Hello all, I am currently setting up a website for my classroom (school starts in a month). I would LOVE to set up a class forum for each class. If you look at my site (http://www.blackboarddreams.com) you will see that I have forum links under my sophomore and human condition classes. I can post with no problems! But a couple of issues beyond that:
1. I see in “menus” there is a bbpress sidebar. I have no idea how to actually make that show up on my webpage (ideally homepage).
2. Giving up on the above, I can post the bbpress login widget (currently have it in a footer). Yet, when I logout and simply visit my page, upon clicking the register link I am taken to the wordpress login page with the following in red: “User registration is currently not allowed.” How can I allow registration? Further, this registration is simply to allow my students to access the forum, correct?
Thank you so much!

Hello everyone I’m new in the forum and I do not speak English well, I hope you understand what it means, I speak Italian. I wanted to ask if it was possible to hide the plugin bbPress forum categories to unregistered users. I also needed to know if it was possible to make sure that if a user opens a discussion in the category (example doctor) the email notification arrives only to the doctor. Another example if a user opens a discussion administrator can ‘to get the notification only to administrators (example admin@namesite.it)

I am using this version, but it’s not working with bbPress v1.1

Has someone a clue?

$text = preg_replace('|<a (.+?)>|i', '<a $1 target="_blank">', $text);

return $text;

I’m having the same problem, see

I’m having the same problem as kiagua and Andy Smith
WordPress 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2

exactly the same error message, referencing line 1199. Interestingly the warning shows up twice.

Anyway, here’s the whole function which contains that line:`/**
* Adds ability to include or exclude specific post_parent ID’s
*
* @since bbPress (r2996)
*
* @global DB $wpdb
* @global WP $wp
* @param string $where
* @param WP_Query $object
* @return string
*/
function bbp_query_post_parent__in( $where, $object = ” ) {
global $wpdb, $wp;

// Noop if WP core supports this already
if ( in_array( ‘post_parent__in’, $wp->private_query_vars ) )
return $where;

// Bail if no object passed
if ( empty( $object ) )
return $where;

// Only 1 post_parent so return $where
if ( is_numeric( $object->query_vars[‘post_parent’] ) )
return $where;

// Including specific post_parent’s
if ( ! empty( $object->query_vars[‘post_parent__in’] ) ) {
$ids = implode( ‘,’, array_map( ‘absint’, $object->query_vars[‘post_parent__in’] ) );
$where .= ” AND $wpdb->posts.post_parent IN ($ids)”;

// Excluding specific post_parent’s
} elseif ( ! empty( $object->query_vars[‘post_parent__not_in’] ) ) {
$ids = implode( ‘,’, array_map( ‘absint’, $object->query_vars[‘post_parent__not_in’] ) );
$where .= ” AND $wpdb->posts.post_parent NOT IN ($ids)”;
}

// Return possibly modified $where
return $where;
}`

line 1199:`
if ( in_array( ‘post_parent__in’, $wp->private_query_vars ) )
return $where;`

This might sound like a wild hack in the dark but I thought I’d have a go at simply making the second parameter an array, like so:

// Noop if WP core supports this already
	if ( in_array( 'post_parent__in', array($wp->private_query_vars) ) )
		return $where;

and much to my surprise this seems to have solved the problem in as much as the error warning is gone and as far as I can tell so far, the two (private) fora I have set up seem to be running as normal.

Hi,

I was hoping that someone could tell me if there is there a way to display a list of child forums for specific parent using a shortcode?

For example, I have a number of private member forums that visitors need to login to view. I want to have a page that they visit to logon with the list of private forums below.

http://www.blueclouditsolutions.com/asap/
Wordpress version: 3.6
bbpress version: 2.3.2

Thanks for your help.

Steve.

I would like some help on how to improve the pagination for my bbPress forum. At the moment, on the latest posts on my forum, it goes:

1 2 …. 1963 ->

Which is not entirely useful if you want to skip to page 3 straight away. Really, the numbers are not very useful since you can only skip one ahead.

Latest

No, it’s still doing it, no response from bbpress.

Hi there

I am building a gaming community page and would like to setup an application form for people to apply to join.

However, to make things easier, it would be better if it was usable as a guest and, when submitted, generated a post in a private forum so that members could comment on it.

I have seen something like this being used with Xenforo, but I really want the features of bbpress and buddypress.

Does this sound like something that could be done?

[abyrd58]

I’m working with bbpress 2.3.2 on a site at http://www.dmtutor.com. For some odd reason, my font changed on the forum index page from an arial font like on all the other pages in bbpress to a new times roman. I’ve not edited any files that would affect such a change. What file controls the font on that page?

Thanks,
Alan

I downloaded a trial of Social Engine and I have now set it up to test with…

I am using Social Engine v4.6.0, what version do you have/using???

I may have missed it but I was unable to select a table prefix for the MySQL database during install so all the Social Engine v4.6.0 database tables all have a common prefix of ‘engine4_’ and here is a pic of the MySQL DB structure for the forum tables.

With your importer I noticed that with your ‘from_tablename’ for each section you are using multiple table names in each section. eg. In the ‘forum section’ you have used ‘se_forums’, ‘se_forumtopics’ & ‘forum’ for ‘from_tablename’, you can really only use a single database table for each section unless you have a valid set of ‘join_tablename’, ‘join_type’ & ‘join_expression’.

In my updated import script that I will link to below I used ‘forum_forums’ for each field in the ‘forum section’ and on the bbPress import screen I used a table prefix of ‘engine4’ thus the query during import will use all the forum info from the ‘engine4_forum_forums’ database table as per my image above.

I started with the copy of your import script you linked to which was a great help in getting up and running quickly and I have updated it with as many fields as I can find and things ‘appear’ to be working quite well at my end though some more testing is still needed.

Anyway, you can take a look at the update I did which also brings some code tweaks and formatting inline with the other bbPress Importers.

As long as you are using Social Engine v4.6.0 I think this should help a great deal, if your using an old v3 version we will have to see if I can get my hands on a copy of that.

One more thing… What about users? Do you need tom convert/import them???
(I will end up adding the user import to this for when others need to)

Without further ado…. Check it out here:
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/cefe6fe20b1a652a50fc
(It still needs a few more tweaks and checks, but it is close)

Hi,

I’m getting this same error ..

Wordpress 3.6

Thanks for putting so much work into this, Stephen!

I’m really hoping to move everything from SMF to bbPress soon with the launch of a new WordPress site. Let me know how I can help, whether it be testing or anything else. Eagerly awaiting for the rest of the forum aspects to work in your import 🙂

With lots of appreciation,
Ryan

The installation instructions end by saing edit your themes css and make it look pretty. But how?

I want the forum part of my WP blog site to look the same font-wise. I am using the latest WP and Responsive theme and latest bbPress.

I’m interested in integrating bbPress to my WooTheme’s Sensei installation.
Basically, I need every course to have it’s own and separated topic.
To that topic all students enrolled to the course need to be assigned.
Only students assigned to a topic may post within the topic and, ideally, with a limited number of postings.

I could not find any help within Sensei or bbPress regarding the solution to my need.
I believe it will be needed to develop some kind of integration layer for what I’m willing to pay for (as long as it is not a big amount of money).

Please, would anyone help me find out a solution for my need?

PS.: There are several others whith the same need who expressed interest in a similar solution within Sensei ideas page.

If ‘PHP-fusion’ uses a MySQL database you should be able to modify the included ‘Example.php’ import script.

You can take a stab at modifying the included ‘Example.php’ included with bbPress to try importing your forums just as @vogelsang did for importing from Drupal. There are some basic instructions here on creating your own custom imports for bbPress.
