The stuff above it is the code you gave me so that is probably where the issue must be.
But I don’t know what could be wrong. Goodness this is so crazy.

[Lynq]

If you paste it and then select the text, then click the {} button just above that should format it as code for you.

It is probably before line 43 where the error lies and is not closing something off, so PHP continues happily until it hits line 43.

[Lynq]

What code do you have on line 43?

[Martin]

Line 43 is now:

Unsure where the missing ‘)’ is. This is so incredibly frustrating for a non-coder to make a minor adjustment.

Hi Martin,

You should not edit the core code.

Inside your template files is a file called loop-single-forum.php, this file calls the bbPress function bbp_list_forums();

You will notice that it is probably not specifying any arguments it just specifies bbp_list_forums();

If you specify arguments for that function like the ones listed above it will then wrap the subforums inside li tags which you can then use CSS to style.

Good luck!

P.s if you want to find out more about how that function works it is inside /bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-template.php but you do not need to edit it.

Seeing how this will format:

$args = array (
        'before'            => '',
        'after'             => '',
        'link_before'       => '',
        'link_after'        => '',
        'count_before'      => '',
        'count_after'       => '',
        'count_sep'         => '',
        'separator'         => '',
        'forum_id'          => '',
        'show_topic_count'  => true,
        'show_reply_count'  => true
);

bbp_list_forums( $args );

[John James Jacoby]

No no no. Don’t hack core. Copy whichever template file has this call to it, directly into your theme, in the same location it is in bbp-theme-compatibility. Use the code above, but correctly formatted.

well I get a bit of an error, like so:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS, expecting ')' in /Users/MartinC/Sites/gaj/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat/bbpress/loop-single-forum.php on line 25

Warning: missing endblock() for startblock('middle') in /Users/MartinC/Sites/gaj/wp-content/themes/parallelus-mingle/framework/theme-functions/layout-and-design.php on line 137

Any ideas?
Would have preferred to do it via CSS since hacking the core code will get overwriten but if it can’t be helped then it can’t.

No idea on this error though.
Thanks for any help
Martin

[John James Jacoby]

🙂 Eventually. Not *quite* there yet. Need to fill in some copy here first, migrate the codex, etc…

[Lynq]

I seem to be having trouble posting code to the forum, it wants to cut off the first part of it. Anyone else having issues or is this me doing something wrong?

[Erlend]

Loving it!

Some “could be nice”s:

Frontpage: I think the 1-3 latest blog posts ought to be shown prominently somewhere on the front page.

Forum: Have you considered using the excellent WP Markdown plugin for this forum? I find it to be a really clever, future-proof alternative to bbcode.

You can do this with jQuery

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

$('a[href^="http://"]').filter(function(){
return this.hostname && this.hostname !== location.hostname;
})
.click( function() {
window.open(this.href);
return false;
});

});

Might be able to clean it up a bit and modify it for use with multisite, but it’s a start.

Oops, the code got parsed funky. Basically, I’m using a variation of the code on this page: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/fetch_feed

[darkhorse20]

On some of my pages, I’m using the fetch_feed function to take the bbPress RSS feed to display the list items. After installing 2.1, none of the feeds are working anymore. Here’s the code I’m using:


get_item_quantity(3);
$items = $feed->get_items(0, $limit);
}
if ($limit == 0) echo 'The feed is either empty or unavailable.';
else foreach ($items as $item) : ?>
<a href="get_permalink(); ?>" title="get_date('j F Y @ g:i a'); ?>">get_title(); ?>get_description(), 13, 140); ?> <a href="get_permalink(); ?>">>>

Any idea why it’s not working anymore?

[John James Jacoby]

Does Membership-lite have any bbPress specific code in it? I suspect it has something to do with roles and capabilities. Maybe try deactivating bbPress, reactivating it, and visiting Settings > Forums. That silently does a bit of validation on some bbPress settings, in the event things get botched somehow.

[John James Jacoby]

Few biggish things to do:

* Migrate Codex
* Redirect Legacy Plugins
* Blog Sidebar and Comments

[Anointed]

I just saw a tweet about this plugin yesterday.

http://easydigitaldownloads.com/extension/content-restriction/

While I have not used it before, I know his code is rock solid and support is fantastic. It specifically mentions bbPress support and might be able to easily be modified to use groups instead of people who purchase a product. Might be worth asking him about.

If I ever pick up a copy, I’ll try to write up a full review on it as this feature has been requested for some time now.

[Anointed]

The code is in the core for you to use, though not yet implemented in the front end, the functions work.

version 2.0.2, sorry

still no solution here, can anyone help me please??

thanks

[zanzaboonda]

This fixed it for me, too. Thanks so much!

[presspressperson]

If only I had the time and knowledge.

PS netweb – ‘that is has that is that’?! Your grammatical apathy impresses me–and I am serious…not trying to be a jerk.

[Ronileco]

Thank you again Annointed.

I solved this issue by placing your code in: loop-forums.php, maybe this has changed in recent releases.

[Stephen Edgar]

Add the ‘bbPRess Recent Topics’ widget to a sidebar

https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/

Or use the [bbp-topic-index] shorcode

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[Stephen Edgar]

1. See the ‘Getting Started’ on Public, Private & Hidden forums

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/#getting-to-know-bbpress

2. See ‘Theme Compatibilty’

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

[Stephen Edgar]

You can use ‘shortcodes’ on your WP pages

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[Stephen Edgar]

Here is something to start with on 2.1 themes.
