By default the reply form/box only shows on the last page of a topic, if it has more than one page. If a topic has 5 pages, and you click reply on page 2, it will take u the reply form, which is located at page 5.

I did a hack in a file to make it show on all pages.

Open functions.bb-template.php and find

$defaults = array(

‘h2’ => ”,

‘last_page_only’ => true

Replace this with

$defaults = array(

‘h2’ => ”,

‘last_page_only’ => false

I’m confident that is not the best way, if someone has a better way, please leave a reply, this method is however working.

What about the theme folders inside of my-templates… are those also 755?

[RahimTSNE]

I gave permission 755 to both directories (see http://i36.tinypic.com/104htg8.jpg) but still not working.

I don’t know the default number of tags… should be straightforward to test.

You might want to try this hot tags plugin, which is much more powerful/flexible than the standard bbpress hot tag calls…

[InvTrdr]

Just an ad on TV. Saw the post. How many tags are posted by default? Or without the code all tags show up by default.

Thanks.

[InvTrdr]

Thanks. It worked. I thought a sticky would be at the top by default.

Then in your theme’s topic-tags.php, change <?php tag_form(); ?> to:

<?php

if( function_exists( 'restrict_topic_tags_form' ) )

restrict_topic_tags_form();

else

tag_form();

?>

Hi everyone, I just started a site that uses WP and BBP together, and aside from a few outstanding issues, things are working out nicely.

I built a theme for the forum that matches the WP theme, and it has a sidebar. When the user is logged in, it shows Welcome [username] and shows the avatar, a link to edit profile, my favorites, and log out.

How can I have if the keymaster/admin/mod is logged in, a link to the dashboard? I tried some code from the default template, but nothing really seems to give me a direct link to admin. Is there a templates tag list for bbpress like the one for wordpress?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

My case is a little different then the search results I had, so a new topic.

As soon as I change my permalinks for bbPress, I get 404 errors for bbPress (even for bb-admin) so I lost control of everything and i had to manually delete the .htaccess file

Now when I switch to the 2nd permalink option then the forum loads up, admin panel is accessible too but any topic page or forum page gives a 404. And now when I switch back to none settings of the permalink everything works fine.

I delete the WP .htaccess too but it looks like that its permalink are working without any .htaccess file

I am a little lost here to what could be the problem.

Also when I delete the .htaccess file, the admin panel keeps redirecting me to the front page until I log out and login again from bbPress side.

I am stuck with the default permalinks option now.

$limit was passed something which wasn’t numeric because… I guess that’s what do_action() does when it doesn’t have any arguments? Doing a var_dump(), it appears to be an empty string, so I guess it just passed the default value of the argument variable.

I found it because I noticed the SQL query wasn’t valid when it was run in phpMyAdmin and then noticed that there wasn’t anything after LIMIT.

I don’t know if there’s any performance gain, but it’s how bbPress code is written iirc and in the case of calling the user table, it’s essential when you’re working with a WP/bbP integration (as the table prefix is different).

So mostly it allows for the table names to be entirely variable, which is probably better practice in case a plugin changes them.

[Justin Tadlock]

I was trying to figure out where I downloaded this plugin, but the author’s site isn’t really up at the moment.

http://justintadlock.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/inactivetomember.zip

What this does is check if the current user (once logged in) has a role. If he doesn’t, it gives them the default bbPress role.

If anyone can find the original download link, mods, feel free to remove the link to my zip file.

I said change the database name since I’m changing it from the default entry in **-config-sample.php to the same database name as on my wp-config.php

I found the error — basically I had copy-pasted the whole database name line, quite unthinkingly; hence the constant was also renamed. Fixed now

[KillerSneak]

would be the best way to take the default WP theme -> and add the BBpress needed functions into it? (and add a few files from the BBpress needed theme) ?

This is the only bad thing about Wp and BBp integration isn’t as smooth as it should be, and the DEV should have had Wp / BBp compatibility #1 .. At the moment they depend to much on community work.

[infected]

@mwaterous: Sorry, now i know what you mean. Yes, you´re right. This is really not what i want to do.

@all: I tested the above mentioned fix once again with the default theme and got it working after changing the css file too… But as mwaterous said: this fix is not removing the brackets. It just fixes the line break between the brackets. I´d like to completely remove the brackets. Where they´re generated?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Replace the code from the default theme in your code and then try.

[frasermassey]

By the way, have tried switching to the default theme which made no difference.

[kirpiit]

The default Kakumei theme shows two variables in the user section of every post, at left.

You can see them both here as well, in this very post.

The first one is defined in the profile page as Display name as and links to whatever appears in the Website field.

The second one is defined in the profile page as User Type (which most often defaults to Member), links to the Profile page of the specific user, and could be changed by the Custom Title field.

How would it be possible to drop the User Type and just keep the Display name as linking to the user Profile page?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I wrote a plugin which will show some data by a mysql query and I am doing it using $bbdb and I hooked it to the post_post_form but the problem is that the variable intended to store the query result is empty.

However if I manually call the function in the template it works fine.

I am using the default theme. What could be the problem?

[Mark]

If your theme doesn’t already have a functions.php, you can create one and add that code to it – it will automatically be found and run by bbPress, and it’s a lot safer than adding it to the core code (next time you upgrade, it will overwrite).

1. bbPress doesn’t have signatures by default, so I’m guessing you’re using a plugin for this? If you are, hopefully the designer has added a filter which you can hook into, but we’d have to take a look at the specific plugin you’re using.

2. You should have a style.css file in your bb-templates/yourthemename/ directory. Find that file, and do a search for ‘textarea’. It should possibly be under ‘.postform textarea’ to be more specific. Look and see if there’s a font-size attribute there, and up the size.

[Ivaylo Draganov]

Hey, anybody still using that plugin? I mean – anybody with a bbPress 0.9 install…

Because I’d like to know if someone can help me with a little improvement. The plugin works great except for that it shows all the pages for a topic. And certain topics have more that 20-30 pages!

So I wonder if it is not too hard to make that plugin display links only to the first page and the last 4-5 pages? Just like the default in-topic pagination.

I wonder if it is possible to port that functionality directly form bbPress 1.0?

Thanks

I installed tinymce using their wiki defaults

however, now on my page when you go to post a topic, it has one textarea that is normal (as if I never installed tinymce)…and then a textarea below it that is for tinymce (all of the bolds, italics, etc work for it)

how do I get rid of the top textarea?? thanks

[nataliya1977]

Hello,

I created a forum on bbpress. As default I selected theme Kakumei. I want to change a look of my forum and decided to find an other theme. I found a theme Crystal. I downloaded this theme from site mybbpress (there is redirection on 33 rockers).

During installation I followed instructions. I read a file readme.txt and put the content of directory Crystal in myforum.com/bb-templates. But after installation I couldn’t find this theme in my Admin: there wasn’t in Appearance, plugins and other places. I read instructions on bbpress.org and put directory Crystal in myforum.org/my-templates too. But the result was same. I can’t find theme on admin of my forum.

What did I do wrong?

[InvTrdr]

If I change the default theme in bbPress from Kakumei to a different one I lose the image uploading ability even though it is an active plugin and works on Kakumei.

Thank you.
