Hello,
I’m working on an application what communicate to bbPress using RESTful API. I’m struggling to find an equivalent function that would output the nested/threaded topic replies into a data structure such as array or JSON format. I see that bbp_list_replies() does just what I wanted, but rather than putting the result inside a data structure, this function displays the output as HTML data. Is there a function which will accomplish my description above or is this something I’ll have to write up?

Many thanks.

Subject says it all!

Inside bbpress/templates/default/bbpress-functions.php

yes that one.

You can place a copy of the file right into your child theme and customize it from there.

You can do the same thing for the other files in bbPress too.

Theme Compatibility

[TKServer]

Are you saying that you want to move the bbpress-functions.php file into your theme to make it easier to customize the functions already in the plugin??

YES @robkk. Just didn’t want to redeclare the functions. Will that be an issue? If I can pull in whole functions.php then a whole new world will open up.

I see the files
common/functions.php
theme/core… Wait a sec I just found it…

Inside bbpress/templates/default/bbpress-functions.php

So I just call that from my custom page I guess?

@casiepa yes I do. I’m creating an outside of bbpress page which is a threaded forum view with some extra features. I did not create a forum myself, though the thought crossed my mind until I found bbp.

Stick with purging the installation there, but it has worked for a user by just using sql code.

Go into a single forum by selecting a forum in the forum list in the left sidebar or go to this url and create a topic.

Create New Topic

[intristin]

I can’t get this to work. That go in the theme’s stylesheet? I’m still getting the pesky sidebar. I’ve tried everything, read tons of posts, Why isn’t “hide sidebar” a standard option? It’s like going into a coffee shop and them telling me there is no milk or sugar to put in my coffee. lol, sorry for being sarcastic this is just very stressful.

I created a new page, I added the shortcode, I choose the template with no sidebar on the page I created, and bbpress just ignores it completely. Is that code meant to go in the bbpress css file, that makes no sense to me since it’s a plugin. Maybe it’s the theme I’m using.

I am standing up a forum for posting backgammon positions.

The two commonly used pieces of backgammon software export html board positions
using a relative path to an images file. i.e

How do I make bbpress think that this folder structure exists and point it to a folder with these gifs in it? I have been searching all over the place and haven’t been able to find a clear answer.

Thanks,
Robert

I’m literally crying over here.

I’ve been trying at this for days. Go here, change this, do that is so vague. Not everyone is a coder.

I have tried adding this code to css, that template to bbpress files on cpanel

I just want to be able to READ MY FORUM POSTS.
The main page is okay. Click on a topic, the whole thing is grey, white/ you can see the writing but its as if there is a white overlay over the whole thing.

I feel like breaking my computer and screaming as this is really stupid.

@gperez-tl

Do you only get the logout confirmation nonce when bbPress is activated??

[Robkk]

You do not need to put the forum index shortcode in a page. And you can add content above the forum by editing the forum archive template if you copied it in a child theme in a folder called bbpress.

The actual forum index/root page is the one that the forum list button is redirecting to.

Hi

I embedded the Forum Index inside a WordPress page: http://tsalawchamber.org/?page_id=251 . Created a new forum (‘General’). But when I open the new forum and afterwards want to go back to the original WordPress page where the Forum Index was embedded, I can’t. When I click the “To Forums List” blue button at the top of the new Forum, it goes to a new page – which is I guess is called ‘Forum Root’ (?). This page also displays a list of existing Forums like the original WordPress page where I embedded the Forum Index, but I don’t want to go to this page by clicking “To Forums List” button – I want to go back to the original WordPress page. How can I do this? How can I change the destination of the “To Forums List” button and point it to the original WordPress page (not just for one forum, but automatically for all new forums) ?
I tried this by deleting the default Forum Root Slug “forums” from Settings and leaving the field blank, but this didn’t work. It only rendered the “To Forums List” button inactive. I also changed the default Forum Root Slug to the original wordpress page slug, but this did not work either. So, how can I do this?

Also, if this cannot be achieved through the “To Forums List” button, then how can I stop this button from appearing in new forums and insert a custom button which will point to the original WordPress page?

Please help me!

Yes there is a bug, it is fixed in the latest dev version.

Use this temporary solution to fix the issue for now.

Wrong bbp_get_reply_url() when paging with reverse order

[jean-philippeencausse]

Hi,

I use a template with BuddyPress and BBPress tp handle private Social Network.

Each BuddyPress Group has it’s own BBPress Forum.

How can I set private topics in that Forum ? Topic between Moderators and a given Member.

I don’t / can’t create a Forum for each Member ?

[luisc110]

Ok guys i did it for myself
In style.css (appearence -> editor) add this

.bbpress #secondary {      
display: none;
}

#secondary is your widget / sidebar

then add

.bbpress #primary {
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 980px;
    width: 100%;
}

#primary is the part of the page that you want to be full width

Reset forum don’t work, how to clean up the db with phpmyadmin?

[namrons]

Thanks for the suggestion @casiepa but I have a large and well established Buddypress based community and cannot rebuild the groups. Unless it works with Buddypress based groups? My bbPress forums are set up only inside these Buddypress groups and I imagined that the private groups would support fully private forums. The “bbp-topic-index” shortcode provided by bbPress makes the private groups forum topics visible to members of the community who are not part of these private groups.

[TKServer]

Hi TKServer,
I see several questions here from you and they seem to indicate you want to create topics and replies yourself by creating the posts and adding the metadata yourself.
I would propose you really check bbpress functions that exist that do this for you autmatically, so you don’t need to worry about what exact metadata to add.
Pascal.

Yes that’s a great solution. The problem is that I’m doing it outside of the bbpress application. Any thoughts? For now I’ve taken the function that writes and new post and new meta and modified it to work with my custom page.

[Robkk]

You can also keep download a copy of bbPress and search through through the files as well.

_bbp_activity_id is part of the BuddyPress integration code in bbPress specifically the activity component part of BuddyPress.

Hi TKServer,
Several lists exists. I normally start from http://hookr.io/plugins/bbpress/2.5.6/functions/#index=a
Pascal.

[Pascal Casier]

TKServer,
Do you have bbpress installed ? Or you created the forum yourself and now you want to expand your own development by uses some good functions from bbPress ?
Pascal.

[Robkk]

Are you saying that you want to move the bbpress-functions.php file into your theme to make it easier to customize the functions already in the plugin??

You can do that, just copy the bbpress-functions.php file into your theme/child theme.

If you want to customize some functionality in bbPress, you can use the hooks and filters provided in the plugin too.

[TKServer]

I’ve made a threaded forum list which looks really nice. I’ve added a little code to reply to posts but it isn’t writing the meta and I really don’t know what to write in the meta.

I’m thinking it would be cool to bring in the entire bbpress functions.php to my page to utilize those functions already, rather than writing my own code for things.

Is that possible to import functions.php and use it outside of bbpress?

The main functions I would be looking for are posting and replying.
