   bbPortal 1.2 is ready to download. You can download it here: http://www.bbportal.org/bb-downloads/bbportal1.2.zip

   Changelog:
   - Made bbPortal compatible with bbPress 8.0 +
   - Rewritten most part of the code and fixed some small bugs
   - Now using the bb_get_option API instead of creating a new database table
   - Moved the plugin options in the admin area from "Content" to "Portal Management" in the main admin menubar
   - bbPortal now uses the bbMenu plugin for its menu's. This plugin is added into the .zip file
   - Fixed the form processing bug (thanks to Sam Bauers)

   Still to do:
   - Fix the hyperlink bug
   - Better CSS for the left and rightbars
   - Widgets
   - Being able to create new pages

   "If you dont realy need the menu part, but want to play/use the portal only, you can create a clean php file naming it bbmenu.php and put in a function called: get_bbmenu(). Just make sure this function does nothing at all. Upload it to your plugin directory and you can use the portal plugin. The portal plugin checks if this functions excist in order to continue, but in this stage it doesn't realy need the bbmenu plugin yet (it is usable without it). Only thing is you won't have a nice menu on your portal page then..."

   This didn't work for me.

   Can you explain this in more detail please Null?

   get_bbmenu is used to get the data from the db for the menu. There is an easier way to skip this bbmenu check:

   Open bbportal.php

   Around line 40 find:
   // Check if the bbMenu plugin is installed

   From this point untill: // Show form (around line 93) you can delete/quote out the text/lines.

   This should fix the menu check and you wont even have to install the bbmenu plugin anymore aswell.

   NOTE: This is not tested
   NOTE2: This will deactivate the menu and you should remove the lines added in the header.php aswell.

   I'm currently experimenting with a fix for this error. But I have very little time at the moment. Got my job, have to move soon (so no internet for a while?) and on top of that, finish my school paper :S

   Future plans:
   - Fix the damn bug
   - Intergrate the menu plugin, so no seperate installation needed
   - use jQuery (after bbPress 1.0 is launched)
   - add pages to your portal (like WP has, with reply function?)
   - widgets (long term)

   Hi Null,

   I get these errors now.

   bbPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 0,' at line 1]
   SELECT * FROM bb_topics WHERE forum_id = ORDER BY topic_time DESC LIMIT 0,

   Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /xxxxx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxx/mike/bb/bb-templates/kakumei/portal-page.php on line 25
   

   Also, http://www.mpm.org.au/mike/bb/ still defaults to the actual forum and not to the portal page - how do I fix that?

   Problem 1:
   You have to fill in a total nr of topics to show on the portal page. Currently, you'll have to do this everytime you press submit in the bbportal admin area.

   Problem 2:
   See: http://www.bbportal.org/topic.php?id=8&page

    Hi Null,

    Problem 2 solved, thanks.

    Problem 1 - where do I set this? In admin/portal management I just get "nothing to see here".
