bbPress.org

Hey all! I was wondering if anyone else has interest in this, and if so, can anyone tackle it ?!? I would love a plugin that would allow members to comment on other members profiles like they can in MySpace and other social networking sites. I personally think it would be a great addition!

Ok here come the explanation. I have wpmu bbpress install all integrated. Styling is still a little screwy in IE but thats not the main problem.

I have installed a copy of WP on a subdirectory. In that subdirectory I created another subdirectory for bbpress. I have been trying to install bbpress but it says it cannot access the db. I know the its not the database name, username or password it must be the path?

here is the path structure

mainwpmuinstall/wpinstall/bbpressinstall

$bb->domain = ‘http://mysoberlife.com’;

$bb->path = ‘/democlinical/forums’;

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://mysoberlife.com/democlinical’;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://mysoberlife.com/democlinical’;

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

Been trying different options and can’t get it to work. Was hoping I made some silly simple error that someone more experienced could pick up.

I can’t think up a reason why bbpress couldn’t work on a subdirectory set up like this.

I’m doing some integration of WordPress and bbPress and I need to know where this certain function is before the login_form function will work correctly on the WordPress site. The function I cannot find is:

bb_is_user_logged_in

If someone could tell me in which file this function is located, well, you would make my day.

Is there any way to add favorites in the profile

I currently run a small forum (for my Guild Wars guild) using phpBB. Would bbPress use less bandwidth (for the same posts) than phpBB?

I have just released a new bbPress theme called Superbold 1.0. Its based on a design by gorotron.

Demo and download link:

Would like to know what you guys think. Thanks.

Hi, bbPress appears to run well on the popular http://sourceforge.net/, with the notable and problematic exception of emailing users passwords, both on registration and for password resets.

A thread from last year posted a workaround for new users, bypass email and show users their generated password in the browser. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/82?replies=14#post-349

However the patch no longer applies, or at least I couldn’t see how and where to apply it. There seems to have been quite a bit of code change in the last 7 months, and the fellow who posted that patch seems to have chosen a different route as the forums are no longer there on his site.

Even if this patch could be updated to apply to the current bbPress code base however it would not deal (I think) with the also much needed function of resetting passwords.

Sourceforge has posted a workaround for projects who need to use email registration, basically queue the messages up and fire them off in a cron job. http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=4297&group_id=1#email

I personally would be happy to see that implemented in bbPress, as a plugin since it’s SF specific, however I’ve seen a number of other threads which indicate a more generic solution would be useful:

We’re really excited to announce that we’ve just put up a brand new contact form on Pro Forums for everyone so that you can submit news about bbPress, new plugins, or new templates. It’s really tough for us to keep track of every piece of bbPress news and every new release going on and so with this new contact form we hope to shed more light on some of the plugins, themes, or news we would normally have missed. Don’t be shy, if you’ve just created a new template or plugin that you are really proud of, tell us, and we’ll have it up on Pro Forums A.S.A.P. If you’ve got some breaking news that Pro Forums missed, sending it over to us and we’ll have it up as fast as we can.

So head on over to the new contact form.

Also if anyone has criticism or other ideas, please share.

I would like to stop using Akismet in bbPress only and keep it running for my WordPress blog. The reason is only registered authors of the blog can access bbPress and hence there is no need to check spam from them. What Akismet ends up doing is blocking sometimes authors’ messages in bbPress.

Is there a simple way to do this without upsetting Akismet in my WordPress blog?

This is a WordPress plugin. It will not work as a plugin in bbPress. WordPress and bbPress must be integrated.

bbSync will integrate WordPress and bbPress pretty thoroughly. Any posts made on the blog will create a new topic on the forums (this supports slugs and anything else that will come). Any replies made to the topic in the forums can be shown under the WP post with <?php felbbreplies(); ?>, and it will show people’s avatars if you use Louisedade’s avatar upload plugin.

You can migrate the old synchronisation from bbPress Post and delete the unnecessary tables (this plugin keeps its data in topicmeta, with the key wp_posts).

Hoping to add stuff later, either when I want it myself or when other people want it. I want feedback if you have it! I eat my own dog food and I’m finding it delicious. Will upload as official plugin when I get access.

bbPress Post and this plugin should not be running at the same time, otherwise you’ll get duplicate topics when you blog. If you get some error about a call to member function of a non-object, there’s a good chance adding this in the middle of your bbPress’ config.php file will help:

global $bbdb;

This plugin does need configuring to do anything useful. Head to Options > bbSync and fill things in please.
