bbpress 1.0.2 point and click problems

Published on December 5th, 2009 by jimgozieo

I’ve just installed bbpress 1.0.2 and when I go into the forum managemnet page (in the admin section), I have to say the point and click function for editing the forums is a nightmare to use. You have to click a hundred times before the point and click appears. I only have this problem on the forum management page – the rest of the bbpress brilliant.

Way not merge bbpress and BuddyPress into one Software and get new dynamic?

Published on December 5th, 2009 by Sven Lehnert

I really start to love the idea of merging bbpress and buddypress into one software.

Forums are already community software and need most of the buddypress parts.

Other bbpress plugins which offer simalar functionality will anyway fall behind the powerful buddypress solutions.

I think there are just positive effects to bring these two together.

The Buddypress community is young and has a lot of power. I think there are many people just want to jump into the project at the day it will be part of buddypress 100% and not half adapted like now.

I have the feeling the bbpress community is suffering from frustrated people, who were expecting much more from the project.

Now there is Buddypress and brings all together with new dynamic and a positive developing feeling.

Why bbpress not let participate from it and become together a brilliant community software?

In my dreams I see wp and wpmu being one and bbpress and buddypress merged to one wp community component .

What does the bbpress community think about it?

Looking for feedback

Ping @Nightgunner5 – re: trailing slashes

In a previous question regarding problems with getting plugins to play nice (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugins-in-my-plugins-not-installing) you replied (which is strangely missing from the thread at this point) with a link to a piece of patching code. Unfortunately with your reply going AWOL the link is missing now so is there any chance you can point me to it again. As well any chance of a hint to where the code is added to (file name) as I am new to bbPress so it would help to know what file it is that I need to patch.

many thanks in advance.

Can't install

Published on December 4th, 2009 by charlie_the_cat

I would love to have bbPress on our site no matter what I try, it will not install. I get the bbPress installer and Step – Database configuration. I enter the Database name, User name and Password but every time I get the message ‘There was a problem connecting to the database you specified.

Please check the settings, then try again.’

I have tried just about every possible permutation of possible names but no matter what I try, it doesn’t make any difference. I have searched these forums but nothing seems to cover my particular problem. It is a MYSQL database newly created (I have destroyed several to see if that made any difference).

Anybody have any ideas please?

WP Header integration (HOW TO GUIDE)

Published on December 4th, 2009 by

Hi all

I have been looking for the solution, but only found small hints here and there with no real complete guide on how to do it, so i have made a small one that should explain it in a simple way.

(THIS IS BASED ON WP 2.8.6 AND BBPRESS 1.0.2 WITH WP INTEGRATION VIA BBPRESS ADMIN.) If you have older versions installed, i recommend to read this exelent post by ck: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101

step one: Add this string to your bb-config file in your bbpress folder:

require_once(‘/home/ your username/public_html/your wordpress folder/wp-blog-header.php’);

NOTE: The path might be different from host to host, but this is what my path looks like……you get the idea ;O)

step two:

Go to your WP template folder, and open up the file: header.php from your chosen template.

Copy over the content you want after the <BODY> tag, and copy it into your BBpress header.php template file after the <BODY> tag.

What i did here was to take a backup of the original BBpress header.php file, so i could paste in the things i needed from this file to the new one i just

created with the WP header content.

step 3 your css files

My approach to this was of course to take backup of both WP css and BB css files first. I used the BBpress css file as my main css file. I then took the css strings from the WP css file i needed, and simply copied them into my BBpress css file. In my case i needed the header and navigation strings.

NOTE: You might also need to copy the WP css body string, if your BB css Body string has different font measures. Some use EM´s and some use %. This will affect how your fonts react.

And that´s it folks. I hope you understand this, and if other people has something to add to this plz. do so we all can learn.

bbpress theme

Published on December 4th, 2009 by Urme

Is this (bbpress.org) theme downloadable somewhere? I really like this theme.

This forum has a nice W-I-D-E look to it……..

…my pennyforums.com is more narrow. Would I change something in the code or get a new theme?

Thanks for any replies! Wonderful folks here!

List of working plugins with 1.0.2

Published on December 4th, 2009 by

It has been a while, since the alpha/RC-1 times, that we had a list of working plugins, so I thought to create a list of working plugins with the current version 1.0.2, that we can all add to, in order to help other users. Many plugins are listed as up to v. 9.0, but they do work with the latest release (that should be updated, so it doesn’t look like 1.0.2 has very little options…).

Here is my list at the moment, planning on testing more.
