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.

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?

[Gautam Gupta]

bbPress 2.0 (the plugin) has built-in support for tinymce. I guess bbPress 1 would not see any more feature additions.

[pimarts]

bbPress uses the default WordPress registration page.

DOMAIN/wp-login.php?action=register probably works.

[scheena]

I just wanna ask, how did you add the latest discussion at the very top? Im kinda a newbie about this

[vibol]

I was troubleshooting an issue with a rather large migration to bbPress (1.6MM posts) and bbPress 2.0.2 is very slow to load thread pages.

It looks like bbPress (WP_Query) is trying to do an unindexed query lookup:

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

The query takes quite some time and does a full table scan:

# Time: 120518 19:23:53

# User@Host: db[db] @ localhost []

# Query_time: 9.688145  Lock_time: 0.000050 Rows_sent: 3  Rows_examined: 1623367

SET timestamp=1337387033;

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS  wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts  INNER JOIN wp_postmeta ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id) WHERE 1=1  AND wp_posts.post_type IN ('topic', 'reply') AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'closed') AND ( (wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_bbp_topic_id' AND CAST(wp_postmeta.meta_value AS CHAR) = '787852') ) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date ASC LIMIT 0, 25;

Here’s a simple stack trace:

Hi there,

I’ve looking for a solution to show below one of my blog pages a topic discussion from bbpress forum. The problem I have is that this page has the Visual Editor off in order to write PHP inside for my convenience.

So I can’t use the shortocodes there and neither the php code as it appears in the plugin templates. Because the code has to make a loop to show all the discussion for this certain topic I think it is not possible to integrate a PHP code for that on my own PHP code…

Any idea about this?

[sakthikannan]

Dear All,

Looks like customizing messages is not working. The following are the steps that I tried:

1. Install Buddypress

2. From the BP Forums settings page, choose to install Sitewide Forums; BBPress is installed

3. Installed poedit; open bbpress.pot and saved as bbpress-en_US.po; changed the entry say line num 466 from started the topic… TO started the question…

POEDIt automatically created a .mo file.

Moved both po and mo file to wp-content/languages

changed WP_LANG to en_US in wp-config

Restarted the machine

4. Create a new topic; still the old entry started the topic is diaplyed in activity stream

I’ve done the same steps for buddpress-en_US and customizing messages works in BP.

Could anyone please help me troubleshoot this.

FYI, I’m using default theme of Buddypress

Thanks in advacnce

[serulin]

I’m surprised that BBpress doesnt have a visual text editor. Are there any plans to create one or have support for integrating existing ones like tinymce/ckeditor ?

I’m currently using bbPress Post Toolbar and find it kind of lacking.
