yes, the code I posted above if placed in your plugin would tell bbpress to look in

content/plugins/myplugin/templates/templates1/

[Robin W]

ok,

when I put the shortcode in the text widget, I just get it displayed as text ie [bbp-lost-pass] rather than rendered.

can you try the code in a page and see where that goes

[smithcreate]

I’m using an iThemes Builder theme and have a page template with a right column being used for that page. Under Appearance > Widgets, I have a Text widget applied to this column with the following code:

[bbp-lost-pass]

This renders the lost password form.

[Robin W]

can you tell us how you have put that code in the widget – ie what widget you are using and how you have put [bbp-lost-pass] in it

[Robin W]

ok, so back to your initial post – you renamed the forum root slug as ‘Index’ – yes?

if you do that, and then create a wordpress page called ‘Index’ and in that page put

[bbp-forum-index]

Then call that page from your menu and it should all work nicely.

The code is included in 2.6 alpha

/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php

lines 43-45

// Bail if not the notification action we are looking for
	if ( 'bbp_new_reply' !== $action ) {
		return $action;
	}

Hi,

I’m using bbPress 2.6-alpha on one site and I was wandering what was a recommended way of keeping that installation up to date with the latest 2.6 code? WP doesn’t report any updates but I guess important updates are made on code and they end up in that ZIP on Download page, right?

[junglejim620]

Hi Robin,

In the dashboard page it displayed this message that how i find out about it. So appearently 2.6.1.1 doesn’t have it, otherwise this message link wouldn’t displayed on admin page?

Attention: bbpress-bug: If you use bbpress < 2.6 please apply the changes described there: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2779 to get the notifications working

I even opened the notifications.php in notepad and even did a search for “else return $action;” , looked from top to bottom many times, no phase like that?

Not sure if I have to change the whole bunch of code or what from the 5512 link above.
This is a another language I have no idea what I’m suppose to do?

If all I need is to put this “else return $action;” , please show me how and where to put it? I put very bottom “else return $action;” ?> and getting a white page? Please help..

Show how bbPress 2.6.1.1 don’t have it? Perhaps is there’s a page I can go download this notifications.php ?

Please help,help. Thanks

[Robin W]

1. create a page
2. put one of these two shortcodes in it

[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
 [bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.

3. add the page to your menu

[Robin W]

I’ve been mulling this over…

I don’t think the following will work, but it’s worth an initial try – add this to your functions file

function bsp_breadcrumbs ($args) {
	$pre_current_text = $args['current_text'] ;
	$args['current_text'] = '[glossary_exclude]'.$pre_current_text.'[/glossary_exclude]' ;
	return $args ;
}

//add the filter 
add_filter('bbp_before_get_breadcrumb_parse_args', 'bsp_breadcrumbs');

Let me know either way !

[Robin W]

what bbpress role does the person have? if admin, and they see the ip address in replies, you could put the email under this using

add_action ('bbp_theme_after_reply_author_admin_details', 'rew_show_email') ;

function rew_show_email () {
$user_id_rew = bbp_get_reply_author_id () ;
$user_info_rew = get_userdata($user_id_rew);
$email = $user_info_rew->user_email;
echo 'Email: '.$email ;
}

put this in your functions file

https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

[Robin W]

If I understand you correctly you want to amend a file in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/

The easiest way is to copy the relevant file to your child theme

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress and copy the file there eg

wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-forums.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

You can also add a location – for instance within a plugin I use I add a location using :

add_action( 'bbp_register_theme_packages', 'bsp_register_plugin_template1' );

//get the template path
function bsp_get_template1_path() {
	return BSP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/templates/templates1';
}

function bsp_register_plugin_template1() {
	bbp_register_template_stack( 'bsp_get_template1_path', 12 );
}

[smithcreate]

I solved this. The code above was already in the functions file. I removed it and all is well.

[smithcreate]

I’m having this error on my production website.

I added the code in my functions.php file of my child theme which causes the site to not load. With the exception that I changed the return value:

add_filter( 'bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 'my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 999, 1 );
function my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url( $requested_url )
{
    return 'http://www.ccghpa.com' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}

Any other fixes?

[pcpro178]

I appreciate your willingness to help. 🙂 It’s not functionality that I want to customize at this time. Right now, I’m only really interested in getting the pages to integrate/fit well with my site. That is, I need to integrate it with my theme.

Perhaps if we look at this from the other end the problem will be easier to understand:

My plan at present is to develop a new template page within my theme to handle bbPress Topic pages. This new page will adopt elements (mostly copy/paste style) from one of the bbPress files (plugin-bbpress.php, bbpress.php, forums.php, or forum.php). I’m confused as to which of those files should be used for displaying bbPress Topcic pages (e.g. sopearly.com/topic/welcome-to-the-sopearly-community/).

If I had to guess, I would start by copying & modifying forum.php into my new template. Would that be correct?

[Robin W]

hmm.. The only way I can immediately think of is to modify loop-topics

so

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/loop-topics.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/loop-topics.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original
and you can amend this

so in that file you will see

<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-topic' ); ?>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

you would need to check with forum the user is in and then custom display

so something like – you’d need to write the code – this is just words !

<?php 
	if (forum == the one you want to change) {
		then make an array of the ID, and then cycle through them
		foreach ($topics as $topic) {
		bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-topic' );
		}
	}
	else { ?>
		<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>

			<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-topic' ); ?>

		<?php endwhile; ?>
	<?php } ?>

[pcpro178]

You are correct. There is no functionality missing, and I am trying to get the bbPress pages to look like they fit with the rest of my site (i.e. background and header–theme elements). My last reply (#176623) was badly mangled by the auto-populated page elements from my site (did not see that coming), and Akismet keeps blocking my posts, so I have no idea when anyone will see this. :”’ (

Please correct me if I am using the wrong approach, but what I am trying to do is figure out which of the files at wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress that I should be using to customize the bbPress topic page (e.g. ‘sopearly.com/topic/welcome-to-the-sopearly-community/’) and which file name I should rename it to: plugin-bbpress.php, bbpress.php, forums.php, forum.php.

I realize I’m having a lot of trouble with this. Thanks so much for your help. 🙂

[Robkk]

it’s enough to send a prospective wordpress user running in the direction of other alternatives

bbPress has a forum import tool in Tools > Forums > Import Forums (free and open source code, so any dev can just improve the program how they want then official devs can commit changes or not).

[theredheadhenry]

Should point out, that the return at the bottom originally was like this:

return get_author_posts_url( $user->ID );

[theredheadhenry]

I found this plugin that takes all the usernames that are commented on a post and makes the link go to a different page. I’m trying to make it call the bbp_user_profile_url. This way, when the link of a user is clicked on from the comments it goes to the users bbpress profile.

My PHP is a little rusty, so I deliberately coded this wrong hoping someone can see what I’m trying to accomplish. My code modifications are at the very end.

if ( ! function_exists( 't5_comment_uri_to_author_archive' ) )
{
    add_filter( 'get_comment_author_url', 't5_comment_uri_to_author_archive' );

    function t5_comment_uri_to_author_archive( $uri )
    {
        global $comment;

        // We do not get the real comment with this filter.
        if ( empty ( $comment )
            or ! is_object( $comment )
            or empty ( $comment->comment_author_email )
            or ! $user = get_user_by( 'email', $comment->comment_author_email )
        )
        {
            return $uri;
        }

        return <a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>" ></a>( $user->ID );
    }
}

Hi Robin,

thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, the code did not work. When I enter text that I know is in a wordpress page into the forum search box, I get a list of forum topics, and that list disappears. When the list disappears, I get a no post found message.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/8xv3qblzumnh16s/forumsearch.PNG?dl=0

[pcpro178]

Thanks, Robin. I’ve already done that for the Forum Index and Forum pages. In concert with a few .htaccess redirects, it works fine, as can be seen here:

https://sopearly.com/forums/
https://sopearly.com/forum-introductions/

Any links to the bbPress-generated https://sopearly.com/forum/introductions/ are redirected to https://sopearly.com/forum-introductions/.

Redirect /forum/introductions/ https://sopearly.com/forum-introductions/

The biggest problem I am having right now is with the Topic pages, since I do not have control over which discussion topics be created by my users in each of the forums; the Topic page links are automatically generated by bbPress. Here is a good example:

https://sopearly.com/topic/welcome-to-the-sopearly-community/

I can make the colors, spacing, etc. match the rest of my site with a little work, but the page backgrounds and header are managed by the theme I’m using. What I’ve been able to gather by the reading I’ve done is that I should be able to take the contents of one of the files located at wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress, insert that into the appropriate (copied) theme file (single, template, etc.), and rename that file to one of the following:

• plugin-bbpress.php
• bbpress.php
• forums.php
• forum.php

I can get with my theme’s support to find out which of their files I should start with, but (unless you think there is a better way) I guess my question is which of the files from wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress should I use, and to which of the four filenames should I copy it in my child theme? Thanks so much for your help. 🙂

[BekBek20]

Sorry if my response was not good.

What i meant was, Your suggestion was together with a few adjustments i made to the code, which i used to get the alphabetically arrangement of a specific forum topic.

Now i want to arrange another specific forum topic in a specic order using there ID i guess.

For example, I want to arrange the following topic to another arrangement.

Topic ID
I enjoy bbpress 655
I want bbpress 658
I love bbpress 660
bbpress 662

To be arranged like this

Topic ID
I love bbpress 660
I want bbpress 658
bbpress 662
I enjoy bbpress 655

That’s what i want to do now, I was hoping you could help me.

Thanks for your time
