An extremely, over exaggerated word that has been used to change the developmental focus of bbpress is Integration.

Its time we address this burdening issue and close the book on this 2 year old bug, mental or developmental. And to do this we will collectively discussion what integration is, what its not, and what is best for the bbpress project and community in the long run.

1st. One of the most important points that I would like to express is, Integration doesn’t mean Plugin. I could talk till im blue in the face on this, or link old posts where unknowing users use the words interchangeably … but its easier to point to this open and active discussion

Integration can mean, user integration, data sharing, shared user profiles etc. This doesn’t have to be just WordPress, but if bbpress is reduced to nothing more than a WordPress plugin, than the future of bbpress is contingent upon wordpress not to mention the effects this has on development “which is evident”

I wanted to keep this topic short and to the point, but isnt to say i wont weigh in with lengthy replys

To end this chapter of confusion and to get bbpress back on trac, on February 14 I propose a IRC meeting which will follow with a blog post of the results with a roadmap for the future.

I wanted to hold a deep discussion regarding the future of bbpress being developed as a “plugin” or independent with the capabilities of integration.

I’m working on a video site, and I want to add a comments section to each video. So I plan to create a bbPress forum to compliment each video. But I want to integrate that forum into each video’s existing web page rather than forcing users to load up the existing forum site.

So, I plan to use jQuery on the video page to retrieve the comment forum’s contents in RSS form, then display them in the existing page beneath the video. That seems like it would be pretty straightforward.

The tricky part is this: is there any way to create an add comment form in the existing page that uses AJAX-type methods to communicate with my bbPress back end? (It would also have to be able to handle logging in.)

For what it’s worth, I nominate chrishajer as bbPress Project Lead.

It was brought up as an excellent next step in the thread linked below that Matt closed.

@chrishajer, I’m not sure if you will accept this nomination. If you do, I’m definitely willing to donate $100 to you to help augment your expenses. I know it’s not much but it’s what I can budget right now.

Reason why I believe chrishajer is the most qualified:

* To date, chrishajer has been the only remaining devoted lead of bbPress. To my understanding, it’s also the only moderator of this forum beside Matt.

* chrishajer understands the needs of what bbPress users want. He also understands what’s need for a product be successfull, such as: setting release dates, establish features & bug fixes to work on, etc

* people respect chrishajer and would easily take lead from him

I’ve installed last version bbpress avaible, in italian language (official translation).

When i create a new member and receive the email it contains instead of è the string &egrave ;

Example:

Il tuo nome utente &egrave ;: myusername

La tua password &egrave ;:

How to solve that ?

Thanks

I have a new integrated install. I could access the bb-admin dashboard last night when I did the install but I can’t access it today. I’m guessing it’s a cookie issue.

I am logged in as the admin. I can do things like modify/edit posts, modify my user profile, etc. but I have no access to the dashboard. I get redirected back to the main /forum/ page away from /forum/bb-admin/

I have played w/ WP and nothing I do over there w/ regards to permalinks or any other setting seems to affect this /bb-admin/ issue.

Any help appreciated.

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?

Just a few quick update for those at the development side:

I’ve went through Trac and made some changes for 1.1. Mostly the involve bunting things to the next again release of BBpress.

If you’re the owner of a ticket that has been moved, please check that you’re ok with it. When reviewing the list there were way too many “tasks” or new bits of functionality needed that were not going to make it into this release of BBpress. On top of that there were too many bugs/features that really needed to be re-written from the ground up to make it into this next release.

If you have any bugs, please add them to Trac so we can keep this moving along.

Thanks,

Kev
