I cant get my jwplayer shortcode to work in bbpress. I am aware of the shortcode issue in bbpress. But I need all shortcodes to work in bbpress. Security is not an issue at this point.

I tried the (get_shortcode)code in the theme fuctions.php file with no result. Not really sure if I was supossed to put it in the wordpress theme or the bbpress theme. Maybe im writing the code in the wrong spot, I’m not the strongest on php my strengths are html, css, and design. This issue has been a thorn in my side for about a week. So if anyone can tell me exactly where to place the–

add_action( ‘bbp_get_reply_content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

php script so I can get this thing flowing, I would def owe you a buck.

also i get an error when i try and install shortcode whitelist and bbcode

Great! Works like a charm … Thank you for fixing!

You can copy and paste a current loop file and rename to something like loop-custom-forums.php then when you want to call that loop you can use:

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'custom-forums' ); ?>

Good luck!

If you learn to copy function names and do a search for them through your whole bbpress plugin folder, you can pretty much find out how anything works, this is how I worked this out. Think I had to go through a trail of 5 or 6 files until I worked it out

This is great advice for anyone wanting to customize their bbPress. I have found out many different bits and pieces by doing exactly this.

May I ask:

I am looking at simple:press versus bbPress. So I am interested in: WHY would you like to go for bbPress over simple:press?

I can answer that. SimplePress have just started charging for their support! My wife was encouraged by the developers to use their new version 5 when she was looking for a forum plug-in to her WordPress blog. Just when she was up and running they started charging and coincidentally she developed a bug in her forum at the same time after an update. She did not even receive notification that this was going to happen. I’m pretty disappointed with them for not telling her this was in the pipeline because she would have taken this into account and we’d have gone for BBPress in the first place.

She is so desperate now she’s almost at the point of paying for the support to sort the problem out but I would rather manually migrate to another forum just on principle.

We have tried contacting the developers at SimplePress but they are not interested.

Tried the shortcode [bbp-register] it still redirects.

I’m using the bbpress 2.1 and the inclusion of the fancy editor was really great. Thanks for your job!

@sniper kitten, is there a quick way to add the smiley button to the editor?

I was looking at the code but can’t see work it out. Some help would be appreciated.

[rorymorris]

I just had to work this out for myself too…

I think you can use this wherever you need to in your topics loop or template / whatever..

<? $curTopicStatus = bbp_get_topic_status( $topic_id );

if($curTopicStatus == 'publish'){ ?>



This topic is still open



<? } else { ?>



This topic is now closed



<? } ?>

Hi, I just downloaded the licensed version of JW Player. I have it working fine on my websites main pages but not in bbpress. The div tag for the player is called in

as such:

<p style=”text-align: center;”><div id=”jwplayer-1-div” class=”Soundhampton Player”>

<div id=”jwplayer-1″></div>

When I post a video in Buddy Press the 2 Plugins don’t seem to be interacting. All i get is the shortcode posting in my forum.

as such:

[jwplayer config=”Soundhampton Player” mediaid=”1754″]

Can someone please tell me how to call the jwplayer div tag into bbpress in PHP? I think I understand what is happening, I just dint know how to get JW Player called into bbPress. Ive already checked the bbpress forum with no luck. This seems to be a first. Ive been researching this and tweaking my site for three days now.

Here is the working JW PLayer —-

And the non working one in Buddy Press

I forgot you might need to grab the current user id, depending on where you are trying to use that code.

<?php bbp_user_profile_url( bbp_get_current_user_id() ); ?>

I just tried it and it works perfectly in my header. Good luck.

[Lynq]

It does depend on the theme of course, but I will try my best. Also please remember that this involves editing the core and is not recommended (but I can’t see another way to achieve this?).

If you set the show_freshness_link to true and then add a freshness before of <td> and freshness_after of </td> this will add an extra td tag inside the template.

You will then need to add an extra <th> to the table heading, or it will break your table and you will have blank spaces inside the forum list.

If you are using a non table layout, then you just need to give it a class and deal with it in css like the reply count and post count data.

Inside loop-single-forum.php I changed my bbp_list_forums arguments to accept the changes inside the core function, for example…

array( 'show_freshness_link' => true, 'freshness_author_before' => '<div class="author-box">', 'freshness_author_after' => '</div>')

You can then change the freshness_author_before and the freshness_author_after values to change the html.

Good luck!

bbPress 2.0.2 is compatible with WP 3.3.2 AND BuddyPress 1.5.5

Since you’re using BuddyPress, check out https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

[stoeffel-media]

<?php echo bbp_user_profile_edit_url(); ?> isnt working, no output at all.

Any other suggestions? Cant be that difficult? Maybe someone from bbpress support can help?!

[Lemius]

Lynq: Thanks for sharing that. Incase there’s others like me who can play with the css and the html but don’t know knees from elbows about the php, can you maybe give a little advice on what would need to be customized in the theme to accommodate the changes you’ve made there?

I can’t readily tell what that code would effect. It’d be really appreciated.

Hi John,

I have this same issue. See my other topic here for a better explanation.

WP Menu does not stay active when navigating forums

Basically, the WP Menu that is linked to the forum is fine until you start to enter subforums and topics.

Same goes if you use a bbpress shortcode in a page and link it to a WP Menu item.

[Lynq]

That should echo it out for you as well I think.

If it doesn’t then you can just use echo in front of it. Might be a good idea to get to grips with a bit of PHP if you are looking at anymore customization.

It is fairly easy to move things around and echo different bits out.

echo bbp_user_profile_edit_url();

That is it

[Lynq]

Inside your theme folder for bbpress.

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/<YOUR_THEME>

[Lynq]

These will do the majority of your forum, in fact, I think they might do all of them? Check it out and see what you get.

if (get_post_type() == 'forum')

if (get_post_type() == 'topic')

if (get_post_type() == 'reply')



if((get_post_type() == 'forum') or (get_post_type() == 'topic') or (get_post_type() == 'reply')) {

get_header(‘page’);

} else {

get_header();

}

Give it a try.

I’m debugging a site right now and trying to get the “trash” link to show up for Subscribers as well as admins. This is a fresh install of WP 3.3.2, URE and bbPress 2.0.2. Despite checking the “delete_replies” box in User Role Editor, the link still does not show up for Subscribers!

Digging deeper: line 1370 of bbp-reply-template.php shows this:

if ( !current_user_can( 'delete_reply', $r ) && !empty( $r ) )

unset( $r );

… which is good – checks for permission, and if the user doesn’t have ‘delete_reply’ on $r node then it unsets the delete link.

So why does the URE checkbox not enable this link? Looking at an unserialized string of user capabilities for the current Subscriber role shows this:

...

'subscriber' =>

array (

'name' => 'Subscriber',

'capabilities' =>

array (

'assign_topic_tags' => 1,

'delete_replies' => 1,

'delete_topics' => 1,

'edit_replies' => 1,

'level_0' => 1,

'publish_replies' => 1,

'publish_topics' => 1,

'read' => 1,

),

),

...

and we see here that the capability showing is ‘delete_replies’, NOT ‘delete_reply’!!

So all that needs to be done to fix this is adding another capability in URE that lists as ‘delete_reply’ instead of ‘delete_replies’. Easy fix!

Here’s the disclaimer: there are a ton of plugins installed right now, so I’m not even sure ‘delete_replies’ permission is part of bbPress. If bbPress indeed does not add its own delete permission, then this is NOT a bug – just an interesting quirk!

[Nate]

@Lynq … which folder?

Thanks!

[stoeffel-media]

I am not very good in php, how do I display this link? Do you have a code for me with echo function?, thx!

[Lynq]

I found this in the template files.

<?php bbp_user_profile_edit_url(); ?>

[sxalexander]

This is a bit late, but I think there’s another way to solve this.

I think the most WordPress-y way to accomplish this is to add the following to your theme’s /functions.php:

add_post_type_support('forum', array('thumbnail'));

This will add the featured image metabox to all forums. See here for more details:

Hello everyone.

I already searched for my problem but couldnt find any working solution for my bbpress 2.0.2.

Since there is no direct link for users to change their profile (not good), therefore I am searching to generate a link to put in a header or so.

I only found solutions for older bbpress installations with user id (number) but in the new bbpress it looks like you need userNAMES.

Can somebody paste me a working php code to display a profile-link? Thx!
