Is it possible to insert a search form in the forum header? I have tried to create it my theme’s searchform.php with these code :

<form id=”search” name=”searchform” method=”get”>

<input type=”search” id=”ts” name=”ts” title=”Search Topics” placeholder=”Search Topics” />

<button type=”submit” value=”search” id=”searchsubmit”>Search</button>

</form>

<form id=”search” name=”searchform” method=”get”>

<input type=”search” id=”rs” name=”rs” title=”Search Replies” placeholder=”Replies” />

<button type=”submit” value=”search” id=”searchsubmit”>Search</button>

</form>

The first one search for topics when in a specific forum (e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/forum/test)

The second one search for replies when in a specific topic (e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/topic/this-is-a-test)

The problem is, I just want the first one to appear in “/forums/forum/test” and the second one in “/forums/topic/this-is-a-test”. Where should I insert those codes?

Or do anyone here have a better idea to make a search form? I tried to make a bbpress search-by-categories page but I’m kinda stuck.

If you’re getting an error message talking about memory it is nothing to do with bbPress compatibility

[jmessick]

I was experiencing a similar problem. Sometimes I couldn’t get the page to load at all. Other times the main page would load but other pages would not. I contacted tech support for my host (gator) and asked about increasing PHP memory. They actually came back with the answer that I was not using a theme which was 100% compatible with bbpress. Switching to “bbPress (Twenty Ten) 1.2 by WordPress and bbPress teams” seems to have taken care of the problem.

I would suggest that if you are getting white screens on some or all of your webgsite after activating the bbpress plugin that the first think to do wo uld be to make sure you are using a bbpress compatible theme.

I found that if I go do wp-admin and then to Forum/Topics – and then click “Edit”, I’ll get access to add tags.

Can I some how add this to the forum topic’s thread to add tags as I can do here at bbPress.org?

This is the code there:

I think this is the form start:

<form name="post" action="post.php" method="post" id="post">

Then comes this:

<div class="tagsdiv" id="topic-tag">

<div class="jaxtag">

<div class="nojs-tags hide-if-js">

<p>Add or remove tags</p>

<textarea name="tax_input[topic-tag]" rows="3" cols="20" class="the-tags" id="tax-input-topic-tag" >my tag 1,my tag 2</textarea></div>

<div class="ajaxtag hide-if-no-js">

<label class="screen-reader-text" for="new-tag-topic-tag">Topic Tags</label>

<div class="taghint">Add New Tag</div>

<p><input type="text" id="new-tag-topic-tag" name="newtag[topic-tag]" class="newtag form-input-tip" size="16" autocomplete="off" value="" />

<input type="button" class="button tagadd" value="Add tag" tabindex="3" /></p>

</div>

</div>

<div class="tagchecklist"></div>

</div>

A hidde field that probably is important:

<input type='hidden' id='post_ID' name='post_ID' value='44' />

Then the main post button:

<div id="publishing-action">

<img src="http://domain.com/wp-admin/images/wpspin_light.gif" class="ajax-loading" id="ajax-loading" alt="" />

<input name="original_publish" type="hidden" id="original_publish" value="Update" />

<input name="save" type="submit" class="button-primary" id="publish" tabindex="5" accesskey="p" value="Update" />

</div>

Can I use this for anything?

@Bluealek PM solution is already exist for bbPress plugin. Ben L. has converted bbPM standalone version to bbPress plugin’s version.

Hope, that what you’re looking for!

I DO like the tags function in this very install (bbpress.org), where I can add the tags I’d like to add to whatever topic I read.

But in the bbPress 2.1 install I have I can not see that function.

Is there a way I can call that function in the template, or a widget I can add to WP?

[POS2012]

Hmm. If I have bbPress 2.1 installed, how do I then install BuddyPress to get PM? – Just install it as normal, and the bbPress and BuddyPress will automatically be merged?

Hi,

I have recently setup a bbpress on my wordpress website, and everything seems fine, but the Tags are somehow not working. The problem is when I create a Tag from the front of the website (while creating a new thread) I then cannot see it in the panel administrator. Also, when I create the tag in the panel administrator I then cannot see the tag in the widget in the front end of the website. Do you have any idea what could be causing the problem?

Thanks for any advice!

Hi,

I’ve got some difficulties with shorcodes in my bbpress installation for wordpress. I have to use special shortcodes for card symbols (spade, diamond, etc.). Example, I use special format for posts, that changes :spade: into <img src=”dsewfwe” />. It works for posts and comments, but it doesn’t work for topics and replies

Any advice how to automatically replace a string with a different one?

I’ve checked the menu and forum (bbpress) and its all set up correct. But still i doesn’t se my forum. Any ideas?

Probably everything what you asked for can be done, but you need PHP skills and change the template files.

I don’t know about the online status, you probably need JavaScript for that.

I have none PHP skills so i have been looking around and testing Vanilla yesterday. From what i’ve been seeing at the start it looks very good. Not yet changed some template files so i can’t tell how easy that will be but i really like the features they have by default.

And if your community will get going you can always upgrade to the paid version and get the Badges Feature! Thats the coolest thing i’ve ever seen inside a communty.

http://vanillaforums.com/blog/news/introducing-vanilla-reactions-and-badges/

It will help your community grow faster for sure.

Hi, I am going to convert from Kunena to a WP based forum. Simple:press and bbPress are the 2 finalists.

The thing I absolutely love about bbPress is the loading time. Sooo much qucker than SP on my test server. That is a VPS. Actually Kunena is quicker loading than SP. That is when I have 1000 posts in Kunena, and only 10 in SP.

But bbPress has almost half the loading time than SP.

But there is something Iack in bbPress:

In the “Forums” layout:

– It currently says: Total topics, total posts and last refreshed for each forum

– Can I also show “Last post title” by “Author” ?

– Is it possible to show an excerpt of the last reply?

In the “Topics” layout:

– It currently says: Total topics, total posts and last refreshed for each forum

– Can I also show “Last post title” by “Author” ?

– Is it possible to show an excerpt of the last reply?

In the “Topic view” (thread):

– Can I somehow get the number of posts per user? (same place where the IP adress shows when I am logged in as admin)

You see : I like to know how many posts a user has made. That tells me of how active they are or not.

I would also like to see:

– Member Since: (date)

– Online status

PS: I have been testing bbPress 2.0.2, and have now installed 2.1 and find that even better

@JJJ Seeing as how short you are on development resources for bbPress, I was wondering if you have considered participating in GSoC. Sure, you’ll probably need to devote a fair bit of your time mentoring instead of coding, but bbPress might gain some features or plugins, and who knows, maybe some long-term contributors…

[humanrights4tibet]

And if you have a problem turning the plugin off you can delete the plugin from the appropriate directory (in my case it was /public_html/demo/wp-content/plugins/bbpress folder) using Filezilla (or the like).

Regards…

OK, I just resolved my problem….

I asked a designer friend what he thought and after I shared with him that…

In cPanel (with bbPress uninstalled) I’m using 36.2% of my allocated 524288 KB.

He suggested….

So, it seems it’s not physical memory allocation that is the problem, perhaps it’s a PHP memory limitation?

I then emailed my hosting company to ask their thoughts and their reply…

Thank you for writing in. I have increased the memory_limit for your

domain name humanrights4tibet.com from 32MB to 64MB. You can check and

confirm the same using following phpinfo URL:

This has resolved my problem and I have successfully activated bbPress Plugin – http://humanrights4tibet.com/demo/?post_type=forum&p=201&preview=true

Hope this helps you guys

Any help would be greatly appretiated. BBpress 2.0.2 installed.

I’m running WordPress, buddypress, and the bbpress forum plugin here: http://www.ridecbr.com

How can I add breadcrumbs (links showing where you are, and how to get back to the previous page, or the main forums) as well as a title for each forum topic.

When you click into a topic, shouldn’t it show you a breadcrumb list, as well as the topic title?

Please help!! I’ve posted 2-3 times with no responses in the past.

Thanks for your help in advance.

[Jaja..]

Yeah you can do a lot.

Use the WP Template Name function.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates

Create your own template files and build your own (bbPres) code inside them or leave them very default and use the Short Tags you’re using with ID’s right now.

If you can select the bbPress templates when adding a new page you can also make your own page templates.

Just select new page and pick a template from the right-side (template)

[pagal]

Different template design is possible with bbPress standalone (v1.1) solution, NOT sure for bbPress as plugin.

[nicolaelvin]

How can I do this? I tried editing the ones bp compatiblity copied across to my child theme I created but none of them effect the forum pages.

[humanrights4tibet]

Hi there, unfortunately I don’t have a solution for you, instead I am in the same situation….

My site is running fine until I activate BBPress Plugin version 2.0.2, then I see various memory allocation messages such as….

“Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6310 bytes) in /home/humanrig/public_html/demo/wp-admin/menu.php on line 234”

After reading pparson’s posts I’m guessing my server is not running sufficient ram?

[SK]

At http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/plugin there are plenty of items listed as “Waiting”

e.g. Polish, Romanian, French and Czech have 0% translation completed, but almost 100% strings in “waiting”.

So how do we move strings from “waiting” to “translated”?

[busterbox]

I really like bbpress as much forum But i would and maybe many more people will appericate if they update the 2.x into jus forum Not the plugin Because i have 4 website and i am creating all kind of cms and forum i love bbpress its really simple
