I'm using the BBPress plugin with a Buddypress / WordPress site.

Thanks.

First, thanks a lot for this wonderful plugin :)

Now please forgive my French looking English...
I'm using bbpress on a site where I'd like to show up on some template page a list of recent posts in the forum. get_posts is my friend and that's ok.

But I'd also like to show a nice picture of the categories in which those recent posts where posted. Well, "regular" posts on WP now can have a "Featured Image". And I looked to add this to my forums as well.

And I think I made it
But not sure ^^
Anyway
I added this line in bbp-admin/bbp-forums.php :
add_meta_box('postimagediv', __('Featured Image'), 'post_thumbnail_meta_box', $this->post_type, 'side', 'low');

in function attributes_metabox() (~ l.190)

And it seems to be working.
But as far as I can tell, there's maybe 50% luck this code not doing some very bad things in the same time ^^

PLease advice, if there is a better way to achieve this...

There is a plugin that automatically makes a topic in a specific forum - but I need it to make a new forum.

Of course I can alwaysuse a shortcode and make a new forum and include it in the blog post. But perhaps there is an automatized way, easier way.

Why and what is the benefit of this ? Comments tend to be very unfocused and not very constructive. If you have to make a specific topic you have to focus and be more reflected when writing ...

Also I believe that John James Jacoby has thought about this ....

Anyone who could and would do this ?

Thanks, Jacob

I am writing a post, and want to have a related forum for that post. For this I am using the Posts 2 Posts-plugin by scribu. This is easily and beautifully done by simply typing in the new forum name in a metabox when creating the post. So now I have a connected forum to the post and want display the topics of that forum.

The brilliant plugin is here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/posts-to-posts/

So - I asked Scribu what to do here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-connect-post-to-a-forum-and-fetch-the-topics

And he told me to ask you this for more help:

given a forum id, how I can I display a list of recent topics, with links?

Thanks for anything.

So regarding the BBPress widget "Topic Lists" where by it lists (in my case) the 5 newest topics made on my forum. I have made a custom background image for this, but i get a problem when a topic is a long length and it carries on over to 2 lines.

Basically i need a way to limit these topic lengths just on the widget to something like 10 characters long and then "..." so they will stay on 1 line.

Is there a way to do this quickly and easily? I am very new to this, but i am picking things up fast!

Thanks in advance!

I would like to use BBPress topics for post plugin, but when i install it all the previous wordpress comments i had in the post are not shown anymore. Only the new comments created with the plugin are shown.

Am i using the right plugin ? another one would do what i need ?

If not, Is there a way to keep those comments in my blog posts and also a way to automatically create topics in the forum using all the old wordpress comments ?

Thx for your help.

I'm trying to intercept certain (pre-defined bbPress) queries and filter a few results out. I figured I'll need to register an action on 'bb_query', but I can't seem to modify the actual query.

Say I want to filter all topics by myself from the recent posts view, I registered the following:

add_action('bb_query', 'filter_query');

And then the code:

function filter_query(&$obj) {

		if($obj->type == 'topic' && $obj->query_id == 'get_recent_posts') {

			//ADD "AND topic_author != 'Litso'" to the query here
		}
	}

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

What id goes in this one? Where to find it?
[bbp-single-topic-tag] - Show the topics within a specific tag

Do these work for bp's install?

(1) It's easier than I thought - largely because of the v1 import file.

(2) We need a bbPress equivalent of wp_insert_pages, so we can call a single function, instead of creating pages, then adding lots of metadata - it's not always clear what metadata is required, either.

(3) In addition, it would be even better to ship with a generic import file that plugins could either modify, or plug into.

For what it's worth, here's my very basic Simple Press importer. There's no UI, error-checking is poor, and it doesn't migrate stickies or notifications yet. You also have to update the counts from the Tools menu afterwards. And sometimes it dies through a timeout or OOM, but if it does, it should pick up where it left off. It's a proof of concept, not a finished product, and is intended to encourage other developers, rather than for end-users. But it does work - at least for me. I may or may not develop it further, so if anyone else wants to, feel free!

I’m using the bbpress plugin with buddypress/wordpress install. I installed the bbcode plugin to let users use bbcode in the forums. Everything worked great, but now when you insert a youtube video on the forum with the bbpress post toolbar, I get this error:

YOUTUBE
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/highhob/public_html/ridecbr/wp-content/plugins/bbpress-bbcode/class_bbpress2-bbcode.php:268) in /home/highhob/public_html/ridecbr/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 866

The video DOES POST, but this error comes up first and I need to get it removed and resolved. Also, above any youtube video, the word YOUTUBE shows up.

Please let me know if you can help.

Thank you so much,
-George

What should I use blugin for not accept spamer comments my blog. I use wordpress

Thanks you for interesting

Topic / Voices / Posts / Freshness

I'd like to change that to

Topic / Posts / Author

And include information in the Topic column about what category it's in, as well as include Freshness data in the Author column.

Is there an easy way to do this, or is this all CSS Styling? (Or should I try to find a bbPress theme I like?)

The NEXT question then becomes, um... does anyone know where the bbPress Custom CSS File is? I poked around a bit in FTP and couldn't find it. Do I have to generate it myself and upload it? Do I stick the file in the Prose theme folder, the Genesis theme folder, or the bbPress folder? Or the bbPress Custom CSS File plugin folder?

Many thanks in advance!

in bbp_signature.php

in function bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature & function bbp_topic_content_append_user_signature

change

$signature = bbp_get_user_signature ( $user_id );

to

$signature = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Signature', $user_id );

Then in Buddypress profile fields add a field called Signature.

Bam fixed.

I even went ahead and added a bbcode parser to the plugin so it works real nice. you can download the full fix here

http://vigilsoft.net/bbp-signature_buddypress_edition.zip

Currently supported platforms:
1. bbPress 1x
2. Vbulletin 3x - 4x
3. Invision Power Board

Future platform support already in progress:
1. PHPbb 3x
2. Xenforo

Platforms being considered
1. myBB

Download:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbconverter/

Installation:
1. Upload the bbConverter folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate bbConverter through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Go into your WordPress admin under 'Settings' and choose 'Converter'
4. BACKUP YOUR WORDPRESS DATABASE!
5. Choose the platform you want to convert from and fill in the database information. Click start
6. Once the conversion has completed, visit the WordPress Admin 'Tools' section and click 'Recount'
7. Do NOT deactivate the plugin once it is finished as it is needed for user password management.

Did I forget to mention -- BACKUP YOUR WORDPRESS DATABASE BEFORE STARTING!

Important Note:
It is important to understand that this script is going to be modifying your wordpress database in order to bring over your forums/topics/replies/tags/ and users from your old forum setup. This means we are directly modifying your database which means backup is paramount.

Ok, now that is out of the way, let's get to the plugin itself.

Each Forum sofware, whether bbPress 1x, vbulletin, or Invision Powerboard, has its own configuration file. For example vbulletin calls the file config.php

This is the file which contains your database connection information and you need to save this information in order to fill out the plugin start screen.

Required options:
1. Platform you are converting from - dropdown
2. Database server -- usually localhost
3. Database port -- (example: vbulletin uses 3306)
4. Database Username
5. Database Password
6. Database Name
7. Database Table Prefix -- If you installed your forum software using a prefix enter it here. ( example: vbulletin default uses vb_ ) If there is no prefix, then leave it blank.
8. Rows Limit -- This represents the number of database rows the plugin will convert during a single cycle. I would start this number at 50 or below at first. Keep in mind that forum conversion takes a huge load on the server mysql so if you are on a shared host, you may want to notify your host before running the script.

If you are on a dedicated server with shell access, then I would suggest opening up a terminal window and monitoring the resources. You can change the 'Rows Limit' at any time while the script is running. I have gone as high as 2500 instead of 50 on my servers. ( don't click stop/start as it is not needed to change the limits )

9. Delay time -- Suggested to use 1. This is the number of seconds that the server waits between the conversion cycles. It gives your server a second to catch its breath.

Other Options:
1. Clean -- If something actually goes wrong, then you can choose to clean the database. This will effectively remove all the imported data and allow you to start the conversion over.

2. Restart -- Restart allows you to pick up where the script left off should you have the need to stop and start the process. Example is when your browser or computer window closes during the conversion process. If you close the browser during conversion for any reason, then the conversion stops.

3. Users -- You have the option of choosing not to import your users. If you are using bbPress 1x and have the forums linked to your WordPress install already, then you do not need to import users. Do not check the box. Otherwise you do want to import your users.

Once Import is complete:
1. Recount -- Once everything is finished, then go to the wp-admin/tools and choose recount. This is going to present you with a screen full of checkboxes. Check every box and click submit. This is going to line up all the topic/replies/user posts counts etc.

2. Keep bbConverter plugin active after conversion.

bbConverter has a special script which will allow your users to maintain their old forum username and password. In a nutshell, when a user signs in for the first time after the forums convert, the script will check their old password, validate it, and then use the WordPress system to generate the identical password for the user in the appropriate place. This means that you need to keep bbConverter active until every single user has logged into the forums in order to maintain password management. This is not at all resource intensive, and you won't even notice the plugin running in the background.

That's it your finished.

O, did I mention... BACKUP YOUR WORDPRESS DATABASE FIRST!

Enjoy!

We have activated the BBpress plugin and configured forums on three of our demo sites, but when we attempt to add a new topic in the front end, it displays the following error message:

ERROR: Forum ID is missing.

Here is a link to one the sites' forum landing pages:
http://thestandard.feedmydemo.co.za/forums/

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

The thing I absolutely love about bbPress is the loading time. Sooo much qucker than SP on my test server. That is a VPS. Actually Kunena is quicker loading than SP. That is when I have 1000 posts in Kunena, and only 10 in SP.

But bbPress has almost half the loading time than SP.

But there is something Iack in bbPress:

In the "Forums" layout:
- It currently says: Total topics, total posts and last refreshed for each forum
- Can I also show "Last post title" by "Author" ?
- Is it possible to show an excerpt of the last reply?

In the "Topics" layout:
- It currently says: Total topics, total posts and last refreshed for each forum
- Can I also show "Last post title" by "Author" ?
- Is it possible to show an excerpt of the last reply?

In the "Topic view" (thread):
- Can I somehow get the number of posts per user? (same place where the IP adress shows when I am logged in as admin)

You see : I like to know how many posts a user has made. That tells me of how active they are or not.

I would also like to see:
- Member Since: (date)
- Online status

PS: I have been testing bbPress 2.0.2, and have now installed 2.1 and find that even better :-)

But in the bbPress 2.1 install I have I can not see that function.

Is there a way I can call that function in the template, or a widget I can add to WP?

Need some help from you - we at Tapatalk (the forum app) has finally able to worked on the bbPress support and will be releasing a plugin for bbPress 1.1 soon. We are looking for testers to give it a spin on their forum, if you are a forum owners and has either iPhone/iPad or Android devices, you are welcome to join us!

Just want to gauge the interest - if you are interested, please response to this post and we will figure out the best way to move forward.

For those you don't know what Tapatalk is, check out our website at http://tapatalk.com - Looking forward hearing from you!! :)

Any advice how to automatically replace a string with a different one?
