Sure, this is an example of loop-topic.php:

<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>



(etc...)



<div class="vote-count<?php rating_class($thumbs_number); ?>">

<h4>

<?php wp_gdsr_render_article_thumbs(); ?></h4><span><?php votes_text($thumbs_number); ?></span>

</div><?php $replies_number = bbp_get_topic_reply_count(); ?>



<div class="reply-count<?php reply_class($replies_number); ?>">

<h4>

<?php bbp_topic_reply_count(); ?></h4><span><?php reply_text($replies_number); ?></span>

</div>



<div class="freshness-count">

<h4>

<?php bbp_topic_freshness_link(); ?></h4><span><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>

</div>

(etc…)

Basically, you just have to place the code that generates the rating inside the bbpress loop. You can place it in files like loop-topic.php, loop-replies.php, etc.

Almost all voting and rating plugins work this way (I’m using gd star rating).

The next step is to be able to sort the topics and replies according to their rating. But I’ve already spent one year trying that with no results.

bbpress 2.0 was working pretty well until i installed buddypress 1.5 (test site) and now, instead of the old bbpress profiles (w favorites!), there is the buddypress profile, which is nice, except… the problem i’m having is that as far as i can tell the forum (bbpress 2.0) topic favorites are not showing up in the buddypress profile under favorites or anywhere else that i can see.

i’ve googled around and found other mentions of conflicting profile issues, but so far no definitive answers as to how bbpress and buddypress profiles are supposed to work together.

maybe i’m missing something? i haven’t tried using buddypress before. are the user bbpress 2.0 forum topic favorites available in buddypress somewhere and i’m just not seeing them?

or do the bbpress 2.0. forum topic favorites go missing when buddypress is installed? if that the case, is there a work around?

I seem to be having a problem using shortcodes – see this post: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/funky-action-with-pages-with-shortcodes

Since I cannot use shortcodes, and my forums page http://allaboutfocus.com/forums does not have a registration link anyplace, how do people register to participate in my forums? Every forum page says you must be logged in but they give you no way to login or register.

Thanks,

Patrick

How does one adjust the timezone in bbpress? All fresh topics are showing 5 hours old. They are not paying attention to the WP timezone settings.

[binarymoon]

That’s the whole point – I didn’t set it to 0. I was trying to set the number smaller to see what happens when topics get split into pages (which incidentally doesn’t seem to happen).

To reproduce enable WP_DEBUG and try saving a setting in the bbpress control panel. I got all sorts of errors when I did that.

In addition I have not yet been able to edit a setting. If I disable WP_DEBUG then the page refreshes when I press save but the settings do not get updated.

Please note I am using WP3.3 nightlies – so perhaps something has changed there.

Hi, I just re-found bbPress and while I redeveloping my site services I also create a forum.

Visit forum at http://nicherss.com/forums/

There is a lot to do!

[highexistence]

@johnjamesjacoby — could you give more specific instructions on how to do this?

I’ve tried all combinations of file placement and am using this:

define(‘WPLANG’, ‘en_US’);

define(‘BBLANG’, ‘en_US’);

[highexistence]

This fixed itself randomly for no good reason

Hello all,

I am trying to setup bbpress on my test site. I want to replace Simple forum.

I followed BJ’s walkthrough and got it showing on the “forums” page.

From admin interface i created couple of forums, and couple of topics.

I can see the forums on http://www.8ball.lu/wordpress/forums

But when i click on any forum name i get a “page not found” error.

What am i doing wrong?

My parent theme is a custom theme created with Themeframe (im astill working on it, and currently i have only changed the menu). I did not touch yet the default templates.

Thank you.

[Stephen Edgar]

Not exactly what I planned on doing today whilst sitting in the back of a car! Though whilst browsing these forums I bumbed into this thread and have kicked it off on my iPad with a bbPress test site importing from 30,000 post PHPBB site, been running now for around 30 minutes.

I’ll add some follow ups on how the data Looks in bbPress when I have the right tools

EDIT: ~90 minutes after above

After ~60 minutes I have stopped it and had a look at the WordPress tables with myphpadmin and I cannot see any new posts in ‘wp_posts’ or ‘wp_users’

Is the ‘PhpBB_Not_Complete’ import tool active? i.e. Should I see more than nothing, nil, null as a result of trying this?

Cheers,

Stephen

I installed bbPress via the WordPress Plugins tab and I have copied the template files to my custom theme and customized them (basicly just removed the sidebar) and added the add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ); line in functions.php.

It’s like the topics are set to hidden.

I have checked and double checked that the publish status is set to published. What do?

Thank you for any help.

Bugs/inconsistencies:

– “Assign topic to” appears on all forums. That’s okay I guess, but should be an option, not mandatory.

– If a “Resolved” or “Urgent” topic is moved to a non-support forum, the prefix will stay, but there’s no way of removing it as the extra controls don’t exist in this forum. When moving support topics to non-support forums, I would suggest stripping away all extra features entirely.

I seem to remember the first time I did it the process was clean, but in all my last attempts I’ve received this error when moving a topic out of the troubleshooting board:

I took it for a spin, and here’s my feedback thus far:

A lot of functionality should be in its own plugins.

– Move forum:

I’m surprised this isn’t in core already; I thought it was. In any case, this would make much more sense as a stand-alone plugin, as its useful for all topics, not just support topics.

– Forum Ranks:

As far as I can tell, it doesn’t tie directly in with support topics; it’s a completely separate feature. Maybe you have plans for it, but if that’s the case I still think you should just have two plugins communicate, as this is something many support forums won’t need. I personally dislike forum ranks. I consider it unwarranted labeling. On the jMonkeyEngine forum we frequently see first time posters with 10+ years of Java experience, which is the type of experience that holds weight in our community, not # of forum posts.

– Please separate your settings from bbPress’ options page. Your plugin offers so many options (which by itself is great) that it ends up bloating the options page.

– I think the default setting should reflect the one in this screenshot:

https://s.w.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-vip-support-plugin/screenshot-3.png?r=448946

That part slipped by me in the settings screen, and when I tested the plugin I was puzzled by how I couldn’t change my test support topic to “resolved”.

– What about a widget for the resolved/not resolved drop-down? (Same goes for Assign topic, and possibly some others I haven’t noticed yet). This would make it easier to fit it in with custom themes. This also means admin should have the option to turn off the in-built drop-down.

Oh and as recommended, add the bbpress tag to your plugin. It’s the default bbPress plugin tag, and currently the most convenient way of keeping up with the latest bbPress 2 plugins.

Having language files for bbPress 2.0 isn’t enough. The proper translation files need to exist for WordPress also.

[amirsaam]

I do not think you’re do the right thing guys. I think you jus’ must put the language file into WP language directory (wp-content/languages) with a name like (I’m not sure about it) bbp-fa_IR.po or bbppress-fa_IR.po and/or mo. That fa-IR is for my language, example for english: en_US

[master5o1]

This works a whole lot better than the built in converter.

The built in one could only handle 15 topics and, this plugin one is doing them all

[master5o1]

Not sure why the [bbp-*] shortcodes aren’t working on this page.

[binarymoon]

In the WordPress admin I am getting an error saving forum settings.

Warning: intval() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /xxx/xxx/xxx/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 170

Because of this error I also get further errors when using the TwentyTen bbpress theme.

Warning: Division by zero in /xxx/xxx/xxx/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-template.php on line 382

This is happening because get_option(‘_bbp_replies_per_page’); is now empty

[tgiokdi]

with the small details that still need to be worked out, I think we’d better wait till a 2.1 release to actually mention it. a fair amount of people are still a little confused as to where the forums are installed to, how to administrate them, and most importantly, how to integrate their themes into the new bbpress. I’d say after those three major things are mentioned in the install instructions and made a bit clearer / automated, then it’s time to invite the masses

[tgiokdi]

are you attempting to use two different themes for your site? one for the wordpress install and one for the bbpress? in my own installations, I didn’t copy or move any templates around at all, and just installed bbpress and it worked with the template that I was using for my main site…

[tgiokdi]

@andreas your site’s css isn’t loading properly for me on any of your pages, I’d look into that first before you look into what’s going on with bbpress.

@ferdilicious sorry someone couldn’t help you with your needs

[highexistence]

All ajax functionality on single topic pages are broken. I get the following errors on:

wp-lists.js:1 — Uncaught ReferenceError: ajaxurl is not defined

topic.js:39 — Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method ‘wpList’

I’m using a copy of the TwentTen BBpress theme, but it doesn’t work even if I switch back to the default theme. I’m using the BBpress plugin with Buddypress, not standalone.

[goldmember]

If you look at a topic thread on my site (http://willowbilliards.com/forum/topic/test-topic-3/) you’ll notice that there’s no avatars showing.

I figured out that the place where the code should exist is in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php so I stuck a message that says “avatar should go here”. Here’s the code from that page: http://pastebin.com/dMLeD6LV

But what do I need to put there so the avatar actually shows? Please advise. Thanks in advance!

[Ronald Rogers]

It’s pretty much all stated in the title.

There doesn’t appear to be anything preventing guests from seeing hidden or private topics when the [bbp-topic-index] short code is used.

There is a forum on the site that only people that can view private forums are supposed to know about. You can’t view the topic’s contents, but the existence of the forum is nevertheless betrayed in the index.

I was able to fix the problem by adding a check in the loop-single-topic.php template file.

[highexistence]

Same problem, I’m using the BBpress 2.0 plugin with WordPress and cannot get the BB language file to be implemented.

I used define(‘BBLANG’, ‘hethen’); in wp-config and also placed the .mo file in wp-content/languages and in bbpress/bbp-languages/
