bbPress Styling Crib

see no. 5

[Robin W]

you should see

(bbpress) Forum serach Form
(bbpress) Forums List
(bbpress) Login Widget
(bbpress) recent replies
(bbpress) Recent topics
(bbpress) Statistics
(bbpress) topics views list

do you not see all these?

[tsabar]

i see only 2 bbpress widgets, 1 for topics and 1 for search

[cubeacid]

So, I have managed to hide “post-form” by editing “bbpress.css”-file

Added line “display: none;”

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form {
display: none;
clear: left;

But this hides “post-form” completely so I’m not able to, for example, reply any topics there are in forums. Anyone?

[Robin W]

If I have understood you correctly you want to change the reply form you’ll be looking at

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-reply.php which sets up the forum and on line 57 calls

bbp_the_content

this function is in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress\includes\common\template.php

line 1706

you’d probably want to write a filter fro that function

if you’re familiar with wordpress args parsing, bbpress does it in the same way

apply_filter (‘xx’ , ‘bbp_before_get_the_content_parse_args’)

and then write a function xx that adds you initial text to $args[‘before’] should do it

Don’t; have time to write and test it at the mo, but come back if you need further help

[tsabar]

when adding the bbpress topics widget to my sidebar, all that appears is a link to popular posts and to unanswered posts. there are no posts themselves displayed in the widget.

shouldn’t i see a list of topics from the forum in the widget?

[AlexSpace]

I have seen a lot of forums whith this feature too, but it wasnt bbPress. I even dont know where should I change a code, I cant find this function template. I think that I could write a code for the feature by myself, but I need to find the template.php.

[creator2000]

Any idea what I did wrong and how to fix it?

Got it figured out! In the new bbpress.php file I changed line 22 code:

from this
<section id="main">

to this:
<section id="main" class="col-left">

All good now!

Hi all,
i would like to know if there’s a way to hide subject when they’re closed.
Thx by advance for your answer and have a nice day

PS : i’m using WordPress Version 4.0 and bbPress Version 2.5.4

[cubeacid]

Hello,

I’m running BBpress 2.5.4 and want to run private forum. So far I have created forum and main topics, but I want to hide topic posting box in the index page of forum in the way that regular registered users can create topics only in main topics. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance!

[Ricsca2]

I’m using the theme Hueman but I see the characters bbPress much smaller than those of defoult of the theme.
Where can I enlarge the font bbPress?

thanks

[Peter Kriegel]

I post only to confirm that I have a similar issue.

I have enabled the Crayon Button to Post code over the crayon Popup.
It inserts allways the pre Tag with a class attribute.
If I Post as Admin with Crayon Syntax Highlighter in bbPress all is fine.
If I post as a User the angle brackets of the preliminary pre Tag are geting masked like so:
& lt; pre class=”lang:arduino decode:true crayon-selected” & gt;

If I remove the class attribute and put in a simple < pre > all works fine.

@netweb Thank you for your workaround I will Ty it!

[naaatasha]

Where can I insert this long code? I’m beginner in bbpress 🙁

I guess this is where I need to be… the PunBB misfits…

Hello,

I am pleased to be here. I am the owner of about 16 WP web sites, that support three different businesses. One of the businesses is a network for singers, that I am preparing to refurbish into a proper membership / paid access service. Here is the link:

http://www.TheModernVocalistWorld.com

In this large network for singers, there currently is a very successful message board / forum that is hosted with PunBB. Here is the link:

http://www.TheModernVocalistForum.com

This is my hottest asset and the first to become monetized. I have learned that PunBB migrates successfully to bbpress. Can you please confirm this is still the case?

If, can you help me with the following questions:

– What are the best links or information I can pass onto my WP consultant to make this migration from PunBB to bbpress successful? Any additional tips or things to look out for?

– What plug-ins would you then recommend to make the the forum and other pieces of content on my network paid access? I was considering S2Membership… is that recommended or do you have other solutions?

– My other option is to possibly migrate everything over to the new cool, http://www.newrainmaker.com platform. The affiliate program, one point of registration, alleged claim to be less IT hassles, and other features seem very appealing! Do you bbpress experts agree that a migration to http://www.newrainmaker.com is a good idea? Any concerns or things to know before doing so?

– Is there a difference between migrating my PunBB forum to bbpress if I use it in an existing WP site or if I were to continue my migration to http://www.newrainmaker.com? (FYI… the rain maker guys advised that I move PunBB to bbpress).

– Does anyone here at bbpress specialize or have experience in this migration from PunBB to bbpress and if so, what would your fee be?

i can name two forums on the top of my head that has achieved this exact feature, but the developers have not shared how to do it (or at least i havent found it in the forums).

so yeah its all up to some custom development , either you go hack some quote plugins like bbpress direct quotes and gd bbpress tools or you hire a developer to create something for you.

[Robin W]

bbpress has two ways to display the forums – see

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

You just have a page called chat, whilst the slug is still set to forum, so the latter is what the breadcrumb shows.

so you need to do two things

1. change the slug to chat
2. get bbpress to use your template with a sidebar

I was trying to fix no. 2 first

Suggest you refer the issue to you theme provider

[nathanegraham]

Thanks @jugoretz

I can also confirm that updating to WP 4.0 didn’t resolve the issue described above. Any thoughts on how to fix this issue while we wait for the next bbPress update?

[euphonics]

Thanks @robin-w and everybody, this helped me a lot.

For future googlers: I was having the issue described by OP using a theme called Kabuto. After I installed bbPress, I could create new topics, but when I went to view the forum from the front end, the posts would not display. Instead, I got:

Then under that there’s the message, “Oh bother! No topics were found here!”

Installing the plugin recommended by RobinW fixed the problem. http://www.rewweb.co.uk/bbpress-wp4-fix/

Not quite sure if I understand exactly what you want, but one of these should help..

If you want to display a search form at the top of single topics add the following to your functions.php file:

    function my_bbp_topic_search_form(){
        ?>
        <div class="bbp-search-form">
     
            <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>
     
        </div>
        <?php
    }
    add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_topic', 'my_bbp_topic_search_form' );

If you want a search form at the top of single forums (or sub forums) use the following in your functions.php file:

    function my_bbp_forum_search_form(){
        ?>
        <div class="bbp-search-form">
     
            <?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>
     
        </div>
        <?php
    }
    add_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'my_bbp_forum_search_form' );

If you want to limit results to the topic or forum in question that will be a little more tricky but the following post will point you in the right direction (it shows you how to limit searching to a single forum – you’ll need to customise further to apply it to a single topic): http://sevenspark.com/tutorials/how-to-search-a-single-forum-with-bbpress.

Hope that helps.

Sorry, I didn’t answer all questions. Here it is:
Always done this?- no
just started?-yes
just installed bbpress? – installed about a month ago
have you added anything – like plugins? – MailPoet Newsletters
changed themes – no
updated plugins- yes (WordPress SEO, Contact Form 7)
updated wordpress? automatic
what versions of bbpress – 2.5.4
& wordpress – 4.0
are you running, which theme? frontier

and what is a ‘response’ – a reply to a topic? – yes

[Toby]

Is there a way to display unanswered topics in a single forum or in a group forum?

You can do this for all forums using sitename.tld/forums/view/no-replies, but if I go to sitename.tld/groups/groupname/forum/view/no-replies I just get a blank page. If I go to sitename.tld/forums/forum/forumname/view/no-replies, however, I get a 404.

Using latest versions of bbpress and buddypress, custom theme, login protected site so can’t post link.

Thanks for your help.

You can always forward me some problems i would love to give it a try … I have read whole bbpress documentation, i want to get much more familiar to it so you can shoot at me any problem…

Great – and thanks for posting the solution !

[Robin W]

ok, make a copy of this file and rename it bbpress.php

put this file in the root of your theme

ie

wp-content/themes/%yourthemename%/bbpress.php

where %yourthemename% is the name of your theme!

Then amend as follows

change

// Sidebar
 /////////////////////////////////////////////
 if ($themify->layout != “sidebar-none”): get_sidebar(); endif; ?>

to

// Sidebar
 /////////////////////////////////////////////
 get_sidebar();  ?>

This will then force bbpress to use a forum with a sidebar

[CodingMachine]

I found Solution…! hope may someone else with same customs…
steps to do display wp_users roles excluding bbpress default role
1) First create a folder in your child theme named wp-content/theme/yourchildtheme/bbpress.
2) Then copy the loop-single-reply.php from wp-content\plugins\bbpress\templates\default\bbpress
3) Go line 47 and replace the line

bbp_reply_author_link( array( ‘sep’ => ‘<br />’, ‘show_role’ => false ) );

with

bbp_reply_author_link( array( ‘sep’ => ‘<br />’, ‘show_role’ => false ) );
$reply_author_id = get_post_field( ‘post_author’, bbp_get_reply_id() );
$user = new WP_User( $reply_author_id );

if ( !empty( $user->roles ) && is_array( $user->roles ) )
{
foreach ( $user->roles as $role )
{
/*if (preg_match(“/”.$roles.”/i”, “administrator”))
{
echo(“Administrator”);
break;
}
else*/
echo “<div class=’role_custom_bhush’>”.ucfirst($role).”</div>”;
break;
}
}

hope anyone find it helpful and can reply for any queries on this
