Just to show the people who can code..

This is what I would like to do with a little bit of CSS and JS without adding my own <textarea> and BBcode buttons.

Real Pixels

The default toolbar buttons are positioned at the top of the <textarea> and with a little bit of JS I can hide it by default and let it pop-up when text inside the <textarea> is selected.
Right now I have to delete everything thats default and create my own <textarea> + BBcode buttons.

Great method Schmoo!

You can also create a page called “forums”, put your text there, and then add the shortcode

[bbp-forum-indexx]

but with only one x – sorry but even with code ticks the forum interprets this code, so cannot put it in exactly!

by the way the page doesn’t appear as an edit option in the toolbar, so you have to edit it via the dashboard, but that is how I achieved it.

Thanks Robin, that worked. I can’t believe it was that straight forward. I looked so often at that code snippet but never thought to change it.

Thanks for your help.

Just before the textarea and toolbar buttons WP or bbPress adds an stylesheet <link stylesheet .. blablabla.. > for styling the buttons and stuff like that.

How do I remove this ?
I want to style my own buttons inside the theme stylesheet not a custom-editor-buttons-stylesheet.css

I think it’s much better if bbPress gets it’s own toolbar , just like a comments-form instead of using the back-end stuff on the front-end.

You can’t really create a Child Theme for bbPress only.

But if you like to work with the Child Theme idea – I personally think it fails big time but some people really like it then just create a Child Theme if you would do the WP way.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

After that you simply add a folder called bbpress inside your Theme or Child Theme folder and copy-/paste the files over from your Plugins directory to your Theme or Child Theme directory.

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / defaults / extras / All those files are general Theme template files and will be read first if you copy them inside your Child Theme folder

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / defaults / bbpress / All those files are bbPress (forum) templates files and will be read first if you copy them inside your Child Theme/bbpress folder.

An image will show you better..

have you checked your bbpress forum settings page, or looked at the bbpress instructions ?

https://codex.bbpress.org/forum-settings/

Lock post editing after
Set this to the time (in number of minutes) to limit post editing. Once the time limit has been reached the forum post no longer be available for editing to forum participants. Administrators and bbPress Moderators can override this setting at any time.

I can help you with the second issue.

First, make a copy of the bbPress folder and search for ‘bbp_get_forum_pagination_count‘ in Explorer.

If you don’t get any results at first, make sure you’ve turned on text search for .php files:

1) Open the bbPress folder:
ALT key -> Tools -> Folder options -> Search tab -> Always search file names and contents

2) Make sure that .php files are included in file content searches:
Windows Start menu -> Type ‘Indexing Options and press return -> Advanced -> File types -> php -> Index properties and File Contents -> On

The result of the search should be:
bbpress/includes/topics/template-tags.php

Now, locate the function ‘bbp_get_forum_pagination_count‘ and remove the ‘Viewing topic…’ code.

If you also want to rempove it from searches, please search for ‘bbp_get_search_pagination_count‘ and repeat the procedure.

I hope this helps!

We would like to completely hide the freshness column throughout the forums. Could you please point me to other documentation or to the code to remove/hide freshness?

WP version 3.5.1
bbpress version 2.3.2

Have had a bit of a play.

Answer turns out to be very easy !

In line 799 just change

'type' => 'both'
to

'type' => 'avatar'

Then just the avatar displays.

By the by change it to

'type' => 'name' and guess what, just the name displays!

As said earlier make a note of what you have changed, as later upgrades will change this back.

[barrowr]

Thanks Robin.

If I hide author within the widget options it hides the avatar too, so I can’t go down that route.

Looked at the coded and I have been amending the lines at 798. Unfortunately no being too php savvy I can’t fathom which part is related to the avatar and the author link. Removing the line removes the avatar and the link. I could do with knowing which part of the code relates to which function.

Thanks again

Hi there! I really need some help with finding some shortcode for a custom wordpress page. I need to display a post count by a user. I have been searching for days and I cannot get anything to work. Any help you can give me would be most appreciated!

[redknite]

i can’t seem to get this to work… so it’s supposed to look like this?:

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_author_details' ); ?>
$user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo “@”.$user_nicename;
}
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>

I get a parse error when i do this. What am i doing wrong?

I’m trying to add a Twitter share button in the loop-single-reply.php so the button appears before each reply’s content:

…….
<?php do_action( ‘bbp_theme_before_reply_content’ ); ?>
**** [HERE the twitter share button code] *****
<?php bbp_reply_content(); ?>
……….

using the Twitter data-url parameter as: data-counturl=”<?php echo bbp_get_reply_url(); ?>

PROBLEM=SHARE WORKS+COUNTER DOESN’T: The button is sharing the page but not COUNTING. I tried to check everything around the twitter button, but I want to ask for your help in case the place and data-counturl is not correct for BBPRESS.

Please help!

Thanks
Ramiro.

If the link will always be the same you can remove the Root and manually add a custom one.

This is default.
<?php bbp_breadcrumbs(); ?>

Remove the Root.
<?php bbp_breadcrumbs( array( 'include_home' => false ) ); ?>

Than add your custom link before the Breadcrumbs tag.
<a href="google.com">Google</a> <?php bbp_breadcrumbs( array( 'include_home' => false ) ); ?>

Something like that ?

Sorry, I need to close a few Tabs in my editor because I was looking inside the wrong template.

This gets the login form.
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'user-login' ); ?>

And of course that file is located where it should be:

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / bbpress / form-user-login.php

Duh, stupid me!

[Shmoo]

Just curious,

When I sneakpeak in the ShortCode section I notice you can call the login form by.

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

This works great inside my templates and the bbPress login form pop’s up where I need him to be.

But now I need to add some classes for CSS reasons and I wandering where I can find the code-snippet of the default form used.

?

Hey all, i run this site, and im determined that it should all be ran by wordpress, its all going great etc. But, as soon as i installed my forum, i see that it uses this ugly style, with background color etc.

What id really like is no shadow on the text, no background, small border around the different forums and thats pretty much it.

Heres before: http://puu.sh/32WkF.png
Heres how i want it to be: http://puu.sh/32Wpf.png

I hope you understand my problem :/
Ive read this http://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/ but i cant seem to find the necessary files.

I hope you can help me out 🙂

[Robin W]

Sorry was being thick and quoted the code for the login display.

Having had a look at the widget, there is an option in the recent topics widget itself to hide author ie when you add the widget to a sidebar, you get options for no. posts to show, show author, show date etc. – does that not work?

That links to line 798 in the widgets php, so there would be you next step.

Go to the next path.

wp-content / plugins / bbpress / templates / default / bbpress / content-archive-forum.php

Copy the BOLD file into your Theme folder inside a new folder called [ bbpress ]

Like this:

wp-content / themes / [ your-theme-name ] / bbpress / content-archive-forum.php

Open the new ‘ content-archive-forum.php ‘ file and remove the following lines of code and save the changes.

<div class="bbp-search-form">

	<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>

</div>

[Shmoo]

You can find the Widgets of bbPress right here.

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

Thats the file you need to have. By default I don’t think you can drag your Widget-code out of there and start using it inside any other WP project. You probably have to add and redesign it to make it work.
