There are a couple of weird things happen with bbPress and setting them to ‘private’ from the backend, we just haven’t tested it thoroughly enough.

There is a ticket on Trac somewhere, can’t find it at the moment though 🙁 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org

There is also a plugin that gives each user their own forum that no other users can see, I am not sure if moderators have access to this forum or just the user and the keymaster.

The name of that plugin? I have no idea, I can’t remember the name of it, what I do remember is that this feature has nothing to do with the name of the plugin nor is the feature even included in the description. It is an idea not fully implemented and approx 75% of the code is just sitting in the background doing nothing. So if I remember what it is I’ll come back and update this. 😉

There are a few plugins that offer this functionality: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=bbpress+subscribe

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years ago]

Thanks for sharing your code and and yes some more docs on this would be great.

Anyone can add docs to the bbPress codex https://codex.bbpress.org/

You just need to login with the same username and password you use here on bbpress.org

https://codex.bbpress.org/wp-login.php

Have a look at the current pages and or create a new page

I don’t know what version of tinyMCE WP uses – I see that WP 3.9 is using tinyMCE 4 but not sure if it’s going to be 4.0.11:

WP 3.9 is currently now using 4.0.21, if 4.0.22 is released before WP 3.9 in ~4 days that might also make it into 3.9.

@shpitzyl Thanks for sharing your code, now I need to come up with a way to keep and organize all these snippets of code…

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years ago]

@batmanfan Instead of making this second user a ‘keymaster’ you should make them a ‘moderator’ and this will disable the backend access for you.

Look at the docs here on what each role can and cannot do by default

And the conflict appears to be with WP e-commerce Version 3.8.13.4 When I deactivate that plugin the links magically appear, but it doesn’t display the number of users correctly.

WP e-Commerce has one known issue in 3.8.13 that I know of, it is fixed for 3.8.14 though this appears to be a different issue:

Trying to Edit Reply causes infinite redirect loop

Maybe post a question on their support forums here https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-e-commerce

Conveniently I’m at my parents for dinner…

This is on an iPad 2iPad 3… And moving the cursor around to edit text works fine…

Now editing the original post with an iPad 3,iPad Air and still fine.

So a 2, 3 and 5/Air iPads are working fine to post and/or edit and/or change cursor location.

With all that said I have also experienced this exact same issue here on bbPress.org using my iPad. As each of these 3 iPads were originally mine and are now my parents yet I can’t reproduce the issue any longer.

Start here https://codex.wordpress.org/Editor_Style
Then here https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_editor_style

There are also quite a few WordPress plugins that will do the ‘PHP’ part for you, creating the correct functions and the like and you then just add the CSS you want.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years ago]

Ha! Thanks for this, the rabbit hole goes deep here…

I’ll take a closer look at his soonish, things indeed are a little broken here 😉

This is a BuddyPress issue, you would have more luck posting on the BuddyPress Support Forums:

@maecana I just updated the original post on what works and what doesn’t.

Categories adds another layer to the importer in general and it just doesn’t support this just yet, I hope to in the future though.

‘Typically’ most forums don’t have to many categories so recreating these categories in bbPress manually and then moving the forums under these categories works quite well.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years ago]

I definitely need to sit down and learn how to submit a patch on Trac. This is in my list of things to do

Check out my comments on this ticket, they should help get you on your way. Then just create your ticket and and any questions you have along the way I’ll help guide you along. 🙂

And yes, that was the way I was thinking you were going once I understood what you were saying 😉

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years ago]

Thanks, I created ticket #2580 and we’ll take a look.

As I stated in that ticket they are stored as a serialized array in wp_options.wp_user_roles

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years ago]

I am writing something to add a one-click unsubscribe link for the subscription emails, so need them to be unique for each recipient in that respect.

Ok, I follow you now, cool idea 🙂 If you ‘hack’ core it will break when you upgrade bbPress. 🙁

I presume you want the individual email so each link is unique and the user does not have to be logged in to unsubscribe?

So maybe create a ticket on Trac with a patch to have bbp_notify_subscribers fire after the redirect.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years ago]

I suppose that would work, though with the updates of the above code in bbPress 2.6 the performance cost of creating a separate email for each individually subscribed user has been removed and the impact of this before or after the redirect would be minimal.

Your original post:

I am working on a one-click unsubscribe link that will need to use the old way of sending the emails individually.

Essentially by doing this you will reintroduce the bottle neck that we just removed :/

Why do you need to create the emails individually?

Creating a single email with the recipients BCC’d gets the email to every subscriber from the ‘list of topic subscribers’ with only a single email and is far more efficient than creating an individual email for every subscriber.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years ago]

It already is…

bbp_new_reply_handler as linked above line #426 -> do_action( 'bbp_new_reply'...

/includes/core/actions.php#L229

229	add_action( 'bbp_new_reply',    'bbp_notify_subscribers',                 11, 5 );
230	add_action( 'bbp_new_topic',    'bbp_notify_forum_subscribers',           11, 4 );

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years ago]

@tharsheblows I think your looking at bbp_edit_reply_handler rather than bbp_new_reply_handler, you should be looking here (I think, if I’m following you correctly) scroll up to /includes/replies/functions.php#L426

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years ago]

Checkout bbPress’ ‘Conditional Tags’ https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-conditional-tags/

I think they are pretty straight forwardly named so then checkout WordPress’ page and this specific sidebar example:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#Variable_Sidebar_Content

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years ago]

This is fixed in the upcoming bbPress 2.6:

bbPress Trac Ticket #2162
Very long load times when posting replies if topic has many subscribers

Refactor subscription notifications functions to send 1 email with all subscribers BCC’d rather than 1 email per subscriber. This speeds up posting significantly in forums or topics where there are any number of subscribers, particularly on configurations with slow email servers or when using external email services.

I have created a bbPress starter theme with a phpBB look and feel

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years ago]

I should have included in my rant that aside from the issue of fonts I have no problems writing topics or replies 😉

Switch your theme as Robin points out and test with same version of Chrome your users would typically be accessing your site with.

[@netweb Keymaster 11 years ago]

I have been having a horrid time the past few days with Fonts by Google.

There is a known issue with fonts in Chrome 33 so if your theme is using custom fonts from Google this could be the issue.

All of my ‘development’ installs I gave up yesterday cursing and swearing far to much and have now installed the following plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/chrome-33-webfont-fixer/

I am not a happy camper with Google and Chrome at the moment…
