Hi,

I’m trying to retrieve a simple list of all forums on a site, for which I need to have a loop. I’m trying to create one from within a class in my plugin using this function:

public function forum_list(){

	$forums		= array();

	if ( bbp_has_forums() ) {
		while ( bbp_forums() ) {

			bbp_the_forum();

			$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
			$forum_name = bbp_get_forum_title();
			$data = array( 'ID' => $forum_id, 'name' => $forum_name );

			$forums[] = $data;

		} // while()
	} // if()

	return $forums;

} // get_forum_list()

Which is called inside the construcor like so:

$this->forums = $this->forum_list();

This is telling me there is no object (Call to a member function get() on a non-object). The function works perfectly well outside the class, but inside it fails. What am I missing?

there are two reward type plugins that integrate with bbpress i know off the top of my head.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/mycred/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/achievements/

and maybe more.

But i mean if you really have something different and unique then make the plugin.

but hey if your just looking for plugins to develop for bbpress i wouldnt be mind if you fork this.

https://github.com/master5o1/bbPress-Post-Toolbar

this plugin just isnt structured well, it really slows down a site too, but has alot of good elements.

or combine some elements of this editor to give a responsive bbcode editor, i wouldnt mind at all.

Hi there, thank you for the swift response. I am currently using bbpress, as stated above. I read trough and implemented the information you linked me to, but still no luck. Here is the code in my theme’s page.php file. Maybe you can help me since I can not seem to figure out the code 🙂

<?php

get_header();

$is_page_builder_used = et_pb_is_pagebuilder_used( get_the_ID() );

?>

<div id="main-content">

<?php if ( ! $is_page_builder_used ) : ?>

	<div class="container">
		<div id="content-area" class="clearfix">
			<div id="left-area">

<?php endif; ?>

			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

				<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>

				<?php if ( ! $is_page_builder_used ) : ?>

					<h1 class="main_title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
				<?php
					$thumb = '';

					$width = (int) apply_filters( 'et_pb_index_blog_image_width', 1080 );

					$height = (int) apply_filters( 'et_pb_index_blog_image_height', 675 );
					$classtext = 'et_featured_image';
					$titletext = get_the_title();
					$thumbnail = get_thumbnail( $width, $height, $classtext, $titletext, $titletext, false, 'Blogimage' );
					$thumb = $thumbnail["thumb"];

					if ( 'on' === et_get_option( 'divi_page_thumbnails', 'false' ) && '' !== $thumb )
						print_thumbnail( $thumb, $thumbnail["use_timthumb"], $titletext, $width, $height );
				?>

				<?php endif; ?>

					<div class="entry-content">
					<?php
						the_content();

						if ( ! $is_page_builder_used )
							wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'Divi' ), 'after' => '</div>' ) );
					?>
					</div> <!-- .entry-content -->

				<?php
					if ( ! $is_page_builder_used && comments_open() && 'on' === et_get_option( 'divi_show_pagescomments', 'false' ) ) comments_template( '', true );
				?>

				</article> <!-- .et_pb_post -->

			<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php if ( ! $is_page_builder_used ) : ?>

			</div> <!-- #left-area -->

			<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
			
		</div> <!-- #content-area -->
	</div> <!-- .container -->

<?php endif; ?>

</div> <!-- #main-content -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thanks a mil!

Issue came up after a user joined with with a space in his username. His profile leads to 404 when you click on his username. I researched and saw special characters and spaces aren’t allowed? Why is this and is there a simple fix rather than having to validate our code?

[Robin W]

You need to get bbpress to use the full width template

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

[Robkk]

@pavle123 thank you for the compliment

The progress of this is theme is probably at 65% of completion.
Im really just removing unnecessary code in templates and css that are not useful since i made some arrangements.

and also im really just thinking what else could i add thats different from other forum software.
if you have any ideas on what to add please feel free to share.

and also if i should just share a child theme of a default theme like twenty twelve for free.

or make a theme off of _s put whatever i want in it and sell it for like 5-15 dollars.

[Robkk]

i checked this out and i think you need to fix the “Filed Under” that is under every forum.

if you havent made a bbpress.php do so to fix that.

@lynq I hope you can help me.

As you see here, in the general section it shows the topic and posts count nicely on the correct place.
However on the sub-forums u can see the counts are just ext to the name. how can i position these so they get on the same position like the ones above?

I tried to add a class here

// Parse arguments against default values
	$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
		'before'            => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">',
		'after'             => '</ul>',
		'link_before'       => '<li class="bbp-forum">',
		'link_after'        => '</li>',
		'count_before'      => '(',
		'count_after'       => ' )',
		'count_sep'         => ', ',
		'separator'         => ', ',
		'forum_id'          => '',
		'show_topic_count'  => true,
		'show_reply_count'  => true,
	), 'list_forums' );

Like this:

// Parse arguments against default values
	$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
		'before'            => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">',
		'after'             => '</ul>',
		'link_before'       => '<li class="bbp-forum">',
		'link_after'        => '</li>',
		'count_before'      => '<div class="counts">',
		'count_after'       => '</div>',
		//'count_sep'         => ', ',
		//'separator'         => ', ',
		'forum_id'          => '',
		'show_topic_count'  => true,
		'show_reply_count'  => true,
	), 'list_forums' );

to then style it in css, but when i try this it doesnt show the count anymore and i cANT EDIT IT IN CSS.

[Robin W]

ok, I downloaded the theme and had a play

you need to create this file as bbpress.php

<?php global $theme; get_header(); ?>

    <div id="main">
    
        <?php $theme->hook('main_before'); ?>

        <div id="content2">
            
            <?php $theme->hook('content_before'); ?>
        
            <?php 
                if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
                    /**
                     * Find the post formatting for the pages in the post-page.php file
                     */
                    get_template_part('post', 'page');
                    
                    if(comments_open( get_the_ID() ))  {
                        comments_template('', true); 
                    }
                endwhile;
                
                else :
                    get_template_part('post', 'noresults');
                endif; 
            ?>
            
            <?php $theme->hook('content_after'); ?>
        
        </div><!-- #content -->
    
        <div id="sidebar-primary">

   <?php
        if(!dynamic_sidebar('sidebar-bbpress')) {
            /**
            * The primary sidebar widget area. Manage the widgets from: wp-admin -> Appearance -> Widgets 
            */
            $theme->hook('sidebar-bbpress');
        }
        $theme->hook("sidebar_primary_after");
    ?>
    
</div><!-- #sidebar-primary -->
        
        <?php $theme->hook('main_after'); ?>
        
    </div><!-- #main -->
    
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Then in your style.css you need to add the following to the bottom just above the

/* =END

#content2 {
  float: left;
  overflow: hidden;
  width: 630px;
}

That should do it

[Topknotch]

Still doesn’t work 🙁 this is driving me mad I have been trying it all day and when you re posted I thought woooohooooo , but sadly no 🙁
This is my code –

<?php

/**

 * Template Name: Full Width, no sidebar(s)

*/

get_header(); ?>

    <div id="main-fullwidth">

        

        <?php 

            if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

                /**

                 * Find the post formatting for the pages in the post-page.php file

                 */

                get_template_part('post', 'page');

                

                if(comments_open( get_the_ID() ))  {

                    comments_template('', true); 

                }

            endwhile;

            

            else :

                get_template_part('post', 'noresults');

            endif; 

        ?>

        

    </div><!-- #main-fullwidth -->

    
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

[Robin W]

sorry…

<? get_sidebar(); ?>

should read

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

try using the method shown here

how are you accessing this page – which of these is it?

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

[Robin W]

I think this should do it. It’s from my library of code and haven’t used it in a while, so come back if it’s not what you want

You’ll need to add it to your functions file

Functions files and child themes – explained !

//This function adds descriptions to the sub forums
function custom_list_forums( $args = '' ) {

	// Define used variables
	$output = $sub_forums = $topic_count = $reply_count = $counts = '';
	$i = 0;
	$count = array();

	// Parse arguments against default values
	$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
		'before'            => '<ul class="bbp-forums-list">',
		'after'             => '</ul>',
		'link_before'       => '<li class="bbp-forum">',
		'link_after'        => '</li>',
		'count_before'      => ' (',
		'count_after'       => ')',
		'count_sep'         => ', ',
		'separator'         => ', ',
		'forum_id'          => '',
		'show_topic_count'  => true,
		'show_reply_count'  => true,
	), 'list_forums' );

	// Loop through forums and create a list
	$sub_forums = bbp_forum_get_subforums( $r['forum_id'] );
	if ( !empty( $sub_forums ) ) {

		// Total count (for separator)
		$total_subs = count( $sub_forums );
		foreach ( $sub_forums as $sub_forum ) {
			$i++; // Separator count

			// Get forum details
			$count     = array();
			$show_sep  = $total_subs > $i ? $r['separator'] : '';
			$permalink = bbp_get_forum_permalink( $sub_forum->ID );
			$title     = bbp_get_forum_title( $sub_forum->ID );
			$content = bbp_get_forum_content($sub_forum->ID) ;

			// Show topic count
			if ( !empty( $r['show_topic_count'] ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) {
				$count['topic'] = bbp_get_forum_topic_count( $sub_forum->ID );
			}

			// Show reply count
			if ( !empty( $r['show_reply_count'] ) && !bbp_is_forum_category( $sub_forum->ID ) ) {
				$count['reply'] = bbp_get_forum_reply_count( $sub_forum->ID );
			}

			// Counts to show
			if ( !empty( $count ) ) {
				$counts = $r['count_before'] . implode( $r['count_sep'], $count ) . $r['count_after'];
			}

			// Build this sub forums link
			$output .= $r['before'].$r['link_before'] . '<a href="' . esc_url( $permalink ) . '" class="bbp-forum-link">' . $title . $counts . '</a>' . $show_sep . $r['link_after'].'<div class="bbp-forum-content">'.$content.'</div>'.$r['after'];
		}

		// Output the list
		return $output ;
	}
}

add_filter('bbp_list_forums', 'custom_list_forums' );

Hi,

How can I move a topic from one forum to another programmatically? I’m hoping to send a post variable with the new forum ID, and then update the topic like so:

// Update the Status Meta After Changes are Posted
if ( isset( $_POST['bbps_forum_option'] ) ) {

	$new_forum = $_POST['bbps_forum_option'];

	bbp_update_topic( $this->topic_id, $new_forum );

} // if()

Thanks!

[robsward]

There are a couple of issues with that code up there. Correct function is this one:

public function forum_list(){

	$forums		= array();

	if ( bbp_has_forums() ) {
		while ( bbp_forums() ) {

			bbp_the_forum();

			$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
			$forum_name = bbp_get_forum_title();
			$data = array( 'ID' => $forum_id, 'name' => $forum_name );

			$forums[] = $data;

		} // while()
	} // if()

	return $forums;

} // get_forum_list()

[robsward]

Hi,

I’m trying to retrieve a simple list of all forums on a site, for which I need to have a loop. I’m trying to create one from within a class in my plugin using this function:

public function forum_list(){

	$forums		= array();

	if ( bbp_has_forums() {
		while ( bbp_forums() ) {

		//} // while()
	} // if()

	return $forums;

} // get_forum_list()

Which is called inside the construcor like so:

$this->forums = $this->forum_list();

This is telling me there is no object (Call to a member function get() on a non-object). The function works perfectly well outside the class, but inside it fails. What am I missing?

Hi there,
I use the Genesis framework. In the Genesis theme there is a CSS part that sets the global margins.

.entry {
	margin-bottom: 40px;
	padding: 50px 60px;
}

I managed to change a lot of the CSS by learning trial and error. I managed to change lot of the CSS of bbPress, but I don’t now how to change specific global things only affecting the bbPress forum.

How can I change only the margings and the font type of the forum, without affecting the rest of the site (Genesis CSS).

Your help is highly appreciated 🙂

[Robin W]

The normal behaviour is to allow anyone to see profiles.

You can limit this to only logged in users by adding some code to a couple of files.

If you have c-panel or ftp access and know how to transfer files, come back and I’ll help you with the changes.

[Robin W]

ok, save this file as bbpress.php into the root of your theme

ie

wp-content/themes/%yourthemename%/bbpress.php

where %yourthemename% is the name of your theme !! 🙂

Then add a line above the last, so that it now reads

<? get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

bbpress will now use that page as the one for bbpress, and should display a sidebar.

‘tweaks’ should tghen sue this fro your forum sidebar.

Come back if any of that doesn’t work, or you need more explanation

[Topknotch]

can you post the code for the full width one here please

[sdunning]

I wish to show the description of each forum in the forum list as seen here:
http://forum.unified-automation.com/

If someone could point me towards the file and/or function I need to add/amend, I’d be eternally grateful.

I have it laid out with the child forums listed as shown by following this example but when I last tried to show the description along side it, I got the WSOD (my php sucks).

Thanks to any and all!

WP version 4.0

Ok, I found it.

I had a plug-in called Landing Page.

It wasn`t enough to deactivate it. I deleted it and everything seems to work fine.
Don`t ask how or why, it just worked.

Thanks for your help.

[Loni]

@nightcoder You Rock! I was having this same problem where the “s” was missing from our noreply address. I followed your instruction and modified bbpress/includes/common/functions.php and it works perfectly! Thank you very much. 🙂
