see if this custom CSS can help

.widget_display_topics .avatar {
float:none;
}

[Robkk]

try this CSS

.bbpress .vcard .avatar {
position: relative;
left: auto;
top: auto;
}

Is wp_mail getting called at least?

[jeroenkosterr]

Already figured it out!

Here is the code i used:

<?php

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        global $current_user;
        get_currentuserinfo();
		
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
  echo '<b>Welcome,</b> ' . $current_user->user_login . ''; 
  echo ' ';
  echo get_avatar( $current_user->ID, 20 );
} else {
	echo '<b>Welcome,</b> Guest! <a href="http://hardstyle-united.nl/register/">Register</a> or ';
}
?> 
	<?php wp_loginout(); ?>

great -besy way to learn, I knew nothing of bbpress two years ago !

Come back if you get stuck, and if I can help with quick pointers I will.

In the spirit of community, it would also be great if you shard the solution if you get there, this is occasionally asked for, and I’ll add it to the codex.

key bit is on the topics widget for most recent replies, which you would copy and use

// Order by most recent replies
case ‘freshness’ :
$topics_query = array(
‘post_type’ => bbp_get_topic_post_type(),
‘post_parent’ => $settings[‘parent_forum’],
‘posts_per_page’ => (int) $settings[‘max_shown’],
‘post_status’ => array( bbp_get_public_status_id(), bbp_get_closed_status_id() ),
‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => true,
‘no_found_rows’ => true,
‘meta_key’ => ‘_bbp_last_active_time’,
‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’,
‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
);
break;

that’s where the meta key bit is, so if your plugin stores as ‘_rating’, then that’s what would go in the meta_key line.

[jeroenkosterr]

I am not searching for a plugin actually. Need the php code to show these options.
Maybe its a wordpress thing or maybe its a BBpress thing or maybe both.

[Robin W]

Most replied to is already in the topics widget (as most popular), so it would be nicking that query code.

It would not be tons of code to do a rating, as long as the rating system stores the score in post_meta, then a simple query with that meta would do it.

Just that I haven’t got time to code it at the moment.

suggest you

a) look at bbpress rating plugins
b) check that they store scores in post_meta
c) either code yourself (see bbpress/includes/common/widgets) for the widget code,
d) or pay someone to do it http://jobs.wordpress.net/

I’ve been struggling for a while now to get the forum import tool to run efficiently. I notice that for some forums, the mysql query code is supplied, but for others it is not. It seems that the process would run a lot faster if I performed the entire operation in mysql instead of using the import tool. I have ~2M posts I need to import. Does anyone have the MYSQL queries for converting Xenforo to BbPress?

Thanks!

[jtstables]

OK, working on it.

Two weeks ago you helped me with an issue under the topic, “Stop users from making topics”.

You had me to change the following code:

<?php

/**
* Single Forum Content Part
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/

?>

<div id=”bbpress-forums”>

<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

<?php bbp_forum_subscription_link(); ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_template_before_single_forum’ ); ?>

<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘form’, ‘protected’ ); ?>

<?php else : ?>

<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>

<?php if ( bbp_has_forums() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘forums’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( !bbp_is_forum_category() && bbp_has_topics() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘pagination’, ‘topics’ ); ?>

<?php elseif ( !bbp_is_forum_category() ) : ?>

<?php bbp_get_template_part( ‘feedback’, ‘no-topics’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_template_after_single_forum’ ); ?>

</div>

Could this have caused the problem when they upgraded WP? LIke I said the forum worked great until the upgrade.

Thanks

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[Robin W]

why not just have one form, referenced by a button at the top.

function bsp_create_new_topica () {
	 $text='Create New Topic' ;
	if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() && !bbp_is_forum_category() ) echo '<div style="text-align: center;">  <a href ="#topic">'.$text.'</div>' ;
	}

function bsp_create_new_topicb () {
	echo '<a name="topic"></a>' ;
	}

	
add_action ( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'bsp_create_new_topica' ) ;
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_form', 'bsp_create_new_topicb' ) ;

(not tested as its cut down code from one of my plugins)

adds a link which lets you add a link to the top of the page which sends you to the bottom, which you can easily make a button.

add to your functions file https://codex.bbpress.org/functions-files-and-child-themes-explained/

or take the guts into the template you’re amending.

You could probably send it to a collapsing div at the bottom if you tinker

That way you only have one form

[Robin W]

my shortcode

[bsp-display-topic-index show=’100′]

in

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

will let you change the number displayed, but only one page I’m afraid !

[Robin W]

ok, I’ve just finished coding a ‘latest activity’ widget that should do what you want.

I’ve added it to my bbp-style-pack

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

which you can load to the site and just use (there’s lots of other stuff in there), or if you’re code savvy, you can fork it form includes/widgets.php into your functions file

Hope you enjoy it !

[WilRC]

I ran into this code:`
<?php
function fix_pagination($args) {
global $wp_query,$bbp;
$max_pages = $bbp->topic_query->max_num_pages;
$page = $bbp->topic_query->paged;
$mybase = get_permalink($wp_query->post->ID);
$args = array (
‘base’ => $mybase.$wp_rewrite->pagination_base.’/%#%/’,
‘format’ => ”,
‘total’ => $max_pages,
‘current’ => $page,
‘prev_text’ => ‘←’,
‘next_text’ => ‘→’,
‘mid_size’ => 1
);
return $args;
}
add_filter(‘bbp_topic_pagination’,’fix_pagination’); ?>`
No luck, pagination dissapeard with this code.

[WilRC]

When using shortcode bbp-topic-index with other shortcode (bbp-forum-index)pagination returning url is different than using topic-index by freshness.
=> with multiple shortcodes: ../forums/page/2/
=> with topics by freshness: ../forum/forumname/page/2/
How to solve this?

[WilRC]

The default is 15, you can changes this in the forumsettings to what ever you like.
The shortcode doesn’t support a parameter.

[Robkk]

shortcodes do not post in bbPress

use this plugin

Hello,

I would like to add 2 more textarea fields in “Create New Topic” page in addition to an original textarea of bbPress.

I added following code to function.php, but an original textarea of bbPress was disappeared and couldn’t become submit, error of “ERROR: Your topic cannot be empty. “.

——————————-
add_action ( ‘bbp_theme_before_topic_form_content’, ‘bbp_extra_fields’);
function bbp_extra_fields() {
$value = get_post_meta( bbp_get_topic_id(), ‘bbp_extra_field1’, true);
echo ‘<label for=”bbp_extra_field1”>textarea1</label><br>’;
echo “<textarea name=’bbp_extra_field1′ rows=’10’ cols=’78’ value='”.$value.”‘></p>”;

$value = get_post_meta( bbp_get_topic_id(), ‘bbp_extra_field2’, true);
echo ‘<label for=”bbp_extra_field1″>textarea2</label><br>’;
echo “<textarea name=’bbp_extra_field2′ rows=’10’ cols=’78’ value='”.$value.”‘></p>”;
}

add_action ( ‘bbp_new_topic’, ‘bbp_save_extra_fields’, 10, 1 );
add_action ( ‘bbp_edit_topic’, ‘bbp_save_extra_fields’, 10, 1 );

function bbp_save_extra_fields($topic_id=0) {
if (isset($_POST) && $_POST[‘bbp_extra_field1’]!=”)
update_post_meta( $topic_id, ‘bbp_extra_field1’, $_POST[‘bbp_extra_field1’] );
if (isset($_POST) && $_POST[‘bbp_extra_field2’]!=”)
update_post_meta( $topic_id, ‘bbp_extra_field2’, $_POST[‘bbp_extra_field2’] );
}

add_action(‘bbp_template_before_replies_loop’, ‘bbp_show_extra_fields’);
function bbp_show_extra_fields() {
$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
$value1 = get_post_meta( $topic_id, ‘bbp_extra_field1’, true);
$value2 = get_post_meta( $topic_id, ‘bbp_extra_field2’, true);

echo “textarea1: “.$value1.”<br>”;
echo “textarea2: “.$value2.”<br>”;
}
——————————-

What I want to do is;

・There are 3 of textarea fields in “Create New Topic” page.
・After submitted, the content being input in 3 textarea are shown in 1 original posted textarea like,

<p>
content of textarea1
</p>
<p>
content of textarea2
</p>
<p>
content of textarea3
</p>

If anyone know it, please help me.

Thanks,

[critchy]

Did anybody find a way to make this work, I have a theme with exactly the same issue and cannot seem to find the correct page template to hook into. Is there another way to solve this? The forum main index and subsequent bbpress pages all display correct just minus the search box and login links etc. If I use the short code they do display correctly.

[mvaneijgen]

@3sixty would really like to see the code you made 4 years ago.

[bandormen]

Hi,

I started to setup my first forum.
For me it is necessary to share files.
I’m using the WordpRess Download Manager PlugIn
https://wordpress.org/plugins/download-manager/
to share files and I have the following problem:

I would like to use the Short-Codes (e.g. [wpdm_package id=’120′])
of the Download Manager to insert files into a Topic, but ist doesn’t work.
The Topic displays only the commands and doesn’t display the designed download buttons.

Is anyone able to help? Or should I use an other PlugIn to share files?

Thx for your help.

[Robin W]

You would add the titles in between

eg

title a

[shortcode]

title b

[shortcode]

and use the page styling to make the titles header, or bold or whatever

The ‘forum’ is a column header

[Stuart Neilson]

Is it possible to have more than one create a topic form on the forum page?

I’d like one at the top and bottom of the forum list, i’ve added a second

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic' ); ?>

to the top of content-single-forum.php

They are both hidden inside collapsing divs which are toggled by a “new topic” button, the first form at the top works fine but the second at the bottom shows no quicktags-toolbar.

What do I need to do so that both work?

I also have an issue where if I press tab from inside the topic title field of the first form it moves me down to the second forms “wp-editor-area”

[mhairilongmuir]

Hi there,

I have been trying to follow the instruction on your page: http://codex.bbpress.org/modal-login-in-a-menu/

I searched online and via the wordpress dashboard for the plugin mentioned ‘wp modal login’ and I can’t find it?

If not, does anyone have the link for it, or instructions for another one that will work with bbPress? (I’m using the most recent version of WordPress, bbPress and Canvas theme)

Many thanks

[miglaraujo]

Hi there,

I’ve been working around bbpress for the past 5 hours, and i’m now using the plugin bbpress addition shortcodes to build my forum.

This is my forum:
http://invaderz.pt/community/?page_id=29

As you can see, i have multiple forum indexes, but they all have the same name. But i need them to have different names from each other.
Is there anyway to do this?

Thank you for you time,
Miguel
