I figured since I was asking for help on something here:
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/function-calls
I would at least give a little something that I believe some people may find useful. I may not explain this well so please feel free to ask questions and I’ll do my best to help you.
I needed to create a whole new sidebar for my forum page and after some research and using the old noggin I came up with the following. Please note that this should be a good common usage for most themes but your situation may be unique. Adjust as needed.
First, open your functions.php file and copy the following in there:
// Forum Sidebar Widget Area. Empty by default.
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Forum Widget Area', 'twentyten' ),
'id' => 'forum-widget-area',
'description' => __( 'The Forum Widget Area', 'twentyten' ),
'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget-container %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '',
'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h3>',
) );Again, each case may be different but generally this will work. What this will do is create a new Widgetized sidebar area (located under Appearances >> Widgets)
Alternatively, You can copy your existing widget code in functions.php for widgets but be sure to rename the areas, especially id, as I have above (forum-widget-area was originally sidebar-widget-area).
Take note, as well of the class= and id= I have. Those are useful for my blog but you may be using different tags for yours. Adjust as needed.
Then Create a new file and name it anything you want, for our testing purposes we’re going to use forum-sidebar.php
Copy and paste your code from sidebar.php into your new forum-sidebar.php file.
My original looks like this:
// A Sidebar for widgets
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-widget-area' ) ) : ?>
<div id="sidebar" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
<ul class="xoxo">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-widget-area' ); ?>
</div>As you can see, I have two spaces calling the sidebar-widget-area that was previously declared in functions.php. Yours should be very similar to this or at least easy enough to figure out.
What you need to do is rename the two fields within the () areas to what you declared when setting up your code in functions.php, mine is
// A Sidebar for widgets
if ( is_active_sidebar( 'forum-widget-area' ) ) : ?>
<div id="sidebar" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
<ul class="xoxo">
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'forum-widget-area' ); ?>
</div>Notice how I changed sidebar-widget-area to forum-widget-area ?
We do this so that when your forum page is called, it shows the widgets you’ll setup later.
Now, Open your Page Template and find:
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>Or something similar. generally this is at the bottom of the code.
Replace that with:
<?php
$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if ( strpos($uri,'YOUR-FORUM-BASE') !== false ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/forum-sidebar.php');
} else {
get_sidebar();
}
?>“forum-sidebar.php” is the file you created earlier and YOUR-FORUM-BASE is the “Forums base” you have defined for your forums settings (in Settings >> Forums). Also please note the / before the file name. With this code you’ll need it.
What this does is calls your primary URL http://yoursite.com and then attempts to detect if it’s on THIS URL or ANOTHER.
So if yoursite.com/YOUR-FORUM-BASE then SHOW THIS else SHOW THAT.
Using this code you can have an entirely seperate widget area for your forum page so you can make better use of the bbPress widgets without overdoing it with your current sidebar setup.
Someone may have a better or more elegant way of achieving this but this has worked for me and it works well. I hope anyone finds it useful.
I have buddypress and bbpress activated. All I’d like to do is have replies to forum topics automatically show up under the notifications tab in the admin bar. thanks for your help.
Topic: function calls?
Not sure if the title is the correct term I am looking for.
I was wondering where I could find some notes, documentary, or whatever you guys call it regarding the use of things like:
‘separator’ => ‘ ‘
‘show_reply_count’ => false
And other such functions?
I currently have something like:
<?php bbp_list_forums(array(‘separator’ => ‘
‘,’show_topic_count’ => false, ‘show_reply_count’ => false)); ?>and I was wondering what else I could do with the various bbpress arrays?
I’m using bbPress 2.x and what I’m really trying for is to make the front page look more like the category page.
Right now the front page is:
Category 0 0
forum (0,0), forum (0,0), forum (0,0), forum (0,0)
and I’m trying to achieve
Category
– Forum 0 0
– Forum 0 0
– Forum 0 0
– Forum 0 0
Or something VERY similar.
Any help anyone could lend me would be GREATLY GREATLY GREATLY appreciated!!!
I’m trying to show a logged-in user’s favorite topics on a single page like the page-front-topics.php template that’s included in the bbpress default theme. I used the exact same syntax as in that file but instead called in another template I created, content-archive-favorites.php, which contains the exact code (minus the containing div) from the user-favorites.php file.
It just shows that the user has no favorites.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey guys, been using:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-new-topic-notifications/
Which is great for me as the site owner but I’d like my sub-forums to have their own notifications to specific users.
Possible at all?
Topic: bbPress 2.0 in Catalan
Hi!
We’ve just published the translation of bbPress 2.0 into catalan (Català/Valencià).
Hope it will be useful…
In bbpress.pot, the original strings are:
This forum contains %1$s and %2$s.This category contains %1$s and %2$s.With bbPress 2.0-rc-2 fully translated, these phrases seem to use hard-coded English for the words
topic/topicsandreply/replies.Translated to Norwegian, the finished phrases will thus be:
Dette forumet inneholder 0 topics og 0 replies.Denne kategorien inneholder 0 topics og 0 replies.When they should be:
Dette forumet inneholder 0 tråder og 0 svar.Denne kategorien inneholder 0 tråder og 0 svar.Topic: Activating bbPress Plugins
Hi,
I’ve installed bbPress on my WordPress site and to get the functionality I want I need to add a couple of plugins to bbPress. I created the ‘my-plugins’ folder and put them in there but now what do I do? I’ve had a look through the documentation and it doesn’t mention where in the admin I can activate them?
Any help is much appreciated.
Ryan
