Hello,
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me get this working. I understand it is going to take some coding, but that is what it is. A forum should not require this much coding to begin with. Why do the roles have to be so confusing? Remember, if normal people cannot understand how to do something by reading the codex, that creates more threads for the more advanced issues.

I am pretty much a nonprofit organization with my blog and a small forum, I do not have money to pay a developer, so I am asking the wonderful volunteers here to please provide some assistance.

Thanks.

Hello,
You just got your first 5 star rating. Good job, can’t wait to see more to come with this plugin. I will let you know if I think of anything.

Thanks.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

OK, that is good, I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks 🙂

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
I just tested it, working great.

I will probably customize it with CSS, but that is an awesome start.

Thanks.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
I will check it out sometime this week, hopefully tomorrow.

Thanks for that fast addition.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hey @tkserver,
Nice plugin you created. Do you think it would be possible to create shortcodes in the next update? My theme is so old it does not have widget areas LOL.

Thanks, cool plugin BTW.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
It is more than likely custom coded.

Thanks.

Hello @robin-w,
I thought this plugin might help me to allow participants to trash but not delete their own topics, but I was wrong. There is only a delete capability and a moderate capability. The moderate capability gives users way too much access while the delete capability is useless if a user cannot first trash the topic. I do not want users to be able to delete their own topics or replies anyway. Any suggestions to just allow the user to trash their own topics and replies?

Thanks.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
That code worked great. Could you please help me make another view for solved topics?

I almost did it myself, but I do not know what or how to find the meta_value that I need.

Thanks for your help.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

@robkk, I am quite a new coder, I will have to test it later and figure out what is wrong.

Thanks.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
“Theme Help” does not give anyone a lot of information. One place to start would be to learn how to use a web inspector such as Firebug or Chrome Developer Tools. Then you can identify the classes you need to make changes. If you cannot make the change you want, there is a community forum right here that will be more than happy to help you. 🙂

Thanks.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
Couldn’t you still use functions.php with this code to restrict it to BBPress.

if ( is_bbPress() ):

Makes since to me.

Thanks.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
Please insert this code in a mu-plugin. Using FTP, create a folder named “mu-plugins” in the /wp-content directory without the quotes. Then create a file named what ever you want with a .php extention. For example, example-plugin.php.

<?php
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'reposition_selector' );
function reposition_selector() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
var htmlString = jQuery('.bbp-topic-form').html();
jQuery('.bbp-topic-form').css('display','none');
jQuery( "<div class='bbp-topic-form'>"+htmlString+"</div>" ).insertBefore( "#subscription-toggle" );
		});
	</script>
    <?php
}

Thanks.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
I would just edit the template, I could not make my code work either.

Thanks.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
Sorry, I was trying to ask you to link to the theme but failed. Your theme does have a footer, now we just have to find the file.

Thanks.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
Can you please share your site URL? I don’t know how it is possible to not have a footer file.

Thanks.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
Do you have a theme footer.php file? Appearance, Themes, Editor? Everyone has that.

Thanks.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
You could try something like this. Place this code before the ending </html> tag in your footer.php file of your theme.

<script>
jQuery($('.bbp-topic-form').insertAfter('#subscription-toggle');
</script>

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
I did some customizing, here is the end result.

Code in functions.php

function rkk_add_notice_before_topic_form() {
?>
<div class="bbp-before-posting">
<p>
Before Posting

Thanks @robkk, that worked.

I was aware of the shortcodes, I just did not know you could use that value there.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
Sorry for my late reply. That solution worked.

Thanks.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Since having the menu expand is not part of the normal bbpress function (it just lists the menu items rather than having a dropdown list), I presume that either your theme is doing this, or you have added some js to do this?

Yes it is using JavaScript, I pasted it all above.

Thanks, I will take a look at link posted in your last reply to.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

This should be an added feature for such an awesome forum CMS.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
I would also try to get use to using a web inspector such as Firebug or Chrome dev tools. It makes CSS adjustments so much easier.

[@tech55541 Participant 8 years, 9 months ago]

Hello,
Site is still a little unstable, but I think it is good enough to get this problem fixed.
Just so we all understand, here is what is going on. The menu is designed to open on mouse hover and then close when the mouse pointer leaves the menu. On mobile devices such as phones and tablets, you cannot close the menu because clicking Options opens it. We need to add some additional code to first check if the menu is open, if not, on click open it, if so, on click close it. Would this be a doable task?

You do have to login to see the options menu, this user account will be deleted as soon as we are done using it.
