bbPress.org

i’d use only registration and login page of wordpress, so i can delete this two bbpress pages ?

I’m using a plugin to convert user password on wordpress to MD5, is it a problem if i integrate bbpress on wordpress ?

i’ve wordpress 2.8 and bbpress 1.0, i must create a new database for bbpress or i must use the wordpress database ? Thanks

I’ve just added the Allow-Images plugin to a forum to bring a little life to some topics. There’s a post you can see at http://mbforum.letsdoo.org/topic/visitors-who-arent-registered#post-17.

I’m trying to figure out a way to put a 1 pixel grey border around images, like the avatar image on the left has. The avatar has its own CSS formatter, but I’m not so hot with CSS and can’t work out how to do it for the image in a post. I’ve used the usual bbcode [ img ] xyz [ /img ], but putting a CSS format tag in the [ img ] part stops the image from being displayed.

I guess I could hard code it into the plugin, but any better ideas..?

Edit:

Duh. I answered my own question. I just changed the stylesheet

img.avatar { display: block; border: 1px solid #ddd; border-width: 3px; border-style: double; }

to

img, img.avatar { display: block; border: 1px solid #ddd; border-width: 3px; border-style: double; }

Howdy folks…have a suggestion to improve bbPress for everyone (I love the service, don’t want this to be taken as harsh criticism toward the terrific developers, etc)

I just started 2 sites running bbPress (http://NewsTalkPA.com and http://SportsTalkPA.com) and the # 1 question/complaint I get from people is “how do I get to select my profile picture”.

(Before we go any farther, yes, I have a sticky on both sites re: how to get a Gravatar pic)

I love bbPress, but with Automattic behind both Gravatar AND bbPress (AND Gravatar support being built right in) it is in everyone’s best interests if there were better directions internally for new folks that signup on bbPress sites re: how to select a Gravatar.

Hey, with WordPress, blogs, etc not everyone will comment and when they eventually do they might want to stay anonymous…BUT With bbPress its a little different. The whole point of signing up is to start chiming away and making yourself known by fleshing out your profile. People are pretty unhappy when they find out its difficult to select a picture.

Think about it: It’s pretty inconvenient for folks to signup on a site, get the email with their password, login, and then, BLAM, find out there is no direction as to how to get a Gravatar on their profile page (they are not going to see a Gravatar directions sticky unless they really look…trust me, they are looking under the profile information for picture stuff)

How about a little revamping on the profile editing pages with a link to the Gravatar website and a little direction that this is how they can select their profile picture. Any thoughts?

If bbPress included something like this the number of new Gravatar signups would skyrocket and the service would become even more widespread (There is NO downside to this)

I’m trying out bbPress, completely clean install, nothing fancy, my own machine with apache 2.2

Installation goes through without any problems, config file gets created, database gets filled.

When I trying to log on first time, the login page redirects me to incorrect location:

“POST /bb/bb-login.php HTTP/1.1” 302 –

“GET /bb/bb/ HTTP/1.1” 404 279

As can be seen, “bb” (the name of installation subdirectory) appears twice.

Lets work around the error by correcting the url manually in the browser:

“GET /bb/ HTTP/1.1” 200 3356

The forum appears to work fine, however attempt to click the “Admin” link (by the only existing, key master user) leads to even more peculiar behavior:

“GET /bb/bb-admin/ HTTP/1.1” 302 –

“GET /bb/ HTTP/1.1” 200 3356

As can be seen, server immediately redirects access back to the starting page (the correct one, unlike the “login” redirect).

Does anybody have any idea what can it be?

I just wanted that plugin to work, so just researched a little bit and here is the fix.

Open the plugin-browser.php

Add this line below <?php at the top:

if ($_GET['plugin'] == 'plugin_browser_admin_page') { include( '../bb-admin/includes/functions.bb-plugin.php' ); }

Note: If you have plugin-browser file in another folder within my-plugins, then use this:

if ($_GET['plugin'] == 'plugin_browser_admin_page') { include( '../../bb-admin/includes/functions.bb-plugin.php' ); }

Hi all,

I have a bbPress 1.0-alpha-6 running, and I don’t know why the favorites link on a topic doesn’t entirely work.

When I click on the link “Add this topic to your favorites”, it creates a meta on the database “bb_favorites” with the proper id, BUT, the link still shows “add this topic to your favorites” instead of a link to the favorite page.

AND, if I add another topic to my favs, it doesn’t add the id with the previous ones, but overrides the meta_value with the new one

Is it a known bug or is something wrong with my bbpress ..?

bbPress 1.0 is now available for download.

An announcement on the blog will come soon detailing all the changes from 0.9 (which are numerous). I’d also like to send out some interim thanks to everyone who helped with testing to bring this release up to scratch.

If you are upgrading from 0.9 or earlier then be sure to make a full backup of both your files and database.

You can track downloads via the new counter here:

bbPress is sooooo great – the board of my dreams, but without Caching-Plugin its nearly useless for me because its soooooooooooo slow. Are there any major tips to improve the performance? Or is someone just working on a Caching-Plugin?
