Hello all

I need to have a feature in the forum
Basically I have some data stored in a db (i.e. United States / Nation of bla bla bla) and I need that in the forum the users can write :United States: (or <United States> or whatever is the command) so for those one that read the United States words are highlighted and with passing on the mouse or clicking the words a small window appears with
United States
Nation of bla bla bla

Is that possible using bbpress?
If yes a plugin is needed? What plugin?

Thank you all

Few days ago I have released new plugin for bbPress to add advanced search form to replace bbPress default search page. More information about the plugin is available here:

GD Power Search Pro for bbPress

StreetLib Connect https://connect.streetlib.com is a bbpress-buddypress-powered forum and community about books by StreetLib, a full-featured service platform for authors and publishers.

The login system and the profiles are integrated with our own applications via CAS technology.

The forum is quite large, we have been able to semi-manually import an old SMF-powered forum with more than 150,000 messages. The difficult part was moving the automatically imported forum from a localhost bbpress to production.

We are using the 1925.4 patch to improve performance (queries, repair tools, etc. it would be unusable without it maybe).

So we are using the latest stable version 2.5 (patched) and the great OneSocial theme by BuddyBoss. Plus a lot of our own modifications.

Feel free to showcase our forum if you want, we would be glad!

… maybe a fix for this

bbp_reply_url not working for large topics

or this

Links to last post are wrong (pagination issue?)

would also work when the replies are sorted descending?

[wpGonzales]

Hi all,

Is there a way to sort replies descending from newest to oldest that works with pagination enabled?

I have found this abandoned plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-sort-topic-replies/
which allows me to change the sort order, but it breaks when also using pagination (see https://wordpress.org/support/topic/descending-order-conflicts-with-pagination/ )

Is there a changelog for the upcoming version 2.6 of bbpress? maybe there have been some changes in that area?

Thank you all for your work on making bbPress better!

Edit: My installation is WP 4.9.8 with bbpress 2.5.14 and “bbPress – Sort topic replies 1.0.3”

[wpGonzales]

Hi, I found the plugin “bbpress Sort Topic Replies” https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-sort-topic-replies/ can do that, but only for the first reply of a thread. Also, the plugin has not been updated for a long time, it seems to be abandoned.

[piccart]

ok thanks, I’ve created a ticket to report the bug:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3219

[Robin W]

I would first of all try the more up to date version of this

bbPress – Moderation Tools

and then reach out to the support forum of that pluigin

Hiya. I’m wondering where in the code the choice of template to use is made, when a forum is created.

I want bbPress to choose to use the Topic Discussion page template for its Forum page — the page that is created with the discussion itself for a topic — when it creates a new Forum….how do I get it to use that template instead?

I do not need a page that lists all topics for a forum; this is being built to be a one-topic forum; having a list of topics when there will only ever be one topic is just more clicking for my users to have to do, to get to the actual discussion.

I only want the discussion of the topic itself to populate, not a list of topics which is what the forum template does now.

Thoughts?

I need help with this plugin bbPress Moderation By Ian Stanley https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpressmoderation/
i use this to hold topics for moderation from my participants before publishing them, because not all topic i will want to publish. but the thing with this plugin is that it hold but topics and reply for moderation and has no option to separate them.
Is there any way like code that i can use to prevent topics from being moderated, only post should be held for moderation and the reply should not be held.

[Robin W]

add this to your functions file

function rew_min_length ($reply_content) {
	if (strlen($reply_content)<61) {
		bbp_add_error( 'bbp_reply_content', __( '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Your reply must be at least 60 characters.', 'bbpress' ) );
	}
return $reply_content ;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_new_reply_pre_content', 'rew_min_length' );

[Robin W]

sorry, that’s how it works in bbpress.

But if you do get to someone who has coded, please post the result back here to help others.

my style pack plugin has a button you can add to the pages to make it clearer

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Buttons

Hi Stephan (@netweb),

That’s a great insight! Like @atmojones I’m confronted with the fact that the users of my bbpress forum make up so many tags that tagging is not helpful anymore.

My question to you: is there a way to enable the autocomplete in the frontend as well? That would solve the problem.

Thanks!

[flazaldo]

How do I removed ‘bbPress Forums’shown under the Forum menu title?

You can see the problem here:

Many thanks, Mark

Thanks Robin – I lose some customizations when switching themes so I’m just going to turn off the author option for now. I’m looking into canonical issues either from WP permalinks or Yoast, or something in bbPress 🙂 If I find a solution, I’ll report back!

I assume this is pretty standard, but on our forum site (http://nexus.universaltheosophy.com/), the bbpress “reply box” is located at the bottom of any given Topic post. So, when someone wants to reply, they need to scroll all the way down. Also, directly beneath each existing reply is a “reply button”. If someone wants to reply to an existing reply, they click this button…. but what happens is that the Topic post reloads in their browser and then they’re taken to the bottom of the Topic where the reply-box resides.

What we want, is this: when someone clicks reply, a reply-box appears directly beneath the existing reply they’re replying to (basically, how reddit works). I’ve seen at least one site that has managed to do this with some kind of customizing of bbpress, but nobody seems to want to share.

In order to see how the reply button on our site currently works, you can use our dummy-test-account to login (just please be respectful and don’t make me delete too much spam) UN: [redacted] PW: [redacted] And use this discussion to see how the reply function currently operates: http://nexus.universaltheosophy.com/groups/key-concepts-study-group/forum/topic/reincarnation/

Any help at all would be hugely appreciated. The current functionality really makes for a poor forum experience for our members.

Also, we’re currently running bbpress 2.5.10 and WordPress 4.6.1.

I have 2600 users subscribers in the first forum of my forum: https://www.onlymaths.gr/forums/forum/%CE%B1%CE%BD%CE%B1%CE%BA%CE%BF%CE%B9%CE%BD%CF%8E%CF%83%CE%B5%CE%B9%CF%82-forum/

When someone post a topic in this category, no one subscriber get a notification email of creating this topic.

In the last forum of my foroum: https://www.onlymaths.gr/forums/forum/%cf%85%cf%80%ce%bf%cf%83%cf%84%ce%ae%cf%81%ce%b9%ce%be%ce%b7/
I have only 3 subscribers.
The 3 subscribers get the notification email of creating a this topic!

The current version of bbpress is: bbPress 2.5.14
The current version of WordPress is: WordPress 4.9.8

[Robin W]

by clicking the ‘create new topic’ in the bar below the bbpress logo

[Robin W]

ok, so not my plugin, but I cannot replicate the error

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Then come back

P.S.: I’m using bbPress with BuddyPress. 🙂

[Milan Petrovic]

I can see all the topics and read them. But, I can’t post because you havr disabled anonymous posting in bbPress settings.

[Commandrea]

On my profile page, under the forums/subscriptions tabs, the author link under ‘last activity’ doesn’t just link to their profile. Instead it adds /forums/subscriptions/ to their profile url/bbp-author-name which takes me to a ‘page not found’ because subscriptions are not visible to other users.

Is this an error and if so, how do I strip or change the /forums/subscriptions/ portion of the url to /profile/ or remove it all together? Can someone confirm what this link looks like on their web forums?

The screenshot is from my profile page while viewing the forum/subscriptions section. The url reflects that as https://sucsforyou.com/members/newbeta/forums/subscriptions/

In the screenshot you’ll see the url in the bottom left corner has added that to the link, while the alt says ‘view profile.’

Thank you! I’m using bbPress with BuddyPress and WordPress- all latest editions.

[Commandrea]

While logged in and viewing the forum tab under other members’ profiles, I can see their Topics Started, Replies, and Favorites- no subscription tab is visible unless I’m on my own profile page.

The problem is when I’m looking at my subscriptions or topics, the author link under ‘last activity’ doesn’t just link to their profile. Instead it adds /forums/subscriptions/ to their profile url which takes me to a ‘page not found’ because their subscriptions are not visible to other users (I’m assuming).

Is this an error and if so, how do I strip or change the /forums/subscriptions/ portion of the url to /profile/ or remove it all together? Can someone confirm what this link looks like on their web forums? Thank you!

Thanks for getting back to me.

Break down the code in question into three.

(1)
I found the following code in this directory,
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-replies.php

<ul id="topic-<?php bbp_topic_id(); ?>-replies" class="forums bbp-replies">

	<li class="bbp-header">
		<!--　various　-->
	</li>

	<li class="bbp-body">
		<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-reply' ); ?>
	</li>
		
	<li class="bbp-footer">
		<!--　various　-->
	</li>

</ul>

(2)
And the template called in the above code is below.
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

	
		<div id="post-<?php bbp_reply_id(); ?>" class="bbp-reply-header">
			<div class="bbp-meta">
				<!--　various　-->
			</div>
		</div>
		<div <?php bbp_reply_class(); ?>>
			<!--　various　-->
		</div>
		
		<div id="post-<?php bbp_reply_id(); ?>" class="bbp-reply-header">
			<div class="bbp-meta">
				<!--　various　-->
			</div>
		</div>
		<div <?php bbp_reply_class(); ?>>
			<!--　various　-->
		</div>	

(3)
But I could not find the code for the part of the list below.

	<li class="★">

	</li>

	<li class="★">

	</li>

In the output HTML, this list is included, but the PHP template does not show the part of the list.

Where is the list, how can I rewrite it?

Thanks.
