Just for reference, the site linked to in this discussion seems to have figured out how to get the reply form to appear directly under the intended reply.

Hi,

Does anyone know how to use bbPress conditionals when bbPress is used for group forums? None of the bbp_is_ functions is working outside of the bbPress templates, and the point of the conditional functions is to have them work outside of the bbPress own template so that some other piece of code knows what is the page context. I am trying to use these functions inside the page BODY.

So, how to determine which forum is loaded as group forum, which topic is currently displayed, and anything else related to subpages for edit of topics and replies?

The reply form showing directly beneath the reply should be fixed as of:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2971

Edit – Haven’t tested with TinyMCE though.

I want to add a “Create Topic” link on my bbPress ABOVE all the existing topics on the forum home, and in each category. How can I do this? Thanks!

[Robkk]

One other little thing though. I notice that the reply form appears below all sub-replies of a reply, instead of directly beneath the intended reply.

I think the reply.js code and possible other areas for threaded replies code can be improved to fix this. No idea how right now.

When the reply form is at its default location in a bbpress topic, the Visual tab works fine. But when the reply form pops up after clicking “reply” on a comment, the Visual tab fails to work (can’t type in it or see the contents).

I think this is another known issue. One of these tickets need to possible be reopened and include a patch for this issue.

Look at some of the unread posts plugins for bbPress. It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but very similar. Most unread posts plugins just use the regular topic list view in a forum, instead of a separate area.

bbPress mark as read adds an area in the subscriptions seciton of a user profile. And bbPress pencil unread supplies a function on its plugin page.

[zoldos]

Loving bbPress, but I can’t seem to find a simple way to add a button/link that will display new posts/topics since a member’s last visit.

This is a common feature on almost any forum.

Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

[Jon Fergus]

Damn, another issue has come up. On my main site I’ve added the “Visual” tab to the reply form, using the following code in my functions.php file:

/* add visual editor to bbpress replies */ 
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    $args['teeny'] = false;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

When the reply form is at its default location in a bbpress topic, the Visual tab works fine. But when the reply form pops up after clicking “reply” on a comment, the Visual tab fails to work (can’t type in it or see the contents). I reproduced the issue on my staging site for you to see:

http://staging-nexus.universaltheosophy.com/groups/test-group/forum/topic/test-group-topic/

I’m also using the “TinyMCE Advanced” plugin, but can verify that the issue with the Visual tab is independent of that plugin.

Hi,

GD bbPress Toolbox Pro seems to propose what I want … In their “Integration tweaks” there is a “Logged in user reply in topic” option …
https://bbpress.dev4press.com/features/integration-tweaks/
Wish I could see the code only for this option 🙂

I’ll continue working on it !

Thanks.

[Robkk]

I think this feature is in the premium plugin GD bbPress Toolbox. It shows some icon before the topic title that you participated in.

Unread post plugins could also be a good alternative too.

[Robkk]

I think group moderators are not the same as bbPress forum moderators that you can choose to get notifications in the bbPress notify plugin.

[Robkk]

Here I just added a bbpress-functions.php file to a twentysixteen child theme. I edited out the conditional causing the issues with groups. You can test this on my test site as well.

You would have to remove the file later if the trac tickets patch I linked to is committed and you are using version 2.6 of bbPress, so that you can have the file enqueued on the pages where it is needed.

I think this will do it for you.

After you are done testing I will start nuking my test site.

[Robkk]

Alright I was asking if there could be sending bbPress subscriptions issues and hopefully I could help with that, but only if you already set up sending mail on localhost.

There isn’t much I can help on sending emails through WAMP as the last time I tried a few years back it was a pain to do so and fix some issues I was facing. See if this can help you though.

Ok. I found the problem: Buddypress.

The functionality of reply.js works for bbpress, but does not work if the topic is in a forum that is within a Buddypress group.

Just tested on your site, as well as my test site. And yes that BuddyPress is related to this issue.

May not specifically be BuddyPress and their code. I think there are tickets with bbPress’ BuddyPress extend code that might have issues with some conditionals in a bbPress post that is in a group.

Will look through bbPress trac for some possibly related tickets.

Edit: Found the ticket.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2974

It is pretty easy to workaround this issue as well, since all you have to do is enqueue the javascript with a different conditional or enqueue it sitewide, but doing it sitewide might cause another issue somewhere.

Will do some testing and get back.

Hello,

I just started using bbpress and I’m really confused. On the /forums page, I want the topics under the forum to be displayed right below the forum title. Can anyone please help me with this?? I want something similar to the image inserted. Thanks!

Buddypress support forum post I started for this topic: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-blocking-bbpress-reply-js-functionality-dynamic-reply-form/

*edit: somehow deleted my previous comment*

Ok. I found the problem: Buddypress.

The functionality of reply.js works for bbpress, but does not work if the topic is in a forum that is within a Buddypress group.

On my staging site I now have two topics: one within a buddypress group forum and one in a regular bbpress forum. The reply.js functionality works in the topic within the regular forum, but does not work in the topic that’s in the Buddypress group forum.

If you’d like to see the functionality, here are the two topics (sign in credentials are in my previous comment above):

http://staging-nexus.universaltheosophy.com/forums/topic/test-topic/

http://staging-nexus.universaltheosophy.com/groups/test-group/forum/topic/test-group-topic/

Now………. to find a solution. Any ideas would be much appreciated. I’ve also brought this to the Buddypress support forum. Will link to that below.

Hi guys.

I created my first bbPress forum, which is this -> http://bit.ly/1p1fpjH

I then I cloned that forum to another URL -> http://bit.ly/2evx82i

All right, because I modified the URL WordPress. But when I press to enter any part of the forum, it redirects me to the first forum.

What is the problem? Do I have to change the URL bbPress? Any ideas?

Thank you very much!

[benzouye]

Thanks for the answer.

I think, as a regular user of bbPress forums, that it could be a nice feature to developp … I’ll work on this …

Hi Pascal,
Thanks for your reply.

I installed BuddyPress to reduce plugin use for my need but actually I use just the sitewide BBPress forum. Actually I’m trying to get the whole picture.
FWIW Buddypress doesn’t add new user roles but, for forum, it uses BBPress forum. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

As admin I need to approve user once registered. How I can avoid to assign worpress role “subscriber” and maybe assign BBPress role “blocked” until an admin take action validating the user?

I’m just trying to obtain a classic feature of all forums out there. I tried on Buddypress and WordPress but everybody says that it’s aquestion related to other product. I’m deadlock 🙂

PS
Imagine for a moment that I have only WP + BBPress forum. How I get this behaviour?
Until an admim approve it, a new user cannot browse the site and forum.

Thank you

Hi,
This seems a BuddyPress question. This forum is for bbPress, so you might try to post it on https://buddypress.org/support .
If you think your issue is related to the Notify plugin, then I suggest opening a thread on the support forum of that plugin.
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
Can you try the steps I just posted in https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installed-bbpress-cant-find-forum-on-wordpress-site/ ?
Pascal.

Hi Robin,

I re-enabled bbpress and the style pack and it seems stable now.

Your 2 code snippets are saved but not taking effect:

.entry-content fieldset legend {
color: #fff !important;
}

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-content, #bbpress-forums p.bbp-reply-content {
color: #1e73be !important;
}

A snipet i made myself to style the background of the reply form is taking effect so this customer code area for css in the beaver theme seems to work for bbpress:

.bbp-form{
background-color:rgba(250, 236, 113, 0.90);
}

Here is a screenshot of what i still need to style. If you could take a look when you get the chance that would be great. http://imgur.com/a/tKRoc

Many thanks

Hi,
You seem to be mixing ‘buddypress’ and ‘bbpress’. This forum is for bbPress questions.
I have the feeling your question is more related to BuddyPress, so maybe try on https://buddypress.org/support ?
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

If you have already deac­ti­ved all plugins except bbPress and swit­ched to a default theme and you still do not see ‘Forums’, ‘Topics’ and/or ‘Replies’, then please try this in Settings > Forums (check after every step if you find the options back on your dash­board):
– ‘Set­tings > Forums’ : (de)acti­vate ‘Ano­ny­mous post­ing’, save, (de)acti­vate it again to get back to your origi­nal setting, save
– ‘Set­tings > Forums’ : (de)acti­vate ‘Auto role’, save, (de)acti­vate it again to get back to your origi­nal setting, save
– Deac­ti­vate the bbPress plugin, then reac­tive the bbPress plugin
– ‘Tools > Forums > Repair Forums’ : Remap exis­ting users to default forum roles, click ‘Repair Items’ (WARNING: Make sure to have multiple admins in case the keymas­ter role would disap­pear from one account)

Pascal.
