if you want to restrict to just registered users, then simply set the forum to private
dashboard>setting>forums>all forums>edit forum and just set to private on then right hand side.
If you want something more complex, then my private groups plugin gives lots of granularity
Private groups
that link shows no topics.
But if you can give me a link with an example, then I can help
ok, I’ve done a very basic version in my style pack plugin, which would let you use a shortcode in say a widget.
bbp style pack
once installed go to
dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcodes and see the last one
In our case, we have only 5 forums and we were thinking it would be nice to show the same information available in the “Forums” section in the backend of WordPress where it displays a column of the number of subscribers for each forum.
Pascals tollkit will show the number of sucsbribers in the backend as a column
bbP Toolkit
I need to do much more to do what you want for the rest.
ok, I played with this for a while, and any solution would be site/theme specific and beyond free help I’m afraid.
@netweb
Did you do a bbpress to bbpress importer? I know it was mentioned some time ago.
Possible? – not without a load of bespoke code – I’m afraid
forums have breadcrumbs to help navigation.
Yours appear to be switch off, possible by your theme?
ok, just posting for anyone searching in future
THIS IS A WORKING VERSION
This code allows a standard gravity form lets it be saved as a gravity forum, but on saving also creates a new topic form for a specific forum
add_action( 'gform_after_submission', 'set_post_content', 10, 2 );
function set_post_content( $entry, $form ) {
//set the forum ID that the topic will be saved to
$forum_ID = '31086' ;
if (!function_exists('bbp_insert_topic')) {
require_once '/includes/topics/functions.php';
}
//getting post
$post_form = get_post($entry['post_id']) ;
$title = $post_form->post_title;
$content = $post_form->post_content;
// The topic data.
$topic_data = array(
'post_parent' => $forum_ID, // forum ID of Projects hard coded
'post_status' => bbp_get_public_status_id(), // Subscribed users can see this
'post_content' => $content,
'post_title' => $title,
'comment_status' => 'open',
'menu_order' => 0
);
// The topic meta.
$topic_meta = array(
'forum_id' => $forum_ID,
'reply_count' => 0
);
$post_id = bbp_insert_topic($topic_data, $topic_meta);
}
ok, we need to do some tests
can you contact me via my website
http://www.rewweb.co.uk
@jkw217 if you can confirm my post above – ie
can you confirm that
“5 random reply posts that arent working:
– all have ‘0’ for post_parent.
– all have a postmeta _bbp_topic_id #
I need to know that you
a) have EXACTLY the same problem and
b) have the postmeta as above
then I can give you some code
what widget are you using to see that list ?
can you confirm that
5 random reply posts that arent working:
– all have ‘0’ for post_parent.
– all have a postmeta _bbp_topic_id #
and I can give you some code
or you could link to the ‘forum’ class as it is just before the title
eg
.forum::before {
content: "Read this: ";
}
As it’s above the title, then it’s before bbpress kicks in.
you could try
if (is_bbpress) {
echo 'hello' ;
}
but may not work
Or try to add something to your theme page.php or equivalent before the title
Something like (this won’t work it’s just to start you off!)
$array = (2925, 3567,4567) ;
if (in_array ($page_id, $array)) {
echo 'hello' ;
}
where 2925 etc are forum ID’s
dashboard>topics>all topics>edit the topic and amend the forum on the right hand side.
@strike3 -sincere apologies for not getting back to you – your response slipped through the net.
Glad you are fixed, and thanks for posting the link
suspect it an update conflict
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
try this
a.bbp-reply-permalink {
display : none !important;
}
put this in your custom css area
.bbp-reply-permalink {
display : none ;
}
when they first log on they are allocated the default role that you set in dashboard>settings>forums.
you can use the bbpress logon widget in a sidebar, use the shortcode [bbp-login] on a page or post, use any wordpress logion plugin or technique, or add a login to your menu using
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
1. bbpress uses wordpress post database, so these are wordpress post numbers, so no, you cannot have different numbers for bbpress (without completely re-writing bbpress !).
2.
I also wanted to ask if there was a plugin that supported sharing bbpress topics.
None that I know of
I will need to look at your site, so I need a url to the forums on your site
eg
http://www.mysite.com/forums/
any chance of a link to forums on your site
