Hello again!

I read a lot about create new forum roles with capabilities. I’ve found a solution with some hardcoding functions.php file:

Add forum roles

But, is there a plugin to do the same much clearer? I need to add some new roles and edit his capabilities.

I’m using “user role editor” but this plugin only changes WordPress roles, not bbpress.

Thank you so much for all your help. 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

One more thing, when making a custom importer always base it of the Example.php importer, I keep that updated with examples and any other changes I make for bbPress.

The latest (updated 3 days ago) is here:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/includes/admin/converters/Example.php

As Robin points out, you just delete/remove the sections or fields that are not applicable to your import e.g. ‘tags’ or if your database doesn’t include the ‘counts’ for topics in forums then remove that part in the forum section.

Nevermind ill just remove the breadcrumbs from bbpress pages and style the bbpress breadcrumbs to be like my yoast ones

ok, the answer is somewhere in this function

a filter such as

should sort it but doesn’t, and I’m too tired to work out why 🙂

Over to you !

Hi Guys,

Or how you solve this? a wysiwyg editor with image upload which is not uploaded in a public media box for bbpress users?

[Robkk]

on my site i have yoast breadcrumbs

and everything is looking fine setting it up

until i see that when im on any topic, it shows this

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Ue9ryY5cmYRE8xQl9QUVhvUm8/edit?usp=sharing

Shouldnt it be

Home | topics | test topic 3

or

Home | test forum | topics | test topic 3

[Robin W]

hmm, I’d check for a conflict first

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

Then I’d re-download the software in case this was an issue

come back if that doesn’t work

[Robin W]

I think I understand

go into dashboard>settings>forums and change the slugs for forum root and single forum root. that will change the url

If you want to change the breadcrumb, then see

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

you can also set

‘home_text’ , ‘root_text’ and ‘current_text’

using this code

If that’s not what you are after – come back !

[Robin W]

@gianjj – thanks for adding this – very helpful, and please continue to update us !

I forget that it was only 13 months ago that I started using bbPress – seems like years now !

[Robin W]

@nirgalo

Thanks for your comments, I have not been ignoring you, I have been running a training course all today.

It’s great that you plan to improve an existing plugin, this is exactly what community software is all about, and I really hope that you will share it when done to help others :-).

I would hasten to add I have nothing to do with bbPress, I just help out on the forum, and have written a few bbPress plugins, so views are my own!

There’s lots I’d like to see in a core bbPress or as well maintained plugins, but someone has to write the stuff, and as it’s free no-one gets paid to do so. Where there is perceived demand, then hopefully the core guys will add it.

Read/unread is a popular feature on many forums, I don’t use it on my own as it’s not relevant, but I do take advantage of other forum sites that do, and you could easily argue that it should be core, but then of course it would only be the way that the bbPress guys want it to work, which could be either of the plugins that you don’t like !

Of course ones person’s standard is another’s stifling of innovation, and that community software can grow organically is both an argument for it, and an annoyance with it 🙂

Anyway, I would love to see a read/unread plugin along the lines you propose, so if you’re the man to code it, and then share with us, you’ll be very welcome here ! necessity is the mother of invention.

@blankstage – hey thanks for your comments- they cheered me up after a long day !

[Bard]

Can someone tell me is there a plugin doing this now?(This has been asked over 6 years)

I have tried lots of plugins but no one does exactly what I need,
1) An easy WYSIWYG editor in bbpress for normal users(frontend).
2) With an image “upload” feature, but is not working like an attachment like “GD bbPress Attachments”.
3) All the uploaded images will be separated by folder(user name or individual name for an user).
This is to avoid user use images from other users.
I am also happy to know the reason if this is impossible this meanwhile, like wordpress official has a consideration on it’s risks.

[JBBoY]

Thanks a lot for your response 🙂

I have seen in “Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1”

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

The way I want my forum looks like. Is this screenshot from previous versions and now there isn’t an easy way to do this ? I just want the topics (better last 4 topics of each forum) under the name of the forum wich they belong. The only solution is hardcoding? I don’t know where to start. Which file should I edit to change the forum structure? :S

Thanks a lot for all.

[JBBoY]

Thank you for your response and support. I think it was a problem between my theme and bbpress css, a pair of “!important;” in the css and everything’s solved! 🙂

[nirgalo]

@robin-w – thanks for pointing out bbPress Mark as read plugin. I have checked it but for the reason mentioned above (not using the same db keys), it is not compatible with bbPress Unread posts plugin. So what I’ll do it make a custom version of bbPress Unread posts plugin whose code is simple and easily fixable and get along with this. Again, the read/unread state of posts really needs to be standardised by bbPress to prevent these incompatibilites between plugins.

[nirgalo]

I have been looking at the implementation of two plugins so far to track the read/unread state of posts. They are both using a specific key into the post meta, meaning the posts marked as read by one plugin are not marked as read by another plugin. This is to avoid this kind of mess I would suggest bbPress contributors to add at least a standard field to mark a post as read by a given user.

[nirgalo]

@robin-w – right, but for every feature there is into bbPress, the same question probably arises : “is this a feature to put into bbPress or implement as a plugin?”. The status of unread posts is quite a common feature and the question is legitimate for this in my opinion.

[Robin W]

The bbPress philosophy is :

‘We’re keeping things as small and light as possible while still allowing for great add-on features through WordPress’s extensive plugin system. What does all that mean? bbPress is lean, mean, and ready to take on any job you throw at it.’

see

About

There are literally hundreds of bits that could be added, which some/many/all forums either need or don’t need !

Plugins are written by the community to add features to bbPress, and maintained where the author is both able and willing.

Remember all this software is free, and relies on volunteers to make it all work – it takes many hours to write and as long to maintain a good plugin.

You could try ‘mark as read’ as a possible solution.

[nirgalo]

Hi, I would like the unread posts for a given user to display distinctively so the user quickly knows what to read. Also I would like threads which have new replies to also display distinctively. Not necessarily through colors, maybe using icons.
There is a plugin bbPress Unread Posts doing close to what I am looking for, but it is not maintained anymore. Why such a basic feature needs to be done through a plugin and is not part of the bbPress stock features? Any idea of other plugins or custom code I can use?

Thanks!

‘I have some forums that only serves as main forum for sub-forums’

Try setting them as categories rather than forums – on the edit forum page you will see the option on the right hand side

‘It would also be nice if members could comment on a post, but not create new topics.’

You can create a custom role to do this – see

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

If you are not very good at code, come back and I will try to help further

[Robin W]

ok, on your breadcrumb issue see

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

On your weird forums page, given that it says “continue reading” I suspect that your theme is treating this as a post, and just giving what it thinks is an ‘excerpt’.

I’d suggest you next try setting up a page called ‘forums’ and using [bbp-forum-index] to get it to render. ie

Hi,

It’s easiest to show a visual of what’s going on, but when you click on “Forums” in the breadcrumb, you get a page showing a search of some sort, with no data…this is a fresh forum with some dummy threads, but not much else. Is this supposed to be what’s showing up? How do I fix or override.

Also, there’s no spacing between the words in the breadcrumb, how do I make this better looking? I’ve already tried using a plugin to change the word “Home” to a – because I don’t want a home link, but the plugin didn’t help in terms of spacing.

Using the latest version of BBpress and WP.

Hi

I’m at the part of my coming website, where i need to fit bbPress layout to my needs.

It’s a dating/friending site where i use Sweet Date theme, which uses Buddypress for members and bbPress for forums.

As per default bbPress posts status’s at the top and bottom of every forum. I have some forums that only serves as main forum for sub-forums, and therefore in these i don’t want/need the notifications, that there no forums/topics in this forum.

How is this done the right way, and if, what files do i need to copy and edit to make it work ?

It would also be nice if members could comment on a post, but not create new topics.

I tried using the page.php template, but it uses different styling, so the text is another font and weight, i need the bbPress layout 🙂

EDIT: Forgot that i need to be able to have right sidebar on the pages as well.

All the best
Carsten

Hi,

Is there a way so that bbPress can auto-migrate (as a scheduled job) using some sort of web service provided from Drupal? Is it possible?

Thanks,

[NikolajR]

Hi,

I have seen that in some of the topics in my forum. The usernames on the posts moves out of position. I think it’s because they move to the right, but i’m not sure about it.

Topic where the problem is: [url]http://danskyt.net/forums/topic/nyt-grafikkort/[/url]
