no problem !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

Great – thanks for posting back !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

ok, without having time to do all the work, I’ve quickly edited this bit of code – it may need debugging, but should get you there with some playing

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'rew_edit_profile', 10,2 );

function rew_edit_profile ($menu, $args) { 
global $bsp_login ;		
if (!is_user_logged_in())
		return $menu;
	//if primary set and not primary then return
	if ($args->theme_location !== 'primary' )   {
		return $menu ;
	}
	
	else
		$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
		$user=$current_user->user_nicename  ;
		$user_slug =  get_option( '_bbp_user_slug' ) ;
			if (get_option( '_bbp_include_root' ) == true  ) {	
			$forum_slug = get_option( '_bbp_root_slug' ) ;
			$slug = $forum_slug.'/'.$user_slug.'/' ;
			}
			else {
			$slug=$user_slug . '/' ;
			}
			//set link to welcome xxx
			$edit_profile= 'Welcome!'. esc_html( $current_user->user_firstname ) ;
						
			//get url
			$url = get_site_url(); 
			$profilelink = '<li> <a href="'. $url .'/' .$slug. $user . '/edit">'.$edit_profile.'</a></li>';
			

			
		$menu = $menu . $profilelink;
		return apply_filters( 'rew_edit_profile', $menu );
}

So are you trying to get it to say logout, or are you trying to get it to say ‘welcome’…

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

seems to be too hard a question !

For whatever reasons 2.6 doesn’t seem to be progressing, and no-one seems able to tell us why. JJJ seems to have disappeared from the authors of bbpress.

I think you can have two attitudes to this.

1. That bbpress id dead, and going no-where
2. that bbpress is mature, and that there are lots of plugins out there which add the functionality that you need, built on a stable solid base.

Given FB, Twitter, Instagram, pinterest etc. it is easy to see forums as yesterday’s technology, but the content in the list above seems to be transient, with no sorting, logic or permanence. Read and forget.

With forums you get logic, easy to read threads, and search capability – so I think forums still have their place.

So if you are like me, you have bbpress, but also have several other plugins (including my own published ones) that give my forums the functionality they need.

so go into wordpress plugins and search for both bbp and bbpress to see what is available.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

without knowing what that looks like – I suspect you won’t get a response

Can you post a link to a screenshot of what the issue is?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

this depends on what you mean by ‘change color’ – can you post a link to your site and say what part you would like to be what color

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

you can use the sidebar that your forum page is displaying – if it is showing one then read the rest of this, if not then come back !

If you want specific items for bbpress and maybe others on other pages, then add https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

and then use

is_bbpress() as a condition for widgets to be shown and !is_bbpress() for widgets that you don’t want on forum pages, but do on others.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

@omarsammour Unfortunately @jslom didn’t post the solution, maybe he will see this and come to our help.

Whilst my knowledge has improved, and given enough time I could probably work out an answer – I am fully tied up in other work at the moment – sorry 🙁

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

try here

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

That’s fine – just wanted to clarify that this is just one person’s opinion.

Also we are probably going to split this into a new topic

Not sure who the ‘we’ is in this sentence?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

@Robkk

Its not recommended during a setup of bbPress.

BY whom???????????????????????????????

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

@Robkk

I usually do not say use a “forums page” as it is not recommended during setup

1. Can’t see where it is not recommended -Indeed in dashboard>settings>forums it says “Customise your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.”

2. There’s a massive difference between recommending something and saying ‘it is not recommended’ As far as I know bbPress is just neutral – either works fine.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

ok, style pack version 3.2.7 should fix this

Let me know either way !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

I still can’t seem to mod the caps of Participant role.

ok, I’ll bite once more – can you post EXACTLY what you have as code to fix that, and tell me where you have put it.

and set the forums I wish to be private, to PUBLIC (ironic and backwards that is)

Private groups is my plugin, and yes agree gthat public seems wrong, but I can only work with what bbpress gives me, and use code to improve !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

Great – I can see the issue – I’ll fix it shortly !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

if topics are set as published then my ‘fix’ won’t help.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

sorry at this point I am backing out.

Just spending too much time on this and sorry I’ve run out of options – clearly something is wrong.

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

That’s IE for you !

For some reason that I can’t immediately see, IE is ignoring the background setting, so is just saying it has no background so showing white

I’d suggest you try changing line 999 on dark.css from

/*media all*/
media screen #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form p, #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form textarea, #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form select, #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form input {
    background: rgba(18, 21, 24, 1);
    color: #fff !important;
    border: 0px !important;
}

to

/*media all*/
media screen #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form p, #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form textarea, #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form select, #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form input {
    background: rgba(18, 21, 24, 1) !important;
    color: #fff !important;
    border: 0px !important;
}

It may or may not work !

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

ok, can you confirm that you are using the alternate template in style-pack>forum templates?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

If you are still using my style pack, then I suspect you haven’t got item 3 in forums index styling set.

3 should set the heading, and 5 the links to subjects

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

ok, I just did the following test.

Forum private, topic public
participant can read

Forum private, topic private
participant cannot read

The following code then added :

add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
 
function custom_capabilities( $role )  {
    switch ( $role )
    { 
        /* Capabilities for 'participant' role */
        case bbp_get_participant_role() :
            return array(
                // Primary caps
				// Primary caps
				'spectate'              => true,
                'participate'           => true,
                'moderate'              => false,
                'throttle'              => false,
                'view_trash'            => false,
 
                // Forum caps
                'publish_forums'        => false,
                'edit_forums'           => false,
                'edit_others_forums'    => false,
                'delete_forums'         => false,
                'delete_others_forums'  => false,
                'read_private_forums'   => true,
                'read_hidden_forums'    => false,
 
                // Topic caps
                'publish_topics'        => true,
                'edit_topics'           => true,
                'edit_others_topics'    => false,
                'delete_topics'         => false,
                'delete_others_topics'  => false,
                'read_private_topics'   => true,
 
                // Reply caps
                'publish_replies'       => true,
                'edit_replies'          => true,
                'edit_others_replies'   => false,
                'delete_replies'        => false,
                'delete_others_replies' => false,
                'read_private_replies'  => true,
 
                // Topic tag caps
                'manage_topic_tags'     => false,
                'edit_topic_tags'       => false,
                'delete_topic_tags'     => false,
                'assign_topic_tags'     => true,
            );
 
           
 
            break;
 
        default :
            return $role;
    }
}

Forum private, topic private
participant can read !

So the code works on my test site.

Can you duplicate this and come back with results?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

so can you confirm that your topics are set to private?

dashboard>topics>any topic>edit and see its published status

and that you suspect (know?) that this is because of ‘repair forums’?

[@robin-w Moderator 10 years ago]

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

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 10 years ago]

ok, so you need to determine if it is the is_bbpress that is the issue. If you just have the other code does it work – ie is the issue with the other code or the conditional?
