We have tried working on this some more, but still not working. Would bbpress.php be the right script for these changes?

<?php

include_once “/home/@#$$$/public_html/dap/dap-config.php”;

//the problem is get_post_type comes up empty..

if((get_post_type() == ‘forum’) || (get_post_type() == ‘topic’) OR (get_post_type() == ‘reply’))

{

if( !Dap_Session::isLoggedIn() ) {

header(“Location: /dap/login.php”);

exit;

}

}

Our problem is that get_post_type() comes up empty when used in bbpress.php.

So maybe the whole check needs to go else where. I am not sure where.

Also i don’t see a bb-config.php in our folders? Should this file exist?

I’m a professor & I’m planning to use bbPress as my a grad school class hub. I have bbPress working as I want, except I need 2 types of forums. One is for Required Discussions (assignments) and the other is for Open Discussions (non-required). Anyone can start a discussion in the Open Discussions Forum, but only I can start new discussions in the Required Discussions Forum.

I converted my SNS from Ning. So far so good except for this one issue about controlling who can start discussions in these 2 forums.

Is there a way to control who can start discussions in specific forums?

THANKS for any info!

It’s perfect. The problem is now resolved.

Many thanks.

I read in this thread that you mentioned it was possible to give users the ability to add iframes to a post if you have the correct ‘simple’ WP plugin.

I am trying to allow people to add their iframes from soundcloud.com into a post so I need to give them that ability.

Can you tell me what plugin will allow this to happen?

Thank!

Hi guys,

We made a premium bbPress spam killer Plugin. It kills spam dead!

The concept is loosely based around our own ideas and automatting some of Anointed’s ideas.

The Spam Killer Plugin saves us a lot of time and money. Since the spam problem has cost us such a lot of time and money;

a) removing spam daily

b) testing many plugins that did not work

c) and finally building a new Plugin which took many many hours that fixes our problem

… we have decided to make it a premium plugin for sale on our site.

http://getshopped.org/premium-upgrades/premium-plugin/bbpress-spam-killer/

Best,

Dan

micropat: The new version works splendidly — the button appears on posts and pages but not on the forum index.

Rastarr: I’m letting you know that I’ve found something that actually works with bbPress: Lockerz Share.

Thanks, micropat. You …. you made it work.

FADE OUT

Sorry for the double post….

Or should we just use !important in our master css files?

[jamescarson1]

right… thanks for the response.

I’m not having problems with any of the above, although in my case i’m only adding bbpress.php to my theme folder.

the question i have is with the bbpress.css. Paul made a duplicate of bbpress.css plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress.

Obviously that’s going to get zapped on an update of the plugin. Thats why Paul recommended creating something similar to a child theme–turning bbpress.css into bbpress_master.css then putting just his tweaked css in bbpress.css.

This lets him have a dedicated small css file, bbpress.css to retain during an update, but unfortunately he’ll have to back it up himself.

So, my question is there some provision for the bbpress.css being read in the same way that bbpress.php is read in a theme folder? Or is there a better way to handle css modifcations? Maybe I am missing something.

Thanks again,

[ben_allison]

It’s been a few weeks, but I think the process was:

1) add child theme declaration to your theme’s function.php file

2) Make a file called bbpress.php in your theme folder; this is the template used for the forum index (in the same way that index.php is the default for the blog in wordpress).

3) create a bbpress folder in your them folder

4) COPY any bbpress template files you want to customize into this folder from pluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentytenbbpress

SOOO easy it hurts.

Don’t forget, you might need to grab functions from the 2010 functions.php file, and you’ll also need to make sure you pay attention to styles that scripts uses (like the ajax loading style, etc).

[jamescarson1]

Is the process that Paul outlined the best option at this time for modifying CSS, or is there some special mojo to get css working in a custom theme folder by copying or creating a bbpress.css etc.?

many thanks for laying the foundation of a nice new lightweight forum!

…you might also try that plugin for sidebar placement:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/content-aware-sidebars/

[David Decker]

The plugin section on bbpress.org is only related to the old standalone branch, for all things bbPress 2.x look at WordPress.org repository:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/bbpress

Also, support questions for bbPress 2.x plugins are better placed in the specific plugin support forums for each plugin! The chance the authors see it and respond is much higher than here!

For the sidebar issue with “bbPress WP Tweaks” plugin:

These issues are more THEME-related than plugin-related! The problem some theme do a little crazy things with their sidebar management or registration so we have sometimes a hard time to get such things working.

Have you any URLs to your sites or could give the theme names/URLs?

For the above mentioned plugin you might also have a look at the plugin specific support forum here:

https://wordpress.org/tags/bbpress-wp-tweaks?forum_id=10

[David Decker]

Maybe also “bbPress Moderation” might help a bit:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpressmoderation/

[David Decker]

You can also maintaining plugin and theme translations with the awesome “Codestyling Localization” plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/codestyling-localization/

“fi” is the correct locale for Finnish!!

Placing the language files in /wp-content/languages/ is already prepared in bbPress 2.x but unfortunately it does not work yet (since 2.x branch!) – it would be nice seeing that fixed as overriding language files via updates is no fun at all!

Thanx, Dave

[johnny-rocket]

thanks jared, i’m trying that-getting call to undefined function

[Jared Atchison]

You are going to have to wrap it in something that checks for bbPress.

Similar to:

if ( is_bbpress() ) {

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



if( !Dap_Session::isLoggedIn() ) {

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

exit;

}

}

However it’s going to likely take more polish than that.

[johnny-rocket]

Hey Jared, yes, that is what happens. But unfortunately it happens for the entire site, whereas i just want it applied to the forum. Is that possible?

[johnny-rocket]

does anyone know if any of these plugins can be used with current version of bbpress? I don’t see a myplugins folder and tried to create one-uploaded the files and see nothing in my plugins section.

[Jared Atchison]

I looks like this issue is due to a CSS conflict in your theme’s CSS. Specifically line 733 which reads:

.reply {

float: left;

margin: 0;

}

You are going to have to play around with it. I’d start with adding something like this to your theme’s CSS:

.bbp-replies .reply {

float: none;

}



.bbPress #content .single-entry-content {

float: none;

}

[Jared Atchison]

Well from your code above, it seems that if a user isn’t loggedin via DAP then they would get redirected to /dap/login.php.

[Jared Atchison]

I don’t know there is one out there (yet) that is specifically written for bbPress.

I assume you need this because you are allowing Guest posting?

In bbP 2.1 spam detection with Akismet is improved so hopefully you might not even need it (unless you are worried about members posting in-appropriate material).

[Jared Atchison]

If you are 2.1 (which from my testing is stable and full of awesomeness) you can place the bbPress template files in your theme and bbP will use those instead of the pre-packaged ones.

[websquatters]

Hello I am new to BBPress and I have installed it successfully. I have been trying to edit the missing image tag that you see when you view the forum index at the following url.

I’m not sure where to find the code to remove it.

http://websquatters.com/dcoutlaws/forums

[baldg0at]

Yep. I found wp-reportpost ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-reportpost/ )

Looks pretty good. Just looking for other ideas/recommendations or if there is anything out there specifically for bbpress.

[johnny-rocket]

Ok, guess that was the issue. I added a new forum which is public and can view the one post there. So i guess for some reason you can’t switch back between public, and private or public-hidden or any variation of the three.

My other question John is this..and not sure if you can help, but would appreciate if you have any idea.

With my member plugin-DAP-we attempted to put the following at the head of the bbpress.php file in order to block the forum from any non-members.

< ?php

include_once “/dap/dap-config.php”;

if( !Dap_Session::isLoggedIn() ) {

header(“Location: /dap/login.php”);

exit;

}

?>

The only issue is that it blocked the entire site and not just bbpress. IF you have a suggestion and its ok if you don’t, would love to hear any recommendation.

Thank you!
