Hi !
I tried making my forums page full-width, but didn’t manage, so if you could help, it would be great !
I’ve already read this page : https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#8-make-sure-bbpress-uses-the-page-template-we-want (but it didn’t really help me :/)

Here’s a short video to explain you exactly my problem : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ekrjb64GxA

Thanks a lot for helping, would be really great ! 🙂

Hello everyone !

I’m still using BBpress 1.2 and WordPress 4 breaks the integration. I founded this : https://foliovision.com/2014/09/wordpress-original-bbpress but when i try to add this :

return wp_validate_auth_cookie( $cookie, $scheme );

I’ve got a 500 error.

Anyone can help me for BBpress 1.2 ?

Thanks

[Robkk]

i got a 500 Internal Server Error checking it out.

but if it is just styling you should check out some links in the documentation.

Functions files and child themes – explained !

also reading more of the documentation wouldnt be bad.

you can first seperate the role , reply author name , and avatar.

i just put loop-single-reply.php into my child theme folder called bbpress

then i just remove this line in loop-single-reply.php

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>

and replace it with these three lines of code.
this code also puts the role above the avatar.

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array('show_role' => true, 'type' => 'role' ) ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false, 'type' => avatar , 'size' => auto ) ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'show_role' => false,'type' => 'name' ) ); ?>

and to have that sites kind of avatars you dont have a fixed width so the avatars size varies a little bit in height and width but it has a max width it never go bigger than.

to do that you would have to use this.

max-width and max-height are both 150px you can change that to whatever you want.

add this css whereever you can have custom css

bbpress.css in a child theme
child themes css
jetpacks custom css module
custom css plugin

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
    border: medium none;
    max-width: 150px;
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 12px auto 0px;
    float: none;
    max-height: 150px;
}

if you change your mind about having the varied avatar sizes
you can remove 'size' => auto in the avatar code. which would leave the default 80px
or change 'size' => auto to whatever number you want example 'size' => 60

Thanks for logging this issue. I had the same problem. I’ve solved it without PHP, just jQuery.

For what it’s worth, here’s what it looks like:

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    if (jQuery('#bbpress-forums')) {
        jQuery('.current_page_parent').toggleClass('current_page_parent').next().toggleClass('current_page_parent')
    }
});
</script>

It deselects the “current page” and selects the next one (which is the forum page, for me) as current. But only if #bbpress-forums is on the page.

I’ve added this to the footer.php file of my theme (GeneratePress), just before the </body> statement.

Hackish, but given that it’s noted as a bug it’ll do for now.

[Robin W]

forums is a virtual page – ie it doesn’t exist (not that pages really exist anyway!), and is not a ‘post ‘ in the wordpress sense of post

Rather than use the forums widget, why not just use a text widget, just put this in the content

<a href= "http://harveylakeland.com/forums">Community Forums </a>

[Robin W]

ok, just looked and all the pages look fine now except the forum page – is that correct?

bbpress should use the bbpress template for all the pages, so you can’t really css the individuals (or not without tons of code).

How are you going to the initial forum ? is it method 1 or 2 from the following

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

and whichever try the other !

Once you are consistently wrong on all pages, you can make it consistently right !

[Stephen Edgar]

Download the plugin I have here, unzip it and upload it to your site and activate. 🙂

Edit: Users will then be able to use HTML table tags, e.g. <table>, <td>, <tr> etc

[Stephen Edgar]

@bepyland If you set the bbPress import rows to 50,000 that would be one single query, it would not work though unless you had one amazing MySQL installation. 😉

What the “rows” value means is how many topics or replies for each single query should be imported at a time, the default is 100, so when the importer is running each single query will import 100 topics at a time.

WordPress itself, and then bbPress also make queries along the way so just counting only bbPress import is not the only calculation needed.

Your best bet is to create a test site to test the import before migrating this to your “live” site:

i think its really like making a plugin for wordress except you use bbpress’s hooks
but i havent gone in too deep in knowing how to create a plugin.

this plugin helps on finding all of bbpress’s hooks
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-visual-hooks/

and im sure information in documentation will help.

Codex

heres some information that i found real quick that i think could help.

Plugins

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 4

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 5

if you need anymore help create a new topic titled “Need Help on bbpress plugin development”

and maybe robin or stephen can help from there.

robin already has tons of plugins made for bbpress
and stephen is one of the core developers

[bertusschoeman]

Hey Robin, thanks so much! The code you supplied me with alters the main forum page a bit (the page that we do not want to chage, but use as a model for the topic and discussion pages) and leaves the topic (http://secularsociety.co.za/forum/forum/sass-general) and discussion pages (http://secularsociety.co.za/forum/topic/sass-vision-statement/) aligned to the left. I have been playing around with your code as well as a bunch of other CSS, but I can not seem get the topic and discussion pages to look like the original main forum page :/ I think that we will need to address each page’s CSS instruction individually. Trying to change the CSS in one go seems to have different results on each of these pages. Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[JBBoY]

Thank you Robkk, where can I find a tutorial or howto create a plugin for bbpress? I found the bbpress files that I need to edit and I can put my code in, but I think this is not the clean way to do it.

[arno8]

you put the add filter code into your child themes functions.php or if you have a functionality plugin put it there.

This worked perfectly.

if you got it to work send a link to the post so i can check it out.

i dont get it work 🙁

[Robkk]

you put the add filter code into your child themes functions.php or if you have a functionality plugin put it there.

and well i havent really tested that css code before so i didnt know if it really did work.
i just tried it a while ago and i cant get it to work at all.

if you got it to work send a link to the post so i can check it out.

[Icaroferreira]

I have “WordPress”, forum “bbPress”, plugin “UserPro” … And I want to give points, rewards for users of my website, when they share articles, make comments, create forum topic, etc and has appears in his profile for everybody to see (points and medals).

So what should I use ?

Plugin mycred? Plugin WPAchievements codecanyon? or what?

Help me please.

[Robkk]

I want to make sure that there is not an existing alternative before start writing code (I’m not very familiar at writing code for bbpress).

ok alright , some other users want this functionality so it will be great for someone to make it 🙂

[JBBoY]

Thank you again for your response! yes, that’s exactly what I want. But I can’t believe there is not a plugin to do this kind of moderation on bbpress.

I want to make sure that there is not an existing alternative before start writing code (I’m not very familiar at writing code for bbpress).

[arno8]

And where would I add the add_filter code please?

[selenii]

<?php
	if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'author' => 0, 'show_stickies' => false, 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_parent' => 'any', 'posts_per_page' => 10 ) ) )
		bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'topics' );
	?>

I had put this code to my template. But how can I change the post_parent Parameter automatik, that the plugin know in wich forum he is and show me the right topics.

Thx

[Stephen Edgar]

See the code I just posted here, add’s the CSS classes without template modifications 🙂

Topic background color depending on role

Also going to close this, rather than others bumping it in the future 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

For #3 the user topic and reply counts underneath their role in each topic/reply will be in the next release of bbPress.

And images based on forum roles can be achieved using the same code I just posted here by inserting the image using CSS :before or :after pseudo elements .

[Stephen Edgar]

This should do the trick without any template modifications:

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;
}

It grabs the topic or reply author role and adds another CSS class with prefix bbp-role- so you now have a new set of CSS classes e.g. bbp-role-keymaster, bbp-role-moderator, bbp-role-participant etc that you can then add your custom CSS styles to.

[Robkk]

well first i think you have to seperate the role from the author link and author avatar

then to do add this you have to either add conditionals like if user is admin {

or wrap the role in a class and add something like ($role)

will post later when i feel like going into templates and fiddling with them again.
