bbPress – Moderation Tools

ok, you’d do it with a metabox in the backend topic and reply custom post types

this should get you started

Creating Custom Post Meta Boxes in WordPress

cannot see the Trash Admin Link referenced for deleting topics from the frontend.

when you are in a topic or reply, if the admin hovers the mouse in the content part a series of admin options (admin links) appear typically edit|move|split|trash|spam| the ‘trash’ is the ‘trash admin link’ referred to

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years ago]

I can’t immediately think of any existing code.

Option 1 is the quick answer, but more manual.

It could be coded, a simple way would be to stop replies on the front end if a reply didn’t exist unless an admin.

you would need to amend form-reply.php – do you

1. have a child theme and
2. know how to ftp files to and from your PC?

If so contact me via my website

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years ago]

lots of ways to do this, you might want to have a think about the best for you

I have a plugin called

Private groups

which lets you set up groups and may be the best solution

alternately

if you are able to ftp and edit files the message is held in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-forums.php

so

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/feedback-no-forums.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/feedback-no-forums.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

so go into it and amend the message to what you desire.

You could instead put this in your functions file or put it in a code plugin such as

PHP code snippets (Insert PHP)

function rew_change_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
	if ( $text == 'Oh bother! No forums were found here!' ) {
	$translated_text = 'whatever you want it to say in here!' ;
	}
	return $translated_text;
}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_text', 20, 3 );

ow !

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years ago]

yes crack that code open it is in includes/widgets, you should find a good place to filter – probably change 159-161 – set the ‘post_parent__in’ to the forum of the current buddypress group, and the settings in the widget will be ignored.

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years ago]

are these tags the same for every reply?

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years ago]

sorry, I know nothing of imports, so can’t help.

Unfortunately open foundation software relies on either the authors or users (such as myself) to support for free. I try and help as much as I can.

What I would ask though, is that if you fix it then

1. post the solutions(s) here to help others
2. Dip in once a month/quarterly/once on a blue moon to see if you can help someone else – after all it is someone else’s help you are now seeking.

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years ago]

If I understand it, my ‘recent activity widget’ does that

you can find it in

bbp style pack

once activated you’ll find a new widget called

(style pack) latest activity

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years ago]

great – glad you are fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years ago]

ok, do let us know how you get on

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years ago]

not tested as going out soon, but this should work

add_action ( 'bbp_new_topic', 'myprefix_assign_tag_to_post', 10, 4 );
add_action ( 'bbp_edit_topic', 'myprefix_assign_tag_to_post', 10, 4 );

function myprefix_assign_tag_to_post($topic_id, $forum_id, $anonymous_data, $topic_author) {
if( $forum_id == '168'  && bbp_current_user_can_publish_topics() ) {
	wp_set_post_terms( $topic_id, 'introductions', 'topic-tag', true );
}

elseif($forum_id == '1343' && bbp_current_user_can_publish_topics() ) {
		wp_set_post_terms( $topic_id, 'discovery', 'topic-tag', true );

}
}

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years ago]

what is this ‘link’ ? please clarify – what link are you talking about?

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years ago]

@domeboys I have remove the error code as it looked like it contained the card details of one of your customers.

I can only repeat that you had a working site a week or so ago, and something changed to create the issues you have now. bbpress has not changed, but something has caused an error.

This could be down to many issues, including updates you have done, or database corruption.

I appreciate that you are feeling very frustrated.

In your position, I would be asking HostGator to revert my site to before the issue and see if that fixes. I would also suggest you turn on debug to see if that reveals a site error.

bbpress runs on over 300,000 websites worldwide, but there are infinite combinations of themes, plugins and data that make it impossible to say that bbpress will work in all circumstances, but the fact that your was, should mean that it could be again.

I wish you luck in resolving.

see

Subscribing to forum does not subscribe to all topics in forum

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years, 1 month ago]

no problem

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years, 1 month ago]

@haddly I can’t see any easy way to reassign content, given that you have already assigned it to yourself

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years, 1 month ago]

There is no standard

I just set up a user called ‘deleted user’ with a fictitious email address, and assign content to that

it is sitting waiting for 2.5.15 or 2.6

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years, 1 month ago]

great – glad you are fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years, 1 month ago]

no problem, glad you are fixed

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years, 1 month ago]

this seems to be some custom code the function vvd is not a bbpress one. I presume you have added this to your functions file, or a plugin has it ?

I googled and got this thread where the snippet is mentioned

http://bbpress37.rssing.com/chan-7465926/all_p128.html

function vvd_no_view_ip( $author_ip, $r, $args ){
	return __return_empty_string();
}
add_filter('bbp_get_author_ip','vvd_no_view_ip', 10, 3 );

is this the code you are using ?

[@robin-w Moderator 7 years, 1 month ago]

subscribing to a forum just gets you notifications of new topics, you then need to subscribe to the topic to get replies.

This plugin changes that so you are automatically subscribed.

topic subscribe

ok, this is beyond any help I can give – sorry but it is a bit like asking me to fix your car by email.

What I would say is that a week ago you had a fully working site. You/HostGator changed something and now it is not working. It is that change that caused the issue, and where you should look for a resolution.

Reverting back to a copy of your site before the problems would seem a logical first step.
