This is what my current forum pages looks like.

I want to make the author column width much smaller.

How would I do this?

I’ve gone into bbpress.css and made every td, th, bbp-author-reply possible and put it width:20%, but to no avail.

I’ve tried tinkering with the style.css, but not entirely sure what to change there.

Would appreciate some help please.

I am trying to integrate my forum into wordpress so that the forum shows on a page in my blog, there are 3 problems;

1. your set up documentation says that I need to cut and paste information from the following fields into your integration page; secure_auth and wordpress mu primary log ID. I can’t find them in document used in your hyperlink.

2. I have used a wordpress plug in to import my bbpress forum but there doesn’t seem to be a way to set up the widgets as they don’t show on a newly created page. They clash with wordpress set up as their widgets show on every page. They are not needed for the forum but the forums are and I can’t show them.

Also it seems that the only place to show my topics are in the wordpress blog margin as there is no facility to drag and drop the widget into the page content .

3. I have designed a forum in bbpress but the forums show tight to the right hand margin with the right hand end of the topic details cut off. There seems to be a hot tags widget preventing the topics from appearing in the centre of the page. How can I change the settings?

I uploaded bbPress 1.1 to my website.

Visited the bbPress directory which I called “forum”.

It redirected me to /forum/bb-admin/install.php.

Which said: “There doesn’t seem to be a bb-config.php file. This usually means that you want to install bbPress.”

When I click on “Go to step 1”, nothing happens – it just refreshes the page, and does not display the first step. There no error messages.

I am using PHP version 5.1.6

I don’t have word press installed.

Any Ideas?

I’ve been using bbPress as a WordPress Plug-in for a few weeks now and I’ve got it looking pretty spiffy for my site. My problem is, there are some bbPress plug-ins (for signatures and post counting) that I’d like to implement into the forums, but as far as I see, this is impossible. Enabling the plug-ins in wordpress’ plug-in folder does nothing. I’ve tried doing MySQL query’s and that doesn’t work. I’m lost, is there anybody with some insight on this situation? I’m starting to think I should of went with the stand-alone or another forum system, but I liked the integration of the plug-in with existing users and all. Thanks in advance

I used a hack to the wordpress code. It was some basic php. If you want the code, just let me know.

This additional would be really nice for my sites. I want to be able to show friends as well. I know you can have friends on buddy press but it doesn’t show them very well.

You have to use the bbPress plugins in WordPress plugin directory…

bbPress.org plugin directory is for bbPress 1 the standalone vr

Anyone know of any demo content files/generators for 2.0?

[Ocyloth]

Hi everyone,

First of all, sorry for my english (I’ll try to do my best ^^’).

I’m just starting with BBPress (version 2) and I like it pretty much. Some functionalities missing, but fortunately there’s a lot of plugins to increase BBPress’s possibilities. I found, on this website, the “Unread Post” plugin (http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/unread-posts/). I tried to install it on my BBpress in my-plugins directory (but I think it’s only for BBPress 1) and as a WordPress plugin, but it’s doesn’t work… Did I proceed correctly ? Maybe there’s a way to use BBPress 1 plugins on BBPress 2 ? Or does this plugin exist for BBPress 2 (I didn’t find it on this website, but I never know) ?

Thank you !

I talked to them a couple days ago and got the impression an update was coming this week.

Ok, I’ve narrowed down the problem a little more.

The forum itself is not marked private, one of the forum’s parent forums is (in my case, a category).

The problem occurs when a forum’s topics show up in the index even when one of the forum’s parents is marked private.

Note that the topic remains inaccessible when you try to view it from the index (defeating the purpose of displaying it there at all).

So I’m guessing it is still bug, but one can easily work around it by changing all of the child forums of a private forum to private as well.

WordPress 3.1.4, bbpress plugin 2.0

I want role Participant to view forum/topic/reply with Hidden attribute but not Private,how can I do?

I try to change some definition manually in bbp_get_caps_for_role() like this:

case $participant_role :

$caps = array(

// Forum caps

‘read_hidden_forums’,

// Topic caps

‘publish_topics’,

‘edit_topics’,

// Reply caps

‘publish_replies’,

‘edit_replies’,

// Topic tag caps

‘assign_topic_tags’,

);

break;

and reinstall wordpress and bbpress, create a Participant account and it works.

Everything seems OK but only when I access pages like: http://localhost/?forum=a-hidden-forum, it returns a 404 page, not a topic list.

Other pages like “http://localhost/?topic=a-topic-in-a-hidden-forum”, “http://localhost/?post_type=forum” and widges in sidebar return the right contents.

I also try adding both

// Forum caps

‘read_hidden_forums’,

‘read_private_forums’,

to Participant and as a result, every pages are displayed even “http://localhost/?forum=a-hidden-forum” and topics in Private forum.

It seems have something to do with actions in “bbp-init” in which return a wrong string when reaching for perameter “forum”.

Sorry for not viewing all previous QoA but the most similar topic I’ve found is “Forum Participant role cannot view private forum” but it doesn’t help.

Is there any way to solve my problem?

Thanks for any help

Coming to bbPress from WP, I am looking for a way to style a thread on a client 1.03 bbPress forum.

In WP when using categories, one can set up a category-13.php page.

This becomes a dedicated template page for all posts with a category ID of 13.

Is there a way to do the same for forums.php?

Would love to be able to create forums-13.php so that I can style it as required without breaking other things.

Is there another way to achieve this sort of thing?

[ebharding]

There is not a lot of traffic on the forum yet, but it would appear that everything is ok.

[David]

@johnjamesjacoby, I don’t know that it would help but would you be interested in looking at my bbPress instance? I have a live and a development space so there would be room for experimentation. If so, I PM’d you recently on BuddyPress so you could respond to that.

[John James Jacoby]

@Landon – This topic is 2 years old and doesn’t pertain to the code for the version of bbPress you’re using. Can you start a new topic and I’ll delete your post here?

[John James Jacoby]

Can you confirm that no other timestamps are adversely affected? That function is used rather extensively through-out bbPress, so it’s possible it might skew the math of other times in the other direction.

I have a WordPress with WPML plugin and it works ok in all the pages, menus, widgets and plugins.

Now I added the bbpress 2.0 plugin, and there is no way that WPML can read the language .mo files of bbpress.

I tried with CodeStyling Localization (another translate plugin) but the bbpress language files are not available. Localization section of WP shows this:

Textdomain: bbpress

Versión: 2.0

Estado: active

Descripción: bbPress is forum software with a twist from the creators of WordPress.

Compatibility: Loading Issue: Author is using load_textdomain instead of load_plugin_textdomain function. This may break behavior of WordPress, because some filters and actions won’t be executed anymore. Please contact the Author about that.

How can I make bbpress 2.0 will be multilingual as the entire content?

Thanks!

[MTPrower]

I got it working! However, I did not do anything with the bbPress functions.php. Was I supposed to combine it with my WordPress functions.php or something? Do I continue to just ignore it?

[Landon]

Ok found a good fix for this!

in bbp_signature.php

in function bbp_reply_content_append_user_signature & function bbp_topic_content_append_user_signature

change

$signature = bbp_get_user_signature ( $user_id );

to

$signature = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘Signature’, $user_id );

Then in Buddypress profile fields add a field called Signature.

Bam fixed.

I even went ahead and added a bbcode parser to the plugin so it works real nice. you can download the full fix here

[ebharding]

I made the suggested change and that seemed to fix the problem.

thanks!

Hey,

Does this allow BBpress template codes within WordPress posts and pages? I asked about here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-template-codes-within-wordpress

If it does, could you offer some guidance on implementing the codes?

Thanks.

I am wondering if anybody is using or has used cubepoints integrated with BBPress (2.0)

I have Cubepoints on my WP install and I would like to tie them together. It looks like there is no existing module for this and rather than re-inventing the wheel here, I am checking to see if anybody already has.

I’m trying to import one of my standalone forums to the plugin. I use bbpress 1.1 and latest bbpress plugin. I ran the importer and got this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class BPDB in /home/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 39

I found this thread:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/where-is-the-importer

Following scribu’s lead, I added this to my bb-config:

define('BB_DATABASE_CLASS', 'BPDB');

define('BB_DATABASE_CLASS_INCLUDE', false);

I got the same errors that he did:

Warning: Missing argument 2 for BPDB::__construct(), called in .../forum-svn/bb-settings.php on line 197 and defined in .../plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/importers/bbpress.php on line 29

Warning: Missing argument 3 for BPDB::__construct(), called in …/forum-svn/bb-settings.php on line 197 and defined in …/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/importers/bbpress.php on line 29

Warning: Missing argument 4 for BPDB::__construct(), called in …/forum-svn/bb-settings.php on line 197 and defined in …/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/importers/bbpress.php on line 29

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bb_cache_users() (previously declared in …/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/importers/bbpress.php:103) in …/forum-svn/bb-includes/functions.bb-users.php on line 39

When I went back to the importer I see “It looks like you attempted to convert your bbPress standalone previously and got interrupted.” I chose “Continue Previous Import” and still get the error. I went back to bb-config and removed the items that I had added. Now I get this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class BPDB in /forums/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 39

I believe I tried deep integration at one point and abandoned it. I was running the bbPress Integration plugin, not sure if that has anything to do with it:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/

Any ideas? I’d be happy to let a developer (JJJ) take a look at things if they’d like to troubleshoot it.

[Ed]

any ETA on the updated tool? thanks.
