Hi!

I’m searching for a bbproles field in the wordpress/bbpress database but with no luck. In wich table and row are they stored? What I want to do is create a form who change the user role if an “update user role code” facilitated by forum admin is correct.

Thank you very much in advance for your replies. 🙂

Hi,

I work on a WordPress Theme with bbpress integration and the user account are linked with the forums. But the Avatars are not working properly.
If the users use facebook connect to create their account, bbpress use their facebook avatar, whether they change their account avatar or not. I want to customize code to make sure bbpress always use the user account avatar but I can’t find where is the logic behind this.
Can you give me some elements as to where I need to make modifications?

Thanks!

[Robin W]

Agree it would be useful, and could be coded, but there are many calls on the developers time (I’m not a developer).

[Robin W]

Is there any way to completely skip the forums index? I don’t see why I would need multiple forums when I can have 1 main forum with different topics.

Yes you can skip the forum index, just create a page and put one of the shortcodes on it

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

In your case you’d use

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

[Stephen Edgar]

Ha! Confirmed, will add an updated patch shortly….

It strips all the ssssssssss’s so even https://sssseanwes.com/ becomes @eanwes.com 😉

[seanwes]

Changeset 5409 fixed it for me.

However, I still have the following issue:

My website is seanwes.com. Notifications are now coming from noreply@eanwes.com (notice no ‘s’).

I have the proper address hardcoded in the mean time.

Here are my forums as they currently are: http://zimbabwe-today.com/forums/

Sorry to be the simple one here but I am really not seeing what I am supposed to do to get the sidebar in the forum. I installed BBpress WP Tweaks and added the BBpress login widget but I am not seeing anything. What am I supposed to do next? I created a bbpress.php file but I don’t see what code I should put in it that references the sidebar that I will be using. Is it some variation of this: <?php if (!function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar(‘Page Sidebar’)): endif; ?>

Please let me know.

Thanks

[Stephen Edgar]

I just also added this to the docs https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/vanilla/

[Stephen Edgar]

I just saw your message in #bbpress IRC chat room

The bbPress Vanilla2 importer does not support threaded replies out of the box, there are far too many plugins available for all the forum packages to try and support all the possible permutations and combinations these would cause.

So that said, you would have to modify the importer to support the ‘ReplyTo’ Vanilla plugin, I just took a quick peek at the plugin and here you go, add the snippet of code here to the reply section or use the full file and replace your current bbPress Vanilla2.php file I added here and I think will do the trick.

https://gist.github.com/ntwb/b9b3404400a79ebd5913#file-vanilla2_replyto-php

[Robin W]

Not a quick answer – how well are you able to code?

[Robin W]

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

and see

Have you been through

[Jon Christopher]

It looks like the issue is compounded by

// Setup the From header
$headers[] = 'From: ' . get_bloginfo( 'name' ) . ' ' . $do_not_reply;

as well. Mandrill complains that the format isn’t an email address and fails validation. Not sure if this is a change in the latest bbPress update but I had to modify that as well.

Running a few tests, it looks like the new BCC setup continues to work as expected through Mandrill.

hello

i have a wordpress site with bbpress installed. i have 3 subforums in bbpress. on the homepage of my wordpress site, i would like to list out those 3 forums with the lastest 5 posts from each.

please take a look at this image:

the styling doesn’t have to look like the attached as long as i can list out the individual subforums and 5 of its most recent posts.

i have setup 3 columns with ability to put shortcodes.

i tried using some of the shortcodes provided by bbpress with no luck.

SOS please!!! i’m running out of options…lol

thanks in advance,

chris

[Stephen Edgar]

Confirm the capitalization of the language setting is the same for all the files:

e.g.

• wp-config.php -> define ('WPLANG', 'he_IL');
• bbpress-he_IL.mo
• bbpress-he_IL.po

Also make sure the bbPress translation files are stored in /wp-content/languages/bbpress/

[Lexador]

Hi,

I have a problem with syntax highlighter in bbpress (plugin). Normaly, after I’ve used Crayon and paste the example code

void loop()
{
digitalWrite
}

it generates in the background (if I switch to text mode)

<pre class="lang:arduino decode:true crayon-selected">void loop()
{
digitalWrite
}</pre>

It works good for admin, but if somebody else (member) try to post a code, the tag </pre> disappears, so his code will be not highlighted and in the published post I can see the code and a part of Crayon’s tag like this

<pre class="lang:arduino decode:true crayon-selected">void loop()
{
digitalWrite
}

I’ve noticed about restrictions in html-tags etc. but as I can see in formatting.php pre is allowed tag.

What is the problem?

Thanks in advance.

[Robin W]

Ok, what I want to do is check if the function is trying to filter and failing or not even trying to filter.

I am therefore going to get the plugin to dump one of the lists, so that you can tell me what it is showing – it won’t look pretty, but should help.

First of all you need to work out a search that produces only a few results, say less than 10, and that you can list all the results that you would expect to see for full access, and that you want to see for the private groups, and make a not of their numbers.

so for instance

search for zebra produces posts numbers

2345,2367,2657,2894,2965

But one of these is in a private forum so a non-logged in user should see

2345,2367,2894,2965

Once you have this list, then do the following :
Use notepad to create a file called search.php

then put this code into it

<?php

//this function filters to the bbp search function to allow only returns from allowed forums

function pg_has_search_results( $args = '' ) {
	global $wp_rewrite;
//start with code as per bbp search !
	/** Defaults **************************************************************/

	$default_post_type = array( bbp_get_forum_post_type(), bbp_get_topic_post_type(), bbp_get_reply_post_type() );

	// Default query args
	$default = array(
		'post_type'           => $default_post_type,         // Forums, topics, and replies
		'posts_per_page'      => bbp_get_replies_per_page(), // This many
		'paged'               => bbp_get_paged(),            // On this page
		'orderby'             => 'date',                     // Sorted by date
		'order'               => 'DESC',                     // Most recent first
		'ignore_sticky_posts' => true,                       // Stickies not supported
		's'                   => bbp_get_search_terms(),     // This is a search
	);

	// What are the default allowed statuses (based on user caps)
	if ( bbp_get_view_all() ) {

		// Default view=all statuses
		$post_statuses = array(
			bbp_get_public_status_id(),
			bbp_get_closed_status_id(),
			bbp_get_spam_status_id(),
			bbp_get_trash_status_id()
		);

		// Add support for private status
		if ( current_user_can( 'read_private_topics' ) ) {
			$post_statuses[] = bbp_get_private_status_id();
		}

		// Join post statuses together
		$default['post_status'] = implode( ',', $post_statuses );

	// Lean on the 'perm' query var value of 'readable' to provide statuses
	} else {
		$default['perm'] = 'readable';
	}
	
	//PG then loop to find allowable forums
	//Get an array of IDs which the current user has permissions to view
	$allowed_posts = private_groups_get_permitted_post_ids(new WP_Query($default));
	Echo 'Allowed posts list' ;
	var_dump ($allowed_posts) ;
	// The default forum query with allowed forum ids array added
    $default['post__in'] = $allowed_posts;

    
	//then return to bbp search code
	/** Setup *****************************************************************/

	// Parse arguments against default values
	$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, $default, 'has_search_results' );

	// Get bbPress
	$bbp = bbpress();

	// Call the query
	if ( ! empty( $r['s'] ) ) {
		$bbp->search_query = new WP_Query( $r );
	}

	// Add pagination values to query object
	$bbp->search_query->posts_per_page = $r['posts_per_page'];
	$bbp->search_query->paged          = $r['paged'];

	// Never home, regardless of what parse_query says
	$bbp->search_query->is_home        = false;

	// Only add pagination is query returned results
	if ( ! empty( $bbp->search_query->found_posts ) && ! empty( $bbp->search_query->posts_per_page ) ) {

		// Array of arguments to add after pagination links
		$add_args = array();

		// If pretty permalinks are enabled, make our pagination pretty
		if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ) {

			// Shortcode territory
			if ( is_page() || is_single() ) {
				$base = trailingslashit( get_permalink() );

			// Default search location
			} else {
				$base = trailingslashit( bbp_get_search_results_url() );
			}

			// Add pagination base
			$base = $base . user_trailingslashit( $wp_rewrite->pagination_base . '/%#%/' );

		// Unpretty permalinks
		} else {
			$base = add_query_arg( 'paged', '%#%' );
		}

		// Add args
		if ( bbp_get_view_all() ) {
			$add_args['view'] = 'all';
		}

		// Add pagination to query object
		$bbp->search_query->pagination_links = paginate_links(
			apply_filters( 'bbp_search_results_pagination', array(
				'base'      => $base,
				'format'    => '',
				'total'     => ceil( (int) $bbp->search_query->found_posts / (int) $r['posts_per_page'] ),
				'current'   => (int) $bbp->search_query->paged,
				'prev_text' => is_rtl() ? '&rarr;' : '&larr;',
				'next_text' => is_rtl() ? '&larr;' : '&rarr;',
				'mid_size'  => 1,
				'add_args'  => $add_args, 
			) )
		);

		// Remove first page from pagination
		if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ) {
			$bbp->search_query->pagination_links = str_replace( $wp_rewrite->pagination_base . '/1/', '', $bbp->search_query->pagination_links );
		} else {
			$bbp->search_query->pagination_links = str_replace( '&paged=1', '', $bbp->search_query->pagination_links );
		}
	}
	//finally filter to return
	// Return object
	return apply_filters( 'pg_has_search_results', $bbp->search_query->have_posts(), $bbp->search_query );
}

add_filter ('bbp_has_search_results', 'pg_has_search_results') ; 

Then go into FTP

Then look in

wp-content/plugins/bbp-private-groups/includes

and you’ll see a file called

wp-content/plugins/bbp-private-groups/includes/search.php

Rename this file to searchold.php (as we’ll need it back later!)

Then copy the search.php that you made above to this folder (wp-content/plugins/bbp-private-groups/includes).

Then run your search.

You should see a horrible list at the start, but this will be what should be the filtered list

run this with full access and with restricted access (ie not logged in) and tell me what lists you get and of they are different.

[Robin W]

That is quite complicated.

However this will add ‘edit profile’ to you menu if you put it in your function file !

// Filter wp_nav_menu() to add profile link
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_profile_link' );
function my_nav_menu_profile_link($menu) { 	
	if (is_user_logged_in()) {
		$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
		$user=$current_user->user_login ;
		//Lower case everything
		$user = strtolower($user);
		//Make alphanumeric (removes all other characters)
		$user = preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9_\s-]/", "", $user);
		//Clean up multiple dashes or whitespaces
		$user = preg_replace("/[\s-]+/", " ", $user);
		//Convert whitespaces and underscore to dash
		$user = preg_replace("/[\s_]/", "-", $user);
		$profilelink = '<li><a href="/forums/users/' . $user . '/edit">Edit Profile</a></li>';
		$menu = $menu . $profilelink;
		return $menu;
	
}

[Robkk]

use css to make your changes

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 2

everything is pretty much in there

[Robin W]

Try :

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

[Robin W]

Really glad that writing that part of the guide has worked for someone else – it was a real challenge to write !

Try changing the line

add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_reply_link','jc_return_review' );

to

add_filter( 'bbp_before_get_topic_reply_link_parse_args','jc_return_review' );

This lets you change just one part of the function.

[Robin W]

ok, this is not my strong area, but try making this as your bbpress.php page

<?php 

get_header(); // Loads the header.php template. ?>
 
	<?php if ( is_bbpress() ) { ?>
 
		<header class="entry-header">
			<h1 class="entry-title"><?php single_post_title(); ?></h1>
			<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( 'entry_byline', '<div class="entry-byline">' . __( 'Published by [entry-author] on [entry-published] [entry-comments-link before=" | "] [entry-edit-link before=" | "]', 'spine2' ) . '</div>' ); ?>
		</header><!-- .entry-header -->
 
		<?php while( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>
 
			<?php the_content(); ?>
 
		<?php endwhile; ?>
 
 
		<footer class="entry-footer">
			<?php echo apply_atomic_shortcode( 'entry_meta', '<div class="entry-meta">' . __( '[entry-terms before="Posted in " taxonomy="category"] [entry-terms before="| Tagged "]', 'spine2' ) . '</div>' ); ?>
		</footer><!-- .entry-footer -->
 
	<?php } else { ?>
	<div id="content" class="hfeed">
 
		<?php get_template_part( 'loop-meta' ); // Loads the loop-meta.php template. ?>
 
		<?php get_template_part( 'loop' ); // Loads the loop.php template. ?>

I have read the following explanation on using filters, and have become somewhat proficient on this. http://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-5/

I am having an issue, to which I believe there is probably a simple answer. I want to replace the word “Reply” with “Review This Book” in the admin links. Easy enough. But when I do that, there is no longer a link; I want to maintain the same link.

According to the tutorial I have been using (above link), I am supposed to use a function like this:

function jc_return_review( $args = array() ) {
 $args['reply_text'] = 'Review This Book';
 return $args;
}

Then I implement the following:
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_reply_link','jc_return_review' );

However, the above function causes the following error:
“Warning: Illegal string offset ‘reply_text’ in /homepages/../../../../wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php on line 111
Ra href=”#new-post” class=”bbp-topic-reply-link”>Reply”

But…, when using the following function

function jc_return_review() {
return 'Review This Book';
}

And the same filter above, the wording gets replaced just fine, but as I mentioned at the start of this post, there is no longer a link. In other words, without my filter, REPLY is a link that takes you to the reply window. When using my filter, Review This Book is present, but there is no link associated with Review This Book.

Thanks for any help here.

[wallyhood]

Something is broken with my use of BBPress related to jQuery:

Using the jQuery selector does not work. For example:

$(".title")
TypeError: undefined is not a function

However, using
jQuery(".title")

does work. This is breaking other plugins and code I have on my site (http://www.wallyhood.org). I’ve tried disabling all other plugins except for BBPress, and the problem still occurs. I’ve tried enabling all plugins EXCEPT BBPress and the problem doesn’t occur. So it would seem that it must be BBPress causing the issue, except that I would assume lots of other people would be reporting it if that were the case.

Any help?
