bbPress.org

I just read this at the following URL, http://bbshowcase.org/forums/. I am not sure what it means or I may be behind the times. Can someone explain the status of bbPress to me and for those of us currently working with it.

” The bbPress Showcase has been discontinued.

The removal of Sam Bauers and the halting of bbpress.org 2.0

was a clear and final sign that there is no interest in allowing

bbPress to become a mature, robust program and community.

By now bbPress 1.5 could have been in alpha but instead

bbPress development has been deliberately stagnated,

which should be a very alarming warning to everyone.

In addition, bbShowcase had only six donations in 2009,

which indicated to me there was no interest in my work.

My code will remain on bbpress.org as open source GPL

for those that wish to use it, however I caution you to

consider bbPress’s lack of leadership before continuing to use it. “

Thanks and I appreciate the update.

Hi,

I’ve got a site I created with html. I’d like to add a bulletin board to it without redesigning the site using WordPress. How do I do this?

Thanks,

Brettha

Backed up everything.

Saved my bb-config.php (but did not need to re-install this, right?).

Saved my my-plugins dir.

Disabled all plugins.

Changed from 0.9 to 1.0 using a symlink reset.

Was asked to enter several config options, such as database name. Did it all.

Installer claims that db was available etc. and declares the job done.

New Forum 1.0 appears, I can login using previous credentials.

Postings seem intact.

However, clicking on “Admin” makes the browser go briefly to bb-admin and then back to the home page.

Clue: after login, the browser claims:

The requested URL /pub/pub/ was not found on this server.

My Forums live in /pub and this was also offered by the installer as default. The /pub symlinks to the 1.0 dir. Manually going there works.

Hello all,

I am currently coding a theme to match my blog’s layout (which is Mystique theme by digitalnature). I want it to be a bit different from the default kakumei theme, so I need all your suggestions of what improvements can be made in the theme.

Here is the current theme which I have prepared till now – http://forum.gaut.am/

(Also check any topic page)

Thanks!

Hi,

We have setup WPMU 2.8.6 integrating with bbpress 1.0.2.

Integration is working 100% for newly created users, logging in via the main site and browsing to the forums – the user is able to post, etc.

However, some users have been added via the back-end and we used to have a plugin installed that disabled activation. If you login with one of these users credentials on the main site and browse over to the forums you are unable to post (it just reloads the main forums page when you click on reply or post); if you login directly on the forums with the user details he is able to post.

Any comments on how we might be able to rectify the issue would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance

I figure someone might find this useful, as it took me a while to do properly. The following is some code I’m using to create a bullet point (<ul>) list of forums which nests sub-forums nicely, in my case for a sidebar.

<?php if ( bb_forums() ) :

while ( $depth = bb_forum() ) :

if( $depth > $last_depth ) : ?>



<?php			echo str_repeat("	",$depth) ?><ul>

<?php		else : ?></li>

<?php			while( $depth < $last_depth ) :

echo str_repeat("	",$depth+1) ?></ul>

<?php				echo str_repeat("	",$depth) ?></li>

<?php			$last_depth--;

endwhile;

endif;

if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) :

echo str_repeat("	",$depth) ?><li class="forum_cat"><a href="<?php forum_link() ?>" title="<?php forum_description(array('before'=>'','after'=>'')) ?>"><?php forum_name() ?></a><?php

else :

echo str_repeat("	",$depth+1) ?><li class="forum_subforum"><a href="<?php forum_link() ?>" title="<?php forum_description(array('before'=>'','after'=>'')) ?>"><?php forum_name() ?></a><?php

endif;

$last_depth = $depth;

endwhile ?></li>

</ul>

</li>

</ul>

<?php endif; // bb_forums() ?>

It should give you reasonably clean indenting of HTML too and is XHTML 1.0 valid. Take out the str_repeat() calls if you don’t care about tidy code.

Hi,

Just one question : how customized the “menu class=”login”

for this structure :

<h2>Bienvenue</h2>

Thanks and happy news year

XAMPP on local machine, here is one line of several that appear at top of bbpress login page after installation was apparently completed successfully.

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:xampphtdocsbbpressbbpressbb-settings.php on line 186

and when I try to log in a bunch more error messages. XAMPP works fine with wordpress by the way.

Thanks, Roger

Here are some questions related to translation of bbPress.

Is there any other word for “bozo” that is more common, because I don’t know how to translate this? In 0.9 branch I left this untranslated, but now I want to do complete translation.

What are “voices”? This is introduced in 1.0 branch.

What is “View” in this strings: %1$s » View: %2$s and <abbr title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</abbr> feed for this view?

There is sting “Halting installation!” used in error log on install/upgrade. Does install/upgrade stop at that moment or what happens (I’m not sure how to translate it)?

In file bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php, there are strings REQUEST_URI and PATH_INFO. Should we translate this or leave it (because it is mistakenly wrapped in __() function?

Thanks in advance

Hello

I installed bbPress ok and had admin rights under a user named admin. Then I finished integrating with my wordpress site. It logged me out as the admin and now when I access with my WordPress admin account I cannot see any settings to change.

When I try and log in with the bbPress admin it says there is no admin user. Basically I have no way of changing settings.

Please could someone help with my problems?

Thanks
