never write code whilst your other half is waiting to go out !

ok, this works

function remove_sep ($args) {
$args['before'] = '' ;
return $args ;
}

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_forum_subscribe_link_parse_args', 'remove_sep') ;

On your larger point, there are a lot of resources, but it takes a lot of practice to get good at PHP, and to understand how any plugin works which is the size that bbpress is.

Generally it is quicker to ask a question on here, than spend hours delving into bbpress. But if you start wanting to really tailor it, then the step by step guides and other documentation will try and get you into how to go about finding code within bbpress.

I know nothing of php 18months ago (I’m just a humble bbpress user – I didn’t write any of it!), and now have several plugins for bbpress to add functionality, so it is quire do-able.

I’ve tried to get much of my learning into the documentation, so have a look round

Hello,

I really needed this feature so I dug into the code and came up with a solution that doesn’t modify core files. The solution hooks the query pre_get_posts and uses the buddypress ‘plugins’ template file to catch and display the group sub forums.

This probably isn’t the most efficient solution but it seems to work in my environment. I’ll post back if I notice any issues as more subforums are created.

Here are the functions – place in your theme’s functions.php. I also included my plugins.php file also.

// functions.php

//Filters bbpress forum permalink if on a group forum page.  Keeps users from being redirected to sitewide forums
function buddyboss_forum_permalink($link){
	global $wpdb, $bp;
	if (strpos($link, "/forums/forum/")){

			$forum = substr($link, strpos($link, "/forum/") + 7);   
			$forums = explode("/",$forum);
			$args=array(
				'post_type' => 'forum',
				'name' => $forums[0],
			);
			$root_forum = get_posts( $args );
			$group_id = $wpdb->get_var(
				" SELECT group_id
				  FROM wp_bp_groups_groupmeta
				  WHERE meta_key = 'forum_id' AND meta_value = '". serialize(array($root_forum[0]->ID)) ."'"
			);
			if (isset($group_id)){
				$group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $group_id ) );
				unset($forums[0]);
				$forums = implode("/",$forums);
				$permalink = bp_get_group_forum_permalink($group)."/".$forums;
			} else {
				$permalink = $link;

	}
	return $permalink;

function buddyboss_topic_permalink($link){

you can place this code into your child themes functions.php file

/**
 * Include bbPress 'topic' custom post type in WordPress' search results
 */
function ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search( $topic_search ) {
	$topic_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
	return $topic_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_topic_cpt_search' );

/**
 * Include bbPress 'reply' custom post type in WordPress' search results
 */
function ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search( $reply_search ) {
	$reply_search['exclude_from_search'] = false;
	return $reply_search;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'ntwb_bbp_reply_cpt_search' );

got the code from here, i see you also commented on it to 🙂

[Robkk]

why didnt you use the phpbb to bbPress importer in the bbPress plugin.

https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/

[MaxLiao]

First of all, thank you for the response. I really appreciate your help.

Unfortunately, that code did not work; the separator is still there. You indicated that was a possibility, so no worries.

Since this doesn’t seem like a matter of just finding a | in some code and removing it or adding a display:none; to the CSS to remove it, is there a resource that would better help me understand how this is being accomplished? I would hate to have to ask this same question every time I want to add or remove a separator. My PHP skills exist but they are weak. Anything to help strengthen them in this regard would be fantastic.

[Robkk]

if you were here I’d give you a big kiss.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh , your welcome i guess?? haha

about it not being updated in over a year , the plugin is very simple it basically just outputs a shortcode at the bottom of blog posts.

and also that this functionality is going to be implemented in the future release of bbPress.

so when the update comes and says bbPress for WordPress comments in the changelog of the plguin. you can pretty much just remove the topics for posts plugin from there on and just use bbPress.

[Robkk]

add this anywhere you can add custom css and see if this works

.bbpress .container {
max-width:100%;
}

if it doesnt try this also

.bbpress .container {
max-width:100% !important;
}

[Robkk]

yeah you shouldnt edit the core files.

i see there is additional quotation marks in your code maybe replacing it with this will help.

<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '90' ) ) ); ?></span>

@skisma

this topic is for changing the role names background color.

like for example this site has them with a gray background

if i use the code snippet above i can have blue for participants , red for keymasters , and yellow for moderators and so on for each role just by applying a little CSS.

make a new topic and ill check out doing that in the next few days when i setup my custom cpu up all right with a local dev area and not use linux anymore.

[Robkk]

@skisma i think that was just a mockup from this website in the link below

and the author of this topic just stumbled upon it.

http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?630149-bbPress-theme-project-Design-wireframe-UI/page3

and since this is from 2009 it is most likely the bbpress standalone version 1.0x and such

but you could accomplish close to the same result using wp-usersonline plugin and also the inbuilt stats shortcode and just a little bit of CSS.

create a new topic about this though.

[Robkk]

untick topic/reply edit logging in settings>forums to disable the logging of future posts.

and add this CSS anywhere you can add custom CSS to hide the edit logs on any existing posts.

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content ul.bbp-topic-revision-log, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content ul.bbp-topic-revision-log, 
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content ul.bbp-reply-revision-log {
display: none;
}

[Robin W]

quick reply as I’m on my way out, so untested, but put the following in your functions file

function remove_sep ($args) {
$args['before' ] = '' ;
Return $args ;
}

add_filter ('bbp_before_get_topic_subscription_link_parse_args', 'remove_sep') ;

If it doesn’t work, come back and I’ll do it properly and test it for you !

Hi,
I try this code
add_filter( 'auto_update_translation', '__return_false' );

but this code not works, today my language files are overwritten.

Why?

Thanks.

[AlexandruIoan]

Try to use a plugin, search for ” statistics plugin or who’s online plugin ” or use this new short code : [bbp-statistics] .
You welcome!

[Lumartist]

Okay,

I did install a complete fresh wordpress with only bbpress. Then I added

function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
    $args['tinymce'] = true;
    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );

to the functions.php of “Twenty Fourteen”. And again, the same problem as described above. I have to click row one. If I click below it nothing happens.

But – I also found out, that it is a problem of “Chrome” only. Everything is working fine in Firefox and others. Here the cursor jumps to row one if I click into the text field.

So I guess it might not be a problem of bbpress… Not sure.

Any Ideas?

Btw: As soon as I add links into this answer it disappears…

[dice2dice]

I have found some more information that may be relevant. My forums still exist, here’s one http://whichinvestmenttrust.com/forums/topic/our-top-10-tips-on-where-to-start-as-a-new-investor/

The option to select a bbPress forum is gone when I’m creating a post but even if I use a short code such as [bbp-single-forum id=8671] the forum still fails to appear in the post.

I can’t figure out what’s stopping this from working, what is blocking it?

[Lumartist]

Okay,

I did a few tests. The Problem also appears if I enable the visual (tab) editor via functions.php, like described here: BBPress Codex, and even if I use this Plugin: bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab

This is what it looks like on the Website: directupload.net Image

And this is how it looks like in chrome dev tools: directupload.net Image

Can’t believe that I am the only one with this problem… Or am I doing somethings wrong?

[Tecca]

It’s likely inheriting the bullets from your WordPress style.css rather than something coming from the bbPress stylesheet. So what you can do is add something like the below CSS to your bbPress stylesheet.

#bbpress-forums li {
    list-style-type: none;
}

That will likely remove bullets from forum posts as well, but it’s hard to get specific without seeing the site itself.

Hopefully that takes you in the right direction.

[jmodine]

I guess I should have tested that code before I posted it. This gets it in the footer but I cant seem to get the blue bullets this way (although they are there) I even tried placing the

tag first just in case it needed that which didn’t do it. Also I cant seem to adjust the font size in the footer either. So the table boxes wont increase to fill the footer. I will play with it. See if i can’t come up with a better solution

Hello everyone,

I am trying to change the tinymce toolbar for the forum (reply & topic). To do so I added this code to the form-reply.php and the same (just different context) for form-topic.php:

<?php bbp_the_content( array( 
                            'context' 		=> 'reply',                            
                            'media_buttons' => false,
                            'wpautop' 		=> true,
                            'quicktags'		=> true,
                            'teeny'			=> false,
                            'tinymce'       => array(
                                'toolbar1'      => 'bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,alignleft,aligncenter,alignright,bullist,numlist,blockquote,link,unlink,forecolor,backcolor,undo,redo,removeformat'
                            ),
                        ) ); ?>

Everything is working so far, except a small detail:

I am not able to click into the textarea/editor, so that the cursor jumps into the first line. Instead I have to click the first line, which is working.

I was able to isolte the problem, which is coming from this part of the code:

'tinymce'       => array(
                                'toolbar1'      => 'bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,alignleft,aligncenter,alignright,bullist,numlist,blockquote,link,unlink,forecolor,backcolor,undo,redo,removeformat'

It also appears if I just add:

'tinymce' => true

I looks like that the syntax might be wrong, but I read a lot of guides, and in all the syntax was the same.

I also recognized, that there is a change in the source code, after I add that “tinymce” bit to the array.

After the changes the appears this code:

<p><br data-mce-bogus="1"></p>

—–

What I read is, that this problem occurs when tinymce is using a <textarea> – But I don’t know how to change that textarea to a div, which is recommended.

Anyone can help me on this?

Thank you for your help in advance!

[Robin W]

ok, so it sounds like a theme issue, so I googled ‘wordpress theme pinboard bbpress’ and got this

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-forum-homepage-displaying-oddly?replies=8

the advice is closed to perfect as this looks very strongly like your problem. The only issue might be that the page.php file has been changed in a later version and the lines might be slightly different.

Read this first for background

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

so try the following

1. copy page.php and rename it bbpress.php
2, edit the bbpress.php file
line 12:
<?php post_class(); ?>
to
<?php $classes=get_post_class(); echo str_replace(“twocol”, “onecol”, $classes); ?>
4. modify LOCAL forums.php line 18:
<?php the_content(); ?>
to
$content = get_the_content(); echo str_replace(“twocol”, “onecol”, $content); ?>
Save this file and reload it to your theme

As the link says, you should really put it into a child theme

Functions files and child themes – explained !

but either way keep a copy of it.

Come back if this isn’t clear

[robertosalemi]

Resolved.

	global $wp_admin_bar;
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('my-account-buddypress');
