Hi Zaerl,

Thanks so much.
I have found the answer for myself actally.

Yes, I love the fact that bbPress is not obtrusive!
It almost doesn’t matter at all how I am trying integrate BuddyPress here.

So this narrow downs to customise bbPress template when installed as a plugin to WordPress.
The answer is here: https://codex.bbpress.org/legacy/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/ 🙂

It appears strange to me though.
Why does this guide belong “legacy” documetation?

I agree. In fact GD BBpress Tools doesn’t work very well. It doesn’t add a quote link to every post, only selected posts, and I have no idea why.
In any case…quoting replies is really a basic function of any forum.
Hope to see it in the upcoming versions.

How do I hide my bbpress version? I can see it from firebug

[dwbroad]

I have created a forum and can register a new user and log in using the short codes. I can also go to the forum page and post new topics, etc.

http://www.davidbroad.co.uk/flac/forums/forum/forum/

My only problem is when the user is logged in and on their Dashboard page when they click ‘Topics’ or ‘Reply’ in the ‘Right Now in Forums’ box they get this message:

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page. apart from this it seems to be working, but this is obliviously going to confuse some users..

I’m using WordPress 3.4.2 and bbpress 2.1.2

Thanks,

David

Anyone have any idea how to fix the problem that generated this error message:

bbPress database error: [INSERT command denied to user ‘dbo251638404’@’74.208.16.147’ for table ‘bb_posts’]

INSERT INTO bb_posts (topic_id,post_text,post_time,poster_id,poster_ip,post_status,post_position,forum_id) VALUES (‘14733′,’

how about now?

‘,’2012-10-31 18:51:07′,’521′,’184.174.187.66′,’0′,’6′,’7’)

PM is a standard forum feature. When should we expect to see it added to the bbPress plugin?

Hello bbPress experts,

I have searched through the forums to find some means of restricting user access to content and it looks like some of the solutions revolve around a Membership plugin that exists.

The issue with that is several things, we’re not using User Roles. We’re trying to integrate with the MemberMouse premium plugin and users created via MemberMouse are not assigned roles in wordpress. This makes it useless to restrict access via User Roles. We’re also developing it on Thesis which seems to have a plethora of issues with bbPress regardless (so we have setup the compatibility plugin).

However, MemberMouse does have user levels and tags to call them via wordpress functions. We can restrict other types of content with means like

is_user_logged_in() && mm_isMembershipLevel(2)

So we were looking for a means to hook into the forums to create conditional statements like this.

For the time being we are hooking in the meta box and assigning an ID whether its public or restricted. Unfortunately we couldn’t find any solution letting us hook into the meta box and create restricts using traditional methods like described.

As such, we are injecting javascript to rewrite html elements for users that do not pass restriction, which is occurring after the page loads. We’ve spent a lot of time on this and would be interested to find out from bbPress veterans if there might be a hook or init function we can connect to, in order to make restrictions not role based but member based using the means provided by the MemberMouse plugin.

Hello, I am newbie to bbpress. I want to setup software manual page like http://codex.bbpress.org/. It has owner, contributors on right side. How can I do it?

[OMD2]

I’m using bbpress forum and holding all submissions for moderation. Users are complaining that they get no feedback whether their form submission was accepted or not. Upon hitting submit, the form just turns blank and that’s it. Is there are way to have any sort of feedback: like “Your submission is being held for moderation” or a similar message?

Thank you very much for helping me.

[Charly_ZA]

The item won’t appear in the menu. I can go to the forums if I type it in manually. These are the steps I took: 1. I created a new menu item called forums 2. I added a custom link to the forum 3. I saved the menu

[Kr3m1in]

No solution yet… I just ended up getting ip.board.

If there is a solution to this issue, I’d gladly switch back to bbPress.

[zeaks]

Wondering if it’s possible to change what the “Code” button outputs on the bbpress editor (html and visual). I want it to use [code] instead of < code .

Either that or is there a way to add a new button to the editor?

Hi, I’ve been having trouble with bbPress, first I couldn’t post a new topic without getting referred to “This Topic Has Been Closed”. So I thought it might be a theme problem so I changed theme and now it’s stuck to that theme and wont let me go back! I haven’t touched the following or any code for that matter, does anyone have any ideas, really need help with this! Thanks,

You can import BuddyPress data from http://example.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-converter

It supports BuddyPress forums as far as I know.

[zaerl]

I’m glad but yours is a workaround the problem. Maybe in future release bbPress will reconsider the FORCE INDEX.

[zaerl]

1) Create a bbpress.php file in the root directory of your theme (or archive-forum.php).

2) bbPress is a plugin and so every single function that are include()d are automatically available on the global scope. Take a look at the bbpress() function.

3) By testing. bbPress isn’t obtrusive and at 99% it will not raise problems.

It has been a week now.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can achieve this?

[LabSecrets]

Actually no.
Event though it’s not maybe intuitive… the point is that you are creating and setting the default “slug” for bbPress to use, and then this slug needs a menu item in order for someone to point to it (obviously they could type in the url directly, but no one would know that).

In sum: You don’t need to create a page. You should “not” copy the bbPress files to the forum folder… what you should do is:

1) Visit forums page in bbPress link of dashboard and set the sitewide-forums slug to whatever you want;

2) Use this slug in the appearance/menu creator to add this slug to any menu you wish (primary navigation, whatever…) with the format of: “/slug”. So, if your domain was “http:/something.com” and your sitewide forum slug was “sitewide-forums”, you would create a new menu item using “/sitewide-forums” or if you prefer absolute urls “http://something.com/sitewide-forums&#8221;

Cheers,
spence

Thanks for the help but isn’t that just creating a link to the forums in the navigation bar? Is there a way to treat it like a page? Simple press does it like that. I don’t like simple press and I want to change to bbpress. I have it installed on my website at tbolmc.com/wordpress.

[tamarazuk]

[SOLVED]
First I’d like to thank villagora and zaerl for their help!

I have realized that the issue was that I had set the CPTs Forums, Topics and Replies to “Translate” in WPML settings. It was probably something I did when I installed bbPress and overlooked the fact after during my debugging.

For anyone else who is trying to run WPML and bbPress together please note that Forums cannot be translated with WPML. Instead, you must create a separate forum for each language.

Cheers!

i posted this in the install forum and i’m thinking that’s the wrong place for it.

i have a BuddyPress 1.5.6 forum with about 1,600 users and i’d like to convert or import those members and their posts into a bbPress forum.

i like the simplicity of bbPress and that it will work on a page of my website’s theme, so the look and feel of the forum is the same as the site.

i’ve searched here and have read about importers in the works for different forum software, but not for a BuddyPress to bbPress conversion.

thanks for any suggestions! eric.

Hey folks, I had the same problem as you all. With no solution forthcoming, I dug down into the code and used a bunch of debug_zval_dump() statements to see the actual SQL.

The problem is that the code is producing this query to find out whether or not you have subforums:

SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_parent = 31 AND post_status IN ( 'publish' ) AND post_type = 'forum' ORDER BY ID DESC

But the status for your private subforums is ‘private’. You want to see this:

SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_parent = 31 AND post_status IN ( 'publish','private' ) AND post_type = 'forum' ORDER BY ID DESC

I found this on line 1287 of bb-common-functions.php:

    $post_status = array( bbp_get_public_status_id() );

That line of code is what puts the ( ‘publish’) list in the SQL. I changed it to:

    $post_status = array( bbp_get_public_status_id(), bbp_get_private_status_id() );

Now my subforums are showing up correctly. To see if this fix would have any adverse affects, I created a public forum, added a private subforum and logged out. The private subforum was not visible. Seems like this fix worked for me.

If you don’t have access to the actual source code, I’m afraid you won’t be able to do what I did, but I wanted to share that for those who do. Perhaps somebody can make some sort of plugin to help everyone else. I’m actually not a PHP guy and hardly know what I’m doing at all and I’m new to bbpress as well. If anybody comes up with anything better, I’d love to see it!
