Hey Rastarr!

Are you talking about the list underneath a forum which is seperated by commas?

If so then you need to specify some arguments to bbp_list_forums like so:

<?php bbp_list_forums( array (
‘before’ => ‘<ul class="bbp-forums-list">’,
‘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,
)); ?>

Give that a go, it needs to be changed inside loop-single-forum.php Good luck!

Hi Martin,

You should not edit the core code.

Inside your template files is a file called loop-single-forum.php, this file calls the bbPress function bbp_list_forums();

You will notice that it is probably not specifying any arguments it just specifies bbp_list_forums();

If you specify arguments for that function like the ones listed above it will then wrap the subforums inside li tags which you can then use CSS to style.

Good luck!

P.s if you want to find out more about how that function works it is inside /bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-template.php but you do not need to edit it.

Seeing how this will format:

$args = array (
        'before'            => '',
        'after'             => '',
        'link_before'       => '',
        'link_after'        => '',
        'count_before'      => '',
        'count_after'       => '',
        'count_sep'         => '',
        'separator'         => '',
        'forum_id'          => '',
        'show_topic_count'  => true,
        'show_reply_count'  => true
);

bbp_list_forums( $args );

Welcome to the life of a developer. Read the error message, and fix what it’s telling you. 🙂

Hint: You’re missing a ‘)’ or something else is in the way of the ‘)’ that’s there.

What code do you have on line 43?

If you paste it and then select the text, then click the {} button just above that should format it as code for you.

It is probably before line 43 where the error lies and is not closing something off, so PHP continues happily until it hits line 43.

Goodness this is so crazy.

Do this a few thousand times a day, and you get used to it very quickly.

@lynq – Maybe give him a function he can drop in his functions.php instead. Then he can just replace the function in his template with yours?

@lynq – A bit overkill, since you could have just passed an array into bbp_list_forums() like you were trying to get him to do yourself. 🙂
