I was able to get this to work using a custom page.php file, some sql to pull the data and a truncate function to minimize the number of characters replied. You can view the result of my work at: dev [dot] silverdoctors [dot] com/topic/testing-topic/.

The final thing that would be really cool is to have the ability to have a jquery loader that when a button is clicked, would load, lets say, 10 more recent site-wide forum replies. Or even better yet, a jquery function designed to automatically load new content at the bottom of the screen (by appending to a DOM element) when the user scrolls beyond the element, much like Facebook does with their status updates.

Do you know if anyone has ever done something like this with bbPress? Would you be able to guide me as I go through with this next step of adding the jquery?

Thanks a bunch for sharing this snippet. It works perfectly when not conditioned. It’s not behaving nicely with the is_bbpress() conditional logic, so I’ll have to delve a bit deeper into the set of is_ functions you mentioned above, but I should be able to work something out. Thanks again for the help, and for the great forum software.

For those of you familiar with phpbb forums, a very liked feature is the ability to show your unread posts, and also to skip to the last unread reply in that thread.

I have spoken to Pippin, from http://pippinsplugins.com, who estimates that to create a plugin to include these features on bbpress will cost between $350 and $600.

Now my website, which will have a forum migrated to it soon, will require these features, however it is only a hobby website 🙁

So I’m asking bbpress forum owners out there, do you want this plugin? And if yes, would you be willing to contribute to the cost?

I just had a quick question about removing the sidebar.

I changed my forum theme to 2010 (bbpress). The forum now fill up almost the full width of the page. I am using custom community theme mind you.

The problem I have know is the sidebar on the forum pages

The sidebar is now underneath the forum and I was wondering if there was a quick method to removing the sidebar on forum pages.

If there is no easy way, what is the only other way?

Thank you so much for your time!

1. I activated bbPress (Twenty Ten) theme

2. Enabled Group Forums within bbpress settings (buddypress default bbpress wasnt installed)

3. Checked “Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums”

4. Group Forums Parent is “group-forums” and its a category (I also tried a forum for that but it didnt work either)

http://fantastic7.x10.mx/forums/forum/group-forums/

1. A group forum that doesnt work

http://fantastic7.x10.mx/groups/morb/forums/morb/

1. A thread, topic within the same group forum that didnt work and still is

http://fantastic7.x10.mx/groups/morb/forums/topic/actu-tutoc/

1. No plugins activated other than bbpress and buddypress

2. I made the above group forum sit at the forum root. But it was also fruitless

3. selected Forum Root as group forums Parent (the thing that isnt recommended) but it was futile too

4. “Works fine if I navigate to it directly”, I seriously doubt that anyone would do that

Sorry, I should have included this info in my initial post.

I’m using the bbPress plugin version 2.1.1
My theme is custom built using Justin Tadlock’s Hybrid Core version 1.4.0.

I don’t believe there should be any pre-existing theme conflict with the /users/username permalink structure, but obviously there is something that I have overlooked. If I switch to TwentyEleven, I’m not getting a 404 on user pages, so it has to be something related to the Hybrid framework. Hopefully I can track it down.

[aaclayton]

Sorry, I guess I’m not being very clear. The is_bbpress() function already seems to deliver the conditional logic I need. That (I don’t think) isn’t my problem. My problem is getting the proper syntax for removing the actions that add styles and scripts to the head area.

remove_action ( 'bbp_enqueue_scripts' , 'enqueue_styles' );
remove_action ( 'bbp_enqueue_scripts' , 'enqueue_scripts' );

This doesn’t work, nor do some variants that I have tried. Could you suggest the proper syntax for removing the relevant actions, regardless of the conditioning logic employed?

[John James Jacoby]

This is not for bbPress 2.1 and above. You can use normal WordPress pages for this.

[John James Jacoby]

There are a few tags you could use, but the normal bbPress CSS isn’t written to be broken up and conditionally loaded; you’ll need to do that yourself. They are conveniently called is functions:

Hi. I’m new to bbpress and I’m trying to install the front page text plugin but I can’t get it to work. Can someone give me some more detailed guidance than what’s on the page here, http://www.fldtrace.com/wordpress/bbpress-front-page-text-plugin.

I have the plugin installed and I can activate it from the admin account, but when I click on the “front page text” button, I get an error message that says, “There is no administration page at the requested address. Please check the address you entered and try again.”

Any ideas?

[John James Jacoby]

What version of bbPress and what theme you’re using are always helpful. bbPress takes measures to prevent incorrect 404 notices, so it’s likely a theme is resetting those flags afterwards, or it’s a bug.

Hey everyone,

Unfortunately I’m having another minor hiccup in my bbPress 2.1 implementation. I’ve done some fairly heavy modifying of bbpress user profile pages, and somewhere along the line I have induced wordpress to flag profiles as error-404.

My site homepage is http://tamrielfoundry.com, which can be accessed using username=test and password=test.

My own user profile page http://tamrielfoundry.com/users/atropos/ works just fine, no 404.

A different user (who has not made any posts, which could be the cause) gets error-404 as a class in the body declaration. http://tamrielfoundry.com/users/blade/

Regardless, the fact that this content is getting flagged as 404 doesn’t seem to affect the page actually displaying the relevant content, however obviously it would be preferable if I can get the site to recognize user pages for existing users as non-404.

Let me know if I can provide any relevant info, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Andrew

I am still having this issue, unfortunately. Although I worked out enough of the technical details of bbPress 2.1 to port the plugin/templates/css over to the live (development) site.

If it would be helpful to see what I’m talking about you can access http://tamrielfoundry.com with username: test, password: test.

The bbpress CSS + some other scripts are being loaded in the head site-wide, and I can’t figure out the correct conditional syntax to remove them unless is_bbpress() is true.

Does anyone have any idea how I can have members become “Supporting Members” and add a supporting member badge to a single user’s bbpress posts under their username? I dont want to run a full subscription plugin, just a badge to show members that are in an elite group of donating members?

[DramaticBaby]

Got another question. How does bbPress weigh the different templates? For example, if I put a bbpress.php in my child theme root, with the sidebar removed, all pages in the forum misses the sidebar.

However, if I put archive-forum.php in the child theme root, with a removed sidebar, that sidebar pops up on all the other pages.

In what order does bbPress look for templates in version 2.1?

[viktora]

Hi all, it looks like the bbpress is – for some reason – not interpreting the HTML tags in first posts. The HTML tags are visible in the posts themselves and the content is not formated. Replies are OK – HTML formated, tags not visible.

Example here: http://poradci-sobe.cz/diskuse/topic/nef%C3%A9rov%C3%A9-jedn%C3%A1n%C3%AD-poji%C5%A1%C5%A5ovny/

Any idea what is the issue

One small remark – all the forum content was imported from bbpress 1.02 via bbconverter

[DramaticBaby]

Now I finally got it to work. You just copy the bbpress.css file to /my-child-theme/css/ and voilá, it works. When I found out that I looked in bbpress-functions.php and stumbled over this line:

// Check child theme
if ( file_exists( trailingslashit( get_stylesheet_directory() ) . $file ) )
Which states the obvious, it looks for bbpress.css in the /css/ folder in your child theme. If found, it will replace it with the default css.

If any admin reads this, can you please elaborate a bit more on the subject. It is very diffuse how all this works.

Hi, I’m trying to create a custom theme for the bbPress forum. I already got a child theme based on Twenty Eleven, and I’m trying to style bbPress with my style.css in the child theme folder.

The problem is that bbpress.css is imported in the html code after my style.css, overwriting the latter’s styling. How do I force bbPress to use style.css instead, even though bbpress.css is imported after?

I have been struggling with this for hours and hours.

Not sure I understand the problem. Spaces aren’t valid in URLs unless they are encoded.

[John James Jacoby]

You have enough conflicting slugs where I suspect only you can configure your way out of them.

http://fantastic7.x10.mx/forums/forum/group/ – Broken

http://fantastic7.x10.mx/groups/morb/forums/topic/actu-tutoc/page/2/ – Works fine if I navigate to it directly

Could be something with your theme, could be other plugins, or it could be a bug. You’re a bit on your own to narrow things down. I’d start with checking error logs and looking into why the page output stops on the broken links above.

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress 1.1 called those users Bozo’s, though it was often used for spammers, which gave them free-reign on entering content in the database, which was a pretty poor approach.

[gizmogle]

oops – that should read bbPress 2.1.1….my bad

I’m using BuddyPress on a MU environment.

Originally I installed forum in a per group mode. I found the topic organization to be confusing in the group mode, and so now I would like to reinstall the forum with the site-wide option. How do I do this?

I’ve tried to use the graphic interface to uninstall groups and install sitewide – but that didnt work, the group forum would continued to get re-enabled.

So here is what I’ve done so far:

1) I’ve deleted from the database all the tables related to the bbpress.
2) I’ve deleted the bb-config from the root.
3) I’ve edited the group-metadata and group tables to remove references to forum.
4) I’ve deleted the bbpress plugin from the file system.
5) I’ve edited the Settings/Forums to not use groups.

So now after trying to purge all remnants of the forum and then trying to reinstall it – I no longer have a functional forum.

In BuddyPres/Forums, I see the button that says “install site-wide forum” but when I click on it I see a message that the latest version is already installed.

When I try to view my forum, I get a blank page:

http://bhaktiwriters.staging.wpengine.com/forums/forum/bhakti-writers-forum/

When I try to view a new topic, I get the following error:

http://bhaktiwriters.staging.wpengine.com/forums/topic/test-topic/

“Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_id_from_slug() in /nas/wp/www/staging/bhaktiwriters/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-functions.php on line 137″

I’m playing with this on a staging site, so I can demolish everything and start from the point of a working group-forum.

So, any idea how I can convert from group-forum to site-wide-forum? I don’t care about loosing data.

Thanks!

I installed bbPress 2.1.1 as a plugin on WP 3.4.1. When I set a new user as a Forum Moderator from the back end, if he tries to log out, an error occurs. I don’t find a WP Integration panel in the settings. Any hints?
