Good day,

I am working on a review site built using WordPress/bbPress and am in need of a ratings module. I’ve looked all over but as it turns out what I really want is something that bbpress uses when you go to a plugins page. An example of such a page is below (picked at random):

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/best-answer/

On the right sidebar there is brief information along with an average rating and the ability to allow the user to vote (and adjust it in the future). What’s more is that users are able to post their reviews within the same page which is perfect for what I need.

I’m using bbPress in conjuction with WordPress for my site, and since the logins database is used between them a plugin solution can be for either bbPress or WordPress.

Is such a plugin available, and if so where may I find it?

Thanks for your help.

Yah, you can see some of the emotional responses in past threads:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fix-or-remove-bozo-function-before-it-kills-bbpress

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/key-master-posts-not-showing-up

It happened to one of my top contributors, and she almost quit before I finally figured out what was going on! Thankfully it’s just a plugin, so you can turn it off. (It’s a little scary, but more and more stuff like this is ending up in core – so bugs like this will be a lot harder to resolve, imo!)

@_ck_: That would be awesome!

@johnhiler: Thanks for your insights. Before this thread I was not sure if I my theme’s moderation system was simply not working right…looks like it is! My only major beef with bbPress is moderation interface.

1) Don’t like that you can’t permanently delete a post. (Let’s say there is a duplicate…it is pointless for the duplicate to remain in the system, want it deleted completely so I don’t confuse myself when I see it on the “Recently Moderated Items” of the dashboard!)

2) Anyone else have problems where bbPress flags a new poster (maybe they use naughty stuff in their name or profile descriptions) and makes them a bozo but you unfortunately don’t notice that bbPress flagged them for a couple days? Wish there was a better notification system for this (no one wants to lose potential users who are frustrated by their material not showing up)

I think that error occurs if you have bb_ prefix tables already. Can you check the database to see if that’s the case? If there are bb_ tables already, maybe you tried once before to install bbPress?

[chrishajer]

Yes, forum will be more slow.

[chrishajer]

Looks like you have a bbpress folder inside the forum folder? I think I would just reinstall. Unzip the bbPress software then rename the folder ‘forum’ before you start the installation. That’s probably easier than trying to fix it if you don’t have any action there yet.

Polish forum about chronic gynecological issues. BBPress 1.01 + custom theme.

[johnhiler]

You can see topics you started on the bottom of your profile page?

https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/thion

Maybe that would be a place to start, in terms of figuring out how to make a custom query?

I put the bbpress forum at http://www.forum.thechristianchapel.com, then when it gave the url as http://www.forum.thechristianchapel.com/bbpress and gave me the option to change it, I did. I changed it to http://www.thechristianchapel.com/forum. I had it and then I messed it up, now when I type either of these in I get an index and not the bbpress forum. How can I fix this?

[Florian]

Oops, you’re right. Upon closer inspection it did not work without changes for me.

Instead of changing the bbPress side, I decided to make TinyMCE a bit more bbPress compliant. I wrote a little plugin which posts double line breaks instead of paragraphs. You can find it here:

[Florian]

I have written a simple plugin for TinyMCE to make it compatible with bbPress’ usage of double line breaks as paragraphs. The plugin replaces all paragraphs with said double linebreaks and br-Tags with single linebreaks upon posting. When editing an existing post, all linebreaks get transformed back into br-tags for TinyMCE. So you can use TinyMCE with bbPress without changing anything in bbPress.

You can download it here:

http://www.kreativrauschen.com/blog/2009/07/12/bbpress-compatibility-plugin-for-tinymce/

You also need to set remove_linebreaks to false, or all linebreaks will get removed by TinyMCE.

Currently, it still has one limitation (besides not being thoroughly tested): When you edit an existing post, double line breaks do not get converted back to paragraphs in TinyMCE. Instead they become two br-tags.

@Jason

The issue is that I don’t know where to add those. Read this post.

As soon as I add the include line like

locations /forums/

{

include ...

}

even my WP stops working.

[johnhiler]

There’s been some discussion on this front:

These links might be a good place to start:

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Are you on v1.0 now? If yes you are out of luck as most of the plugins won’t work with the newer version due to a lot of code which has been changed in bbPress.

P.S. – You can email me at ashishsainiashfame@gmail.com

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

You are calling an undefined function. A quick search reveals that the function is of bbPress Polls Plugin. Make sure the plugin is installed & activated.

[kishoremylavarapu]

hello friends..i need help from you people..

[QuickD]

I solved the sticky note situation. Sorry about the caps had some beer go into my keyboard.

Now another problem, how can I correct this error that has come up.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_polls_pre_poll() in /home/content/a/l/e/alexander9999/html/forums/bb-templates/blank2rbbpress/topic.php on line 2

I would like to make a donation to _ck_ plugins if I can have someone help me out with some of my forum issues

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I got it! No issues. Well, Can you recommend what approach should I have to grasp all the code of bbPress as there is no Codex at the moment. I remember you stating earlier that you learnt by studying others’ plugins. Any suggestions in this regard would be of great help. Thanks

[_ck_]

ashfame I appreciate your enthusiasm but I personally will have to comb through all the changes in 1.0 and look for new problems it’s causing my techniques- some things will not be immediately noticeable as a plugin will appear to run but then not in all cases or not update database info, etc. I’ll organize a way for people to report specific problems as it gets closer towards December.

As I have repeatedly mentioned it’s also a matter of waiting for 1.0 to settle.

I see many little problems with it that will have to be fixed – there will likely be at least a couple more releases by December and probably many more little tweaks put in the trunk for 1.5 that might affect my plugins again.

Your energy is better spent debugging bbPress 1.0, or writing/porting other plugins for bbPress as there’s always something else needed.

[Jason Giedymin]

These rewrites posted are correct. This is pretty much what we have.

Our environment is very different and we have a few in-house modules to handle ‘missing files’ in place of the ‘!-e’.

As far as the rewrites go they’re good, and obviously you must enable pretty perms for bbpress.

If your having problems ashfame, just cut/past the rewrites outside the file check conditional (if).

[dpmcalister]

My first attempt with bbPress and it’s pretty basic at the moment:

As I get my head around templating and the like, I’m sure I’ll make future changes

[azcs]

Hello,i have a site called azcs.co.uk, im using wordpress and bbpress and im trying to make the forum like my word press with no joy yet, i also whant to know how can i the Latest Discussions show only latest 5 posts only and on the forums i have forums saying modding, software and gaming i want to make these in bold and the background a different colour so that they stand out i also would like to know how to put a background image on the bbpress.

i hope this is not too much to ask

the forum can be found at forum.azcs.co.uk

[maramac]

I hope this is the right place to ask but I don’t know where else to go about it.

I’ve recently added bbpress to my site, and I’ve been trying to carry over the theme I use for WordPress. I’m not all that great with CSS, and there’s some weird problem with the positioning of the forum. I’m not quite sure I got all the div tags, as I’m still not 100% sure of the internal structure.

Here’s the forum link: http://www.nyahalcyon.net/forum

And here’s the website, as a reference: http://www.nyahalcyon.net

As you can see: the whole of the forum should be in the center, aligned with the background, and right now it’s very much on the left side no matter what I try. I’m obviously missing something somewhere, or I didn’t get the CSS right…

I’d really appreciate any hints or advice about this.

(I’m going to have to sort out the other pages, like the topic, forums, etc…. but for now I’d just like to get the front page working 100%.)
