ok, this has driven me mad again ! I hated search last time, and I hate it even more now 🙂 – problem is that the results can be forums, topics or replies, and each one needs checking.

BUT I have fixed the pagination.

The downside is that searches will run slowly, as on each search I have to compile a full list of all forums, topics and replies that the user can see before running the search query. This takes time.

Previously I had tried to just check the current page, but that is what led to the pagination problem.

So can you try :

http://www.rewweb.co.uk/private-groups-2-5-3/

Follow the instructions, and confirm that this is working for you.

Sorry, but I cannot see an easy way to speed up search, so it’s a trade off, slow search and private groups, or fast search and no private groups unless I have a brainwave in the next few hours.

Anyway come back and let me know if this works on your site

@geeorgegeorge

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, 4 months ago]

Great – glad you’re fixed, and thanks for coming back to let me know !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

No that’s fine – do have a really large amount of topics/forums?

I’ll take another look at the code

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

I suppose I’m after

logged in as full user with all forums 174 results
Logged in as admin user – 20 results but should see all 174 – correct?
Logged in as user able to see only public forums – 18 results but should see xx
Logged in as a private user – xx results but should see yy results

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

can you post lines 30-34 please

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Slight problem is that I’m the plugin author of bbP Private Groups 🙂

Getting search to work with private groups drove me nearly mad – and I thought I’d cracked it, but clearly not 🙁

I’ll take another look at it – it was a while ago, and I’m always learning, so maybe a fresh look might fix any residual issues.

When you say you get 174 results – are these all ones that someone logged in with restrictions would see? ie how may are you expecting based on only seeing some forums?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Thanks – glad you’re fixed and thanks for the kind donation

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Hope you haven’t forgotten anything else !

ok edit

$last_active = strtotime( get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_last_active_time', true ) );
			if ($last_active < strtotime( '-10 days') )
				bbp_close_topic( $topic_id );

to

$topic_date = strtotime( get_post( $topic_id, 'post_date', true ) );
$forum_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id($topic_id);
if ($topic_date < strtotime( '-10 days') && $forum_id == 210 )
bbp_close_topic( $topic_id );

the $forum_id == 210 needs the forum id of the forum you want to restrict.

to find this, go into

Dashboard>forums>all Forums and hover of edit of the forum you want – eg hover over edit ‘announcements’ and look in the bottom right of the screen. you’ll see the edit url that will include post=210 or whatever number.

You’ll need to test that all the above works, and come back if you need further help

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

no problem

Alter the lines

$last_active = strtotime( get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_last_active_time', true ) );
if ($last_active < strtotime( '-10 days') )

to

$topic_date = strtotime( get_post( $topic_id, 'post_date', true ) );
if ($topic_date < strtotime( '-10 days') )

should do it

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

ok, I’ve added it to my shortcode plugin

bbp additional shortcodes

you will want :

[display-forum-index forum= ‘2932, 2921′ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’]

You can see how to set this in

Dashboard>settings>shortcodes

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

hmmm….hadn’t fully reads your original post

ideally I’d like to get search results with pagination

That’s what you should have ! Results should show the ‘replies per page’ setting together with full pagination.

Are you sure there are more than 20 results to show?

I suspect that something else is disturbing this

If you haven’t amended bbpress code or added filters then :

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.

Come back when you have done that

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

no problem

copy this code into a new notepad/notepad++ page

<?php

register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'bbpress_topic_scheduler');

add_action('bbpress_daily_event', 'bbpress_close_old_topics');

function bbpress_topic_scheduler() {
 wp_schedule_event(time(), 'daily', 'bbpress_daily_event');
}

function bbpress_close_old_topics() {
	// Auto close old topics
	$topics_query = array(

	);
	if ( bbp_has_topics( $topics_query ) )
		while( bbp_topics() ) {
			bbp_the_topic();
			$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
			$last_active = strtotime( get_post_meta( $topic_id, '_bbp_last_active_time', true ) );
			if ($last_active < strtotime( '-10 days') )
				bbp_close_topic( $topic_id );
		}
}
?>

Change the -10 days right near the bottom to whatever number you want

Save this file as ‘close_old_topics.php’

Compress/zip this file, so you have a zipped version.

then in worpress go to

Dashboard>plugins>add new and click ‘upload’ and then upload the zipped file you saved above, and then activate.

Come back if you have any issues, the code is not mine and I have not tested it, but others have used.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

V. close to a solution – but supper calls, will finish it tomorrow and come back !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

ok, so how tech savvy are you do you know

1. how to create a notepad/notepad++ file and copy/paste code into it?
2. FTP this to your wordpress site?

Come back and let me know

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

bbpress uses custom post types of Forums, Topics, and Replies.

Just use one of the many export plugins.

I googled ‘wordpress export custom post types to excel’ and got lots of useful looking plugins

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

I think these issues are not bbpress related.

I’d discuss these issues with the plugin authors and your host provider.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

no problem – glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

No leave it at 2.5.2 – might have been an issue with you mamp.

The reference to php 5.4 being stricter I found seemed to indicate that there was an issue in certain circumstances, so unless it is a firm problem I don’t want to alter code.

I know which files I changed (only 2) and will keep this as a reserve in case.

Thanks for coming back ! much appreciated !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Hey no problem, glad you’re fixed

I suspect that the plugin author would be better to sort you with tablepress eg

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tablepress

but you may hot the catch 22 that editing is in the backend and you need to disable this for the forums !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

but glad you’re fixed !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

probably because bbpress is sending them through subscriptions, as well as the notify plugin.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

Try adding this to your functions file

function change_search() {
$args['posts_per_page'] = 50
return $args;
}

add_filter('bbp_before_has_search_results_parse_args', 'change_search' );

where 50 is the number you want displayed

I haven’t tested, if it doesn’t work come back and I’ll fix it

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

try

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify/

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 4 months ago]

this plugin might be what you need
