Just a quick update.
We didn’t have a formal dev chat on 8th or 16th. We’re still pressing forward with 2.4. Also there 2.3.2 was released which had a few updates.
The main thing right now is to keep working on 2.4. Also, if you haven’t already, test jmdodd’s hierarchal replies patch for #2036. For real, lot’s of testing on this. 
Lastly, with the discovery of #2334 (http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2334) there is certainly a possibility of a 2.3.3 release in the near future.
Today’s dev chat was very brief. Since last week jjj pushed 2.3.1 which had a few minor fixes.
Notably it contained a fix for posting code and further refined the new back tick feature ( ` ). There is no need to use <code> or <pre> when posting lines/blocks of code, simply wrap the code in a ` (if you use GitHub or Markdown it is the same concept) and we take care of the rest.
Also in 2.3.1 the “visual tab” of the TinyMCE/fancy editor was turned off by default. The visual tab is great in theory but we’ve seen a slew of issues with it such as code being reformatted, mangled, etc. For users who really need it back (and don’t post code in their forums) they can either use this snippet or this plugin to bring back the visual mode.
Aside from the 2.3.1 release we are just moving forward with the 2.4 tickets.
MZAWeb also talked about looking into getting Alex Mill’s SyntaxHighlighter plugin working with bbPress now that we have the code posting sorted out.
Any plans of moving this blog to http://make.wordpress.org/bbpress/ ?
Since we forgot to whip up a summary of last week’s meeting, I felt compelled to make this week’s thorough
Tickets worth noting
has-patch
Currently there is a whole slew of tickets that already have patches, 14 at the moment. Hopefully in the next week or so these can but updated/committed as needed which will help thin out the 2.4 milestone.
Posting code
Currently there is a bug when posting code in a topic or reply. If you are not an admin and try to post XML/HTML it will be stripped as those tags will not match the white list available for participants. We’re going to look at what can be done to escape text within <code> blocks before it’s processed by kses. Alex Mills’ SyntaxHighlighter should be a good place to start and we might be able to emulate much of the process based on what he does in his plugin.
Nice chat , about SyntaxHighlighter it doesn’t support the bbPress by default, but I use it in our forums ar-wp.com with some hacks and no-proplems for now. I feel that I can help you on that
Just a reminder. The WP dev chat time was changed as and a result we have updated ours as well. The bbPress weekly dev chat will now be (back) at 21:00 UTC (4pm central).
bbPress 2.3 is out! Let’s take a few days off and talk on Wednesday about 2.4.
Few things for 2.4:
Here’s the 2.4 milestone for your perusal.
How about making “Topics for Posts” a core feature? A lot of us have been salivating over that one ever since you first teased it on testbp.org.
David Dean has been doing a great job keeping his plugin up to date and supported, but it’d be so cool to have this neat feature properly standardized. VanillaForum has been sporting this functionality for a while and you can see it used to great effect on sites like the PA Report. I’d say it’s one of their last remaining edges over bbPress.
A slot in GSoC for bbPress would be great, good luck
p.s. it looks like you’re using it on bbpress.org alredy, is that right?
I hacked it in by turning off comments and putting the single-topic shortcode at the bottom of the post after a more-tag.
I think it’s a great core feature, and wouldn’t be too difficult to do (especially since there’s a plugin out there already.)
Great! I gave David Dean a nudge about this, hopefully he’ll be in touch, maybe set up an enhancement ticket to bounce ideas around in.
Nice! DD is a great guy.
Oh and what about “Quick quotes for replies“? That should be a simple one. If you think it could make it into core I can ping the developer of the Direct Quotes plugin.
Ah it’s in the 2.4 milestone. Question still stands though, should I ask the dev I know to pitch in, or is someone else already on it?
Looks like no one else is on it right now.
Neat. Let’s talk about it then.
Hey I’m the developer of the mentioned plugin.
It would be a great honor to contribute something to bbPress, so if you want, you can integrate it.
Awesome! Stop by the dev chat today in IRC!
I was very busy at the university yesterday, I’ll try to visit the chat today.
bbPress 2.3 release is imminent. Last chance to sneak anything in!
bbPress 2.3 RC1 has now been released
You can check out the finer details from @JohnJamesJacoby on the bbPress blog here.
It would be great if you could:
If you find a bug please post a ticket http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/
We started of in the new #bbpress-dev dedicated channel for core talk albeit a little later than normal due to a schedule conflict with #wordpress-dev, more on that later.
It was a rather quiet chat this week as there were only three of us, @johnjamesjacoby, @jmdodd and myself @netweb. As ‘rez-bot’ had not yet joined #bbpress-dev there’s no irc log this week, here’s the highlights.
The weekly #wordpress-dev IRC chats are also now scheduled Wednesday’s @ 21:00 UTC (previously it was 20:00 UTC). What are your thoughts on times? Push it back an hour?
Cheers guys! You are stars.
wrt images in topics+replies, I don’t have an opinion on default on or off, though personally I would switch it on in my forums. I would like to request that the on/off toggle should be provided via admin UI, or at the very least via wp-config statement.
P.S. Any plans of moving bbpdevel to http://make.wordpress.org/bbpress ?
+1 to bbpress on Make.
Updated bbPress.org to latest trunk, which includes some tweaks to posting code, and some preliminary forum searching abilities (courtesy of jmdodd.)
I’ll be tweaking the site templates and CSS to make it fit the site more appropriately.
We’re going to be taking a break from our weekly dev chats for a few weeks to enjoy the holidays. We’ll pick up things again on Wednesday January 2nd, 2013.
The new search feature (#1575) is in trunk so feel free to have some fun with that. Hope everyone has a great Festivus
