I have bbpress plugin + buddypress installed.

If I use the “Mark as Spammer” function in buddypress, because it is not linked with bbpress plugin, this Member is still allowed to post in the Forums !!

This is a big issue for me as I have 10k members on my website, and hopefully most of them will join my forums soon … and unfortunately, some of them are real troublemakers that we need to control in some ways …

I hope that bbpress plugin will get more advanced moderation tools very soon !

Any plans about this ?

Thank you

PS. I understand that bbpress plugins users are the same as my WordPress subscribers … I wonder if I could use a regular wordpress plugin for this ? Any help appreciated !

@pimarts

Regarding redirection plugin ;

the URL, of course, is different for each user …

Can the plugin handle this ?

Ex. My URL for bbpress Member is :

http://www.mjtutoriels.com/blog/forums-audio-mao/membres/USERNAME

and same user in buddypress :

http://www.mjtutoriels.com/blog/members/USERNAME

or

http://www.mjtutoriels.com/blog/members/USERNAME/profile

I noticed a different (but linked problem) in managing Members

Ok

I got the auto update !

Great,

[master5o1]

Ok, I’ve updated it to 0.3.0, you can get it here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/ when that updates.

[master5o1]

I’m not sure. But it’s really just a collection of images, and a PHP array that binds a particular smiley code (e.g. ‘‘) to a specific image file, (e.g. ‘smile.png’).

So it’s really quite easy to piece together your own smiley package. I might be interested in hosting some on my website as a central and related place for distribution.

The array is practically an overwrite of the array that handles the WordPress’ default smilies.

PS. I’m about to update the plugin to allow this fallback to plugin’s smiley dir, among a few other things that I’ve thought of over the last hour.

[m-jay]

Oh

I was not aware of this redirection plugin …

I’ll give it a try …

[m-jay]

Excellent,

Are there any place on the web to download compatible Smiley packages ?

[master5o1]

Ok, so I’ve got it detecting the smilies in either the /wp-content/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/smilies/ folder or the /wp-content/smilies/ folder.

I recommend that people copy of move the folder from the bbpress-post-toolbar directory so that any custom smilies are not overwritten on an upgrade to the plugin.

[master5o1]

Hi. In the plugin directory I have included a folder named smilies. Copy this directory and its contents into the ./wp-content/ directory.

Essentially:

mv ./wp-content/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/smilies ./wp-content/ -r

If you want to change the smilies, take a look at the package-config.php file inside the smilies directory mentioned above and you can probably work out how to switch the files, or add more to the set.

—-

I think I’ll update my plugin so that instead of defaulting to WordPress’ smilies, it’ll defaults to the smilies folder in the plugin dir.

ie: Order of preference will become:

if option allows custom smilies:

./wp-content/smilies/

./wp-content/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/smilies/

else:

WordPress’ default set.

[m-jay]

hi

Your plugin is excellent !

Big up !

Could you explain how to use customised Smileys ?

[pimarts]

For now I made a redirection (with the redirection plugin) to send people visiting the bbpress profile to the buddypress profile.

I hope to see some sort of integration in the future too (maybe through plugins?).

[m-jay]

HI

I guess More an more people will use buddypress + bbpress plugin (rather than installing the bbpress included with buddypress) …

What is the plan for integration in the near future ?

My problem is, when you clic on a name FROM the Forums, you get the Profile page of this user related to his activity inside the forums … right (his favorites, his last posts, his subscriptions, etc ..)

But when you clic on this same user name from another page of my blog, it goes to this user’s Profile related to buddypress ; showing his activity, his friends, and all buddypress custom fields that I created …

This is confusing for users … don’t you think ? They expect to see the buddypress profile when they clic a name in the Forums …

If I have to choose, I’d prefer showing the buddypress profile all the time.

Hope it makes sense ?

[pimarts]

Try this:

.bbPress .hentry table td, .bbPress .hentry table th, .bbp-forum-info {

text-align: left;

}

[m-jay]

Hi

I have bbpress plugin installed.

I have several people to help me moderate the Forums.

But I am the only one, as an administrator, who can MODIFY inside the posts.

Is there a way to give this ability to the people which I assign as FORUM MODERATORS ?

PS. Also, in the Future, I’d appreciate the possibility to have one moderator assigned to a specific Forum … With their name listed near the Forum title, and a different color, or Icon, so people can clearly see who is a Moderator …

[pimarts]

Try this:

.bbPress .hentry table td, .bbPress .hentry table th {

text-align: left;

}

Maybe you’ll need an !important there, but try that first.

Hi Pimarts,

I have tried:

.bbPress #content {text-align:left;}

and

.bbPress #content {text-align:left!important;}

without any luck.

My forum is at:

http://benidorm-selections.com/forum/

Any other ideas gratefully appreciated!

Many thanks,

Glyn

I agree, this is a valid question.

I have a clean brand new install of WordPress.

I installed the buddypress plugin and it seems like it works fine. I don’t like the fact you can’t make any changes to it’s internal install of bbpress (no settings page that I could find) so I don’t enable the forum.

I install the bbPress Plugin (2.0-beta-3b) and it shows up in the dashboard. I can create forums and posts. I cannot get to the default listing of forums on the site.

mydomain.com/forums/ – goes to what looks like a blank wordpress page named “Forums”

I can click view forum from withing the dashboard and it takes me to the forum topic

[Greg]

It has been a month and I think that this is a worthwhile thing to discuss, so giving it a bump.

[wordchef]

I don’t think so. The only thing that might be close is this plugin: Help

Register Plus Redux

but the settings don’t say anything about roles.

The forum is set to private – but that’s because I want people to be logged in to see it. Is that not an option?

[pimarts]

Without seeing the actual site / code I’m afraid I can’t help you. (not promising I can help you (or have the time) when I see it either by the way)

You can target bbPress with

.bbPress

for instance

.bbPress #content {

width:903px;

}

[pimarts]

Did you set the forum to private or hidden?

Or do you run any role / capabilities plugin? (Like ‘members’ for instance)

[wordchef]

I’m able to get a user to register just fine, (I tested it myself) but once I’m logged in as a different user, it doesn’t allow me to see the forum. I’ve got screen shots I can share, but not sure how to upload here.

[grt]

Hi Pimarts,

I have found that code in one of my plugins and deactivated it but without luck.

I have also tried adding “body {text-align:left!important}” to my Custom CSS, but also without any joy.

Do you know of any CSS that I might be able to add to directly affect the bbPress pages?

Something along the lines of “.bbp-content {text-align:left}”

many thanks,

Glyn
