Most replied to is already in the topics widget (as most popular), so it would be nicking that query code.

It would not be tons of code to do a rating, as long as the rating system stores the score in post_meta, then a simple query with that meta would do it.

Just that I haven’t got time to code it at the moment.

suggest you

a) look at bbpress rating plugins
b) check that they store scores in post_meta
c) either code yourself (see bbpress/includes/common/widgets) for the widget code,
d) or pay someone to do it http://jobs.wordpress.net/

as the software is free, it relies on the community to write guides etc.

If you write such guides, please come back, and I’ll happily add them to the documentation for the benefit of others

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

ok if you’ve done repair, then don’t know what else to suggest

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

none that I know are that integrated

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

your theme is having some issues with bbpress, in particular when trying to display that page there is an error

<article id=”<br /> <b>Warning</b>: Missing argument 1 for getMagicrechePageID(), called in /homepages/33/d197641801/htdocs/AdoptionChatter/wp-content/themes/magicreche/page.php on line 25 and defined in <b>/homepages/33/d197641801/htdocs/AdoptionChatter/wp-content/themes/magicreche/functions.php</b> on line <b>325</b><br /> chat-and-share-all-thing-adoption-fostering” class=”post-579 forum type-forum status-publish hentry”>

Suggest you refer to your theme author

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

so there are 40K replies in the forum, but just not counting them? ie can you se a really old one?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

First remove the data

dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums

then remove the plugin

dashboard>plugins>all plugins>bbpress deactivate and then delete plugin

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

Hey great = glad you like it, and a useful addition, so thanks for raising it

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

no problem, we’ve all spent hours trying to get something to work, only to find the solution was very simple !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

would definitely be worth you changing that back as a test and seeing if that fixes.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

I presue you did an import (40K posts in 6 weeks would be pretty amazing !)

ok, next question is did they all come across?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

Can’t see any widget area in your forum, can you post a link/url to a page showing the issue.

Thanks

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

sorry for delay in response, very busy time !

I can create topics in beauty forum, but not in the Healthy Food forum?

can you
a. not see the reply form
b. see it by not type in it
c. type in but it doesn’t save
d something else?

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

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

has it always done this?
is it a new installation?
when did it start?
and apart from you, will anyone really care??? 🙂 🙂

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

why not just have one form, referenced by a button at the top.

function bsp_create_new_topica () {
	 $text='Create New Topic' ;
	if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && !bbp_is_forum_category() ) echo '<div style="text-align: center;">  <a href ="#topic">'.$text.'</div>' ;
	}

function bsp_create_new_topicb () {
	echo '<a name="topic"></a>' ;
	}

	
add_action ( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'bsp_create_new_topica' ) ;
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form', 'bsp_create_new_topicb' ) ;

(not tested as its cut down code from one of my plugins)

adds a link which lets you add a link to the top of the page which sends you to the bottom, which you can easily make a button.

add to your functions file https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

or take the guts into the template you’re amending.

You could probably send it to a collapsing div at the bottom if you tinker

That way you only have one form

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

Great – glad the plugin is working for you !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

ok, it’s working fine on my test site with bbpress and twentyten.

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 twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

my shortcode

[bsp-display-topic-index show=’100′]

in

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

will let you change the number displayed, but only one page I’m afraid !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

I tried it again and it works.

But you will need to reload your page, and a simple refresh won’t get it to load. If in doubt, close your browser and re-open it.

Let me know if you continue to have difficulty

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

ok, I’ve just finished coding a ‘latest activity’ widget that should do what you want.

I’ve added it to my bbp-style-pack

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

which you can load to the site and just use (there’s lots of other stuff in there), or if you’re code savvy, you can fork it form includes/widgets.php into your functions file

Hope you enjoy it !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

You’re welcome !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

I think what you want is the template from my plugin bbp style pack

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

you can install this plugin if you like, it has lots of stuff in it, but if you just want the styling above then download the plugin to your pc, and do the following

1. 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

2. Find bbp-style-pack/extras/loop-forums.php and make a copy

3. Paste this copy into the directory called bbpress that you created in 1. above, so you end up with

wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-forums.php

4. Reload the site (don’t just refresh)

To stop using this just delete the file wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-forums.php

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

You would add the titles in between

eg

title a

[shortcode]

title b

[shortcode]

and use the page styling to make the titles header, or bold or whatever

The ‘forum’ is a column header

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

interesting, looks like it has been discontinued.

I have a version, but I’ll look to see if there are alternatives
