bbPress.org

I just upgraded to RC2, and when I try to post anchor tags the quotes get turned into HTML special characters and the leading ‘http’ is stripped. For example if I try something like:

<a href="http://example.com">Example</a>

It gets changed to this:

<a href="//example.com&quot;">Example</a>

I only have two plugins enabled: bozo and akismet. Any ideas?

I thought I would show off my first completed bbPress project:

dinetoread.ie

dinetoread.ie/forums

(Note: currently the forum login integration is actually broken (see this thread) due to my hastiness to upgrade WordPress to 2.8 without finishing checking everything first.)

User registration and logging in/out is all handled through bbPress. Integration worked perfectly first time when following the invaluable basic integration screencast by sambauers.

Customisations include:

• A bbPress theme written from the ground up, to match the rest of the site.
• Extended user profiles showing “Currently reading” and favourite books (example of a full profile).
• Private profile fields for private information needed when signing up for events.
• Additional meta information on topics to optionally display the book being discussed (example on this topic).
• Reverse thread ordering option, to allow visitors and users to reverse the order of posts in a thread (persistent).
• Custom avatar uploading functionality (defaults to Gravatar).
• Basic but surprisingly effective protection against spam user registrations in the form of blocking any registration which includes a value in the URL profile field (this field is not used on the site nor shown on the registration form). It works on the premise that any registration submission that includes a value in the URL field must be an automated spam bot registration and can simply be blocked.
• A second level of spam registration protection using the StopForumSpam.com API.

All the customisations have been achieved through custom plugins, the core hasn’t been touched. All the book images and links are automatically pulled in from the Amazon Web Services API.

I’m planning on releasing a couple of the plugins I wrote for the site once I’ve tidied them up and added some comments. I’ll probably wait until bbPress 1.0 though.

Any feedback appreciated!

Sorry I hate to open another integration thread, but I’ve tried to understand this a few times and still don’t get it.

I have a wp blog and a bbpress install. They don’t share the same database.

The wp blog only has 1 or 2 users, the bbpress has a few thousand. What I want is to integrate these 2 so that if someone logs into the bbpress, they are also logged into the blog so they don’t have to re-enter their login credentials when they post a comment on the blog.

My wp is 2.7 and bbpress is .9.

Does anyone have any advice on how I could achieve this? Or should I upgrade my wp and bbpress and try it then?

Thanks.

Hi All,

(Newbie) I just installed bbPress and elected to integrate with WordPress, no problem initially. I then did something stupid, I saw a path name www.mysite.com/forum/forum/… and thought I had created a nested set of folders with the same name in my directory. It actually was the name of the first forum. So–I deleted the installation and the corresponding page in WP and then recreated the directory, installed the files, created the page again and this time, I could not get past step one of the installation. As soon as I click step 2 it goes to my root domain. I assume that there is now an entry in the wp database for the path and I can not change it. When I try to load that page, I get the login page, however it lacks the theme but does have the description I have in the original install (so that data survived my delete) and when I click submit I get a 404 page. I don’t know what to do to reset things. Please help!!

Why there isn’t a bbpress version totally integrated with wordpress ? I would a BBpress with the same user db, the same login panel, the same registration page. Is there a possibility to see this in the future ? Thanks

Hi – I’ve been looking all over the place and see references to themes but can only find a couple of unsatisfactory views. Am I missing something?

thx.

Hi guys. My name is Kenneth L. and I run the website http://www.zixpk.com/. Ive been trying for many hours today to install bbpress and get it up and running. My hosting is on Godaddy. I was wondering if there was anyone out there who would be willing to install the forum for me, since I have no clue on how to do it, (and the instructions are confusing).

At this point I am even willing to pay someone. Please help.

I have a forum called “Today Only” that I would like to show only topics and posts that were made today, so that each day it would be a completely new discussion. I do not want any of my other forums to be affected by this, they will function normally.

Can anyone think of a way to accomplish this?

after delete post not delete yet i got this post on my admin cp how to remove it permanently and how to download backup ????
