Hello all,

I am using BuddyPress with bbPress and I am noticing an issue when I have a forum topic with multiple pages. When I add a new reply it creates a BuddyPress activity that stores in the DB a primary_link of the type /forums/topic/topic-name/page/XX/#post-YYYY. For example /forums/topic/test-notification-for-reply/page/2/#post-3063

The problem is that if I delete some previous replies from page 1 and this reply moves to the first page from the second page it was previously, its activity permalink (primary_link) remains the same and the activity still points to page 2 of the topic (not page 1 that is its new page).

Is there any fix for this?

Hello,

I understand that since bbPress 2.5.4, it only sends a single email with all the recipients. We have about 1,000 subscribers. Our hosting level allows 800 emails per hour quota. When we post a forum topic to all subscribers, many of them don’t receive it. I’ve filed two help requests to the host and they indicate that we are exceeding the allowed quota. I don’t understand how the forum emails are exceeding the limit. Any assistance or advice that we might receive would be very greatly appreciated!

OK, I think I have solved this by following this thread, except I had to do one thing the other way around…

1. Scrap User Role Editor and install the Members plugin by Justin Tadlock
2. Don’t put anything in your functions file
3. In WordPress under Users/Roles, clone the Participant user role and give it a name and slug (in my case I am using ‘bosun’) and save the new role.
4. Add this code to your functions file:

function vip_add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {

$bbp_roles['bosun'] = array(
'name' => 'Bosun',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);

return $bbp_roles;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'vip_add_custom_role', 1 );

… where bbp_roles and name is changed to your own name of the user role. This must be the same as the name/slug you inserted when cloning the participant user role.

5. Now any forum user assigned this user role will display the correct role, rather that ‘participant’ ‘subscriber’ or ‘spectator’.

The thing I had to do the other way around from the instructions in the other thread was to not put anything in the functions file and install the plugin first.

Phew. Took me two days to get there!

Hi,

I attempted to create some new bbp roles using the code in the codex to copy the ‘participant’ role. Unfortunately this did not work for me despite deactivating all plugins (seems quite a few other people had the same issue).

Instead I am using User Role Editor to create a new forum role, which I have called ‘bosun’. Upon sign-up a new user is correctly assigned this role and has the capabilities of a participant, which is great, but their forum role is still displaying as ‘spectator’.

I would like to display the user’s role under the avatar.

One thing I can do is display:none the div class bbp-author-role and then add in a new div to display the user_role, which I think is what URE plugin generates.

I appreciate that some of this has to do with the URE plugin and that it is not supported here. What I am trying to understand is what I need to change in order to hide the bbp-author-role div and add in a new div calling the URE role. I can only find references to bbp-author-role in templates.php which is a function:

function bbp_topic_author_role( $args = array() ) {
	echo bbp_get_topic_author_role( $args );
}
	/**
	 * Return the topic author role
	 *
	 * @since bbPress (r3860)
	 *
	 * @param array $args Optional.
	 * @uses bbp_get_topic_id() To get the topic id
	 * @uses bbp_get_user_display_role() To get the user display role
	 * @uses bbp_get_topic_author_id() To get the topic author id
	 * @uses apply_filters() Calls bbp_get_topic_author_role with the author
	 *                        role & args
	 * @return string topic author role
	 */
	function bbp_get_topic_author_role( $args = array() ) {

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'topic_id' => 0,
			'class'    => 'bbp-author-role',
			'before'   => '',
			'after'    => ''
		), 'get_topic_author_role' );

		$topic_id    = bbp_get_topic_id( $r['topic_id'] );
		$role        = bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ) );
		$author_role = sprintf( '%1$s<div class="%2$s">%3$s</div>%4$s', $r['before'], $r['class'], $role, $r['after'] );

		return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_topic_author_role', $author_role, $r );
	}

Is the “UNREAD FORUM TOPICS” not part of bbPress’s default functionality?

correct

[PDidee]

Issue seems to be the Mark as Read plugin. In fact that section doesn’t even show up under subscriptions until that plugin is activated?! Is the “UNREAD FORUM TOPICS” not part of bbPress’s default functionality?

[Robin W]

as a test can you try with just bbpress and private groups, as if that is ok, add the others back until you find which one is allowing this

[PDidee]

Not using Buddy Press.

Here is a list of the bbPress related plugins that are installed currently:
– AccessAlly – bbPress Add-on
– bbP private groups
– bbPress – Mark as Read
– bbPress – Moderation Tools
– bbPress Notifications
– bbPress Notify (No-Spam)
– bbPress Profile Link Shortcode
– bbPress Search Widget
– bbPress Toolkit
– bbPress Unread Posts

[Robin W]

are you also using buddypress?
and what other bbpress related plugins are you using ?

[PDidee]

We have a site using bbPress and the Private groups plugin. Users are assigned to specific forums by groups but for some reason under their profile page under the “Subscriptions” tab they are able to see topics under “Unread Forum Topics” to forums they should not have access to. They can also click on these topics and access that topic.

Is there away to restrict the topics they see to ONLY the ones they have permission to view according to their private group settings?

[Eddie Nguyen]

I am close to setting up my ecommerce website forum but I want to have all my categories in one forum.

Is this possible with bbpress?

[demonboy]

Thanks, Robin, and thank you for your (free) support on the bbpress forums. Appreciated.

[Big Dog]

I’m not to sure on how to create sub forums under forums.
Example: Forum – Operating Systems. Sub Forums – Windows, Linux, Apple, Android
Under these you would have your Topics which would contain the threads of that particular topic.
Can this be accomplished in BBPress or Would you need to create multiple forums to cover the same interest?

If we are limited to Forum – Topic and Thread, can the member/user not show up as the creator of topic.
Just saying if you could sub divide forums to include multiple sub forums each containing their own topics and threads.

Thanks

[Robin W]

If you just want to remove it from the list then you could amend loop-single-forum.php

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

change it to (assuming 40250 is the fiorum id)

<?php

/**
 * Forums Loop - Single Forum
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * @subpackage Theme
 */

if ( !bbp_get_forum_id() == '40250')) {
?>

<ul id="bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>" <?php bbp_forum_class(); ?>>

	<li class="bbp-forum-info">

		<?php if ( bbp_is_user_home() && bbp_is_subscriptions() ) : ?>

			<span class="bbp-row-actions">

				<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_subscription_action' ); ?>

				<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link( array( 'before' => '', 'subscribe' => '+', 'unsubscribe' => '&times;' ) ); ?>

				<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_subscription_action' ); ?>

			</span>

		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_title' ); ?>

		<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_title' ); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_description' ); ?>

		<div class="bbp-forum-content"><?php bbp_forum_content(); ?></div>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_description' ); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_sub_forums' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_list_forums(); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_sub_forums' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_forum_row_actions(); ?>

	</li>

	<li class="bbp-forum-topic-count"><?php bbp_forum_topic_count(); ?></li>

	<li class="bbp-forum-reply-count"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_forum_reply_count() : bbp_forum_post_count(); ?></li>

	<li class="bbp-forum-freshness">

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_freshness_link' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_forum_freshness_link(); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_freshness_link' ); ?>

		<p class="bbp-topic-meta">

			<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_author' ); ?>

			<span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>

			<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_topic_author' ); ?>

		</p>
	</li>

</ul><!-- #bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?> -->

<?php } ?>

Not tested but should work, if not then might be another bbpress plugin overwriting the template – come back

I downloaded and installed bbPress-Sort topic replies, it changes the sort. Page-by navigation did not appear, in topics all messages are displayed at once.

[Robin W]

I would suggest you reverse the order for answers, as pagination will not solve it.

This may work

bbPress – Sort topic replies

[dirtydy2]

No. Every attempt I made to migrate to 4.0 and then to bbpress failed as well. I just kept my 5.0 and will never use them again on any site. All my other sites I use wpForo on. It is virtually the same and much better than bbpress, which is a solid forum option in itself.

[Robin W]

enable bbpress

then

dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums

Then decativate and delete bbpress and any dependent plugind

[wordik]

There is a bbpress forum. Through the admin panel, I adjust the number of topics and responses to the page on the forum.

Now the admin panel is set to display 5 topics and 5 answers on the page. the number of those regulated, the NUMBER of REPLIES TO the TOPIC NOT REGULATED. IN TOPIC ARE DISPLAYED IMMEDIATELY ALL ANSWERS AND PAGE IS OBTAINED MUCH.

As a result, to reach the last answer you have to scroll through the page with the answers at the bottom.

Can who rebuffed with this problem?

[BigBillT57]

I wish to remove the forum portion of my website. I created the forum using BBPress. How do I remove the forum without creating a mess? I do not want to remove my blog posts or any other content. The blog post show up as forum content as well as blog posts.

I manually removed the forum page, the links to the forum in the headers, and links to the forum in the menus. But then my website would not display. I did not disable or remove the bbPress plugin. I received an error message from GoDaddy that my site had technical difficulties and was not available. I restored my website from a GoDaddy backup and all was well, but I still had the forum.

Thank you.

Has anybody successfully imported a Vbulletin 5.5 board to bbPress?

[demonboy]

Hi,

I have a gallery I would like to add either within the forum description or within a topic but bbpress is not parsing the shortcode. It is not a bbpress shortcode, it comes from a gallery plugin.

How do I enable parsing of other shortcodes within bbpress?

Thanks!

[scmsteve]

Hi @sudar! Thanks for your great work in this regard, and I know this is *really* old now, but I am working on a site that has your bbpress-subscription-in-mandrill plugin installed and am trying to see if it is still necessary, hopefully without breaking anything.

The site is sending things through Mandrill, using the Post SMTP Mailer/Email Log plugin. They are also running a beta of bbPress v2.6. I don’t know if it resolved any of these issues or not.

I am just trying to understand your post above, that you switched to the asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions plugin. Does that mean you are no longer using the one you wrote, and the above one solves all the issues? Any particular notes to be aware of in configuring that plugin vai filters/etc to accomplish the same thing yours has done?

[StormD]

Hi. Can anyone please help me with the code to do this:

change this
[bbp-single-reply id=$reply_id]

to this
[bbp-single-reply id=$topic_id]

or anything that will basically do the same thing. Perhaps just the code to direct a reply form to a topic?

thanks in advance

[Robin W]

This plugin seems to do that and claims bbpress support

I have not tried it, so please come back and let us know if it works
