ideas for plugin exploration

there is a plugin section on this site, it basically pulls information from the wordpress.org plugin section on any plugin tagged “bbpress”

i’d say search the plugins section

search the forums on this site so you would find some developed plugins that are not yet on wordpress.org

check some in the list here https://codex.bbpress.org/feature-plugins-tracking/

on gist.github.com/ there are a few snippets in plugin format , especially netweb’s gists https://gist.github.com/ntwb

there are also paid plugins on sites like codecanyon

and there is always google.com

I want to be able to add some fields to the BBpress post. So in addition to Topic Title, content,and Topic Tags I might also be able to add a custom spam field

if you are doing a honeypot type of spam protection please share how to achieve this when you have accomplished coding it , it might help other users …heck even this site.

[Robkk]

try this CSS

.bbpress .vcard .avatar {
position: relative;
left: auto;
top: auto;
}

I’m having trouble and I’m not sure if this just can’t be done or I’m missing something basic.

I’m using wordpress 4.1.1 and bbpress 2.5.4. The set up I’m trying to achieve is anyone visiting the site (not registered) can view the forums, but can’t create topics or reply. Registered users can both create and reply to topics. Is there any way to do this?

[Robin W]

yes look in the form templates which you’ll find in the plugin
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress

in particular

bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php
and
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php

either

a)( You’ll find several hooks in there which you can add_action to , or

b) you can copy these templates to your theme and modify happily by

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

then find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/xx.php

where xx.php is say form-topic.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/xx.php
where xx.php is say form-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

HI all.

I want to be able to add some fields to the BBpress post. So in addition to Topic Title, content,and Topic Tags I might also be able to add a custom spam field, custom meta tags, etc. Can anybody tell me what the hooks are to accomplish that?

[Robin W]

great -besy way to learn, I knew nothing of bbpress two years ago !

Come back if you get stuck, and if I can help with quick pointers I will.

In the spirit of community, it would also be great if you shard the solution if you get there, this is occasionally asked for, and I’ll add it to the codex.

key bit is on the topics widget for most recent replies, which you would copy and use

// Order by most recent replies
case ‘freshness’ :
$topics_query = array(
‘post_type’ => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
‘post_parent’ => $settings[‘parent_forum’],
‘posts_per_page’ => (int) $settings[‘max_shown’],
‘post_status’ => array( bbp_get_public_status_id(), bbp_get_closed_status_id() ),
‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => true,
‘no_found_rows’ => true,
‘meta_key’ => ‘_bbp_last_active_time’,
‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’,
‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
);
break;

that’s where the meta key bit is, so if your plugin stores as ‘_rating’, then that’s what would go in the meta_key line.

[jeroenkosterr]

I am not searching for a plugin actually. Need the php code to show these options.
Maybe its a wordpress thing or maybe its a BBpress thing or maybe both.

Hello Guys,

First of all great job on BBpress! Really like it!.(Hope i am in the right corner for my question)

I got a question about a login bar i want to create. My website http://hardstyle-united.nl needs one under the navigation on the upper right side(It says “Hallo”) . I want to make it exactly how its build here on bbpress.

Basically: When not logged in i want to show Hello Guest: Login | Register
When logged in i would like to show: Hello “username” Avatar | Logout

[Robin W]

Most replied to is already in the topics widget (as most popular), so it would be nicking that query code.

It would not be tons of code to do a rating, as long as the rating system stores the score in post_meta, then a simple query with that meta would do it.

Just that I haven’t got time to code it at the moment.

suggest you

a) look at bbpress rating plugins
b) check that they store scores in post_meta
c) either code yourself (see bbpress/includes/common/widgets) for the widget code,
d) or pay someone to do it http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[chieper]

not sure if it would help, but just tried this plugin, https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-notify-nospam/, and works perfectly find with me. =)

[Murphy233]

I realize that end user manuals are the responsibility of the community I had hoped that someone else might have seen that need and solved it. I myself as a brand new novice to bbPress am hardly qualified. Not only that but it will add several weeks to launch date

[meridian367]

Hello there,

So I have an existing bbpress sitting on another WordPress site. We are redesigning this website and migrating its content to a new install.

On the old website I exported Forums, Topics, and Replies using the WP Export tool. On the new website I first import Forums which works fine. Next after I import the Topics xml and check the topics page, I see all the topics, but they aren’t associated with the correct forum, the just say “No Forum”.

Is this a bug? Or is there a better way to pick up and move the entire forum to a new WordPress install?

Thanks so much!

[bazaarocommunity]

I’ve been struggling for a while now to get the forum import tool to run efficiently. I notice that for some forums, the mysql query code is supplied, but for others it is not. It seems that the process would run a lot faster if I performed the entire operation in mysql instead of using the import tool. I have ~2M posts I need to import. Does anyone have the MYSQL queries for converting Xenforo to BbPress?

Thanks!

[Robin W]

your theme is having some issues with bbpress, in particular when trying to display that page there is an error

<article id=”<br /> <b>Warning</b>: Missing argument 1 for getMagicrechePageID(), called in /homepages/33/d197641801/htdocs/AdoptionChatter/wp-content/themes/magicreche/page.php on line 25 and defined in <b>/homepages/33/d197641801/htdocs/AdoptionChatter/wp-content/themes/magicreche/functions.php</b> on line <b>325</b><br /> chat-and-share-all-thing-adoption-fostering” class=”post-579 forum type-forum status-publish hentry”>

Suggest you refer to your theme author

[VSensational]

Could anyone recommend a rating and/or sorting plugin that will let me sort the threads on my bbpress forum by the highest voted and/or most replied to threads? I’m thinking Reddit here, i.e. upvotes and then shifting “sort by” to Top and so on.

Unless this is built into bbpress default and I’m just being an idiot, in which case please point me in the right direction to set that up.

[Chitter-Chatter]

Hi, Hopefully this is a quick fix for a newbie Forum creator.
If you look at my adoption site ( http://www.adoptionchatter.co.uk/forums/forum/chat-and-share-all-thing-adoption-fostering/ ) youll notice there is some text of the bbpress page covered by my themes menu bar.
Is there a way to nudge down the BBpress page so all is visable please.
Look forward to your help 🙂

First remove the data

dashboard>tools>forums>reset forums

then remove the plugin

dashboard>plugins>all plugins>bbpress deactivate and then delete plugin

[bharasthsunny]

I would like to shift from BBpress to Phpbb . So I would like to remove the bbpress forum that I have created for my Blog. Can anyone tell me how to do that ?

[jtstables]

OK, working on it.

Two weeks ago you helped me with an issue under the topic, “Stop users from making topics”.

You had me to change the following code:

<?php

/**
* Single Forum Content Part
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/

?>

<div id=”bbpress-forums”>

<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_template_before_single_forum’ ); ?>

<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘protected’ ); ?>

<?php else : ?>

<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>

<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘forums’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( !bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php elseif ( !bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘feedback’, ‘no-topics’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_template_after_single_forum’ ); ?>

</div>

Could this have caused the problem when they upgraded WP? LIke I said the forum worked great until the upgrade.

Thanks

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[Robin W]

why not just have one form, referenced by a button at the top.

function bsp_create_new_topica () {
	 $text='Create New Topic' ;
	if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && !bbp_is_forum_category() ) echo '<div style="text-align: center;">  <a href ="#topic">'.$text.'</div>' ;
	}

function bsp_create_new_topicb () {
	echo '<a name="topic"></a>' ;
	}

	
add_action ( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'bsp_create_new_topica' ) ;
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form', 'bsp_create_new_topicb' ) ;

(not tested as its cut down code from one of my plugins)

adds a link which lets you add a link to the top of the page which sends you to the bottom, which you can easily make a button.

add to your functions file https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

or take the guts into the template you’re amending.

You could probably send it to a collapsing div at the bottom if you tinker

That way you only have one form
