Hi

Is there a time / place location where I can promote extensions that have been written for bbPress (including discount codes?).

Is this the time and place? can anyone suggest an alternative?

[John James Jacoby]

Drop feedback about bbPress 2.3.1 here!

See the 2.3.1 milestone on Trac for changes.

From the blog post:

Also in bbPress 2.3.1, we’ve disabled the use of WordPress’s visual editor (aka TinyMCE.) The HTML editor is still available, and works extremely well. If you want to enable the visual editor again, we’ve added a code snippet to the codex that will turn it back on for you.

How do I display the username on every forum page. Like:

You are logged in as [USERNAME] or You are logged in as [Guest]

Also,

Is there a shortcode for displaying the username ?

I know this question has been asked alot on how to embed video and add youtube videos, I know how to do this by simply posting the link in the topic…. and it will automatically insert the youtube video…

But my problem is i want to have a few video tutorials that i want to insert and the mp3 or mp4 files are located on my server, i dont want to upload them to youtube…

so i was wondering if their was a way to use my own videos, i have already tried inserting the link that points to my server http://mysite.com/video.mp3 and it will not work that way..

So i tried creating a topic from the admin and use the insert media and it did not work that way , then i tried using a plugin to allow jw player shortcode and it did not work that way either… this is one of the plugins i tried using http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/ with no sucess…

Then i tried adding this code to my functions.php

add_filter(‘bbp_reply_content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);
add_filter(‘entry_content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);
add_filter(‘bbp-reply-content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);
add_filter(‘entry-content’, ‘jwplayer_tag_callback’);

this method did not work, it seems almost impossible to add my own video from my server, most the topics are super old 3 to 4 yrs old which really doesnt apply to the latest version of bbpress since so much of the code has changed, if someone could help me out or point me in the right direction i would appreciate it…

I am not trying to let my users be able to use shortcodes as i read they are a security risk and i am not trying to let my users be able to upload or use their own videos from a strange server..

I just want to be able to use my own videos instead of using youtube.

I recently installed bbpress on my site (great plug-in, by the way). I’m currently working out the kinks.

One of my biggest problems is that the search function doesn’t work. See http://www.churchofficehelpdesk.com/test where I’m using the shortcode. I’ve used words that I know are on the site. Not only do they not show up, but “sorry, no results were found appears multiple times on the results page.”

Thanks for any help!

Hello,

I recently upgraded from the old version of bbPress that comes with BuddyPress to the bbPress plugin, and I’m using version 2.3 of the bbPress plugin.

Previously when using BuddyPress and the old version of bbPress, from the topics page (which showed all the topics across all groups), I could see a Create New Topic form at the bottom of the page which would allow me to select a group from the list of groups that are available to me and create a new topic in that group.

Unfortunately, since upgrading to the bbPress plugin, this form is now gone.

I was told that I could add the form back by adding a shortcode to the topics page in my theme, but it’s not clear to me which particular page I need to change. Note that I only want this form to appear on the topics page.

Can anyone help me get this Create New Topic form back?

[Jeff Farthing]

Hmmm… It looks like bbPress has reincorporated the bbp_code_trick functions itself, eh? I guess there’s my answer.

[Jeff Farthing]

I haven’t dug deep enough yet, but on my support forum, I use the quicktags solution from the legacy bbPress, including the filters to allow regular users to post code. That is, the functions that were named bbp_code_trick, bbp_code_trick_reverse, bbp_encodeit, bbp_decodeit.

However, since the 2.3 upgrade, all code users post has the quotes (possibly other things) escaped in both the topic body and the editable text area.

Any ideas what changed, so that I don’t have to dig through?

Apologies if this is considered cross-posting, as this appears as a reply to another thread (but that other thread title isn’t similar). The other thread is… http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/#post-133638

Ok, so newbie here who knows html and understands coding but is really keen to not screw up the site that someone else has built for me (so apologies if the answer is above and I’m not seeing it).

The site is http://www.heavenlyz.com and, I think, I’m using the “Nollie” theme.

I’ve installed bbpress, created a couple of forums and – via the great info on this thread – created a page called “Boardroom”, into which I’ve inserted the “[bbp-forum-index]” shortcode. Hey presto, after much head scratching, I can now see a forum index on http://www.heavenlyz.com/boardroom/…woohoo

But, my next challenge is to be able to open one of the forums shown. Am struggling with this.

Having searched, the most relevant answer seems to be… http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/non-functional-index-page-when-bbpress-2-1rc4-is-used-with-woothemes-canvas-5-05/#post-133638

If you think there is a better (read “easier” 🙂 solution, then please suggest but if not, please read on…

Because I am using the Nollie theme – I think – the parent/ child argument in that thread doesn’t apply, so am looking at changing the root page.php only (to be honest, I wouldn’t know how to work out whether the child page exists/ how to find the child page).

In the thread linked to above, Lab says

Next, change the entry div as shown, to modify the current conditional check to ALSO see if you are on a bbPress page. Without this extra bit, it assumes that you want the page to show the_excerpt() on every page other than single.php …. not true. We want full content on bbPress pages as well

But my page.php says…

ID, ‘mfn-post-layout’, true) ) {
case ‘left-sidebar’:
$class = ‘ with_aside aside_left’;
break;
case ‘right-sidebar’:
$class = ‘ with_aside aside_right’;
break;
default:
$class = ”;
break;
}
?>

Where’s the “entry div”? Apologies if this is a laughably stupid question.

All help appreciated. N.b. As I’m learning, to start with, I’d rather keep the changes simple and effective rather than complex and golden.

At first, sorry about my english, i’m not fluent.
WordPress version:3.5.1
bbPress version: 2.3
Theme: Origin version 0.3.5

The problem don’t happen with TwentyTwelve.
I’m using a very modified version of Origin from AlienWP. Everything works fine with bbPress, except any forum page (list of topics). It stays blank.

Checking the code in this blank page, we can see that nothing after site description is loaded, not even the content is opened. Theme header stops at this point:

`…

/** STOPS HERE ***/

…`

I tried to create a new “normal” page and use the shortcode [bbp-single-forum id=2633] to list topics;, it works, but there’s a link on breadcrumbs (inside each topic) that still pointing to original forum list.

I really don’t want to change my theme, so any idea is appreciated.

@enlightentogether
Easy: create a new page, name it anything and paste the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] on it.

I did the same and it works, but there is a problem: the link to forum “main page” on breadcrumbs still pointing the blank “original” one. I noticed that you’re using Oxygen theme from AlienWP; i’m using Origin (same developer) and have the same problem. Unfortunately they don’t give support for these free themes (except we buy an Membership for 39 bucks…)

When viewing a forum or a topic in the forum?

Actually, now everything works right. I must have made some mistakes in the code first time.

Close this topic please.

[aukesch]

I use BBPress-topic-to-post plugin to replace my wordpress replies for bbpress topics.
Now I face the problem that I would like to link from BBpress forum to my posts
Can anybody help me?

f.e.
domain.com/forums/forum/forumname contains links to forumtopics. These links I’d like to redirect to the orginal post

So changing the link from
domain.com/forums/topic/xxx/ (xxx is a post AND a forumtopic thanks to the plugin)
to
domain.com/xxx/

Hope my questiosn is clear. If not, I’m looking for the file with the hardcode of domain.com/forums/forum/forumname

Hi – i’ve been trying out various options for setting up a forum within/alongside wordpress.
It looks like my final choice will be bbPress – however I still seem to have one outstanding issue that I can’t seem to solve (have done plenty of searching as well).

The install is fresh today with current versions of wordpress & bbPress – no other plugins are currently enabled & i’m just using the twenty twelve theme at the moment.

I have set up a registration page using the registration short code.
When you submit a registration, it takes you to the WP-admin login page…i’d prefer to keep the user in the front end at all times & direct them to a landing page to say thank you & check your inbox.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Tom

[nick robinson]

How do I enlarge or alter the colour of these tags?

I’ve added this code to the end of bbpress.css without luck

#bbp-forum-title {
font-size: 16px;
}

Are they picking up the h3 style after this css is processed?

[Daniel Lemes]

I have the very same issue and to make it clear: i’m using Origin theme too, and the breadcrumbs on topic page have a link to forums list (works fine) and to forum which those topic belongs (don’t work).

Even creating a blank page with the shortcode [bbp-topic-index], how to use same slug (WordPress automatically puts a number 2 in the end)?

Forums list (working fine) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/
Forum (not working) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/forum/sega-mega-drive-genesis
Topic (working fine) http://www.memoriabit.com.br/forums/topic/super-monaco-gp/

Thanks in advance.

Hello.

I am having the same problem. Forums appear on my site at this link http://www.enlightentogether.com/forums

But when clicking further there is a blank page. I added a topic which I am able to see when I insert the shortcode in a page so the problem may be the theme? I have heard other users say insert a shortcode into pages so the forum works properly but I am completely clueless on how to do this.

Do you know of any video tutorials relating specifically to inserting shortcodes for forums or articles? I have seen tutorials for inserting shortcodes for all kinds of things but not bbpress.

[Rachel Biel]

I need help making a couple of changes in how my forum looks.  I’m using a Parallelus theme (Salutation) and they have not updated their theme yet to the latest buddy/bbPress changes.  I asked for help on their forum (as to the styling) and they said that the theme just uses the basic bbPress layout.  I’m using bbPress 2.3, Buddypress 1.7.

Here is how the forum is laid out: http://www.tafaforum.com/user-groups/dyes/

I want the title of the discussion to basically change places and size with the text underneath it describing the topic and where the forum is.  I can barely see what the forum name is and if we have an avatar, we sure don’t need a big name in bold.

I would assume that the same changes would affect the Activity Streams: http://www.tafaforum.com/activity-streams/

Here’s the catch: please spell it out for someone who can’t code.  I wish there were a plugin that I could use or shortcode…  Is this something that I will have to change everytime there is an update with the theme?

Well, hopefully someone can point me to a permanent solution as this one is far from useful.  Thanks!

Hi, I have a custom code that I use in the template loop-single-topic.php that show the current status of the topic:
http://pastebin.com/UaNkLNQs

I use this code after this part:

http://pastebin.com/27U1BRdE

How I can make this a plugin to simply add this content to bbpress without the need of editing the file?

Thanks

[kannued]

Okay, I had to add shortcode bbp-topic-index to my index.php which brought the front page back to the way it was before the update of bbpress2.3. Why would this happen? I shouldn’t have to make coding changes every time there is an updated bbpress plugin. I never had to re-code after an update before.

[kriskl]

sorry to bump this..

I guess the award was small? I thought it would be easy thing to do for someone who knows bbpress code very well…

but I think it is very important feature

 

users coming from other forums  are lost using bbpress forums..

and after migrating from buddy press forums to bbpress –  the usage of bbpress forums dropped by 50%  🙁

I mean, in new topics….. therefore I suspect users can’t find the button.. / link

I have created a new page > start a new topic and the link is even in the main menu.. but still it is not good enough unfortunately..

Please see the documentation for Using bbPress in Your Language to see how you can supply your own files: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-in-your-language/

[kannued]

Okay, how do I include code in the posts? I tried the “code” with the opening and closing tags around my actual code, but as you can see above, it removed the code totally.
