On this same page it would be great if I could have the bbp-forum-description, currently listed under the sub-forums, to be shown under the bbp-forum-title.

This can be accomplished with modifications to template files.

How can I list the sub-forums in a single line order

This is a style issue. Dig into the CSS and turn those list items into display:list-item; from #content table tbody tr ul.bbp-forums li in bbpress.css on line 285.

You’ll probably want to get rid of the pipe separator, as well.

Pass some $args through bbp_list_forums.

If your using custom templates, locate the loop-single-forum.php file. Somewhere around line 25 you should find the bbp_list_forums function. Pass it some $args like so:

<?php bbp_list_forums(array('separator' => '','show_topic_count' => false, 'show_reply_count' => false)); ?>

I’d really like to have the ‘Remember Me’ phrase be inline with the checkbox

In your stylesheet http://pacificbeach.me/wp-content/themes/jq/lib/css/style_ext.css on line 161, the label rule is throwing it off. Try adding a rule similar to this:

p.rememberme label: display: inline;

That worked for me in Chrome.

Hope I’ve gotten you closer!

Your request can be accomplished with a little grunt work. Are you asking for an “all-in-one” shortcode?

…with the exception of being able to hide the sidebars.

Content areas and sidebars are independent areas within a WordPress installation. Hiding the sidebar can be accomplished a few different ways: Within Appearance > Widgets, or you could comment out the code in the template files. But sidebars/widgets are always independent of content areas.

Why can’t the whole forum be put into a short-code so it can be applied inside a full-width page?

Why can’t a full width page be created and the shortcode placed inside? That is more in tune with what WordPress is built to do. Create a page. Give it a full width template (if your theme provides it), and place the shortcode within that page. Anything after that is accomplished is a style issue. I just wrote a post about full-width forums in your other topic:

Full-Width Forum

You can also read up on shortcodes here:

bbPress 2.0 – Shortcodes

bbPress does a good job of being a forum out of the box. Sure, there are issues, but the code is still in its infancy. Any cosmetic customization is up to the user, however.

[travis.hill]

Switch the forums to hidden instead of private. In that case, your customers will still see the forums and have access to them, but non-customers won’t even know they exist. Why have your customers clicking on links they can’t access anyways?

[liamatkins]

No I got that thanks, I need to install the plugins for it, and I understand you can’t just install plugins using the normal WP PLugin install, is that right?

Thanks,

Liam

Do you mean in your Dashboard > Settings > Forums? Each site will have its own. Hope that is what your looking for.

Hi all

I am currently setting up a multi-site wordpress install which will have distinct groups of people, each with access to the forum, one sub-site for their group, and the main pages. I am currently trying to set up a hidden/private forum for each group of users.

My back up plan is to create a seperate forum in each subsite, but I would prefer to be able to have all the forums together.

Each group of users will have slightly different roles and capabilites, so I can add capabilities such as view_group1_forums etc. if it is possible to create multiple types of hidden forum.

I am running wordpress 3.1.2 with bbpress 2.0

[liamatkins]

Hi there, I’m new to this Forum after heading my head against a brickwall for an awful long time.

I’m trying to install some plugins and adjust the settings for BBpress which is on my WPMU installation. Each blog has its own Forum, but I just can’t find the administration link.

Even for the master account local-politics.co.uk I can’t find it. I have tried all the suggestions /forums/bbpress /forums/bbp-admin /forums/bb-admin along with a few more.

But I can’t seem to find it anywhere. If someone could help me they would be an absolute lifesaver!

Thank you.

Liam

[Dan Milward]

Thanks for the Plugin!!

I hope this Plugin keeps growing and evolving – there is totally a need for this!!

[highexistence]

That fixes the first error but I’m still getting this one:

topic.js:39Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method ‘wpList’

I’ve tried deactivating all plugins besides BBpress, switching to the default theme and re-installing BBpress. The errors still comes up.

wplist.js is being called before topic.js so it must be something in the code…?

[PureRover]

I have tested several forums with WordPress. Both as separate program and as integrated program/plugin. Every forum we tested had major issues that would prevent being used on our site.

We have installed bbpress plugin and found it very flexible with the exception of being able to hide the sidebars.

Why can’t the whole forum be put into a short-code so it can be applied inside a full-width page?

This forum is full of questions and requests for ppPress to be imbedded via short-code right into a full-width page. Why is it so hard to accomplish this. Afterall, ppPress is written by the same people that created wordpress.

This is very frustrating.

Hi, I recently install bbpress on my site. I created a login using the shortcodes but for one it prompts that you can’t register and also if you do sign in using my admin it will show already signed in and will not go to the forum. For the forum I cannot find a way to connect it to a page either. Perhaps if anyone could shed some light on this that would be great. Thank you very much

[highexistence]

JQuery is called first and I’ve tried only activating BBpress and Buddypress and the error is still there.

Thanks for your help mate! This is a tough one. If you have any other suggestions, I’m all ears. Thanks again.

[ns32]

We’re having the same issue.

[travis.hill]

Try setting up the group forums again through the BuddyPress Admin. Note though, that by effectively deactivating bbPress 2.0, the issue is now BuddyPress related, not bbPress 2.0.

Try re-installing (or using an existing install) of the Forums for Groups through BuddyPress.

I had this same issue not long ago, but unfortunately don’t remember the exact fix. I know I played with the group forum settings in the buddypress admin area and got it working as expected.

[webowner]

Hi and thank you so much for the reply. Much appreciated.

I have taken your suggestion and have deactivated the bbpress plug-in.

So now I only have the community page set as a forum.

But still cannot add a new topic.

Any ideas?

[travis.hill]

Looks like you still have both activated. You can use both, provided you change link settings for bbPress 2.0.

BuddyPress will claim the /forums/ permalink (and create a page). Try changing your Archive slugs in the bbPress Forums Settings Page (Settings > Forums) to something other than /forums/. /community/ is a good choice.

By doing so, you are effectively using both forum types (groups and site). The group forums will be through /forums/ and the site forums will be through /community/.

If you don’t want both forums types, deactivate the bbPress 2.0 plugin.

[grafics]

Took a shot based on comments on this board and all now seems to be well.

I unchecked the forum prefix and set the forum and topic (single slugs) to forum and topic. Single topic is now displaying correctly and using the custom buddypress child theme.

If it makes any difference, this is a buddypress/bbpress plugin install. I have not moved any bbpress files into my child theme.

Thanks to everyone for all the good advice!

Hi All,

I own a web business and am now using bbpress 2.0 and buddypress together.

I’m a bit confused about the Forum; but for now can display the bbpress one.

However, I woudl rather have the buddypress forum; because it looks so much nicer in

it’s appearance (group forum).

But the problem is, with buddypress I cannot add new topic.

What is the matter, and how do I fix?

[Anointed]

I am adding a number of new options to bbPress and want to add the user inputs to the bbPress options page. Instead of messing around with the default options page, I simply want to add a few tabs to the page where I can add my options.

I do know how to do this when writing my own page from scratch, but do not yet know how to add tabs and options to an existing bbPress options page.

example of what I am talking about:

http://digitalraindrops.net/2011/02/tabbed-options-page/

Can anyone point me to a plugin, or code snippet that would show me how to extend the bbPress options page with tabs and options?

thnx

[Anointed]

I’ve been following the trac ticket http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17144 where we are now able to bring the editor to the front end of our sites. Seemed like a perfect addition to bbPress.

Has anyone come across a good tutorial on using the new api?

[webowner]

Hi All,

I own a web business and have sucessfully installed Bbpress.

Please tell me if there is a way to order the “posts” in the Forum?

Link is: http://buddy.focusonedesign.ca, although I am still working on it.

Many thanks.

[Andre]

You were on the right track when you enabled bbPress solely on the 1 main site.

Install WP.

Enable Multisite, but you don’t have to create the other sites yet.

Install and activate Buddypress without installing or activating forums through BuddyPress.

Install and activate bbPress.

You are going to get that warning for the time being because BuddyPress 1.5 and bbPress 2.0 aren’t fully integrated yet. Better/Full integration is being worked on for BuddyPress 1.6 which is supposed to come out around the same time as WP 3.3, which just hit beta 1 and is scheduled for release at the end of November

Hey all!

I am trying to make my dream-setup:

One multi-site with six sites.

The main site has bussypress1.5 with bbPress2.0.

I can;t get this to work… Is there already a tutorial on how to do this?

At first I tried installing BuddyP. and then activating fora and installing bbPress in the process; enebling it network-wide. But then the bbPress-fora show up on the dashboard of every site.

Now I tried to enable bbPress only on the site I want to use it, but it generates conflicts with the Buddypress installation. I get this error:

“The forums component has not been set up yet.”

(also, on a side-note; BuddyPress can only be configured on the dashboard of the Network, not only on the site I actually want to have it running on, but that seems to fit maybe more on the BuddyPress forum).

I’d be gratefull for any help or step-by-step guidance here!

[dizmarkie]

I’m using SEO by yoast to handle my breadcrumbs. When my forum pages load this seems to inject the output of the forum breadcrumbs into my own breadcrumbs and breaks the logic.

If I remove my function then the forum logic’s breadcrumbs work great.

I have my logic in my header.php file and would like to keep it there due to the way my layout is built and would prefer to not have to include it on a per page basis.

Is there a condition i could put to not show my own breadcrumb logic on ANY forum related page? so it inherits the bbpress breadcrumbs?

I tried

if !is_page_template (‘forum.php’) and it didn’t work.

I have a page template for my forum in a file called forum.php

thanks in advance

[Andre]

That would probably require bbPress 2.0. You could insert a topic specific short code into the discussion tab. You’d also have a separate area that has all of the forum content, but you wouldn’t have to put a visible link to the forum anyplace.
