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.

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.

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?

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!

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.

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?

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.

setup your args and pass them to the bbp_breadcrumb function

The migration guide changed drastically from December 4th to December 8th.

If you used the guide before the 8th and you’ve backed up your database, revert back to what you had previously and try the guide again.

The meta_value (70) for group id (7) should be the ID for the wp_posts row for that forum.

[Dougal Campbell]

Because the rest of my site doesn’t need anybody logging into it. Really, the forums are a completely separate entity from my blog (different topic entirely, very tangential). So it would make perfect sense to make it a separate WP install. I suppose it would just be convenient to manage the plugin administration together with my blog. I’m not sure if that makes a lot of sense to anybody but me. 🙂

I’ll probably just end up installing a new copy of WP. After all, I had bbPress as a separate install in the first place. I was just wondering if I could manage bbPress users separately from the WP site it’s installed under.

 

[Bowe]

These rows are also present and filled in.. I don’t know how to check if the forum ID corresponds with the right forum though.

Check wp_bp_groups_groupmeta for rows where meta_key = ‘forum_id’, and wp_postmeta for rows where meta_key = ‘_bbp_group_ids’.
