I want my forum to look like this http://roosterteeth.com/forum

Is there a theme/plugin that would allow me have my forums look like this? I can edit the source files of bbpress, so if you have a suggestion about doing that, I’m all ears. I have a basic understanding on PHP, so it shouldnt be a problem. Thanks!

Hey there, I’m trying to work on a forum for a friend of mine who’s not very computer literate but I’m having just as much trouble understanding it all!

I’ve tried changing themes on my BBpress forum but the .zip files won’t upload, even though it says:

“Install a plugin in .zip format

If you have a plugin in a .zip format, you may install it by uploading it here.”

after I try upload one it says:

“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.

Plugin install failed”

This is absolutely doing my head in. Not only that, but getting a simple forum page up is much harder than I thought it would be. To see what I mean, check out our forum as it is now:

http://www.pets-ponies.com

So my question is:

Would someone (with more experience than us) kindly log-in to our admin page and quickly whip up a basic forum? I’ve got all the page/topic names or titles I want up there (in my head at the moment), I just can’t figure it out!

In need of some help bigtime!

Cheers! Paul

Hey guys, just a thought – is it possible to convert BBPress 2.0 threads and posts back to v1.X in any way?

[Jared Atchison]

That very well could be true, however it doesn’t seem to be holding back other forum packages such as Vanilla which offer no advanced wysiwyg editor out-of-the-box.

It was only a matter of time until it made it into bbP core though.

[unholyfruitbat]

That’s a huge relief because honestly I believe the lack of editing options in the core release is what’s holding bbPress back more than anything else.

Closing. If you have any questions regarding shortcodes feel free to create a new thread.

[Jared Atchison]

Closing. If you have a question about one of the FAQ items feel free to create a new thread. FAQ is going to hopefully be getting a nice update after 2.1 is released

Hi,

We have a problem, all is in the title : Why bbp_get_topic_admin_links() function in bbp-topic-template.php can’t apply on a bbp single topic page ?

How hack the following code without modify bbpress core files :

line 1984 :

if (!bbp_is_single_topic() )

return;

Is there an issue to display admin links on non-single topic page ?

Thx,

[John James Jacoby]

Keep in mind that bbPress 2.1 is still in development. It’s pre-release software and there might still be some kinks to work out.

But, on paper it’s *supposed* to be better than 2.0.

[John James Jacoby]

Happy this is helping some people. Closing for now since this topic seems to be a hotbed for spammers.

[Jared Atchison]

bbP 2.1 has TinyMCE.

You can download 2.1 by clicking Zip Archive on this page: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin

I’m totally new to Bbpress. I have a problem with adding posts. Totally strange things have happened. For example, when I was on the front page of forum, topics links are fine, when I click on some of them, it takes me to a page with listed posts, but when I want to make a new post, the part of url disappeared. To be clear, when I press the submit button, bb-post.php redirects me to a nonexistent page and the url looks like this http /example.com/ /name_of_topic and it should look like this http /example.com/forum/name_of_forum/name_of_topic. Something removes part of url, but i have no clue what it can be. I look through functions, and i’m lost.

Please help.

I can’t believe more threads haven’t talked about this. How are people using BBPress 2.0 without a wysiwig editor? Im a programmer and dont mind using text or markup, but users certainly do mind.

I’ve tried the Post toolbar — that is WAY too technical for my users since it straight up inserts HTML Markup.

I’ve tried CLEditor, which works out of the box — but generates really crappy HTML that doesn’t handle whitespace correctly.

I want to integrate TinyMCE, CKEditor, or PunyMCE, but it’s just harder than you would think because I dont quite understand the plugin structure and template structure bbpress 2.0 uses.

Any help in regards to hardcoding these editors into a theme, hacking an existing plugin, or even creating a plugin to do this highly appreciated.

Best,

Danger

I’ve been following the development of Thematic for the last few months now, which makes it pretty lame that I’ve never checked out the forums until now. Looks like a great community/resource from what I’ve been able to tell over the last few hours.Anyways, I’ve just released my first Thematic specific Child Theme called Boumatic. My main goal with the design was to step away from the default Top Header, Left Content, Right Sidebar layout that comes as the default. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Does not install.

The plugin does not have a valid header.

[Keshav Saini]

I am using the latest versions of both the software. Buddypress 1.5 and bbpress 2

I have installed bbpress both for group forums and sitewide forum. I started seven discussions in sitewide forum but none of them appearing in my activity.

[Jared Atchison]

No problem, glad I can help.

I’m going to submit this simple plugin to the wp.org repo. Once it’s up I’ll talk to @jjj and see if it warrants a sticky.

Regarding the missing tag, closing PHP tags (?>) isn’t required (at the end of the file) and it’s usually good practice to omit them. More info on that http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4410704/php-closing-tag

[jamescarson1]

Jaredatch, this is gold. And it will be appreciated by many people I imagine. This should be reposted as a sticky or similar until it’s added to the plugins page or to the next bbpress update?

By the way I just tested the code and it’s working great. It’s missing a closing ?> tag.

Thanks!

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-custom-css-file/

bbPress will use bbpress.css from your theme folder.

So to recap:

1. Copy the master bbPress css file to your theme directory and rename it to bbpress.css.

2. Go to the plugin page in the admin. Activate bbPress Custom CSS File.

3. profit.

[Jared Atchison]

Try adding a check for bbPress, such as

add_action( 'bbp_ready', 'ja_login_detect' );

function ja_login_detect() {

if ( is_bbpress() ) {

include_once "/dap/dap-config.php";



if ( !Dap_Session::isLoggedIn() )

header( "Location: /dap/login.php" )

}

}

I got it working though it is not perfect. After setting up all bbp templates into my new theme and ensuring the bbpress, css, and js subfolders associated with the bbp-twentyten template where in my new theme folder properly it is working with some functionality that I can live with; however,…

The breadcrumb link and my forums menu link are not the same. Now, I use a forums page with the shortcode. Now, when someone drills down into the forums and wished to return to the main forums page via the breadcrumb they go to the default forums-archive page set by bbp. I wish it went to my custom forum page with the shortcodes, but I’m happy it is not sending people to a useless page.

So, there is still an issue, but everything is providing useful functionality at this time. I will leave this unresolved and hope the dev will fix in later versions.
