<?php bbp_user_profile_edit_url(); ?>

I already searched for my problem but couldnt find any working solution for my bbpress 2.0.2.

Since there is no direct link for users to change their profile (not good), therefore I am searching to generate a link to put in a header or so.

I only found solutions for older bbpress installations with user id (number) but in the new bbpress it looks like you need userNAMES.

Can somebody paste me a working php code to display a profile-link? Thx!

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/functions.php

or there:

wp-content/themes/genesis/functions.php

?
Is there a special spot in the file ?

Thanks

I tried to add the code in
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/functions.php

But the message still appearing.
"Ce forum contient 5 sujets et 8 réponses, et a été mis à jour par"
(it s in french).

I added the code like that:

add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_forum_description', 'ja_return_blank' ) );
add_filter( 'bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'ja_return_blank' ) );
function ja_return_blank() {
ja_return '';
}
?>

Just before the ?>

I'm using Genesis WordPress Theme.

I also tried to add the code there:
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/functions.php
Same problem a white page.

The only way I have found to make this happen is to edit the core code provided by bbpress.

I am not sure if this is the right way to go, so if someone else can suggest another way then let me know.

Here is what I have done. I replaced the bbp_list_forums function inside forum-template.php and then inside the loops-single-forum I changed the arguments to enable the last poster.

function bbp_list_forums( $args = '' ) {

	// Define used variables
	$output = $sub_forums = $topic_count = $reply_count = $counts = '';
	$i = 0;
	$count = array();

	// Defaults and arguments
	$defaults = array (
		'before'              => '<ul class="bbp-forums">',
		'after'               => '</ul>',
		'link_before'         => '<li class="bbp-forum">',
		'link_after'          => '</li>',
		'count_before'        => ' (',
		'count_after'         => ')',
		'count_sep'           => ', ',
		'separator'           => ', ',
		'forum_id'            => '',
		'show_topic_count'    => true,
		'show_reply_count'    => true,
		'freshness_before'    => '<td class="last-posted-box">',
		'freshness_after'     => '</td>',
		'show_freshness_link' => true,
		'freshness_author_before'    => '<div class="author-box">',
		'freshness_author_after'     => '</div>'
		);
	$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
	extract( $r, EXTR_SKIP );

	// Bail if there are no subforums
	if ( !bbp_get_forum_subforum_count( $forum_id ) )
		return;

	// Loop through forums and create a list
	if ( $sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums( $forum_id ) ) {

		// Total count (for separator)
		$total_subs = count( $sub_forums );
		foreach ( $sub_forums as $sub_forum ) {
			$i++; // Separator count

			// Get forum details
			$count     = array();
			$show_sep  = $total_subs > $i ? $separator : '';
			$permalink = bbp_get_forum_permalink( $sub_forum->ID );
			$title     = bbp_get_forum_title( $sub_forum->ID );

			// Show topic count
			if ( !empty( $show_topic_count ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) )
				$count['topic'] = bbp_get_forum_topic_count( $sub_forum->ID );

			// Show reply count
			if ( !empty( $show_reply_count ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) )
				$count['reply'] = bbp_get_forum_reply_count( $sub_forum->ID );

			// Counts to show
			if ( !empty( $count ) )
				$counts = $count_before . implode( $count_sep, $count ) . $count_after;

			// Show topic count
			if ( !empty( $show_freshness_link ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) {
				$freshness_link = bbp_get_forum_freshness_link( $sub_forum->ID );
				$freshness_author = $freshness_author_before . bbp_get_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id( $sub_forum->ID ), 'size' => 14 ) ) . $freshness_author_after;
				$freshness_link = $freshness_before . $freshness_link . $freshness_author . $freshness_after;
			}

			// Build this sub forums link
			$output .= $link_before . '<a href="' . $permalink . '" class="bbp-forum-link">' . $title . $counts . $freshness_link . '</a>' . $show_sep . $link_after;
		}

		// Output the list
		echo $before . $output . $after;
	}
}

Let me know how you get on, good luck!

i'm working on customizing a bbpress installation with the twentyten bbpress theme and want to set it up so on the main "Forums" page there is a Recent Activity column that displays information about the most recent post -

1. the topic the post was made in
2. the poster
3. the poster's avatar
4. how long ago the post was mad

i have edited the loop-forums.php file to add the additional "Recent Activity" column to to the list of Forums - now I just need to figure out how to pull those pieces of information into the column.

i have created a placeholder column in loops-single-forum.php file where the information will be pulled, i just don't know how to get it in there - i imagine there are existing functions i can call to pull this data, i just don't happen to know what those are or where to find them!

any guidance you could give me would be greatly appreciated. thanks a lot!

This will give you more control over creating a theme which looks like Invision or PHPBB.

You will have to customize your theme as well to make sure it is compatible.

I have been searching for this myself aswell, but couldn't find anything anywhere.

If anyone is interested I modified the bbp_list_forums function to have a flag for freshness (last poster) to be displayed or not.

function bbp_list_forums( $args = '' ) {

	// Define used variables
	$output = $sub_forums = $topic_count = $reply_count = $counts = '';
	$i = 0;
	$count = array();

	// Defaults and arguments
	$defaults = array (
		'before'              => '<ul class="bbp-forums">',
		'after'               => '</ul>',
		'link_before'         => '<li class="bbp-forum">',
		'link_after'          => '</li>',
		'count_before'        => ' (',
		'count_after'         => ')',
		'count_sep'           => ', ',
		'separator'           => ', ',
		'forum_id'            => '',
		'show_topic_count'    => true,
		'show_reply_count'    => true,
		'freshness_before'    => '<td>',
		'freshness_after'     => '</td>',
		'show_freshness_link' => true
	);
	$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
	extract( $r, EXTR_SKIP );

	// Bail if there are no subforums
	if ( !bbp_get_forum_subforum_count( $forum_id ) )
		return;

	// Loop through forums and create a list
	if ( $sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums( $forum_id ) ) {

		// Total count (for separator)
		$total_subs = count( $sub_forums );
		foreach ( $sub_forums as $sub_forum ) {
			$i++; // Separator count

			// Get forum details
			$count     = array();
			$show_sep  = $total_subs > $i ? $separator : '';
			$permalink = bbp_get_forum_permalink( $sub_forum->ID );
			$title     = bbp_get_forum_title( $sub_forum->ID );

			// Show topic count
			if ( !empty( $show_topic_count ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) )
				$count['topic'] = bbp_get_forum_topic_count( $sub_forum->ID );

			// Show reply count
			if ( !empty( $show_reply_count ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) )
				$count['reply'] = bbp_get_forum_reply_count( $sub_forum->ID );

				$counts = $count_before . implode( $count_sep, $count ) . $count_after;

			// Show topic count
			if ( !empty( $show_freshness_link ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) {
				$freshness_link = bbp_get_forum_freshness_link( $sub_forum->ID );
				$freshness_link = $freshness_before . $freshness_link . $freshness_after;
			}

			// Build this sub forums link
			$output .= $link_before . '<a href="' . $permalink . '" class="bbp-forum-link">' . $title . $counts . $freshness_link . '</a>' . $show_sep . $link_after;
		}

		// Output the list
		echo $before . $output . $after;
	}
}

Let me know if you would like any help with I am currently customising my theme to work with it, you will need to add an extra th to your forum tables other you just have a blank in place.

Hope someone finds this helpful!

p.s. you can also specify a before and after in the arguments of bbp_list_forums.

All the best.

I'm currently using custom menu manager and wp-members for plugins. The custom menu manager allows me to set which page links show up in the assigned navigation menu (ie: only "about" and "register" are shown on home page the other page links are hidden), but it doesn't recognize whether the user is logged in or not and the hidden page links are not shown after you've logged in still. With wp-members plugin I have the "members" and "project" pages set to block access unless logged in, but this only effects the page access, the nav link for those pages were still showing up in the main navigation until I used the menu manager plugin which hid them totally not conditionally based on log in status which is what I want.

Is there a php block of code to use or plugin you guys recommend that handles nav link access/visibilty based on log in status? I'm at total loss. Please help me. Visit my site mks76.com/wp/

function disable_our_feeds() {
wp_redirect(get_option('siteurl'));
}
add_action('bbp_feed', 'disable_our_feeds', 1);

I have a new site we are working on and I have a CSS related question for you all. I do have a web developer who is much more experienced with CSS, however, I was hoping you all could at least point me in the right direction so I may have something to show him when we start the design process...

On our main bbPress page, which lists out the active forums, we have a column called "freshness" with either "No Topics" if no one has posted or it has the number of days since the last post and the last author. The problem is that it's pretty visually ugly to see the spacing between "No Topic" and then the spacing between the column which has an actual post with the number of days of freshness and the author.

What I am trying to do is if there is "No Topics" to increase the column size via CSS to make it the same size as the columns who have actual posts with a freshness date and author pic.

I am attaching a screenshot of what I am trying to do. I ran firebug and I see the CSS but I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to modify it.

Thanks!

I have made a custom theme for my site which is working with BuddyPress and I want to add the forum but do not like the current theme of it. So is there like any theme out there for free which only covers the forum as I want to keep my site theme just change the forum theme.

Thanks

function forum_post_thumbnails () {
	add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'forum', 'topic', 'reply', 'post', 'page' ) ); // Posts and Movies
}
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'forum_post_thumbnails');

But it didn't work. Any ideas on how activate it?

Thanks

For any others out there, I integrated bbPress with s2member permissions successfully. I posted my solution on the s2member forums:

http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/a-few-questions-before-i-buy-the-pro-version/#post-13113

Thanks for looking at this.

For anyone else out there, here's my solution for restricting bbPress access using s2member. In short, this checks if the current user has access to the most distant ancestor of the current page. For example:

Level 1 Forum/Category > Subforum1 > Subcategory > Subforum2 > Current Topic

No matter which page they arrive at in the tree, they must have access via s2member to the top-most level. Then it's a simple matter of assigning a ccap to that Forum, or a membership level.

1. Include the following in your functions.php file
2. Include a call to the function in EACH of your bbPress template files BEFORE the template calls for the forum content. Match the HTML structure of the error message to suit your theme. You need to include closing tags for any open divs.
3. Test!


/******* bbPress Forum Access *******/
function checkForumAccess() {
if(get_post_type() == 'forum' OR get_post_type() == 'topic' OR get_post_type() == 'reply') { // check if user is viewing a forum page. If so, continue.

if (!is_page_permitted_by_s2member($int)) { // this is an s2member function. Check if the current user can access the $first_parent, via the stored page/post ID in the $int variable
// here comes your custom error message. Remember to \escape any apostrophes
echo '
<div>
<h1 class="entry-title">Sorry!</h1>
<div class="entry-content">
<p>It looks like you don\'t have access to this forum.</p>
<p>If this is an error and you should have access, please contact us here: (contact URL)
</div>
</div><!--.postWrapper-->
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #contentWrapper -->
</div><!-- #primary -->
';
get_sidebar();
get_footer();
exit; // Important. This prevents the rest of the page (the secure forum content) from displaying
}
}
}


For something like this, have you considered using BuddyPress?

That would allow you to setup different groups (which have forums within them) and configure different permissions to each one, etc.

What's your website's URL?

I installed bbpress and I really like it.

I found that there is an alignment issue that is caused by the return of the bbp_reply_class function for the default theme bbp-twentyten.

I noticed that others were having the same problem.

So I fixed it in my version and would like to submit my bug fix...

How do I go about doing that for this project. I have never contributed a patch to an open source project before but would like to submit this bug fix.

Thanks for your help.

For example, here's a hierarchy:

Home > Forums > Category1 > Subcategory1 > Forum1 > Subforum1 > Topic1

If someone tries to look at Topic1 or any of its parents, I need to check to make sure they have access to Category1.

Access is managed by s2member.

For typical wordpress posts, I attach this filter, run a wp_query, then detach it:

attach_s2member_query_filters(); // only fetch content the user can access

If that query is not empty, then I let the user view the page they're trying to look at. If it is empty, it means they don't have access to any posts and so I redirect them.

But I don't know how bbPress works well enough to figure it out.

It seems I need to

1. Find what the root category is
2. Check if the user can access the root category
3. If so, allow access to whatever they're trying to see. If not, redirect or give an error message.

Any ideas on how I can do this?

I changed bbp_list_forums function () original:

function bbp_list_forums( $args = '' ) {
[...]
// Build this sub forums link
$output .= $link_before . '' . $title . $counts . '' . $show_sep . $link_after;
}

// Output the list
echo $before . $output . $after;
}
}

by:

function bbp_list_forums( $args = '' ) {
[...]
// Build this sub forums link
//$output .= $link_before . '' . $title . $counts . '' . $show_sep . $link_after;
$output[] = array(
'permalink'=>$permalink,
'title'=>$title,
'count'=>$count
);
}

// Output the list
return $output;
}
}

and I returned:

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[permalink] => http://localhost/wpv1/foros/seccion/dota2/torneos-y-competencias
[title] => Torneos y competencias
[count] => Array
(
[topic] => 1
[reply] => 5
)

)


The only drawback is that I can not get the last comment of each forum.

You'll need to create a custom page template for those pages, but there's no easy way to do this unless you have some knowledge about PHP.

For a quick start, you can refer:
