How do I show a forum using php, without using do_shortcode(); ?

Also, how can I start a new loop to fetch a specific forum's contents? I think it's with BB_Query, but I can't figure out the syntax.

Thanks in advance,

Kenny

I'm going to investigate this over the next week or so and will post back if I find anything.

In the role of a webmaster I can view and edit everything in the forum. During the first tests I changed the visibility to private and back. As a contributor I can only post a new entry. But I can't even view my own posts. This was on the first day. I deactivated bbpress.

Today I reactivated bbpress. Forums and posts seemed to have gone. I set up a new forum and moved the old posts (topics) to it. With/without allowing anonymus posting everything worked fine for the contributor's role.

But after setting the visibility to "private" (later to "hidden") and than back to "public" the same error occurs: contributors can see the forum from the outside but none of the topics/posts.

Anonymous posting is not allowed, visibility is public

We need to have an internal forum for the contributors to discuss our articles before publishing them.

Who can help? Thanks in advance

What's your website's URL?

thanks!

Unfortunately, it seems that the forums are showing up, but when a user clicks on the Topic of any forum, it says no topics are found. As an admin, the topics are visible to me.

Also, if we go in and add a topic, all the topics are then visible to users, but eventually disappear again. It's like they're resetting or something.

We're using Wishlist Member as well and I've made sure that none of the content is hidden.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I deactivated all of my plugins by accident trying to hunt down a piece of code inside a custom plugin.

This caused my forum to disappear and continually 404, although everything was still there.

By changing my Permalinks and then changing them back to what they were originally this issue is fixed.

Good luck to anyone who reads this!

Settings > Permalinks > Save (Try just saving first, if that doesn't work, then change them, save them and then change them and save them again).

1) I installed the WP-prettyPhoto plugin (maybe this is not necesary, but I think I need it )

2) activate the bbpress-login widget by putting it in the sidebar (in the WP admin section)

3) I addded this script to my sidebar.php: (in my case in wp-content/themes/inove/)

<script type="text/javascript">
function user_avatar_refresh_image(img){
jQuery('#user-avatar-display-image').html(img);
}
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var swrAjax = {
ajaxurl: "http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php"
};
</script>


4) add jquery to the head section:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js?ver=1.3.2"></script>

5) I added these lines to wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-core-widgets.php, just
after "<?php else : ?>" (line 132):
(this will show the avatar when the user is logged in)

<div id="user-avatar-display" >
<p id="user-avatar-display-image"><?php echo get_avatar( bbp_get_current_user_id(), '100' ); ?></p>
</div>

<?php
echo 'Upload avatar
';


You have to configure the css for a nice layout.

I think BBPress is an excellent plugin but I think it should provide a way members can upload avatars.

How do you upload avatars in this actual BBPress forum? Is there an option in profile edit?

Many thanks

It's more of a UI and face-of-the-site issue...

Regarding the plugins, I do hope someone will take a crack at them soon :-)

OC2PS - when are we going to start seeing some of these plugins you keep suggesting? :)

Thanks once again!

EOL is end of line. Different OS uses different codes for EOL, we have Windows format, Mac format and Unix format. often is possible that is you save the text file with windows format it will look nice under windows os but may appear as a single long line for linux.

notepad++ can help with that and correct your problem. you introduced the problem as soon as you edited the file and saved it with windows EOL

I do have a Linux host... a CentOS based VPS (managed). Beyond that, I'm afraid that your suggestion is Greek to me. I don't really know anything about editing the EOL Conversion (or what it is).

However, I can safely say that I've experienced my fair share of php errors on this server, and previous ones have not been listed as "line 1". Also, aside from this comment form showing up, my whole install of wordpress and buddypress/bbPress works just fine, so I'm not sure I understand why changing this line would be a particular problem anyway... maybe it's just a syntax error?

But are you saying that you don't see any obvious problem with the code I pasted above?

Many Thanks,
Matthew

otherwise it may appear for linux that all text is on line 1, hence the error

<?php

?>

to this:

<?php

?>

also make sure that you do not mix " with ' anywhere

it is not that complicated to fix it. if you can't just paste the code here including the surrounding lines so I can see it.
