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

I see this on http://de.forums.wordpress.com and I know this is not the latest version running there.

Thank you for hoping with me ... ;-)

But again, YOUR question was regarding the http://de.forums.wordpress.com

I am a fresh user of bbPress, but as far as I can see that forum us the "old" stand alone version of the bbPress. At least the code says so in the RSS generator:

<!-- generator="bbPress/1.1-alpha-2539" -->`

In that case I am not the one that can help. I don't even know who is leading the bbPress project :-)

Hope you get the help you need from others here!

However I believe that is the correct place to alter the RSS feed :-)

Here is the code in syntax:

// Display the feed
	header( 'Content-Type: text/xml; charset=' . get_option( 'blog_charset' ), true );
	header( 'Status: 200 OK' );
	echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="' . get_option( 'blog_charset' ) . '"?' . '>'; ?>

	<rss version="2.0"
		xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
		xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"
		xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
		xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_feed' ); ?>
	>

	<channel>

		<title><?php bloginfo_rss( 'name' ); ?> » <?php _e( 'All Topics', 'bbpress' ); ?></title>
		<atom:link href="<?php self_link(); ?>" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />
		<link><?php self_link(); ?></link>
		<description><?php //?></description>
		<pubDate><?php echo mysql2date( 'D, d M Y H:i:s O', '', false ); ?></pubDate>
		<generator>http://bbpress.org/?v=<?php bbp_version(); ?></generator>
		<language><?php echo get_option( 'rss_language' ); ?></language>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_feed_head' ); ?>

I can't alter any files, because I am requesting this change for an existing WP.com support forum, for which I am the moderator ( but not admin!). And after requesting it elsewhere, they told me to come here in this forum and put my request in this forum ...

BTW, I think you found just the title for the HTML page and not the rss feed.

I found this code in the bbp-topic-functions.php:
(line 2994)
/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-topic-functions.php

<title><?php bloginfo_rss( 'name' ); ?> » <?php _e( 'All Topics', 'bbpress' ); ?></title>

If you alter that you could probably get the RSS title to say whatever you'd like.

I also found this:
/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-functions.php

line 1372

<title><?php bloginfo_rss('name'); echo $title; ?></title>

I have ony 2 days of experience with bbPress, but this might help you...?

And it is redundant, because there is a author field which I can see in my feed reader.

Maybe you can change this to “(title) – (author)” (or similar) …

I see this on http://de.forums.wordpress.com and I know this is not the latest version running there. So if this is changed in the latest version, just tell me!

Thanks in Advance!

Just tried this and it works.

In case it helps anyone else, the way to remove the sidebar from BBP topic pages would be using something like this in your page.php file:

<?php if(!bbp_is_single_topic()) { get_sidebar(); }; ?>

bbPress's template logic works almost identically to the way WordPress's works, it just needs to do all the same things that WordPress does for specialized content. Just like WordPress has queries and conditions for posts, pages, categories, and tags, bbPress has them for forums, topics, replies, users, topic views, and front end posting and editing.

In many ways, bbPress feels more complex because it is more complex. But, I can assure you, it's built to the same standard and uses the same conventions as WordPress does.

However, that doesn't seem to work for me - the markup still seems to be driven from page.php.

Anyone know how to get different layouts for different pages in BBP?

I agree it is all pretty confusing to me too ;)

I have been digging through the files, but I am unable to find out what file actually outputs this, I have a understanding level of php, so I should be able to edit it, if I could just find it.

Thanks

I doubt it's 2+ because what your saying doesn't make any sense - is it 1.x?

Please read my first post, i would like to fetch RSS feeds to display in the sidebar of my BBPress forum and not the WordPress sidebar.

I'm using version 1.0.3

"display the latest posts from different external blogs in my BBPress sidebar?"

1 - Go to Appearance > Widgets
2 - Drag RSS widget to the sidebar you are using with the forums
3 - Enter RSS URL

That should be all there is to it...

How can i display this on the forum?

Thanks.

There is an RSS widget built into WordPress, so I'm not sure I understand the problem - you should be able to just use it.

Is there a way or plugin that fetches an RSS feed from external websites so that i can display the latest posts from different external blogs in my BBPress sidebar?

Thanks!

Is there any plan to integrate these someday?

Isn't there a place/file where I could replace the string "translatable" direct on the code?

Even if I need to do this every time plugin updates itself, I guess it's easier than install and generate a new translating file...

[]'s!

I'm running bbPress 2.1 (plugin) and put on my blog's sidebar an RSS parser from forum. Problem is: when it gets an answer, the label starts with "Anwser to: Topic title" — in my case, since my site is Portuguese written, "Responder a: Topic title".

I want to change this "Responder a:" for something shorter, like "Re:". Do you guys have any idea where I change this behavior?

[]'s!

What I wanted to do was have a selection of forum feeds (not all) which could post to Twitter via RSS. The problem was, it would have 'reply to:' posts being fed to Twitter too.

To solve the issue, I opened up Y!Pipes and messed around.

I took the RSS feed from each board (4 in total) and added their RSS feeds to the 'Fetch Feed' module.

Then, I added a 'Sort' module, and set it to
Sort by > "item.pubDate" > Descending

That fed into a Filter module, which I set to block any instance of the term 'reply to' in the item.title.

Saved the pipe, and now there's an RSS feed of the four boards I need - combined.

If anyone needs to do similar, it's possible to do it with single RSS feeds and customise them this way to show only new forum threads. Ideal for posting to Twitter or just as an RSS feed for certain boards on your forum (without the replies appearing too).
