I am trying to integrate BBPress into a site created with Toolset – Layouts, Types and Views.

The following BBPress shortcodes require an ID parameter:

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id]
[bbp-single-topic id=$topic_id]
[bbp-single-reply id=$reply_id]

Each of the IDs required above are aliases for the post_id, which Toolset privides a shortcode for. In order to get the templates to work for layouts applied to single Forums, Topics and Replies I need to include the current post ID. The simplest way I can imagine to do this would be as follows?

[bbp-single-forum id='[wpv-post-id]’]
[bbp-topic-form forum_id='[wpv-post-id]’]
[bbp-single-topic id='[wpv-post-id]’]
[bbp-single-reply id='[wpv-post-id]’]

Unfortunately I get the following output at the front end?

‘]

This makes clear to me that nested shortcodes are not supported in the BBPress. Is there a straightforward way of extending this functionality, perhaps through the functions.php file? This would create full compatibility with BBPress and Toolset. I couldn’t find any solutions to this shared on this support forum but it seems to me as something that may be a common problem and could have been tackled before.

I hope you can assist.

Hello,

There are multiple topics under a forum. I want recent replies of such topics that are under a specific forum. Short code is available fr recent topics that gets the result from all over the topics that is x forum, or in Y forum.

But I want the recent replies from all topics that are under X forum.

Please suggest some solution for the same.

[lalitavalon]

please reply if short code not possible please let me know any alternative for the same. On other page I can give the forum id dynamically and get all related topics with related to that forum.
Please respond as soon as possible.

I am waiting for your reply.

[lalitavalon]

I am looking for a shortcode or code (so I can make my own shortcode) to add the latest x topics from a specific forum. Like the recent topic widgets does. But in this case I can’t use the widget – so I am looking for a code to get the output of that widget somewhere in the text. I hope that is possible. I looked at the shortcodes on the website, but none of them is useful in my case.
It needs to say show x recent topics of forum with ID=… and then only give the titles with link

Hi,

Always the same problem, no solution. I tried all sort of things but nothing works.

I always have HTML code in message :

C’est juste la combinaison des articles du CPC…
<p style= »text-align: center; »>Article 771 CPC</p>
Lorsque la demande est présentée postérieurement à sa désignatio

Any idea, any clue ?

Hello Support,

http://www.imanicogic.com
Wordpress Version:4.7.5
BBPress Version: 2.5.12

This was tried on other themes and our WordPress Developer encouraged us to submit this to you.
==========================
We are trying to redirect Members, Groups, and Activity pages to a custom URL. We are using the following code:

function church_bp_page_template_redirect()
{

if( ! is_user_logged_in() && ! bp_is_activation_page() && ! bp_is_register_page() && (bp_is_current_component(‘members’) bp_is_current_component(‘activity’) bp_is_current_component(‘groups’))) {
wp_redirect( ‘/imani-secured-login/’ );
exit();
}
}

add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘church_bp_page_template_redirect’,10 );

However, when BBPress is active, this will not work and will always redirecting to Homepage but if BBPress is activated, the custom code will work perfectly.

Can you please check if there are any conflicts with Buddypress and BBPress in regards to template_redirect?

Thanks!

[Robin W]

ok, so this is a search function – yes?

If so, look at this code that I use with my private groups plugin to filter search results and see if you can make this work for you

//this function filters to the bbp search function to allow only returns from allowed forums

Hello @robin-w,

I’m not using a default bbPress function to hide the topics. I’m using a custom plugin to handle the hiding of topics so members who are participants have a choice if they want the topic to be public to all members or private to moderators and keymasters. As you can see with the code above, that excludes the custom private topics from search results. Now what I need to do is update the pagination counts.

For example, there’s a topic named “Testing” and another topic named “test123”. Pagination will show 2 topics. If “testing” is now marked private, pagination will show 2 topics. I need to figure out a way to update the pagination so it only shows 1 topic since that’s all is showing to participants. However if a moderator comes along with the required permission to view a private topic, the pagination should still show 2 topics since the moderator has permission to see the private topic.

I hope this helps explain my goal.

Thanks.

[Robin W]

Is there anyway I can get a list of topic IDs inside a forum ID?

sorry missed this first time round.

you’ll want bbp_has_topics which you’ll find in

\includes\topics\template.php

line 140

function bbp_has_topics( $args = '' )

you can call it with a forum id eg

<?php $query = bbp_has_topics( array( 'post_parent' => '2579') ); ?>

this will return an array of topics from forum ID 2579 which you can then work with

[Alex Stine]

Hello,

Any ideas? Maybe something like this?

<?php echo bbp_get_forum_id(bbp_get_topic_id()); ?>

Thanks.

[Stephen Edgar]

You shouldn’t need to do any of the above, setting your WordPress install to use German as the default language should automatically download bbPress’ translations.

p.s. If you’re using the method above for a different reason, uploading them to wp-content/languages/bbpress instead of wp-content/languages/buddypress would be the answer 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

If a user with a username myname already exists then that user will be imported as imported_myname so that data is not overwritten.

When you go to the users wp-admin dashboard if you select to delete a user when you select the imported_myname to delete you will be prompted to attribute the content to another user, you can then select the myname user and everything will be sorted, hopefully 🙂

You’ll want to check and verify both before and after that the correct topics and replies are attributed to the correct users bother before and after doing the above.

Troubleshooting

[mapofemergence]

@tkserver please do keep me/us posted about your progress.

I’m not familiar with Angular JS, at all, but I’ve invested quite some thoughts on the frontend too; my implementation is a basic and quite old-school combo of PHP and AJAX jQuery but, still, that doesn’t mean I’m not aiming at a smart and fresh UX 🙂

I’m very interested in hearing other people’s thoughts, both with regards to usage philosophy and in terms of code implementation. I firmly believe that’s the best (possibly the only) way to make the right choices, early in the development, for the backend to be generalized and robust enough to serve everybody’s requirements.

[ilovemetrics]

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I’m not following how this would solve the problem, though. From what I can see of that filter, I need to pass in the topic title into this function, but I can’t get the topic title in functions.php early enough.

Here’s the function (in functions.php) I’ve created to modify the title in other ways needed (replace “Forum” with “Investment Groups” and replace mdash; with a hyphen as the main separator). This is where I’d want to incorporate the logic:

function theme_mod_title() {
    	add_filter('document_title_separator', function() {
        	return '$%';
    	});
    	remove_filter('pre_get_document_title', 'theme_mod_title');
    	$find = array(
			'/ \$% /', 
			'/^Forums/'
		);
    	$replace = array(
			' - ', 
			'Investment Groups'
		);
    	$title = wp_get_document_title();

	// filter the title    
    	$ftitle = preg_replace($find, $replace, $title);

        NOT SURE HOW TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, BUT LOGIC NEEDED IS
	//if (on bbpress topic page){
		$ftitle = bbpress topic title . ' - ' . $ftitle;
	//}

	return $ftitle;
}
add_filter('pre_get_document_title', 'theme_mod_title');

The bbPress part is where I’m stuck. I’m not sure how to actually get the topic title early enough to pass it into the document title. This seems to be the only place I can actually set any new meta title tag logic, but I can’t tap into anything bbPress this early in the process.

Thanks again

[Stephen Edgar]

Have you seen bbp_new_topic_pre_title() in includes/topics/functions.php ?

(There’s also bbp_new_forum_pre_title() in includes/forums/functions.php)

[scrawny]

Same problem.

Site is running certified SSL and have had no issues with other plugins or wordpress itself.

Running PHP 7.1, latest version of bbPress

Problem exists in Firefox and Opera. Don’t use IE or Chrome.

Site is closed to public while in developement. Doesn’t seem to stop people accessing forum.

When clicking on Forums in Dashboard the url result is

https://mysimpleknitting.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=forum

Message on page is:

The mysimpleknitting.com page isn’t working

mysimpleknitting.com.com is currently unable to handle this request.

When I attempt to access forums from url directly:

When I type in https://mysimpleknitting.com/forums/

The result is the same error.

Clicking on Forums in the Settngs brings up the proper bbPress page.

[Robin W]

ok, you need to get this code into your site.

@media screen and (max-width: 400px) {
.list-view .site-content .cat-links, .list-view .site-content .entry-content, .list-view .site-content .entry-summary, .list-view .site-content footer.entry-meta {
    display: initial !important;
}

}

There are many ways to do this.

If you theme has a custom css area, you can put it in there

Otherwise you can look for a css plugin and add that

or you could install and activate my style pack plugin

bbp style pack

and go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>custom css and put the code in there

[Robin W]

line 2930 of your custom css file changes this for

@media screen and (max-width: 400px)

using

.list-view .site-content .cat-links, .list-view .site-content .entry-content, .list-view .site-content .entry-summary, .list-view .site-content footer.entry-meta {
    display: none;
}

you need to add some custom css for instance

@media screen and (max-width: 400px) {
.list-view .site-content .cat-links, .list-view .site-content .entry-content, .list-view .site-content .entry-summary, .list-view .site-content footer.entry-meta {
    display: initial !important;
}

}

[Robin W]

ok that’s firmly theme related, but I’ll give you a starter and let you play

Put this in your theme’s custom css area, presuming it has one

.section-inner {
  width: 1200px;
}

.content {
  width: 65%;
}

.sidebar {
  width: 27.5%;
}

and then just play with the numbers to get what you want

[core12dev]

One of the first things I attempted. Renaming does the same as “deactivating” the plugin. There are no other bbPress related plugins.

It is acting like a script issue where the Admin functions aren’t finding the proper variables. But I’m not a pro coder… just a logic guy.

[mapofemergence]

Hi @TKServer, I’m glad you revamped this topic.
Although since my last post I didn’t work further on the code, I’m still very much interested in the discussion.
Originally, I was going in the same direction that you just suggested but, ultimately, I thought that a separate API would be desirable for a variety of reasons.

I can name the ones I thought of, but I’m sure others might have even stronger (and more educated) motivations:

• the most general and obvious: a separate API makes you less dependant on certain builtin constraints of WP API and let you take design decision which are more tightly connected with bbPress specifically; even though bbPress leverages WP’s custom post types and tags, there’s a higher layer of abtraction (read: forum functionality) which implies a whole set of requests for which the existing endpoints’ structure is not ideal
• depending on what info you want to get with a single request, the default WP API queries might not serve the scope well (ie. they could force the user to make multiple queries where just one would be desirable and sufficient; also, where multiple database calls are required, it might not provide those in the best performing way)
• from a user standpoint, I believe it is better to offer schemas (and filters) which reflect more the semantics of a forum, than the ones of a blog; I believe you can still build those custom terms in the existing API, but it might become confusing soon, and in my opinion you’d loose the advantage of staying with a single API, anyway
• additionally (and actually the main reason for me personally), I see bbPress as part of an ecosystem, with WP and BuddyPress. Since BuddyPress already went for a separate API, I thought it would make sense to do the same with bbPress, keeping things clean and separate. Utlimately, the ideal would be to have the bbPress API live with the bbPress plugin itself, so that the development of the two can progress together (and therefore be more efficient and optimised, both ways)
• finally, speaking of bbPress BuddyPress, there’s an area where the two plugins overlap (bb forums in BP groups); I believe it is already a non-trivial problem to solve in a separate API and it would likely be even more complicated to try and stay within the WP limits; I was mentioning this in another post too, which I believe is still awaiting approval from moderators (please pardon me if I dare poking them here, once more) 🙂

Again, this is just my opinion; there are probably pros and cons in both options and I’d be more than happy to hear from anyone who’s more bbPress-savvy than I am.

Cheers,
s t e

Hi support team,

I was trying to use your translatetion instructions but unfortunately it has not worked on my case.

1. I downloaded files mo./po. (Go to https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/bbpress)
2. renamed them accordingly “bbpress-de_DE”
3. uploaded to my server folder “wp-content/languages/buddypress”

But still are not working. Any ideas?
