[Robin W]

these are the files you are after

bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php and
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

[hanza3]

I’m looking to do something relatively simple – move the tags in a single topic post up under the title, rather than under the search bar – their default position.

I’ve been going through to files to try and figure out where this code would be but since there are so many files in default > bbpress I was hoping to get some direction on where to find the relevant code.

Thanks!

[Robin W]

you can never guarantee that every plugin will work with every other plugin or combination of plugins and settings.

suggest you :

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

Hi @robin-w,

I managed to get this to work with this code
I needed a custom role and I also needed to reorder it in my legend. This code made it work

//BBpress Custom Roles // 
function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if( $role == 'bbp_lead' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
 
function custom_capabilities( $role )
{
    switch ( $role )
    {

[Robin W]

The 2nd function assumes that you only have the default roles.

Put this first and it should work ie

//BBpress Rename Roles //
     /* BBPress Renaming Roles */
    add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names' , 1);
    function ntwb_bbpress_custom_role_names() {
    return array(
    // Keymaster
    bbp_get_keymaster_role() => array(
    'name' => 'Administrator',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() )
    ),
    // Moderator
    bbp_get_moderator_role() => array(
    'name' => 'Moderator',
    'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() )

It’s under the title “Forum” in the bar/header; I think is to default for all but I can explain better if you dont understand.

[wpturk]

I use this to change default Profile URL (author link) to my custom Profile Page URL.

How can I also change mention links to my custom profile page url?

Hello,
I’m trying to rename the current roles as well as ADD new roles. When I add the filter to change the current role name, it doesn’t add the new user role I’ve added. If I remove that code, then the new user role shows up.

This is the code I’m using.

//BBpress Custom Roles // 
function add_new_roles( $bbp_roles )
{
    /* Add a role called tutor */
    $bbp_roles['bbp_lead'] = array(

    return $bbp_roles;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_new_roles', 1 );
 
function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
{
    /* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    if( $role == 'bbp_lead' )
        $caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
    return $caps;
}
 
add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );

[Robin W]

would love to find the time to write it!!

Like all open software bbpress relies on users to make it successful, and I’m not a bbpress author, just a user who got into it, and I wrote much of the ‘getting started’ guide as I installed my first bbpress site.

If you want to help, then as above the key start point is the templates. Mapping these into a user understandable chart would be a great start, so go to

bbpress/templates/default/bbress/content-archive-forum.php
This is the first template called, and all the functions and templates you want to use will cascade from here.

[Robin W]

It wouldn’t be the same ticket thread. Perhaps I’m not explaining myself clearly.

The previous comment was spam promoting a dentist site which I have deleted, so ignore that.

On private groups.

You would set up a group say called ‘users’

You would set up two forums – one public where public posts can be posted as per standard bbpress, and then one that belongs to the private group ‘users’ which you set up above.

Users are joined to users group either manually or by default.

You then enable topic permissions opn the private forum, and set the topic permisisons for that group to Create/edit OWN topics. Users will only see their own topics and any replies posted.

If just keymasters are responding, then they will see all topics on that forum. If others will be responding, then set up another group and make them able to see the whole forum.

[bhammondCVL]

No worries–I am looking forward to a nice weekend myself. Here are some more, possibly useful, details:

I installed bbPress on another, far more generic, site and got the same behavior–bounced messages to no-reply@site-name if any user had subscribed to a forum or topic.

I installed the plugin “bbPress Custom Topic & Reply Notifications” by Pippin Williamson and got its customized notifications, but also the no-reply bounces.

I deactivated that and installed “bbPress Notify (No-Spam)” by Vinny Alves, which said it provided the ability to override bbPress’s default subscription functions. Using this plugin seems to have resolved the bounces.

So it would seem to be a problem with bbPress’s subscriptions functions, and not a conflict with some other plugin or some other site-specific oddity.

[w3215]

Thanks. Something that truly gave a clean interface (like gutenberg or medium.com as mentioned) would be ideal. But if there are not currently options for that for the bbpress text editor, are there options to improve the editor from the default?

For example, to make it comparable to the text editor for ‘Discourse’ forum sites? (like https://discuss.reactjs.org/ or https://discuss.atom.io/).

I have heard there may be a way to turn on the tinyMCE toolbar in bbpress, which is an improvement.

However, I’m new to wordpress, but that seems to normally go along with a text editor that gives the writer two less than ideal options: a (i) “visual” option with the tinyMCE (the problem being it strips away a lot of formatting–for example removing tabs if you paste code in) or (ii) the basic “text” option, which is not great for a general audience bc it requires the writer deal with stuff like tags and html-jargon. Its also confusing to give users two different options that seem to do the same thing but in slightly different ways.

So, if a Gutenberg-like experience is too much to ask right now, is there anything around that can give users the straightforward toolbar experience of the “Discourse” text editor?

[Partizan]

Hi!

I have similar issue here but i can’t figure it out if this step by step guide is ment just for new forum installations?
I have already existing forum with some content and can’t change the page where its shown. I followed method 1 and got it to show on new page but links are not rebuilt – they always show to original forum root no matter what i name it.

Problem is that forum by default uses wrong theme page template and i would like to change that but can’t except if i show forum on a page done with method 1.

Some ideas or a method to solve this issue?

Thank you.

[Dggerhart]

So rather than passing back over disabling all of the other plugings (there were only a few, anyway) I flipped this over.

I disabled BBPress. And re-enabled it. Which then took me to the settings page, which I saved with defaults.

The issue no longer exists … I was able to open Forums, the Drafts, edit and publish.

Sweet. Glad to be in here with you-all.

I’m very excited about how these tools can support our community.

Very best,

[patbell101]

[New topic] opens TinyMCE on the Text tab. My users think HTML is a government department 🙂 so can I default it to open on the View tab instead?

[Robin W]

here is fine.

ok so is this a new site? has it worked before and stopped working?

What has changed – have you added a plugin upgraded plugins or done anything to themes.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

[ericross]

I think this could work try this code, may be it works.

1- Please add following code to Quick CSS in Enfold theme options under General Styling tab

.single-topic #bbpress-forums {
margin-top: 0;
}
2- They do not show up on the bottom by default. If you would like to show, please add following code to Functions.php file in Appearance > Editor

add_action( ‘bbp_template_after_single_topic’,’bbp_bottom_pagination’ );
function bbp_bottom_pagination() {
$output = bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘replies’ );
return $output;
}

ok so leave in the code that you have – that will make the default into date

then add this

function rew_forum_freshness_link( $forum_id = 0) {
	echo rew_get_forum_freshness_link( $forum_id );
}

function rew_get_forum_freshness_link( $forum_id = 0 ) {
		$forum_id  = bbp_get_forum_id( $forum_id );
		$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_active_id( $forum_id );
		$link_url  = $title = '';

		if ( empty( $active_id ) )
			$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_id( $forum_id );

		if ( empty( $active_id ) )
			$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_id( $forum_id );

		if ( bbp_is_topic( $active_id ) ) {
			$link_url = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_permalink( $forum_id );
			$title    = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_title( $forum_id );
		} elseif ( bbp_is_reply( $active_id ) ) {
			$link_url = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_url( $forum_id );
			$title    = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_title( $forum_id );
		}

		$time_since = bbp_get_forum_last_active_time( $forum_id );

		if ( !empty( $time_since ) && !empty( $link_url ) )
			$anchor = '<a href="' . esc_url( $link_url ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $title ) . '">' . esc_html( $time_since ) . '</a>';
		else
			$anchor = esc_html__( 'No Topics', 'bbpress' );

		return apply_filters( 'rew_get_forum_freshness_link', $anchor, $forum_id, $time_since, $link_url, $title, $active_id );
	}

and where you want to show a ‘since’ freshness link change

bbp_forum_freshness_link() to
rew_forum_freshness_link()

You should put any amended templates into your child theme

come back if you don’t know how to do that

When I change to any default wordpress theme the issue seems fixed. I thought It is something related with the theme

sorry, can you be clear, this is JUST using the search box on forum pages – yes ?

if so

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

thanks robin-w, I tried that plugin, changed a user back to Participant, the permissions listed for this user now indicated they can read_private_tocpic, but in effect they could not. I tried ” Remap existing users to default forum roles”, but no success.

Hello

My participants cannot view or reply to private topics. Administrators/keymasters seem to be able to.

I’ve installed bbPress version 2.5.14, and Members Version 2.0.2 plugins. When I look at the participant’s role it:

can read_private_forums
cannot read_private_topics
cannot read_private_replies

and I cannot edit this role: “The Participant role is not editable. This means that it is most likely added via another plugin for a special use or that you do not have permission to edit it.”

I tried deactivating plugins one by one to see if I could edit this role. I thought by default Participants could read and reply to private topics…

Thanks for any help
