Hello,

I am just wondering if this is how it suppose to work. I was testing the user’s page in bbpress and I update my bio and when I hitted the update profile button it seemed that it worked ok. Later on I was in my WordPress user profile when I noticed that most of my settings were reset to defaults. I shouldn’t updated my profile through bbPress? Or there is a bug?

Thanks,

PS: I am using WP 3.4.2 and bbP 2.1.2

Dear netweb Thank you for your information. I came up with how to make favorites page but I will still wait for the sharing of the codes as my clients are asking for more and more customization of the bbpress forum as they uses the forum daily bases.
thanks again for your information.

Here are the pages I looked at

http://www.ausdrumline.com/forum/
http://www.ausdrumline.com/forum/topic/marching-bass-guitar/
http://www.ausdrumline.com/topics/

I’m not sure why it worked previously, but it’s definitely a theme conflict that is messing up the display. I see this frequently with users who are using complex themes and/or frameworks.

I could get in touch Pagelines and see if they have a fix or a compatibility plugin that will make the theme play nice with bbPress. I’m sure you are not the first person who is using the framework to have this problem.

As a Genesis Framework user, people who use Genesis + bbPress have problems very similar to this, which is why I developed the bbPress Genesis Extend plugin which makes them play nice. Pagelines needs to do something along these lines as well.

Please see this thread regarding the code used here on bbPress.org

What theme does this site use?

Hi Guys,

I have no idea what has happened to my forums – they were up and running fine for a little while but have recently fallen apart on me.

Am running the Pagelines Framework, latest versions of BBPress, Buddypress and WordPress.

Have tried deactivating recently installed plugins with no success. If anyone could suggest what may be going on that would be greatly appreciated

Apologies in advance if I have not provided enough info – if you need anything else, please just ask. I am new around these parts 🙂

Hi,

how do I exclude addthis from my forum posts. There are no addthis checkbox in the post area so I suppose that I have to put some code in the bbpress forum template?

Ok thanks i’ll check it out. Also any recommendations on where I can find someone to do custom work regarding bbpress?

I just installed bbpress – http://www.legalfriend.com/law-forum/

As you will see I have some widgets on the left side from a different plugin. I was able to use the “display-widgets” plugin to remove those widgets on the left side from other pages like:
http://www.legalfriend.com/law-forum/cat/family-law/

But in order to remove it from that page, I need to know the ID of that page. I do not have a separate page for it, as I never created it. It was automatically created by bbpress. Any way of finding out the ID for it?

Does anyone know of a way I could add a CSS class to items that a user has already viewed.

I have some custom code (taken from the bbpress Recent Replies widget) that essentially shows my recent replies on my forum’s home page. This:

         $post_types,
            'post_status'    => join( ',', array( bbp_get_public_status_id(), bbp_get_closed_status_id() ) ),
            'posts_per_page' => $max_shown,
            'meta_query'     => array( bbp_exclude_forum_ids( 'meta_query' ) )
        ) );

        // Get replies and display them
        if ( $widget_query->have_posts() ) :

            echo $before_widget;
            echo $before_title . $title . $after_title; ?>



                have_posts() ) : $widget_query->the_post(); ?>

                    <li >
                    post->ID );
                          $author_link = bbp_get_reply_author_link( array( 'post_id' => $reply_id, 'type' => 'both', 'size' => 100 ) );
                          echo $author_link. ' on';
                          echo '<a href="' . esc_url( bbp_get_reply_url( $reply_id ) ) . '" title="' . bbp_get_reply_excerpt( $reply_id, 50 ) . '">' . bbp_get_reply_topic_title( $reply_id ) . '</a>';
                          echo ''. bbp_get_reply_excerpt( $reply_id, 150 ) . '';
                          echo '' . get_the_date(), get_the_time().'';

                        ?&gt;







            &lt;?php echo $after_widget;

        endif;

is_mb there is just a custom function I wrote to determine whether the page being viewed is the homepage or not. Anyway, I'd love to add a class to the opening LI tag if a user has already viewed that. Any ideas?

Hi, First of all thank you very much for the bbpress plugin.

I like to make a favorites page just like the favorites pages on this forum.

When I managed to make template based on the profile page, the favorites page does not show lists.

Could you share the templeate code of Favorites pages and subscription page of this forum?

I’ll appreciate your help and advise on this.

[ironman]

hi I have the same problem as yours. Did you find solutions to the problem? If you have an answer, please let me know.
I think bbPress’s favorite page is based on the customization of the profile page. Can I ask bbpress team to share the template of the favorite page of bbpress forum?

[zaerl]

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-topic-template.php line 686:

$total = bbp_get_topic_reply_count( $topic_id );

this is erroneous because of this:

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-core-filters.php line 158:

add_filter('bbp_get_topic_reply_count', 'bbp_number_format', 10);

Actually speaking bbp_get_user_topic_count, bbp_get_user_reply_count, bbp_get_user_post_count, bbp_get_forum_subforum_count, bbp_get_forum_topic_count, bbp_get_forum_reply_count, bbp_get_forum_post_count, bbp_get_topic_voice_count, bbp_get_topic_reply_count and bbp_get_topic_post_count are all affected by this bug.

[Jared Atchison]

I’m not 100% sure this is exactly what you were wanting to do, but I figured I’d post this for anyone else for finds this thread.

I released a plugin that basically hides bbPress from all users who are not logged in.

For example, if your forum is at YourDomain.com/forums and a vistor tries to go there who is not logged in, they will be redirected to a URL of your choice (defined in the settings). Also this plugin disables all bbPress RSS feeds and most shortcodes.

So far everything appears to be OK for us, we only need to remember to apply the fix again after every BBpress upgrade until it is fixed officially.

Also just to mention that this bug could occur only on European forums? I noticed something that made me think so: In Greece and most European countries we use the comma (,) as a decimal separator, actually what was happening, it was interpreting 2,033 as 2 replies.

We found that in discussions with 27,300 and 30,156 replies it was displaying 2 pages, because it was interpreting 27,300 to 27 replies and 30,156 to 30

You can just delete the user and assign all those topics & replies to another user.

eg. If your vBulletin username was ‘Anointed’ and that username is the same username you setup for WordPress during the import, bbPress would have created a username ‘Imported_Anointed’ to avoid duplicates etc.

Go to the WordPress Admin -> Users and find the username ‘Imported_Anointed’ and click ‘delete’, the next screen will show you a copuple of options to either delete the user and all posts OR to ‘Attribute all posts and links to’ another username, simply select your ‘Anointed’ username from the dropdown list and all topics and replies will now be merged with your primary WordPress username ‘Anointed’

[Anointed]

I just imported my vbulletin forums into bbPress.

Question:
I want to take all the topics and replies that were added to vbullletin(now bbpress) under my old username and merge those topics and replies to my current username.

Is there a tool to do this, or do I need to do a direct mysql query by hand?

[fcastro72]

Hello i have a problem.
I’m using bbpress with Buddypress 1.6.1 when a user goes to the forum pages , can see all the tags even if they are related to private forums so when he clicks on a tag referring to a private posts he has an error (no topics found)
Is possible to filter the tags or only showing the public tags?
Thank you
Fabio

Pippin’s plugin is actually at http://pippinsplugins.com/bbpress-mark-as-read/ and it is free.

It is still missing the functionality of new topic replies (from last visit) and automatically taking you to the last unread reply inside the topic.

Thanks for working on this zaerl!

[Jared Atchison]

Filed a bug report in trac – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1974

Will hopefully get a patch soon have this fixed for 2.2 🙂

Thanks for reporting the bug!

[matrixd]

Hello again, finally after John’s helpful tip, I was able to fix the issue. I found where BBpress does the number formatting and disabled it. In wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-functions.php I changed this line:

function bbp_number_format( $number = 0, $decimals = false, $dec_point = '.', $thousands_sep = ',' ) {

to:

function bbp_number_format( $number = 0, $decimals = false, $dec_point = '.', $thousands_sep = '' ) {

This removes the comma from the thousands separator. No all topics pages appear correctly. Thanks!

Hello John, thank you for your reply. It sounds logical that this could be the reason, but we can’t find an option to change the number format (for example from 2,033 to 2033). We have searched all the options in BBpress and WordPress but we could not find it.

Could you give us more info, how to change it?

Thank you in advance.

Closing as this is basically a dupe. Continue posting on https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/unread-posts/

[Jared Atchison]

Sorry I misunderstood what was going on, thanks for the link. First make you are running the latest version of bbPress, then switch bbPress to using the bbp-theme-compat theme instead of bbp-twentyten. See if that fixes it 🙂

If it doesn’t then we will have to start making edits to your site theme.

@renai42 – Thanks for the feedback. The great thing about bbPress being open-source is you’re able to fix the things you don’t like on your own with Subversion patches via our Trac.

Sorry you’re finding the CSS to be complicated. There are some compromises we made to be able to make bbPress as good as it can with every possible WordPress theme available. As such, some CSS rules are more strict than others, and we tend to have things wrapped in ID’s to allow groups of content to be styled and/aggressively reset.

The staff here are volunteers, every one of us. We operate under the assumption that if you’re in the code, asking code questions, that you’re comfortable taking on something new and foreign. I’ll defend the code here though, since bbPress’s code is nicely documented and orderly.

Volunteer community members represent the project, but they also represent themselves. If someone’s made you feel bad, that’s between you and them. We’re all adults here, and it doesn’t benefit anyone to talk above or below anyone else; when it happens, it weeds itself out pretty quickly.

Regarding CSS specifically, it’s in the name: it cascades down. This means you’re able to add whatever rules you’d like in the stack, and the browser will interpret those new rules in kind. If it’s not obvious enough to you, that just means you learned something new today. That’s not anyone’s fault, or anything that anyone should be upset about on either side.

Again, thanks for your feedback; if you’d like to talk privately about a specific matter or person, contact me privately (a Google search should bring up multiple ways to do this.)
