Hi,

I would like to hide the topic count on my main forum category page – but only that page. I am using WP 4.2.2., the most recent version of Buddypress, Air child theme for Builder (iThemes) and Wishlist member.

http://papercrafterslibrary.co/forums/forum/pcl-member-forum/

I inspected the code using Firebug and I can see that it is .bbp-template-notice – I just don’t know how to set it up correctly to only hide the topic count on that single page.

Thanks,

Andra

I also deleted the user links to their forum profile in my functions.php

what code did you use to do that??

i wonder if i get the same issue if i use that and your custom forum user snippet ??

this should help

@robkk
thank you!
To give the usernames some custom css, I added a custom class into the loop-single-reply.php
Here is the part of the code with the custom class (custom-forum-user)

[...]	
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_author_details' ); ?>
   <div class="custom-forum-user"> 
	   <!--- <?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />',  'show_role' => true ) ); ?> -->
		<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'size' => 150 ) ); ?>
   </div>  <!--- custom-forum-user -->

		<?php if ( bbp_is_user_keymaster() ) : ?> 
[...]

But the problem still appears, even when I am not loading my custom loop-single-reply.php. So I think it is not an issue of that.

I also deleted the user links to their forum profile in my functions.php. But even this (I tested it) is not the cause of the problem with the lower case letters. This is everything I changed regarding the forum user names.
What do you think can I do to fix this issue?

the text widget in WordPress doesnt allow shortcodes by default.

you can add this PHP code snippet to your child themes functions.php or a functionality plugin to allow it do so though.

add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

[xavierartot]

I add this short code in a text widget, but it doesn’t work?
I tried in the forum too?
thanks

[Robkk]

First try these if you haven’t already

check out this guide and the subpages in the left sidebar

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

you can also try these two plugins one at a time and see if they do anything.

[Robkk]

There is these shortcodes you can use.

[Robkk]

sorry for the late reply but see if this can you.

@tarnvogl

yes i see this is highly customized , look good too.

what code did you use to display the users profile name??

I am sure all you have to do is wrap it in a class, then just add a similar CSS snippet to what i gave you.

Hi folks,

bbPress is amazing with Buddypress, but one thing is anoying me:

When i have new Replys or a Notification of a new Reply. The generated Link directs me to the front Page or the First Post of the Topic.

But the Notification is called “You have a new Reply from XY to Topic ABC”.
So i want to see the new Reply, not the first Entry of this Topic (bc. i created this Topic).

I arranged it like that:

Changed the following Code:
“bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php” / Line 49

$topic_link  = wp_nonce_url( add_query_arg( array( 'action' => 'bbp_mark_read', 'topic_id' => $topic_id ), bbp_get_reply_url( $item_id ) ), 'bbp_mark_topic_' . $topic_id );

to

$topic_link  = wp_nonce_url( add_query_arg( array( 'action' => 'bbp_mark_read', 'topic_id' => $item_id ), bbp_get_reply_url( $item_id ) ), 'bbp_mark_topic_' . $item_id );

and
“bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php” / Line 113-120

	// Get some reply information
	$args = array(
		'user_id'          => $topic_author_id,
		'item_id'          => $topic_id,
		'component_name'   => bbp_get_component_name(),
		'component_action' => 'bbp_new_reply',
		'date_notified'    => get_post( $reply_id )->post_date,
	);

to

	// Get some reply information
	$args = array(
		'user_id'          => $topic_author_id,
		'item_id'          => $reply_id,
		'component_name'   => bbp_get_component_name(),
		'component_action' => 'bbp_new_reply',
		'date_notified'    => get_post( $reply_id )->post_date,
	);

So it´s Kind of a Core Hack.
Could it be impimented as an Option or via other Filter? I don´t know how to do it “right”.

Pls Help and Greetings

I finish this like

<?php if (bbp_get_topic_forum_title() == get_option('white_kategorija_1')) : ?> 

[Robkk]

@blazemiskulin

it also does have an option to change the shortcode to this [ref][/ref]

but it still wont work , so you probably have to hire a developer to make it work on bbPress.

http://jobs.wordpress.net/

[Robkk]

you can try this also and see if it works

a.bbp-author-name {
    text-transform: uppercase !important;
}

if it doesn’t you can link to your site so i could see if there is any conflicting CSS.

[Master]

i use this

<?php if (bbp_get_topic_forum_id() == bbp_get_forum_id('3263')) : ?>
<?php printf( __( '<a class="%3$s" href="%1$s">%2$s</a>', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_forum_permalink( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ), bbp_get_forum_title( bbp_get_topic_forum_id() ), get_option('white_boja_1') ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

did posible use somting other not bbp_get_forum_id(‘3263’)` category search from id
i wont find from category name? wont use etc like bbp_get_forum_id(‘general’)

find topick title from category title not from id.

Hi guys,

I recently released a plugin for bbPress+WordPress, which adds a brand new shortcode that displays various statistics for your forum, and also includes the bbPress Statistics as an on/off toggle.

For those trying to replicate a similar look and feel to say, phpBB or vBulletin, this will help!

In future versions, I plan on implementing an actual widget – however, due to the way I have written the plugin I get the feeling it would require a full rewrite to achieve that – so it may be a while off yet.

Anyway, if you’re interested, check it out here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-improved-statistics-users-online/

[Jake Hall]

I’m pretty happy with what I’ve managed to do with the bbpress installation on my site, rockstarwire.net/community

I have even released a plugin of my own, bbPress Advanced Statistics, which essentially adds a shortcode that displays a phpbb / vBulletin-esque “who’s online & statistics” section, you can see an example on the bottom of my site or you can check out the screenshots.

I’m optimistic about the future of bbPress, I just wish my community actually used the forum after all the work I’ve put into it!

[Robin W]

Does any of this help?

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[Robin W]

thanks for the typo, I’ll fix that on next release.

both bbpress and wordpress add the ‘Private’ heading, hence why it appears twice. My style plugin removes both, which is not what you want, but what it does !

I’ll take a further look if I get some time

I am just a humble bbpress user, I’m not an author of bbpress, so

It would be nice to lose that message when you are next in that code.

ain’t gonna happen !

[Blaze Miskulin]

@ Robkk

No, it does not use the standard shortcode. It allows the user to wrap comments in the character of their choice (such as double-parenthesis), and then moves that comment to the end of the post and replaces it with a superscript hyperlink.

Also, the footnotes feature should be available for all users. We’re a bunch of geeks who love footnotes. 😀

@ Robin W

And, on a larger note: Does bbPress, by default, isolate itself from other plugins?

Sorry but I don’t understand your question.

My apologies for not being clear.
Sorry but I don’t understand your question.

My apologies for not being clear. Let me try to explain better.
Let me try to explain better:

Does bbPress include security or “sandboxing” features that block other plugins from interacting with it? I know that some plugins intentionally block common tools (such as the shortcodes mentioned by Robkk,above). I’m not complaining about it, just looking for information so I know how to proceed.

Footnotes is a plugin that works in posts, pages, and comments. It does not, however, work within forum posts or comments. I’m new to bbPress (been using WP for about 15 years), so I’m just trying to learn how forum posts and comments are different from “main” posts and comments.

[Antipole]

I am trying your bbl-style-pack plugin, as that would be easier for others to maintain should that situation arise.

The Remove Private option removes both occurrences of the PRIVATE: prefix. It also removes private forums entirely from the (bbPress) Forums List widget display when on an ordinary page (not just the prefix PRIVATE:) – but not when displaying a forum list. I suspect that this is not what was intended.

[Incidentally, the bbpStyle pack Forum Display tab has a minor typo in section 4. The tick box reads Move subscribe to rightRemove private prefix rather than Remove private prefix

What I want to achieve is to remove one occurrence of the duplicate wording in the forum display heading PRIVATE: PRIVATE: forum name. Are you able to suggest a solution for this?

Regarding the Oh bother! No topics were found here!, yes creating a topic would remove this, but I have created empty forums to guide users as to which forum to use for their potential topic. It would be nice to lose that message when you are next in that code.

thanks again

[Robin W]

You can remove ‘private’ by adding the following to your functions file

add_filter('protected_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_protected_title');
function ntwb_remove_protected_title($title) {
	return '%s';
}
 
add_filter('private_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_private_title');
function ntwb_remove_private_title($title) {
	return '%s';
}

or if you are not into coding, use my plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

which has the ability to remove it.

If the forum is empty, a blue box correctly says This forum is empty but then a yellow box says Oh bother! No topics were found here!

This will obviously only show until one topic is created, so is very temporary. I could work out some code to remove it, but maybe just create a topic and it will disappear !

[Antipole]

Robin… before I got your suggestion regarding rewrite rules, I had begun to suspect corruption of permissions in my forum database entires. I created a new test forum and it worked OK.

So, for each empty forum I deleted it and created a new one. For each forum with topics, I created a new one, i.e. Forum A new, reassigned the topics from Forum A to Forum A new, deleted Forum A and then renamed Formum A new to Forum A.

This has cleared my problem and I can now view the forum topics as Testuser2.

How the problem arose, I do not know. There have been WordPress or bbPress updates recently and possibly something did not upgrade properly.

There remain two issues:
The keyword PRIVATE: is shown twice in the display of the forum contents.
If the forum is empty, a blue box correctly says This forum is empty but then a yellow box says Oh bother! No topics were found here!

In the latter case, I suspect a coding error whereby the empty forum is spotted but the code still tries to display the topics.

Do I still need to reset my permalink as you suggest?

Meanwhile I shall start re-instating my plugins etc.

thanks for your support.
