most functions return a variable, so filters need to also.

these ‘before..parse args’ ones always need $args returned

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

ok, I was unaware of that, and it seems that it has been withdrawn as it is not on their website

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

Try this

function cxr_subforum_filter($args) {
 $args = (array (
'before' => '<tr>',
'after' => '</tr>',
'link_before' => '<td>',
'link_after' => '</td>',
'separator' => '<br>',
 ));
 return $args ;
 }
add_filter( 'bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'cxr_subforum_filter' );

As far as I know there is only a wordpress version

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

This is a known bug

add this to your functions file

// Blocked users should NOT get an email to subscribed topics
function bbptoolkit_fltr_get_forum_subscribers( $user_ids ) {
        if (!empty( $user_ids ) ) {
                $new_user_ids = array();
                foreach ($user_ids as $uid) {
                        if (bbp_get_user_role($uid) != 'bbp_blocked') {
                                $new_user_ids[] = $uid;
                        }
                }
                return $new_user_ids;
        } else {
                return $user_ids;
        } 
}; 
// add the filter 
add_filter( 'bbp_forum_subscription_user_ids', 'bbptoolkit_fltr_get_forum_subscribers', 10, 1 );

ok, the following assumes you know how to use FTP, if not come back

You need to find

wp-content/themes/salient/page-sidebar.php

copy this and rename it to

wp-content/themes/salient/bbpress.php

so that you end up with both ie

wp-content/themes/salient/page-sidebar.php
wp-content/themes/salient/bbpress.php

bbpress will now use this for all forums, so you should see a sidebar on all forum pages

then see which sidebar is appearing, and we can amend it if needed.

We do need to talk about child themes at a later stage

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

ok, do you want the sidebar on the left or right?

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

ok, come back and let us know

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

ok, so you need to define it down to server or client

If you log in as test – it works – yes?
If so log in as him and see if that works.

If it does then it is his PC

If it doesn’t then it is server.

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

bbpress will use your wordpress theme. If you want to style and add features use

bbp style pack

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

ok quick questions –

1. are you getting any sidebar at the moment,

2. and is the presence/absence consistent on all forum pages?

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

ok, the issue is I suspect with the moderation tools plugin.

I haven’t opened that one up to see what it does, and I see you have posted the issue on their support forum to see if they can help.

suspect it would be beyond free help to look at issues between the two. If you like contact me via http://www.rewweb.co.uk

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

what plugins other than bbpress are you using?

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

I’d suspect issues with the quotation – different systems seem to alter these – try making them consistent – this might work

function cxr_subforum_filter() {
 bbp_list_forums(array (
'before' => '<tr>',
'after' => '</tr>',
'link_before' => '<td>',
'link_after' => '</td>',
'separator' => '<br>',
 ));
 }
add_filter( 'bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'cxr_subforum_filter' );

If it doesn’t then come back and I’ll take a deeper look, midnight here and on way to bed !

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

or is this not a support forum for BBpress users

yes this is, but you misunderstand how open source software works

People write open source software in their own time and offer it for free. Under the open software foundation the software is offered without any warranty or support. You use it if you like and not if you don’t. It is perhaps a bit much to expect software authors to answer every question someone might have about that software, or indeed having offered that software to the world for free, that they should invest any time to this unless they wish to.

If someone gave you a car for free, would you complain because they don’t come and service it for you?

I am not a bbpress author, I’m just a guy who uses this software, and in turn spends some of my time in trying to help others.

I have seen your questions, and there are many reasons why it might not work.

The most obvious are in https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/before-posting/ and in particular the troubleshooting section on plugins and themes will probably get you to a root cause.

Once you have worked through those, do come back.

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

yes the template files would be useful.

contact me via my website

http://www.rewweb.co.uk

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

suggest you pose the question to their support team, as a paid theme I of course can’t see it.

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

no Problem !

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

start with

dashboard>settings>forums>forum user settings has a parameter

Disallow editing after xx minutes

see what that is set to

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

sidebars are a nightmare since theme developers went away from the wordpress tradition of having standard files for each page type.

Many now just have a page.php file, which frequently calls functions and stops any easy solution to the problem of getting a bbpress sidebar.

So let’s start with what theme are you using?

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

I’ve now incorporated the code above into my bbp style pack

bbp style pack

dashboard>settings>bbp stylepack>forum order

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

I’ve now incorporated the code above into my bbp style pack

bbp style pack

dashboard>settings>bbp stylepack>forum order

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

Issue resolved.

Usernames had ‘ Disable the visual editor when writing’ switched off in profile

I’ve now incorporated the code above into my bbp style pack

bbp style pack

dashboard>settings>bbp stylepack>topic/reply form item 9

[@robin-w Moderator 8 years, 9 months ago]

ok, you’ll need to amend wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-user-register.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/form-user-register.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/form-user-register.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this
