ok, just posting for anyone searching in future

THIS IS A WORKING VERSION

This code allows a standard gravity form lets it be saved as a gravity forum, but on saving also creates a new topic form for a specific forum

add_action( 'gform_after_submission', 'set_post_content', 10, 2 );

function set_post_content( $entry, $form ) {
	//set the forum ID that the topic will be saved to
	$forum_ID = '31086' ;
	
	if (!function_exists('bbp_insert_topic')) {
            require_once '/includes/topics/functions.php';
        }
		
		//getting post
		$post_form = get_post($entry['post_id']) ;
		$title = $post_form->post_title;
		$content = $post_form->post_content;

        // The topic data.
        $topic_data = array(
        'post_parent'       => $forum_ID, // forum ID of Projects  hard coded
        'post_status'       => bbp_get_public_status_id(),   // Subscribed users can see this
        'post_content'      => $content,
        'post_title'        => $title,
        'comment_status'    => 'open',
        'menu_order'        => 0
        );

        // The topic meta.
        $topic_meta = array(
        'forum_id'    =>  $forum_ID,
        'reply_count' => 0
		);

        $post_id = bbp_insert_topic($topic_data, $topic_meta);
           
}

@jkw217 if you can confirm my post above – ie

can you confirm that

“5 random reply posts that arent working:
– all have ‘0’ for post_parent.
– all have a postmeta _bbp_topic_id #

I need to know that you

a) have EXACTLY the same problem and
b) have the postmeta as above

then I can give you some code

Hi again
I tried the forum-class, but it only added “text” to my forum see http://prntscr.com/i9yywx.
I have added the abpve CSS code to my theme.

Its this tag-cloud widget http://prntscr.com/i9z0m6 that I would like to show above the “forum title, if possible.

Is there something Im missing here?

[Robin W]

or you could link to the ‘forum’ class as it is just before the title

eg

.forum::before { 
     content: "Read this: ";
} 

[Robin W]

As it’s above the title, then it’s before bbpress kicks in.

you could try

if (is_bbpress) {
echo 'hello' ;
}

but may not work

Or try to add something to your theme page.php or equivalent before the title
Something like (this won’t work it’s just to start you off!)

$array = (2925, 3567,4567) ;
if (in_array ($page_id, $array)) {
echo 'hello' ;
}

where 2925 etc are forum ID’s

[Robin W]

try this

a.bbp-reply-permalink {
display : none !important;
}

[keshabee]

sorry but the style code did not work.
what i want to hide is those things post numbers like #456, #4654

hope to hear from you soon, Thank you

[Robin W]

put this in your custom css area

.bbp-reply-permalink {
display : none ;
}

[Robin W]

when they first log on they are allocated the default role that you set in dashboard>settings>forums.

you can use the bbpress logon widget in a sidebar, use the shortcode [bbp-login] on a page or post, use any wordpress logion plugin or technique, or add a login to your menu using

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

[Robin W]

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-single-forum.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-single-forum.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

so change line 26 from

<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>

to

<?php if (bbp_get_single_forum_description != 'This forum is empty.') bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>

[Robin W]

This is not as easy as I thought.

As a widget it can be shortcoded, but the version I currently have does need to do the calculation each time, which on a site with lots of forums and users could make the site slow.

Whereabouts on the site were you thinking of – eg in sidebar, at top of each forum, within the forum list etc.

[Robin W]

hmm…

not sure what to suggest next.

I could code a quick ‘close topic’ shortcode, but that would be beyond free – contact me via my website if interested

http://www.rewweb.co.uk

[Robin W]

bis bold
I is italic
B-quote puts a wordpress block around the text – exactly what is set by your theme
Del – is delete quotes
img is an image
ul is an unordered list
ol is an ordered list
li is a list item
code is code – stops the display from executing, just displays it
close tags – closes all open tags

[Robin W]

that should work, but the code is not showing up in the browser, so it is not getting loaded.

[Robin W]

where are you putting this code ?

[Robin W]

don’t know what is happening

I’ve just looked at the core close topic code, and it just changes post_status to closed, although it goes via a whole bunch of code in a topic hander function which I haven’t been through line by line.

Suggest you try just changing the status directly in the db, and see if that fixes. You can always change it back !

[Robin W]

try

input[type=”text”] {
width: 50% !important;
}
.bbp-login-form .bbp-password input {
width: 50% !important;
}

[Robin W]

having a button at the top which goes to the form at the bottom can be achieved by

bbp style pack

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>buttons

Having the from hidden is quite possible, but I don’t know of any already written code to do that

[urphy73]

Hello everybody

How can I delete or hide the “Create a new topic” form and replace it by a button ?

The button will open or dropdown the “new topic for”m

Do you know a plugin or a bit of code to do that properly ?

Thanks in advance

[Robin W]

great

than add this

//This function changes the text wherever it is quoted
function rew_change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
	if ( $translated_text == 'This forum is empty.' ) {
	$translated_text = 'new text';
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'rew_change_translate_text', 20 );

Instead of ‘This forum is empty.’ you will get ‘new text’, so just change new text to what you want

eg change the line

$translated_text = 'new text';

to

$translated_text = 'Categories listed below';

– if you want it blank then have that line say

$translated_text = '';

Hi Robin,

In functions.php? I do know how to enter code there, via ftp or cPanel. I just don’t know what code to enter to solve for this. 🙂

Chris

[Robin W]

Nothing I know of to do that – it could be coded but beyond free help.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi @process_of_illumination ,
I see you have found the functions that you need.

Try to avoid adding 5 functions if you can do it in 1, so at least change it to:

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa_add_noindex' );
function casiepa_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_favorites() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
  if ( bbp_is_topic_tag() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_replies() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_profile() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
  if ( bbp_is_single_user_topics() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

Of course the shortest way would be:

add_action( 'wp_head', 'casiepa_add_noindex' );
function casiepa_add_noindex() {
  if ( bbp_is_favorites() || bbp_is_topic_tag() || bbp_is_single_user_replies() || bbp_is_single_user_profile() || bbp_is_single_user_topics() ) {
    wp_no_robots();
  }
}

Thanks very much Robin, great plugin and look forward to your future updates.

One of the reasons we are hoping to show how many subscribers each forum has is to help market the popularity to entice more subscribers. It would be great to have the option to add the shortcode in the main forum page.

Thanks very much!
