Nice one JJ,

ticket is here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2185

Phew… glad that wasn’t just me going mad!

[John James Jacoby]

Happy you figured it out. s2Member and other capability manipulating plugins have a tendency to conflict with bbPress and the way it handles roles and capabilities. I think some fixes went into s2Member to improve this, but it’s possible there’s still more issues to work out.

[John James Jacoby]

Does the 2.3 beta fix this for you?

What plugins besides BuddyPress are you running? Is one of them conflicting?

[pjv]

The answer to my question about which template is being rendered (at least in my case) was `page.php`.

That’s `page.php` from your theme.

So if you, like me, want to do things to the main template in which the bbpress forums are housed, you can use `page.php`.

If you, like me, want to do things to that template ONLY for bbpress stuff, but not for other “pages” in your site, you can use the php function `is_bbpress()` in that template to render conditional html based on whether it is a bbpress page or not.

This seems like amazingly basic and obvious information that I was only able to discern by gritting my teeth and putting bbpress into the text editor and reading through A LOT of code. If this information is documented somewhere easy to find, please enlighten me so that i can perform the requisite face palm. If it’s not, why not?

This is untested by me, but digging through some more code, it looks like you might be able to create a custom home-base template for your bbpress forum by copying the original `page.php` into a new file and naming it any of:”
`’plugin-bbpress.php’,
‘bbpress.php’,
‘forums.php’,
‘forum.php’,
‘generic.php’`

[John James Jacoby]

You’re correct, `is_bbpress()` should be what you’re looking for.

[pjv]

looks like it might be `is_bbpress()` that i am looking for. will report back if that doesn’t work.

EDIT: yup, that was it.

[pjv]

using bbpress 2.2.4, wordpress 3.5.1

I want to make some conditional changes to my main template depending on whether it is rendering bbpress forums or the rest of the site.

something like:
` if (this_is_a_bbpress_page()) :
div class=”abc”
else :
div class=”xyz”
endif;`

Is there something like that this_is_a_bbpress_page() function?

[rossagrant]

Just to update on testing too, I have fully tested this now and can recreate it on all of my installs and a brand new install of BP 1.6.3, WP 3.5 and BBPress 2.2.4.

Admin can post @mentions freely, but regular BP members (assigned participant role) can’t without that error in the log appearing.

The @mention still works as it should but I can’t for the life of me see why it’s throwing that error.

I’ve tried it and get the same result on 3 separate servers now too. I have tried it with BP-Default and NO plugins except for BP and BBPress.

If you guys need me to test anything else at all, please shout up.

Should I create a ticket in TRAC?

[pjv]

I agree the lack of basic, getting started documentation for CURRENT bbpress is pretty frustrating. Just a basic roadmap of how the plugin works and which template and functions files are the key ones for making basic changes would be very helpful. A high-level technical overview of what is what and where.

For example, does anyone know which template is being rendered when I go to my-site.com/forums? More importantly, can anyone give me the rosetta stone so that I could figure something like that out myself at a glance without having to read through a ton of code?

[rossagrant]

@johnjamesjacoby Cheers JJ. I’ve just tested with bbpress2.3 beta 1 and I still get the same behaviour.

Admin can use @mentions and no syntax error appears in the error log.

As soon as a regular participant does, then they get this error:

`[29-Jan-2013 12:51:38 UTC] WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘http://www.mysite.tv/members/admin/’ rel=’nofollow’>@admin mentio’ at line 1 for query SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = ‘reply’ AND post_status != ‘trash’ AND post_author = 40 AND post_content = ‘Now testing @admin mention in a forum post.’ AND post_parent = ‘9865’ LIMIT 1 made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-includes/template-loader.php’), do_action(‘template_redirect’), call_user_func_array, bbp_template_redirect, do_action(‘bbp_template_redirect’), call_user_func_array, bbp_post_request, do_action(‘bbp_post_request’), call_user_func_array, bbp_new_reply_handler, bbp_check_for_duplicate`

Only happens with participants.

Can you replicate this in your error log at all?

[anallabres]

I have read the whole ‘Roles and Capabilities in bbPress 2.2’ thread but still not sure if there is a way of adding new forum roles.

I’ve got groups of people answering members questions and I want them to be identified by their expertise (ie. Mentor, Advisor, …) to know how reliable is the answer.

Is it possible?

Thanks!

[anallabres]

I have the same problem with the role ‘custom titles’. I am using the string swap plugin but need to add some more roles and can not see the way. Any idea?

[Stephen Edgar]

I hope the silence wasn’t too deafening 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

There will be an update to the vBulletin import tool released with the upcoming bbPress 2.3

[Stephen Edgar]

You can also get the correct settings from your phpBB config file via FTP to your site or via your web host file manager for your phpBB install. /public_html/phpbbv3/config.php

`// phpBB 3.0.x auto-generated configuration file
// Do not change anything in this file!
$dbms = ‘mysqli’;
$dbhost = ”;
$dbport = ”;
$dbname = ‘my_phpbb_database_name’;
$dbuser = ‘my_database_user_name’;
$dbpasswd = ‘mypassword’;
$table_prefix = ‘phpbb_’;
$acm_type = ‘file’;
$load_extensions = ”;

@define(‘PHPBB_INSTALLED’, true);
// @define(‘DEBUG’, true);
// @define(‘DEBUG_EXTRA’, true);
`

Copy the $dbname, $dbuser, $dbpasswd & $table_prefix values from this file into the bbPress import settings

[Stephen Edgar]

Its rather impressive to say the least, extremelly well integrated with your theme.

I particularly like this topic showing what an awesome bbPress topic looks like 🙂

Cheers,

Stephen

[John James Jacoby]

No worries. Here you go.

[Stephen Edgar]

From a Google cache of your phpBB site as your site is offline at the moment

Mensajes totales 34077 | Temas totales 6981

The 34077 is total posts and this includes topics AND replies so:
34077 – 6981 = 27093
Topics = 6981
Replies = 27093
(These numbers will be inaccurate as they are from Google cache)

[anickers]

Anyway, I solved it my way.

 

Thanks

[anickers]

Why  no one is replying, I am looking for someone pro with bbpress shall take this question as challenging and reply me. I would glad to offer him/her thanks.

[anickers]

How did you manage, the two path?

[iosqar]

Can you told us how can you solved your problem? I have the same prob.

thanks!

[nubc]

So I found a fix for my error. I downloaded the user role editor and found that all of my permissions had been changed for the subscriber. Changed them back to allow forum access and it’s been working just as before.

[moebis]

beta1 of 2.3 now allows image embedding.

[moebis]

He’s right, the new beta1 is looking good. You can also now embed images (notice the new icon, looks like a tree):
