how to display recent replies on my forum

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,

If you want custom smilies or stickers, then check for plugins like ‘wp-Monalisa’ or ‘Font Emoticons’, however bbPress can use WordPress’s supplied smilies, see https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Smilies and https://codex.wordpress.org/Emoji

How can I use smiles in the bbpress. I will insert it in my reply form.

For example with:

<script type="text/javascript">
function addsmile($smile){
document.getElementById('comment').value=document.getElementById('comment').value+' '+$smile+' ';
}
</script>
<?php
global $wpsmiliestrans;
$dm_showsmiles = '';
$dm_smiled = array();
foreach ($wpsmiliestrans as $tag => $dm_smile) {
 if (!in_array($dm_smile,$dm_smiled)) {
 $dm_smiled[] = $dm_smile;
 $tag = str_replace(' ', '', $tag);
 $dm_showsmiles .= '<img src="'.get_bloginfo('wpurl').'/wp-includes/images/smilies/'.$dm_smile.'" alt="'.$tag.'" onclick="addsmile(\''.$tag.'\');"/> ';
 }
}
echo '<div style="width:100%; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;">'.$dm_showsmiles.'</div>';
?>

But it did not works. Have anybode idea why?

Are you talking bbPress or BuddyPress ?
Registered ? Do you mean ‘subscribed’ ?

I temporarily solved my problem by installing this widget, as I just got FTP access today and have not attempted to follow other options via creating a bbPress.php page, etc.

Here’s the plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-login-register-links-on-forum-topic-pages/

You can edit it and configure 4 different places that it shows up, but it’s not in the plugin options, you have to “edit” the plugin and you’ll see the code that designates what shows up where, such as this:
add_action(‘bbp_template_before_pagination_loop’,’bbpressLoginRegisterLinksOnForumPage’);

If you have a standard bbPress installation, then passwords are handled by WordPress.
In most cases there is a (security) plugin that blocks something, so try deactivating other plugins.

Do you get the email back after the request for password reset ?
How far do you get after clicking on the reset password link ?

Hi everyone, this work for me

https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/

[Robin W]

bbpress doesn’t have theme’s – it uses your sites theme, but sometimes integration is not great.

Unfortunately your link produces a certificate error (The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website’s address.) on the https side, so I didn’t visit.

If it is just styling rather than function try my plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
Otherwise give us a valid link, and I’ll take a quick look

[Robin W]

but yes as Pascal says, you do need to list the forums that you want to include

and I have just updated the plugin for a technical error which should not affect you, but you may want to load the latest version from my site

Hi!

Late, but here is my promised Feedback.

The Forum is just too big to get this going. I am paying a Coder not to get a custom Script for this.

Cant wait to finally switch to BBpress…

Thanks for the help tho!

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
That seems like a pure WordPress question, not really for bbPress.
But have a look at this: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/15304/how-to-change-the-default-registration-email-plugin-and-or-non-plugin

Pascal.

[stewmills]

Facts:
– WordPress 4.2.2
– bbPress 2.5.8
– Theme – Karma 3.0.3

How do I change who gets notified when there is a new user registration request? The default email address that is in my WP profile is not necessarily who I want to get the new user requests as the persons managing the forum are separate from those managing the general site, etc.

Thanks

@netweb this is probably for you btw. as you seem to be the only active dev on bbpress?

[siparker]

the answer is probably. although i would say i am not going to let the last 3 weeks go to waste because of a url rewriting issue.

I am happy to put in $200 to sponsor this fix. anyone else willing to add something to this and make a bugfix bounty style approach. it might help to kickoff the bbpress development again.

Basically i want to have the ability to create the forum url permalink structure and the thread permalink structure. as per this ticket, https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2258

I dont care where it goes although within the tools > forums would be fine. or under settings permalinks a forum tab there to actually group similar tools in a sensible way.

If you want to do this development please let me know

Plugin is required also and must not be htaccess rewrites. As i use nginx not apache htaccess style fixes are not an option which suits everyone.

Better to post a new topic for a new question with a specific title, so others can find it in the search …

Hi,
The plugin works fine, but on standard bbPress forums. Do use buddypress groups ?

Hi,
This comes back every 6 months 🙂
This thread can maybe help you out: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/reply-to-post-from-email/

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
You seem to refer to BuddyPress, this here is the bbPress forum… So it’s probably better to ask on the BuddyPress forum 🙂
Pascal.

[Robin W]

ok so for the roles, you should see and use

Custom Capabilities

loop_single_forum in your child theme is the right way to go

If you need further help in doing this (or anything else!) – please feel free to ask, like all things it is a learning curve 🙂

[Robin W]

your blogs.css line 1427

has

.single .commentmetadata, .single .reply {
  left: -15px;
  margin: 10px 0;
  opacity: 0.3;
  position: relative;
}

suggest you try adding

#bbpress-forums .reply {
  opacity: 1;
}

to your css.

come back if you need further help in doing this !

You can also use bbp_create_initial_content() with some bbp_parse_args() to generate your content, bbPress uses this to crate some sample/initial content when installing on multisite installs.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.5/includes/core/update.php#L174

[awal16]

I made a few changes in the capabilities.php, in the bbpress/includes/core folder. I added some roles to the participant, like edit_others_topics => false, etc…

And in the loop_single_forum.php, but that file I already placed in the root of my child-theme.

[rhunecke]

I was wondering if there is any plugin available to create a new topic via email.
I’m using a contact form which I would also like to use to auto-create a topic containing the same information which was sent to me by email.

So I thought about connecting the email-account to bbpress, so anything is posted automatically to bbbpress as well.

[ying-sun]

hi. i want new topics and replies to show up in the activity stream, but right now they are not.

i added this to bp-custom.php:

add_post_type_support( 'topic', 'buddypress-activity' );

which works, but with a generic “UserName wrote a new item.” it seems like there must be a better, easier way to tie the two together. looking at the bbpress files, i see this:

public function register_activity_actions() {

// Sitewide activity stream items
bp_activity_set_action( $this->component, $this->topic_create, esc_html__( 'New forum topic', 'bbpress' ) );
bp_activity_set_action( $this->component, $this->reply_create, esc_html__( 'New forum reply', 'bbpress' ) );
}

i don’t know if they’re not getting called or they’re conflicting with something or what, but they aren’t doing what it seems like they should be doing. is there a setting i’m missing to activate this feature?

little help?

[Robin W]

no, core functions in bbpress cannot be put in other folders.

Generally it is not recommended that you change bbpress itself. Rather almost all bbpress functionality can be filtered, so that the plugin remains complete and changes are put in your theme’s functions file using wordpress filering capability.

What changes did you make? If small, let me know which lines in which file, and post the changes here, and I’ll try to help you with what you should put in your functions file.

You should also make those changes (and the template files you copied ) in a child theme, so that theme updates donlt overwrite these
