Hi bbPress,

I’m fairly new to wordpress and bbpress, so some of my points might just be invalid and based on “I did it wrong”… either way.. please help.

I have installed:

wordpress Version 3.2.1

bbpress 2.0

I have create one forum and one topic.

I added the widget “List Forums bbPress” and the widget showed the forum correctly, but the link was bad. I found out refreshing my permalinks fixed this problem.

When I got to my forum I am expecting to see the text I wrote about the forum and all topics associated with the forum. I do see all topics (in my case the one), but the text I wrote about the forum is not visible?

the forum can be seen here: http://cl204.exaweb.dk/TumblingDrills/forums/forum/new-skills

I hope someone can help me,

regards,

Peter

I am enthusiastic about bbPress 2.0, but I am severely missing the ability to restrict access to specific, named forums.

Public / Private / Hidden separation of access is not sufficient for my purposes. I need to have the ability to grant different users access to several distinct hidden forums.

I’ve been scouring this board and the WordPress plugins section for something that is bbPress 2.0 compatible and so far had no luck.

Is there something obvious I’m missing? Any core functionality in the works to make this happen? Any plugins doing that already?

In a nutshell, this is what I need:

Users A,B,C can see Hidden Forum #1.

Users C,D,E can see Hidden Forum #2.

Users A,B cannot see Hidden Forum #2.

Users D,E cannot see Hidden Forum #1.

User C can see both hidden forums.

Administrators can, of course, see any hidden forum.

So, Intense Debate has a plugin that works/syncs with WordPress comments. Would something like this ever work with bbPress?

http://intensedebate.com/wordpress

A key feature of it is “reply-to-thread by email” which would be killer for bbPress

Just curious… since bbpress 2.0 uses wordpress custom posts rather than it’s own dB tables, what would you be expecting of such a skeleton plugin? As far as I have seen, normal WP plugins appear to apply to bbpress 2.0, though one could take advantage of the new post types like forum, topic, etc.

Is there a way to protect, hide or remove the RSS-Feeds of topics and replies?

I’m using bbpress 2.0 and Buddypress for a protected community. Thanks to “private buddypress” everything is protected, even the feeds require a login. Only the BBPress 2.0 Feeds aren’t protected.

I’m using the solution in this thread:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/combining-bbpress-rss-feed-with-wordpress-rss-feed-possible

to combine the feeds into one, which is successfully protectet by the private-buddypress-plugin.

Using this code

remove_filter( 'request', 'bbp_request_feed_trap' );

I can force the forumfeeds to be protected but if I enter username and password I get a weird feed.

Is there a more “elegant” solution to this problem? It would be great if I can protect the original forum-feeds but removing them completly would do the trick too.

Hi

I’ve recently installed bbPress plugin to my WordPress blog and am having a few problems. Wondered if somebody could help me please.

The forum index is fine – added using shortcode to a page on the website:

http://bristolornithologicalclub.co.uk/?page_id=926

But viewing the forum and it seems to use a page template with a sidebar. I would like it full width.

http://bristolornithologicalclub.co.uk/?forum=2011-sightings

As my php skills are non existent I asked the theme developer for help and he came back with the following:

“Yesterday I installed the plugin and checked things. The plugin has many template files and it is difficult to figure out which template is ‘exactly’ used for the forum page. May be they are custom post types/taxonomies.

Further, we will need to implement the full width for topics, forum, author and other such pages. If you could ask the plugin authors about any specific hook, I can help you out further. You just need to ask them how to detect whether the current page is from bbPress plugin. (Any post type or page type hook).”

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Best wishes

Paul

I can’t find any options to change the theme from the default. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

I’m using the bbPress WordPress plugin version 2.0. Does that mean I treat bbPress plugins like any other WordPress plugin?

Thanks for you reply.

What version of bbPress are you using. If’s it’s 2.x it uses WordPress plugins so you don’t need to create a my-plugins folder.

[Kimb Jones]

Hey guys, been using:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-new-topic-notifications/

Which is great for me as the site owner but I’d like my sub-forums to have their own notifications to specific users.

Possible at all?

[phantom.omaga]

Google XML Sitemaps plugins works best with the new bbpress 2 as the new bbpress 2 uses custom post types the plugin recognizes the bbpress forum and add its constant to the xml sitemap and it is also the best wp sitemap plugin there is so just go for it and don’t waste your time with any other.

you can get it at

Hi,

I’ve installed bbPress on my WordPress site and to get the functionality I want I need to add a couple of plugins to bbPress. I created the ‘my-plugins’ folder and put them in there but now what do I do? I’ve had a look through the documentation and it doesn’t mention where in the admin I can activate them?

Any help is much appreciated.

As bbPress follows all WordPress code standards, I am going to assume it is something to do with thesis.

Chris is a great coder so I am certain that he would have no problem coming up with a fix for thesis.

You can view how I added settings for my plugin, within the bbPress options page here (without tabbing, just appends to the options page): https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/bbp-topic-views/trunk/bbp-topic-views.php?rev=449878#L215

The theme on this website is custom and is not yet running the 2x plugin, so no, there is nothing ‘out of the box’ that will look like it does here.

It is however more than possible to build your own custom theme that looks and behaves like this site does. Not easy but possible. Gotta remember, bbPress uses templates in the same was as WordPress does.

[John James Jacoby]

The WordPress core tab UI is built into the header area of the settings page, and consequentially does not have an API to go along with it. The other issue with using tabs instead of new settings pages, the navigation doesn’t appear anywhere else and requires more clicks to get to secondary tabs.

I’m not a fan of nesting options inside so many tabs. bbPress core settings aren’t the place to put theme options. You can use the WordPress settings API if you want to add additional settings that fit side-by-side with bbPress core features. Anything else probably deserves it’s own unique UI and page.

[antonchanz]

Well I can confirm that the latest and compatible versions of both these plugins are now definitely available on wordpress.org

I’ve set up a test forum with pretty much just these two plugins active and you can see the results here:

When i try to publish that, website not showing half of site.

Can you check what is problem?

The change for bbp-common-template.php worked for the logout, but for the login for the widget I had to comment out lines 938 and 939:

//$redirect_to = apply_filters( ‘bbp_user_login_redirect_to’, ” );

//bbp_redirect_to_field( $redirect_to );

I still have problems using the the WordPress meta for log out. Has anyone figured anymore of this out?

[Good in Today]

Well, not really. See there’s smart people here and I was merely using the Welcome Pack as an example. I want to know how to insert the users name into the URL path, that’s actually the question. And since there’s just a few folks here who use WordPress, BuddyPress, and yes bbPress, I really think I’m in the right place to ask smart people questions.

[antonchanz]

Oops!

Embarrassing user error with svn. Checked the project in without adding the files! Then assumed wordpress was being slow updating the plugin page like it was when I checked in the first version of bbpress2-bbcode.

I have checked it in successfully now. It still isn’t showing up, but I suspect it will now shortly…

[John James Jacoby]

Regarding setting bbPress up and changing the “Forums” title to “Discussion” simply make a page in WordPress titled Discussion with the slug as ‘discussion’ and make sure your forum index is set to ‘discussion’ in your forum settings. Done.

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress 2.0 uses the same database and tables as your WordPress blog. Do not scale to plan, plan to scale. I.E. don’t worry about how big you think your forums will be, worry about how big they need to be. 1gig is plenty huge for a DB, and will be difficult to manage without a dedicated sysadmin. At which point, it’s no longer your issue to labor over.
