if you add

.bbp-author-avatar {

display: none;

}

to the css file andre pointed to it will probably stop all avatars being displayed anywhere in the forum

@alieninformer, thanks for sharing!

You can also call an alternate sidebar in bbPress just as you can in your base WP install, so <?php get_sidebar('alternateside'); ?> would call sidebar-alternateside.php and that file can be kept in the WP theme folder so that it could be shared with other non-bbPress pages.

@John,

I have tried to follow you procedure for getting bbPress intergrated into my current theme. After 10 hours of copying/pasting directories, files, adding code… I finally gave up.

As you said your self the bbPress as only one theme that supports it and that is the theme you have created, which is a modified twentyten. I think the bbPress fails as user friendly, because I need to manually change things on my harddrive and code to get my current theme to work.

Apparently there are not very many forum plugins for wordpress (well, not that many good ones). I would like to use yours and this is also why I invested 10 hours of my time trying to integrate it.

I’m going to try and explain what I have done, perhaps I misunderstand something with your procedure:

1. I’m using WordPress 3.2.1, theme Suffusion, forum bbPress 2.0

2. With this installment I can see I need to use your procedure description:

If this is not a custom theme under your control (meaning you are not the author) you’ll want to copy the entire “/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten” folder into your “wp-content/themes/%YOURTHEMENAME%” folder, and modify your style.css to make it a custom Child Theme of whatever your current theme is.

3. I copy my folder: C:inetpubwwwrootwpwp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentyten and paste it into C:inetpubwwwrootwpwp-contentthemessuffusion

4. This means I now have a folder in my suffusion directory called “bbp-twentyten”

5. I now open the style.css file in the “C:inetpubwwwrootwpwp-contentthemessuffusionbbp-twentyten” directory and add “@import url(“../style.css”);”

6. I modify the styles.css file in the “C:inetpubwwwrootwpwp-contentthemessuffusionbbp-twentyten”, so that the plugin header now says “template: suffusion”

7. I now open the functions.php file in the “C:inetpubwwwrootwpwp-contentthemessuffusion” directory and add: add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );

As I understand your procedure that is what I’m suppose to do? Did I miss something?

regards,

Peter

The bbp-common-template.php edit didn’t work for me.

Could someone share the .htaccess redirect.

When I am logged into my bbPress v2.0 Forum as Admin and viewing topics, I have the options of Edit and Trash among others. But when logged in with a role of Subscriber I only see Edit and not Trash on posts that are authored by the Subscriber user.

I have installed a bb_current_user_can filter as shown here (picked up off this forum):

function delete_own_post($retvalue, $capability, $args) {

if ($capability==”delete_post”) {return bb_current_user_can( ‘delete_post’, $args[1]);}

return $retvalue;

}

add_filter(‘bb_current_user_can’, ‘delete_own_post’,10,3);

but only see Edit capability. How do I get Edit and Trash for Post authors in the forum?

[eraleks]

I just can’t make this work…

If I click on the show source code I can find the problem, but I just don’t get where and how I can remove the avatars in the files provided.

You can see my forum here: http://revyportalen.no/forums/forum/revyportalen-forum-2/

Help is very much appreciated! Especially if someone could point me straight to the solution since I don’t really know css

I don’t know if this is possible at the moment. I started writing a plugin to try and add this functionality but my knowledge of php is not good enough.

I have achieved a similar solution, though it lacks some functionality, by using a multisite wordpress install, and having each site with its own forums, and making each site only viewable to members. Then, if you want a user to be able to see a forum you make them a member of the site. The downside of this is that you have multiple forum areas.

I have created some shortcodes to allow you to list forums from multiple sites on single page, but have not got around to adding it as a plugin yet.

If you would like to try it out then you can grab the code from the pastebin link here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/multisite-displaying-forum-list and just create an empty folder in your plugins directory, then copy the text from pastebin into a new php file in that folder.

The usage is a bit strange and explained in the other thread

I am using bbPress 2.0 and in the end I managed to recover the posts by exporting the tables I wanted to keep from the database, nuking the database and the wordpress install and installing it again.

Still have no idea how it happened though

[Crisium]

Hi bbPress,

I’m fairly new to wordpress and bbpress, so some of my points might just be invalid and based on “I did it wrong”… either way.. please help.

I have installed:

wordpress Version 3.2.1

bbpress 2.0

I have create one forum and one topic.

I added the widget “List Forums bbPress” and the widget showed the forum correctly, but the link was bad. I found out refreshing my permalinks fixed this problem.

When I got to my forum I am expecting to see the text I wrote about the forum and all topics associated with the forum. I do see all topics (in my case the one), but the text I wrote about the forum is not visible?

the forum can be seen here: http://cl204.exaweb.dk/TumblingDrills/forums/forum/new-skills

I hope someone can help me,

regards,

Peter

Hi,

I’m new to bbpress, so please excuse this if I’m overlooking something obvious.

I’d like to change the forum display hierarchy so that categories are displayed at a higher level and all forums under the category as displayed separately under that category; instead of one area for all forums under a particular category to show total posts and topics, I’d like a section for each forum.

Hopefully I explained that adequately. Thank you!

[alieninformer]

Awesome! Thanks and I’ll remember that next time I have something to share.

And I honestly don’t know enough about bbPress (yet) to integrate that yet BUT I will soon I hope lol.

I also wanted to point out the reason I have (‘sidebar-widget-area’) in mine is I also have footer widgets. By default, then most are simple () and all you need to do is add ‘widget name’ here.

[cliff1976]

I am enthusiastic about bbPress 2.0, but I am severely missing the ability to restrict access to specific, named forums.

Public / Private / Hidden separation of access is not sufficient for my purposes. I need to have the ability to grant different users access to several distinct hidden forums.

I’ve been scouring this board and the WordPress plugins section for something that is bbPress 2.0 compatible and so far had no luck.

Is there something obvious I’m missing? Any core functionality in the works to make this happen? Any plugins doing that already?

In a nutshell, this is what I need:

Users A,B,C can see Hidden Forum #1.

Users C,D,E can see Hidden Forum #2.

Users A,B cannot see Hidden Forum #2.

Users D,E cannot see Hidden Forum #1.

User C can see both hidden forums.

Administrators can, of course, see any hidden forum.

I’ve been looking into how to make a plugin to bbPress that reads from an email inbox and essentially gives bbPress mailing-list like properties.

[Gautam Gupta]

Thanks for the share! You might want to use is_bbpress() function (found in bbp-includes/bbp-common-template.php instead of $uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; if ( strpos($uri,'YOUR-FORUM-BASE') !== false ) {

I have wrapped your code blocks in backticks for easier reading.

[sjd4]

Yeah, I eventually uncommented the code and went the .htaccess route. I was hoping someone with more php experience or a developer could identify the issue based on those few changes.

[bbpressHermit]

Another trick is to redirect via .htaccess. Ugly but it works.

So, Intense Debate has a plugin that works/syncs with WordPress comments. Would something like this ever work with bbPress?

http://intensedebate.com/wordpress

A key feature of it is “reply-to-thread by email” which would be killer for bbPress

[Anointed]

Because the skeleton plugin adds the capability of adding theme templates which do not require added markup such as the header/footer/etc.

The way it is now, bbPress has a bunch of twentyten specific templates which handle all the output for bbPress. Each of these templates carries the overall ‘layout’ for twentyten instead of just what is output by bbPress.

If my understanding is correct, I would create a single bbpress.php file that holds just the twentyten layout. ‘The_content’ would then be auto replaced according to what page you are on.

This would mean that in order to get a custom setup in any theme, I would only have to modify one template file, ‘the twentyten base layout’ instead of modifying every file.

Basically I am trying to find a way of making it easier for me to build and market bbPress templates that work in any theme.

An example would be people that don’t want a sidebar. You would simple change the bbpress.php file to remove the sidebar, change the css attribute for the content area to be fullwidth and your done. You don’t have to modify the other bbPress templates.

*Yeah, I know, there are shortcodes, custom page templates etc already avail, but trying to find an even better approach.

[djoep]

Just curious… since bbpress 2.0 uses wordpress custom posts rather than it’s own dB tables, what would you be expecting of such a skeleton plugin? As far as I have seen, normal WP plugins appear to apply to bbpress 2.0, though one could take advantage of the new post types like forum, topic, etc.

[Anointed]

OK, I am way behind the times as I just found out about the bp skeleton framework with the plugin.php concept.

My understanding of how it works is still quite basic but if I get it right, a setup like this means I can finally get rid of the extraneous divs like header/footer/sidebar etc from all the templates thus making themes work much easier in all themes.

Is there a skeleton plugin.php for bbPress available?

If so, could someone provide a basic example of how to get it working?

[tikijj]

Hello. I installed the plugin version of bbpress about a month ago, then I uninstalled it opting for another forum software. However, I changed my mind and I installed the bbpress plugin again, but the forum page is not appearing. The plugin installed fine and I also see the forum menu in the WP menu, but when I go to the forum it says ‘Not Found Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.’

Can anyone help me get this thing up and running? Thanks for your help.

[Anointed]

How do I properly add the word ‘Pages:’ before the pagination loops?

Normally I apply a ‘before’ argument to functions like this, but it’s not working. My best guess is that ‘before’ or ‘after’ are not valid arguments for the bbpress pagination. I just need a simple way of making sure that the before text is only going to show up if there is indeed pagination links to display.

[Anointed]

I am using custom theme templates from bbPress within my own theme. So no shortcodes or creating pages etc.

What I am trying to do is to show the list of most recent topics below the forum list on the forum homepage.

I am using the following code:

<div id="forum-front" class="bbp-forum-front">

<div class="entry-content">



<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-forum' ); ?>

<br><br>

<h3><?php _e( 'Recent Topics: ', 'bbpress' ); ?></h3><br />

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-topic' ); ?>



</div>

</div><!-- #forum-front -->

This seems to work, however, the pagination for the topics is wrong. Currently it tries to go to /forums/forum/last-forum-title/page/2/

It should go /topics/page/2/

Using the default bbPress templates within my own theme, what would I add to the archive-forum.php file in order to show recent topics with pagination that works right?

*I saw that devpress managed to pull it off, so asked over there as well.

Here is my translation for bbPress 2.0 module in Romanian language. I made it in the traditional Poedit.

I tried to find a solution to import it into GlotPress but it seems it is impossible with my contributor account type and to copy/paste 733 strings is not a nice job to do.

If there is any validator for Romanian language you can use these files to update the official translation.
