yes you would just put that code in form-topic.php

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php

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/form-topic.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/form-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

you can then look at how the form does this, and put the appropriate lines in.

[Robin W]

with code anything is possible !

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php

line 27

[Robin W]

you can have multiple roles with the same capabilities, so the original code should be fine.

So I would check

1. that the moderator role which you have renamed Councilman works
2. that if you set up a test user and give them Artisan, that that works (ie is it only her)

[Robkk]

bbPress thinks your forums are a blog post hence the “filed under” .

you need to create a bbpress.php in your child theme from a copy of page.php and remove any unwanted code you do not need for your bbPress forums.

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

[Robkk]

you can do something like this to a link to your profile in the menu

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_profile_link' );
function my_nav_menu_profile_link($menu) {
    if (!is_user_logged_in())
        return $menu;
    else
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $user=$current_user->user_login ;
        $profilelink = '<li><a href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/">Your Profile</a></li>';
        $menu = $menu . $profilelink;
        return $menu;
 
}

@process_of_illumination

if you are really using bbpress v1 then it wouldnt work.

i think that shortcode is only for the newer bbpress v2 wordpress plugin

[Robkk]

@dmclean

well its tough on my side too since you have a paid theme (the free version doesnt have the show excerpt option) , so i cant just tell you step by step because i have to look at the code of your current theme.

you can create me an admin account ( i need to go to the backend and see your theme files in the wordpress theme editor ) , then send me the login details through my email so i can get this done for you.

Okay, so kind of resurrecting my old thread here, but with good reason, because something has gone wrong with the code. Today, I promoted someone (the first person to be promoted to this rank) Artisan, which I’ve hand coded into my functions.php file.

The code:

/* bbPress Custom Roles */
function add_custom_role( $bbp_roles ) {

$bbp_roles['bbp_craftsman'] = array(
'name' => 'Craftsman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['bbp_journeyman'] = array(
'name' => 'Journeyman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['bbp_adept'] = array(
'name' => 'Adept',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
$bbp_roles['bbp_artisan'] = array(
'name' => 'Artisan',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as moderator
);
$moderator = bbp_get_moderator_role() ;
$bbp_roles[$moderator] = array(
'name' => 'Councilman',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_moderator_role() ) // the same capabilities as moderator
);
$keymaster = bbp_get_keymaster_role() ;
$bbp_roles[$keymaster] = array(
'name' => 'Advisor',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_keymaster_role() ) // the same capabilities as keymaster
);
$apprentice = bbp_get_participant_role() ;
$bbp_roles[$apprentice] = array(
'name' => 'Apprentice',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);
return $bbp_roles;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_dynamic_roles', 'add_custom_role', 1 );
/* bbPress Custom Roles */

As you can see, the way I’ve written it, I had Artisan and Councilman both as moderator roles. This is really how I need it set up.

Currently I’ve adjusted Artisan to:

$bbp_roles['bbp_artisan'] = array(
'name' => 'Artisan',
'capabilities' => bbp_get_caps_for_role( bbp_get_participant_role() ) // the same capabilities as participants
);

Because for whatever reason, when set to moderator, she could not see our forums at all.

Is there a way to have two moderator ranks, or can there only be one? If so, where have I gone wrong with this? I’m quite confused over it now.

Thanks in advance, you guys have been so helpful through all of my learning. 🙂

[project_subdomain]

just noticed the unlogical doubled url in the code above, but my other tries like for example

$id = bb_get_user_id();
$user = bb_get_username();
$nicename = bb_get_user_nicename('$id','$user');

header('Location: http://domain.com/forums/users/'.$nicename);

also should have a mistake.

[project_subdomain]

[WP 4.1.1
bbp 2.5.6]

For creating a navigation menu I need to redirect pages to the bbpress profile url as well as to their default options urls. These are domain.com/forums/users/HERE-COMES-THE-USERNAME for showing profile and domain.com/forums/users/HERE-COMES-THE-USERNAME/HERE-COMES-SELECTED-OPTION for selected options.

I tried several ways with code like this on the page’s template file for the redirection to the profile but nothing worked yet.

<?php /*  
Template Name: show user profile
*/ 

$name= bbp_user_profile_url(bbp_get_current_user_id() );

header('Location: http://domain.com/forums/users/'.$name);
exit();

?>

Thanks for helping!

[Dmclean]

I’m uncomfortable changing the theme code with the explanations on the link that was given. Can you be more specific as to what I need to do? Thanks!

[Robin W]

1.
The following if added to your functions file will add fields, you can alter the coding as needed

//add code for adding first and last name to registration

//1. Add a new form element...
    add_action('register_form','myplugin_register_form');
    function myplugin_register_form (){
        $first_name = ( isset( $_POST['first_name'] ) ) ? $_POST['first_name']: '';
		$last_name = ( isset( $_POST['last_name'] ) ) ? $_POST['last_name']: '';
        ?>
		<p>
		<label for="first_name"><?php _e('First Name  as people call you eg Dave','mydomain') ?><br />
                <input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" class="input" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($first_name)); ?>" size="25" /></label>
        </p>
		<p>
            <label for="last_name"><?php _e('Last Name','mydomain') ?><br />
                <input type="text" name="last_name" id="last_name" class="input" value="<?php echo esc_attr(stripslashes($last_name)); ?>" size="25" /></label>
        </p>
        <?php
    }

    //2. Add validation. In this case, we make sure first_name is required.
    add_filter('registration_errors', 'myplugin_registration_errors', 10, 3);
    function myplugin_registration_errors ($errors, $sanitized_user_login, $user_email) {

        if ( empty( $_POST['first_name'] ) )
            $errors->add( 'first_name_error', __('<strong>ERROR</strong>: You must include a first name.','mydomain') );
		if ( empty( $_POST['last_name'] ) )
            $errors->add( 'last_name_error', __('<strong>ERROR</strong>: You must include a last name.','mydomain') );
			

        return $errors;
    }

    //3. Finally, save our extra registration user meta.
    add_action('user_register', 'myplugin_user_register');
    function myplugin_user_register ($user_id) {
        if ( isset( $_POST['first_name'] ) )
            update_user_meta($user_id, 'first_name', $_POST['first_name']);
		if ( isset( $_POST['last_name'] ) )
            update_user_meta($user_id, 'last_name', $_POST['last_name']);
    }

Plenty of captcha plugins – just google ‘wordpress plugin captcha’

If you’d like to specify your req’s further, I’ll try to help.

2. no need to change theme, just add the following to your css file

.site-content .entry-header, .site-content .entry-content, .site-content .entry-summary, .site-content .entry-meta, .page-content {
  max-width: 100% !important;
}

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[Robin W]

that is entirely intentional – it lets keymasters see IP addresses to spot people who might post under several names.

you could hide it with css

.bbp-reply-ip {
display : none !important ;
}

or amend line 512 of loop-single-reply

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-single-reply.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-single-reply.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

then take out line 51 – you may also need to do this to loop-single-topic

or use a filter to get rid of it

function remove_ip () {
$author_ip = '' ;
return $author_ip ;
}

add_filter( 'bbp_get_author_ip', 'remove_ip');

[Robin W]

sorry capabilities are forum wide, and lots of code would be needed to make them forum specific.

I can’t immediately think of an alternate solution

[redwolf83]

Thanks, that is very helpful, but it change roles globally. I need it for a specific forum.

• is possible call these actions to an existing role?
• and is possible call them only for a specific forum

I tried this but seems not work…. :/

// BBPRESS ROLES CONFIG FOR SPECIFIC FORUM

if ( bbp_forum_title(); == "My Forum Title" ) {

	function add_role_caps_filter( $caps, $role )
	{
    	/* Only filter for roles we are interested in! */
    	if( $role == 'participant' )
        	$caps = custom_capabilities( $role );
 
	    return $caps;
	}
 
	add_filter( 'bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'add_role_caps_filter', 10, 2 );
 
	function custom_capabilities( $role )
	{
    	switch ( $role )
    	{
 
        	/* Capabilities for 'tutor' role */
        	case 'participant':
           	 return array(
                	// Primary caps

Thank you for your reply. I have “bbpress” folder in MY_THEME folder. I added a functions.php file in that bbpress folder, and inserted your code, and saved. but nothing happened 🙁 Am I doing it right?

[Robkk]

@snecz

i gave you two shortcodes for each instead

place the two functions into your child themes functions.php or add the snippets to a functionality plugin.

[bbp-topic-stats]

function rk_bbp_topic_stats() {
    $stats = bbp_get_statistics();
    echo "<dl role='main'><dt>Topics</dt><dd><strong>";
    echo esc_html( $stats['topic_count'] );
    echo "</strong></dd></dl>";
}

add_shortcode('bbp-topic-stats', 'rk_bbp_topic_stats'); 

[bbp-reply-stats]

function rk_bbp_reply_stats() {
    $stats = bbp_get_statistics();
    echo "<dl role='main'><dt>Replies</dt><dd><strong>";
    echo esc_html( $stats['reply_count'] );
    echo "</strong></dd></dl>";
}

add_shortcode('bbp-reply-stats', 'rk_bbp_reply_stats');  

[Robkk]

@sina_mech

add this into your child themes functions.php file or put the snippet in a functionality plugin.

function rk_new_topic_button() {
	echo '<a href="#new-topic-0" class="bbp-new-topic-button button btn input[type="button"]" >New Topic</a>';
}

add_action('bbp_template_before_topics_loop','rk_new_topic_button');

[Robkk]

add this to your child themes functions.php file or insert this snippet into a functionality plugin and all links posted to your forum would just return plain text.

remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_make_clickable', 4    );	
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_make_clickable', 4    );

Either comment out the code section using standard PHP syntax or simply remove that chunk of code 🙂

If your site is that busy, you really should have a test site

[Dan & Jennifer]

Hi there!

We’re trying to move our forums from a custom Q&A platform to bbPress… very glad there is now an importer! 🙂

So I copied example.php to myimport.php, changed the class name, and updated the tables/columns that apply (the ones that exist in the old database).

And ran the import…

But I keep running into import errors for fields that don’t apply as they don’t exist in the other database, like forums_table.the_reply_count

So for a field that just does not exist in the old database, what’s the proper syntax for “ignore this”? 🙂

For example, this one…

// Forum topic count (Stored in postmeta)
		$this->field_map[] = array(
			'from_tablename' => 'forums_table',
			'from_fieldname' => 'the_topic_count',
			'to_type'        => 'forum',
			'to_fieldname'   => '_bbp_topic_count'
		);

I looked for this on the importer codex page, but just don’t see it. 🙂

Thanks!
Dan

[snecz]

Thanks Robkk. [bbp-stats] is working. But I need topic count and replies count separately and in different places.
So I’ve tried with <?php echo esc_html( $stats['topic_count'] ); ?> and <?php echo esc_html( $stats['reply_count'] ); ?> but this code doesn’t work on my home page.
Why is that?

[andrew55]

I recently moved our bbPress installation from one folder to another. Everything seemed to go well, accept when I loggged in, my admin account lost all admin privileges.

Fortunately, I have another second test bbPress installation and could see what admin status looks like in phpmyadmin.

So, in the first installation, using phpmyadmin, in the metavalue of the wp_usermeta table, I changed:

a:2:{s:10:"subscriber";i:1;s:15:"bbp_participant";b:1;}

to…

a:2:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;s:13:"bbp_keymaster";b:1;}

It seems to work. My admin account has admin privileges.

Now I understand the administrator and bbp_keymaster in the string, but what about the rest of the characters? For example, I changed s:10 to s:13.

Is this OK?

I’m just not sure what these other characters mean and what they need to be.

Thanks for any help.
