Wow – thanks for taking the time to create this. Much appreciated. I’m a realist, not so much of a purist!

Unfortunately, I am getting this error in the profile area of all topics and replies:

Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function 'andrew55_insert_field ' not found or invalid function name in /home/mysite/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 496

I tried function with both “bbp buddypress profile information” and “bbp profile information” installed.

Another idea – instead of pestering for help with advanced php functions, what about just throwing the snippet I have in a template file in my child theme?

I’ve been looking, but I can’t find the correct template file that controls the “user profile area” for the topics and replies when viewing a single topic. Any suggestions on where I might find this file so I can give it a try? It seems like it would be loop-single-topic.php, but that is for the view for all the topics together.

I’m still new to bbPress and am finding it tricky to learn my way around the files – but I’m getting there!

Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks – this is a great start. Although, my skill level just isn’t there yet with writing functions for WordPress. Here is the php snippet I have that will create the value I need to have displayed in profile area of topics and replies:

<?php
require_once '/home/site/public_html/amember/library/Am/Lite.php';
if (Am_Lite::getInstance()->haveSubscriptions(2))
{
?>
<p>custom text 1</p>
<?php
}
else {
if (Am_Lite::getInstance()->isLoggedIn())
{
?>
<p>custom text 2</p>
<?php
}
else {
?>
<p>custom text 3</p>
<?php
}
}
?>

If anyone is willing to help, that would be great.

Thanks for checking it out. I think it would be less confusing for users if topic doesn’t show twice.

[@andrew55 Participant 10 years, 5 months ago]

Robkk – thanks for the clarification. I’m getting a better grip now on how bbPress is set up. Although, in another forum I am working on, sometimes the stickies show up twice, but sometimes they don’t?

Question: So if stickies do show up twice normally, is there are method to get them to only show at beginning of topic (top of page)?

In the “list of topics” view, if it doesn’t have many topics and there is a sticky, the user will see the same topic twice on the same page (once at the top in the sticky area, and again below in the topic list area. Is there a method to prevent this redundancy. It’s not a huge deal, but it seems to me it will improve user experience.

Thanks for any suggestions.

[@andrew55 Participant 10 years, 5 months ago]

Thanks for the reply. I don’t “think” this a archive scenario, unless I am misunderstanding how archives work.

Here is one of the topics in question (it’s a sticky, not a super sticky):
https://www.lifeleap.org/newcommunitysite/forums/topic/read-before-asking-any-psychic-questions-in-a-post/

The topic is a sticky here:
siteurl/newcommunitysite/forums/forum/lifeleap-cafe/free-psychic-questions/

But it also shows up here:
siteurl/newcommunitysite/forums/forum/lifeleap-cafe/free-psychic-questions/page/2/

(I tried to post all links, but bbpress wouldn’t let me)

Thanks for any suggestions.

[@andrew55 Participant 10 years, 5 months ago]

AH! Works great. Perfect. Thanks.

[@andrew55 Participant 10 years, 5 months ago]

stagger-lee – thank you very much for the warning/advice. Actually, that makes perfect sense. I went back to the previous topic view (with no large icons). For other sites it might make more sense, so hopefully the topic created here might help someone.

I am going to stick with using forum icons in our main forum view. It adds a great look.

I got some great help from Robkk creating these earlier, but I’m having the same issue. The long forum descriptions are wrapping under the forum icon, as can be seen in the example below with the lock icon.

Any suggestion on how to style the forum description so it doesn’t wrap, but stays to the right of the forum icon?

Here’s a link to our test site:

Thanks for any suggestions.

[@andrew55 Participant 10 years, 5 months ago]

Stagger Lee – thanks for that, although it’s way over me head.

When I got it in to functions.php, it does work partially (at certain screen widths). But at other screen widths, the text starts wrapping under the icon again.

I’ll keep messing with it, but I’m open to suggestions.

[@andrew55 Participant 10 years, 5 months ago]

Integration is working great – whew!

[@andrew55 Participant 10 years, 5 months ago]

Thank you robkk and lanhuong11022. I’m new to bbPress and appreciate the help getting started. The theme files are completely new to me, so it’s been fun trying to figure out everything.

I was able to get the avatar larger. I’m still hungup on getting the overflow figured out.

http://camaushop.net/ is a great start. It appears they have the avatar somehow wrapped in a span, and the span has the overflow assigned to it.

I’m not asking anyone to hold my hand, but if I was to attempt to add a span around those forum icons, any suggestions on what theme file I might start experimenting with?

Thanks for any suggestions.

[@andrew55 Participant 10 years, 5 months ago]

Great – thank you very much. Works fine and looks great.

A couple quick questions:

1. Any suggestions on how to get the “Started by” text and username to display right under the topic title, to the right of the avatar, just like the topic title? Right now it is under the avatar.

2. Long topic tiles are now wrapping under the avatar. Any suggestion on how to style the second line of title so it doesn’t wrap, but stays indented as the first line of the topic?

I’m looking at the code and css and can’t figure it out. Thanks!

[@andrew55 Participant 10 years, 5 months ago]

I realize there is already a smaller avatar showing for each topic, but I’m talking about a larger avatar icon to the left of each topic. Is there a setting or maybe a plugin to enable this feature?

[@andrew55 Participant 10 years, 5 months ago]

Robkk – thank you very much. Works perfect now.

[@andrew55 Participant 10 years, 5 months ago]

Thanks for the suggestion. I decided to install a separate version of WP and install forums in there – my original WordPress database got huge with bbPress.

I then imported phhBB into this site. Next I will connect this site to aMember, although I’m not sure how that will go. Wish me luck!

[@andrew55 Participant 10 years, 5 months ago]

Robin W – thank you. Now it makes sense why there is no styling only on that link.

I found the setting in your plugin to disable it. BTW, you plugin is awesome. bbpress wouldn’t work for us without it.

I have it on my list of plugins to donate to.

Thanks again.

[@andrew55 Participant 10 years, 5 months ago]

I’m only talking about the link that scrolls the user down to the the “create topic” form, not the “create topic” form itself.

[@andrew55 Participant 10 years, 5 months ago]

Thanks for the suggestion.
