You can use shortcodes and just add some custom css styling.
Dario,
1. Create a page.
2. Make it a homepage.
3. Add the right shortcodes.
4. Add proper styling.
Hmm so there’s no way to code this in until it’s released? I would LOVE to be able to have favorites/subscriptions in the BP profile. I need the functionality of both!
Additionally, it would be great to also have a list of ‘Mine’ discussions on the profile too.
I found a solution somewhere to disable functions when you are calling post-form to septate files: LIKE
<?php post_form( array( 'last_page_only' => false ) ); ?>
I hope, with that kind of code we can disable attachments on replies.
— Anyone?
Bump! Bump!
Hello, Zaerl, Ben L.
Are you listening to me?
I think _ck_ has gone again
Odds are pretty good that it has something to do with the css files. I’d ask the theme author what he is doing to cause this issue.
I read through the code that I can see but have no idea what is wrong. I do see the style.css being called twice in your header, but that would not cause this problem.
Honestly, this one is so weird, that I’d love to hear what the fix ends up being so if you do find out, please do share….
Yep, but something else you can use if you want that play like Twitter to reply game (Got my mean? Like @OAEErra) on topics you can use this: Easy Mentions
Note: The code I gave you is for StandAlone vr. not the bbPlugin
That’s perfect 7i7GRiFFiN i’ll play with this later, thanks!
I assume that takes them to the post form area on the forum page itself?
I could do that with a ‘Reply’ button on each post too.
Much thanks
As bbPress follows all WordPress code standards, I am going to assume it is something to do with thesis.
Chris is a great coder so I am certain that he would have no problem coming up with a fix for thesis.
Actually it was quite easy to do:
Modify archive forum:
<div id="forum-front" class="bbp-forum-front">
<div class="entry-content">
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-forum' ); ?>
<br><br>
<h3>Recent Topics:</h3>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-topic' ); ?>
</div>
</div><!-- #forum-front -->
Notice I am simply calling the content-archive-topic template.
**Obviously there is more to it than simply modding a core file which is not good. I am going to assume that you are using a custom theme/child-theme and modifying the templates from there.
@Gautam
Yes I read through your code prior to posting this and used it as an example of how to add options to the page.
It was because of reading your code that I was asking about using tabs. My reason for this is that it would give the users a clear distinction between ‘core’ and ‘custom’ options while still maintaining all options in the same page.
Just thought it would be unique, cool, and provide yet another level of organization to bbPress.
The latest versions now have admin settings in the dashboard that allow the admin to create additional whitelists of supported tags. It also detects Viper’s Video Quicktags and allows all those tags to be added to the whitelist via a single checkbox.
I’ve implemented a means by which other shortcode plugin developers can make their plugins get automatically detected by the whitelist, declaring which safe shortcodes they support, and giving them the same single checkbox ‘add to whitelist’ functionality that I’ve currently done with my bbPress BBCode plugin and Viper’s Video Quicktags.
You would actually need to modify theme files, particularly the forum loop and CSS files to do that. It involves a bit of time and no one has tried to do it yet. I’ll see to it when I get time.
Thesis is a paid theme and we can’t say anything about it unless we have access to its source.
Hi I have a question. How can I edit style.css without affecting my theme. So use the firebug to make changes but when I inspect objects the style is wp-content/themes/mytheme/style.css and i dont wanna edit my style of theme, only style of bbpress.
I try this:
Copy Files
If this is not a custom theme under your control (meaning you are not the author) you’ll want to copy the entire “/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten” folder into your “wp-content/themes/%YOURTHEMENAME%” folder, and modify your style.css to make it a custom Child Theme of whatever your current theme is. This is so theme updates don’t wipe
Add Theme Support
Now that you’ve got the files copied over, you’ll need to tell bbPress that you are in control of the theme situation. You do this by adding this to your functions.php file:
add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );out all your hard work later.
But dont work good because some subforums disappear and change the order. I like to stay like this with bbp-TwentyTen and modify aspects of my theme style.css without affecting primary.
Has anyone been able to get bbPress 2.0 and the Thesis theme to work together?
I have tried a number of things but I just can’t get it to work.
If I do nothing and rely on the default theme the forum is totally unusable. Not only is there no styling but none of the functionality works (no links appear for a start!).
I have tried creating a child theme as per instructions on this forum, tried using shortcodes and I have also tried copying the relevant parts of the default theme over to the thesis theme folder.
This seems to get slightly better results in the sense that I get the forum functionality, but there is no styling. You can see my current attempt here:
http://www.jezza101.co.uk/forums
It seems to me like part of the theme’s framework is somehow breaking bbPress, there must be some fundamental incompatibility in there somewhere – but I really don’t know enough to debug this.
I have asked over at the Thesis support forum but there seems to be little understanding of what’s going on over there. Is there anyone over here who has any suggestions?
jus’ add a link to where you need and make the url to the div of the new topic/reply form. I used this one for myself to new topic in the forum page:
<?php if(bb_get_forum_is_category() != bb_is_user_logged_in()) { echo "— <a href='#post-form' class='jAdd'>Add new »</a>"; } ?>
The a class is for a jQuery thing I used, you don’t need that.
Hi,
I’m currently implementing bbPress compatibility support for my theme (Graphene). I chose to go the route of using the default theme that comes with bbPress 2.0, and just add additional styles to make bbPress compatible with my theme.
Since I’m not using the add_theme_support( 'bbpress' ) switch in my theme, bbPress displays a persistent nag in the Appearance section of WP Admin:
Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.
How can I disable this nag? It doesn’t matter that the forums are using the default styling included with bbPress, since the additional custom stylesheet I implemented in the theme takes care of integrating the styling into my theme’s styles.
Thanks!
I’d rather do it with a template tag but I did realize that I can use the shortcode and do_shortcode to pull topics by forum on the forums index:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id]') ?>
For those who are interested but not completely clear, a forum’s id can be found easily by viewing the source code in your browser and looking for the id or class of a forum listing’s containing element (for example: id=”bbp-forum-2536″ or class=”post-2536″).
I know this sounds basic guys, but adding a topic to favourites doesn’t seem to do much on my install.
It adds it okay, but when you then click on the resulting link which changes to ‘favourites’ it just takes me to my BP profile.
The favourite doesn’t appear under the ‘favourites’ tab in my profile or under the ‘forums’ tab in my profile.
What is supposed to happen and what is the forums tab on my profile supposed to show?
This is happening over on testbp.org too?
Surely these tabs should be populated by my topics started and favourite topics?
Cheers guys!
Ross
Well I can confirm that the latest and compatible versions of both these plugins are now definitely available on wordpress.org
I’ve set up a test forum with pretty much just these two plugins active and you can see the results here:
http://bbpressbbcode.chantech.org/forums/topic/testing-shortcode-whitelist/
janoochen great website nice work and thanks for the rating code could you an other favor for us could you tell what plugin are you using especially for topic reply toolbar and image upload thingy in profile editing if you are not using any plugin could you please shear the code for what ever you did there
Hello, I would like to convert existing punbb forum into bbpress, I already have a script https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/punbb-gt-bbpress but I really don’t know how to import the data when bbpress is now using wp_posts table instead of wp_forum_forums etc. tables
.
Is there any way how to configure bbpress to use its standard tables so that the import would be possible? If not, then I would have to do everything manually through excel but I would still appreciate if you could help me with the wp_posts structure for forums, posts, etc. How do I specify what is a forum, what a category, what a topic, etc.?
I have to add that I am absolutely inexperienced in forum conversion, php scripts and have some limited knowledge of the database (was already able to convert data from nucleus to WP). I however really need to accomplish this conversion asap and I am willing to play with the tables, lol.
Would very much appreciate your help! Thank you!
Well, not really. See there’s smart people here and I was merely using the Welcome Pack as an example. I want to know how to insert the users name into the URL path, that’s actually the question. And since there’s just a few folks here who use WordPress, BuddyPress, and yes bbPress, I really think I’m in the right place to ask smart people questions.
Oops!
Embarrassing user error with svn. Checked the project in without adding the files! Then assumed wordpress was being slow updating the plugin page like it was when I checked in the first version of bbpress2-bbcode.
I have checked it in successfully now. It still isn’t showing up, but I suspect it will now shortly…
