I want to limit the number of conversations/discussions that show on the front page under Latest Discussions > Topic. I found a plugin that might have helped but I can’t log into the admin panel (/forum/bb-admin redirects me to /forum).

The plugin is http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/front-page-topics/

But is there a way to manually edit a bbPress file to change this setting? Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

[psycheangels]

thanks, but meta description not working because it will insert embed code and image code to header if the first line of the post have markup code. thats a bad thing ryt?

“Thanks for stopping by Andy. “

second that

I just realized that i miss a “quote” button in bbPress

But what i came here to say is that i miss the possibility to show/hide subforums and make then show up as links beneath the description for their parent.

I must say that im really a fan of this forum software and that it got plenty which i have missed from other forums.

Hope to see more ongoing core development for bbPress in the future. Is this a goal for you?

Hi,

I’m building the community on a portal around bbPress, but how can I check if a user is logged in to bbPress and how to get the basic informations about the user?

I’ve managed to do this with an earlier version of bbPress, but after upgrading to bbPress 1.0.2 I can’t get the result I’m looking for. I’ve tried to require bb-load.php, but it gives me the following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function suppress_errors() on a non-object in /PATH-TO-BBPRESS/bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php on line 63

Has anyone successfully integrated bbPress with their website (non-WP)?

You can always create a new username… and then change the old posts to use your new username using this plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/edit-post-attributes/

If there are a lot of posts using your username, you’ll have to use a query to change them all at once!

How many Keymasters can be had in bbPress? Is the admin’s user name always displayed under profile?

Thanks.

[InvTrdr]

Is it possible to change the user name that was chosen the very first time while installing bbPress?

Thank you.

[InvTrdr]

Is it possible to block the profile of an admin or a user in bbPress?

Thank you.

I currently am running bbpress 1.0.2. I am trying to insert a google adsense code on my right column/sidebar. My right column/sidebar is currently blank. However, no matter where I put the code, it always displays on my main/left column.

I read somewhere about putting an “includes” function to fetch the sidebar for wordpress. I’m not sure if it will work here?

Does anybody have any ideas they can share?

Thank you!

That is how Akismet works in bbPress – can you post a screenshot of your admin? The Posts tab, then there is a drop down with the following choices: All, Normal, Deleted, Spam (if you’re using the Akismet plugin.) Is that not your experience?

[chrishajer]

That’s browser functionality for textareas, in Chrome and Safari, not something bbPress can fix. Unless I’m completely missing the point.

I can’t think of any reason not to just repeat the same process for all 24.

[chandersbs]

Holy F, i just tried it on my forum, and it’s working, WOW

[chandersbs]

I didn’t know this was even possible. I don’t think its working in Chrome though, is it?

[Pomy]

Dear BBCoders…

I think it is small mistake but it is mistake. Your post editor lose it’s shape when we expand it with mouse click from bottom right corner. you should try to solve this small mistake and you should try to fix it’s width and height?

Hope all moderators will smile and take notice

here are it’s screen shots

Also you should try to solve this mistake in your post plugin

Is there a bbpress plugin that when someone leaves a comment, the original commenter gets get an emailed notification that someone has left a comment reply? For example, if you reply to this post, I would like to get an email that you have replied. The issue comes out is I forget to check to see if there is any updates. I hate having to check daily to see if there are any new replies.

I created the “my-templates” directory and I unzipped my theme into a folder in that directory. But when I go to my bbPress dashboard, the screenshot for my new theme shows a blank space with a red X in the upper left corner. When I click to “Activate” the theme it shows a featureless version of bbPress with no theme at all.

What am I doing wrong?

[merlin214365]

So after trying many plug-ins for meta data i found out that most don’t work at all with the newest version of bbpress and others do a poor job so i decided to write my own little php code no plug-in needed.

I wrote some php code to include a meta description based on the first 200 characters of the post and a default description if there is no post ( i.e the front-page ). Also meta keyword’s that displays any tags associated with that post as keywords.

So just add this to your header

<?php<br />
if ($posts) {<br />
foreach ($posts as $bb_post) : $del_class = post_del_class();<br />
$old=ob_get_contents(); ob_clean(); ob_start(); // you may leave ob_start();<br />
post_text();<br />
$out.=ob_get_contents(); ob_clean();<br />
endforeach;<br />
$out = preg_replace('#<p[^>]*>(s| ?)*</p>#', '', $out); // takes out <p><br />
$out = substr($out,0,200); // only displays the first 200 lines of the first post.<br />
echo '<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="';<br />
echo $out;<br />
echo '">';<br />
}<br />
else {<br />
echo '<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="This is your defalt description edit this to what ever you want ">'; // This displays when where is no post<br />
}<br />
global $tags;<br />
if (!empty($tags)) {<br />
$keywords=""; foreach ($tags as $t) {$keywords.=$t->raw_tag.', ';}<br />
echo "n".'<meta NAME="keywords" CONTENT="'.trim($keywords,", ").'">'."n"; // This displays any tags associated with that post as a keyword<br />
} ?>

Or you can just call get_user_profile_link(); function to get the simple link.

If the user is logged in, it will automatically get the user id.

Function can be found here –

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php#L2195

[Gautam]

Use this:

bb_get_profile_link(‘id=’.strval(bb_get_current_user_info( ‘id’ )).’&text=YOUR_TEXT_HERE&before=BEFORE_THE_LINK&after=AFTER_THE_LINK’);

You can view the function here:

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php#L2768

Jleuze,

It’s great news for me what you explain here.

Now my idea is just to stop at the first step. I’ll try migrating to vBulletin and stay there. I think it will be the best…

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hi,

I’m setting up a bbpress instance and noticed that the log files have to exist otherwise no logging takes place. This makes my beloved log file rotating impossible.

But if i edit class.bp-log.php and insert the following after lines in set_filename at about line 143

if (! file_exists($_filename)) {

@touch ($_filename);

}

This allowes me to do nice things like configure log files to

define( 'BB_LOG_FILENAME', $global_log_dir . 'bbpress-' . date("Y-m-d") . ".log");
