Thank you for your answer,

But I can’t integrate the widget as I wish in my design.

Indeed, I can’t integrate the excerpt of the replies, I can’t properly control the CSS and I can’t (of course) include the latest comments in the last forums’ replies.

I started by looking at the widget code by default, but I can’t decrypt properly.

query_posts is very simple and I usually use it in my templates; is much more customizable.

the bbPress plugin comes with 2 widgets already. You can have both the most recent topics and most recent replies, plus a few others.

If you are trying to build a custom widget, then look at the bbPress widget code file to see how it is done. It will help a lot.

hello,

I try desperately to create some kind of widget for my blog with last forum entries .

I think query_posts was indicated because it is simple and effective.

here is the code I use to fully control the design of my widget.

<div id=”lastreply”>

<?php

query_posts(“post_type=reply”);

while (have_posts()) : the_post();

?>

<div class=”post”>

<div class=”thumb”><?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_id() , 60 ); ?></div>

<h4>” rel=”bookmark”><?php the_title(); ?></h4>

<small>De <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> <span class=”red”>♥</span> <span class=”tag”><?php the_tags(‘#’,’, #’); ?></span></small>

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

</div><!– fin de post –>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</div><!– last reply–>

I have 3 problems so that my poor php skills prevents me to solve.

1 / the title is not good, it starts with “reply to” it would have been clearer to the title of the topic directly.

2 / the link isn’t the link to topic but the link for the answer!

3 / but it’s going to be warmer, I wish to join the last replies to the last comment into a single widget, except that query_posts doesn’t work with the comments ^ ^

would you have a little time to devote to my request? Thank you in advance.

I’m getting the same errors that scribu described. I added his code to the config file, and I’m still getting that error.

bbpress 1.1 and latest bbpress plugin (as of today).

Standard integration, all plugins off and themes set to default.

Actually I totally got it

I think bbPress is getting easier to use in later iterations or something (I wouldn’t want to attribute it to my skillful coding).

It’s in a dev environment or I would shoot you guy the URL to check it out….

Glad I went this route from the onset versus other choices to persue.

Did you ask Chris about the problem?

As he is the author of Thesis, and a fantastic coder, I am sure that he has a simple solution.

I installed Buddypress. Everything works great.

I also installed the group forum in the buddypress settings panel. But than i realized it isn’t realy a public forum.

So i installed the wide one (bbpress 2.0) actived the plugin, i can make forums, topics, reply in the dashboard. but i cannot view them on the website.

I can go to a recent topic but i only see the Title of the topic and the message. I don’t see icons, no forum table, nothing. (see link below)

http://www.joeristallaert.be/comm/forums/forum/testing-new-forum/

Do i need to create pages? if so, what kind of content/code i need to insert.

I also don’t understand the settings : Archive Slugs and single slugs. what do in need to fill in, in those fields.

I tried changing permalinks, but i can’t otherwise my full buddypress won’t work.

btw It should work with my Theme. Because the official Demo of this theme bbpress is integrated.

Thank you.

I’ve read all of the posts I can find about the issue with the attachments plugin on GoDaddy hosting, but I still have not been able to resolve it.

I have the bb-attachments folder in my HTML root (because i can’t put it higher on GoDaddy).

I changed the permissions to 777.

I added the bb-attachments table in the database.

I changed the path to: $bb_attachments=”Hosting5654851htmlbb-attachments\”;

(I have also tried several other paths, none of which worked)

When I upload an attachment (even a blank .txt file), it posts my comment but no attachment. No error message displays.

HELP!

[brianhorn]

The main thing that is gone, is the formating of the content in the page. No line breaks:

http://realestateauthority.net/about-us/

..and the images have some code around them too:

http://realestateauthority.net/jamaica/jamaica-real-estate/

Any idea how to fix this?

anointed – What plugins are you running?

If it’s working on some and not on others, the odds are plugins are to blame

[Anointed]

That is all set in the root bbpress.php plugin file.

I have never even thought about changing those locations, and I don’t think it is currently possible without hacking the heck out of the plugin as I see the dirs hardcoded throughout.

Frankly, as they are internal links within the bbpress plugin, I can’t personally see any reason that I would ever want to change them, but whatever the reason that’s your business.

I’m no developer, but I seriously doubt it’ll happen. JJ would have to speak to that… way out of my league.

In loop-single-forum I use:

<?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'type' => name ) ); ?>

[Anointed]

I took a quick peek at your link. Honestly I do not see anything at all which would cause the spacing like that.. it is very strange.

One place you might try asking is over at css-tricks, as they have a great forum for css issues and Chris is a genious at that kind of stuff.

As to removing the info boxes:

Unless you have manually replicated all of the bbPress templates and added them manually to your theme, then you are actually using the bbPress twentyten theme templates. (they are found inside the bbPress plugin folder)

In there you will find files like content-single-forum.php, content-single-topic.php, etc..

In those templates are functions like:

<?php bbp_single_forum_description(); ?>, <?php bbp_single_topic_description(); ?>, etc...

Those are the functions used to output the information blocks. You would need to remove those lines from the files in order to get rid of the boxes.

**Now obviously if you modify those files, then you will loose your changes every time you update bbPress, not advised….

Instead check out the theme compatibility thread in the forums here to learn how to make child themes so you can make changes without loosing those changes.

Or.. you can always take the ‘easy’ way out and simply add some css rules to your stylesheet to hide them. Not at all elegant but effective.

.div.bbp-template-notice.info { display: none; }

[ChrisOGwynne]

<?php user_favorites_link(); ?>

I can’t find the direct text in order to change what this says? Any assistance.

Thanks

On the front page you havee

The username however isn’t linked. Is there any tag which will link the post starters name?

[Anointed]

Maybe this will explain it a little better:

<?php _e( 'Pages: ', 'wptumble' ); ?> <?php bbp_forum_pagination_links(); ?>

That basically adds ‘Pages:’ right before the page links. The ‘downside’ is that ‘Pages:’ is output to the browser even if there are no links available.

what I am trying to do is something like:

<?php bbp_forum_pagination_links('before_links' => 'Pages:'); ?>

[amirsaam]

In the Standalone I jus use this <?php bb_latest_topics_pages(); ?> for what you wanted Maybe you can use it by changing bb_ to bbp_ like something else that it worked!

I’ll think on it more but the basics are that I have a customized bbPress theme installed as a child theme in wp-content/themes/ . This is a copied and modified version of bbPress’ base theme (I included all the theme files since I’ve needed to get into a lot of them). I’ve renamed that bbPress child theme (and its directory) bbps.

All the topics are entered via the front-end forum vs the admin panel.*

Finally, I don’t know that the tag archive was ever working correctly on these sites and then stopped. I’ve only seen it print all the topics instead of the respective tag’s topics.

For now I’m still accepting tags on new topics but I’m not displaying them on the single topic listing or the single topic edit page. If there was a way to remove the A tags from the tag list outside of core code I would do that so that I could at least display the tags in the short-term but it’s not a primary need.

If I can answer more questions about my installs let me know.

*I had an issue with a couple topics that I had started in the WP forum admin that was resolved after I deleted those and re-entered them through the forum itself, so I’ve stuck with that approach for now. The issue, as an aside, was that the topics were reflected in the Forum Archive topics count for each forum but the forum’s page showed no topics and the topic’s pages were 404.

[Anointed]

Just bumping it up as I still can’t find a conditional to use for determining if I am on the forum front/homepage.

*I am not using shortcodes but rather custom templates

also need a few other conditionals please:

What conditional can I use to see if I am on a topic-tag, or topic-tag-edit page?

finally, conditional for being on the users/users-edit page?

*trying to change titles around above the breadcrumbs in my template. and also using conditionals to remove breadcrumbs when on user page as they dont work on user pages yet.

thanks

I need help performing a basic function. I have a WordPress blog with bbPress installed as a plugin. I would like all of my forums pages (ever) to show up on a custom two-column WordPress page template that I made (template-twocolumn.php) rather than the default three-column template for my site’s theme. I can put a forums shortcode on a WordPress page with a custom template, but the forums will still really just be using the three-column template, and it will show when I click any links to a new forums page. Can someone please help me make it so that the entirety of bbPress uses one particular non-default template page style?

I have WordPress 3.2.1 and bbPress 2.0. My website is at http://www.vgreboot.com/ . Thanks.

[trivum]

I have an issue that seems to be with the theme I am using. When I install bbPress, it doesn’t register a title when I look at my view source code. I also get an “Error 404” message in the breadcrumbs of my site’s theme (NOT in the bbPress breadcrumbs).

I don’t get this when I switch to a default WP theme, so it seems related to my theme (WPzoom’s Manifesto).

I have run a buddypress update plugin thinking this might help, but it doesn’t. I also get this message with BuddyPress compatibility: “Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.” (I’m fine with the bbPress default styling, by the way. Just wondering if the first part of that message might relate to my problem in any way.)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

[John James Jacoby]

Despite the inflammatory remarks from their team in the topic you linked me to, I tweeted the Pagelines guys about getting access to their forums or getting things figured out together.

Considering you are paying them for support, I think the ball is in their court. If there’s a problem with their theme and bbPress they need to put a guy on it and send me a theme to test, similar to how StudioPress and Genesis handled it for the 2.0 release.

If bbPress is doing something that’s causing headaches, I’m happy to fix it – the difference being that bbPress’s code is immediately accessible to them, and their themes are not to me.

I tried to install from plugin in wp admin and got api error. So i dwnlded full version and ftp’d it to my server. Then when I try to activate it I get the following error: Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 26214400) (tried to allocate 291800 bytes) in /home/lynchpin/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php on line 449

I upped my php.ini to 64m , tried adding code to wp-config and htaccess. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions? I’d even be willing to let someone log into it and take a look. Help Please!
