bbPress.org

I’ve read other posts on this, but I can’t get URLs to work with “target=_blank” when I add a link in a post. I use the BBcode-Lite plugin, and use blah, and have tried every variation of target=, with quotes, double quotes, slash quotes/double quotes – you name it. It all looks ok, but clicking the link always gives an error page of one form or another. Dammit, at this rate I’ll be on failblog.org before long..!

The place I work have started using BBpress so I thought I’d give it a go on my doctor who fansite,

www.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/forum/

I have to say it’s really easy to use and customize (like wordpress) so thank you to everyone involved!

I installed the bbPress plugin and that went fine using the auto install. (I have WP 2.7) Then I activated it and got a fatal error. I tried re-installing it but now it won’t install because it’s already in the directory. All I remember about the fatal error was that it concerned Line 72 and said something about Akismet. I’m pretty clueless about this stuff. My WordPress expert is incomunicado so I’m hanging out here on my own. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I have WP-MU 2.7.1 + BuddyPress 1.0.1 installed and set up at http://huddle.inversekarma.in. I have copied bbPress 1.0 Rc-1 to http://huddle.inversekarma.in/forums. Now when I try to navigate to this address, I get the “The page you were looking for was not found” error. Is there something wrong with my htaccess? Please help! Thanks

has anyone tested bbpress scalability in terms of no users,topics and comments

At WordCamp Chicago today I heard a presentation by Jeremy Wright of b5media about their integrated WPMU, BuddyPress and bbPress installation. Word is that the plugins that were used to accomplish the integrated logins and BuddyPress bar in the forums will be released in the near future at http://labs.b5media.com/

Right now, the only thing I can find about the installation is here:

I believe the user who will post this information is Terry J. Smith (registered here, but no posts yet.)

I saw a bbPress forum somewhere, where the ‘Create New Topic’ and ‘Reply’ sections were not a visible input box, but a link like; ‘Reply »’ When you click the link, the input box appears in its place. Does anyone know where it is so I can look at the code? Or is it a plugin? (Can’t find anything like that). Thanks.

I have just recently installed bbPress so that I could make it where members of my site could use 1 account for both instead of separate ones. When I did so it caused me to lose my admin but didn’t actually integrate them. What can I do to get my admin back and integrate wordpress and bbPress? I don’t know much more to say about this but if needing more information I will be gladly to give.

After installation, just recognized that the title is too long and the login boxes are hidden by the title.

How and where can I cahnge the title of the forum ??

Thanks

Now I’ve got a couple of forums working the way users need, I’m looking into getting them noticed on the web. I’ve read masses of information on this, including use of HTML page Meta tags and data, plus words in the Meta being in the pages, etc. I must say, I’m somewhat confused by it all.

I don’t have the time to try and become a search engine submission expert, and my charity clients don’t have the money to pay for services like that either. I understand the basic concept of including some HTML Meta tags for search engines to process. Should I just add these manually to index.php, or does it get re-written on the fly by bbPress? (I haven’t tested that yet).

How difficult would it be to create a plugin, say, that lets you enter HTML Meta tags and data in Admin, and then just inserts it into the forum pages so search engines find them? I guess that’s what some of the mentions about v1.0’s meta stuff are about? (I’m using 0.9.0.5) Any help much appreciated.

[edit]

Actually, I realise that a simpler way would be to just write a text file with the HTML Meta information in it, and somehow include it in the header section of various files (or is it only really required in index.php?) I’ve seen an ‘include once’ directive, but guess that just makes a file’s functions available rather than inserting it directly into another? Apologies if the answer is so basic I shouldn’t need to ask, but after six weeks of hard work my head’s fried.
