How will Buddypress Forums change with 1.3 and the new bbPress?

    bbPress is being re-written from the ground up – which is a wonderful thing. And, it sounds like the BP crew is working on seamless integration with BP 1.3.

    What changes can we expect?

    Will there be any extra goodies included (like attachments or components of Rich’s Forum Extras)?

    Will there finally be a tag cloud that shows only tags from that group or forum (instead of all tags)?

    Will forum discussion be integrated into Profile Pages at all? For example, having a “My Discussions” link on the sub-nav.

    Will there be an option for guest/anonymous posting?

    Finally, will forums still be group-dependent? Or will there be an option to associate with a group or not?

    As much as I am aware, we’ve put in some ground work for the bbPress plugin, but I would not expect to see it supported in BuddyPress until bbPress plugin has had its first release and a bit of time in the wild. I do not think this will happen in time for 1.3.

    Extra goodies? None planned. What do you think would apply well to all BuddyPress sites?

    I don’t know about a forum/group specific tag cloud, why not leave a suggestion on https://trac.buddypress.org/ ?

    Guest/anonymous posting requires support in bbPress. I think it has it in the plugin now, but no plans have been made for how that might fit into BuddyPress.

    I am pretty sure John added to BuddyPress 1.3/trunk a view somewhere that shows a user’s forum posts. I can’t remember where it is, and I can’t take a look at the moment.

    Forums will be moving away from being group dependant, but I’m not sure if this is happening in 1.3 or 1.4.

    Makes sense. Sounds like we’re another 6-12 months off then. Ugh.
