Egh, that screws up some topic posting permissions.

[bradsucks]

Hmm. Well, I came up with a hack for my hard coded archive-forum.php. I threw:

$wp_query->query_vars = null;

in before any of the bbPress code and that seems to make it stop thinking it’s in a forum. It works but it’s ugly.

Thanks again Andre.

[Andre]

The best suggestion I have is to keep the page “forum”, make the base “forums”, and make the single slug “forum”.

I hope there are some more options for this on the way.

[bradsucks]

Okay, new problem:

I made a /forums/ page with those two shortcuts in it and it works fine as long as I rename my forums base archive slug to something other than forums. Otherwise the contents of archive-forum.php display instead of my shortcode page.

This would be fine except it replaces /forums/ in all the URLs with whatever I specify as my forums base archive slug. Any ideas?

[Andre]

I’m not enough of a coder to be much help, but I would start here https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin/bbp-includes/bbp-core-shortcodes.php

[bradsucks]

I hard coded it so I could get some more control over it but perhaps that’s the issue, good to know it’s in there though. I’ll hack around and see.

[Andre]

I created a page and put [bbp-topic-index] and [bbp-topic-form] as the content. It’s letting me choose the forum and topic type. Is this the method you used or did you hard code it?

(I’d give you the URL to the page I created, but I don’t think it would do any good since you can’t login so you won’t see the create a topic form.)

[bradsucks]

Thanks Andre — working good here now, though I’ve switched to a custom template page now that I see how it works. My next (and hopefully last) question:

On my topics index page I’ve included the form-topic template so users can create topics from that page. The topic form however seems to have no functionality for choosing what forum to post in so it defaults to one of them. Is there a way to fix that?

Thanks again.

OK I found the problem. the theme calls the sidebar(s) in the footer also.

Hi

I hope to find an answer here. I write to WordPress, to bluehost, everywhere and anybody answer to me. I explain my problem:

I must re-install all my website, and it’s impossible to have on-site

registration box, on the right column in the begin. I try all since for

days. Only invitations run. But I want register members who want to take

part on this platform.

The page of BP Compability, this sentence is:

“Navigation Links

“You may want to add new navigation tabs or links to your theme to link to

BuddyPress directory pages. The default set of links are:

Register: http://www.faicmfsf.org/register/ (registration must be

enabled)”

But I look at for this file, I don’t find it. I made a special page for

regster too, but it didn’t run. For all other files for register, they are

all active, it’s ok. Just one on “BuddyPress / pb-core / pb-core-

signup.php (inactive)” What I must to do.

I want to put widgets for register, but anyone run. Sorry for my bad

english.

I’m using a wpmu install using wp 3.1.3 and bbPress 2.0-beta-3b

Can I set the home page to the forums or do I need to modify the index to show forums instead? Brand new to bbpress pretty seasoned wp developer.

Thanks for your help!

* What theme are you using

bbPress (Twenty Ten) 1.2

* Did they ever work correctly

No

* Does that tag actually have topics in it

Yes

[Andre]

There has to be a way via CSS, but I don’t know what it is. Hopefully one of the more experience people will point you in the right direction.

[Andre]

Create a page and put “[bbp-topic-index]” as the content. That will make the page list the topics.

Someone reported having trouble with that function here – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbp-topic-index-does-not-function-properly-at-certain-circumstances.

[aijuswanadoo]

I want to make a forum theme and functionality similar to the one on bbpress.org now.

I especially like the avatars also!

what is needed to duplicate this simple yet beautiful theme?

[bradsucks]

In bbPress 2.0 is there a way to get all the topics on one page like in the forums here? Right now it seems to default to showing you a list of forums at /forums/ but I’d rather visitors see a list of all the topics. Thanks!

[wpdev2]

is there a way that i can allow inline images on a bbress wordpress plugin install?

[wpdev2]

it’s not possible to setup bbpress w/o a database.

bbress requires a mysql database. most hosting providers support mysql databases including most shared hosting plans (around $5 per month). the bbpress mysql database is configured upon installation of bbress.

[Andre]

bbPress-standalone plugins are not compatible with bbPress-plugin. bbPress-plugin plugins are installed the same way WordPress plugins are installed and do not use the my-plugins directory.

[wpdev2]

i’m using the bbpress wordpress plugin. are bbpress plugins compatible w/ the bbpress wordpress plugin?

i don’t see a my-plugins directory. how can i install bbpress plugins on a wordpress bbpress install?

[Stru]

I am having the exact same problem. Except that I haven’t installed any version of bbpress up til now.

I am using the Arras theme

[tooltrainer]

I have a feature request, in case it hasn’t been brought up before (seems unlikely but never know…)

Normally all links in a bbP install open in the same browser window, but this takes everyone away from your forum when they click an external link.

I would like to request that a selectable feature to make all external links open with target=”_blank” (or equivalent) be added to bbP to prevent this. I’ve had a number of members mention that they wished links would open in a separate tab/window.

Thanks for considering!

When it comes time to migrate the bbPress.org forums, we’ll likely have similar issues. Whatever solution we come up with, I’ll be sure to make available.

[John James Jacoby]

A few people have had this similar issue, and so far we haven’t been able to pin-point the exact cause. Any additional details you can offer would be helpful.

* Other plugins you are using

* What are your permalink settings

* What theme are you using

* Did they ever work correctly

* Does that tag actually have topics in it

[John James Jacoby]

bbPress does not come with things like attachments enabled, since opening up the file system to untrusted users isn’t something to be considered lightly. To do all those fancy things, you’ll want to write plugins for bbPress to enable and handle that type of enhancement.
