Thanks Trent. I’ll delve into those areas an take care of it. But, on my install, somehow, all posts started have “Not a support question” as the default option in the dropdown (I had to go in and manually change all the threads myself once I realized it). Thanks for the help. I’m sure I’ll be able to change it.

[Trent Adams]

By default, all topics are marked as unresolved unless you have manually set them as ‘not support question’ or ‘resolved’. Do you mean the dropdown list? If that is the case, they are not part of the template system (might change in future), but are listed in:

/bb-includes/template-functions.php/

/bb-includes/functions.php

I think you can find what you are looking for in there, but as I said, topics are unresolved by default.

[Ryan Fitzer]

I’ve been looking for a way to start off topics as “Not Resolved” by default, with no luck. Went through all the template files looking for the <select> also to no avail. Any ideas how to accomplish this? (Also, searched the forums). Thanks for any help.

will enable features to give moderators forum specific privileges. This plugin will by disable all privileges for the moderator by default and will need to be given explicit privileges for each forum he needs access to.

The admin menu can accessed by keymaster from Admin > User > Forum Moderators

Trent, since I suspected that the permalinks was the issue, I just disabled it. I replace TRUE with FALSE, which is the way it is by default, and my links worked. But dang it, I wanted to try it with pretty links.

I still get 404 errors no matter what link I click in my blog.

Installed fine. Dashboard and all that stuff in place.

Can go to admin. and all the other places, I just cannot get links to work.

I know in my config file I made sure pretty links was enabled but it doesn’t look like it worked

Here is the default first post link

http://totalphysiqueonline.com/bbpress/topic/1?replies=1

Doesn’t look like a pretty link, does it?

[Trent Adams]

Arrariv,

bbpress can moderate posts. By default, the administrator (key master) can moderate posts and if they go into the admin, you can set other members of your forum as moderators.

I know the yellow is default color of the FAT Library. But I like it in yellow … think this looks nice.

If you want to change it by yourself:

– Open /bb-includes/js/fat.js

– Go to Line 32 and replace #FFFF33 by #E4F3E1

Now it will be green everywhere.

[so1o]

https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#customization-folders

do the default plugin installation routine..

please note that you need site-options plugin and the latest code from the bbpress repository

[ardentfrost]

I thought about that, but there’s two things: 1. post count is another plugin altogether… not too big of a deal, making a function that is commented out by default is easy to do. 2. Post count isn’t a db entry, so to do it I’d have to sort results after I got them (whereas now I do it all with SQL queries).

I do hope to add it in at a later time, I just gotta figure out the best way to do it first

[ardentfrost]

Here’s one I hope you all enjoy.

This plugin and helper files allows you to link to a member list page, which by default displays the username, user title, home page, join date (with some easier-to-read formatting), and I left in some commented out code for post count if you have my post count plugin installed (if not, you might want to delete those lines from memberlist.php).

Additionally, you can click the colum title for Username and Join Date and get the list sorted by that column. Furthermore, if you click the same column again, it sorts it by the column in descending order.

Lastly (and the coolest part in my opinion), admins will see an extra part to the table that will allow you to delete users (as many or few at one time as you want). Users without the ability to delete users will not even be able to see the added cells or submit button.

To see the member list in action, visit http://www.rayd.org/forums/ (the link is at the top). You won’t be able to see the cool admin parts of the table, of course

To download the plugin, visit http://faq.rayd.org/memberlist/

Alrighty, here’s the scoop:

I added <?php do_action('extra_profile_info_display', $user); ?> to my profile.php file, right above the second to last line, <?php profile_pages(); ?>.

In my template-functions.php file, I have the following:

function extra_profile_edit() {

//Globals

global $user_id, $bb_current_user,$bbdb;

// Get dA username, if it exists

$da_username = $bbdb->get_var("SELECT meta_value FROM $bbdb->usermeta WHERE meta_key = 'da_username' AND user_id = '$user_id'");

// Get the user's real name, if it exists

$user_realname = $bbdb->get_var("SELECT meta_value FROM $bbdb->usermeta WHERE meta_key = 'user_realname' AND user_id = '$user_id'");

// Input fields that have a default value of the set variable

echo "

<input

name="da_username"

id="da_username"

type="field"

value="$da_username" />

.deviantart.com

<input name="user_realname"

id="user_realname"

type="field"

value="$user_realname"

/>";

}

And now for the real meat of the thing:

function extra_update() {

global $user_id;

bb_update_usermeta($user_id, "da_username", $_POST['da_username']);

bb_update_usermeta($user_id, "user_realname", $_POST['user_realname']);

}

add_action('extra_profile_info', 'extra_profile_edit');

add_action('profile_edited', 'extra_update');

add_action('extra_profile_info_display', 'extra_display');

My apologies for the length of the post…

[ardentfrost]

This plugin is another simple one. It allows you to set an inactivity limit on threads shown on the forum main page. The default is set to 7 days, and if you like that setting, then all you have to do is put the file in your my-plugins directory. If you want to change it, it’s easy enough (desciption in the readme).

You can download the file and read the instructions at http://faq.rayd.org/bbpress_limit_recent_activity/

You can see it being used at http://www.rayd.org/forums/ (notice how there are no threads in the “Latest Discussion” section whose last post is older than a week).

Enjoy!

[richardjeanderson]

I’ve reuploaded bbpress – makes no difference.

I’ve removed plugin (display_name.php)

I temporarily renamed my_templates folder to return back to default template.

The forum now sits at http://www.learning2goblog.org/forum

Click any of the tags and it takes you to the correct page. Click on the breadcrumb to take you back to tags.php and it dies as described.

All very strange . . . .

[BrendonKoz]

Let me see if I understand the importation scheme you’re hoping for:

1.) One-time import.

2.) Each forum “section” would be a category in WordPress.

2a.) Should a category not exist, it will be created.

3.) Replies to a topic would be created as comments in a blog entry.

4.) Tags (if any exist) would be dropped.

This is going to be simple if I even decide to possibly tackle this. I don’t use either product in production, but have messed around with both of them. The biggest question I have is about users… Obviously, you’ll have users in the forum that don’t exist in WordPress. Would each user need to be created for wordpress, or would all of the imported entries default to a specified user? This would be the hardest (in my mind) thing to figure out and handle.

[thomasklaiber]

It’s your choice where you put ‘show_online_users()’ in your template. I suggest the following way if you use default theme:

– open bb-templates/front-page.php

– search for line 5 – 8:

<div id="hottags">

<h2><?php _e('Hot Tags'); ?></h2>

<p class="frontpageheatmap"><?php tag_heat_map(); ?>

</div>

– replace with:

<div id="hottags">

<h2><?php _e('Hot Tags'); ?></h2>

<p class="frontpageheatmap"><?php tag_heat_map(); ?>

<h2><?php _e('Online'); ?></h2>

<?php show_online_users(); ?>

</div>

– save as my-templates/front-page.php

I’ll fix the database setup and some other things as fast as i can

#edit: new version up, feel free to try it out

[Trent Adams]

Check your Users in WP and make sure they were moved across. It might be that they are not even taking the default role and are not subscribers in WP, but listed in WP. That is the way I have mine setup anyways.

Let me know.

Trent

*EDIT*

Sorry Spencer, you already said they are not moving across. With proper integration, I don’t even have a users table in the database for bbPress. It only uses users of wp_users.

[Trent Adams]

It would be a bug with the default template because it isn’t wide enough for the username, but not bbPress. I could suggest a fix for this, but it would only be widening the left portion and decreasing the right portion of the template. Simple change to the style.css file.

Strange, I wondered about this as well

[YellowSwordfish]

OK sorted it out and yes – as you guessed it was my fault! As usual

I’d pasted the Akismet key into config.php but because it previously defaulted to false I ommited to add quotes around it which it needed. Add the quotes and it installed.

I’m probably not the first with this one and almost certainly wont be the last!

Thanks for your time and effort.

[spencerp]

Nevermind, I’m sorry tonight people.. I’m so behind on sleep, the brain is in bed, but I’m not.. The [Resolved] being added by the “thread titles” was a modification to the WP.ORG forums and so forth.. it’s not by “default” in the download of bbpress..

Is there any chance of maybe having that a plugin or not, maybe? I wouldn’t mind getting a hold of that..

spencerp

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

When logged in as an admin, go to the topic in question, scroll down to the bottom and click “Stick topic”. At least, that’s where it is in the default theme.

[ardentfrost]

Sorry about having to make a change in functions.php, I just don’t know how else to do it.

You can see it in action at http://www.rayd.org/forums2/

You can download the file at http://faq.rayd.org/bbpress_avatar/ (link goes to readme which has link to file).

Don’t forget to change your css file in the described fashion. By default (which, I like this) anything that goes beyond the bounds of the author box is hidden.

[mistainu]

well it’s currently for my own use… i’ve made it veer a little bit off the default K2. minor edits… but if i ever perfect the K2-ness into it… i MAY release it, and post the news here too so yeah. my problem now is getting Livesearch to work in bbPress. anyone can help?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

If you look at the default topic template (bb-templates/topic.php), you will see

<li id="post-<?php post_id(); ?>"<?php alt_class('post', $del_class); ?>>

the alt_class() function gives every other li element a class="alt".

So if you use that function in your topic template, you can put something like

.alt { background-color: red }

in your CSS file.

[yottabite]

I’ve played around with the default theme a bit, and came up with something that keeps the general feel, but adds a prominent link to the RSS page (using CSS), and made the “tag” heading link to the tags page for a bit of added spice. Oh, and I’ve added snazzy stripes to the tag background ala hoodwinkd as a nod in their general direction.

Here’s the URL to the forum posting (also give you a preview of the theme):
