Hi,everyone,

The default tags page is like

example.com/tags.php?tag={tag_name}

but I want to make the url like

example.com/tags.php?id={tag_id},

is there any way to make it? could it be done by a plugin?

I have to do so because using the tag’s name in url may lead to being blocked by Chinese government’s Internet censorship.

thanks.

@etiviti It’s awesome I like it!

Have a look at bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php you’ll see the functions function get_post_author( $post_id = 0 ) and function post_author_link( $post_id = 0 ).

You’ll need to recreate those in a plugin or in your functions file to use $user->user_login instead of $user->display_name.

Have a look at profile.php in your theme to see how it is generated there. But remember that on post.php you’ll have to pass in the ID of the post to get the username otherwise you’ll be fetching details on the logged in user rather post author.

I hope that helps, good luck.

An easier way would be to take away the ability to allow change of display name. Then it will default to username anyway. Have a look at topic/help-with-basic-command-to-add-new-profile-fields if that’s the avenue you want to take. If you do, don’t forget to set everyones ‘nicename’ back to what their username is.

@Arturo:

That’s great! It would be very nice to release it in public Thanks a lot!

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Yeah! I just pointed it to be one of those things which need to be fixed.

Just get in touch with me when you release it.

[Arturo]

and any time sooner? Ping me if its possible

[Arturo]

@ashfame

thank you!

what do you mean for “glitch”?

i think yes when it’s done, i’ve some thinks to resolve…

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

@Arturo

Nice work mate!

Just a glitch in images of pagination.

Any chances of releasing it in public?

@wemaflo

You are lucky!

[Arturo]

this is my bbpress installation with the new default theme http://forum.buddypress-it.it what do you think?

thanks for the feedback…

[wemaflo]

Yes, you’re right

I was looking for an existing free option… Seems as if I were really out of luck Thanks for the offer, but I will port the Theme by myself

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I just hit the nail, you see

Well if you are looking for free option, then may be you are out of luck but if you are looking fo a paid option, then the sun is under your umbrella

[wemaflo]

@Michael R:

Thanks, but this one is the BuddyPress 1.0 Theme, BuddyPress 1.2.x now oncludes a new default theme: http://testbp.org

@Gautam:

Yes, of course, but I want to run an external forum installation with the same design. BuddyPress has group forums, but there should be an external forum that has nothing to do with group forums.

My site: http://musikinstrumentenbau.net

External forum: http://musikinstrumentenbau.net/forum/

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

@wemaflo

The link that @Michael R gave is for previous version of BuddyPress. (Good Resource!)

But I see you want for the latest version 1.2+

@Gautam is right about installing bbPress within BuddyPress or if you already have one, then you can link that too (I haven’t tried that yet but it should work easily).

And if you want to run a standalone version with BuddyPress for some reason (may be because the limit that forums are within group only), then you are out of luck as nothing exists for now.

[Gautam Gupta]

If you have BuddyPress installed on WordPress, then just install the bbPress component. BP would automatically handle everything.

[Michael]

There is this one: http://manojkumar.org/buddypress-theme-for-bbpress/

Not sure which version of BuddyPress it originates from, however.

[kevinator]

OK, we fixed it. I’ll find out details and post later. See how it looks here: http://www.cwnp.com/forums

Our purpose in doing it is twofold:

1. privacy/security, obvious reasons

2. we just implemented the Leaderboard plugin found on bbpress.org so we can have a participation contest. Leaderboard by default shows username, which in our case is email.

Bottom line is we also require “nickname”, so we’ve used that instead.

Now, anyone know how to make Leaderboard a widget?

Sorry I haven’t found a plugin. I am searching for one.

But Your post should read

---

“I want the bbpress theme to be a custom one, but needs the default theme to be available for some selected categories only. Is there a plugin that allows me to use specific themes for specific categories? “

---

[ajithkpunnoose]

I need to know what the different types of users : Key-Master, Administrator, Member etc can do on the bbpress forums and topics. I searched for about an hour and can’t find a suitable answer. Any post or link will help.

[kevinator]

Similar request here: by default, anyone on any bbPress forum can click on anyone else’s profile and see their email address. Big privacy/security issue. How can you hide/mask all user’s email addresses?

[crobinson18]

@ johnhiler,

1) YES, I still have the problem if I activate the default Kakumei theme.

2) NO, I have not installed any plugins recently.

Thanks for any help!

If you edited any files or are using any plugins or a custom theme, remove those for right now. Did you edit your keys in bb-config.php? Maybe there’s an error there? What version are you installing and where did you get it?

If you are just installing a stock version, chances are it was not uploaded properly. This error does not occur in the default installation.

[bforeste]

Okay – here is my resolution. It only took me a weekend to figure this out.

Media Temple’s default DB CHARSET / COLLATE settings are ‘latin1’ and ‘latin1_swedish_ci’ for WHATEVER reason…

The bbPress db client connection is using UTF8 – which is why I kept getting the database error.

I used this command (because the knowledge base article in MT is incorrect) to update my CHARSET and COLLATE settings for my DB:

ALTER DATABASE db12345_wp CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

That allowed me to finish the upgrade.php script.

Hope this helps someone in the future.
