bbPress.org

I’ve installed and integrated bbPress with WP for the first time, and user synchronisation seems to work perfectly. But for some reason, after i install bbPress and setup the integration, the icons in the WordPress admin disappears. I’ve checked that the png files are still in place, and this is the second time this has happened.

As far as I can tell it doesn’t affect any other aspects of the site, but still I’d really like to find out what’s going on.

Hi,

I loaded the plug-in using the backend of Word Press but no admin tools were loaded… in fact I couldnt see any mention of it anywhere other than in “active plug-ins” which said it was installed and active. Never had this problem before with other plug ins.

I’m running WP Version 2.9.1

Hi,

I have wordpress at the root, bbpress in a folder called forums. I had to specify a host for my provider, so I connected to the db, but the second step in the install results in a “unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING” error on line 19 of the config file. I’ve looked at other references to this error and they seem mostly to be that someone mistyped something, but I’m using the one generated by bbPress. I haven’t typed anything at all. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks

Hi,

Since I could not find an “Add new forum” button, and I also want to categorize my forum (make boards, stickies and such), I’d like to know if you can share with me where I can administer bbPress within the BuddyPress install.

I tried surfing over here:

…/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-admin/admin.php

I checked my WPMU dashboard, and I just can’t seem to find an admin panel where I can set up boards and administer bbPress.

Best,

Dainis

I’m trying to install bbpress 1.0.2 into my site and later integrate it with wordpress. Right now I can’t seem to get the installation process to start unless I have the files in a directory specifically labeled “bbpress”.

Otherwise I get an error that reads “An old config.php file has been detected in your installation.” I’ve never installed bbpress on this site before.

I’ve tried installing the directory as “bbpress” and then renaming the directory to “boards” (I already have a set of forums phpbb that I’m unhappy with). Renaming is breaks the install. I have NOT gone ahead and put in any DB info yet into bbpress.

Hey guys,

Today I managed to display a list of topics on my website. A list of the 10 LAST created topics.

Here’s the code:

<!-- dit genereert een lijst met topics -->

<div id="recentetopics">

<h2>Recente topics</h2>

<ul>

<?php

global $bbdb;

$query="SELECT * FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status=0 ORDER BY topic_start_time DESC LIMIT 10";

$results=$bbdb->get_results($query);

foreach ($results as $result) {

echo "<li>".$result->topic_start_time." &rarr; <a href='/topic.php?id=".$result->topic_id."'>".$result->topic_title."</a></li>";

}

?>

</ul>

</div>

<!-- einde lijst topics -->

The problem I’m having with this code is the layout of the timestamp.

It’s like this:

2010-01-25 00:42:07 → Australische firma bouwt snaarloze gitaar met touchscreen

2010-01-24 22:35:44 → Apoplectic sluit contract met Mexicaans promo bedrijf af

2010-01-24 22:22:45 → Nieuwe video HIM online

How can I change that timestamp into something more nice, like “january 25” or something.

Thanks a lot.

Dear members

I’m using wpmu 2.9.1 and lately I’ve installed bbpress 1.0 as subdomain not as directory

http://sabuntu.com

http://forum.sabuntu.com

I’m really tired of trying to integrate my wordpress theme to my forum

I’m using the famous Mystique theme for my wordpress

https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/mystique

I tried many ways to integrate my theme into bbpress but with no avails

I searched almost the whole integration topics and I tried most of em with F mark by the end of each trial.

even I tried the owner of the following website

http://gaut.am/

http://forum.gaut.am/

because he is using the same theme for both wordpress and bbpress, but with no answers

I have database, cookies and registration fully integrated and working nicely

But I need to tweak the forum to looks like my wordpress

Please Help Me

hi, I would like to know if it’s possible to install / download a plugin which allows me to translate bbPress to spanish.

hi

i was wondering if there is such a way to do this

thax

So it sounds like the next major release of bbPress will make bbPress a plugin of WordPress … merging bbPress into WordPress and no longer keeping bbPress as an independent/stand-alone product.

I have a few technical questions as such:

1. Since the future is that bbPress will be a plug-in of WordPress, does that still allow bbPress itself to have plugin capability? Because essentially then, any plugin of bbPress would be a plugin of plugin to WordPress.

2. How would other WordPress plugins effect bbPress? Meaning, if I were to use the SuperCache WordPress plugin – would that then cache my content for bbPress even though bbPress is a plugin itself of WordPress … or, if does it mean that if you use the bbPress WordPress plugin, you cannot use any other WordPress plugin?

3. How would the Admin interface look for bbPress within WordPress. Seems like the Admin interface could easily get messing in a hurry when you have essentially 2 admin consoles (WordPress’ itself and then bbPress’ admin interface within WordPress admin).

For what it’s worth, this is what scares me the most about merging bbPress into WordPress.

The original goal of bbPress was to:

– Open Source, always and forever

– Less (code) is more

– Simplicity is a feature

– Speed and security are the foundation of any good user experience

– Put the user first

Currently, bbPress is close (but not quite there) to meeting the original goals above.

My concern is that by making bbPress a plugin of WordPress, it’s DRASTICALLY moves bbPress away from the original goals because we already know that 1) bbPress would be *more* code, 2) much more complicated, 3) definitely slower given you have to load now WordPress and 4) fundamentally, this is not putting the user first.

Just my 2 cents … also, thanks in advance for answering my questions above
