bbPress 2.2 roles and capabilities (according to Members plugin)
While we are waiting for the documentation, I thought this might be a handy reference:

jjj want me to create a ticket in trac for this? I have some suggestions on how to improve this so it works with other membership plugins?

[Darren Ethier (nerrad)]

which of course means that ANY plugin that adds users to different roles than what bbPress expects won’t have a default forum role applied.

[Tristan]

Not exactly what I was looking for. I was hoping to get the “New Topic” button to work on the main forums page (this may not be bbPress as it appears (non-functional) without bbPress being installed.)

[Darren Ethier (nerrad)]

because s2member adds users to their own role and the map being referenced in bbp_get_user_role_map() doesn’t account for the s2member roles. So to fix I just added s2member roles to the map.

[Haboukra]

I had the same problem mentioned above. I installed User Role Editor (I use s2member), and I checked everything exactly like they suggested in the s2member-forum, and the result is that Users can see the forum, and they can publish topics and replies, but they can’t see the topics/replies written by others.
It also doesn’t matter whether I manually set the role to ‘participant’ or even ‘keymaster’, the only one who can see everything is the admin.

Does anybody else have this issue?

[John James Jacoby]

Any idea why bbPress’s bbp_set_current_user_default_role() function isn’t working?

[Darren Ethier (nerrad)]

kk I updated the plugin referenced in the gist above (load the filter earlier via plugins_loaded). You’ll need to leave the plugin I added live, but it will handle new s2member registrations AND eliminates the need to visit tools->forums

[dallasclounch]

@chibichiii how did you get it working? In Buddypress profile under “forums” it doesn’t show topics they have created… or anything about forums in the activity. You fixed this?

[projetRSSMO]

Okay, so I tried modifying a few CSS lines with the display: block; command but either it brought no change or it just made it worse. It is probably a conflict between CSS of my theme or another plugin. Since it is not crucial that members can edit their post, I set the time to 0 minute so they just can’t edit anymore.

The installed plugins display issue is still there though, but it already was with the previous bbPress version. I can live with that!

[Darren Ethier (nerrad)]

confirmed… new s2member users DO NOT have a bbPress role added. Gonna modify the plugin I referenced above now.

[Darren Ethier (nerrad)]

hmm … sorry if it’s already in this thread but do new signups in s2member (for various s2member roles) get the default bbPress role added (if that’s selected in the bbPress forums options)? There is an “Auto role” checkbox in `options-general.php?page=bbpress` that when checked is supposed to automatically assign default roles to new, registered users upon visiting the site…. I’ll have to check into that and see if new s2member registered users get that default role…

[rossagrant]

nerrad, that is fantastic, and thank you so much for sharing it.

So if this assigns roles to existing members, how do we deal with new sign-ups?

JJ, do you reckon this is a future-proof solution?

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress purposely forces the editor into ‘teeny’ mode. You’ll need a plugin to change that, which is possible to filter out.

[John James Jacoby]

@rossagrant – it already tries to do that, via: Settings > Forums — Auto role —

“Automatically assign default role to new, registered users upon visiting the site.”

Basically, that bit looks for users with no bbPress role, and automatically gives it to them (without interfering with existing WordPress roles.)

I think the problem comes from having modified the bbp_participant role previously in the database, and bbPress not using those modified caps any longer. (Just a guess.)

bbPress moved away from “editable roles” in 2.2, since plugins like s2member and Members allow for manipulating bbPress’s roles in such a way that safe updates to bbPress are pretty much impossible; the moment we change our capability mapping, this all blows up.

Going forward, bbPress uses dynamic, secondary roles, that won’t interfere with any other capability or role on the site. I.E. a user can be a forum moderator and a blog editor, or a blog admin and and a forum participant, or no role on the blog, and a key master in the forums.

This type of setup is best for 95% of installations, but anyone that’s relying on roles in the DB are currently stuck (like we see here.)

One possible solution is to just let your database roles override bbPress’s dynamic roles. You can unhook most of those functions, but I don’t think that’s advisable for the long term, because you’ll lose any capability updates going forward, leaving some users in limbo when new features are introduced.

But i’ve Ultimate TinyMCE… Present in wordpress editot… But i don’t see in bbpress :/

[John James Jacoby]

The UI on BuddyPress’s end hasn’t been updated yet. If you have bbPress installed, and are using it to power your group forums, the BuddyPress forums component should be completely turned off.

It’s possible there’s an issue with BuddyPress 1.6 in this regard, but there wasn’t in my testing. I’ll take another look around.

[John James Jacoby]

Maybe related to Jetpack 2.0. I’m not able to duplicate this issue with just WordPress and bbPress installed.

[caneblu]

Hi@all
dont know if is my installation or not.. After upgrading BBpress 2.2 editor users (role author) can’t use Editor because is not available and tabs Visual and HTML also not working .
As administrator works fine…
I have on my theme some shortcodes integrated into MCE. Just try to deactivate it but no success. If i shutdown BBPress all works back.
Any suggestions?

[John James Jacoby]

Will there be a core solution for this with bbpress?

If its a bbPress bug, then yes. It’s likely an issue with bbPress using multiple user roles, and it being a foreign concept to most other plugins.

[John James Jacoby]

Can’t tell if this is spam or not. It doesn’t sound like it has anything to do with bbPress.

[dallasclounch]

I use iMember360 Membership plugin and experiencing same issues with our users not being able to click on topics (page not found). I will try out the plugin thanks @mmaunder.

Will there be a core solution for this with bbpress?

[Darren Ethier (nerrad)]

Posted a fix for s2member issues here -> https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-for-users-of-s2member-and-bbpress-2-2/

[Darren Ethier (nerrad)]

There’s roles issues with s2member and the new released version of bbPress 2.2. I created a small little plugin that along with the “repair” tools bbPress makes available applies new roles to all the existing users you have with s2member roles.

Go here for the plugin -> https://gist.github.com/4120493 – make sure you read the instructions at top of file.

Thanks so much @jmdodd!

I had some redirect code in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php, which redirected user straight to the forum page when they clicked on a group, instead of the group’s homepage which a lot of our users found confusing.

I just had to change the last line from “forums” to “forum” and that seems to have done the trick.


function redirect_group_home() {
global $bp;
$path = clean_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
$path = apply_filters( 'bp_uri', $path );
if (bp_is_group_home() && strpos( $path, $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['home']['slug'] ) === false ) {
$bp->groups->current_group->status == 'private' || $bp->groups->current_group->status == 'hidden') {
if ($bp->groups->current_group->status == 'public' || ($bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member && $bp->groups->current_group->status == 'private') || ($bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member && $bp->groups->current_group->status == 'hidden')) {
// bp_core_redirect( $path . 'forums/' );
bp_core_redirect( $path . 'forum/' );
}
}
}


@johnjamesjacoby feel free to toy around with website and test the installation. The link is in my previous post. I’m not using S2members though, but User Role Editor. I still need to do some more thorough testing before I move all this onto my production website.
