No, you can only display either a list of forums or a list of topics as the ‘Forum Root’

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

I know some tables are named bb-something, but do the post have a “tell” ?

This, you should not have ANY tables named bb-something, are you using the old v0.9x/1.x version of bbPress? The standalone version or are you using bbPress v2.x plugin for WordPress?

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

I haven’t had a close look at the inner workings of the plugin so without doing that I honestly couldn’t say, it could be a scale issue, I don’t see anything obvious sticking out at me.

It’s just hit 11pm here and I’m out for the night, I’ll see how I go over the weekend to try a take a closer look…

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

Ok, still not having an issue here with both both plugins Network Activated on a Sub Directory Multisite and Sub Domain Multisite install…

Three screenshots here: ‘Movable Reply’ goes from one topic to the other topic https://cloudup.com/iDBwDqsRnet

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

How do you have bbPress and Private Groups activated? Network or Per Site ?

Also as long as you ran the repair tools after importing from phpBB it shouldn’t be an issue, if you didn’t there is a chance, slim but plausible.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

@trymedo Have you got any custom functions in the Twenty Fourteen theme or any ‘mu-plugins’ (You are using Roots after all ;))

@robin-w Nothing wrong, I just wanted to point them out 🙂

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

I really would suggest switching to the Twenty Fourteen theme, and testing that, it works for me.

If it still doesn’t work for you disable all your plugins except bbPress and ‘Private Groups’, test things, if it works great, start re-enabling each plugin one by one until you find it no longer works.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

I have a huge affinity for the Roots theme, it is awesome, but it can catch you out, I just gave the latest v1.6 a run, using Twenty Fourteen as the theme everything works as expected as ‘keymaster’, moving a reply from one topic to another works as expected.

The only errors I see are in the function pg_get_author_link (These are not related directly to @trymedo’s the issue though)

Notice Undefined variable: args 1 wp-content/plugins/bbp-private-groups/includes/functions.php:245
Notice Undefined variable: post_id 1 wp-content/plugins/bbp-private-groups/includes/functions.php:246

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

I’m fine with things as they currently stand 🙂 I agree that intentions are good both sides 🙂

I will state though just because someone can now ‘see’ your site doesn’t change the fact you still have to explain where to find the issue and reproduce it no matter how complex it is.

e.g. You need to go here, click this, now do this etc.. Expected: This Got: That

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

Awesome, glad you have a fix your happy with 🙂

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

Just to be clear on two things, first this is awesome the plugins you are writing and supporting Robin 🙂

Second https://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#The_Bad_Stuff

* Forum members should not post their email addresses, ask others to post their email or solicit contacting people off of the forums.
* Plugin and theme authors may post their contact URL or even their email address in their own support sub-forum, but that should be a last resort thing.
* Forum members, including plugin and theme authors, should never ask for admin or FTP access to a server, MySQL, or WordPress installation.

Thus far in this thread, nothing is ‘out of order’, these rules are designed to protect both user and supporter, if something does go horribly wrong and the ‘supporter’ breaks things really badly or the ‘user’ has a change of heart and accuses the ‘supporter’ of breaking their site things get ugly very quickly and neither party will be very happy.

These rules are designed to safeguard all parties and the vast majority of time things can be explained using just the forums, just take your time and explain it clearly so the other party can reproduce the issue, step by step with the resulting outcome and what you’d expect the outcome to be.

Edit: So carry on doing what your doing, I just thought I should point this out and probably should add this to our ‘create new topic form’ as a reminder…

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

Ok, I’ll take a look at the groups shortly, my computer is being stupid at the moment and isn’t playing nice 🙁

‘Reply to Replies’ / ‘2nd level replies’, we can do this easily, we support ‘threaded replies’, I can’t find how to make one or a setting though :/

Basically ‘whatever’ version procedure they use, I will reference that, kind of not important at our end except to say we tested with ‘x’ version.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

I considered that the content could at least be imported, then the admin would do whatever he wants to with that content. But maybe the groups ownership and membership will be impossible to mimick at bbPress level solely, so it’s better to avoid importing rather than making public content that was private to begin with…?

– Groups forums (either drop topics, leave them as parentless, or create hidden forums as per the group name)

I don’t think leaving them parentless is the best way to go, maybe creating a hidden forum might be the way to go. Let’s leave this out for now, we can revisit this in the future easily enough and get v1 out and revisit this for v2.

I’m adding a Users section to your own version of the converter module (based on other converters available). If we want to import user-related settings, like forums/topics subscriptions and favorites, is this possible ? WPS uses usermeta, and I would assume bbPress does so…?

– user meta (forum subscriptions, favorites)

Yes, mainly, I haven’t looked at importing subscriptions or favorites yet in any of the importers, will get there one day.

What you have added looks fine via your latest commit here.

WordPress database error: [Table ‘xxx.wp_bp_groups_groupmeta’ doesn’t exist]

You only get this error if you don’t have BuddyPress installed and activated, I need to add some inline docs for this and help docs.

How do you access a parentless topic in bbPress ? Could these be used for WP Symposium groups forum topics ?

You will see them in the topic list in the backend, you won’t see them on the front end unless you make them a sticky or know the url but they will be publicly accessible. Finding them in the backend is not so easy unless you know the title of the topic. Not the best experience, but also was never really planned for, it was just never enforced that a topic must have a forum either.

– Could you clarify what a forum and a category refer to, in bbPress terminology ? Is a category a subforum, which has necessarily a parent forum, while a forum has no parent ? In such a case, there should be a test over symposium_cats.cat_parent in callback_forum_type(), otherwise it can be simply disregarded…

Both a forum and a category can have sub forums or sub categories, forums can have topics, categories cannot have topics.

Thus symposium_cats.cat_parent is already being used with _bbp_forum_parent_id and this is how we get the forums, sub-forums, categories etc all ordered correctly in their correct nested levels.

I think we are good, I’ll grab the latest shortly and the patch to bbPress Trac Ticket #2603 and I’ll take it for a test drive then commit it and it will be part of bbPress v2.6.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

Hmmmm…. Adding breadcrumbs to the ‘author’ details of topics and replies, that’s different, haven’t seen that done before 🙂

Not sure if at the end of this I will have any form of an eloquent solution here for you…

Technically it is actually working for you as the ‘include_current’ is the actual reply, not the topic, thus I presume if you set it to true you results would be:

Forums › Assignment Submissions › Assignment 24: 1st 24 hours in Crown Point, Tobago > 3256
Where the 3256 is the ID of the first reply in your thread linked above…

And if you set it to true your breadcrumb for the first post, i.e. the actual topic would be:
Forums › Assignment Submissions › Assignment 24: 1st 24 hours in Crown Point, Tobago

The reasoning is that the breadcrumb function goes looking for ‘ancestors’ which includes the parent topic and any parent forums or categories in the hierarchy tree.

You could do something like this, downside is you still have a extra > separator that you cannot hide without hiding all of them…

a.bbp-breadcrumb-topic {
display: none;
}

The alternative method would be to not use breadcrumbs at all for this and use something like this for the ‘parent’ forum link:

<a href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

Yes

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

Awesome, glad you got it done 🙂

I don’t delete any databases until I have a backup, if you have a backup and are 100% confident you have a backup of the correct database and that database is no longer connected to a forum install (and you have backups of that also) then delete away, you can’t get it back once you delete it 😉

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

It is not a bug, we removed the default behaviour to have both editors enabled by default in 2.3.1, switching between editor types would more often than not change the content of the users topics or replies.

Now that TinyMCE v4 has shipped with WordPress v3.9.x once we have a few more architectural fixes in bbPress we can take another look, it is far from a small bug, quite complex to be honest.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

Woot! Thanks @Mercime, I’ll go and have a read 🙂

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

You can enable the full TinyMCE editor in bbPress, details are here.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

It’s not a setting at all, this can occur from various actions, typically if a bbPress forum or BuddyPress group has it’s visibility changed from hidden to private and vise versa. Potentially any changes made to private/hidden/public forums/groups so it’s worth checking what these are set for each forum and group you are having issues with.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

99% sure it is a compatibility issue with that Headway theme you are using.

I can’t find a reference to bbPress on their site, only a dead link to a BuddyPress article on their FAQ page http://headwaythemes.com/frequently-asked-questions/ that I think eventually lands you at this page https://headwaythemes.com/downloads/community-builder/ which mentions ‘Discussion Forums’ in the image, no specific bbPress reference.

If you don’t have a bbpress.php file in your theme folder try creating one based on your preferred page template, e.g. page.php or page-sidebar.php etc, just make a copy of the file and rename it to bbpress.php.

Short of that working I think you will need to contact the Headway support to find out if they support bbPress or not.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

A couple of thoughts, not explicitly what you asked for but are related 😉

Use bbp_show_lead_topic, here on bbpress.org if you go to a topic with many pages (actually more than 1 page) you always see the original topic at the top of the page.

And

Use CSS, take a look at the source of this topic, you’ll notice that any reply by the original topic author has a CSS class topic-author

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

You can also use https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_show_lead_topic/ it is what is used here on bbpress.org to seperate the topic from the replies using different template parts.

Take a look at content-single-topic-lead.php, you will also see bbp_show_lead_topic() in various other template parts such as the ones you originally mentioned.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

Your first issue is a known issue and is fixed for the next release of bbPress.
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2587

A workaround for that issue is to run the repair tools after moving a topic.

Your second issue could you give detailed reproduction steps and I’ll take a look.

eg.

1 Create this
2. Do this
3. Click this
4. Now this

Results: This is what happened
Expected Results: This is what I expected to happen.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 11 months ago]

I have no idea what that could be, bbPress v2.x does NOT include a file named forum.php

Are you sure you are using bbPress?
