Hello guys,

I found this forum running on a single WP install and it’s very cheap.

http://dolcepixel.com/discussion-board-wordpress-theme/

It probably isn’t the best coded product in the world but what it does (i think) is it transforms your single WordPress installation into a forum (board) software.

Categories become forums, posts become topics and comments become replies.

Nothing wrong with that i think and if you’re smart enough to work with Custom Post Types you can still create your own Blog Posts on the side but for most people a Blog isn’t needed on a Board system.

Whats your idea of this?

I’m just a Rookie.

Problem i face with bbPress is that it’s too much on JJJ shoulders and only on his shoulders.

This guy is working his *** off all day and bbPress doesn’t seem to get picked up by the average WordPress user.

bbPress doesn’t get enough FEED and traffic from the WordPress.org website and everyday it’s getting spammed from every corner of the world..

I really love the way and idea behind bbPress as a plugin but it needs more professionals to take it of JJJ shoulders and bring it to the next level..

Hi. I’m trying to create a bbPress shortcode so that I can display topics that have a certain meta_key value. I’ve been trying to piece it together from the global bbpress shortcodes and wordpress shortcode tutorials.

I’m using a Dev4Press premium plugin to create the custom fields for each bbpress topic. (http://www.dev4press.com/download/plugin-gd-taxonomies-tools) Now I just have to figure out how to filter based on the custom data.

Here’s what I have. It isn’t going so well, and I’d love a tip.

<?php function FilterTopics($topics_query = array()) {

'meta_key' => 'ride_destination',

'post_type' => 'topic',

'posts_per_page' => -1

);

}



if ( bbp_has_topics( $topics_query ) ) {

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

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

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



// No topics

} else {

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/feedback',   'no-topics' );

}



add_shortcode('sitemap', 'GenerateSitemap');  ?>

Hello there!

I have installed buddypress to my site and chose to side wide installation of bbpress and installed

that plugin.

2 questions I would like to ask:

1. When I check the forums component in buddypress settings, I’m being told it might conflict with bbpress…I tought bbpress was the very forum included in buddypress?

And why would I then have to install bbpress as a seperate plugin when not choosing the “group forums” component but the side wide?

2. I can’t seem to find out how to just set up something that would look like a normal forum.

Similar to the one being used here in the site.

Please help!

Cheers

I have a WordPress 3.2.1. and bbPress 2.0.1

and in forum write this:

Warning: sprintf(): Argument number must be greater than zero in

xxxxxxxxxxxx.xx/web/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-forum-template.php on line 1690

What does this mean?

Thank you for super plugin.

Ok, so I managed to quite easily to integrate the /author/username archive into the /forum/users/username but that’s actually not what I want. Can someone tell me which code call the “forum topics created”, “Favorite Forum Topics” etc.? I can’t seem to find it.

[zofar143x]

When you click on someones profile in the forums you’ll be taken to the forum/users/username which shows what you’ve entered in the about section as well as your forum activities. However, when someone clicks on the when when viewing a (blog) post that the same user has written you’ll be taken to the /author/username page showing which articles that user has written.

What I would like to do is to integrate the /forum/users/username page with the /author/username page so that every user has only one uniform profile page. Would this be possible? Are there any shortcodes to display “forum topics created” etc. so I can try modify the /author/username page?

[Smatthee]

I think I may have figured it out.

If I add a topic through the WP dashboard it creates this wierd “comments are closed” thing, but if I add them directly through the blog it seems to work…

Strange.

[Smatthee]

Thanks for the post, it has been a great help!

I am still struggling to get the topics to work. When I click on the topic it has my description an then it says “Comments are closed.” and there is no way to post anything…

Have a look here: http://urbanbeeguild.org.au/?page_id=227

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Thanks,

Created a CubePoints module for bbPress this morning

I hate to nag, but I would really like to know if this will work with punBB anytime in the near future?

If not, I will just move to a different system – my current setup is just spam infested – no punBB plugin can stop it. I really need to jump ship soon

Hi all,

I am adding ratings to forum topics for a single forum, using this plugin

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-postratings/

I have added the required code to loop-topic.php and loop-single-topic.php to get ratings showing up in the topic list.

I am now trying to restrict these ratings to a single forum but I have not been able to find a way to get the current forum id to check if it is the right forum to display the ratings

Hello

I’m creating a WP site vith a “3 colums” style. (http://skylanders.ancykien.fr/)

But I want a “one column” model for my forum ^^

So I’ve created a page which only contains this short-code :[bbp-forum-index].

This page is a “one column” model.

=> works fine

But when I clik on a forum link from this page, it opens the forum and the list of topics on a “3 columns “model

Does someone know how to keep the model of the parent page (a “one column” here) when clicking on a forum link ? or another way ?

Thanks in advance (and sorry for my english, I’m french^^)

[Trobee]

I have a similar situation, although I will have forums on other subsites eventually, so I have it enabled over the whole site, but I only created forums on one subsite.

The only thing I think I had to do was set up rewrites in .htaccess from all other subsites and the main site to view user profile pages.

For the main page:

RewriteRule ^users/(.*)$ /forums/users/$1 [L,R=301]

For subsites:

RewriteRule ^[subsite]/users/(.*)$ /forums/users/$1 [L,R=301]

Also, I am using the “Move Privacy Options” plugin to make the subsite private, and I noticed that the bbpess rss feeds are not private. I am currently woking on fixing this and so far this is what I have got, which is by no means perfect.

You will need to find the functions bbp_display_topics_feed_rss2 and bbp_display_replies_feed_rss2 in bbp-topic-functions.php and bbp-reply-functions.php respectively, and add this code to the beginning of each fuction

if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {

header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Website"');

header('HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required');

exit;

}

$user = wp_authenticate($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']);



if ( !$user || is_wp_error($user) ) {

header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Website"');

header('HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required');

}

Which should limit who can read the rss feeds to people who have a login to your wordpress site.

Hello mr. globetrotterdk, for your first question unfortunately there is no available documentation for bbpress 2.0 up to now.. pray that developer will update this soon. Thanks for them who makes their effort to update.

for your second question, have you try using bbpress shortcodes?

[benfrain]

Sure, I have a custom theme and this sits in the functions.php and loads in a block of HTML for single posts that aren’t in certain categories. However, since installing bbPress, this block of HTML is also showing on the forums (it shouldn’t) so I need to exclude it. Someone offered some help on another forum so I now have:

if ( 'forum' != get_post_type() && !in_category(array('54', '55', '56', '57', '58')) && !is_category(array('54', '55', '56', '57', '58')) ) { ?>

Which means my forums now show but this chunk of HTML is now showing on pages too (it shouldn’t show there either) so I need to now exclude pages as well! Any idea how I might do that?

[OPI Axxium Gel]

I need that code. PLease send me! Thank you.

[CaptainN2]

I should also mention – backup your database before doing any of this!

[maxfaction]

I was able to get it working after 4 hours of manipulating css code… which isn’t uncommon when bending code to suit your theme design. I’m still working on a few bugs, nothing serious but its tedious nonetheless… so I’ll contribute my discoveries when I’m done. It’s not for the faint-hearted to be sure, but its do-able. At least you won’t have to invest as much time as I did to “get it”. More to come…

I have over 200,000+ users on one of my sites, most of them due to spammy spammers spamming up the place, is this an all in one thing that will try to load all 200,000+ or does it do them a chunk at a time?

thanks for the code, this something that should be baked in, along with email verification of accounts before they can post.

Hi,

I’m trying to exclude all forum post types within my main WordPress theme’s functions.php file using this sort of syntax:

$post_type != 'forum'

However it doesn’t seem to work. Here is the full if statement I’m using:

function single_post_nav() {

if ( is_single() && !in_category(array('54', '55', '56', '57', '58')) && !is_category(array('54', '55', '56', '57', '58')) && $post_type != 'forum' ) { ?>



Some stuff

However, it is still displaying the content on forum pages. Does anyone know the correct way to exclude the forum posts within functions.php?

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers – Ben

[tosteri]

Anyone?

Could this be achieved with shortcodes somehow?
