forums have breadcrumbs to help navigation.

Yours appear to be switch off, possible by your theme?

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

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

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

@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

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

what widget are you using to see that list ?

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

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

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

or you could link to the ‘forum’ class as it is just before the title

eg

.forum::before { 
     content: "Read this: ";
} 

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

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

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

dashboard>topics>all topics>edit the topic and amend the forum on the right hand side.

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

@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

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

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

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

try this

a.bbp-reply-permalink {
display : none !important;
}

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

put this in your custom css area

.bbp-reply-permalink {
display : none ;
}

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

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/

Before Posting

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

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

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

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/

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

any chance of a link to forums on your site

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

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/content-single-forum.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/content-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

so change line 26 from

<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>

to

<?php if (bbp_get_single_forum_description != 'This forum is empty.') bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

This is not as easy as I thought.

As a widget it can be shortcoded, but the version I currently have does need to do the calculation each time, which on a site with lots of forums and users could make the site slow.

Whereabouts on the site were you thinking of – eg in sidebar, at top of each forum, within the forum list etc.

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

hmm…

not sure what to suggest next.

I could code a quick ‘close topic’ shortcode, but that would be beyond free – contact me via my website if interested

http://www.rewweb.co.uk

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

bis bold
I is italic
B-quote puts a wordpress block around the text – exactly what is set by your theme
Del – is delete quotes
img is an image
ul is an unordered list
ol is an ordered list
li is a list item
code is code – stops the display from executing, just displays it
close tags – closes all open tags

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

ok, thanks glad it is working for you

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

bbpress doesn’t override permissions, and works fine on several hundred thousand sites. Sever or webpage cache is the almost certainly the culprit – why it was affecting you we will never know.

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

Once they are logged in they go back to the forum.

went back to the forum

sorry to keep asking , but I keep asking because I cannot fix the issue without knowing PRECISELY what someone is doing.

what does ‘go back’ mean – if it is just hitting the browser back button, then that will always show what was there before. If they are clicking areas on the site, I need to know precisely what areas. ie after creating an account, they log in USING WHAT, and then press WHAT THINGS
