I’m looking for the same thing.

[djoep]

I did all my work locally so no issues with memory or timeout that I could not easily resolve. BTW, one thing I did along the way was to set the number of rows to 1000 vs the default 100.

My overall strategy is to work off of a local, static version of the smf DB and local version of WP and all plugins and themes.

Once I get the process working smoothly and reliably and I get most of the development done in the WP end of things, I’ll do the following:

1) Lock down smf on the live site to new posts.

2) Make a backup of the smf DB and import it to my local environment.

3) Process the recent SMF DB using my (hopefully) perfected translation process.

4) Use standard WP methods to Move my site to the live server.

I’m a long ways away from this, having a lot of other development work to do (see bigtreestech.com to see where I’m starting from). I will be “practicing the moving of the site to the live server before I have to do it for real to find and fix any residual issues with URLs and paths that I expect will exist.

Finally, I believe that the groups and group forums were created by the smf import plugin, not the sitewide forum selection from bp. I am trying to get to the point where I can go from site-wide smf, with no group association, to the same sort of forum with bbpress. I will also be using the bp internal forums for groups but there will be no “overview” of group forum activity… at least that is my thinking so far.

Hi there,

I have tried both ways to install and setup. One is to download then FTP upto the server (www.sharkshout.com/forum) and nothing happens when i go there. And also install new plugins which installs the bbPress.

Difference between doing it the two ways?

If i install the plugin i can add the Topics / Forums etc but they dont show anywhere.

Please can someone help shed some light here. Its a fresh new website, clean default template and nothing setup or installed yet.

thanks,

Mark

I’ve figured out how to change the bread crumb separator:

<br /><br />
// Change bbPress bread crumb separator.

function filter_bbPress_breadcrumb_separator() {
//$sep = ' » ';
$sep = is_rtl() ? __( ' « ', 'bbpress' ) : __( ' » ', 'bbpress' );
return $sep;
}

add_filter('bbp_breadcrumb_separator', 'filter_bbPress_breadcrumb_separator');

I have not yet figured out how to add “You are here: ” at the start of the bread crumbs:

I’ve tried this…

<br /><br />
function my_breadcrumb_trail_args( $trail ) {<br /><br />
$args = '<div class="bbp-breadcrumb"><p>You are here: ';<br /><br />
return $args;<br /><br />
};<br /><br />
add_filter( 'breadcrumb_trail_args', 'my_breadcrumb_trail_args' );<br /><br />

…and this…

<br /><br />
function test($defaults) {<br /><br />
$defaults = array(<br /><br />
'before' => '<div class="bbp-breadcrumb"><p>You are here: ',<br /><br />
);<br /><br />
return $defaults;<br /><br />
}<br /><br />
add_filter('bbp_breadcrumb','test_args');<br /><br />

Neither work.

For now I’ve taken the hacky approach and just edited my bbPress files directly. You can see it in action here: http://www.directsponsor.org/forums/

Any assistance with the filter would be greatly appreciated.

What I want to achieve:

I’ve installed bbPress as a plugin for WordPress. I want to make a few simple changes to the bbPress bread crumb function:

bbp_breadcrumb();

I need the bread crumb separator to be double right arrows rather than the default single arrow:

I want to replace > with ».

I also want to add “You are here:”

Why I need this:

I need to match the styling and position the Yoast Breadcrumbs. Yoast Breadcrumbs is installed as a plugin for WordPress. It breaks on bbPress pages.

What I’ve tried:

Using conditions and CSS, I disabled the Yoast bread crumbs on bbPress pages. I also disabled the default bbPress bread crumbs but called it just beneath my primary navigation. Effectively, I’ve “moved” the bbPress bread crumbs.

To change the bread crumb separator I’ve researched JavaScript and jQuery string replacements but I’ve been advised that this is “hacky”.

My question:

What’s the conventional way of changing the output of bbPress function?

I can provide additional JavaScript, PHP and CSS code if required.

Live demo:

These two live examples highlights the two types of bread crumbs:

Yoast bread crumbs: http://www.directsponsor.org/forums/

bbPress bread crumbs: http://www.directsponsor.org/news/

Couldn’t find the file Im using the default theme that comes along with the plug-in. Do you by any chance know what it is called?

Sorry about the hassle but im kind of noob on coding!

[kurtzky]

Hey guys. I just integrated my WP site to BBPress. Right now I am having some problems with the default “forums” page that was created. The right sidebar is not displaying on that page, but when you go to the topics you can see it. Do you know how to fix this issue? Sorry I am really a beginner in BBPress.

http://www.kurtzky.com/forums/

Thanks in advance!

[highexistence]

How can I output the topics loop ordered by # of replies? I know I can grab them via wp_query, but I’m not sure how to also grab voices, latest poster avatar, etc. (to mimic the default topic loop).

Any ideas? Thank you!

[a2cmedia]

I would like it so that visitors see the latest post from 2 of my forums on the default page. Is there some code to allow me to do this?

[OAEErra]

@slithx0r

If using the default theme, where exactly would I add/edit the function ‘bbp_get_topic_edit_link’ with the code:

$uri .= ‘?edit=1’;

in bbp-topic-template.php?

Sorry not the best with php!

[spigi]

OK, in one things I probably make mistake I try to install bbP 1.0 theme using 2.0 version. bbP 2.0 use WordPress theme, am I right? (sorry for my stupid question but I’m just started with bbPress.)

I install Frisco theme (one of this: https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/)

And I still can’t see “add Topic” button. I try everything, every official theme and nothing

What should I do to have “Add topic” button? Exactly like on this forum

PS. I don’t know why but I’m still have this notice:

“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”

I use Frisco theme, bbPress 2.0, buddyPress 1.5 and WP 3.2.1:

[spicynodes]

Your search widget is a welcome addition. One useful improvement would be an option to merge page/post search (the WP default) and bbpress search, so that ONE search can search all WP content.

[highexistence]

That fixes the first error but I’m still getting this one:

topic.js:39Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method ‘wpList’

I’ve tried deactivating all plugins besides BBpress, switching to the default theme and re-installing BBpress. The errors still comes up.

wplist.js is being called before topic.js so it must be something in the code…?

[Anointed]

I am adding a number of new options to bbPress and want to add the user inputs to the bbPress options page. Instead of messing around with the default options page, I simply want to add a few tabs to the page where I can add my options.

I do know how to do this when writing my own page from scratch, but do not yet know how to add tabs and options to an existing bbPress options page.

example of what I am talking about:

http://digitalraindrops.net/2011/02/tabbed-options-page/

Can anyone point me to a plugin, or code snippet that would show me how to extend the bbPress options page with tabs and options?

thnx

Back in summer I had similiar issues with the betas and RC’s… When I had templates in theme/child theme and combined bbPress functions.php with my theme/child theme’s functions.php I had problems with still enqueueing the scripts from the included bbPress-twentyten, so I just removed these lines of code from my combined functions.php and got it working. After that my template files/css etc. were called and used correctly.

It’s only a suggestion to just check the source code of your forum index what stylesheets and what scripte are loaded from what source. Then compare it with the calls from the functions.php files. Maybe you can find some issue…

I didn’t liked all these combining and integrating so I just added some css rules to my theme stylesheet (most with “!important” but I don’t care that much about this…) and left all other on default bbPress which worked best for me

Hope this helps a bit, Dave

I created a BuddyPress compatible theme but when forums are enabled using bbPress I get the annoying message in Appearance panel that says:

“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”

My theme displays the forums correctly with or withour BuddyPress enabled.

One of the great things about bbPress is the theme compatability mode. This message is unhelpful as it implies the current theme is not bbPress compatible. It is confusing users.

Is it possible to turn off this message?

[OAEErra]

I think this was a theme-related problem. I was using Frisco child theme and once I changed back to default it’s resolved.

[nuobodu]

Nope, im not using buddypress.

All the Forum settings are default, i didnt change anything after instalation.

I tried to access the forum via the original link http://www.8ball.lu/wordpress/?p=3448. But that links changes the line in the address bar to the nice address http://www.8ball.lu/wordpress/forums/forum/one-new-test-forum and it still gives 404 error.

regarding the other plugins, true i have 26 plugins active, which i all use.

Are there any known conflicts with other plugins? Just to know before i will make a clean install.

Thank you

[Vayu Robins]

Thanks John, but I am still not getting any translation on the bbPress forum plugin.

I have my WordPress translation files here: /wp-content/languages/ and my WP installation is translated perfectly.

I have placed my bbPress plugin language files here:

/wp-content/languages/bbpress/da_DK.mo

/wp-content/languages/bbpress/da_DK.po

I have this in my wp-config.php:

define(‘WPLANG’, ‘da_DK’);

I have downloaded the language file from Glotpress.

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin/da/default

Wonder what can be going wrong??

Thanks

Vayu

I just solved it 2 minutes ago On my new site http://justaskpatrick.com I turned on registration and made the default role forum participant. On this new site I was also able to get the shortcodes working. I wasn’t able to on my main site http://allaboutfocus.com .

[highexistence]

I also switched back to the default buddypress theme and it still is broken. No JS errors, but no AJAX either

Hello all,

I am trying to setup bbpress on my test site. I want to replace Simple forum.

I followed BJ’s walkthrough and got it showing on the “forums” page.

From admin interface i created couple of forums, and couple of topics.

I can see the forums on http://www.8ball.lu/wordpress/forums

But when i click on any forum name i get a “page not found” error.

What am i doing wrong?

My parent theme is a custom theme created with Themeframe (im astill working on it, and currently i have only changed the menu). I did not touch yet the default templates.

Thank you.

[Erlend]

I took it for a spin, and here’s my feedback thus far:

A lot of functionality should be in its own plugins.

– Move forum:

I’m surprised this isn’t in core already; I thought it was. In any case, this would make much more sense as a stand-alone plugin, as its useful for all topics, not just support topics.

– Forum Ranks:

As far as I can tell, it doesn’t tie directly in with support topics; it’s a completely separate feature. Maybe you have plans for it, but if that’s the case I still think you should just have two plugins communicate, as this is something many support forums won’t need. I personally dislike forum ranks. I consider it unwarranted labeling. On the jMonkeyEngine forum we frequently see first time posters with 10+ years of Java experience, which is the type of experience that holds weight in our community, not # of forum posts.

– Please separate your settings from bbPress’ options page. Your plugin offers so many options (which by itself is great) that it ends up bloating the options page.

– I think the default setting should reflect the one in this screenshot:

https://s.w.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-vip-support-plugin/screenshot-3.png?r=448946

That part slipped by me in the settings screen, and when I tested the plugin I was puzzled by how I couldn’t change my test support topic to “resolved”.

– What about a widget for the resolved/not resolved drop-down? (Same goes for Assign topic, and possibly some others I haven’t noticed yet). This would make it easier to fit it in with custom themes. This also means admin should have the option to turn off the in-built drop-down.

Oh and as recommended, add the bbpress tag to your plugin. It’s the default bbPress plugin tag, and currently the most convenient way of keeping up with the latest bbPress 2 plugins.

[highexistence]

All ajax functionality on single topic pages are broken. I get the following errors on:

wp-lists.js:1 — Uncaught ReferenceError: ajaxurl is not defined

topic.js:39 — Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method ‘wpList’

I’m using a copy of the TwentTen BBpress theme, but it doesn’t work even if I switch back to the default theme. I’m using the BBpress plugin with Buddypress, not standalone.

[Rev. Voodoo]

I didn’t think anything was necessary to use it. During installation, step 3, I either set up, or it defaulted the forums base slug as forums.

A slug is part of a URL, so Ithen visited domain.com/forums and it worked.

So I added a link to my menu for that URL, and I was done.

Basically, whatever you set the forums slug to, yu add to the end of your URL, and there’s your forums
