Hi John James Jacoby

I tried your suggestion with no luck. I experience this issue on a second website as well. Could it be any database configuration settings that is causing this?

Thank You

[Martin]

omg, so am I copying the file bbpress-functions.php into the theme root and then adding this other code at the bottom and then modding the loop-single-forum.php file?

[Lynq]

Ok cool,

Here is the function I am using on one of my bbPress sites (without the modifications).

1) Copy this function from pastebin: http://pastebin.com/xbwfL71X
2) Then paste it into your functions.php file.
3) Inside loop-single-forum.php replace bbp_list_forums(); with custom_bbp_list_forums();

Good luck!

No idea. It’s a bug in the converter from the sounds of things, but I haven’t looked into it.

Try bumping the converter start (_bbp_converter_start) up 1 or 2, and see if it continues on.

[John James Jacoby]

I’ll get right on that copy then 🙂

With great power comes great responsibility.

[Martin]

Oh cool, thx – now moved. Now I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘)’ in /Users/MartinC/Sites/gaj/wp-content/themes/parallelus-mingle/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php on line 43

Warning: missing endblock() for startblock(‘middle’) in /Users/MartinC/Sites/gaj/wp-content/themes/parallelus-mingle/framework/theme-functions/layout-and-design.php on line 137

Still without a clue 🙂

[John James Jacoby]

Close. 🙂

theme/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php

…is all you need.

If only had I some idea what you were talking about.

I’ve now finally understood the cryptic comment on formatting that was mentioned previously and that refers to the altered , and “

I’ve created a directory under my main theme directory which is theme/bbp-theme-compat/bbpress and that final subdirectory has now got the file called loop-single-forum.php in it.

Is this what was meant by placing that file under the active theme?

Apologies for not being sharp on coding here. Some comments just go straight over some people’s heads.

Cheers
Martin

Hi Martin,

You should not edit the core code.

Inside your template files is a file called loop-single-forum.php, this file calls the bbPress function bbp_list_forums();

You will notice that it is probably not specifying any arguments it just specifies bbp_list_forums();

If you specify arguments for that function like the ones listed above it will then wrap the subforums inside li tags which you can then use CSS to style.

Good luck!

P.s if you want to find out more about how that function works it is inside /bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-template.php but you do not need to edit it.

Seeing how this will format:

$args = array (
        'before'            => '',
        'after'             => '',
        'link_before'       => '',
        'link_after'        => '',
        'count_before'      => '',
        'count_after'       => '',
        'count_sep'         => '',
        'separator'         => '',
        'forum_id'          => '',
        'show_topic_count'  => true,
        'show_reply_count'  => true
);

bbp_list_forums( $args );

Nice job on the upgrade JJJ!
I like the new look of the site and forums, and I agree with Erlend to include the latest blogpost on the frontpage.

[Martin]

well I get a bit of an error, like so:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS, expecting ')' in /Users/MartinC/Sites/gaj/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php on line 25

Warning: missing endblock() for startblock('middle') in /Users/MartinC/Sites/gaj/wp-content/themes/parallelus-mingle/framework/theme-functions/layout-and-design.php on line 137

Any ideas?
Would have preferred to do it via CSS since hacking the core code will get overwriten but if it can’t be helped then it can’t.

No idea on this error though.
Thanks for any help
Martin

[John James Jacoby]

Added wp-markdown. Let’s see how this goes. 🙂

[Erlend]

I’ll get right on that copy then 😉

[John James Jacoby]

🙂 Eventually. Not *quite* there yet. Need to fill in some copy here first, migrate the codex, etc…

Hi netweb

Thank you for replying.

There is no need to check the ‘_bbp_converter_query’ to get the topic_id range since this is shown in the Forums page where the conversion hangs. But I did that for confirmation. So I removed any funky characters,etc from that range and still I cannot get it to pass that range.

Any other ideas?

Thank You

[Lynq]

I seem to be having trouble posting code to the forum, it wants to cut off the first part of it. Anyone else having issues or is this me doing something wrong?

[Erlend]

I noticed the bbPress ‘About’ and ‘Features’ page could still be touched up quite a bit with some pretty pictures, updated links and such. If you could use a hand with it, let me know.

If there’s no risk of duplication of work, I could just get started on my own and share the finished work as I go, but it’d be nice to know if someone else is already working on this.

Hi Syndicate, the troubles are not things pushed together (will be resolved later by styling). Trouble is that the root template files from /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/extras are ignored moved into wp-content/themes/MYTHEME/. This bahaviour was tested on page-front-forums.php file. Compared to file bbpress-functions.php which is not ignored if moved to wp-content/themes/MYTHEME/. Than, it is not clear to me what to do with directories /css and /js from bbp-theme-compat if I want to use them in my custom theme.

[Stephen Edgar]

In the WordPress database’s ‘_options’ table there should be a field ‘_bbp_converter_query’ and this stores the last executed SQL query that the converter used. Have a look at this query to determine the topic id range and then open up your bbPress 1 database and the ‘_topics’ table to look at the ‘topic_id’ range that the converter is getting stuck at and see if the appears to be any bad/funky/broken data in those topics that could be causing the converter to terminate.

[Erlend]

bump! 2.1 is out, along with a brand spanking new bbpress.org. If there ever was a time to introduce the WordPress community at large to bbPress this would be it 🙂

[Erlend]

Loving it!

Some “could be nice”s:

Frontpage: I think the 1-3 latest blog posts ought to be shown prominently somewhere on the front page.

Forum: Have you considered using the excellent WP Markdown plugin for this forum? I find it to be a really clever, future-proof alternative to bbcode.

Similar error when using 2.1 themeing since updating. In my custom archive-forum.php a call to Is returning the error Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::have_posts() in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-template.php on line 109

[therockhr]

Looks great! On the forums main page though it says “Forums” at the top instead of “Latest Topics”.

[John James Jacoby]

Thanks!
