Good evening!

There is a desire to put a “button” plugin LikeBtn (http://likebtn.com/en/) within the forum bbpress (see. Wallpapers)
What will advise?
How to find the place where to insert the code <? Php likebtn_comment (); ?>

Here’s a link to the material: http://bludagu.ru/forums/topic/%D0%B…7%D0%B0%D1%8E/

as im reading this all i can think is that bbpress better not turn into the jetpack of forum software.

it could have a bunch of features but all im going to do is just deactivate more than half of them.

and then later ILL be thinking will this slow down my site.

i think some features should really be considered if it should go into plugin territory or be part of the core.

[Robkk]

look at the bbpress default stylesheet , then look at your stargazer child themes bbpress stylesheet and see what you need.

heres some code that you might need …i dont know right all that you need

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content {
margin-left: 130px;
padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
text-align: left;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author {
float: left;
text-align: center;
width: 115px;
}

[Robkk]

only thing i can do now is i guess suggest something else ,

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/

it has font style, and font color .

but it hasnt been updated in years and adds 2-4 seconds extra loading time to your site.

it would be a great plugin still if it was updated or forked on github.

@robkk

that’s ok friend. you already been helping a lot….If you can or someone else can help with this…..
I myself trying to figure this out too

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’ => true,
‘href’ => true,
‘title’ => true,
‘rel’ => true,
‘class’ => true,
‘target’ => true,
),

// Quotes
‘blockquote’ => array(
‘cite’ => true,
),

// Span
‘span’ => array(
‘class’ => false,
),

// 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,

);
}

if its just how the replies content looks like on a topic , i guess just copy loop-single-reply.php from the bbpress plugin templates and put it into your bbpress folder in your child theme.

there might be some css from your bbpress stylesheet in your child theme that might make it look weird though.

[Jimi Wikman]

I understand that, but that just show that there are a lot of people out there that expect more from BBPress and as things progress and the options are available (and easy to find), there will be less and less whining 🙂

For me it was very strange to install something referred to as forum only to get a bulletin board and then it got annoying not finding the quick answers on how to make the bulletin board look and behave as a forum. Once BBPress get more like a forum and there are options to expand it, then you’ll see more feature requests instead of confusion and nagging 🙂

Just hang in there!

[gogitossj34]

Ok, added in !important worked.
Do you know what can help moving the avatar and name to the left and comment to the right like normal bbpress ? Or maybe just the code so that I can edit it myself.

[Jimi Wikman]

@pfswss are looking for something like http://ekatana.se/forums/ ?
If so I plan on making a blogpost on the steps needed to make that happen. Perhaps that will help you get closer to the layout that you want from BBPress?

Also, I have Buddypress on there as well and while I am not very happy about the additional css and JS that it add I think it’s worth it if you want a community and not just a bulletin board.

[Jimi Wikman]

That’s a pretty selfish way to look at the situation Robin. Just because you and many others like you want a scaled down system does not mean that BBPress should head in that direction. I am confident that the majority out there want something more than what BBPress currently represent and as far as I can see the development IS going toward a more forum-like entity rather than BBPress currently is.

I still think that you and everyone else like you should still be able to have a simple bulletin board kind of experience, but the idea that that’s all the BBPress will offer is not a path I see will go anywhere in the long run.

I understand the concept of keeping the core simple and then have modules to expand it, in fact I think that’s the correct way to move forward as that is the only way we can make everyone happy. It should be easy to find the modules needed to expand the forum from a list of topics looking like it just came from 1999 to anything from a high tech forum catering tens of thousands with all the bells and whistles to anything in between.

[Jimi Wikman]

I did not stop using IPB, I still have it on some sites. The problem with IPB is the opposite of BBPress actually and that is that is just a forum (sure they have blog and IP.Content, but they are still pretty bad).

I also do not want to work with half measures so I have to bridge two systems, I want it to be one system all tied together.

[Robkk]

I want (topic 2) and any newer one to to be above previous topic

okay bbpress already does this.

so if i comment on topic 1 or topic 2 , topic 2 will be at top until a new topic is created??

[Robkk]

okay i create a new topic called topic 1, its the only topic in my forum

if i create another one called topic 2 where do you want it to be below or above the previous topic

(bbpress has it where the newest topic is at the top, as long as no other activity has happened)

[OsamaNuman]

thanks for your keen reply ! I really appreciate it

I think that you got me wrong ‘:>
(bbpress arranges topics by latest activity) I want to change that to (published date)

thanks

[Robkk]

How can I display the published date ?

i dont know at the moment , but i know its possible , because in the backend in topics>all topics you see it shows the created date.

as for example if a post is new and another one is old, and if a comment is posted on the old one, the arrangement will change such that the old will be on the top of the newer one !!

But I think still the arrangement will be based on (last activity date) !?

yeah bbpress arranges topics by latest activity

[gogitossj34]

I cant seem to get it working, I downloaded all five php file from the trac and put them in the bbpress folder but this is still what I got : http://mmo4teen.webuda.com/forum-2/
I’m using the normal stargazer theme with default bbpress.

[Robin W]

I do hope that BBPress will eventually cater to everyone’s needs

I do hope it won’t 🙂

bbpress suits many many thousands of forum providers, by being simple and easy, which is what many want.

Complex forums with loads of features that I’ll never use is not what I’m after. There are lots of bb’s out there for those that want all signing all dancing, and just as wordpress is not for all, so is bbpress.

[pfswss]

Jimi, I was also disappointed when I installed BBPress and found it to be very unlike a forum I had known in the past. Out of the box it is too simplistic with several themes I tried it with. I just wanted a forum look but this does not seem possible unless you hire developers or are a really good coder with loads of time.

I do appreciate the effort of the developers as an open source software. unfortunately I had the wrong impression from reading reviews of several wordpress solutions as they all pointed to this one as the best. To be blunt I would not like to try the worst ones.

I have had a lot of issues, many plugins are not compatible and I still have nothing that looks remotely like a normal forum. I actually just searched to how to enable PM’s and that is when I found this post and another which says basically you need to install the Buddypress which is an overkill it seems.

I do hope that BBPress will eventually cater to everyone’s needs but sadly I think I have to look at another solution and revert back to my PHPBB forum form 2 weeks ago. Then I will consider going with IP board or Vbulletin.

Jimi, can you tell me why you stopped using IPB?

[Robkk]

if you mean like this http://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/

follow this topic https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1958

and read tharsheblows posts and take his code

or read Bob1nz and go to his pastebin links and take his

[gogitossj34]

Oh, that’s not what I mean.
By table, I mean that every forum in a category has its own table. Even using the default bbpress ( without the Stargazer Colloquium theme ), I get this:
table top
Category
-forum
-forum
table bottom

table top
category
….
table bottom

I’m getting the han of css but not really understand bbpress div ( or is it class, still confuse, I mean like bbp-something) A
and checking on w3 and google doesn’t help much. Do you now any documentation that will help ? Thanks in advance.

[OsamaNuman]

Thanks alot that worked I deleted the line :

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

really appreciate the tip and the extra tip for bbPress templates !! that’s really beneficial !! THX

[Stephen Edgar]

Currently bbPress only supports moderators and keymasters who can “close” topics.

I sort of see why you ‘may’ want to offer this functionality but I also don’t know of any forum software that does allow this.

[A.I. Sajib]

You mean replace bbpress.php file content with the archive.php content and then remove that line of code?

I will try that and will let you know if that fixes the issue. Thank you for your help!

[defcon1186]

I’ve added renamed archived.php without get_template_part('content'); like bbpress.php in my child root, and now forum page won’t load… that’s pretty weird 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

A quick look at the “Track’ theme, it looks like if you copy archive.php to bbpress.php that will resolve most of your issues. (Source: archive.php)

After you have done the above remove the following line from your bbpress.php copy:
get_template_part('content');
