Problems with other forum scripts are (if we forget about WP integration for a moment) like this, and i have seen it more than often.

People come to forum, relax, discussing, forget about time. But they forget about main portal too. It doesnt exist for them. I have seen many popular and crowded forums and people behind main portal lose money, time, energy to write editorials and news. Nobody is reading this, nobody “knows” about portal when they are on forum. And all try to make other forum scripts look a like something near CMS are madness, better not to go this way.

Here you have old brother WordPress, so popular in the world. You discuss in the forum, suddenly sidebar widget display new article from portal, as it says “did you forget to read news”. Just one example of many of them.

All is here, all exist to make bbPress (or BuddyPress) most popular forum script. To follow steps of WordPress.
Smart core coders, wish exist, older brother WordPress is there to push bbPress in the front of other forum scripts.

[Stagger Lee]

I am not saying all this because of me. I have now so many (tested) snippets and tweaks i can make bbPress more advanced than phpBB3 forum. I am thankfull to core guys, and I am not complaining.

Integration (affinity better to say) with WP core is so amazing it just blow minds.

I am saying this because of core coders guys. It is pitty lose hours, days, weeks and last nobody or very few people use bbPress.

ok,

firstly if you just create a page for your forum and use the shortcode

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Display a single forums topics. eg. [bbp-single-forum id=32]

then just that forum will be displayed.

to change the breadcrumb display – see

Layout and functionality – Examples you can use

[Robin W]

@stagger-lee

no problem in your post – and followed it right up until

I am talking about plain old CSS2/CSS3. No database queries, and you “sell” your product/code.

I didn’t understand that part – can you explain further !

[Robin W]

Is there something that I’m missing?

possibly.

but the rest of the codes don’t work.

This again isn’t really helpful. What do you mean by ‘don’t work’ – nothing shows? something shows but it is not what you want? a picture would be useful.

I cannot help unless I get detailed problems 🙂

[DevilWoIf]

Sorry. I mean, I tried the shortcodes in my page but the forums aren’t separating the way I need them to like in my picture. The codes dont seem to work… I added the stat code that shows how many users and that works but the rest of the codes don’t work.

I put the correct forum ID and everything and they weren’t showing. Is there something that I’m missing?

[Stagger Lee]

First, for a whole week now I am collecting, testing, verifiyng snippets around the web, most from this forum, and make my own collection. To have it all on one place on localhost. Stop making it, it never ends. 🙂 bbPress is so, so, so manageable and easy to add all functions other forum software have.

Second, you won hearts of coders and developers. What about WP/bbPress beginners ?
As you already lose your time coding make some new theme for this support forum. To make it as demo for bbPress, to make it shine and stick out.

There is a reason why WP holds so much of web, and bbPress is not in this league.
Dont get me wrong, I read your topic about complicating things and rised support with new functions/options. I am talking about plain old CSS2/CSS3. No database queries, and you “sell” your product/code.

So, thanks and apologies if I offended someone.

[Matthias]

I put the whole code in the editor. But I get the same error…

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

[Robin W]

I know nothing about visual composer, but a quick google produces

http://codecanyon.net/item/bbpress-shortcodes-for-visual-composer/9073637

which suggests that standard shortcodes don’t work?

[Robin W]

my plugin

bbp additional shortcodes

has a code

[display-forum-index forum= ‘2932, 2921′ breadcrumb=’no’ search=’no’] Displays the selected forum indexes

which lets you organise the order of forums

[Matthias]

I think we are close, but it gives me an error in this line
echo “Replies only viewable for logged in users”;

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘only‘ (T_STRING), expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’
Seems like it uses the message as code?

[webplayer]

I am creating a page using visual composer and making it have tabs. One of those tabs is forum, and when I embed a bbpress shortcode in that tab and publish the page. bbpress breaks our of visual composer and takes over the whole page. Any idea for why this is happening?

[cyclesha]

Probably the same problem, however, I have the code.

[Stagger Lee]

Old topic but if it can help someone. Code is tested and still works, just formatting of code on this forum is wrong.

add_filter('bbp_current_author_ip', 'my_anonymize_ip');

function my_anonymize_ip($retval) {
$retval = '0.0.0.0';
return $retval;
}

[peter-hamilton]

I had no knowledge of PHP when I started a few months ago and made it by cutting and pasting, copying and changing plugin codes, lot of topicsand tutorials read and many sleepless nights.

Deffo a lot of work but I hope it is paying off.

I have a dummy account for people who want to see members only functions like a “like” system and lots of profile functions

username : demo
password : demo

Now working on @media queries so it is easier to use on mobiles

[Stagger Lee]

A lot of work ? Looks very nice. I had to check source code to see if you are cheating. 🙂

[Stagger Lee]

This seem to works. Or seems to work, I never know difference.

add_filter('bbp_before_get_reply_author_role_parse_args', 'ntwb_bbpress_reply_css_role' );
function ntwb_bbpress_reply_css_role() {

	$role = strtolower( bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) ) );
	$args['class']  = 'bbp-author-role bbp-author-role-' . $role;
	$args['before'] = '';
	$args['after']  = '';

	return $args;
}

add_filter('bbp_before_get_topic_author_role_parse_args', 'ntwb_bbpress_topic_css_role' );
function ntwb_bbpress_topic_css_role() {

	$role = strtolower( bbp_get_user_display_role( bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ) ) );
	$args['class']  = 'bbp-author-role bbp-author-role-' . $role;
	$args['before'] = '';
	$args['after']  = '';

	return $args;
}

[Robin W]

you could try something like the following in your function file (not tested)

add_action  ('bbp_template_after_replies_loop', 'bbp_breadcrumb' ); 

[Matthias]

Hm, it shows this error…
Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function 'bb_auth_reply_view' not found or invalid function name in ..../blog/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 213

[Robin W]

I thought I can do it with a filter in functions.php.

unfortunately not that easy if you don’t want to show the replies, as the loop-replies file has no easy filter to hook to !

yes you can put this in your main theme, just be aware itr will get overwritten by any theme update, so keep a good note of what you did, so you can do it again if needed.

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-replies.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/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/loop-replies.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

so that gets the right file

I wish I had time to write a solution for you for free, but I’m tied up in other work.

but basically you want to look at lines

<?php while ( bbp_replies() ) : bbp_the_reply(); ?>

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

You want to stop it getting the template loop-single-reply if it is after pos 1, so something like

<?php while ( bbp_replies() ) : bbp_the_reply(); ?>

<?php // if user is not logged in and is the first reply
if( !is_user_logged_in() && $rep_position =2 ) {
echo  "Replies only viewable for logged in users";
}
// if user is not logged in and is after the forst reply, then don't do naything
elseif( !is_user_logged_in() && $rep_position >2 ) {
}
//otherwise carry on as usual
else bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'single-reply' ); ?>

[Matthias]

I thought I can do it with a filter in functions.php.
Don’t want to setup a child theme for this.
Is it possible to do it with just adding a additonal bbpress file to my theme?

My php-code knowledge is just search, copy and paste 😉

Thanks
Matthias

[Robin W]

the filter is just applying to the reply content.

You probably want to amend a template – How php code/wordpress knowledgable are you?

[Matthias]

I found a nice code, that shows the first message in a thread for everyone.
Answer are shown only to logged in users.

Perfekt so far.
BUT the code shows in every answer the same message for non logged users
“Replies only viewable for logged in users”

Does anyone know, how to change the code, to show only one template-notice
“Replies only viewable for logged in users” instead?

function bb_auth_reply_view( $reply_id ) {
$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id( $reply_id );

// Check if password is required
if ( post_password_required( $reply_id ) )
return get_the_password_form();

$content = get_post_field( 'post_content', $reply_id );

// first topic reply shouldn't be hiding
$rep_position = bbp_get_reply_position($reply_id);

// if user is not logged in and not the first post topic
if( !is_user_logged_in() && $rep_position > 1 ) {
return "Replies only viewable for logged in users";
} else {
// return normal
return $content;
}

}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bb_auth_reply_view' );

Thanks
Matthias
