Hi,

I’ve installed bbPress on my site at http://www.thebridesboudoir.com/forums/

I’m in the middle of tweaking the templates now after copying them all to my Theme folder. I mainly copied the opening and closing tags from my current themes full width template into each file or am doing thatm, but testing when I go to the main forums, everything is thrown an inch or so to the right? It’s fine when I click on a Post to read te post details.

I have a few tweaks to make yet to the styling e.g. the post titles are too small, but could someone tell me why the main forum look would be skewif?

The other question is, what is Keymaster and how do I hide that. I prefer not to have the admin label in peoples face when I’m using the forums. I assume Key Master is another word for Admin and I don’t like the sound of it. Can I change that and where?

I note on some forums that you can create user roles and wondered if thats possible with bbPress and where that would be changed also?

Thanks for help in advance.

I like the way the forum is mixing in with my site with just a few changes here and there already. I’m surprised I’ve got this far as I’m hopeless with theming etc. Initially I installed and it took my side bar template as default and had sidebar featured and I preferred a full width forum theme, so copied the files to my theme directory. I’d be grateful for the help or hints on how to fix the front page to get it in line.

Thanks. That worked like a charm! 🙂

As a first goal I would like to be able to alter the content of each reply shown on the topic page. So actually that would include the lead topic post (in bbpress terms the OP is the topic and subsequent posts are the replies, yeah?)

I think I would also need to know the reply’s ID and whether it was the first reply. If I can get a basic template for that I reckon I can get going with the rest 🙂

There are two plugins I built for e107 and I would like to have a go at bbpress 2 versions. One is a ‘Thanks’ plugin, so I’d need to eg add a “thank this post” button to each post, and show a user’s ‘thanks’ count next to their name.

The other is an adense plugin which popped an ad unit inbetween the OP and first reply.

Many Thanks.

My original code snippet above is wrong. I had copied out of a plugin I wrote and it has a syntax error (extra parathesis) from ripping it out of a class.

If you use the snippet @jshultz provides, that should be correct. You should be able to place it inside your theme’s functions.php file.

Do not place anything (or modify at all) inside the /bbpress plugin folder, as you will lose all changes when you update bbPress.

@jshultz:
Bacuase of no idea about php: where exactly should i place you code in the “functions.php”?

And what about removing the following lines from bbpress?…

Viewing 2 posts – 1 through 2 (of 2 total)

It’s funny, because almost every bbPress gig I’ve worked on the clients want forums like this – or specifically, almost exactly like what Lynq came up with (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/customising-bbp_list_forums-last-poster-block/). So far they have all changed their minds when they find out its actually going to cost money to achieve this format, vs something that is just built in. However, it’s definitely something I’d like to see. @johnjamesjacoby – what are your thoughts on this? Having a separate theme? bbPress compat hierarchical? etc We can at least get a trac ticket for this in place and maybe that will jump start some activity 🙂

I am using Search bbPress https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-bbpress/. Initially, I didn’t post it on there because there is a total of 5 topics their entire shelf life with one resolution (resolved by the same user who created it). But I did just submit it there because I’m not entirely sure if it’s bbPress’s engine or the plugin.

I guess I’m trying to figure out if it’s a matter of how it’s finding the results, how it’s displaying the results, or how bbPress stores them. I assume it’s probably not bbPress itself at this point.

[Jared Atchison]

Search “bbPress moderation” on the WordPress.org plugin repo – there are some plugins that will help moderate and deal with email notifications.

Currently in bbPress 2.1.x there is no support to have specific moderators on specific forums, etc. However, this is in the works for 2.2, so this functionality will arrive this year.

[Jared Atchison]

You may need to contact WooThemes via their support forum and see if they have a bbPress compatibility plugin much like many of the other frameworks do.

When I search using the bbPress search plugins (both of which do the same thing), my search results don’t include a hyperlink or info to any of the forum topics. It just includes the breadcrumb of the topic and says “viewing 0 posts”.

Here’s the link to the results: http://www.compusoftdevelopment.com/forum/?s=toolbar

You’ll notice of course that there are no actual posts showing up in the columns and rows below it. The only way to get to the topic is by clicking on the date it was posted where it says “1 week ago“. This is kind of an important feature, and I’ve deactivated my themes search.php file to isolate the issue and make sure it wasn’t my theme causing it.

Oh I just thought it’s a short code which I can paste or change just few things. Thanks anyway! (at least the front page of forums looks nice 🙂 )

It’d be great if you could submit a trac ticket.

The theme template.

It’s not so much CSS as it is HTML. In this case I’m not able to give you the necessary CSS without first taking a long time to set it up myself and figure it out. I would recommend you hire someone to do it for you.

[Jin_ls]

Do you mean wp theme template or bbpress theme template? Can you tell me what should I write into the CSS file? I need some help, coz I don’t know CSS well, I could copy you the code, just tell me which file you need.

Thank you

I’ve done a bit of research on the current state of Syntax Highlighter support in bbPress 2. These are my findings thus far:

The “official” syntax highlighter plugin, Syntax Highlighter Evolved, does not yet support bbPress, and unfortunately the plugin does not seem to be well supported any longer. I still put a request in:

• http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/
• http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-syntaxhighlighter-evolved-please-add-bbpress-2-support?replies=1

The best option available at the moment appears to be the Crayon Syntax Highlighter.

• http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/crayon-syntax-highlighter/
• http://ak.net84.net/crayon/crayon-with-bbpress/

Do note that at the time of writing, there appears to be a slight hickup with the WP backend upon activating Crayon with bbPress already installed, so you might want to wait for the patch. But other than that the plugin seems to be working marvelously, it’s packed with features and the developer is actively supporting it.

Alternatively, for the WP-Markdown users, there’s an enhancement available for those who prefer Gorbatchev’s highlighter over Prettify.js (might wanna try that on this forum).

You will have to modify the theme template files in order to get all sub forums to match up.

[mostafaqanbari]

all of forums have topics, and i want to have a “show all topics” section in my website. for example i have two forums called forum1 and forum2 and forum1 have 3 topics and forum2 have 5 topics. what i want is when users click “show all topics” button my website show them 8 topics. how can i do that? i have bbpress inside of buddypress installed.

Updated bbPress.org to bbPress trunk so we get the user-profile templates coming in bbPress 2.2. A few things:
* Profiles now broken up into distinct sections.
* @-style mention links to content areas (See: @johnjamesjacoby, @jaredatch, @netweb, etc…)

Hiiiii

Can I convert My Forum in bbpress, I want convert my forum to buddypress !

can I do it ?

Please Give me solution

[Jin_ls]

Thanks, it helped with the main forums, but when you click on anything on the forums the sidebar goes down again, do you know what to do?

Thank you

[John James Jacoby]

Punting several tickets to future release to get 2.2 out sooner. 2.2 will focus on user profiles and user roles and capabilities.

[John James Jacoby]

You may want to update your bbPress 1.0 forums to 1.1 first, then try again.

[fpatten]

Currently my forums look like this.

What file do I need to edit to make them look like this?

I’d like to remove the break before the forums description and the user info.

WP v3.4.2 and bbPress v2.1.2

I’m just using [bbp-forum-index] & [bbp-topic-index] on a Forums page.

[Starejosel]

You might try the plugin: bbPress Email Notifications
I’m not using it, but I think that I once looked at it, and it does what you want.
