bbPress.org

I first found BBpress 3 years ago. Personally I don’t remember finding BBpress or what I used it for, but I know that my account on here is 3 years old. I wonder if I have amnesia

When I rediscovered BBpress yesterday I was pretty excited because the fact is that there isn’t anything like this on the net. This is the smoothest, lightest, nicest looking forum software out there.

However, (and it’s always the however that gets y0u) BBpress needs a little forum work. I made a pun. Seriously, just trying to download plugins has been a major pain. Half the files either don’t work or they aren’t there. Some have major security flaws.

So I ask you this, “Where are the forum moderators?” Make BBpress a bit more friendly and you’ll not only make it work better, you’ll also grab more interest from people who will make BBpress a phenomenon.

Hi,

https://bbpress.org/plugins/ looks like a forum but the look is different.

Is it made based on bbpress? or another CMS?

Thanks!

Hi everybody,

I’m just doing some theme work and attempting to remove some of the information from the registration page.

e.g:

search function

tag cloud

form elements (location, occupation, interests)

This way just the bare essentials are visible.

Any tips on how to do this?

I have bbpress and WordPress deeply integrated. How do I link the username link in the WordPress comments to the user’s bbpress profile page? Do I use this function? get_user_profile_link()

Hi guys,

Loving bbpress and I’ve created my own theme which is doing the job.

Where I’m at though is looking at the registration process and also the password aspect in particular.

Feedback I have had is that the random password given isn’t much fun. People just want a link to login. Why are we making people copy and paste some random gibberish from an email? Shouldn’t a link simply take you to the place where you are then asked to enter a password?

Nobody will ever stick with the default gibberish password they are given, and yet when you first login the first thing you are not asked is, hey, setup your password now.

Has anybody played around with functionality like this as it seems pretty basic and obvious to me. If people return to the site and they haven’t setup their password then they are going to be

a) digging through their old emails to find the details

b) doing a password reset

c) too much effort, cbf’d and seeya later forum user

So long story short, a whole step in this process could be circumvented.

1. Register. Username and Email.

2. You get an email, with a link. One shouldn’t need a plugin to activate email login – its default. You can login using the username or your email account.

3. The link takes you to your account details page and suggests as a first time visit you type your password twice.

This will in my opinion wipe out a vast majority of back and forthing to get returning forum users and will just make bbpress so much smoother. The initial steps of getting people registered is the biggest hurdle in any online situation and the less barriers to entry and confusion, the better.

2 questions…

Are there any plugins to achieve the above?

If not, does bbpress have the framework to make it possible for the suggestions to be made into a plugin?

Thanks for reading!!

I have bbpress and WordPress deep integrated and have enabled avatar upload in bbpress using the Avatar Upload plugin. How do you show the bbpress avatars next to the comments in WordPress? I searched the forums and couldn’t find a good solution. Thanks.

How to get face book Themes

I’m using XAMPP and installed ppPress in htdocs etc. So I run this from localhost (localhost:8080). When I’m register myself in my forum (pretending to be a new user=)) and hopping for a confirm mail, I don’t receive any…? How does this work? Shouldn’t I specify a mail server somewhere?

I would like to reverse the topic order so that the most recent topic added is displayed last. I searched the BBpress forums and found an old solution for doing this that doesn’t work anymore, which involved editing topic.php:

‘The easy way is to find get_thread( $topic_id, $page ) in /topic.php and change it to get_thread( $topic_id, $page, true ).’

Thread here

Does anyone know how to do this in the most recent version of BBpress?

I have integrated WordPress 3.0 and bbPress 1.1 user tables and done all the steps and everything works well apart from the cookies

Here is the code I have for both my config files. Can’t see any reason why they shouldn’t be working…
