I have one portal with 6 subdomains. All in wordpress multisite network. I have also install buddypress and bbpress all in the newest versions.

I want to have only one forum on main site where i will have forums for subdomains blogs. These forums i can create manualy.

The issue is.

How can i get the latest topics from each forum from main site on subdomain blog ?

Do I need to get it from databese or how ?

Please help me

Any replies from the mods or plugin creators?

Seems only spammers are responding

Looks like this thread and plugin has been abandoned

I had high hopes for this plugin and forum but looks like I’ll have to look elsewhere. I’ve wasted enough time and effort on this!

[John James Jacoby]

That’s what I figured. Thanks again.

Your spam situation should be fixed, too.

Hey JJJ, glad you like the video. Feel free to include it in the codex.

1. I’ll look at making a child theme “friendly” version of this video. I agree, it’s important for end users to know how to implement this. I was mostly providing this for developers who are creating premium themes & wanting to bundle bbPress.

2. Good point. I totally forgot about “bbpress.php”. I’ll look into it.

[John James Jacoby]

That’s awesome Chris! Great work! Mind if I link this video in a page in the Codex?

When it comes time to put together round 2 of this video, I have a few suggestions on things I’d like to see included.

1. Instead of dropping the files into the active theme, can you walk through quickly making a child theme? I bet many users are not able to hack away at the core files of their themes because they’ve purchased them just don’t have control over that code.

2. Have you looked into dropping a ‘bbpress,php’ file into the root of the existing theme? You get less control over the actual template code, but it speeds up the process of getting the sidebar placement working in forums, topics, and the various other edit screens.

3. Good tip on loading the JS in the footer. Probably a core patch there so no one has to do that later.

That’s my only real suggestions. The video is great and does a good job at showing how easy it is to do with a little bit of investigation into the code.

I have a problem with translating an English phrase to Japanese because the variables are already containing the words behind the number.

For example, there is a phrase called, “This forum contains %1$s and %2$s, and was last updated by %3$s %4$s ago.” in BBPress. In the po file, I have translated to a phrase, “この掲示板は%1$s, %2$sが投稿されています。最終アップデートは%4$s前の%3$sさんによる投稿です。”

The translation for this shows as “この掲示板は19 topics, 136 repliesが投稿されています。最終アップデートは27日前の ABCさんによる投稿です。” in the frontend website. This is not good because the term “topics” and “replies” are built into to %1$s and %2$s, Same thing happens for below phrases.

A. This topic has %1$s, contains %2$s, and was last updated by %3$s %4$s ago.

B. This category contains %1$s and %2$s, and was last updated by %3$s %4$s ago.

Can you advise how to make it so that phrase work as “This forum contains %1$s topics and %2$s replies, and was last updated by %3$s %4$s ago.” so that I can convert the terms “topics” and “replies” to Japanese as well?

Please make the theme!

More likely it’s to do with the Wishlist plugin not obeying bbPress’s mapped capabilities. I’ve seen this come up a few times. You’ll want to trouble-shoot by looking at the capabilities that a subscriber has, and making sure they have the proper bbPress ones.

[John James Jacoby]

It’s live!

Hi all, just put together a video tutorial on how to theme bbPress 2.0.

Check it out here: http://futurewebblog.com/ultimate-bbpress-theming-guide-video/

The timing is quite ironic seeing as the codex was released just today, so some things may have changed. If so let me know and I’ll update the video.

I’m using a membership plugin (wishlist member) to control content access on my site.

I setup bbpress and can access both the forum/topic and within topic level as admin

As a subscriber, I can only access the topic listing but can’t click into any topics – get 404

All content protection within wishlist member is off for the forums..but I’m still seeing the issue.

I sense it’s something to do with permalinks/htaccess…but not quite sure.

Any suggestions?

ok I am using WordPress with Buddypress with BBpress alongside.. I am using the Custom Community Theme for my Template and i am trying to figure out how to change my BBpress template because the default one is Ugly and i have found some bbpress templates that i would like to use but i cant figure out how to make this work. Please any help with this would be Very Much Appreciated.

Hi, I’m just stopping by, but I think I may be able to some help with coding.

I can do some simple PHP, mostly without the classes/objects stuff (I’m currently in the process of learning PHP, so would really like some practical experience other than tweaking plugins).

I’m better with MySQL. I can devote perhaps 2 to 3 hours a day.

I’m located at the UTC+8 timezone (although I probably can’t get up at 5 AM to attend the dev meeting).

Hi, I’m trying to translate bbPress into Chinese, but every now and then, there is a fatal error in saving the POT file. So I’d like to request another one (please send it to angela380in [at] hotmail.com). And if by any chance, there is already a Chinese version, please send it to my email as well. Thanks.

Angela

[ilano]

Awesome, thanks!

[John James Jacoby]

No need to post tickets here. I’ll see them right away.

[John James Jacoby]

Testing out the new bbPress codex at http://codex.bbpress.org.

I’ll be adding some documents and moving things around soon. Wanted to give a heads up that it’s coming and I’m working on it before officially announcing anything on the blog.

If for some reason you’re not able to edit pages and would like to, drop me a note here and I’ll add you.

I own a WordPress development company and one of my developers and I have a bbPress integration project we need help with. It’s our first project using bbPress and we are running into issues with the integration. We don’t have the time and capacity to figure it out ourselves and are looking to hire the help of a developer who has experience successfully integrating bbPress and WordPress databases.

I pay competitively by the hour and am looking for someone who can work in concert with my developer on just this aspect of the project. We are hiring immediately and aiming to complete this week. – email lisa@birdwingdesigns.com.

I will mark this resolved after we’ve found someone.

[gabyan]

Is there a way to show usernames instead of real names on the forum? In Buddypress only usernames are shown and it needs to be the same at bbpress.

Thanks in advance!

0.9 users should upgrade to (or start with) the 0.9 branch

which was the final version of 0.9

but 0.9.0.7 appears to simply be a copy of the final 0.9 branch

browse https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/0.9

zip https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3730/branches/0.9?old_path=%2F&format=zip

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/branches/0.9/

From what I can tell, JJJ just copied the branch over to make “0.9.0.7”

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3517

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3535

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/log/tags/0.9.0.7/bb-includes?rev=3535

That’s all he did, there were no other changes, improvements or fixes.

But there really are some fixes in the final 0.9 branch over 0.9.0.6

There were 12 files changed from 0.9.0.6 to 0.9.0.7 (aka 0.9 branch)

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?old_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.6&old=2338+&new_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.7&new=3715

bb-includes/default-filters.php (1 diff)

bb-includes/wp-functions.php (2 diffs)

bb-includes/pluggable.php (1 diff)

bb-includes/functions.php (3 diffs)

bb-includes/registration-functions.php (1 diff)

bb-includes/template-functions.php (3 diffs)

bb-includes/compat.php (1 diff)

search.php (1 diff)

bb-plugins/akismet.php (4 diffs)

bb-admin/bb-do-counts.php (3 diffs)

bb-admin/admin.php (1 diff)

bb-admin/admin-functions.php (2 diffs)

It’s hard to be 100% positive but I am pretty sure they addressed the base64 decoding bug.

Those with 0.9.0.6 can replace just these files to upgrade to 0.9.0.7

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?format=zip&new=3715&old=2338&new_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.7&old_path=%2Ftags%2F0.9.0.6

(those running versions before 0.9.0.6 will need more files from a fuller upgrade, do not use just the above files as it will break your install)

Everyone should still use my mini-plugin to protect bbpress and wordpress for yet-unidentified security issues. It’s better than nothing. You can even remove the header and just copy the one IF block to your bb-config.php and wp-config.php

If 256 characters turns out to be too short of a URL restriction, some may need to raise it as high as 1024, for example in WordPress where it stupidly uses GET now to mass delete posts, which was a dumbfounding move on their part.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Block Long/Bad Queries (for bbPress and WordPress)

*/



if (strlen($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])>1024 ||

preg_match('@(eval|base64|unescape)[^a-zA-Z0-9]@si',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']))

{

header('HTTP/1.1 414 Request-URI Too Long');

header('Status: 414 Request-URI Too Long');

header('Connection: Close');

exit;

}

Hi Anointed and AWJunkies, is there any update on the issues with the phpBB conversion that many users on this thread have highlighted?

Right now, I’m stuck in no-man’s land and would love to get a resolution of sorts.

If there is no further support or development into this plugin, then please let us know so that users like me can look at other solutions for our forum boards.

I appreciate all the work that has gone into this, but as it is, its not complete and not usable to anyone.

If anyone has successfully converted their phpBB board to bbPress using this converter, I’d like to hear from them.

Thank you in advance for any replies and help!

Hi,

For the sake of consistancy, I’d like to use the WP Socializer plugin to display Social Media buttons at the top of my forum Topics.

The plugin author said this:

“Please note that WP Socializer works in all pages or places where there the <?php the_content(); ?> function is called in the theme.

Simply make sure that the theme you use or the page of the custom post has the above function mentioned.

Instead, you can also use WP Socializer’s template functions also.

Use <?php echo wp_socializer(‘template-1’); ?> anywhere in the template which is used by the custom post type.”

Since I didn’t find reference to <?php the_content(); ?>,I’ve tried inserting it into the default theme and the single-topic.php file however the buttons fail to load.

I’m presuming this is because bbPress actually isn’t recognising the php code reference – would this be the case?

Any help would be appreciated.

[blogher8]

I hope _ck_ or someone else can answer.

I have 0.9.0.7 installed.

I just saw _ck_’s post here about a security patch plugin: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-103-released#post-84690

Ten months ago, _ck_ wrote,

“bbPress 0.9 users should install my unofficial “block-long-queries” mini-plugin to avoid the security bug that 1.0.3 fixes and similar unknown attacks in the future.

(it also works in 1.0 and WordPress)”

Since it seems like 0.9.0.7 came out five months later, I am wondering if this new release covers the patch or if it is still needed.

Note that I searched extensively for a post about the 0.9.0.7 release and the changes it represented, but I can’t see anything like that.

Also, I can’t ask in the original thread because it was closed.

Thanks!

@Daxx: Just to clarify, you have installed https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/ into a WordPress installation, right?

[SK]

That’s exactly how it will work if you install https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/
