I am using Buddy Press with bbpress on a rockettheme wp site using gantry frame works (whew)

No I created a page with short codes, but when the bbpress slug is the same as the page it does not format correctly.

Also when I change the slug back to ‘forums’ that link does not work either.

You can see it at ppsdc.com/main-board (this is the page with shortcodes, shows fine now because slug is different)

meanwhile the slug link ppsdc.com/forums shows the unformatted page.

If I change the slug to main-board I get the same thing as the above sentence.

I used the forum list widget so you can actually get to a forum and see those pages are fine.

Any Ideas??

hello

shortcode is good.

But how can I remove breadcrumbs plz ?

Because I use two shortcode :

[bbp-forum-index]

[bbp-topic-index]

And I have breadcrumbs for forum and an other for topic. Maybe make a shortcode like this is t possible ?

[bbp-topic-index breadcrumbs=false]

And are they way to say number topics to display ?

thx for help !

[John James Jacoby]

This will happen automatically in the next release of both. If your code above literally returns “nothing” then it isn’t even being executed, since you should at least see feedback about there being no topics. If you do at least see that feedback, then the problem lies in bbp_get_user_topics_started(). Check out how it works and see if there is anything broken.

Worst case scenario, you can call your own WP_Query loop and display them yourself.

Could someone tell me what theme BBPress.org is using?

Thanks!

[LabSecrets]

Unfortunately you can’t do that…bbpress doesn’t work with the native wp template, or child, it only works “within” the template structure (think of it like an insert that goes into the content area of the wp template).

As a result, just make a regular page with your wp theme, and add shortcode to the post editor. If you want you can style the wp template for header and footer and sidebar and width, etc., but not to add the short codes for bbpress

[ben_allison]

This seemed like a brilliant solution, but I’m sure I’m doing something wrong.

I already had a “forums” page, with the short code in place. The page slug is “forums.”

So, I figured I would make a template called page-forums.php, thinking that WordPress’s template hierarchy would take over… no such luck.

I will watch the vid when I get off the train. I’m sure the answer appears within the first 30 seconds…

Running bbPress with Buddypress.

Whilst viewing a user’s profile, I’d like to simply display topics and posts by a given user. I tried lifting this bit of code, but it returns nothing.

Idears?

<?php bbp_set_query_name( 'bbp_user_profile_topics_created' ); ?>

<div id="bbp-author-topics-started" class="bbp-author-topics-started">

<div class="entry-content">

<?php if ( bbp_get_user_topics_started() ) :

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/pagination', 'topics' );

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop',       'topics' );

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/pagination', 'topics' );

else : ?>

<p><?php bbp_is_user_home() ? _e( 'You have not created any topics.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'This user has not created any topics.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

</div><!-- #bbp-author-topics-started -->

Is there a setting or a way to set up bbPress so users can only register for one forum on one installation of bbPress? Is this an option or does it have to be coded in, and if it has to be coded in, is that something that can be done?

[LabSecrets]

Undoubtedly, your easiest way to go is to use shortcodes for this purpose. You simply create a new page for each view (like forum-view), then add the shortcode you prefer to the page via the post editor. In this case a forum view is easy and uses “bbp-forum-index” (within short code brackets…remove the quotes). Here is a list of shortcodes to start: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

You are the man, dude. That did it .

[Martin]

Well, I’ve got these installed:

bbPress Moderation

reCaptcha for bbPress 2.0

WangGuard

I also have ‘Anyone Can Post’ turned on as well. Little Spam coming my way now BUT I’d love if IntenseDebate was bbPress compatible

[LabSecrets]

Sounds like what you want to do is use shortcodes, after installing the default bbPress plugin (or installing BuddyPress version).

You’ll still want (need) a little styling of the default twentyten template style to help it match your current theme, but otherwise the bbPress forums can be added to a page with just the shortcodes features you wish to display:

See shortcodes here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

We’ve done a little tutorial video that shows how this might work with your theme (forward to the “hybrid” option in the video, about mid-way)

We’ve done a little tutorial video to show how you can setup either a BuddyPress Group Forum, a SiteWide bbPress 2.0 Forum, or a custom hybrid forum page using shortcodes. You can have all three at one time. Hope this helps

I have a WordPress Blog and want to link to a bbPress forum site through a button in the main menu of the blog template (Forex Titan). I can’t figure out how to do this. I change the html code but it changes back to the original WordPress permalink. Is there a plugin to change the link URL’s in the permalinks?

[psupps]

I’ve also just noticed that if you go to:

http://www.proteinsupps.co.uk/forums/forum/test/

In the breadcrumb trail, there are two instances of ‘Forums’ link.

Really would appreciate help on this!

[johnmast]

I install bbpress and everything was fine except the bbp-topics box (I dont know if Ι said correctly)

Take a look here http://consoleon.gr/forum/playstation-3/how-to-ps3/

Everything is look fine but the layout of this box isn’t like other, it’s small.

How i can fix it?

Thanks in advance

And sorry for the bad english

BBPress Login stopped working for everyone all of a sudden. I was removing and/or moving old topics and I removed two forums. In the middle of tiding forum it logged me out and now I can’t login again!

When I click “login” it redirects me to homepage (so do every user!). I can’t access /bb-admin/ either

Please help! It’s urgent!

PS

1. I went to PHPMyAdmin and hit “repair” on entire database but it didn’t change anything.

[freequency]

I love bbPress for it’s simplistic design, but setting it up can be a bitch especially if you don’t care for standard sidebars & widgets like me, so:

Getting bbpress to work wonders is as easy as 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12!!

On 2012-01-19, this is what I did to originally setup my forums for a free wireless network:

0) Pre-clarification: [???] means some number, like twenty[???] means twentyten or twentyeleven

1) Downloaded most recent WordPress, setup database and installed it.

2) Installed bbpress:

go to http://yoursite.dom/wp-admin/ > Log in to admin > Plugins > Add New > search for “bbpress” > Install Now

3) Copied contents of bbpress theme folder to wordpress theme folder:

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twenty[???] to /wp-content/themes

(this is done ONLY so that we can select the bbforums theme and it’s handy templates: Please note that you should only make modifications in the /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twenty[???] folder NOT the /wp-content/themes/bbp-twenty[???] folder as the bbpress plugin will not read those)

4) Switched to the bbpress theme

Log in to admin > Appearance > Themes > under the “Available Themes” section I activated the “bbPress (Twenty [???])” Theme

5) Created my home page, login page, register page, and lost password page:

Log in to admin > Pages > Add New > set title to “Home” | right hand column > Page Attributes > set Templates to “bbPress – Forums (index)”

Log in to admin > Pages > Add New > set title to “Login” | right hand column > Page Attributes > set Templates to “bbPress – User Login”

Log in to admin > Pages > Add New > set title to “Register” | right hand column > Page Attributes > set Templates to “bbPress – User Register”

Log in to admin > Pages > Add New > set title to “Lost Password” | right hand column > Page Attributes > set Templates to “bbPress – User Lost Password”

6) Switched WordPress frontpage from the blog to my home/forums page:

Log in to admin > Settings > Reading > Front page displays > Clicked “a static page…” > set front page to “Home” (and left posts page blank)

7) Allowed New Users to Register

Log in to admin > Settings > General > Under Membership I checked “Anyone can register”

Created and Modified my header, footer, and sidebar files:

All theme modifications MUST be done within the wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twenty[???] folder and not the folder you just copied to the wordpress theme folder as bbpress will only read files within in it’s own local plugin (see #3).

The theme doesn’t come with these files installed, so copy them from another theme like twenty[???]:

wp-content/themes/twenty[???]/header.php to wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twenty[???]

wp-content/themes/twenty[???]/footer.php to wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twenty[???]

wp-content/themes/twenty[???]/sidebar.php to wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twenty[???]

I then stripped them to my satisfaction making sure to keep WordPress’ header action hook, wp_head();, and then styled them accordingly.

One of the things I added to the header.php was my menu and such:

<?php

$text .= '<options>';

if(is_user_logged_in()) {

global $current_user;

get_currentuserinfo();

$text .= 'You are logged in as '.$current_user->display_name.'
Your Profile | Your Topics | Your Replies | Logout';

}

else $text .= 'Login | Register | Lost Password';

$text .= "
" . get_search_form(false);

$text .= '</options>';

echo $text;

?>

If a visitor is not logged in the above menu will show links to the pages I just created in #5, but make sure that the page_id matches the correct page. You can do this by checking the Permalink of that page:

Log in to admin > Pages > All Pages > select the page your interested in > notice the page_id in the permalink & make sure it matches in the header file.

If a visitor is logged in, it will show who you are logged in as, give you a link to:

your profile (/wp-admin/profile.php)

your profile (/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=topic)

your posts (/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=reply)

and a link to logout ( wp_logout_url() )

This menu will then print a search form.

9) Installed Search bbPress plugin:

Log in to admin > Plugins > Add New > search for “search bbpress” > Install Now

If you don’t do this, wordpress’ search form won’t search your forums.

10)wordpress avatars & bbPress Avatars:

As of 2012-01-19, the latest version of WordPress (and therefore bbPress) has Gravitars support built in. So, if you sign up at https://en.gravatar.com/site/signup, you can associate an email address with your avatar. And if you also use that email address as the one you used for your wordpress/bbpress account then bbpress and wordpress will automatically show that avatar associated with the email address you supplied to gravitar.

Simple Local Avatars:

If you’re like me, you don’t want to force your visitors to sign up with gravitar, so the simplest avatar solution I found was to install the “Simple Local Avatars” Plugin:

Log in to admin > Plugins > Add New > search for “Simple Local Avatars” > Install Now

An avatar section will now display at the bottom of your profile page at /wp-admin/profile.php

11) Consolidating bbPress profile pages

bbPress gives you the choice of editing your profile in two places, but since avatars only show up at /wp-admin/profile.php and not index.php?bbp_user=[???]&edit=1 we will consolidate the profile editing to just /wp-admin/profile.php . To do this, we add the follwoing code to the end (but before the ?> ) of the wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twenty[???]/functions.php file:

add_filter('bbp_get_user_edit_profile_url', 'my_bbp_get_user_edit_profile_url', 10, 0);

function my_bbp_get_user_edit_profile_url () {

return "/wp-admin/profile.php";

}

This basically overwrites the bbp_get_user_edit_profile_url function whereever it’s used.

12) I’m done! For now at least. Hope that helps. Those were the things I cared about.

Hi,

Can current 2.0.x codebase could allow that feature writing a specific plugin?

Is that implemented in current 2.1 development version?

regards.

[midsummermagic1111]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are a lot of people looking for this! I will keep your link in case I come across more. You have put an end to my headache!!! Thank you!

[will_c]

You can just copy the function but replace reply with topic. I’ve pasted the code below. So you’d have two functions, one for replies and one for topics:

function bpt_topic_activity($topic_id = 0, $forum_id = 0) {

$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id($topic_id);

$user_fullname = bbp_get_user_profile_link(bbp_get_current_user_id());

$topic_link = '<a class="topic_link" href="' . bbp_get_topic_permalink($topic_id) . '" title="' . bbp_get_topic_title($topic_id) . '">' . bbp_get_topic_title($topic_id) . '</a>';

$forum_link = '<a class="forum_link" href="' . bbp_get_forum_permalink($forum_id) . '" title="' . bbp_get_forum_title($forum_id) . '">' . bbp_get_forum_title($forum_id) . '</a>';

$my_content = bbp_get_topic_content($topic_id);

$user_id = bbp_get_current_user_id();

$the_action = " created the topic ";



bp_activity_add(array(

'user_id'               => $user_id,

'type'                  => 'new_forum_topic',

'action'                => ''. $user_fullname . '' . $the_action . '' . $topic_link . '<span class="activity_forum_link"> in the forum ' . $forum_link . '</span>',

'item_id'               => $topic_id,

'secondary_item_id'     => $forum_id,

'content'               => $my_content,

'component'             => 'bbpress',

'recorded_time'         => bp_core_current_time(),

'hide_sitewide'         => false

));



return;

}

add_action('bbp_new_topic', 'bpt_topic_activity');

Ok thx a lot for this informations. I understand and I ‘m ok with what you say

I try a lot of thing, first I created a forum.php who overwrite the template and with that I can remove sidebar or make a specific sidebar.

I remove the sidebar for a full width page, and make 2 div with float properties to have on the left [bbp-forum-index]] and on the right bbp-topic-index

But it was not exactly what I want because when I click on a forum this positionning disapear.

So I do more simply, just a custom page like you said me before with default template of my theme (content + sidebar)

And put bbpress widget in the sidebar and for moment it’s a quite good.

I use widget logic, but !!!!! I nearly killed me !!!!!… LOL to find the good conditional . I find this good post –> https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-conditional-tags .

Maybe a bug ? or something I do wrong but !bbp_is_forum() not work. I use :

!(is_post_type_archive( ‘forum’ ) || is_singular( array( ‘forum’, ‘topic’, ‘reply’ ) ))

It will be best if “last Topic widget” have more “design” like the column ‘topic’ when I use bbp-topic-index with the poster name and the category

The same for “forum list widget”, it’s just .. a list :p with no indentation and with the “any” option, it’s difficult to understand all. Perhaps a pagetree ? or something else.

I begin to use bbpress hope it wil be best ^^. Thx

PS: excuse me for bad english , I ‘m french

[Anointed]

Would probably be easier if the plugin author allowed it to filter for post-types as a value to not display on. Forum is a post-type just like topic and reply are. Has nothing to do with categories at all and if that is the only option the plugin has to filter by, then it won’t work right.

[Anointed]

You create your own pages where you can insert login, register, lost password shortcodes, widgets, custom templats, anything you want.

You can then use those pages you created as the uri in the widgets.

This allows everyone to have completely custom login/registration setups and the widget will work with any one of them.
