Because I use two shortcode :
[bbp-forum-index]
[bbp-topic-index]

And I have breadcrumbs for forum and an other for topic. Maybe make a shortcode like this is t possible ?

[bbp-topic-index breadcrumbs=false]

And are they way to say number topics to display ?

thx for help ! :)

pick a theme that supports menus

1)create a page
2)add page to menu
3)select menu as active
4)add all of the shortcodes from the shortcode sticky thread to your newly created page
5)take out the shortcodes you do not require

Thats the way I do it at least.

@bbpress looks like you have been spammed!

Some pages are working, and some pages are not visible...

I've tried some shortcodes, but nothing logical....

@folgerj : i've seen your forum. Can you please help me to configure mine too?

I think your code should read:

[bbp-single-forum id=36]

instead of:

[bbp-single-forum id=$Introduction]

I hope this helps...

The if 'forum' == bit will always equal true, so you can remove it.

The area in question is the meta data for the post that is situated just below the featured slider. You'll see an area that reads "posted in". It should say "posted in General Discussion", rather than "posted in whatever the topic title is"

could this have something to do with it? Shouldn't the permalink look like..

http://test.website.com/forum-title/topic-title ?

Honestly I'm kinda baffled. even bbp_get_topic_forum_title only pulls the topic title.

The idea is to display the forum title like categories are displayed in wordpress.

To do this I'm using breadcrumbs, so my code looks like..

<?php $show_sep = false; ?>
			<?php if ( 'forum' == bbp_get_forum_post_type() ) : ?>
			<?php
				$breadcrumbs = '<a href="' . bbp_get_forum_permalink( $parent->ID ) . '">' . bbp_get_forum_title( $parent->ID ) . '</a>';
                                if ( $breadcrumbs ) :
			?>
			<span class="cat-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted in</span> %2$s ' ),'', $breadcrumbs);
				$show_sep = true; ?>
			</span>
			<?php endif; // End if $breadcrumbs ?>

It's not working, it's displaying the topic title instead. In fact I went through several variations of this, several of them not using breadcrumbs, but every time I would use bbp_get_forum_title, or bbp_get_topic_forum_title, and I just couldn't get it to work.

I'm wondering if there is something wrong with my code, or if anyone knows any other reason why bbp_get_forum_title would display the topic title instead.

I really just started learning all this stuff recently, so I could really use a hint or two..

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Go to Forums on Dashboard.
Hover the mouse over the title of the forum, and a link comes up at the bottom of the page. (In Opera it does, anyway)

e.g. http://pour-your-heart-out.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=36&action=edit

in this case, $forum_id is 36
you don't use the $

The same principle works with the rest. I know it says "post=36" but I guess that's just how wordpress stores stuff.

If I add a topic through the WP dashboard it creates this wierd "comments are closed" thing, but if I add them directly through the blog it seems to work...

Strange.

I am still struggling to get the topics to work. When I click on the topic it has my description an then it says "Comments are closed." and there is no way to post anything...

Have a look here: http://urbanbeeguild.org.au/?page_id=227

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated :)

Thanks,

I tried to copy the permalink but this wasn't it.

Since WordPress doesn't have 'section specific widgets' neither does bbPress. Some people want full-width forums, others do not. bbPress comes with some examples on how you can make some of these things happen, but it doesn't yet work for 100% of all themes and sites all the time.

Really what bbPress needs is for someone (other than me) to start developing themes and widgets for it. Until that happens, some things will remain balkanized my design to appeal to the greater 80% of WordPress users.

In addition, having someone contributing code patches and new features is also helpful. For a while Gautam was able to consistently help, and Jared helped with Genesis integration. If someone wants to dream up new features and code them under my tutelage, I'm happy to help someone else get things done.

For instance, using the shortcodes scenario to list forums in a regular wp page is fine, but then when you click any of the forums the bbpress template is used instead, so any sidebar content which might have been added like logins, topics etc needs to be placed into the bbpress templates as well.

any advice on how to set it up so we can have a forums home, with all the bbpress widgets in the sidebar, and then maintain those throughout the forums.

Also off the bat the homepage of the forums doesn't even have login or register buttons.

Finding some of the simple things you would expect missing.

I really glad that I dont need to worry anymore about those extra sub slugs.

Thanks for clarifying.

Did Matt tell you this directly?

Yes, It does have an effect to be one category deeper (at least according to Matt Cutts from Google).

So, yes please, I want to generate the URL's without any additional sub-category... and Yes, I would not mind if i had something like ../forums/general generated.

Would be great if you could tell me how to take this extra subdirectory layer off in bbpress ?

If you have a "General" forum, i.e. at /forums/general , wouldn't you rather avoid the confusion if a user starts a thread called "general"? I actually don't know what would happen in this scenario...
