I’m not frustrated, though I fully understand where you are coming from 😉

It is as simple as (to me at least) that bbPress does NOT include ANY support for uploading attachments, this includes any role or capability to facilitate that.

That said, there is the plugin “GD bbPress attachments” that adds support to bbPress to upload attachments, how it does this and what changes it makes to either bbPress or WordPress roles and capabilities I do not know, as I stated above I have not looked closely at it (i.e. I have not looked at the source code to see how it works)

If you want attachments in bbPress that is the ONLY solution I know of. 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

I am still hopeful this will be included as part of bbPress 2.6, with some luck I’ll get to implementing this next week 🙂

on registration, you will need to have auto-registration completed in

dashboard>settings>general and under membership check the anyone can register tab

you’ll then find register is added to the login boxes, and you can add ‘/wp-login.php?action=register’ to the login widget

on your breadcrumb issue see

We have a small forum that’s always worked really well with BBPress. Recently we changed the theme to Montezuma.

Everything works pretty well, but we have a small problem: email notification e-mails take us to replies that just small summaries and stranded from the topic.

For example, this reply: http://www.dexterindustries.com/forum/?reply=2027
Is stranded from the parent topic: http://www.dexterindustries.com/forum/?topic=install-sh-error

Does anyone have any idea on how to correct this with the montezuma theme?

[Robin W]

Thanks for that, it lets me know that there are two of you with the issue (so far – there will be more!)

When does the error occur – as soon as you enter the website, when you enter the forums or some other action?

Can you also tell me

What versions of
Bbpress
Wordpress

You are using

And what theme

And what plugins.

[ajshanahan]

Ok sorry @netweb I sense I might be frustrating you with my ignorance (I’m feeling it too!) let me re-phrase my issue:

how do I change the capability of a Participant to allow it to upload media?

Alternatively, how do I add a new user type into the BBPress environment (as shown here – http://screencast.com/t/raxzzyIuSL)

If you can answer either of those issues I can almost guarantee I’ll not bother you again 🙂

[greenhoe]

Thank you, I didn’t think I could do that because the plugin has all the Template Parts in the bbpress folder and the actual custom post type themes in the extra folder, so can I move the template parts out of the bbpress folder into a new one too? That way I can keep those separate?

[Micheal]

I also presume you still have all your plugins except bbPress deactivated? YES, I turn them off when trying everything.

Also what theme is it you are using? http://themeforest.net/item/enfold-responsive-multipurpose-theme/4519990?ref=Kriesi

Have you any custom code in a functions.php file running? NO

[Micheal]

Are you not seeing your topics or replies in each section?

Refer to my screen shots before to make sure I am not getting confused to what you are asking here.

For the one I referenced the participant did this:
Forum(General Questions)>Topic(Payout)>

When they go there they see the response to what they entered earlier but they don’t see what they posted earlier.

What is odd though is when I go to the same page I see her original post and my response to her question. She doesn’t see that though, she just sees my response.

This is what she sees as a Participant:

This is what I see as Admin:

[Stephen Edgar]

Indeed bbPress does this too 🙂

Quick answer, copy the templates you need into your theme folder under /bbpress

I’ve got nothing else at the moment…

Let me think on it for a bit…

I also presume you still have all your plugins except bbPress deactivated?

Also what theme is it you are using?

Have you any custom code in a functions.php file running?

[Micheal]

This statement here confuses me… You should see Forums, Topics, and Replies sections like I have in my previous screenshot. All the ‘posts’ should show here, you only see the title of the post and not the full content until you open it with the ‘edit’ row action (mouse over a title).

Are you not seeing your topics or replies in each section?

YES, I do.

Here is Topics screen shot.

Hi,

I have a custom wordpress theme which I also use a child theme and I know to edit and customize the buddypress theme you need to place the files such as archive-forum.php in your child theme folder or main theme folder.

I was wondering is it possible to have a folder for all the bbpress main theme components so that they don’t clutter up my main child theme?

In the plugin all the main theme files are stored in a folder called extra, I would like to be able to have a folder called extra in my child theme and have worpdress recognize all the bbpress theme files.

[Stephen Edgar]

– Do you have ‘Auto Role’ checked and what role is it set to? (Dashboard -> Settings -> bbPress)

[Micheal]

The first image shows the forums.

This image shows the topic “Payout” previously entered by the participant.

This image shows the response but not the original entry.

These images screen shots taken from the participant being logged in.

When the participant tries to look at any other topic they don’t see what has been posted, they only see the one that Micheal replied to (just not there post that was being replied to).

—–

Here is what Micheal sees when he is logged in:

As you can see in this image Micheal can see the original post and his own.

—–

When Micheal is logged in he can see his own posts but when the participant tries to look at the same post they don’t see anything Micheal has posted (except his response to their post).

Any Ideas?

Thanks.

The string Keymaster is being translated to Super Administrator(here)

If you login to http://translate.wordpress.org using your wordpress.org/bbpress.org username and password you can also suggest an updated translation and the Spanish translation team will review the translation and accept it or not.

The first link above is for the ‘development’ version of bbPress, upcoming 2.6 release, you should also suggest any translation updates for the current bbPress v2.5 here.

Once you have done the above you should let the Spanish translation team know:

Contacto

[Stephen Edgar]

Sorry, but I don’t see how any of the above is a bbPress issue, all of your issues above are from plugin/s not doing something that you expect the plugin to do, these are all issues you should raise with the plugin author/s.

Hi;
After updating the BBP private groups plugin this morning, I lost my forum. This is the message on the page:
Warning: array_merge(): Argument #2 is not an array in /home/xxxx/public_html/xxxx/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1344

If I deactivate the plugin, the forum shows up.

Is there a fix for this? As most here, fairly new to WP & bbPress.
BTW – excellent tutorials.

Thank you.

Hi Robin

Thank you for the functions code you provided to create a custom role. I’ve implemented this and can see it and change the user to the new role – however it doesn’t save it so if i navigate away from the user page and go back it hasn’t kept the role it just defaults back to nothing until i post and then it puts me on participant (which I have enabled to set automatically for new posters). Would you know why that is happening?

My initial setup was a template file called forum.php which bbpress automatically picked up as my forum page – I didn’t use override of existing bbpress templates within my theme, however when I made the bbpress-functions.php in my theme folder it made the forum stop using the bbpress styles (not sure why) – so i tried adding the overrides for bbpress in my theme folder and that made it not render any html at all just blank body – I’ve ended up copying the stylesheet to my theme folder and naming it something else.

I’m looking for a user role half way between a participant and a moderator (I’ve called it a Junior Moderator) where they can moderate and flag things and get in touch with users who flagged inappropriate posts and inform them of the actions as well as receive emails or notifications from users flagging the inappropriate content- but they can’t delete or edit other people’s topics, replies and can’t delete forums or add new ones.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

[Robin W]

WHat can i do?

you could post a link to a page that works 🙂 I just get ‘this page cannot be displayed’

But also have you read

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

[itisix]

I’ve been using wordpress for about 6 months now and I’m using the “luminescent lite” theme. I now decided it was time to move my old phpbb board over to bbpress and I’m struggling a bit with the design. So:

1 – The theme is universal, so not much chance to change much without hard coding or a new theme

2 – I use categories and forums and it’s messy. I get:

Category
Forum nº 1 (14,54) Forum nº 2 /1,445 4,754)

Can I add a paragraph for each forum or even not show the forums at all (they would open on a click on the category).

3 – No “unread topics” display (icon/different colour)

Not all is bad. I’m using buddypress and I’m loving it. BBpress ported quite well from phpbb3 and I lost no data at all (except PM’s). Even BBcode is looking good. My users are giving me a hard time, but they are just idiots anyway… lol

[ajshanahan]

Hi @netweb thanks again but I don’t think I’m explaining myself – the add media button is working fine – what ISN’T working is the ability to let participants Upload Files.

I’ve added a role manager plugin which claims to have added this for Participants but it’s not “taking”. If I change a user to Moderator then it works no problem – my feeling is that this is purely to do with amending bbpress user capabilities – that’s where I’m stuck.

Any ideas on that one?

[Stephen Edgar]

I haven’t looked closely at the GD bbPress Attachments plugin (And never at GD bbPress Toolbox) though I was presuming that GD bbPress Toolbox included the same/similar/enhanced version of GD bbPress Attachments which I believe does allow participants to upload attachments.

So, can you use (and/or ask @gdragon) if running both plugins side by side is the best solution.

I need to know where to get the Registration URL?
Seems to me that WordPress would make that one of the more obvious and prominent links on the page. I haven’t figured out where it is. I need it to complete the bbPress Login Widget configuration.

Also

As you can see this is what my menu looks like now.

How do I make it look like this?

I got the Forums link in the menu to work. Now how can I remove the totally redundant Forums labels beneath the main menu?

Thank you for you help.

And then you also need to make it so that every user has a private album instead of all members seeing all media.

I have been trying this for a while and have issues making it true inline images.

Now I use the attachment plugin together with bp-album, bp-album allows members to create private albums for media, and it will post those images to the activity pages.

Here is a link to the forum I am building right now.
Inline images for activity

This comes closest to what you need, I have also tried RTMedia plugin but that causes much problems and makes sites run slow, not too mention the errors from the W3C validator.

I do hope that BBPress will add a good image uploader soon.

P.H.
