[Seanerin72]

Hello all, I am currently setting up a website for my classroom (school starts in a month). I would LOVE to set up a class forum for each class. If you look at my site (http://www.blackboarddreams.com) you will see that I have forum links under my sophomore and human condition classes. I can post with no problems! But a couple of issues beyond that:
1. I see in “menus” there is a bbpress sidebar. I have no idea how to actually make that show up on my webpage (ideally homepage).
2. Giving up on the above, I can post the bbpress login widget (currently have it in a footer). Yet, when I logout and simply visit my page, upon clicking the register link I am taken to the wordpress login page with the following in red: “User registration is currently not allowed.” How can I allow registration? Further, this registration is simply to allow my students to access the forum, correct?
Thank you so much!

I am using this version, but it’s not working with bbPress v1.1

Has someone a clue?

<?php

//add target=_blank to post links

function bb_target_blank( $text ) {

$text = preg_replace('|<a (.+?)>|i', '<a $1 target="_blank">', $text);

return $text;

}

add_filter('pre_post', 'bb_target_blank');

?>

I’m having the same problem as kiagua and Andy Smith
WordPress 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2

exactly the same error message, referencing line 1199. Interestingly the warning shows up twice.

Anyway, here’s the whole function which contains that line:`/**
* Adds ability to include or exclude specific post_parent ID’s
*
* @since bbPress (r2996)
*
* @global DB $wpdb
* @global WP $wp
* @param string $where
* @param WP_Query $object
* @return string
*/
function bbp_query_post_parent__in( $where, $object = ” ) {
global $wpdb, $wp;

// Noop if WP core supports this already
if ( in_array( ‘post_parent__in’, $wp->private_query_vars ) )
return $where;

// Bail if no object passed
if ( empty( $object ) )
return $where;

// Only 1 post_parent so return $where
if ( is_numeric( $object->query_vars[‘post_parent’] ) )
return $where;

// Including specific post_parent’s
if ( ! empty( $object->query_vars[‘post_parent__in’] ) ) {
$ids = implode( ‘,’, array_map( ‘absint’, $object->query_vars[‘post_parent__in’] ) );
$where .= ” AND $wpdb->posts.post_parent IN ($ids)”;

// Excluding specific post_parent’s
} elseif ( ! empty( $object->query_vars[‘post_parent__not_in’] ) ) {
$ids = implode( ‘,’, array_map( ‘absint’, $object->query_vars[‘post_parent__not_in’] ) );
$where .= ” AND $wpdb->posts.post_parent NOT IN ($ids)”;
}

// Return possibly modified $where
return $where;
}`

line 1199:`
if ( in_array( ‘post_parent__in’, $wp->private_query_vars ) )
return $where;`

This might sound like a wild hack in the dark but I thought I’d have a go at simply making the second parameter an array, like so:

// Noop if WP core supports this already
	if ( in_array( 'post_parent__in', array($wp->private_query_vars) ) )
		return $where;

and much to my surprise this seems to have solved the problem in as much as the error warning is gone and as far as I can tell so far, the two (private) fora I have set up seem to be running as normal.

Hi,

I was hoping that someone could tell me if there is there a way to display a list of child forums for specific parent using a shortcode?

For example, I have a number of private member forums that visitors need to login to view. I want to have a page that they visit to logon with the list of private forums below.

http://www.blueclouditsolutions.com/asap/
Wordpress version: 3.6
bbpress version: 2.3.2

Thanks for your help.

Steve.

Just read your last 2 post, so haven’t tried anything yet, but I am on Social Engine v3.18. We were going to go to v4 then realized that WordPress would be the better way to go.

Hi,

I’m getting this same error ..

Wordpress 3.6
BBPress 2.4

Warning ..

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in [PATH]/wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\common\functions.php on line 1205

Anyone able to help or suggest a fix?

Thanks

[ricov4]

Thanks for putting so much work into this, Stephen!

I’m really hoping to move everything from SMF to bbPress soon with the launch of a new WordPress site. Let me know how I can help, whether it be testing or anything else. Eagerly awaiting for the rest of the forum aspects to work in your import 🙂

With lots of appreciation,
Ryan

Nice…

2) The best way to speed up the conversion is to run it locally rather than on your remote host. For some of the bigger sites I have converted I setup a local install which allowed me to tweak some RAM settings and use local fast hard disks which helped a great deal. One of the larger conversions I actually setup a 4GB RAM drive for all the MySQL data and that really made things hum along quickly. Once it was complete I dumped the MySQL database to a file and FTP’d it back up to the remote host and imported it ‘ready to go’ so to speak.

1) As for importing passwords I will get back to you on, I have three new importers (Drupal, MyBB & PunBB) that I need to get this sorted out for and I will be looking into ‘getting this right’ over the next couple of days. The bbPress1 passwords were easy as they are already an actual WordPress password so they are basically just copied from bbPress -> WordPress.

For reference and closure; this issue was a BP one and has been resolved in this ticket:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7332/
and will be included in the recently released BP 1.8.1

Now I cannot create any new topics and I could not reply to this topic. I had to create this new account just to be able to reply. Can someone look into my account issue? A bit frustrating that there is no other support options besides these forums but I do understand.

@netweb Thanks! I did try Chrome, FireFox and IE initially and it was the same thing.

Here is my question.

WordPress 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2

I have bbPress and BuddyPress setup on a multisite network with sitewide and group forums. Is it possible to integrate the group forum with a multisite site?

ie.-
XYZ BuddyPress Group = http://mainsite.com/groups/xyz/forum
XYZ Blog = http://xyz.mainsite.com

Can the group forums integrate to the site? So if a post is made on the site it will show back on the group page or if on the group page it will go back to the site?

If that is not possible, is it possible to at least display the group forum data on the subsite with a shortcode or something?

Thanks for any help!

WordPress 3.5.2, bbPress. Under Profile there is a generic image. How do you upload your photo to your profile? And how do I set size/mb limits on the upload?

[SickSquirrelTwo]

I run WordPress 3.5.2 with bbPress and the Members plugin. I need a plugin that sends me email on every post, not just comments

I previously ran phpBB which had this feature, and I need it.

I just had to click 15 separate categories to find a new post, which I didn’t find, even though the author emailed me to say he posted.

Hello,

I installed the bbPress and created 3 different public forums.
These 3 forums are used for medical issues: Nutrition, Physiotherapy and a Pulmonary doctor consultant.
Each forum is managed by a professional for the specific issue. That’s why i created 3 different users in WordPress and changed their permission to “Moderator”, But when each one of them is logged in to the admin,he/she can enter topics or Reply section and change other people content.
Is there a way to associate user to a specific forum where he only manages his own content? In other words, the user doesn’t have access to other forums in the admin and doesn’t have access to edit forums in the website which he is not associated with.
Can s2Member be one solution? if yes, how? i really got lost with the tutorials about that or just couldn’t find a good one.

Thanks,
Nir

Upgrading with WordPress 3.6, admin screens all show this error:
Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/mydomain/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1199

What is the impact?
What is the fix?
Thanks

How deeply integrated is 2.0+ version of BBPress?

Will I be able to use WordPress functions (ie get_post_meta()) in bbpress?

Using wordpress is not overkill. Think of wordpress as an overall operating system where you have registration and login abilities, different roles for different users, spam filters like Wangguard. Then you use bbpress as a plugin for your forum.

How can you not want the user system if you have a forum?

WP is not overkill.
