Topic: bbpress sidebar
Hello,
I am new to bbpress and trying to set up a forum for my website. I have major difficukties with the right sidebar. With the help of older topics and posts I wasn’t able to get the bbpress-sidebar with bbpress tweaks going but with the plugin widget logic I finally had success (partially).
The problem I still have is, that the chosen widgets do show on the default forum index page, but do not show on any further bbpress pages (forum, topics, …)
Can you help?The link to my (german) website is: http://brasilien2014fussballwm.de/forum/
Thanks!
I would like to start this discussions because I have no idea what to think of the adding tags to topics feature in bbPress.
First, Tags are taxonomies like Categories are also. Each Post Type ( or custom PT ) can be added with those taxonomies Categories or Tags right?
Looking that the Core of WP and how they’re designed to work Categories and Tags where always designed to be added by editors or authors on content – people who understand how to own or maintain a website through the WordPress admin.
Somebody who writes a blog post can define what categories and-/or tags they want to add against their blog posts – bbPress also uses Custom Post Types for Forums – Topics and Replies because they’re great for adding those kind of structural elements only there is a huge difference in the way how those work and who uses them.bbPress Forums have categories as taxonomy attached to them while bbPress Topics have tags attached to them. It seems pretty normal this way but if you look at how Forums and Topics are created at your WordPress site you’ll see that Forums are created by owners of the website ( like Blog Posts ) and topics are created by random users of the website.
Topics are more like comments compared to WordPress Core functionality because their added by external users not editors or authors like Forums are – you don’t want people who write comments to your blog posts also have the ability to add Tags to them , right ?
The main reason why I look at it like this is because I always switch the Tags functionality off in bbPress because it doesn’t work the way it should work to be honest. I think Tags are great for fast navigating and filtering-/grouping specific topics with the same errors at a forum the only difference is people who write topics have in general a problem with ‘something’ , else they don’t start a topic at your site at all. Those people often don’t know anything about blogging or maintaining a website and how Tags and Categories work. A Live example of how bad Tags in bbPress work if you let them get added by users who don’t know how they should work is the Tags Cloud on the sidebar at bbPress.org.
Just look at the Tag Cloud in the sidebar, the bigger-sized words are most often used. BuddyPress + WordPress + Integration + Forum + Plugin + Theme those words are often tagged by people who write topics which is crazy because those are totally not Tag-wards at all.
How could you ever filter WordPress or something like BuddyPress or Plugin at a forum? Those words are too broad or wide to be used as Tags , maybe they’re beter as Categories. Tags should be words you could search for to solve a problem – like bbPress Core function_names() could be great Tags at a forum like bbPress.org but we all know most people who write topics don’t understand this so they add more ‘sloppy’ (with al respect) words as Tags or even more worst they’re used as SEO keywords or something like that.My main problem with this feature is, IF you enable the Tags feature in bbPress you Moderation-activity goes up very fast because you’re always editing topics, removing bad words and adding better words. Okay we all know this is fun at the start when you’re forums are fresh and not very active yet but after 6 months or one year you don’t become very active at maintaining your topics because it takes up too much time and your Tags Cloud grows to something totally un useful as seen at bbPress.org.
My idea is to keep the bbPress Tags feature for sure, but adding a Filter system who checks at existing Tag-words.
There’s a Plugin called auto-tagger ( or something ) It only works at WP Posts, but what it does is it check for similar words in Post titles, content and excerpts – if a word matches a Tag-word it automatically adds the Tag to the Post.My opinion is we need this option by default at bbPress. Remove the adding Tags from the front-end – keep them add the back-end where some Moderator or site owner can create a list of Tags and whenever some user writes a topic and X word involves that topic the Tag will be added.
Knowledge boards like Stock-overflow uses those kinda of systems, they don’t let people write their own tags, especially not New users, you need at least X rate before you can add your own Tags.
Some other Great example is Zurb’s new Forum, they also add Tags automatically based on the words in the content. They’ve Pre-Tagged Foundation’s elements so whenever somebody uses one of those elements in their topics because they have a problem with this elements it becomes a Tag without doing anything. People who’s looking for support can click on those Tags and group similar topics together very easily.
http://foundation.zurb.com/forumIt’s a long story, but I believe this would make the Core Tags function inside bbPress a lot better and people could really use it as a great feature instead of disabling it because it’s a pain in the * to maintain in the end.
Maybe we can use excising WordPress Plugins and change them a little bit because Blog Posts and Topics have the same structure, their both Post Types connected with a Tags taxonomy.What do you think ?
Thanks for reading.Hi all, I am an extreme amateur at any coding, so please bear with me.
I am having a few issues with the default template.
First, I have a missing breadcrumb separator. When I am viewing all topics, this is what I get.
When I am viewing a single topic, the separator appears, but a space is missing after the last separator.
Also, when viewing all forums, there is a space missing from between the topic name and date in the Freshness box.
Those are the little issues. The big issue is that the forum seems to mess up something with the style sheet and fades the background. I think the transparency setting of the columns in the theme style sheet is somehow being applied to the background.
Here is what it should look like.
And here is what the forum does to it.
We are a new non-profit, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Topic: My customized sub-sub-forums
I HAVE DONE THAT, but you need to read all these instruction and do a customization:
//using add_filter, i have changed one original bbPress function (named bbp_list_forums, created from bbpress\includes\forums\template.php function) // copied that function, and inserted the additional code (you can easily see my added extra code) //so, after some time, someone, who will work on this website, may have to update the below "bbp_list_forums" function (according from the new version of bbPress package,as now its 2013-14 year), and insert again my added code in its place.. add_filter('bbp_list_forums','bbp_list_forumsNEWWWW',10); function bbp_list_forumsNEWWWW( $args = '' ) { // Define used variables $output = $sub_forums = $topic_count = $reply_count = $counts = ''; $i = 0; $count = array(); // Parse arguments against default values $r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array( 'before' => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">', 'after' => '</ul>', 'link_before' => '<li class="bbp-forum">', 'link_after' => '</li>', 'count_before' => ' (', 'count_after' => ')', 'count_sep' => ', ', 'separator' => ', ', 'forum_id' => '', 'show_topic_count' => true, 'show_reply_count' => true, ), 'list_forums' ); // Loop through forums and create a list $sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums( $r['forum_id'] ); if ( !empty( $sub_forums ) ) { // Total count (for separator) $total_subs = count( $sub_forums ); foreach ( $sub_forums as $sub_forum ) { $i++; // Separator count // Get forum details $count = array(); $show_sep = $total_subs > $i ? $r['separator'] : ''; $permalink = bbp_get_forum_permalink( $sub_forum->ID ); $title = bbp_get_forum_title( $sub_forum->ID ); // Show topic count if ( !empty( $r['show_topic_count'] ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) { $count['topic'] = bbp_get_forum_topic_count( $sub_forum->ID ); } // Show reply count if ( !empty( $r['show_reply_count'] ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) { $count['reply'] = bbp_get_forum_reply_count( $sub_forum->ID ); } // Counts to show if ( !empty( $count ) ) { $counts = $r['count_before'] . implode( $r['count_sep'], $count ) . $r['count_after']; } //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // ------------------------------------------------ HERE WHAT I HAVE ADDED ------------------------ //------------------------------------------------------- START ------------------------------- //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $fresnhesss=bbp_get_forum_last_topic_title( $sub_forum->ID ); if(empty($fresnhesss)) {$fresnhesss='NO TOPICS';} else {$fresnhesss='<a href="'. bbp_get_forum_last_topic_permalink( $sub_forum->ID ) .'">'. $fresnhesss .'</a>';} // Build this sub forums link $output .= $r['link_before'] .

As you can see at my screenshot I’ve completely removed the Merge, Split, Move and Reply links from my admin_links() function because I don’t need them. It’s a fun thing to do if you start to understand how it works.
The only problem is,
bbp_topic_admin_links(); is just a wrapper for all the links, each link has it’s own function and if you play nice with them you can copy them and use them straight into your page templates and you’ll see your link-/button show up wherever you want them to show up.
This is great, I’ve done something like this shmoo_bbp_topic_edit_link(); changed and reused the default topic link function and placed it at the top of the content as you can see in my screenshot.Great, only thing is, if I try to do the same with a function from a plugin developer it says; Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_topic_report_link()
Why is this function undefined ??
The developer has made that function in his plugin file – which hooks straight into my functions.php , why can’t I use his functions the way I do use the Core bbPress functions inside my functions.php file..I would like to remove the report link from the admin_links and bring it solo to the top of the content.
Just curious if there is an easy way to check if a user has been subscribed to a topic or not..
I’ve looked inside the Core templates and found the bbp_user_subscribe_link() function so I ported it over to my own functions file and changed it a little bit, now it works on the topics index page but for some reason it breaks at my topic-replies index page while they use the same default topics loop.
This is my code I’ve changed around a little and what it does is, it prints an is-subscribed text to the page if a user is subscribed to an topic or not. IF not is doesn’t do anything – this is-subscribed text I placed inside a HTML class so I can catch him by some CSS.
Visual, the 1px colored borders on the right indicate if a topic is-subscribed (blue), is-closed (black) or is-sticky (yellow).
It’s a very small feature but I believe very effective, maybe it’s possible to hook those is-values into the bbp_topic_class() by default because BuddyPress has this feature out of the box. If you’re a member of a group it also prints is-member inside the groups-list-class.
Anybody ideas about how we could make this more smooth and simple?
Topic: Change gravatar information
Hi all,
I have a problem… When somebody post in one forum the information below the picture avatar is
User name
Role
IP
by default I would like to change this information by “grups” that means… if you belong a group that information appear in the gravatar and hide IP adress. Is that possible? I am getting crazy trying change that
WordPress 3.8.1 running Suffusion theme.
bbPress Version 2.5.3On a registered participant login, I keep getting “The forum ‘Private: Small Stars’ is closed to new topics and replies.”
or “This forum is marked as closed to new topics, however your posting capabilities still allow you to do so.” if I’m on admin privileges.The forums are definitely open.
Repair forums gives me (As Admin and Keymaster) “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
I have searched for this topic, but the phrases around “This forum is marked as closed to new topics” bring up almost every webpage that uses bbPress, as it’s the default text at the bottom of so many topics!
What could be wrong here?
Thanks in advance for any help.
David.
