So, small update from me:

Unfortunately other priorities came up with my client, so i don’t expect to be able to put much time into developing. This was decided this yesterday and i am still considering implementing the feature in my free time.

[_az_]

There are many plugins that should do the trick.

Just search for wp login redirect or maybe also add bbpress to the search terms.

@siparker thanks for posting the link to the Permalinks with id plugin. I have looked into it and the logic for adding text to a permalink seems less complicated than the logic for replacing parts of the permalink.

However, good news may be: it is possible that i will work on that feature for a client.

Probably not the full scope of https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2258 but it may be a good start.

If this is decided, then i’d like to propose its development on github as an public bbpress-plugin and i’d happily collaborate with other devs on the issue.

Can you please provide more information how to use one of those two plugins to create a “default” structure in a sub-forum that is added manually at some point after installation?

It seems those plugins are suitable for creating/importing backups of WordPress content from one instance to another.

[_az_]

I think #2258 is pretty complex to implement but possible. Might take some days to do it i guess.

Here is my workaround:

in functions.php:

/**
 * for nicer permalinks:
 * 
 * from: forums/forum/name -> to forum/name
 * 
 * also required rewrite rules below in myThemeName_addRewriteRules
 */
function myThemeName_bbp_get_forum_permalink_withoutRootSlug() {
	return preg_replace( '/(' . bbp_get_root_slug() . '\/)/', '', bbp_get_forum_permalink()); 
}

function myThemeName_addRewriteRules() {
	/**
	 * add rewrite rules for bbpress
	 */
	
	// use this to test instead of clicking Save Changes in Settings -> Permalinks
	// global $wp_rewrite;
	// $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();

	add_rewrite_endpoint(get_option('_bbp_forum_slug'), EP_ROOT);
	add_rewrite_rule('^'. get_option('_bbp_forum_slug') . '/(.*)?','index.php?post_type=forum&name=$matches[1]');
}
add_action('init', 'myThemeName_addRewriteRules');

Replacement in my custom loop-single-forum.php:
<a href="<?php echo myThemeName_bbp_get_forum_permalink_withoutRootSlug(); ?>">

Default bbpress templates use it at more places than my theme:

Found 5 matches of bbp_(get_)?forum_permalink in 4 files.	
loop-search-forum.php	
		<a href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>" class="bbp-forum-permalink">#<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?></a>      [position 18:18]

loop-single-forum.php	
		<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>      [position 32:42]	
loop-single-topic.php	
				<span class="bbp-topic-started-in"><?php printf( __( 'in: <a href="%1$s">%2$s</a>', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_forum_permalink( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ), bbp_get_forum_title( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ) ); ?></span>      [position 68:102]

Update: Seems that the breadcrumbs need a hack too… 🙂

[_az_]

Thanks for pointing that out. I think i should make more use of bbp_parse_args().

bbp_create_initial_content() seems to be a good idea for deploying initial content, but i needed something more flexible, which can be used in the Dashboard. E.g. for deploying a default structure, given in said JSON File to a newly created Forum.

[_az_]

In case anyone stumbles upon this.

I wrote a plugin to generate topics and forums from a JSON File but it is still somehow specific to a certain project i am working on.

The effort to make it more generic is not that huge, so drop me a line and i will consider doing that and release it on github.

[_az_]

update: replace ‘include’ with ‘post__in’ and then its a loop just with super-stickies

[_az_]

Guess it is only an issue, when autoload is not working as expected.

[_az_]

Got it sorted out. Somehow my installation was missing the autoload column(?!) and by adding that i reduced the amount of queries.

[_az_]

There is a function: bbp_get_super_stickies() which is used inside the function bbp_has_topics(). This function basically returns a list of Post IDs from the wp_options table from a row with the key: “_bbp_super_sticky_topics” or “_bbp_sticky_topics”

So one approach could be: override default args

bbp_has_topics(array('show_stickies' => false);

Extra loop for stickys (not tested, just a sketch)

$query = new WP_Query(array('inlucde' => bbp_get_super_stickies());

Though i recommend looking into the function bbp_has_topics to be aware of all possible cases.
