I changed the default length of forum topics (bbp_title_max_length) in bbpress’ core-functions.php, but it seems to have no effect on the length of topic titles. What I’m wondering is if there is some function in Genesis Connect that may be overriding this change, or something else that may be conflicting? Or any other suggestions? Thanks!

I have hosting with a similar company, they seem fine but my traffic is not very large at the moment.

As with all websites, it will depend on the amount of traffic you receive and the level of hosting you purchase from Godaddy.

When I enable the wordpress plugin, I get the following warning:

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-extend-akismet.php on line 693

I think it might be an Issue with PHP 5.4

I have running debian with PHP 5.4.0 an Apache Webserver

I’m using the latest version of bbPress at http://www.mrhensler.com/forums. The forums show up fine, but when I click on them it just takes me to a blank page with a “comments are closed.” Message. Any ideas?

[infolotnicze]

Hello there,

Will bbpress work ok on Godaddy Web Hosting? Will this forum gnerate too much load for a cheap hosting like this?

I’m trying to create the author.php file inside wordpress to display user’s profile, latest blog posts and user’s forum activities. Using the snippet below just returns empty data for each user. I’m sure I’m missing something in the snippet and hopefully someone could point me to the right direction.

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_notices' );



// Subscriptions

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'subscriptions'  );



// Favorite topics

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'favorites'      );



// Topics created

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'topics-created' );



?>

Thanks.

You can look into something like http://pippinsplugins.com/mark-as-read-for-wordpress/ however it will require some moderate tweaks to work with bbPress I believe.

Check out this plugin (for 2.x)

[Jared Atchison]

I’ll let jjj know.

In the mean time, if you are looking for 2.x plugins you should be looking on WP.org.

Hi deathbybear,

The only way I have found to make this happen is to edit the core code provided by bbpress.

I am not sure if this is the right way to go, so if someone else can suggest another way then let me know.

Here is what I have done. I replaced the bbp_list_forums function inside forum-template.php and then inside the loops-single-forum I changed the arguments to enable the last poster.

function bbp_list_forums( $args = '' ) {



// Define used variables

$output = $sub_forums = $topic_count = $reply_count = $counts = '';

$i = 0;

$count = array();



// Defaults and arguments

$defaults = array (

'before'              => '<ul class="bbp-forums">',

'after'               => '</ul>',

'link_before'         => '<li class="bbp-forum">',

'link_after'          => '</li>',

'count_before'        => ' (',

'count_after'         => ')',

'count_sep'           => ', ',

'separator'           => ', ',

'forum_id'            => '',

'show_topic_count'    => true,

'show_reply_count'    => true,

'freshness_before'    => '<td class="last-posted-box">',

'freshness_after'     => '</td>',

'show_freshness_link' => true,

'freshness_author_before'    => '<div class="author-box">',

'freshness_author_after'     => '</div>'

);

$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );

extract( $r, EXTR_SKIP );



// Bail if there are no subforums

if ( !bbp_get_forum_subforum_count( $forum_id ) )

return;



// Loop through forums and create a list

if ( $sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums( $forum_id ) ) {



// Total count (for separator)

$total_subs = count( $sub_forums );

foreach ( $sub_forums as $sub_forum ) {

$i++; // Separator count



// Get forum details

$count     = array();

$show_sep  = $total_subs > $i ? $separator : '';

$permalink = bbp_get_forum_permalink( $sub_forum->ID );

$title     = bbp_get_forum_title( $sub_forum->ID );



// Show topic count

if ( !empty( $show_topic_count ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) )

$count['topic'] = bbp_get_forum_topic_count( $sub_forum->ID );



// Show reply count

if ( !empty( $show_reply_count ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) )

$count['reply'] = bbp_get_forum_reply_count( $sub_forum->ID );



// Counts to show

if ( !empty( $count ) )

$counts = $count_before . implode( $count_sep, $count ) . $count_after;



// Show topic count

if ( !empty( $show_freshness_link ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) {

$freshness_link = bbp_get_forum_freshness_link( $sub_forum->ID );

$freshness_author = $freshness_author_before . bbp_get_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id( $sub_forum->ID ), 'size' => 14 ) ) . $freshness_author_after;

$freshness_link = $freshness_before . $freshness_link . $freshness_author . $freshness_after;

}



// Build this sub forums link

$output .= $link_before . '<a href="' . $permalink . '" class="bbp-forum-link">' . $title . $counts . $freshness_link . '</a>' . $show_sep . $link_after;

}



// Output the list

echo $before . $output . $after;

}

}

Let me know how you get on, good luck!

hey everyone – i’m a newbie at wordpress, bbpress and php – but pretty decent with general html/css stuff.

i’m working on customizing a bbpress installation with the twentyten bbpress theme and want to set it up so on the main “Forums” page there is a Recent Activity column that displays information about the most recent post –

1. the topic the post was made in

2. the poster

3. the poster’s avatar

4. how long ago the post was mad

i have edited the loop-forums.php file to add the additional “Recent Activity” column to to the list of Forums – now I just need to figure out how to pull those pieces of information into the column.

i have created a placeholder column in loops-single-forum.php file where the information will be pulled, i just don’t know how to get it in there – i imagine there are existing functions i can call to pull this data, i just don’t happen to know what those are or where to find them!

any guidance you could give me would be greatly appreciated. thanks a lot!

This looks like an issue with WP_Meta_Query issuing a CAST for all rows in wp_postmeta during the query.

Relevant LOCs in meta.php:

$where[$k] = ' (' . $where[$k] . $wpdb->prepare("CAST($alias.meta_value AS {$meta_type}) {$meta_compare} {$meta_compare_string})", $meta_value);

There are several options to pursue:

* Store thread ids in a separate table and intercept get_meta_sql filter to update the query to look in the correct table for _bbp_topic_id lookups.

* Update WP_Meta_Query to read relevant types from type-specific tables (i.e. wp_postmeta_unsigned) for topic_id lookups. Requires updating mechanisms to save metadata into type-specific tables as well.

What are some other options?

Hi,

How can I rename Topics to Tickets in BBPress? I have renamed the tags as such but would like the actual topics heading to read Tickets.

I also notice on this message system you have a sub menu ‘not resolved’, ‘resolved and ‘not a support question’, which is something I would also like to include.

I am trying to build a Project Management and Support system that includes tickets. I already have a general forum function via Buddypress, so I created a secondary forum page called tickets and included the shortcodes to configure it as a ticket system.

I have looked around the net and here extensively, so forgive me if I have overlooked something obvious.

Thanks in advance.

I have 2 bugs to report. Latest WordPress and BBpress plugin. No bbpress plugins.

1) I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this, but when I update my profile using the front-end profile editor, it resets the “disable visual editor” and “show admin bar on frontend” thingys so that I always see the visual editor (which i hate) and I don’t see the admin bar. So every time, I have to go back to backend and manually change them again!

2) I logged out, after replying to a thread, then immediately logged in on another account. Yellow text appeared above the reply box saying “you are now logged out”. Then I immediately posted a reply with apostrophies in, and instead of posting it, it reloaded the page with slashes added. I manually removed the slashes, hit the post button, and this time it worked as normal.

Anyone else got either of these?

[vibol]

This seems to have the right idea, but I’m not sure it covers WP_Query queries where the search criteria is against a meta key. The query has to cast an unindexed full-text field to char across N rows to find matching values.

The generated query fragment that is problematic is this:

wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_topic_id'

AND CAST(wp_postmeta.meta_value AS CHAR) = '787852'

It’s a core issue since Threads are used to group up Posts.

#1823 should address this.

Hi all,

I have been going nuts as to how I can successfully install bbpress latest version. Well, I tried everything and all just failed.

I downloaded the latest files, uploaded it in my root directory but never I did get the bbpress installation page. I am using latest WP installation (this is the intended URL http://www.easyenglishlearning.org/ask/) but I never got the bbpress installation instructions page.

Moreover, I also uploaded it to my plugins directory as mentioned in the downloading page and I got it in my Wp dashboard but it came just as a plugin and nothing a different forum software where I can change theme, and everything. Now, please guide me.

acousticwebdesign, the “Fancy Editor” (which is using wordpress default editor) is only available in bbPress 2.1, which is still under development.

You might want to take a look

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/milestone/2.1

For bbPress 2.02 user, I recommend you to use Rich Text Editor For Comments which is using jWYSIWYG, although it’s may be a bit hard for beginners to configure it as it lack a setting page.

You can style the editor if you hate the default styling, provided that you know some CSS stuff.

[jogosgratispro]

I couldn’t make it work.

Is this translation regarding admin or front end?

[acousticwebdesign]

Thanks for the reply Jarret, but there is no “Enable Fancy Editor” setting in Settings -> Forums.

I’m using BBPress 2.0.2.

What Section is it under on the settings page (Main Settings, Per Page, Per RSS Page,…)?

[acousticwebdesign]

How do you enable tinymce. I am using bbpress 2.0.2 and don’t see this option anywhere.

Also, users can’t enter anything that looks like xhtml tags. It gets deleted when submitted. How can I enable this as well?
