As mentioned when you agreed to help (Thanks!) with the alpha testing, you will have to get the latest updates to 5.0 from our SVN repository… You should already be familiar with SVN and probably have your favorite SVN client. If not, for the PC, I would recommend Tortoise SVN.
As to the SVN repo, you will have read access only. So you will not be able to make any changes. Please report any issues in the 5.0 alpha testing forums.
You can access the 5.0 SVN core code repo via the following URL:
http://svn.simple-press.com/trunk
additionally, if you want to get the current set of themes and plugins that we have in 5.0, you should check out these repos:
http://svn.simple-press.com/plugins
http://svn.simple-press.com/templates
and for the themes (templates repo), please ignore the iforum theme... it is far from a reality at this point...
nominally, they would be check out to wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins and wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes, but that is controllable in your forum – wp integration – storage locations admin panel…
I would recommend you do an 'svn update' on all three repos on a daily or near daily basis.
Please let us know if you have any issues or questions…

Wondering what the directory structure is for trunk, plugins, and templates within wordpress?
I currently have it as:
wp-content/plugins/simple-press <--this is where I have the trunk file
and logically...
wp-content/plugins/simple-press/forum-plugins <--this is where I have the plugins
wp-content/plugins/simple-press/forum-themes <--this is where I have the themes

Basic tips, the the trunk folder needs to be named to "simple-press", you should not have "/plugins/simple-press/trunk".
If you have ssh, you should run (from wp-plugins):
svn co http://svn.simple-press.com/trunk simple-press
Then it is recommended that the themes and plugins are stored in wp-content (as states right above)
svn co http://svn.simple-press.com/plugins forum-plugins
svn co http://svn.simple-press.com/templates forum-themes
Then to update these folders, just cd into them and run: svn up.
If you want to remove all your local edits, you can run this too: svn revert -R *

I would just add that you can locate 'themes' and 'plugins' wherever you like but I would strongly recommend to keep them out of the WP plugins folder. As cubehouse says - we put them by default under wp-content.
The import thing is that when you visit the forum admin > integration > Storage Locations, the location of the folders must be correct there as that is where SP will look for them.

OK I have installed Tortoise SVN and I have successfully got the files and I am running the forum software on a test site, not locally. I want some other users to be able to break things. This entails updating via SVN and then using an ftp program to update, this is obviously not ideal.
I did not initially have SSH for the domain in question but now I do. I can start a session with PuTTY and I have created the necessary private and and public keys.
What do I need to do to use tortoise SVN over SSH. Sorry for the newbie question but I have never had to do this before.

you dont use tortoise svn... you just use plain svn...
so the basic command you will want is
svn update
or
svn checkout
complete reference: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en.....index.html
but since you are remote and access limited, not all commands will work...
also, will require you to have svn installed on server, but usually is...
and I hope this is still a test site... this code is still alpha and not fully tested... as you know, there are bugs and will be bugs... and how upgrades for the current live sites works may change between now and the release...
make sure this is NOT a production site as we reiterated multiple times... I know you said test site, just making sure...

It is a test site and utterly unimportant, its not even on the same server as the real site but on some independent web space that I have.
I have svn working but the repository is on my local machine and I don't want it there, I want it on the server that hosts the test site. I have SSH working, I can log in using PuTTY but I have no idea how to make SVN work in this way and reading the help files is not being er helpful. The help all seems geared for local repositories, perhaps I am looking in the wrong place?
At the moment I update and have to upload the whole lot to the remote site via ftp, it's a rubbish way of working!
So how can I start to use svn and ssh to this remote site?

I am going to have to ask Steve to advise on this as I am out of my depth when it comes to svn on the server! He was unavailable last night or I am sure he would have responded.
Meanwhile I have put what I am really hoping is a fix for the post-save 'headers already sent' issue (which I don't get on my test sites!). Next time you update please do let me know if it fixes the issue - thanks.

I will do, I am asking my work IT guru how to achieve the SVN and SSH issue at which point I will update and get back to you. Assuming that he is able to get it all working that is. Failing that I will do the update via ftp when I get home.
You're both doing a fantastic job lads.

Conrad... I've kinda forgotten how Putty behaves, but can't you just cd into wp-content/plugins and run the command above that Cubehouse posted? Then cd back into wp-content and run the other two for forum-plugins and forum-themes.
