take out the word div !

.bbp-search-form {
display:none !important;
}

[Robin W]

Great, glad to hear you’re fixed, and have just added the code to one of my forums. One of those moments when you see something and think “that looks better”!.

[Robin W]

so the answer is

function short_freshness_time( $output) {
$output = preg_replace( '/, .*[^ago]/', ' ', $output );
return $output;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_time_since', 'short_freshness_time' );
add_filter('bp_core_time_since', 'short_freshness_time');

Drop this into your functions file

[Robin W]

Think it’s as simple as

is_bbpress()

so try

<div class="breadcrumbs">
    if(function_exists('bcn_display') && is_bbpress())
{
bcn_display();
}</div>

Haven’t checked the syntax, I’ll let you do that

[hitkid]

thanks @robin-w !

I’ve tried to use all the avatar functions found in the documentation in the wp_query(), but none are working. I’ve tried it locally with newer updates of buddypress/bbpress and live with a fresh install and nothing.

This is the actual tag I want to use:
<?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?>

They work perfectly in the mychild/bbpress/loop-single-topic.php , but I just can not get it to work in the query! Is there anything I am missing, or doing wrong?

Thanks for the help!

[boriskamp1991]

Ok,thanks for that!

I need to add this code somewhere:

<div class="breadcrumbs">
    <?php if(function_exists('bcn_display'))
    {
        bcn_display();
    }?>
</div>

It is for displaying the breadcrumbs.
When I add it to header.php in my theme, the breadcrumbs appear on allll my pages. I dont want that, I want them ONLY on forum related pages, how can I achieve this?

[Peter J. Herrel]

Bumped into this while developing locally, a solution is to filter the requested url in bbp_verify_nonce_request:

add_filter( 'bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 'my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 999, 1 );
function my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url( $requested_url )
{
    return 'http://localhost:8888' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
}

bbp_get_time_since

I found it in these files

bbpress\includes\topics\template-tags.php
bbpress\includes\replies\template-tags.php
bbpress\includes\forums\template-tags.php
bbpress\includes\common\widgets.php
bbpress\includes\common\functions.php

Now what I need to edit to remove the rest of the decimal?

I want to ask because I am a beginner in php

[John James Jacoby]

You’ll want to filter the output of bbp_get_time_since; it’s the function responsible for humanizing timestamps. You’ll probably want to perform a string replacement starting at the comma, and append your own ‘ago’ at the end.

Hi i just dont know whats wrong…

when i work with firebug on css for forum page is ok but when i add to do css wont work…

#bbp-search-form div {
    display: none !important;
}

is format type wrong?

Thanks, David

[KostRev]

Thanks. I sort of figured that out after removing my custom templates. Not sure where I got the code for form-topic.php because it was very different from the default and that made the difference.

Thanks for the tip on the shortcode. That alone would have helped some of my troubleshooting.

[Stephen Edgar]

You want to use the /dev branch of both projects:

https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/bbpress/dev/sv/default
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/dev/sv/default

On each of the above pages select ‘.mo’ from the dropdown at the bottom of the page and click export.

Rename each file to buddypress-sv.mo & bbpress-sv.mo

The extra instructions on the BuddyPress site might also help, I’ll try to get the bbPress updated soon also.

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/translations/

[Robin W]

I thought that’s what it did in default mode.

If you are using shortcodes, then you have options

[bbp-topic-form] – Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.
[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id] – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.

Otherwise come back with a url where this isn’t happening

[Robin W]

yes,

Dashboard>settings>forums>forum root slug to change the urls and breadcrumbs – just change forums to what you want it to say

Tp change the forum heading on the forums list, make a copy of

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-forums.php

and place this in a folder

/wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/bbpress/

see https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-3/ for a tutorial on this subject

Then edit line line 19 which says

<li class="bbp-forum-info"><?php _e( 'Forum', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>

to

<li class="bbp-forum-info"><?php _e( 'Elephant', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>

and it will say elephant instead of forum.

[Robin W]

you can use the following shortcodes in a page or post

[bbp-topic-form]
Display the ‘New Topic’ form where you can choose from a drop down menu the forum that this topic is to be associated with.

[bbp-topic-form forum_id=$forum_id]
Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.

‘Thats the odd part, they are both using the default…and switching between the various different templates doesn’t seem to modify it. The theme has an internal setting that allows you to dictate how many ‘columns’ are shown. I can get it to show full page if I switch that around, but then my article page is also shown full (one column) I’m looking at the code further to try and figure out how to isolate one from the other’

Think that’s the route to go.

bbPress looks at the root of your theme for “bbpress.php” as a page template. if it doesn’t find it, it’ll use your themes “page.php”.

It sounds like your “page.php” page (whatever it’s called), has a parameter to set the columns, so within this they’ll be an “if” statement which is setting this.

What I think you need to do is as suggested in my first post. Copt the page file and call it “bbpress.php”. You should be able to find in that file where it is using the setting to create the columns and take this out. Alternately look in the twentyfourteen theme for the full page template and compare this to your file. You should be able to cobble the two together to get it to work.

If none of that works, (or alternately!) contact the theme developer to see if they have a solution.

[Robin W]

Suspect that there are values in a “forum” post that you need to populate.

I suspect (but don’t know) that the forum will be a category, and the topics will be posts. Therefore you need to link your topic to it’s forum so need to link the post to it’s category.

Try searching round phrases such as “wordpress post category in database” which got me a bunch of articles eg

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2848505/how-does-wordpress-link-posts-to-categories-in-its-database.

‘I guess the developers don’t visit their own forum anymore?’ – sounds critical, the developers are busy developing – remember this is all free stuff, and no-one pays their, or indeed my time to do this. They do regularly visit, but I would not expect to get a load of development advice for free to do something that is not in significant demand. Even writing this took ten minutes !

I hope you find a solution, and in the spirit of free open source, post the solution when you get it. I’ll add it to the codex, so that others can benefit.

Regards

Robin

I haven’t seen any integration with Zendesk but checkout this awesome tutorial by @mordauk (@pippinsplugins)

http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/using-bbpress-as-a-support-forum–wp-28877

[Stephen Edgar]

You would need to make some custom templates

See https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

And there are a few other docs here https://codex.bbpress.org/

[Stephen Edgar]

See this https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

It’s the same process for both bbPress & BuddyPress

Hello,

I am using the shortcode [bbp-topic-form forum_id=599] to display a form that will post to forum id 599.

I noticed the shortcode is using the form-topic.php template file to output.

What I want to do is have it use a modified version of the form-topic.php template file, but only for the shortcode.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks!

[thefruitnation]

So I’ve found its specific to the url.. if its
http://www.thefruitnation.com/forums/

It scrunches it up

Anything else like http://www.thefruitnation.com/forums1/ keeps it full width

I’m sure this has to do with the

Forum Root Slug

as it is set to ‘forums’ I just cant figure out how its correlated

I guess I can get around this by changing the page that I use the shortcode for index on to not share the same forums slug.. I thought this was needed, but perhaps thats my problem? Should it matter or any insight if this would effect url building/seo

[thefruitnation]

Thats the odd part, they are both using the default…and switching between the various different templates doesn’t seem to modify it. The theme has an internal setting that allows you to dictate how many ‘columns’ are shown. I can get it to show full page if I switch that around, but then my article page is also shown full (one column) I’m looking at the code further to try and figure out how to isolate one from the other

[jslom]

$sql="INSERT INTO wp_posts (post_type, post_parent, post_title, post_content, post_author)
VALUES
('$_POST[forum]','$_POST[forumid]','$_POST[1]','$_POST[2]','$_POST[3]')";

This is the code im using to get my form to post to the db, and it still does not create the topic even though it populates

[barnabe]

But with this code, when there is an error (like username already exists), the redirect is not effective.

This excellent tutorial helped me to fix that : Redirect to custom page after login or register fails
