Hi

I am about to do some maintenance on my forum and want to leave a message to the members.

I have searhed the forums and the web without result.

How can this be done in a easy way. Something like below but for bbpress or a plugin maybe?

function wpr_maintenance_mode() {

if ( !current_user_can( ‘edit_themes’ ) || !is_user_logged_in() ) {

wp_die(‘Maintenance, please come back soon.’);

}

}

add_action(‘get_header’, ‘wpr_maintenance_mode’);

Was editing my theme files to incorporate new stuff, and found that single-reply-edit.php says “native” at the top of the file, for no apparent reason that I can tell.

EDIT: There are actually a whole bunch of files that say “native” at the top. Is this some sort of “tag” that is quietly removed from the pages at output time or something?

Seems to only do that if I select the child theme as the activated theme.

Are we supposed to have the bbpress twenty ten as activated or what? -_-

Hi John, firstly, thanks so much for the work you’re doing. I think BBPress is a great product.

I’ve just installed Beta 3 and am getting the Forum breadcrumb link not working issue. I created a Forums page on our site and added the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode to the page. The page address is “?page_id=155”.

For the uninitiated, could you please give a dummies version of what I need to do to get the Forums link pointing back to that page.

Thanks heaps

Users roles haven’t been changed from the default settings. The only settings set regarding users is that they can register AND create sites.

No, not even as the super admin will it post.

Thanks, Bryan

[John James Jacoby]

Cool thanks for reporting. Any idea what role the users are that are having the issues? Are you able to post topics and replies as a site admin?

[master5o1]

I think the process should have a few more steps as to prevent time outs. Currently it just fails/times out on my forum import, which has 33,500 posts, 1,500 topics and 12 forums.

I think that the importation should first import the forums, allowing you to select which forum you would like to import.

Then the next screen is importing topics from the forums that were just imported.

The process should be broken down to prevent time outs, so only topics from one forum at a time should be imported.

Importing users’ favourite should be the last thing.

Although, I thought that perhaps it would have been better ( though more coding I guess ) if the importer didn’t rely on access to bb-config.php.

The bbPress plugin doesn’t appear to work on multisite at all as far as creating topics is concerned. It works in appearance, displaying, adding cats and forums, adjusting settings etc.

However, when submitting a topic nothing happens, it just sort of bounces/reloads the page but certainly doesn’t create/post the topic.

Thanks, Bryan

Only noticed this since my test site got beta3 the other day.

http://beta.tartarus.co.nz/ is the WP, and /forum/ is a page that uses the [bbp-topic-index] and [bbp-forum-index] with default templating (ie: not Forum Index template).

I’ve got three screenshots which show the bbpress plugin settings for the slugs, the /forum/ “Recent Topics” page, the forums slug /forums/ page when you click Forums in the breadcrumb, and my work around to make it behave how I want it to behave (see the urls too).

So 1.png is the /forum/ page.

http://dump.master5o1.com/files/images/bbp/1.png

2.png is the /forums/ slug page as WP/bbp naturally does it.

http://dump.master5o1.com/files/images/bbp/2.png

3.png is done using /forums/index.php to redirect to /forum/.

http://dump.master5o1.com/files/images/bbp/3.png

If I made the /forum/ page slug be forums then it would show blank page probably because bbpress is getting in there first and showing the forum slug page which is blank -_-

I think that if bbpress returns a blank page, it should tell WP that it hasn’t found anything and for WP to continue to look for the page. But I don’t know how the plugin works much atm.

First timer here. I’ve uploaded the bbpress files to my server and was greeted with the installation process. Perfect. Then I am asked for the database name, username, and password. I followed the instructions provided by my hosting service provider to create a new database. Once I did that I was able to create a new user (and password, of course). Next, I inputed this information into the bbpress install form, but when I clicked “Take me to the next step” I received this server error:

“HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.”

Did I input the database information in wrong? Do I need to wait for the servers to update? Any help would be appreciated.

@JJJ – In which versions of BuddyPress and bbPress do you expect BuddyPress to use the plugin instead of the stand alone?

[John James Jacoby]

@Patrick – Just audited the usage of bbp_get_reply_url() and bbp_get_reply_position() and made some changes. I’ll be sure to test paginated reply subscription notifications before pushing out RC1.

I’d want to move our 2000+ user forum from bbpress 0.9.3 to bbpress 2 as soon as it’s stable and tested. Will it be possible to save all the internal links as they are now (id-based)? And will the transfer of the 100k+ posts be easy at all?

How about Private Messaging plugin and other extra features which are now run by plugins?

Sorry about that everyone. Typo in the template parts. Fixing asap.

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

…should be…

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

…as seen here at the trac revision.

And here. Update to beta-3 and suddenly Forum Index doesn’t display anything.

To clarify, this was a page with the template “bbPress – Forums (Index)”.

Adding a new page with the same template also failed to show the index.

However, adding the shortcode

[bbp-forum-index]

to the page content makes the forum index appear again.

I’ve been a little out of the loop so I don’t know if this is intentional – maybe the index template isn’t the way to do it now and we’re supposed to use the shortcode. Using the shortcode does have the advantage of being able to add text before and after the forum index. Other template pages seem fine though.

In any event, it’s simple to fix.

Hi, I have wp 313 and bbpress 102. I tried to integrate them following the instructions available at Docs, but I got the famous “User doesn’t exist” error. I tried to find a solution to this problem but those suggested in the forum do not work. What can I do?

[Patrick Daly]

The email notification reply link is fixed in Beta 3. Thanks. A new bug though: that link only works if the reply is on the first of many pages.

For example, the latest reply was emailed to me with this link: http://devpress.com/forums/topics/new-design/#post-2119

Pagination puts that reply on page 2 which means that link doesn’t actually take me to the reply and I have to go to the next page manually.

This is the working link: http://devpress.com/forums/topics/new-design/page/2/#post-2119

Also, that link actually has another bug report

There was a conflict noted with the bbPress topic tag slug. I changed it which cleared the conflict but the tag page still isn’t returning any results (“Oh bother! No topics were found here!”).

And ‘forums’ is the root of all the forum permalinks on my setup (everything else is default, I believe.)

[John James Jacoby]

@bradsucks – Topic tag behavior seems to be hit or miss since Beta 1. I’ve added some extra logic into the permalinks to check for conflicts with any other slugs or permalinks. Check your forums and permalinks settings, and see if there are any notes about conflicts. There can be some collisions with blog post tags if you have your topic-tag slug set to “tag” and are choosing to not include the forums archive as the root of all forum permalinks.

[bradsucks]

Just upgraded to beta 3 and my topic tag pages don’t return any results now (on the default theme). Is anyone else having this problem?

Also was there any change in the root breadcrumb behavior? I think I read there was going to be so I held off implementing a fix.

Thanks for all your hard work, bbPress 2 is looking great.

[John James Jacoby]

@Fartlek – The Akismet integration was largely contributed by cnorris23, and Nightgunner5. Props to them

[John James Jacoby]

If you’re not a developer, the time it would take you to learn how to integrate multiple versions of bbPress/WordPress with cookie sharing would most likely not be cost effective.

[John James Jacoby]

Happy to oblige.

[ideoplasm]

Tremendous! I just updated, checked it, and it worked! If only all prayers were answered as rapidly!
