Resuming Weekly Dev Chats

Published on July 19th, 2010 by Gautam Gupta

As we are coming back on trac(k), I think we should also resume our weekly dev IRC chats.

I also had a suggestion of keeping it between 4:30 AM (GMT) and 5:00 PM (GMT) (on weekends), or between 11:30 AM (GMT) and 5:00 PM (GMT) (on weekdays), so I could attend them (though I know that it would be not beneficial for all to just change it for one person).

Thanks!

My questions for Matt again, since he closed my other topic

Published on July 19th, 2010 by wtfmatt2

Hey Matt, way to prove my point by locking my post. Ironically, your failure to upkeep this project is what makes its moderation tools so horrible.

====================

In response to your post here, since you closed the topic (again):

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-plugin-is-born/page/3#post-71276

Well hello Matt, welcome back to bbpress. How were your last 6 months?

Mine were full of frustration and wasted time, mostly because all the meetups and chats you always mention have zero value, since you never keep your word, nor keep anybody in the loop, not least of all, the top bbpress devs in this community.

Now that you are here, do everyone a favor and answer these questions:

1) what is happening to bbpress.org?

2) is bbpress as a standalone definitely being abandoned, permanently?

3) how will the above affect the status of backpress?

There is not pent up rage from many decisions, but rather from indecision, misdirection, lying, and abandonment. In other words, people wasting other peoples’ time and efforts.

Therefore your sweet soliloquies serve absolutely no purpose except to further the frustration and belief that you are purposefully ignoring everything that everyone is saying, for no apparent reason. Thus, we all assume you are making your own secret plans as there is no logical or mature alternative reasoning to your (in)actions.

I hope you don’t run away from this forum again for 3 months in reaction to my criticism, which I deliver in the hope of progress and answers, and not to merely belittle (as the members here aimed to many times before, even though you ran away then too).

Turned bbPress into my blog

Published on July 19th, 2010 by ZKuJoe

I was using WordPress for a while but I prefer forums over blogging software so bbPress was the best of both worlds! I just altered the default theme to look more like a blog. Let me know what you think.

Moving posts to catagories is disabled

Published on July 19th, 2010 by xarzu

I created some catagories in my bbpress forum and I tried to move a post to one of the catagories by using the drop-down menu but it did not work. The new catagories were disabled. Why?

Login into WP, logged out of BBP

Published on July 19th, 2010 by jmharrington

Currently I’m logged out of both WP & BBP.

When I:

– log into WP, BBP doesn’t recognize the login.

– log into BBP, WP doesn’t recognize the login.

– log into both (separate windows), the first one I logged into gets logged out.

I can only log into either WP or BBP, not both at the same time. All of my ‘cookie’ values are the same in WP config and BBP config .php files. User roles are setup also.

I have the following directory setup:

– /wp-admin, /wp-content … etc.

– wp config file

– /Forum

— bbp config file + all other files

Quick note to Matt, since he is here (momentarily)

Post Counts?

Published on July 18th, 2010 by NoPeace

Hello,

I’m just wondering if its possible to have post counts to show for users in bbPress?

bbPress activity metrics

Published on July 18th, 2010 by Matt Mullenweg

If anyone is curious there is still a download counter for bbPress here:

https://bbpress.org/download/counter/

It does about 200 downloads per day still.

About 2,000 people downloaded a plugin (any plugin) last month.

We had 208 people post to the forums last month.

Any other metrics folks are curious about?

_ck_ owes me ten bucks

At least if it’s the same _ck_ as here:

But in lieu of cash I will accept some testing on 1.1.

new performance testing plugin: Browser Timer

Published on July 17th, 2010 by _ck_

This is a very early beta release for advanced users who may find it useful.

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/browser-timer/

(works in 0.9 and 1.x)

example log:

While my bb-benchmark plugin will tell you how long it’s taking your server to make pages, you really have no idea how long it’s taking your users to browse your forums and see those pages.

ie. 200ms on the server side may be 5 seconds with javascript on the visitors side

You can time your own browser, but often you have many things already cached and might use a faster browser or live much closer to your server than someone else across the country or the other side of the world.

So now you can know exactly how long it’s taking for them to see your pages.

It’s very accurate in my testing, within 100ms typically.

Basically it works by using a sort of “round trip” timer.

You can add a geo-location database and it will tell you what country the visitor is in, which helps to understand why a time may be so high/low.
