Hello all,

I would like to know if there are any plugins or code snippet using which the members of the buddypress group can automatically subscribe to the forum to receive email notification on new topic creation.

Receiving email notification for every topic being created in the group forum is a huge matter of concern for me. I tried I would like to know if there are any ways to make the user of a particular group be subscribed only to the forums of that group?

I tried the code mentioned here – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/new-users-auto-subscribe-to-one-forum/#post-146665

But this makes the user subscribe to all the forums of all the groups which is not appropriate for us. Can someone help me with this regard? Thanks.

Links in Email Notifications

Hello, maybe this is already possible but I can’t find any information about it – how can I embed links in the notification email to subscribers to a topic? Even if I code in links using HTML they seem to be stripped out in the resulting email message.

Thanks,
Kitka

@robkk yes I tried it like this – nothing shows up.
My free theme is Responsive (not Responsive II) from Cyberchimps.
I would really appreciate it if we could get to the bottom of it.
All this works only if I use the code as it is without the menu location but the links go to both menus.
Thanks.

You can use this CSS.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list {
    display: none;
}

see if what is poated here may help.

You can also try this plugin, it has code that might be in bbPress core in the future.

[katiemeeks]

on the forum slug:
http://discoversee.com/seeforums/

I would like to remove the links to the subforums – only showing the forums.

is there a code, CSS or function code I can use to remove these? Or the links to them?

Just to clarify I want the user to be able to set the status on the front end when they are posting a new topic.
That code worked but only lets me do it from the back end

[Robkk]

@casiepa

I guess you can also use this.

function change_translate_text( $translated_text ) {
  if ( $translated_text == ‘Oh bother! No topics were found here!’) {
    $translated_text = ‘No topics were found here!’;
  }
  return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'change_translate_text', 20 );

[chjcoughlan]

Great. thanks for this.

I tried adding the code to my functions.php file but it didnt work. Do I need to do something special with it?

[Robkk]

It is possible to add custom statuses with this plugin.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddy-bbpress-support-topic/

Here is an example gist file.

https://gist.github.com/imath/9e69b8139ff6f7a4120a

Here is example for Urgent.

function your_custom_status( $allstatus = array() ) {
	$allstatus['topic-working-on-it'] = array(
		'sb-caption'   => __( 'Urgent', 'buddy-bbpress-support-topic' ),
		'value'        => 3,
		'prefix-title' => __( '[Urgent] ', 'buddy-bbpress-support-topic' ),
		'admin_class'  => 'urgent',
		'dashicon'     => array( 'class' => 'bpbbpst-dashicons-warning', 'content' => '"\f534"' ),
	);
	return $allstatus;
}
add_filter( 'bpbbpst_get_support_status', 'your_custom_status', 10, 1 );

[Robkk]

You did try it like this right??

if(is_bbpress() && $args->menu->slug == 'sub_header_menu')

If it still doesn’t work you can try finding the menu location in your theme, which might most likely be in the functions.php file, but it could be different depending on the theme. You would spot by the register nav menu function like what is listed in this page.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_nav_menus

If you have a free theme I could check it out and get the arguments you need.

[Robkk]

This is the CSS causing the issue. You are stretching a 14px image to 40px, that is why it is so blurry.

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-reply-revision-log img.avatar, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topic-revision-log img.avatar, 
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice img.avatar, 
#bbpress-forums .widget_display_topics img.avatar, 
#bbpress-forums .widget_display_replies img.avatar {
    border: none;
    width: 40px;
}

See if the PHP code snippet in this topic can help you resize the 14px avatars better.

Resizing Avatars

[Robkk]

I guess you can try this code instead to see if it works any. I guess I can can also just check out to see if the custom script file name changed. I am using an older version of Divi 2.4 for testing so it could be a possibility.

You can contact me here if you want me to check it out on your site later.

add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'rkk_reply_threading_divi' );

function rkk_reply_threading_divi() {

    if( is_bbpress() && bbp_is_single_topic() ) {
        wp_dequeue_script( 'divi-custom-script' );
    }
}

[mica123]

When I use this code without the
if(is_bbpress() && $args->theme_location == 'sub-header-menu')

it works but I get the links on both menus. Below is the code I tried to use for the second menu only – the second menu is called Logins – I tried to use both sub-header-menu or logins.
I tried your suggestion with both as well.

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_login_link' );
function my_nav_menu_login_link($menu) {
    //uncomment the next line if you only want login on bbpress pages

   if(is_bbpress() && $args->theme_location == 'sub-header-menu')
    if (is_user_logged_in()) {
        //set the $url on the next line to the page you want users to go back to when they logout
        $url = '$url = 'http://www.mysite.com/forums';
        $url2=wp_logout_url($url) ;
        $loginlink = '<li><a title="Logout" href="'.$url2.'">Logout</a></li>';
        }
    else {
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user=$current_user->user_login ;
        //set $page on the next line = the permalink for your login page
        $page=''login' ;
        $loginlink = '<li><a href="/'.$page.'/">Login</a></li>';
                }
     //uncomment out the next lines if you only want login on bbpress pages
   }
    else {
   $loginlink="" ;
      }
        $menu = $menu . $loginlink;
        return $menu;
        }

Thank you @robkk It didn’t work, but I only have a basic understanding, so I’m not exactly sure if I put the code in the right place in the file. Here is what my functions.php file looks like with the code you provided.

<?php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array('parent-style')
    );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );

register_nav_menus( array(
	'primary-menu'   => __( 'Primary Menu', 'Divi' ),
	'profile-menu'   => __( 'Profile Menu', 'Divi' ),
	'secondary-menu' => __( 'Secondary Menu', 'Divi' ),
	'footer-menu'    => __( 'Footer Menu', 'Divi' ),
) );
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'rkk_reply_threading_divi' );

function rkk_reply_threading_divi() {

    if( function_exists( 'is_bbpress' ) && bbp_is_single_topic() && bbp_thread_replies() ) 

{
        wp_dequeue_script( 'divi-custom-script' );
    }
}
?>

You could post the code you are using so I can double check to see how it is if you still want to do this manually without a plugin.

[Robkk]

There should be forum for each company name.

Just create a new forum for each company.

All threads specific to that company needs to be created there.

You can create group forums with the help of buddyPress or bbPress private groups to enforce this. Other than that just tell users to post there.

Now on searching city, state, region or holding company related forums/threads should come in results. I want to create menu where in he can click on city and find related company names available in that city.

Not sure where the city, state, region, holding company data is kept. I am guessing since each company has a forum, that each company’s data could be the city, state, region. I guess create a forum taxonomy for each?

Then make the bbPress forum search or whatever search you are using for the site to be able to search forum taxonomies?

I want to create menu where in he can click on city and find related company names available in that city.

I guess create a custom query?? bbPress has if_has_forums() to be able to do this I guess.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

I can’t really help any more since this is custom development.

[Robkk]

Try using something like the menu slug instead. Just type in the name you entered of the menu in lowercase each space is a _.

&& $args->menu->slug == 'name_of_menu')

[Robkk]

Use wanguard for a question captcha. Manually approving users can be done with a plugin listed in this guide or if you use BuddyPress too, a plugin listed in their guide possibly. Approving based on a certain field, I am not sure.

Theme my login is probably the best to use for frontend forms. bbPress has some form shortcodes you can use but they might not work as great because there is functionality missing.

[Ingridlin]

Hi, I just add the bbpress search code posted above by robkk, and it works too fine Some private topics are also show up. How could I use this search function but not include the private topic. Or maybe it could only shows the topic name but not content. Thanks

@sumanthbhe
copy this code into your functions.php file – preferably in your child theme.

[artstellars.com]

Alright. I downloaded an plugin called “Chinese-username” and it works right now which is great! The code is:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Chinese UserName
Plugin URI: http://www.01on.com/?p=654
Description: 允许用a-z0-9_.-@和汉字作为用户名
Author: 白云山
Version: 1.0
Author URI: http://www.01on.com/
*/
add_filter( ‘sanitize_user’, ‘ys_sanitize_user’,3,3);
function ys_sanitize_user($username, $raw_username, $strict){
$username = $raw_username;
$username = strip_tags($username);
// Kill octets
$username = preg_replace(‘|%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])|’, ”, $username);
$username = preg_replace(‘/&.+?;/’, ”, $username); // Kill entities

// If strict, reduce to ASCII and chinese for max portability.
if ( $strict )
$username = preg_replace(‘|[^a-z0-9 _.\-@\x80-\xFF]|i’, ”, $username);

// Consolidate contiguous whitespace
$username = preg_replace(‘|\s+|’, ‘ ‘, $username);

return $username;
}
?>

The only problem I found is the Chinese username owner can’t update his info. by clicking on his username in the forum page. Whenever clicking on the hyperlink of the Chinese username, it just redirects to http://artstellars.co.nz/forums/users and displaying a message saying “Not Found – Sorry, but the page you were trying to view does not exist. It looks like this was the result of either a mishtyped address or an out-of-date link”.

But while registering as an English username there’s no such trouble. Hope WordPress or bbpress can consider support Chinese username in the near future. Thanks.

Hello

After experimenting with all your suggestions I think I would like to use the code from
https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/ #11.This redirects both logged in and not logged in users to specific pages which is what I want.
This works partially – I am trying to attach it to my second menu – not the primary menu but whathever I try it doesn’t work. If I leave the code as it is, it displays the links on both menus. I tried to use
if ($args->theme_location == 'sub-header-menu')
in various places such as:
if(is_bbpress() && $args->theme_location == 'sub-header-menu')

I would need this for both logged in and not logged in users.
Thank you very much for your patience. I hope you can help.

Hey @robkk

This is related to the bbPress function bbp_buddypress_add_notification() which fires on bbp_new_reply.
