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

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!

John, a trac ticket has been submitted here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1896

[r-a-y]

Did you know that JJJ is also a great acronym to describe this?

Jubilant
Joie de vivre
Jazzy

🙂

[John James Jacoby]

That’s annoying. Can you create a trac ticket over on bbpress.trac.wordpress.org, and I’ll check it out for 2.1.1?

[John James Jacoby]

If bbporg_ is in the twentyten theme, that’s me being an idiot; and I’ll have to fix it in 2.1.1. Can you create a trac ticket over at bbpress.trac.wordpress.org, and I’ll take a look into this more?

Not sure what you are meaning… I have custom WP template written from scratch. And I would like to add bbpress 2.1 template to it. I did what I described above just to see if any result outcomes. I expected to see header-body-footer forum screen (based on my knowledge of template packed in bbp-theme-compat directory). My custom WP template uses header – left sidebar – body – right sidebar – footer. So the difference should be visible (there should not be any sidebars). But I saw just the forum inside my custom theme (with left and right sidebars). In the target design, I would like to have the bbpress designed like here on bbpress.org (with left sidebar).

My custom WP template looks like this: http://poradci-sobe.cz/
My old bbpress forum (1.1) looks like this: http://poradci-sobe.cz/diskutujeme/ (I would like to have the new bbpress 2.1 designed in this way)
And here is how the new bbpress 2.1 forum looks like now: http://poradci-sobe.cz/forums/ (this is not wanted, the “1.1” design is desired but I am not able to theme the default bbpress template in bbp-template-compat root directory

[darkhorse20]

To make things even clearer:

Before 2.1, the feed was showing up fine.

After 2.1, instead of the feed showing up, now it says “The feed is either empty or unavailable.”, indicating the feed is empty. But it’s not empty because the feed is showing up when I view it in my browser.

[Anointed]

You can do this with jQuery

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

$('a[href^="http://"]').filter(function(){
return this.hostname && this.hostname !== location.hostname;
})
.click( function() {
window.open(this.href);
return false;
});

});

Might be able to clean it up a bit and modify it for use with multisite, but it’s a start.

[darkhorse20]

Oops, the code got parsed funky. Basically, I’m using a variation of the code on this page: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/fetch_feed
