I think now that BBPress is final and out in the wild, I expect to see a number of plugins starting to hit the market quite soon. The code is a dream to work with and so easy to extend. JJ really rocked this release.

[Brad Williams]

Got the download, thanks man!

I’ll be sure to not blow anything up in the process. We’ll work on MyBB so we can hopefully get it included in future version.

I’ll keep you posted

[Jaja..]

Just curious is it this PHP code that handles the Sticky and Closing class?

<?php bbp_topic_class(); ?>

I was building a new forum layout and my new layout is based on lists

< ul >

< li > instead of tables thats why i prob. deleted that php code.

My stupid mistake here.

Hi,

On the site I look after I’m having an issue of forum posts coming out blank. If I look at the database rows for the blank posts, they all have <br /> as the post_text.

I have not managed to replicate the issue myself, nor see any pattern as to why it’s happening.

I’m using:

WordPress MU 2.9.2

BuddyPress 1.2.3

BBpress 1.0.2

Any idea what could be causing it?

Thanks!

[Jaja..]

Oo gosh..

I think i have a different bbPress plugin. Are you sure there is no fake ‘Made’ in China bbPress plugin on the market?

Maybe it’s time for me to test my bbPress plugin on a single WP install because i think all my functions not working has something to do with me being on a Multisite install.

[Jaja..]

I think if you name that Forum page:

page-front-forums your forums will be visible.

If not you can add [shortcodes] to that page to load some parts.

Look at the Sticky section above where it says Shortcodes.

[Jaja..]

I know bbPress is all about basic, clean and minimalism code but not adding an unique class or ID to a sticky topic or a closed topic is a huge missing part i think.

(the function works just no way to style it)

Will the bbPress (2.+) version be the same as the bbPress (1.0) version?

Without 25 different must have plugins is just not worth installing it?

Don’t get me wrong, i love the option to add plugins that can make bbPress do more advanced functions, but a feature like sticky and closed topics should be styled in the core files not by a plugin.

Not talking about lock icons , stars icons and different forum icons just a light gray or green background would be nice to have out of the box.

Now using bbpress 2.0.

One last shot to see if someone could help me out with this, as I still am stuck.

Thanks.

[David Dean]

Let me help get this going by adding what I know from building the bbPress Topics for Posts plugin:

1) Yes, it works perfectly even without BuddyPress.

2) Having a post on one site and the forum on another will probably NOT work. Forums and topics are considered posts themselves, and those are per-blog. Anything is possible, but that would be messy.

…

5) This isn’t too hard, but takes a little trickery with the bbp_has_replies_query filter. It’s a feature of the plugin if you want to take a look to see how it’s done.

[WebEndev]

If you don’t know of a way… it doesn’t exist then

Thanks!

[Jared Atchison]

Currently with bbPress there is no way easy do that, unfortunately – at least not that I’m aware of!

[WebEndev]

Hi Jared,

That will definitely help

I was actually referring to a Forum *only* search, and not sight wide using the site search. Most forums have this feature.

Thanks

As mentioned, you are going to have to do some poking around in order for the results to be returned in an orderly fashion

[Jaja..]

I have no idea how to change that.. (PHP isn’t my game)

I’ve got the same problem. Thats why I think that the bbPress (team) is still working on it.

I found this inside: (theme) > bbpress > user-details.php

<?php if ( bbp_is_user_home() || current_user_can( 'edit_users' ) ) : ?>

After that comes the Edit link but that PHP IF statement isn’t working correct.

bbPress is still very Glitchy if you ask me.

Lots of Glitch i don’t understand.

@BJ

I CAN SAY WOW! What a fantastic skills that coder had! It looks like used BuddyPress too, nah?

I just worked with Stand-Alone versions but that is so fantastic! I hope @JohnJamesJacoby write a better doc than now for us

[Jaja..]

On my homepage i show the forums and behind that the last topics and last replies.

This shows the Avatar of the last person active on a topic (replies):

<?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'size' => 32, 'type' => 'avatar' ) ); ?>

Very cool, and works.

But now i would also like to call for the authors (topic starter) avatar of the last topic on a forum.

So i tried this but nope

<?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_topic_author_id(), 'size' => 32, 'type' => 'avatar' ) ); ?>

It gives me random avatars from everybody.

[Ed]

thanks

[Razva]

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated!

Is there any way to “force” BBpress keep it styling? We really can’t change the theme…

[Ravi]

I am using bbPress 2.0 plugin version and could not find a file called loop-single-reply.php

I could find a single-reply.php and it had a code like

<td class=”bbp-reply-author”><?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( ‘type’ => ‘avatar’ )

I tried adding ‘size’ => 100 to this but did not work.

We are also using BuddyPress inside the site and guess the avatars are loaded from BuddyPress.

[amirsaam]

For PM you can use WordPress Private Messege. Need some act to using it

[Jaja..]

No Private messages at this point,

In Overall there is not much bbPress (v.2.0) plugins available, and we can only hope WordPress will release a statement on wordpress.org about the release of bbPress 2.0. If they don’t i doubt we will see tons of plugins for bbPress in the first year or two.

Beside all that, this Toolbar plugin works perfect on my forum,

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-toolbar/

And if you Valid the code and delete lots of ‘ugly’ included code it’s even a better product.

But again, out of the box it works great. (many thanks to the author)

My tuned version of this plugin:

* Still working on my Forum and i don’t know if i’ll ever gonna place it public (live) because for me bbPress is still very Glitchy.

[Patrik Berggren]

Ok … new to bbPress and have installed v2.

But … before I can go live with that forum I really need an WYSIWYG-editor, including “smilies”, PM (Private Messages) functionality … otherwize, my forum members will go ballistic

Is there a list of working plugins for bbPress v2? other than “repository” at wordpress.org?

[adams21]

Lets hope somebody will soon jump into this bbPress plugin code and start writing tutorials and info about different ways to list forums.

For myself i can say this is the best bbPress forum layout (listing) i’ve ever seen

[adams21]

simple used the insert code (which I was looking for but didn’t see and assumed not available) within my main template instead of using teh bbPress subtempate

[adams21]

If you changed the BBPress Forums base name to “theboards”, then make a new wordpress page with the same permalink “theboards”. So your forum will be located at mywebsite.com/theboards, regardless of if you create new forums or topics, theres nothing there. Create a page, pop in that shortcode or any of the ones at the link below and ZAP BOOM POW, go to mywebsite.com/theboards and its there! lol
