Mycelus – which plugins have you tried, and what issues have you had, or what is lacking in them.

Because if the developers take up your suggestion, you won’t want them to make the same mistakes that you have found in these plugins!

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

ok, something’s caused it, so we need to try and resolve down. Can you run the following :

If you just type on http://mysite.com/wp-login.php into your url, do you get the same problem ? [test if the issue is in executing the result, or issue before that]

Create a new page and put [bbp-login] in it, and then run that page (either by url eg http://mysite.com/my-new-page-name, or from a menu, I’d try both) [see if it’s in the widget]

What other plugins are you running?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

Did they say which plugin was the issue, and how they knew it was a plugin issue?

I’d never rule anything out, but if there was an issue with bbpress and buddypress running on themes, then the whole world would be shouting about it, there are tens of thousands of these installations.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

you don’t actually need to change the permalinks eg is Kazza were user 15

http://www.mysite.com/forums/users/15/edit/

works just as well as

http://www.mysite.com/fourms/users/kazza/edit

so you’d need to change how the profile page is called so that it displays the no. in the url.

Given that profile is called from

any topic or reply display (click the avatar or author name)
several widgets (click the avatar or author name)
possibly other areas

you’d need to re-code these areas.

the function bbp_reply_author_link is used for topic and reply display, not sure if widgets use that as well.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

Great, glad you’re fixed.

If you do some coding for ranking, can you post this back here, and maybe I’ll add it as a plugin for others benefit

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

Ok, it should all be fine.

Suggest you start by deactivating all your other plugins to see if that fixes. If it does, then add back one at a time to see which is causing it.

If that doesn’t work, try changing to a default theme such as twentyeleven and see if that fixes

Come back and let us know if that gets you anywhere

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

Ok, not quite sure why that stopped working – it used to !

But have just tested this :

function display_counts () 
{
		
		$user_id=bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) ;
		$topics  = bbp_get_user_topic_count_raw( $user_id);
		$replies = bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw( $user_id);
		$post_count   = (int) $topics + $replies;
		echo "<br>Total posts : " ;
		echo $post_count ;
		echo "</br>" ;
		}
add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'display_counts') ;

and that works.

As before you can then add some if statements to display a status or icon

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

yes just tried it, and it does say 0 – will come back to you – I just cribbed some code within a larger file that it worked several months ago – will take a closer look !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

ok, try deactivating all your other plugins, and see if it then works. If it does, then add one at a time to see which is causing the issue.

If still failing, switch to a default theme such as twentyeleven to see if it is theme related

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

Presuming you are using latest versions, these should work fine together.

What other plugins have you got? Deactivate all other plugins except buddy and bb, and see if they are then ok.

If not, then try switching to a default theme such as twentyeleven to see if it is theme related.

If it is ok with just theme and bbpress and buddypress, add back plugins one at a time to see which is casuing the conflict

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

Yes it can be done, but you’d need to have some coding skills.

You’d need to amend loop-single-reply.

Start by creating a directory called “bbpress” under you theme directory

ie

wp-content/themes/what-every-yourtheme-is/bbpress

and copy this file

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

to it

This file is then used by a higher loop to display the topic and replies as you now see them, with avatars and all the content.

You can then amend this file to display as a single line items, presumably with a post link attached.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

It will almost certainly be an issue with the role editor

A quick deactivate of that plugin to prove would be worthwhile

and then try having a look at their support forum, or posting there

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

Yes, but depends on how code savvy you are.

Basically adding this to your functions file will get a count showing

function display_counts () 
{
		$post_count = bbp_get_user_post_count( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id )) ;
		echo "<br>Total posts : " ;
		echo $post_count ;
		echo "</br>" ;
		//add some if statements here eg if $post_count>100 echo 'hero' or a link to a picture
		}
add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'display_counts') ;

and where I’ve indicated adding some if statements link to icons or words will do the second

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

Not seen this and should not work like that.

are those actual names of forums? If so, I’ll try it on my test site.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

Should be immediate.

Are you using any caching plugins?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

edited to get the link right !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

hmm..
with bbPress you should have a login widget that takes them to the bbPress profile,

I add the following code to it to make editing obvious

<p><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>edit" >Amend Profile/Change password</a></p>

You should be able to use that in your widget, or use it to substitute

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

Hey great, look forward to seeing it !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

@jslom

Do you fancy having a go at seeing if you can get this going for a bbpress entry !

Come back and let us know.

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

@pinkishhue
– Great – thanks for posting that – I’ll take a look

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

No, it’s been around for quite a while.

Try it !

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

that uses a class of bbp-forum-title

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

Yes, I was giving you the sort of code you need to write, in this case to write stuff to usermeta.

As I said this is not a bbPress issue as bbPress just uses wp-posts, so you’d do better on their forum

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

“On this forum you have a nice clean bar showing create topic favorites and subscriptions, how can I create this on my forum. Does not have to be exactly the same but similar.”

Answered in another post

“Not sure if that’s the correct way to go about it but seems to work!”

Suggest you read the setting up guides for how and where to change templates

Codex

“Also how can i fix the subscribe button/link as it is not displayed very well as you can see here. ”

Agree, not quite sure where this displays, will look when I get a moment

‘Also i created a page which i put the shortcode for new topic form which i link to from the main forum page as a button. this is great but the form does not display well on the page. How can i fix this? the forum is really spaced out as you can see here ‘

Not quite sure what this photo is showing, the button or the resultant page? Can you post the method or code you used on the “main forum page”

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years, 9 months ago]

The form only displays when you’re logged in, so we can’t see what your issue is. Can you post a picture via say phtotbucket, and detail what you feel is wrong
