I looked in my-plugins and don’t see one with an _xxx.php name.

I see that the tinymce.php file was updated on 12/10/09 and I believe that was when the problem started. But, I disabled that plug-in one yesterday and it did not change anything. That file seems to be the only one related to that plug-in that was updated.

I looked through other directories and files and don’t see anything else that was updated on 12/10/09 so far.

Hello together,

i’ve just updated my installation of bbpress 1.0.2 to the trunk version 1.1-alpha. In the trunk version there is an new option called “Login-less Posting”.

Has anyone tested these function? Is it possible the change without problems from the plugin “Anonymous Posting” to the new core function?

A while ago I brought up the idea to make a “Sandbox” theme for bbPress:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/sandbox-theme

I ended up doing that and a bit more. I updated Sandbox for WordPress and built a bbPress theme at the same time, so they work well together and if you skin one you can import the styles to the other quite easily.

http://selfevidenthotdogs.com/bones

It’s not as spare as Sandbox, but the colors are easy to remove and the semantics are there. Here’s the bbPress demo

http://selfevidenthotdogs.com/forum/

Let me know what you think.

[johnhiler]

There used to be a plugin that supported this:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/forum-moderators/

But it was never updated from the version supporting bbPress 0.74…

[scribu]

Done: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1254

[chrishajer]

I recall hearing something similar before. I think it’s worth opening a trac ticket so it can be addressed.

[scribu]

Sometimes, the paging is not updated, after a user posts. This seems to happen only on topics that have one or more deleted messages.

For example, if a topic is supposed to display 20 posts per page, and a user creates the 21st post, the topic will not show “Page 1, 2”.

If I go to ?view=all, there’s no problem.

To trigger the paging update, it’s usually enough to create a new post and then delete it.

Any ideas of why this might be happening?

[thion]

I’ve updated my bbPress to 1.0.2 and I’ve noticed I can’t update my user profile anymore. On default theme, there there’s no problems, but on my custom theme problems do exists. More than that, I can’t see administration section in profile edit, but on default theme I do see it.

What have changed since 1.0.0 that might caused such problem? I can’t see any different things in default theme that would be missing in my custom theme…

[josh16]

@Refuled thanks.

I’m working on a few myself, one of them being an updated version of the K2 bbPress theme that appears to be broken. If you know anything about combining WP and bbPress template files, let me know.

[rohanduggan]

Sounds cool, thanks for the info. Sorry for the redundant post in that case… I thought somebody had just not updated the message assuming (and we know what they say about assumptions:)) that if the plug in was searchable via WP backend with an install button that it might be installable. My enthusiasm (desperation) for a decent BB for WP got the better of me

[altuin]

I may be on to something here !

It seems to be working partially now.

I was using the steps described here http://blog.markroberthenderson.com/getting-rid-of-forums-and-topic-from-bbpress-permalinks-updated-plugin/comment-page-1/#comment-37 .

I tried it with the htaccess rules from here http://www.technospot.net/blogs/how-to-remove-forum-and-topic-keyword-from-bbpress-url/ instead those from the plugin dir.

Now i will try:

1. admin-backend link

2. the rss thing that you mentioned somewhere at the middle of the post.

Thanks!!!

UPDATE!

Admin link also working!

[Dailytalker]

What you can do is what I have….

http://www.dailytalk.ch/forum

1st step

Download the plugin, you find on the link bellow and follow the instructions on that site:

http://blog.markroberthenderson.com/getting-rid-of-forums-and-topic-from-bbpress-permalinks-updated-plugin/comment-page-1/#comment-37

2nd step

If the name of your forum is “forums” you need to name the RewriteBase /forums/

RewriteBase /forums/

If the name of your forum is “community” your RewriteBase is /community/

RewriteBase /community/

etc.

3rd step

After you have followed the steps of that site you will find some bugs. To solve them do the following:

To solve the major bugs you need to do this:

I found a solution for the admin-backend link!

Just ad the following code

RewriteRule ^bb-admin/$ – [L]

before this code

RewriteRule ^([^.]+)/([^.]+)/page/([0-9]+)/?$ topic.php?id=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]

and it works!!! Cool.

---

I found another mistake. The “topics-RSS” where missing because you deleted one rewrite mod too much. To repair this you need to put the following code just after the mod rewrites for “view”

RewriteRule ^rss/topics/?$ rss.php?topics=1 [L,QSA]

original code:

RewriteRule ^rss/topics/?$ /forum/rss.php?topics=1 [L,QSA]

Than also the rss-feed for the topics should work.

[Dailytalker]

What about bbpress 2.0?

http://bbpress.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/forum-front-page.png

I think that most of the common problems could be handled in 1 week.

Most recent problems I have with bbpress:

1st I need seo-optimized permalinks. (without “forums” and “topic”)

2nd I need a facebook connect option

3rd Ineed a cool template simliar to sam bauers bbpress 2.0 template.

Whit this I would be happy.

There where only some attemps to solve the problem with the permalinks. There is also a plugin for this but there are some small problems which an expert could solve within minutes. The same for fb-connect. An expert could solve the problem within minutes.

Regarding the bbpress 2.0 template I don’t now how long it could take to get it work. But with that bbpress would be excellent.

For most other things there are already some plugins…some just need to be updated to the current bbpress version. Thats all. (in my view.)

[Dailytalker]

I’d like to remove “forums” and “topics” from bbPress permalinks.

This looks ugly:

http://domain.com/forums/forum/name-of-forum/

http://domain.com/forums/topic/title-of-topic/

Therefore I want this:

http://domain.com/forum/name-of-forum/title-of-topic

Therefore I downloaded a plugin and followed the steps described on this website:

http://blog.markroberthenderson.com/getting-rid-of-forums-and-topic-from-bbpress-permalinks-updated-plugin/comment-page-1/#comment-37

Unfortunately I don’t get it work. I think there are some mod rewrites missing. Unfortunately I am not a mod rewrite expert. Is there anybody who could help me?

Thats the htaccess code which works with the ugly url:

Whats missing in the second htaccess code? It must be something with “page”, “forum” or “topic”.

[OKTeaRoom]

Ahhh..Thanks for the advice!

Easy Twitter Links is the conflicting plugin! The odd part is, I’ve had them working together before and neither has been updated.

Hmm…I have added more plugins last week but could the addition of a different plugin cause a conflict between two that previously worked fine together?

Thanks again.

[jaqdesign]

I apologise in advance if I come across as a newb – in a lot of ways, I am!!

This morning I tried to install (and integrate) BBpress at http://www.serenespirit.com.au, which is running WordPress 2.9. The WordPress side of things was working perfectly until this, so I am lead to believe that BBPress is the most obvious culprit of my problems now, but I have also posted an urgent HELP to the good people on the WordPress forum.

Anyway, long story fairly short, I went through the BBPress install / integration following the instructions at http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-integration-coockie-does-not-work#post-61969. I got to the end of it, tried it out, and it didn’t work. I figured I have missed something, so instead of going back over it step by step I deleted BBPress from the server, updated the cookies on WP using the wp.config file, and reset the cache in my browser.

Here’s where the panic sets in – suddenly, I couldn’t view any of the PUBLIC pages and posts in wordpress (including the home page!) unless I was logged in, either as Admin or another user. EVERY page and post results in a 404. To add insult to injury, I now can not delete or change the status of ANY post or page (I.e from public – private), although I can edit the content.

I have been through the WP forums with a fine comb, tried deleting the WP .htaccess file, resetting permalinks to Default, deactivated all my plugins and reset the AUTH keys in wpconfig a half dozen times, nothing is working.

The only thing I can think of is that something very screwy is going on with the DB, but not knowing enough about it I am really hesitant to start playing with it any more. I understand this really needs to be fixed within WP, but I thought since this only started after my attempt to install BB SOMEONE here might have an idea of even something else I could TRY. I am at a loss, and this is a client’s live website!!

PLEASE HELP!!

[citizenkeith]

@ buddha trance While I’m hoping this thread will help with plugin development, it really is a selfish thread so i can speed some of these plugins up.

Things are looking good though… I’m really surprised that a lot of _ck_’s plugins are working, especially the ones in my “not sure if it works” list. She was pretty adamant that they needed to be updated.

[Fernando Tellado]

@mangaware: I’m using last version (updated some days ago) and works fine. I didn’t know that it is unsecure (oops)

[citizenkeith]

Hello folks,

It’s my hope that this thread can help move bbPress Plugin development forward. I’m not a programmer but I use bbPress for two different sites. One site is running v0.9.0.6 and the other is running v1.0.2.

I am considering upgrading my 0.9 forum to 1.0.2, since development is beginning to move forward, and some plugins are getting updated. Before making that decision, I decided to go through all the plugins I currently use in 0.9 and see if they have been updated, or in the very least, tweaked by current users. My method for checking this was to read through all the plugin threads for comments or tweaks, and to test some in my 1.0.2 forum.

I broke my list down to five separate lists:

1) Plugins that work

2) Plugins that work, with some bugs (according to some users)

3) Plugins that don’t work

4) Plugins that work with tweaks/changes

5) Plugins that may or may not work (conflicting info in threads, no comments since v1.x was released, etc)

I will only post lists 2-5.

I welcome your comments. If you have specific comments or tweaks, please post them in the that plugin’s thread (see links below).

What bbpress really needs is it’s “SANDBOX” theme. This was the groundbreaking wordpress theme that really took the platform to another level by giving themers a “clean slate” on which to work.

I recently updated Sandbox for wp 2.9 (http://selfevidenthotdogs.com/sandbox/) and have a mind to create something similar for bbpress. This will take some time, I’m no genius.

If someone else is working on this already, please let me know, we can work together on it.

[Olaf Lederer]

John, sure there is no guarantee, but the bbpress development over the last 2 years was never so active as for wordpress.

My Forum is ~ 2years old and I updated only once (to 1.02)

and at the end we have to trust Matt

[Michael]

bbPress will actually be suited for your needs, as it’s simple enough for those who are not tech savvy.

Just as a shortened update (and someone else may correct me on this one, if I’m wrong):

bbPress 1.0.2 has full support by the community, and there are newly developed plugins for it. I can assure you that there are more than 30 plugins that work perfectly with 1.0.2 – and several are still being updated today.

Version 1.1 is planned as a standalone release, so far as I know. It will have a number of stability issues treated, as well as a number of new features; one being Email Subscription (which is live on this forum – see the top area of this post).

In my eyes, it’s very safe for you to go ahead and download 1.0.2. Plenty people are still downloading it today. As per usual (and as with every other well-known PHP package), bbPress does have an upgrade system. For future versions, there will probably be a migration system to move everything from the standalone forum to the plugin based one.

I hope you do stick around – there’s plenty more to come. Keep an eye on the blog – there are informative updates there. There is also an IRC meetup on Wednesday, for which the logs will be posted on the blog immediately after.

Take care

Michael

[timskii]

I’m clearly not awake yet (the email did arrive with Ben L.’s update), but:

It looks like it sends out an email regardless of how many minutes have elapsed since the last email.

This is going to get a few forums marked as spammers, because the sheer volume of almost-identical emails sent out could be huge. And imagine subscribing to a big forum topic, only to wake up the next morning to discover 20 emails telling you the topic had been updated. It doesn’t seem to scale well for very long and/or frequently updated topics.

Perhaps wait until the user does something on the forums before sending anything other then the first email? But BBPress doesn’t seem to record any actions against the user.

Added: A very crude test could only send out an email if the user’s last_posted time fell in between the time of this post and the previous post. It’s a very approx measure of activity, neither relating directly to the subscribed topic, nor reflecting a visit to only read. And would need some explanation (“you won’t be updated again until you post on the forums”). I already don’t like that as a solution, but it would put a cap the spamming, while still being somewhat useful as a means of getting the author back to the forum.

Second random thought: Since this function is already looking like something that might need to be turned off, perhaps it should be sitting in bb-plugins?

[kickerman360]

Hi,

So far from browsing the forums, there is a somewhat minor issue regarding WordPress and bbPress when it comes to shared cookies and logins. Here is what happens:

WordPress Login = WordPress Dashboard

bbPress Login = WordPress Dashboard

Wordpress Login != bbPress Dashboard <– Problem

bbPress Login = bbPress Dashboard

So basically whenever I login via WordPress (there is a main site login form in the header), I can access the forums and it even shows I am logged in however when I click “Admin”, I am redirected to the forum index.

Other forum posts which didn’t have a solution (in my case atleast):

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-access-admin-dashboard

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forumbb-admin-redirects-me-to-forum

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forumsbb-admin-just-redirects-me-to-forums

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/admin-link-redirects-to-front-page

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/admin-link-doesnt-take-me-to-dashboard

Things I’ve tried:

Going directly to the mysite.com/forums/bb-admin/index.php

Checked all hash keys and other wp/bb-config.php stuff

Updated to the latest WordPress and bbPress

Deactivated all plugins (I only had Akismet and reCAPTCHA bbPress anyway)

Clearing cache (Firefox)

Trying in another browser (Internet Explorer)

Does anyone have a clear cut solution? Most people are happy with just using bbPress to get to the admin panel but it would be nice if it worked.

[citizenkeith]

That’s the problem with most of the plugins here (especially those written by _ck_)… they work great with 0.9 but not with 1.x. This is the main reason I’ve stuck with 0.9 for my main forum. Until plugins are updated or new ones written, they can’t be used with 1.0.
