Hi,

I’m currently trying to adjust the styles of my bbpress install and am running into a bit of difficulty. I’m running bbPress 2.3.2 and WP 3.6, using my own theme which is based on “Twenty Twelve.”

I noticed some big spaces in the header on each page and went to reduce the space. It turns out there are a bunch of different paragraph tags in the header for each “topic” on my site, but these tags do not appear on example sites listed on bbpress.org.

This first snippet is the code I’d like to have so I can style it (taken from http://www.dalluva.com/member-area/forums/topics/resources-where-to-get-your-sommelier-certification/):

<li class=”bbp-header”>
<div class=”bbp-reply-author”>Author</div><!– .bbp-reply-author –>
<div class=”bbp-reply-content”>Posts</div><!– .bbp-reply-content –>
<!– .bbp-header –>

This is what my site is generating:

<li class=”bbp-header”>
<div class=”bbp-reply-author”>Author</div><p><!– .bbp-reply-author –></p>
<div class=”bbp-reply-content”><p>Posts</p></div><p><!– .bbp-reply-content –></p>

Why is my site putting paragraph tags around the comments, as well as the word “Posts”? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Benjamin

I am using this version, but it’s not working with bbPress v1.1

Has someone a clue?

//add target=_blank to post links

function bb_target_blank( $text ) {

$text = preg_replace('|<a (.+?)>|i', '<a $1 target="_blank">', $text);

return $text;

}

add_filter('pre_post', 'bb_target_blank');

?>

I’m having the same problem as kiagua and Andy Smith
WordPress 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2

exactly the same error message, referencing line 1199. Interestingly the warning shows up twice.

Anyway, here’s the whole function which contains that line:`/**
* Adds ability to include or exclude specific post_parent ID’s
*
* @since bbPress (r2996)
*
* @global DB $wpdb
* @global WP $wp
* @param string $where
* @param WP_Query $object
* @return string
*/
function bbp_query_post_parent__in( $where, $object = ” ) {
global $wpdb, $wp;

// Noop if WP core supports this already
if ( in_array( ‘post_parent__in’, $wp->private_query_vars ) )
return $where;

// Bail if no object passed
if ( empty( $object ) )
return $where;

// Only 1 post_parent so return $where
if ( is_numeric( $object->query_vars[‘post_parent’] ) )
return $where;

// Including specific post_parent’s
if ( ! empty( $object->query_vars[‘post_parent__in’] ) ) {
$ids = implode( ‘,’, array_map( ‘absint’, $object->query_vars[‘post_parent__in’] ) );
$where .= ” AND $wpdb->posts.post_parent IN ($ids)”;

// Excluding specific post_parent’s
} elseif ( ! empty( $object->query_vars[‘post_parent__not_in’] ) ) {
$ids = implode( ‘,’, array_map( ‘absint’, $object->query_vars[‘post_parent__not_in’] ) );
$where .= ” AND $wpdb->posts.post_parent NOT IN ($ids)”;
}

// Return possibly modified $where
return $where;
}`

line 1199:`
if ( in_array( ‘post_parent__in’, $wp->private_query_vars ) )
return $where;`

This might sound like a wild hack in the dark but I thought I’d have a go at simply making the second parameter an array, like so:

// Noop if WP core supports this already
	if ( in_array( 'post_parent__in', array($wp->private_query_vars) ) )
		return $where;

and much to my surprise this seems to have solved the problem in as much as the error warning is gone and as far as I can tell so far, the two (private) fora I have set up seem to be running as normal.

I’m still getting a 500 server error… Not sure what is going on. You have done a wonderful job with the code though. What would cause custom imports to fail and not built in imports?

Hi,

I was hoping that someone could tell me if there is there a way to display a list of child forums for specific parent using a shortcode?

For example, I have a number of private member forums that visitors need to login to view. I want to have a page that they visit to logon with the list of private forums below.

http://www.blueclouditsolutions.com/asap/
Wordpress version: 3.6
bbpress version: 2.3.2

Thanks for your help.

Steve.

[johni33]

No, it’s still doing it, no response from bbpress.

[nvkodde]

Were you able to figure out this problem? I’m having the same issue.

[Stephen Edgar]

I downloaded a trial of Social Engine and I have now set it up to test with…

I am using Social Engine v4.6.0, what version do you have/using???

I may have missed it but I was unable to select a table prefix for the MySQL database during install so all the Social Engine v4.6.0 database tables all have a common prefix of ‘engine4_’ and here is a pic of the MySQL DB structure for the forum tables.

With your importer I noticed that with your ‘from_tablename’ for each section you are using multiple table names in each section. eg. In the ‘forum section’ you have used ‘se_forums’, ‘se_forumtopics’ & ‘forum’ for ‘from_tablename’, you can really only use a single database table for each section unless you have a valid set of ‘join_tablename’, ‘join_type’ & ‘join_expression’.

In my updated import script that I will link to below I used ‘forum_forums’ for each field in the ‘forum section’ and on the bbPress import screen I used a table prefix of ‘engine4’ thus the query during import will use all the forum info from the ‘engine4_forum_forums’ database table as per my image above.

I started with the copy of your import script you linked to which was a great help in getting up and running quickly and I have updated it with as many fields as I can find and things ‘appear’ to be working quite well at my end though some more testing is still needed.

Anyway, you can take a look at the update I did which also brings some code tweaks and formatting inline with the other bbPress Importers.

As long as you are using Social Engine v4.6.0 I think this should help a great deal, if your using an old v3 version we will have to see if I can get my hands on a copy of that.

One more thing… What about users? Do you need tom convert/import them???
(I will end up adding the user import to this for when others need to)

Without further ado…. Check it out here:
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/cefe6fe20b1a652a50fc
(It still needs a few more tweaks and checks, but it is close)

[tveryadvancedhelp]

I think you need to check that file php code, on line 1198, if there not some mistake. It’s showing 1199 but you always need to look back from that line to discover the problem.
you always can contact me verd733@gmail.com for help.

If ‘PHP-fusion’ uses a MySQL database you should be able to modify the included ‘Example.php’ import script.

You can take a stab at modifying the included ‘Example.php’ included with bbPress to try importing your forums just as @vogelsang did for importing from Drupal. There are some basic instructions here on creating your own custom imports for bbPress.

Now I cannot create any new topics and I could not reply to this topic. I had to create this new account just to be able to reply. Can someone look into my account issue? A bit frustrating that there is no other support options besides these forums but I do understand.

@netweb Thanks! I did try Chrome, FireFox and IE initially and it was the same thing.

Here is my question.

WordPress 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2

I have bbPress and BuddyPress setup on a multisite network with sitewide and group forums. Is it possible to integrate the group forum with a multisite site?

ie.-
XYZ BuddyPress Group = http://mainsite.com/groups/xyz/forum
XYZ Blog = http://xyz.mainsite.com

Can the group forums integrate to the site? So if a post is made on the site it will show back on the group page or if on the group page it will go back to the site?

If that is not possible, is it possible to at least display the group forum data on the subsite with a shortcode or something?

Thanks for any help!

Cool, that the app that I have been using is already been with bbpress. As an ipad case reviewer, I frequently use bbpress and Tapatalk at the same time as it is required for us to do.

I was running into the same issue, here’s what I did:
I copied:
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-topic.php
into the root of my theme folder:
/wp-content/themes/(YourTheme)/form-topic.php

I renamed the file to:
form-topic-home.php

so I can call it separately and makes changes to it without having an impact on the normal add topic form.

In my new file I removed the if statements for testing if the page is a single forum or a topic edit, my form is going into a modal on my homepage, so neither of those will ever be necessary.

Starting at line 12 I deleted this:

<?php if ( !bbp_is_single_forum() ) : ?>

<div id="bbpress-forums">

	<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( bbp_is_topic_edit() ) : ?>

	<?php bbp_topic_tag_list( bbp_get_topic_id() ); ?>

	<?php bbp_single_topic_description( array( 'topic_id' => bbp_get_topic_id() ) ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

Next on what was line 28 I changed
<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_access_create_topic_form() ) : ?>
to
<?php if ( bbp_current_user_can_publish_topics() ) : ?>

The original code does a lot of checking if the user can edit forums, if we’re on a single page or if this is one off page, we’re really only looking for the current user’s ability to post topics, and we’re given that (inside that same function actually)

At the very bottom of the file you’ll also want to delete this:

<?php if ( !bbp_is_single_forum() ) : ?>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>

as it’s the closing div tag to the stuff we cut out at the top of the file.

Now where you were going to use the short code, call a template part instead, and you should be square.

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'topic-home' ); ?>

[Tecca]

These are being taken from your site’s CSS (non-bbPress side):

ul ul li:before
ul li:before

Those are the culprits. Add this to your bbPress.css file:

ul ul li:before {
    display: none;
}

ul li:before {
    display: none;
}

Or remove them altogether from your site’s CSS if you don’t need them.

Copying the RAW Paste data worked for me:
1. Rename existing group.php file located here as group.php.old:
/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress

2. Open notepad and paste the code located here: http://pastebin.com/nfYvigz4
3. Save the file and upload it to the directory above.

I’m now able to create groups. Hopefully things stay inline during the next BP or bpPress update.
