How about this:

[chrishajer]

So, for example, you might have a different header on this forum page:

https://bbpress.org/forums/forum/installation

But you’d want to use that header on any of the topics when you click through to them, too?

Like on this page you would still use the installation header image?

Hi there everyone, right now we’re trying to restructure our wordpress blog and bbpress forums to allow blog entries to appear in the forums via Bbsync.

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/

Because of this need to have our blog entries appear in the forums, we’re restructuring our forums to tie into the blog entries.

Check it out here: http://www.feastoffools.net/community

Wondering if there is a way for parent forums to show all the entries in their subforums instead of showing entries specifically intended for the top parent category. Am I making sense?

Or is there a way to lock out people from making an entry on a top level forum (allow only subforum

Is there a way to have the top level forums count the entries in the subforums? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

For topic_page_links() on the forum home page, I went to: /bb-includes/functions.bb-template.php -> line 932 and changed ‘show_all’ => false to ‘show_all’ => true

This allows me to show the pages of a post without popular topics shifting the entire forum to the right.

You can see it in action here: http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/

Most themes disable this tag as it messes up themes with popular topics.

My question is, if I have to change the default setting on a bbpress core page, that would indicate to me that there is a variable I can put within the tag… between the ().

Does anybody here know what I can put there so that I don’t have to change the core pages? ie: topic_page_links(show_all->true) or something like that.

Thanks!

Post here if you are ditching phpbb for this.

I have only used soop and phpbb and now bbpress and I am loving this more and more every day.

I started playing with WordPress on December 25th. ApocalypticTomorrow was born on the next day. On that same day, I discovered bbPress and it was then integrated with WP. At the mement it has the included default “blue” theme and not many plugins but as the days go by, I will be modifying it and adding plugins as well as changing the look and feel.

Sounds like you need to get the forum ID from the topic or the post. How about this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/retrieving-forum-id-from-post-id#post-21521

[salemw]

Hello,

I recently transfered my forum from phpbb3 to bbpress and i really enjoy it

there is only one thing I cannot reproduce with bbpress. I used to have a different style for each category or forums and an image include on top of each. I can do it with forum_id but the variable do not follow in topics

ex:

if ($forum_id == 1) echo 'blabla';

How could I keep it in topics ?

Thank you

[suzkaw]

This theme has just been updated and you can get the latest version (v0.3) from here:

http://ericlbarnes.com/projects/inove-for-bbpress/

Changes Include:

1. Moved search to nav bar.

2. Added support for js sub navigation

3. Moved login to sidebar

4. Added bbpress logo to footer. Thanks to Paul.

I think that site naviation really depends on how much traffic your forum has, how much you want it to have, and in what route you want your traffic to reach its destination.

The typical forum layout comes from catering to new visitors that want descriptions of each category, and from repeat visitors wanting to check if there are updates to that category without having to click into that category.

Tags don’t offer either of these options inherently.

If tags could visually signify if there are new posts for the visitor inside of them, maybe with emphasis or italics or reordering them to the front of the cloud, that would be a neat idea.

bbPress tends to take a different approach on forum/topic importance, by emphasising on the most recently replied to topics right on the front page. I consider this more of a feature of a slow moving bulletin board more than for a large one. I know some large technical forums that would show 20 different posts on every page refresh with this type of last reply based concept.

Tags are interesting because they are user editable and provide a wiki-esque style of topic organization. 99% of users will obey this, but it still requires a bit of moderation and attention. Using categories that users cannot edit allows for you to legitimately categorize your data, rather than have it free flowing any and everywhere. Also, how do you compensate for the “New Topic” screen where there is a category drop-down? If your authors aren’t familiar with the concept and meaning of your forums categories, yet they are forced to choose one, this will result in topics being put into the database almost at random, making it difficult for you to moderate them.

I see how this idea can be appealing, and I see how it could work in some instances, but I think this type of idea is more suitable for a WordPress type blog/CMS than for a forum.

[chrishajer]

Ignoring the debate over whether it’s a feature or a bug, good or bad, you could just remove the capability from the member role. It’s coded in bb-includes/functions.bb-capabilities.php line 170, “edit_tags”. You could delete that line and members would not be able to edit tags any longer. I’m not sure if that means they can’t add tags to their own post or not though.

Also, instead of modifying a core file like that, you could probably use a plugin to remove that capability from the member role. Or you could create a whole new role that does not have that capability. I think there was a plugin related to custom roles:

@chrishajer – I am not using unfinished software – I’m preparing for the future.

@Ipstenu – Thanks!!! I can do this but average key master … I don’t know. I thing bbpress needs a setting for this.

Dunno what’s going on, but I’ve just installed bbpress at http://www.corvidaid.org/forum/ and for some reason extra characters are being added into the page just at the start. View the source code and you see “ousep” just being spat out at random. I have no idea where it’s coming from or what to do about it. Help!

Hi Istelie! Thanks for your answer

I came across before the post that is suggested in your thread;

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/permanently-deleting-topocs-and-posts

but it is not exactly what I want because I can edit myself the database using phpmyadmin, I don’t need any script.

What I want is to substitute topic_delete_link() function in my template for a new function that can permanently delete a post.

I can’t believe there isn’t any. Can’t you use bb_delete_posts() to do this?

[lstelie]

Hello,

It’s a classic

Have a look here : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/10-trunk-1806-how-to-delete-deleted-messages

BBPress has a very nice frontend, a fantastic engine, but no real admin (alpha level so work in progress..), hopefully, Santa got us PhPMyAdmin….

Hot Dang! I finally got my radio station web site up and running using bbPress! You can see it here: http://tannagh.com … as you can see, the front page isn’t your out of the box bbPress front page. It’s actually driven by a completely different database on a different server all together. It rocks! Getting that one page to work as it currently does was a big pain. I still have some work to do on the site, like getting the search and request functionality working, but just getting what I did was a big hurdle. I’ve now got a handle on how bbP works, the rest should be fairly smooth. *crosses fingers…. arms…. legs…. hairs… knocks on wood*

Go ahead, take a look, poke around a little. Just don’t sign up for the forums, as I’ll be clearing them out again after some testing. To get to the forums themselves, click the link in the left hand “TR Listener Forums”. The new front page was rendered using a plugin that I’m developing to integrate with the station’s database, creating a new file in the template to display the info, and creating a new root file “forums.php” which is an exact copy of the original index.php file. Index.php is then routed to the new front page file in the template.

Some stats:

I’m not sure if this is a rant, a request for help, or a general gripe.

I want to replace the default front page with something else. I’m building a website for an online radio station, and when visitors first hit the site, I want them to see current info, like what’s playing, what’s up next, and the last few that played. From there, there would also be a “Listener Forums” link that would take them to another page that would be the forums’ front page.

Trying to be smart about it, I took index.php from the root, copied it, and renamed it “forums.php”. Then I went into the template, copied front-page.php and renamed the copy “station.php”. So far, so good. Then things went wrong from there.

Back at the root, I opened the index.php and changed it to call station.php instead of front-page.php. I then went to my website, and made sure that index.php was still working, which it was. Again, so far, so good. At this point station.php and front-page.php are exactly the same, as are index.php and station.php, with the one exception. But I should still get the exact same thing from both index.php and forums.php (or so I thought). When I visited the forums.php of my site…. I noticed it was….. off… and not a little, the layout as a whole was jacked with very little in the wrong place.

Careful scrutiny of the source for both pages led me to find out that on the forums.php version, I was missing the ID off of my body tag. Eh? I finally found the location in the bbPress file that returns the body id…. and sure enough…. because my “file” doesn’t fit into the list… I’m not getting a body id…. well, this isn’t very flexible. My first thought was to create my own version and include it in my functions file…. but that’s hardly a solution.

So, am I stuck? Do I need to consider something else? How do I get around this? I’ve got other files I will be adding to my site like this… so this is just the first of several times this is going to happen to me. I’m just glad that I didn’t fully finish the plugin I was working on. I would hate to have wasted my time on something that I can’t use.

annoyed and frustrated,

I don’t have finished the template ( I only made the design in The GIMP ), so I don’t have it online now ( because I need more ideas, and this is one of those ) .

I want only know if users prefer to navigate with the classical categories or with the bbpress tags ( I think it offers a more attractive way, an infinite number of “categories”, and users are free to create their own ) .

[sbouazza]

Hello !

As I don’t like the classical forums layout, I want to make something newer and original ( almost all BBPress forums have the same layout, except some original ones like 9rules, Punaji etc… ), I’m almost done with the design .

And as I want it to look more “web 2.0”, I decided to hide the categories list and to force the user to use only the tags for navigation .

What do you think ?

PS : Sorry if this is the bad place for this thread !
