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

[hsappleton]

Hi all
i already created a forum(I was given a shortcode but i lost it) in any case i do not know how to use it to put a forum link on my home page. Help please!

[Robin W]

by the way, the first bit of code saves the changes to the database, so just removing the code does not remove the capability.

to undo this, you would need to re-run the first function, but with all the add_cap changed to 'remove_cap'

[Robin W]

editing users is a wordpress rather than bbpress function

It may well be possible, but the easier way would be to use a wordpress role to do this.

This link will give you code to make the ‘editor’ role able to do user stuff, and you may want to hide admins as per their suggestions

Let Editor Manage Users in WordPress

so you would just set your moderators to be editor as well as moderator

[a7xfanben]

I will need to spend long periods of time away from my site and bbpress forum, and want the Moderators to have the ability to delete users that are clearly just there to spam. I want them to have more than blocking capability and the ability to delete posts and topics.

I have not found much on this topic through searching. I am willing to implement some specific code. If there is something I can edit with Buddypress to allow this, please let me know. However, I don’t want to make the moderators Keymasters – I only want them to have authority over the forums and who uses them.

I would rather use code than a plugin. Not sure if it is simple as adding a line to the bbpress moderator capabilities that allows them to essentially ban Buddypress users.

Back to square one. I have tried everything I can think of. I have looked at several articles here, copied and pasted lots of CSS codes, tried everything I can think ok. Need some help please. Thank you.

[splintercell]

here you go – http://www.livingdipfree.com

I did plug in a CSS code and it got better – not fixed, but better.

[Robin W]

thanks for the update

essentially that part of the code is looking at urls, so that would make some sense

it is this code returning ‘false’ that causes the error you see

function bbp_verify_nonce_request( $action = '', $query_arg = '_wpnonce' ) {

	/** Home URL **************************************************************/

	// Parse home_url() into pieces to remove query-strings, strange characters,
	// and other funny things that plugins might to do to it.
	$parsed_home = parse_url( home_url( '/', ( is_ssl() ? 'https' : 'http' ) ) );

	// Maybe include the port, if it's included
	if ( isset( $parsed_home['port'] ) ) {
		$parsed_host = $parsed_home['host'] . ':' . $parsed_home['port'];
	} else {
		$parsed_host = $parsed_home['host'];
	}

	// Set the home URL for use in comparisons
	$home_url = trim( strtolower( $parsed_home['scheme'] . '://' . $parsed_host . $parsed_home['path'] ), '/' );

	/** Requested URL *********************************************************/

	// Maybe include the port, if it's included in home_url()
	if ( isset( $parsed_home['port'] ) ) {
		$request_host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . ':' . $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'];
	} else {
		$request_host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
	}

	// Build the currently requested URL
	$scheme        = is_ssl() ? 'https://' : 'http://';
	$requested_url = strtolower( $scheme . $request_host . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );

	/** Look for match ********************************************************/

	// Filter the requested URL, for configurations like reverse proxying
	$matched_url = apply_filters( 'bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', $requested_url );

	// Check the nonce
	$result = isset( $_REQUEST[$query_arg] ) ? wp_verify_nonce( $_REQUEST[$query_arg], $action ) : false;

	// Nonce check failed
	if ( empty( $result ) || empty( $action ) || ( strpos( $matched_url, $home_url ) !== 0 ) ) {
		$result = false;
	}

	// Do extra things
	do_action( 'bbp_verify_nonce_request', $action, $result );

	return $result;
}

perhaps I over thought this. I tried this below

$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename'  => 'messagebodies',
			'from_fieldname'  => 'msgid',
			'join_tablename'  => 'messages',
			'join_type'       => 'LEFT',
			'join_expression' => 'USING messagebodies.msgid = messages.msgid AND messagebodies.forumid = messages.forumid',
			'from_expression' => 'WHERE messages.msgid = 0',
			'to_type'         => 'topic'

however I cannot know if this is proper because I am getting an error that seems to point to the base converter logic for “topic” the to_type here of topic should refer to the destination table right?

[xprojectsx]

I’m setting up the importer using the example but I’m a little stuck doing the joins. This is a little advanced for me because it seems to me that I need to join 3 tables and a total of 3 fields to match from the origin forum which has each post separated in two separate tables and those tables reference the forumID in a third table.

so the example code for topics is:
`// Setup any table joins needed for the topic section
$this->field_map[] = array(
‘from_tablename’ => ‘replies_table’,
‘from_fieldname’ => ‘the_topic_id’,
‘join_tablename’ => ‘topics_table’,
‘join_type’ => ‘INNER’,
‘join_expression’ => ‘USING replies_table.the_topic_id = topics_table.the_topic_id’,
‘from_expression’ => ‘WHERE forums_table.the_topic_id = 0’,
‘to_type’ => ‘topic’
);`
in my source forum tables that are being imported from, it is broken down into four tables:
forums.forumid, forums.categoryid
categories.categoryid
messages.msgid, messages.forumid, messages.threadid, messages.subject
messagebodies.msgid, messagebodies.forumid, messagebodies.bodytext

I believe that I can ignore the category to get what is needed but that is still three tables. the threadID is sequential and relative to each forum so there is a thread 1 in forum1 and and thread1 in forum2 and all other forums. So the forum ID has to be referenced in the third table (forums)

I am thinking this is a “LEFT” with and conditions is that right? can someone get me started with an example? Thank you.

Hi there,

I’m a fresh out of water BBPress user and I have never coded in my life 🙂

We have just set up a BBPress forum on our WordPress website and we are looking into changing what is displayed in the profile section. At the moment it’s Forum Role, Topics Started and Replies Created.
I would like to create custom fields like Company, Job Title, Area, Email, Phone Number and Website to be displayed there.

First of all, I would need to add these sections in Profile Edit tab. Secondly, find a way to display them on the Profile page.

I have to mention, I have found a way to remove Forum Role, Topics Started and Replies Created by editing plugin file bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-profile.php

Also, I have just noticed that when you visit somebody’s profile page, his name is not displayed there, which would be something i would like to be displayed as well 🙂

Have anyone managed to do things mentioned above, and would be willing to share with the class? 🙂

Many thanks,
Dominik

I am using the bbpress [forum] plugin.
I do not want to use it in its default state. I want to have it maintain my site’s design.
According to what I have read [HERE; https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/ ]

to do so requires me to copy both the bbpress and the css directories
from the default folder and paste it or upload
it into the ‘theme’ directory/ folder.

Thing is I am not quite sure if I ought to paste them [ bbpress & css directories] into the wp-config.php folder
& if so where [in the wp-config.php folder] ? Is it Before or after the present info I see there now?

[Robin W]

Try this :

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

/This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'Publicaciones' ) {
	$translated_text = 'Mensajes';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

If that doesn’t work try

/This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'Posts' ) {
	$translated_text = 'Mensajes';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

Hey Robin, I was just looking around to try to fix all the weirdness with my bbPress (still have no idea why there are so many issues with it!) and found this: https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/configuring-bbpress/creating-content/

“Sticky – Posts will stick to top of the Forum which it is in.

Super Sticky – Posts will stick to the top of all Forums.”

This is a “Super Sticky” post — it sounds like it is supposed to stick the top of all forums, but it’s not here. Am I misunderstanding?

Thanks!

Hi

I have the shortcode for forums list on a page: website.com/forum/

BUT, when i click a specific forum, it redirect to that forum page: website.com/forum/forum-name.

The base forum page is beautifully designed, so i want all permalink to also follow this design, or have these link open on the same page. How can this be done?

Currently it redirect to that topic or forum page with no design and basic white background.

PLEASE HELP!

[Robin W]

ok, this should do that

li.bbp-forum-topic-count {
	display: none !important;
}

[Robin W]

Put this in your child theme’s function file – or use

Code Snippets

/This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'old text' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}

and change ‘old text’ to what you want to change, and ‘new text’ to what you want it changed to

[Robin W]

put this is the custom css area of your theme

#left-area ul li ul {
padding: 2px 0 2px 0px !important;
}

[Robin W]

put this in the custom css of your theme

li.bbp-topic-voice-count {
    display: none !important;
}

[miguelm3]

Your change worked for me last week. Thanks for that!
Only changing the line 18 reply.js
reply.parentNode.appendChild(respond, reply);

I don’t know if there is a side effect on this but I think it’s not because for a week is working.

I’m using the version 2.5.14. I didn’t try to deactivate all my plugins to see if there’s a conflict.

I am attempting to convert my message board to bbPress, but have run into a problem trying to convert the database. I get the following errors:

Repair any missing information: Continue

No users to convert

Starting Conversion

There are two problems I see. One is that it’s having trouble converting part of it. The other is that it says there are no users to convert and there are a ton, so what do I do?

[Robin W]

too many possibilities to discuss – this is like asking how to get my car to go faster.

I’d suggest you start with your hosting company, and discuss with them.

It’s simple [bbp-single-topic id=724]
but there is not any result on the webpage.
Clicking on WP Menus->Forums at Forum-ID the number 724 is shown.
Via the hyperlink https://www.domain.com/root/forum/forum1/ the Topics are shown correctly.
—
The shortcodes [bbp-topic-index] and [bbp-stats] (without any ID) on the other hand work perfectly.
