You probably were marked, or at least your post was marked, as spam, as coming from a bozo. This is not an insult. It is the actual term that bbPress applies to suspected spammers. This has happened to me twice in the past.

If this happens again, or seems permanent, you should contact Andy or jjj as whenever I log into bbPress admin, it does not show me the “bozo” members. So, I have no way of changing the status.

But, since you are obviously posting right now, the issue was more than likely the system marking that particular post as probable spam. This is just a hunch.

Agreed on all counts. But I see the activity stream as a separate, isolated module of discussion that doesn’t belong in blog comments or post replies. Since that’s my view, the topic of sync’ing them together doesn’t appeal to me. Nevermind the fact that bbPress doesn’t support threaded topics and post replies out of the box in the first place.

Maybe I should just leave this topic and never look back.

And if I could reply to only Jeff right now, I would say T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM!

But since I can’t I just forked this conversation in a totally new direction! How’s that for activity.

I think Jeff is right, but it isn’t feasible since the queries it would take to pull that off would be astronomical. The reason this is an activity cache table is because it is where activity is stored in an easier to gather fashion. Maybe cache is the wrong word, but it’s doing what it says by being an easier way to combine other queries into one easy to get, light on its feet query of site wide activity.

The only other solution would be to branch activity comments off into a separate table, but that would require a query for each group of comments, instead of just grabbing all of what’s relevant and dumping it out.

Back to the original topic I suppose, but I think the talking back and forth between the components isn’t really the job of the core to do. The activity stream is a functional component of BuddyPress, and BuddyPress can exist without blogs, comments, and forums. In that scenario activity commenting doesn’t matter because there’s nothing to sync with. If someone needs to sync that data, they can make a plugin to do it, just like someone made a plugin to sync bbPress replies to blog posts and vice versa.

@Midwestbonsai

Why don’t you use the original version of the plugin for bbPress?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/

Will this work with an external install of bbpress?

I started a new thread to pick up where this one left off now that the new SWA has tweaked the model -> https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/new-12-swa-and-blogforum-syncing-feedback-needed

I will add one parting thought here-> IMHO, BP was a welcome change from the old bbPress way which tossed every topic imaginable into a big collection of forum topics. Groups are a way to aggregate subjects and such. I for one am glad there is no giant site wide forum that I have to wade through to find what I want. That’s why I join groups. I have the SWA to browse the entire site full of activity. Bonus

Yes.

Well this discussion seems to have covered the topic well, but I wanted to voice my support of the idea of having a site wide forum with its own categories seperate from Groups.

Such forum can act as support and general discussion for the site away from the groups.

Would it be feasable to have a second bbPress install and use that for the site wide forum, or would that conflict with the bbPress already shipped due to tables and credentials?

I’ve also been working on integrating a WYSIWYG editor for BP as well (but with image upload functionality).

Have tried nicEdit and DSRTE, but I’ve run into various issues with both, which is why I haven’t released it.

Xevo, tried to use jwysiwyg on another project a couple months back, but the last version then was from January 09 and didn’t play nice with the newest jQuery version. A quick look just now showed that it hasn’t changed. Haven’t had a look at the trunk though…

Lazy is nice. I’m looking forward to see if they lazy part gets satisfied.

gerikg — this works! thanks!!

now, if anyone could share how to make sure facebook avatar is showing up in bbpress (using BP-facebook connect) /

The group component can be disabled; but how to only allow PRIVATE GROUPS where the groups forums are also not created in bbpress (and visible) ?

Edit: Just noticed that there is a plugin to do this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bpgroups/

This works ok for me in bbpress front-end. however in bbpress admin, i actually had to manually add all the referenced #wp-admin css style in bb-admin/style.css in order to make this works.

@dwpers you can still make a post as sticky from Individual group->forums, but not the categories currently.

I have tinymce with fairly minimal options enabled on a current site but it’s very very hacky code. I’m planning on turning it into a plugin (along with some filters to sort out the raw html problem) but if something else becomes available before I get round to doing it, the lazy part of me is more than happy :p

New topics or post replies are made within the BP Groups that you’ve enabled bbPress forums.

Bpdev (nicola) is a bit behind with development, as far as I know. But he’s been active again lately so it might work again with the buddypress 1.2 release.

I’m planning on getting this to work with my bbpress forum and inline blog editor. Don’t really need to load that huge wysiwyg editor from wordpress admin.

Wow, quick and positive answer! Nice to see you’re working on it.
