[Mr-B]

We have a team who have been working over summer on a site for English speaking ex-pats living in Germany.
We have chosen a Templatic theme business directory, and have integrated bbPress as a forum. There are some bbPress formatting limitations because of the theme, and we have done our best with CSS to try and make the bbPress part responsive for a mobile. We prefer the newest first comments so make use of the excellent plugin “bbpress-sort-topic-replies”.
We went through a process of evaluating many different forums, including Muut, but in the end good ol’ SEO won the battle, bbPress having nice old-fashioned sitemap entries.
So here it is (feedback welcome)!

well when i look at mycred i see its pretty powerful .

it has a points system and also badges http://mycred.me/add-ons/badges/

heres a link of everthing thats built in

Add-ons

wp acheivements also has built in compatibility with mycred , bbpress, userpro , wordpress, woocommerce, and cubepoints

Their is also another i think completely free plugin called achievements for wordpress

https://wordpress.org/plugins/achievements/

this also has built in compatibilty with bbpress , and i think the plugin developer also is a part of team of developers of buddypress maybe bbpress too but not sure.

I would test out all the free achievement plugins first on a local development server like wamp for windows , or mamp for macintosh and see what suits your needs.

I have “WordPress”, forum “bbPress”, plugin “UserPro” … And I want to give points, rewards for users of my website, when they share articles, make comments, create forum topic, etc and has appears in his profile for everybody to see (points and medals).

So what should I use ?

Plugin mycred? Plugin WPAchievements codecanyon? or what?

Help me please.

[Robkk]

I want to make sure that there is not an existing alternative before start writing code (I’m not very familiar at writing code for bbpress).

ok alright , some other users want this functionality so it will be great for someone to make it 🙂

Hi,

I have been working with WordPress 4.1a BuddyPress 2.2b and would like to try them with bbPress 2.6 and help if possible, just you have in in that dir and the amount of strain trying to right click right click to get all the bare files, can you just zip it for me please??

Sorry I got half way and had to give in.

[tlmoffett]

Okay. I finally got into the wp-content directory and have checked the page templates and found I am using the correct template, but I still can’t see the bbPress sidebar.

[JBBoY]

Thank you again for your response! yes, that’s exactly what I want. But I can’t believe there is not a plugin to do this kind of moderation on bbpress.

Hi all,

I have a WordPress 4 / bbpress plugin installation.
I’d like to the able to insert a table into posts on the forum (like this one here).
Stuff I found mostly concerns either user authentication / MySQL (not what I’m after), or it doesn’t work (using the [table]…[/table] tags).
Could anybody please point me in the right direction, or tell me how to do this?
thanks!

[snecz]

I’ve got the same problem. Fresh install of WP 4.0 and bbPress on localhost and can’t create new topics or reply.

[Robkk]

the ip address is only visible to keymasters and i think moderators too.

stars and medals sounds like an achivement plugin. you can search the wordpress.org plugin repository for one that is compatible with bbpress.

[Robkk]

well isnt the way bbpress forums are structured is

example.com/forums/forum/name-of-forum

so

example.com/forums/forum

would not go any where , or am i missing something

what exactly are you trying to do . put a topic form where??

post pic for example.

[tlmoffett]

I am using WordPress 4.0 and bbPress 2.5.4. My site is http://tomscustomwoodcraft.com using the Aspen Pro theme. I am also using the bbPress WP Tweaks plugin. I have followed the documentation to setup the Forums and that’s working, but when I try to use the sidebar for registration and login nothing shows up. The documentation says to go to the wp-content directory to check the page template(s). I know nothing about coding and I have no idea how to get to wp-content directory. Please help!!

[JBBoY]

Thank you very much Robkk, so then I must assume there is no plugin with these kind of functionalities? I have set moderator privileges to all my forum moderators with certain capabilities (like edit forums, delete forums, etc…) and do not want them to enter the wordpress admin area to ban unwanted users. That’s why I’m searching for a bbpress plugin in order to add these ban capabilities to my moderators only on the bbpress side.

Cheers.

<?php
	if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'author' => 0, 'show_stickies' => false, 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_parent' => 'any', 'posts_per_page' => 10 ) ) )
		bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'topics' );
	?>

I had put this code to my template. But how can I change the post_parent Parameter automatik, that the plugin know in wich forum he is and show me the right topics.

Thx

[Stephen Edgar]

See the code I just posted here, add’s the CSS classes without template modifications 🙂

Topic background color depending on role

Also going to close this, rather than others bumping it in the future 😉

[selenii]

Yes, this is for forums/forum but not for forums/forum/bbpress

[Stephen Edgar]

For #3 the user topic and reply counts underneath their role in each topic/reply will be in the next release of bbPress.

And images based on forum roles can be achieved using the same code I just posted here by inserting the image using CSS :before or :after pseudo elements .

[Stephen Edgar]

This should do the trick without any template modifications:

add_filter('bbp_before_get_reply_author_role_parse_args', 'ntwb_bbpress_reply_css_role' );
function ntwb_bbpress_reply_css_role() {

	$role = strtolower( bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) ) );
	$args['class']  = 'bbp-author-role bbp-author-role-' . $role;
	$args['before'] = '';
	$args['after']  = '';

	return $args;
}

add_filter('bbp_before_get_topic_author_role_parse_args', 'ntwb_bbpress_topic_css_role' );
function ntwb_bbpress_topic_css_role() {

	$role = strtolower( bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ) ) );
	$args['class']  = 'bbp-author-role bbp-author-role-' . $role;
	$args['before'] = '';
	$args['after']  = '';

	return $args;
}

It grabs the topic or reply author role and adds another CSS class with prefix bbp-role- so you now have a new set of CSS classes e.g. bbp-role-keymaster, bbp-role-moderator, bbp-role-participant etc that you can then add your custom CSS styles to.

[mattmatt88]

Still need help with that.
Would be really great if bbpress would support Multisite.

[Robkk]

1. to get a full-width forums, you need to create a bbpress.php more information in this link

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

after you create a bbpress.php from your page.php just delete the sidebar code that should say like
<?php get_sidebar in the template.

2. You can follow this tutorial on this website to replace the voice count with a views count.

Adding Topics View Counter in BBPress

there are other ways to display views in bbpress also like by using this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-simple-view-counts/

3. Are you talking about the layout of the reply author area on ip board where it shows an image based on user role and the total post count of the user??

images based on forum role i cant find a solution just yet , might post solution later . Its most likey just going to include alot of conditionals based on forum role.

total post count for users is easy, you can easily just use robins plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-topic-count/

[arno8]

Still no clue where to add `$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );
$abc_role = bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) );`

I tried on the location where u said, like this:

<div id="post-<?php bbp_reply_id(); ?>" class="bbp-reply-header">
$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );
$abc_role = bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) );
	<div class="bbp-meta">

		<span class="bbp-reply-post-date"><?php bbp_reply_post_date(); ?></span>

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

			<span class="bbp-header">
				<?php _e( 'in reply to: ', 'bbpress' ); ?>
				<a class="bbp-topic-permalink" href="<?php bbp_topic_permalink( bbp_get_reply_topic_id() ); ?>"><?php bbp_topic_title( bbp_get_reply_topic_id() ); ?></a>
			</span>

		<?php endif; ?>

		<a href="<?php bbp_reply_url(); ?>" class="bbp-reply-permalink">#<?php bbp_reply_id(); ?></a>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_admin_links' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_reply_admin_links(); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_admin_links' ); ?>

	</div><!-- .bbp-meta -->

</div><!-- #post-<?php bbp_reply_id();?>-->

But this just shows the custom code on the website instead of running it.

please help on this 🙂

[darrenabidris]

’d be grateful for some help.

I’ve recently set-up a wordpress site using version 4.0. The theme is twenty eleven (I’ve tried other themes as well). So far, I’ve haven’t added any content or plugins.

The only thing I’ve tried to add is bbpress (Version: 2.5.4).

After adding this plugin I get a “Fatal error: Out of memory”. I’ve contacted my hosting company and they’ve increased the memory limit to 256M by adding define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’); in wp-config.php. I’ve uninstalled and re-installed bbpress but still get the out of memory error.

I’d be grateful for any help in resolving this problem.

Many thanks,

Darren

About the forum IPS (IP.Board) – http://www.invisionpower.com/apps/board/

3 items he has, and I would like my bbPress has:

1. It is wider, has no sidebar, leaving the larger forum.

2. In the list of topics, the number of responses and the number of visits, example, had 300 views and 4 responses appears.

3. When you put a message on the left side of the screen where the image is and the user’s name appears just below the image the following items:
If it is user Common, Moderator or Administrator, AND, number of posts already posted in the user forum.

[Robkk]

-well i have not tried this but to disable any link on a post appearing you can go to settings>disscussion and then change the number of links to 1. So that you arent totally stripping links and only trying to only allow approved links like youtube.com from appearing.

Hold a comment in the queue if it contains [1] or more links. (A common characteristic of comment spam is a large number of hyperlinks.)

yes i know this is usually for comments but ive read some of these settings are either working on bbpress now or in the future.

-you can also just strip the links from either working by using this function.
plop it into your child themes funcitons.php or a functionality plugin.

add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags' );
 
function ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags() {
	return array(
 
		// Links
		'a'          => array(
			'class'    => false,
			'href'     => false,
			'title'    => false,
			'rel'      => false,
			'class'    => false,
			'target'    => false,
		),
 
		// Quotes
		'blockquote' => array(
			'cite'     => true,
		),
 
		// Span
		'span'             => array(
			'class'     => true,
		),
		
		// Code
		'code'       => array(),
		'pre'        => array(
			'class'  => true,
		),
 
		// Formatting
		'em'         => array(),
		'strong'     => array(),
		'del'        => array(
			'datetime' => true,
		),
 
		// Lists
		'ul'         => array(),
		'ol'         => array(
			'start'    => true,
		),
		'li'         => array(),
 
		// Images
		'img'        => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'src'      => true,
			'border'   => true,
			'alt'      => true,
			'height'   => true,
			'width'    => true,
		),
 
		// Tables
		'table'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'bgcolor'  => true,
			'border'   => true,
		),
		'tbody'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'td'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'tfoot'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'th'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'thead'      => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		),
		'tr'         => array(
			'align'    => true,
			'valign'   => true,
		)
	);
}

you might just delete all of the code specified for the a tag too and you will be fine

delete

// Links
		'a'          => array(
			'class'    => false,
			'href'     => false,
			'title'    => false,
			'rel'      => false,
			'class'    => false,
			'target'    => false,
		),

well you can check out this topic and maybe it will help

How to change Admin Reply

when schmoos code has .user-id-1 well thats the id of the user

go to user>all users search for all your sites keymasters.

then click edit by each users avatar

after that you are in the edit profile page for that particular user and in the url it says user_id=(number)

get all the user id numbers and then you can stack them using commas in a css code like this

.type-reply.user-id-1,.type-reply.user-id-2,.type-reply.user-id-3 { background: yellow; }
