Is there anything I can do in the mean time to get those functions to work (apart from a manual query)?

:)

Thanks!

Worst case scenario, you can call your own WP_Query loop and display them yourself.

Whilst viewing a user's profile, I'd like to simply display topics and posts by a given user. I tried lifting this bit of code, but it returns nothing.

Idears?

<?php bbp_set_query_name( 'bbp_user_profile_topics_created' ); ?>
<div id="bbp-author-topics-started" class="bbp-author-topics-started">
	<div class="entry-content">
		<?php if ( bbp_get_user_topics_started() ) :
			bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/pagination', 'topics' );
			bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop',       'topics' );
			bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/pagination', 'topics' );
		else : ?>
			<p><?php bbp_is_user_home() ? _e( 'You have not created any topics.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'This user has not created any topics.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
		<?php endif; ?>
	</div>
</div><!-- #bbp-author-topics-started -->

I'm on bbPress 2.0.2 Do you mean the 2.1 beta?

Does require WordPress 3.3 and latest bbPress for this option to show up.

It's a closed forum so I'm ok with people uploading what they want.

I just can't seem to find the option to turn on tinymce for replies! It's some php magic or is there an actual option in the admin somewhere?

You would then need to grant permission to the different roles that you want to allow to insert images, either via links or the upload system.

There are user role plugins that can help with this which are actually built for WordPress, but work for bbPress just fine.

Keep in mind that it's not usually good practice to allow regular users to upload whatever they want into your media system.

Is there are reasonable solution to allow users to insert images (upload, not just add tag) into their posts?

On BBPress (im using v2.0), that doesn't seem to be the case.

Is it possible to make an adjustment to allow for this? I really don't want to ask my users to use html paragraph tags just to make their posts look tidier. It looks messy with all lines of text with no spaces between them.

And in saying that it seems to work fine on this forum yet not on mines, so it's possible? Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Help truly appreciated! Thx.

Within the file loop-single-reply.php i changed <?php bbp_reply_content(); ?> to <?php echo get_field('intro'); ?> and it displayed the custom field. The other custom fields also worked (main, links).

I'm not sure i'll be able to work out the next step though!

EDIT: I just realised this doesn't work, because replies to the topic wouldn't work. It would use this loop also so replies won't show. I think i'll leave it to the experts.

I'm using a plugin called 'Advanced Custom Fields'. I've created a new group of Custom Fields named 'Articles'. Within this group i have 3 custom fields (intro, main, links). I then use a rule where this Custom Field Group is related to the edit screen of a Post Type equal to Topic.

So now when i go to Topics > New these 3 custom fields appear (i've made it so the default fields do not appear). I then select the forum "Articles" and post. The next problem is inserting these custom fields into the forum template so they actually appear. I have not looked into this step yet, what files need to be edited etc, but i'm sure it is possible.

I also have the forums "Reviews", "Previews", etc, and these posts will require an entirely different set of Custom Fields. The problem is i cannot use the Post Type equal to Topic because it is already used for the Articles Custom Fields.

Basically, how would i go about creating Post Types of Topic-Article, Topic-Review, Topic-Preview etc and have the forums functioning correctly? I'm kinda new at all of this so sorry if i don't explain myself correctly.

Thanks.

It's in a dev environment or I would shoot you guy the URL to check it out....

Glad I went this route from the onset versus other choices to persue.

Yes you are correct. bbPress uses custom post types for 'forum/topic/reply' so there is a separation of data types.

Mixing the output of posts, topics, and replies would require a straightforward custom WordPress loop. It would also probably need a bit of template love to make it look right.

The idea of having a topic automatically created when a new post is created, or vice versa is another topic. Yes it is possible although I am not sure the best way to go about it.

I am gathering the the only way to combine posts and the forum is through forum topics is this correct?

So then (if it is correct) I can assume that forum topics are a custom post type and that I can then display forum topics alongside other posts in the blog yeah ?

The essential idea is to have a registered user be able to create a topic.. which becomes a regular post in the blog (I know I will have to do a little tweaking to get the topics to appear as posts) but that is no the main idea, the main idea is for the reg user to create this topic then other members of the forum discuss this topic.

Conversely, the system admin might create a post .. that the admin wants discussed in the forum .. so I am hoping that these two can intermingle like this ..

The new bbPress plugin uses custom post-types 'topics/replies' so technically topics and replies are already posts.

It's easiest to think of forum topics as simply WordPress posts that are simply styled as forum topics by using special templates.

Of course anything is possible to build.

I know there are plugins available for older stand-alone version of bbPress which won't work. Basically what i'm trying to achieve is, when a new post is posted in the category "reviews", it appears in the forum "reviews" and so forth.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

As the Key Master of bbPress, I have also successfully created two forum categories and several sub-forums (children) where members can post messages...theoretically.

But, I'm experiencing the following issues that I have no clue how to resolve:
1. Signed in as the Key Master, I don't see where I can create a new post
2. As part of registering as a forum user using a different user name, I did not receive an e-mail containing my password. So, I signed into my WordPress Dashboard Users area and assigned my second user name one so I could access my forum with my non-Key Master user name. Not having this forum registration process work without having to sign into WordPress is a problem.
3. No matter which user name I sign into the forum with, when I click on any listing in the Forum Main Theme's area, I get the "The page cannot be found" error message. See: http://wolfetracksproductions.com/fresh_tracks/forum/
4. When I get the "The page cannot be found" error message, the URL repeats the directory where I installed the bbPress software and I'm not clear as to why this is happening: http://wolfetracksproductions.com/fresh_tracks/forum/forum/production
I did install the bbPress software in a folder called "forum" which is a subfolder of my WordPress.org blogging software.

Please help!

Thank you in advance for your kindness.

Thanks in advance for your help with this!

have a nice day.

So the line:

) TYPE = MYISAM DEFAULT CHARACTER SET 'utf8';

becomes:

) ENGINE = MYISAM DEFAULT CHARACTER SET 'utf8';

I hope this helps those who encounter the same problem.

Cheers.
