Hey amanda, I found my own similar solution to this…. see the thread below!

Hide Editor

I’ve for the most part figured this out. I created a new page for the topics list (similar to bbpress front-page) and used [bbpress-topic-index], changing the displayed posts to 50, then also created a new page for creating topic and using [bbp-topic-form] I new have my topic form. Next I added a nav link with the btn class and good as gold!

I’ve been following the updates to user roles in BBpress, but I think I’ve got a problem that may actually be a bug.

My setup is WP 3.5 multisite with BuddyPress. I have BBpress activated only on the main site. It’s not available to the subsites at all.

It seems however, that network members are being added to the subsites with the user role of participants. It doesn’t happen on all the sites, but I haven’t been able to narrow it down to what and why.

Generally speaking, the users don’t need to be added to the subsites since they are all just blogs anyhow and buddypress handles all the networking stuff associated with that. The issue is that the user’s My Sites menu in the WordPress admin bar for all those user seems to continually proliferate with with websites as they get added to them. It doesn’t seem to be a situation where the user visits the site and gets added as a participant (note, they are not added as a subscriber). The issues does not effect the Sites tab of the user’s BP profile. It is only the menu bar.

I keep getting messages from users saying that they aren’t users of the other members blogs but they keep showing up in the list. If this is intended, it creates a rather awkward user experience, and how do I turn it off? If its not intended, say so and I’ll create a trac ticket.

It is a known problem:

Thank you Hansaplastique!

Looks like first function (bbp_mce_override) overrides bbPress tinymce settings and then uses mce buttons same as they appear in the backend (which can be then modified easily).

After upgrading from WordPress 3.4.2 to 3.5 and bbPress from 2.1.2 to 2.2.3. The private forums are inaccessible for both admin and regular users.

I am using the Twenty Eleven theme. I also tried with the new Twenty Twelve theme, same thing.

Any ideas?
Thanks

I am running the latest WordPress and bbPress. Few days back everything was ok. But somehow I am noticing that when making new replies, it’s not showing up in frontend single topic display. It’s showing up after few hours I guess. But it’s normally showing in admin area. There is no caching plugin installed.

Some weird behaviour:
1. The reply count is showing on topic list page. But not showing on single topic.

2. Showing on widget, but their order is not right.

Not sure whats coming wrong.

[Hansaplastique]

I’ve used the following code to remove some buttons for non-admins.
This will keep your normal editor in the admin pages as they should stay, yet visitors of my bbPress forum can only use a few buttons.
You can find a list of “standard” buttons in tinyMCE here.

Place this code in the functions.php file of your theme.
(ps. I’m no expert and pretty new to bbPress – but this worked like a charm for me)

function bbp_mce_override( $args = array() ) {
$args['teeny'] = false;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_mce_override' );

// *********************** CUSTOMIZE TINYMCE BUTTONS FOR BBPRESS *****************************
if (!is_super_admin()) // remove buttons for non admins
{
function add_tinymce_buttons($buttons)
{
$arr_size=count($buttons);
// remove blockquote, kitchen-sink, full-screen and the more-button
$remove_these=array('blockquote','wp_adv','fullscreen','wp_more');

for ($counter=$arr_size; $counter>=0; $counter--)
{
if ( in_array($buttons[$counter],$remove_these) )
{
unset($buttons[$counter]);
}
}

// add the "image" button
array_push($buttons,'image');

return $buttons;
}

// Erase the entire 2nd button bar
function add_tinymce_buttons_2($buttons)
{
unset($buttons);
return $buttons;
}

add_filter('mce_buttons', 'add_tinymce_buttons');
add_filter('mce_buttons_2', 'add_tinymce_buttons_2');
}

[Hansaplastique]

I’m no expert (and pretty new to bbPress), but this is how I forced tinyMCE for bbPress 2.2.3 to use my stylesheet for content.

You’ll need a CCS file with your preferences of course, and add the following code to functions.php found in the root of your theme – in my case I’m using the CSS of my theme.
This will also apply the selected CSS to the editor in your admin pages (for Posts etc).

function tinymce_other_css_for_content( $init ) {
$init['content_css'] = get_bloginfo('stylesheet_url');
return $init;
}

add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'tinymce_other_css_for_content');

Is it possible to have an email notification go out to all existing forum members for each new topic, once that topic is approved by forum moderator?

[Stephen Edgar]

I am currently looking for feedback on the vBulletin importer and this issue has been raised previously in our bug tracking #1991.

At the moment I am working on updating all the forum importers for the next major release of bbPress and waiting and seeking feedback from more users as this still appears broken for some and not others but as I don’t have access to vBulletin myself I cannot test this directly myself, let alone the different versions etc

I would be more than happy to take a look at this for you and make any fixes as needed.

Drop me an email to stephen@netweb.com.au and we can discuss it further.

[AllenPayne]

Hey everyone,

I converted my vbulletin forum to bbpress and everything works fine except the redirection of the old urls part.

I want to redirect old vbulletin urls to the new bbpress ones using .htaccess but i have no idea how to do it. I’m still new to URL redirection.

Old vBulletin URL:

http://www.forum.site.com/showthread.php?80-post-title

New bbPress URL:

http://www.site.com/forums/topic/post-title

Can anyone help me? I would really appreciate it.

[Lynq]

Nothing on the profile pages or single topic views yet… but potentially in the future 🙂

[John James Jacoby]

Neat. Any other changes? To profile pages, single topic views, etc?

[Lynq]

Hey all,

I thought I would have a go at creating a quick and easy theme for people to get started using bbPress. This was built fairly quickly using one of my other themes (which are based off the default bbPress files).

If you want to check it out then have a look at: http://www.epicwebs.co.uk/content/bbpress-theme-invision-or-phpbb-feel or check it out on github https://github.com/EpicWebs/bbPress-starter-theme-epicwebs.

The theme allows you to get more of a phpBB or invision look to your forum. It uses the functions I posted previously on bbPress.org along with some css to get the forum looking nice by installing the theme. The forum should be pretty fluid so it will fit any width of site.

Good luck, I hope this helps!

[AllenPayne]

I would like to add that it the Ultimate TinyMCE editor works well with wordpress posts…It just doesn’t work with bbpress anymore (after last update).

[AllenPayne]

@John James Jacoby

Ultimate TinyMCE buttons show up now after using your code but they don’t work.

I just created a new bbpress post and used the Ultimate TinyMCE’s buttons to make some text bold, change the font size, color, underline, etc.. and when i submitted the post only the bold text remained unchanged. All my other formatting (font size, color, underline) was not preserved and was lost after submission.

Please help.

[bruceleebee]

I am also having this problem.

Any solution to this?

[anthonyluth09]

Is there anyway to do a similar index appearance (not theme just overall function appearance) as bbPress forums? I like the ease and simplicity of it, the default look with Pagelines sucks!

[anthonyluth09]

bump -> this doesn’t even work anymore as bbpress is no longer a standalone….

[anthonyluth09]

How was this passed? just through the bbpress css or?

[rewindcaz]

I’m running into an odd problem, I need to apply some custom changes to the base forums page/index, which would be easy except for this issue: If I try to get the url, title, or any value of the index page, it uses all the values from the last Category in that forum. To further clarify, if my 4 main categories of my forum index are:

– Forums –
Basketball
Football
Volleyball
Tennis

And on this index page wherever I use echo the_title();, it will show “Tennis” instead of “Forums”. It does this for ANY wp variable/function etc. The Forum Index simply uses the values of the last category. If I change the order of the categories, or add a new forum, the forum index values will change to the last descending forum. This is making it impossible for me to print specific information out on the forums index page.

Anyone have any idea what the issue is that’s causing it? I’ve played around with permalinks, pages, posts etc… it always does the same thing.

[rewindcaz]

The closest thing I could find is:

echo get_the_title($post->post_parent);

However, that only grabs the parent from one step back in the bread crumb. I need to get the “main” or “base” parent of all pages/threads under the parent. Say the forum structure is like this:

Forum > Tennis > Tutorials > Thread Name 1

The set “parent” in that is “Tennis” (bolded above). Is there a way I can print that main parent for all bbPress pages?

[rewindcaz]

All I want is a way to print the name of the parent category for any given bbPress page from the header.php file of my theme.

I need something as simple as:

echo forum_name($forum->forum_parent);

Although that doesn’t work for me. Anyone know how to get the parent name? Thanks!

Hello.

Before I install bbpress I want to check out some common things:
1. Is there any reputation or award system? I found only solution for buddypress not for bbress – http://bbpress.org/plugins/?ps=award
2. Can registered bbress users comment usual WP posts?
3. Is it possible to check any statistic of each user post number last day\week\month
4. Is it possible to make custom post types? For example to collect specific statistic or to use different page templates for each of them?
5. Is it possible to manage URLs? For example I don’t want to have *forums* or *post* in URL etc.

Thank you.
