My install of bbPress has been acting this way since I first set it up. Ive got a custom theme running and a huge list of plugins so I really don’t even know where to start hunting. Pretty annoying but not the end of the world.
Good to know its happening to someone else. I really think that’s whats happening- a user is marked inactive until following through with a login. Anyone noticing this?
This is still going on. There aren’t any reports of problems anymore but there are still dozens of accounts showing up as “Inactive (no role)”
Is this just due to people signing up and never logging in? Or do I have an actual problem that may be barring people from participating?
The theme I’m using was Kakumei to start with and should still be functioning in mostly the same ways. I’ve made a ton of style edits and installed a bunch of plugins but all the tag functions are untouched.
d’oh! this works:
<?php global $topic; echo "$topic->forum_id"; ?>
should’ve mentioned I was on a topic page
I tried inserting
<?php global $forum_id; echo $forum_id; ?>
just to test if I could grab the value and I could not. I tried it in a few places with no luck. What am I doing wrong?
Also thanks for all the plugins. I’ve got like a dozen of them running on my install.
I found an answer here ( https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/check-for-topic-pages-gt-1 ) that works well enough. It included a nonlinking page 1, and a next button, but I’ve hid those and only show the extra pages.
Ah, I am using 1.0 final. Is there a master list of template tags / functions somewhere like they’ve got for WP? In WP any time I need something I can usually just go track it down in their codex but with bbPress I always feel lost. I see on that page it says to use the topic page links function. Where can I get some info on that?
That plugin works great but I’ve got an extra request. What would it take to process the data submitted a tiny bit? Like when adding a field for the user’s twitter name. The plugin just automatically inserts whatever they entered onto their profile page. Where would I go to insert the http://twitter.com/ before the username?
I just wussed out on a real fix and started using _ck_’s plugin, ‘Post Count Plus’ ( https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-count-plus/ )
One of its options is lets you select where the username link points to. Aside from that its got a handful of other useful options. Good stuff.
Its gotta be possible, these forums are doing it now. Under each username is a link to the user profile. If only I could figure out how they were doing it…
I’m also curious about this. Using
<a href="/profile/<?php post_author(); ?>">User Profile</a>
doesn’t work for me since some users have display names that aren’t their user name. Is there not a simple bbPress template tag for calling the link to the user profile?
Silly me, a few more minutes of searching and I turned up an answer:
