where do you want that to put something – I presume in the content of a topic/reply? and what doe that shortcode do ?

[Jacob N. Breetvelt]

Thank you, this works great!

One thing left: i can not find the filter to filter forum posts/replies, so i could do:

function my_process_shortcodes($content) {
  return do_shortcodes($content);
}
add_filter( '...??...', 'my_process_shortcodes' );

@robin-w For some reason I have the same problem with the bbpress forum index. It does not work.

Here is the site link. But at the Forums level, no index.
The [bbp-forum-index] code is on the Forum created.

Any help would be great.

[Robin W]

thanks for the post

bbpress includes a version of the wordpress ‘after..parse_args’ which will let you do this so for

•File …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/template.php line 1735:
change ‘tinymce’ => false, into ‘tinymce’ => true,
•File …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/template.php line 1736:
change ‘teeny’ => true, into ‘teeny’ => false,

you could put this code into a functions file or plugin

//editor bbpress
function rew_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    $args['teeny'] = false;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'rew_enable_visual_editor' );

and the ability to filter functions so for

•File …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/template.php line 1858:
Remove array_push( $buttons, ‘image’ ); to remove the ‘standard’ image insert button that asks for a full url to an image, since we are replacing this by the [photo] shortcode generator.

use this code in your functions file or plugin

function rew_remove_image_button ($buttons) {
	if (($key = array_search('image', $buttons)) !== false) {
		unset($buttons[$key]);
	}
return $buttons ;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_teeny_mce_buttons', 'rew_remove_image_button' );

The you don’t need to alter bbpress files

Let me know if I can help further

[Jacob N. Breetvelt]

To make it possible for other plugins to add buttons to the editors toolbar, please make it possible to run the wp_editor() for posts/replies with the switches ‘tinymce’ => true and ‘teeny’ => false.

Also, make it please possible to get the posts/replies passing the ‘the_content’ or at least the ‘do_shortcode’ filter. This would enable other plugins to enter their shortcodes into the posts/replies and get them rendered in the final display of the posts/replies.

For more information why i ask this, please read this ducumentation page of the plugin wp-photo-album-plus.

ok, put it into the child theme and remove form the parent theme – that way it doesn’t get lost on updates

so you have a bbpress specific sidebar as per

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

yes ?

If so then in your new bbpress.php replace

line 49 ish

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

with

<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'bbp-sidebar'); ?>

[webgardengeek]

That was it!

So… filters need to be passed a variable which gets returned in order to function properly?

Good to know, definitely not clear in the bbpress codex.

Thanks, Robin. Means alot!

Try this

function cxr_subforum_filter($args) {
 $args = (array (
'before' => '<tr>',
'after' => '</tr>',
'link_before' => '<td>',
'link_after' => '</td>',
'separator' => '<br>',
 ));
 return $args ;
 }
add_filter( 'bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'cxr_subforum_filter' );

[webgardengeek]

Perhaps I am missing something, but your code and my code seem to be identical… nevertheless, I copied and pasted your filter into the functions.php file in the child theme and it did not work…

Same result (502) errors.

Any other ideas?

[Robin W]

This is a known bug

add this to your functions file

// Blocked users should NOT get an email to subscribed topics
function bbptoolkit_fltr_get_forum_subscribers( $user_ids ) {
        if (!empty( $user_ids ) ) {
                $new_user_ids = array();
                foreach ($user_ids as $uid) {
                        if (bbp_get_user_role($uid) != 'bbp_blocked') {
                                $new_user_ids[] = $uid;
                        }
                }
                return $new_user_ids;
        } else {
                return $user_ids;
        } 
}; 
// add the filter 
add_filter( 'bbp_forum_subscription_user_ids', 'bbptoolkit_fltr_get_forum_subscribers', 10, 1 );

[Robin W]

I’d suspect issues with the quotation – different systems seem to alter these – try making them consistent – this might work

function cxr_subforum_filter() {
 bbp_list_forums(array (
'before' => '<tr>',
'after' => '</tr>',
'link_before' => '<td>',
'link_after' => '</td>',
'separator' => '<br>',
 ));
 }
add_filter( 'bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args', 'cxr_subforum_filter' );

If it doesn’t then come back and I’ll take a deeper look, midnight here and on way to bed !

[strike3]

When a new topic goes to moderation and is approved, some, but not all, of the regular new topic actions take place. One thing that does not seem to happen is sending out the new topic notification email. If possible, can the bbp_notify_forum_subscribers action be added when a forum topic is approved by a moderator (after checking to make sure notifications are enabled)? The new topic notifications are a great way to drive visitors to our forums, so this is turning into an issue on our site. The site owners want to be able to moderate most (or even all) of the new topics, but then no notification emails are sent out.

If this is something I should try to figure out on my own, please let me know and I’ll give it a shot. I didn’t want to mess with the bbpress core code since it would get overridden on the next update.

Thanks!

I thought I followed the codex instructions pretty clearly, but this add_filter in my functions.php file is resulting in a 502 error and… I have no clue why!

Sorry, bbpress newbie here… any help that anyone can offer would be awesome.

Thanks in advance,

-Dave

PS Here’s the code I popped in my functions.php file:

function cxr_subforum_filter() {
bbp_list_forums(array (
‘before’ => ‘<tr>’,
‘after’ => ‘</tr>’,
‘link_before’ => ‘<td>’,
‘link_after’ => ‘</td>’,
‘separator’ => ‘<br>’,
));
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_before_list_forums_parse_args’, ‘cxr_subforum_filter’ );

Hello,

I followed the instructions at the link below to create a bbPress specific sidebar and it appears in the admin widgets section but the sidebar does not appear on the user side whether or not any content is added to that bbPress sidebar.

Can anyone help?

Thank you in advance,

Hi there,

WP: 4.8.2
BBP: 2.5.14

After digging into lots of pages, I finally found an old topic here that describes the same problem I have. As it’s an ancient topic, I started a new one.

For topics with more than 1000 replies, when posting new replies, bbpress does not add the page number to the reply permalink. I did as the user Matrixd said here(of course for new versions of bbpress with different paths):

Hello again, finally after John’s helpful tip, I was able to fix the issue. I found where BBpress does the number formatting and disabled it. In wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-functions.php I changed this line:

function bbp_number_format( $number = 0, $decimals = false, $dec_point = '.', $thousands_sep = ',' ) {

to:

function bbp_number_format( $number = 0, $decimals = false, $dec_point = '.', $thousands_sep = '' ) {

This removes the comma from the thousands separator. Now all topics pages appear correctly. Thanks!

And the problem solved!
But this is a core hack, I want it as an additional function without touching core files.

[John James Jacoby]

It looks like a conflict is causing the WPML language parameter to be added before bbPress adds its /edit/ endpoint.

I suppose it’s possible inside bbPress to try and handle that differently, but I’m reluctant to make it too fancy since it might break something else.

Without really looking, my guess is that WPML should filter the permalink at a later priority (as late as possible) so that all other filters have a chance to hook in normally first.

@dreuezekiel – ok try adding this to your functions file

add_filter('bbp_before_has_forums_parse_args', 'order_by_freshness', 10, 2);

function order_by_freshness ($args='') {
	$args = array(
	'meta_key'   => '_bbp_last_active_time',
	'orderby'    => 'meta_value',
	'order'      => 'DESC',
	);
	return $args ;
}

if you don’t know how to do that, come back and I’ll wrap it in a baby plugin for you

ok, I can only imagine that the code is not in the right place, or that a character is affecting (one character out of place and nothing works !)

ok, remove the code above completely

I’ve put the code into a small plugin

go to

add visual aditor

and download it to your PC, noting where it is downloaded to

go to

dashboard>plugins>add new>upload plugin and upload the file you downloaded and activate

If that doesn’t work, then I’m stumped, but please come back and let us know

I appreciate your frustration that you have not had answers posted, but not sure who you expect to answer them?

People write open source software in their own time and offer it for free. Under the open software foundation the software is offered without any warranty or support. You use it if you like and not if you don’t. It is perhaps a bit much to then expect software authors to answer every question someone might have about that software, or indeed having offered that software to the world for free, that they should invest any time to this unless they wish to. To then complain that they won’t tell you how to modify their error free code to do something you want but they didn’t design seems even more insulting.

If someone gave you a car for free, would you then tell them that they suck because they don’t come and service it for you? or whinge about it because they won’t re-spray it for you because you wanted it in red not green?

I am not a bbpress author, I’m just a guy who uses this software, and in turn spends some of my time in trying to help others. I am too frustrated that people who ask questions on here so rarely then try and help others, and wish that more people would give up free time to help people like you.

But I am just me and we are here to try and help where we can, but please lay off the insults and accept that free software does not come with a right to free support, and if people don’t answer your questions, it is maybe because wee like to help people who appreciate free help.

To work out an answer for you will probably take 1/2 hour of my free time. I’ll take a look tomorrow maybe.
