This works a whole lot better than the built in converter.

The built in one could only handle 15 topics and, this plugin one is doing them all

[master5o1]

Not sure why the [bbp-*] shortcodes aren’t working on this page.

[tgiokdi]

with the small details that still need to be worked out, I think we’d better wait till a 2.1 release to actually mention it. a fair amount of people are still a little confused as to where the forums are installed to, how to administrate them, and most importantly, how to integrate their themes into the new bbpress. I’d say after those three major things are mentioned in the install instructions and made a bit clearer / automated, then it’s time to invite the masses

@TravisHill — Your code worked without fail. Thank you my friend, you saved a lot of headache.

[goldmember]

If you look at a topic thread on my site (http://willowbilliards.com/forum/topic/test-topic-3/) you’ll notice that there’s no avatars showing.

I figured out that the place where the code should exist is in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php so I stuck a message that says “avatar should go here”. Here’s the code from that page: http://pastebin.com/dMLeD6LV

But what do I need to put there so the avatar actually shows? Please advise. Thanks in advance!

It’s pretty much all stated in the title.

There doesn’t appear to be anything preventing guests from seeing hidden or private topics when the [bbp-topic-index] short code is used.

There is a forum on the site that only people that can view private forums are supposed to know about. You can’t view the topic’s contents, but the existence of the forum is nevertheless betrayed in the index.

I was able to fix the problem by adding a check in the loop-single-topic.php template file.

[travis.hill]

Pass some $args through bbp_list_forums.

If your using custom templates, locate the loop-single-forum.php file. Somewhere around line 25 you should find the bbp_list_forums function. Pass it some $args like so:

<?php bbp_list_forums(array('separator' => '','show_topic_count' => false, 'show_reply_count' => false)); ?>

That should get you going in the right direction.

“After I installed it the first time it took me a couple of hours to find my forums page.” – good that you persevered and got it working Patrick.

Suspect that for every user that manages finally to find the solution, have half a dozen that just think – Sod it, doesn’t work, waste of time, delete.

Maybe it’s some kind of elitist coder thing? If you can’t fill in the missing technical details you can’t join the club?

I’ve gone over to SMF, Simple Machines Forum purely because they do indeed have clear documentation and installation instructions. I have confidence in the team behind the script because they are thinking of the end user and not just the code. I suggest that if you want this excellent addition to wordpres to be the roaring success it deserves to be, you do the same.

Good luck with the project.

Forum Name | Topics | Posts | Last Post

and in the # of topics and # of posts column, it adds the word “threads” and “posts” after the number.

Main Footer

<script type=”text/javascript”>

<!–

/* remove Forum Name | Topics | Posts…

and add thread & post info by california */

var td=document.getElementsByTagName(“td”);

if(location.href.match(//?((index.cgi)???(action=(ma.+ad|logout|home))?(#.+)?)?$/)){

for(i=0;i<td.length;i++){

if(td.width==”1%” && td.innerHTML.match(/d/)){

if(td[i+1].width.match(/^(1|7)%$/)){

td.innerHTML+=”
threads”;

td.width=”8%”;

}else{

td.innerHTML+=”
posts”;

td.width=”7%”;

}

}

if(td.width==”8%” && !td.innerHTML.match(/thread/)){

td.width=”4%”;

}

if(td.className==”titlebg” && td.innerHTML.match(/Forum Name/i)){

td.parentNode.style.display=”none”;

}

}

}

//–>

</script>

It will say “1 threads” if you only have one topic or post. The solution: post another thread.

If you are using a “Divide/Seperate Categories” code then this code should be placed below that code.

If for some reason you don’t want the words “threads” and “posts”, leave out the blue part. I wouldn’t really recommend this as the numbers in those two columns become completely meaningless and the column widths get all screwed up, but people still keep asking for it for some reason.

[jam09]

where do i put the modified code?

[master5o1]

Assuming bbPress 2.0:

You can modify this file (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/bbpress/tags/2.0/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/form-anonymous.php)

Modify the <input> tags such that they’re type="hidden". Also make the value="Anonymous" for name and something like value="anonymous@example.com" for email.

There is _probably_ a better way but this is the first that comes to mind for me.

Hi Vaju,

I have now searched the internet (yes all of it I think) and it seems there is a lot of confusion about bbpress and how to change languages.

Has anyone got this to work in version 2.0 (Plugin) ?

Here is what I have tried so far :

1: mo and po files uploaded to /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages

2: Looked in and edited a lot of php files.

3. Checked nearly every file in my themes folder (Suffusion).

4. Have been in discussion with Suffusion theme forum.

None of the above has helped in any way

My wordpress is showing the correct language, which is great. A major problem is the Forum is not. I currently have the site offline for now. But it should be up again before the start of next week (well thats what I have told the users)

[kai920]

Thanks anointed, I might follow your approach as I want to keep the forums somewhat separated from the rest of the site. Am sure I will learn many things along the way also, as an added bonus

[patrickallmond]

I have installed bbpress 2.0 at allaboutfocus.com on the Genesis Framework. Before I knew that shortcodes existed I create a single free forum with some test posts. You can see that here: http://allaboutfocus.com/forums/forum/free-forums/#

Now I’ve discovered shortcodes. I created a new empty page called /mojo-forums. I edit that page and add a couple of simple shortcodes. When I save the new page I am instantly directed back to edit session for page http://allaboutfocus.com/forums/forum/free-forums/ . This is bizarre. That is not the page I was editing. Keep in mind this is all happening in the admin area. When I click on view to view the page /mojo-forums it shows me page /forums which has no edit options.

Also – when I post a new test post it is showing the freshest post as 4 hours ago. But when you drill down to the post it has the correct time that I saved the post.

Help.

Thanks,

Patrick

[bobodisco]

How do I allow people to sign up to my forum, Currently I have a page set up with the sign up short code and when one attempts to sign up the WP login page is displayed with a message stating “User registration is currently not allowed.” Is this a setting that needs changing in the admin section of my site?

Thanks

[Vayu Robins]

Hi Moddey.

I am not sure if what I did is correct. I can’t seem to do this in all my themes. And I can’t seem to find out why.

I am also interested in finding a solution that actually works.

[ModdeyDo]

I would like to know how this is done, BBpress 2.0. I have uploaded the .mo and .po files all over the place Only thing I have not done is what Vayu said:

add_action(‘after_setup_theme’, ‘my_theme_setup’);

function my_theme_setup(){

load_theme_textdomain(‘bbpress’, get_template_directory() . ‘/languages’);

}

Do I have to do that ?

TIA

Moddey

[unholyfruitbat]

Is there any word on when bbpress will support more extensive forum like features? Ex: Image posting, youtube video posting, bbcode?

I’m sorry if this question was already covered and I missed it. Congrats on the release and the success with the plugin thus far.

@kai920

I ended up going an entirely different route in order to get forum specific sidebars on the pages. JJ’s answer would have been the easiest to achieve by using widget context, but I wanted full control.

Very long story short…

I started by registering a custom sidebar just for the forums.

I then took all of the bbpress templates and rewrite them from scratch to include my custom code and forum sidebar.

*Keep in mind that bbPress templates are nothing more than WordPress templates, so all rules that you follow when building a custom theme also apply to bbPress. Trying to explain how to build custom templates is WAY outside the scope of what I can provide. There are numerous tutorials all over the internet to get you started.

**If you are not comfortable writing template code, then widget context is definitely the way to go.

[binarymoon]

Thanks for the tip off – I found the rogue code!

[bobbyh44]

Ah – awesome. Thanks Andre, really appreciate it.

Hopefully they’ll add that link into the bottom of the instructions so it reads:

== Installation ==

1. Place the ‘bbpress’ folder in your ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory.

2. Activate bbPress.

3. Visit ‘Settings > Forums’ and adjust your configuration.

4. Create some forums.

5. View your site.

6. Adjust the CSS of your theme as needed, to make everything pretty.

7. Create a page and add one or more of these short codes into it to display your forum: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

All the best.

Bob

[Andre]

You’d probably want to use one of these:

[bbp-forum-index] – Show the forum index/archive

[bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] – Show a single forums topics

Here is the thread listing the shortcodes – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

[unfettered]

So I’m brand new to WordPress and old hat to programming. I’m trying to piece together a word press site for a friend that he can easily manager and expand. I’ve got most everything up and running with buddy press now save for the forums (without actually having to touch code, craziness!) . My issue is with the forums (I’ve installed the site wide variant).

The issue I’m running into is that the individual forums seem to be rendering as a page and not getting the specific forum templates added to them. I’m using the custom community theme, but this problem is repeatable if i switch to the base buddy press theme. This problem is not present if i switch to the bbpress theme. Each forum listing shows up only showing the forums tagline as if it was page data. I had to do a bit of hackery to get the forum to render at all (deleted the forum page and made a link to /forums in the menu).

My forums are at:

http://unfettereddesigns.net/forums/

Any sage advice?

My forums options:

Archive Slugs

Forums base : forums

Single Slugs

Forum slug: forum

[pjeurien]

this works:

add_action( ‘bbp_get_reply_content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

but it does allow every shortcode.
