Hi all

New to bbPress so appreciate your patience in pointing me to a post on the basics of this software. Familiar with the dashboard and created several forums. Only “moderator” and a Ride Share that have 3 child topics seem clickable. Can’t choose any other forum to assign posts to in post edit.

Thanks for your leads

I’d use a custom taxonomy, and a creative UI. Seems it could be done pretty easily with the right developer.

OK thanks guys, I shall keep my eye out for any developments on this! For now, I shall simply get people to vote on a topic by replying with a ‘Yay’ or a ‘Nay’!

[John James Jacoby]

Not that I know of, especially considering the bbPress plugin hasn’t officially been released yet.

[ideoplasm]

So in summary, there is currently no voting/polling system that can work with the bbPress-Plugin?

For 2 days I was banging my head with this problem. Then finally I found this thread. If you have the same problem go to the Forum settings and change the Topic tag slug with something other than tag.

That will do it.

Whether or not an existing WordPress plugin will work with bbPress really is going to depend on what that plugin does and how it’s been developed. Lots of plugins work great out of the box, while others behave strangely not just with bbPress, but any custom post type style plugin.

Plugins for bbPress-plugin and bbpress-standalone are different. I don’t expect too many plugins for bbpress-plugin to show up until it’s out of Beta.

[ideoplasm]

I installed wp-polls plugin, and it functions properly on WordPress posts. The little button in the bbPress topic editor also has the insert-poll button in it – so I tried inserting a wp-poll into a bbPress-plugin topic, but it didn’t work! So I guess this means you really do need a separate poll plugin for the bbPress-Plugin version…?

[ideoplasm]

Hi,

I have the plugin version of bbPress for my WordPress site, and would now like certain forum members to be able to both create and vote on polls within bbPress topics.

So I found the bbPress-Polls plugin, but the installation instructions for it mention a ‘my-plugins’ directory in bbPress file structure. Well, this directory might exist for the bbPress standalone, but I cannot find it in the bbPress Plugin file structure.

Is there a way for the bbPress Plugin to have bbPress-Polls or any other polling/voting that attaches directly to topics (not widgets!)?

I suppose I also have a wider question here too – do all plugin that were developed for the standalone version if bbPress also work for the bbPress-Plugin? If so, is it just a matter of creating a directory or just using a different directory? Is there anything profoundly different to the bbPress plugin?

I’m using the bbpress plugin (Twenty Ten) and would love to know how to make it wider.

For example: http://www.cyclecincy.com/cc/?page_id=71

I’m aware of the search function breaking normal search behaviour, but it’s not a problem in my case. bbPress is sitting in a subdomain and there’s not gonna be any normal blog posts.

As for the topic tags, they should only be limited to the topic post type, you’re right, but when I checked the actual query it turned out that the post, page and attachment post types were being queried, so the above snippet did fix that.

Obviously these are only temporary fixes, but they’ll have to do for now until I find the time to dig deeper.

[John James Jacoby]

Your search function is going to break the normal blog search. Topic tags are already limited to the topic post type, so that shouldn’t change anything. And removing the class from the body doesn’t explain why it’s there to begin with. If $wp_query thinks all bbPress pages are 404’s, there’s a bigger problem.

Hi,

Basic stupid newbie question, but I tried looking for an answer and couldn’t find it:

I have done a bbPress installation on this website:

http://pages.usherbrooke.ca/ergea/wp-content/plugins/bbpress

As you see, the forum is outside the root http://pages.usherbrooke.ca/ergea, it’s not integrated to the pages.

And I’ve just installed the new version on this website:

http://www.eefsherbrooke.com/forums/

The thing is, the forum is integrated to my pages.

I think it’s a great possibility, but I’d like my forum to be in a separate page as the one from my first site.

How could I do this?

Thank you very much!!!

[traveljunkie]

Haven’t found the time to look into it in depth yet, so in the meantime I sorted things with these two functions:

/**

* Search only our forums and fix topic tags

* @since 1.0

*/

function click_help_add_to_search( $query )

{

if( $query->is_search )

$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'topic', 'reply' ) );



if( ! empty( $query->query_vars['topic-tag'] ) )

$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'topic' ) );



return $query;

}

add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'click_help_add_to_search' );



/**

* Remove error404 class from the body

* @since 1.0

*/

function click_help_remove_error404( $classes )

{

if( in_array( 'bbPress', $classes ) )

{

$error = array_search( 'error404', $classes );

unset( $classes[$error] );

}



return $classes;

}

add_filter( 'body_class', 'click_help_remove_error404' );

@traveljunkie – Looking into it.

@_ck_ – Thanks. By virtue of WordPress.org Extend we already get a dedicated tag for support questions (which I’m keeping an eye on.) I fear having a specific forum here only calls attention to an issue that doesn’t exist yet. Half of the topics here aren’t in the correct forums anyways.
