I want to allow users to edit their address via the user profile edit page and I’ve been loosely following ardentfrost’s suggestion in this thread: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-user-specified-fields/#post-2670. My problem is that the fields are rendered on the edit page, but aren’t getting saved.

My code to add the address fields is in a file I’ve called custom-profile-fields which I’ve uploaded to the plugins page:

	function get_address_keys() {
		return array(
			'user_address_line1' => array(0, __('Address Line 1')),
			'user_address_line2' => array(0, __('Address Line 2')),
			'user_address_suburb' => array(0, __('Suburb')),
			'user_address_state' => array(0, __('State')),
			'user_address_postcode' => array(0, __('Postcode/ZIP')),
			'user_address_country' => array(0, __('Country'))
		);
	}
	
	add_filter('get_profile_info_keys', 'get_address_keys');

To display the fields I’ve inserted the following code into form-user-edit.php above the website field since it makes sense to keep the address fields in the contact info area.

		<div>
			<label for="user_address_line1"><?php _e( 'Address Line 1', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="user_address_line1" id="user_address_line1" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'user_address_line1', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text code" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />
		</div>

		<div>
			<label for="user_address_line2"><?php _e( 'Address Line 2', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="user_address_line2" id="user_address_line2" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'user_address_line2', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text code" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />
		</div>

		<div>
			<label for="user_address_suburb"><?php _e( 'Suburb', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="user_address_suburb" id="user_address_suburb" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'user_address_suburb', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text code" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />
		</div>

		<div>
			<label for="user_address_state"><?php _e( 'State', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="user_address_state" id="user_address_state" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'user_address_state', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text code" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />
		</div>

		<div>
			<label for="user_address_postcode"><?php _e( 'Postcode/ZIP', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="user_address_postcode" id="user_address_postcode" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'user_address_postcode', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text code" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />
		</div>

		<div>
			<label for="user_address_country"><?php _e( 'Country', 'bbpress' ) ?></label>
			<input type="text" name="user_address_country" id="user_address_country" value="<?php bbp_displayed_user_field( 'user_address_country', 'edit' ); ?>" class="regular-text code" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" />
		</div>

Hello there, I just went through some problems where the bbPress capabilities were not registered in the wp_user_roles option_name row entry. I don’t know what caused it but I was trying to see if I uninstalled/reinstalled bbPress it might reset the capabilities. It didn’t.

So I got hunting through the code and I found this function:

/**
 * Adds capabilities to WordPress user roles.
 *
 * @since bbPress (r2608)
 */
function bbp_add_caps() {

	// Loop through available roles and add caps
	foreach ( bbp_get_wp_roles()->role_objects as $role ) {
		foreach ( bbp_get_caps_for_role( $role->name ) as $cap => $value ) {
			$role->add_cap( $cap, $value );
		}
	}

	do_action( 'bbp_add_caps' );
}

But nothing seem to ever call this function. I did a search through all of the plugin code and there aren’t any references to this function. What gives?

In the end I was able to force the capabilities to be rebuilt by adding this function call inside another function that I knew was being called and it worked (I’ve since removed this).

BTW, this is on WP 3.7.1, bbPress 2.4.1.

Thanks!
Patrick

Strangely this is quite difficult to achieve, as the url for a user profile edit is

http://mysite.com/forums/users/username/edit/

where the username is the actual username of the person logged in.

so you can’t add it as a menu item as far as I can work out.

2 solutions to this :

Solution 1 – the harder way !
One solution and the one I use is adding this as a line in the login widget, so that it appears under the “account” in your sidebar

I use the (bbpress) Login widget for the sidebar. This widget is set up in

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/widgets.php

I added this line after line 145

line 145 reads
<?php bbp_logout_link(); ?>

and I add a new line 146 saying

<p><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>edit" >Amend Profile/Change password</a></p>
This then comes up when someone is logged in

Of course you’ll need to make a note of this change, as it is lost whenever you upgrade bbpress versions

the advantage (and why I use it ) is it then only gives this line when someone is logged in

Solution 2 – the easier way

If you’re not keen to change code, the download the enhanced text widget

https://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-text-widget/

Then in your sidebar add the enhanced text widget, and put this code in content, check the “don’t display header” and click save

<p><a href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>edit" >Amend Profile/Change password</a></p>

Much easier to do, but displays whether someone is logged on or not.

Hello everyone.

Is there a proper codex site anywhere with all the functions/hooks and all the good stuff properly documented anywhere? For example I found a function called bb_is_home(), and I wanted to know what EXACTLY that checked for, but after researching it, I couldn’t find a single real reference or documentation of it.

Am I missing something? Because the http://codex.bbpress.org/type/functions/ has only about 5 functions. Surely there is a list of functions somewhere?

Thanks

[connielk]

An hour later and it still adding dashes. It says

——————————————————— etc etc
Starting Conversion

So… I posted my code to github. If you don’t mind taking a look I’d really appreciate it.

https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7267096

[Schaum]

Do anybody know where I add these in bbpress:

<?php $prev = get_permalink(get_adjacent_post(false,'',true)); if ($prev != get_permalink()) { ?><a href="<?php echo $prev; ?>">Vorheriger Artikel</a><?php } ?> 
<?php $next = get_permalink(get_adjacent_post(false,'',false)); if ($next != get_permalink()) { ?><a href="<?php echo $next; ?>">Nächster Artikel</a><?php } ?>

[Robin W]

Another plugin sounds possible – try disabling them one at a time and see if without one it works ok.

Otherwise, you could try adding this to your functions file

function pw_bbp_auto_checK_subscribe( $checked, $topic_subscribed  ) {

    if( $topic_subscribed == 0 )
        $topic_subscribed = true;

    return checked( $topic_subscribed, true, false );
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_form_topic_subscribed', 'pw_bbp_auto_checK_subscribe', 10, 2 );

That sets it to checked, so presumably if you changed line

$topic_subscribed = true;to

$topic_subscribed = false;

it should uncheck it

Give it a try

[jazinsa]

Is it possible to show a user’s forum topic count(or post count) in the buddypress profile page? It feels like it should be simple enough but hours of googling and reading topics here has left me more confused than when I started.

I can see its possible on a bbpress profile page, where it’s using:

<p class="bbp-user-topic-count"><?php printf( __( 'Topics Started: %s',  'bbpress' ), bbp_get_user_topic_count_raw() ); ?></p>
<p class="bbp-user-reply-count"><?php printf( __( 'Replies Created: %s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_user_reply_count_raw() ); ?></p>

Should I be calling a different function altogether, or is there a specific way to put bbPress functions inside a BuddyPress template page?

A good example of what I mean is at Tamriel Foundry, where the various counts are listed under the heading Post Details. (The design of that site in general is amazing)

Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated! And apologies if you are reading this for a second time, I wasn’t sure whether to post my query at the Buddypress or bbPress forums.

[pekmez]

the path is just like for the version 2.4.1

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php

As JarretC wrote before

Change the line 30

<?php bbp_list_forums(); ?>

to

<?php bbp_list_forums( array ( 'separator' => '<br />' ) ); ?>

Thanx JarretC

[Robin W]

ok, try this – I have culled it from varous other posts, in particular

Full-Width Forum

Don’t swear it will work, but give it a go

1. Create a page called “forums”,
2. make this page a full width page – if your theme doesn’t support this, then you’ll need to create a child theme and add a full page template.
3. Put this shortcode on the page [bbp-forum-index]
4. edit the following file
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.css
by removing the left float from div.bbp-breadcrumb(line 405)
5. In your style.css add the following

.bbPress #primary {
display: none;
}
.bbp-forums {
width: 100%;
}

let us know if that works

[FreeWPress]

Is not good idea to change core code… And when bbpress is updated you lost all your modifies…

[pekmez]

as garindan post, pls try this file to edit.

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/template.php

Line 2249

change

// Add the breadcrumb
// $crumbs[] = '<a href="' . esc_url( $root_url ) . '">' . $r['root_text'] . '</a>';

to this

// Add the breadcrumb
// $crumbs[] = '<a href="' . esc_url( $root_url ) . '">' . $r['root_text'] . '</a>';
$crumbs[] = '<a href="/forum/">Forum</a>';

[Robin W]

you can add this function to your functions.php

function disable_all_widgets( $sidebars_widgets ) {       
    if ( function_exists('is_bbpress') ) {
        if (is_bbpress()) {
            $sidebars_widgets = array(false);
            remove_all_actions('bp_register_widgets');
            unregister_sidebar( 'bp_core_widgets' );
        }
    }
    return $sidebars_widgets;
}

add_filter('sidebars_widgets', 'disable_all_widgets', 1, 1);

or this to your style.css

.bbPress #primary {
display: none;
}

Where does it say that? 😉 I just changed it to MySQL 😉

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

Take a look at the following for some reading material to help get you going.

Importing from DotNetNuke Active Forum

The basis of what ended up being used is here.

Mix all that in with this on converting from Microsoft SQL to MySQL (This was Access but the same tools should do MSSQL fine)

Documented import from snitz access database

Let me know how that all goes for you and I will follow up with more 🙂

[baylock]

Thank you for your answer Robin W.
I would rather use the shortcode as I don’t even use a sidebar.
How come I can’t see the login form through all the views as they are all part of the same WP page (which has the shortcode) ?

Thank you.

[Rogelio]

Hi,

I managed to create a TinyMCE plugin and add it to wordpress editor (which is the same as bbpress).

So far so good.

Using

$ args ['teeny'] = false;

config, my tinymce plugin’s button show normal.

But, I need to be displayed in the default editor for bbpress, in teeny editor.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.

[Button9]

I got it to work now! The solution was to put the code you guys gave me in the beginning of the functions.php. I should probably have known that 🙂

Now one more thing; what can I add to also remove the link that is on your own name/profile after you have logged in to the forum?

Thank you!

Best regards,
Button9

[Stephen Edgar]

@unklee Thnaks for your feedback, all great ideas and it is just really a time issue, our 9-5 day jobs get in the way of spending more time with bbPress 😉

Anyone with a WordPress/bbPress/BuddyPress username & password can edit and update the codex so we may not mention this fact as often as we should and are extremely grateful when new contributions occur.

Just go to https://codex.bbpress.org/ and click ‘login’ and have at it 🙂

[unklee]

Guys, I have been a WordPress user for a couple of years, but just beginning to work out bbpress. It looks great (thanks!) but I’m finding a few difficulties working out a few things.

I want to suggest that you enlarge the Codex slightly to assist new users, with a section titled something like “Some common issues”. It could include your recommendations and suggestions on the following:

Getting sidebars the way you want them:
Outline the various common problems and the recommended approaches/plugins to solving them (there are many threads on this, not all resolved):

• remove all sidebars
• Get the same sidebars as your blog
• Different sidebar to blog

Styling
Do we need a special CSS or can we use the CSS from the blog?

Features of most forums
Most forums have features that it is sometimes hard for newbies to find the right way to get them, so giving us some good advice would really help:

• List of forums in sidebar
• List of recent posts in sidebar
• Login/register box
• HTML/BBCode buttons – is a separate plugin useful?
• Admin & moderation

I know you probably don’t want to favour some plugins over others, but giving us your best advice, and maybe listing a couple of alternatives, would be very helpful.

Thanks.

Hi there,

In order to get the login form, I added it as a shortcode into my forum page via WP admin.
So far so good but the login form only shows up on the main forums page. If I openn the topics or replies views, the login form is not there anymore.
Am I missing something? Are the topics list and replies list not supposed to use the same wordpress page as the forums list?

What can I do to get a persistent login form, whatever the forum’s page if the user is not connected yet?

Thanks.

[unklee]

Hi Robin, I tried what you said (exactly, including logging out) and I’m afraid it didn’t work for me. I still see the blog sidebar with about 8 widgets in it, and not the bbpress sidebar with just one (trial) widget in it.

I note that others talk about changing the permalinks and I haven’t done that because I’m not sure exactly what they mean.

I really want to get this sorted, and I’d prefer not to have to do it by changing some of the php files, because I’m a very rough php coder! I wonder whether there’s anything else I should do that is so obvious to everyone that they’re not saying it, but it’s not obvious to me.It would be good if we could work out a definitive set of instructions, because a lot of people seem to have this issue.

[baylock]

Ok, thank you!

I achieved what I wanted, this way:

Forums list:

<p class="bbpx-topic-meta">
    <?php
    $forum_id  = bbp_get_forum_id();
    $last_active = get_post_meta( $forum_id, '_bbp_last_active_time', true );
    if ( empty( $last_active ) ) {
        $reply_id = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_id( $forum_id );
	if (!empty( $reply_id)){$last_active = get_post_field( 'post_date', $reply_id );} 
        else 
        {
	    $topic_id = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_id( $forum_id );
            if (!empty( $topic_id)){$last_active = bbp_get_topic_last_active_time( $topic_id );};
	};
    };
    $date= date('d/m/Y',bbp_convert_date( $last_active ));
    $active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_active_id( $forum_id );
    $link_url  = $title = '';

    //these two next lines are beyond me: same condition, two results for the same variable...
    if (empty($active_id)){$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_id( $forum_id );};	
    if (empty($active_id)){$active_id = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_id( $forum_id );};

    if (bbp_is_topic($active_id)) 
    {
	$link_url = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_permalink( $forum_id );
	$title    = bbp_get_forum_last_topic_title( $forum_id );
    } 
    elseif (bbp_is_reply($active_id)) 
    {
	$link_url = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_url( $forum_id );
	$title    = bbp_get_forum_last_reply_title( $forum_id );
    };
    $time_since = bbp_get_forum_last_active_time( $forum_id );
    if (!empty($time_since) && !empty($link_url) 
    {
	$anchor = '<a href="'.esc_url($link_url).'" title="'.esc_attr($title).'">'.$date.'</a>';		
        ?>
        <span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author">
          <?php
              bbp_author_link(array('post_id'=>bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(),'size'=> 14));
          ?>
        </span>
        <?php	
    }
    else {$anchor = 'esc_html__( 'No Topics', 'bbpress' );};
    ?>
</p>
		
<?php
echo apply_filters( 'bbp_get_post_time', $anchor, $forum_id, $time_since, $link_url, $title, $active_id );
?>

Topics list:

<p class="bbp-topic-meta">
    <span class="bbp-topic-freshness-author"><?php bbp_author_link(array('post_id =>bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(),'size'=>14)); ?></span>
        <?php
	$topic_id   = bbp_get_topic_id();
	$reply_id   = bbp_get_topic_last_reply_id();
	$title      = bbp_get_topic_last_reply_title( $topic_id );
	$link_url   = bbp_get_topic_last_reply_url( $topic_id );
	$date   = get_post_time( 'd/m/Y', $gmt, $reply_id, true );
	$anchor = '<a href="'.esc_url($link_url).'" title="'.esc_attr($title).'">'.esc_html($date).'</a>';
	echo apply_filters( 'bbp_get_topic_freshness_link', $anchor, $reply_id, $result, $link_url, $title );	
	?>
</p>

As you can see, I didn’t hook anything already. So far I just got rid of the “bbp_topic_freshness_link()” in the templates and simply replaced the initial function by these lines, just to make a test. I still have to make a function out of these.

Not happy with this mess as I’m sure it’s more complicated that it should be, but it works.

Thank you for your guidance koendb!

Hi, search this code in css:

li.bbp-forum-info, li.bbp-topic-title {
    float: left;
    text-align: left;
    width: 49%;
}

Set width like 49% and correct visibility problems….

[ga13ush]

Thanks for your help

I looked in a lot of template files and try to delete the organge rounded (see picture) area but without any success.
Could someone please tell me in what template file I can remove the area?

I try it also here:

<?php ############################################################################################################################ ?>

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_topics_loop' ); ?>

<ul id="bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>" class="bbp-topics" style="clear: right;">

	<li class="bbp-body">

		<?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>
