Lets hope bbPress will get a useful and easy to use Codex very soon because i can’t do anything with the templates tags like this.

I’m try to make a author reply avatar bigger.

This is the code that i imported to my file but it only displays the avatar at 40x40px.

<?php bbp_reply_author_avatar( array( 'size' => '80' )); ?>

The awesome bbPress Plugin 2.0 is finally released!

So for all German users I have the language files ready for download – in formal (SIE) and informal (DU) version. Both were tested/used in production environments so should work like a charm.

Just DOWNLOAD here:

Have fun, Dave from Germany

With the very exciting new “forum shortcode as comments” feature currently being tested on testbp.org, quite a few questions come to mind. Seeing as the test site isn’t really meant for real conversations, I’ll ask my questions here.

(1) For starters, I’m assuming this will also work without BuddyPress in the mix?

(2) What if I’m running a multisite, separating content into two or more blogs?

example.com – main blog and forum.

devblog.example.com – secondary blog, no forum.

So in the instance that I make a post on devblog.example.com that I’d like to attach a forum thread to, would that be possible?

(3) Has this been tested with different post formats?

(4) Also, the idea of multiple posts pointing to the same forum topic is very cool, but what about the other way around?

Say I write a post about an already addressed topic (there is an existing thread about it) but I would like to open a new thread of discussion for some fresh opinions. Being able to point to multiple threads would be very handy. Maybe there’d have to be one main topic, but others could be added as links, pretty much like a pingback.

(5) Showing the first post in the forum thread in the blog post, especially in your example, seems counter-intuitive to me. Have you considered (tried) working around that?

[Erlend]

This is now possible:

http://testbp.org/2011/08/forum-shortcode-as-comments/

Though it’s still unclear to me whether or not this relies on BuddyPress 1.5, the environment in which this functionality is showcased. It would be a very odd dependency though, so I’m hoping this would also be possible with WP + BBP alone.

#1

for main forum, edit single-forum.php file to remove

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_notices' ); ?>

do the same thing for single-topic.php

***I am assuming you are using your own theme and are not editing the original bbpress files, but rather the files you add to your own theme.

#2

sorry, I have not yet dug through the core enough to answer this one. I’m guessing you can pass an argument to the topic output, but can’t say for sure.

#3

You will need to modify a ton of templates to do this one.

basically you are looking for:

<?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?>

and replacing it with:

<?php bbp_breadcrumb( array('include_home' => false, 'include_root' => false) ); ?>

That basically says: do not print the ‘home’ link, and do not print the ‘forums’ link before the single forum link.

include_home = ‘home’

include_root = ‘forums’

Hope that helps.

HI,

Is there a shortcode for a searchform?

Xander

[johnnyboi]

phew, i meant functions.php

[amirsaam]

Thanks for the answers…

John I saw that all of formats (like number format and date format) is in a file name class.bb-locale.php in bb-includes directory…

If our plugin convert the functions in this file (bb_gmdate_i18n & bb_number_format_i18n) to Persian formats, will all the formats in anywhere being reformated?

I’m now using bbpress 2.0 and buddypress 1.2.10 and the shortcodes and widgets have been very useful to the not so techy users like me.

The situation is that I want to show only one forum’s latest topics, is there any plan for releasing shortcodes with more detailed options or a way to make it possible manually?

Thank you in advance!

I am new to buddypress I’m not a coder. The install was simple. But when it comes to the forums i can’t set it up! Instead i get told i have to make a group. I want a forum (with categories) but at the same time i want group forums to work separately. So when i set up a group i go to the forums page and it tells me group forum directory.

I want a forum on that page not a group forum directory. Is it possible if someone can tell me how i can correct this? Again, I’m not a coder so a simple copy and paste would help. I can always learn something new though. but this is killing me, i have looked everywhere forums, youtube videos etc.

Step by step instructions for “Non IT techy” would be helpful. Hopefully in a newer version of buddypress you can make group forums separate from forums. So again anything would help.

Also is it possible to have a separate page for group forum directory instead of using the forums page and is it possible to make it so only admins can see that page? I think this would be helpful if you’re running a site and want to admin group forums but not have them show publicly. or an option to let users just display forums in the directory they allow publicly?Just a suggestion.

Thanks hope to hear from someone.Just incase my post is viewed in buddypress yes i posted there aswell.

[faverio]

alrighty, with your help, anointed, I’m getting the hang of this now. I’ve created new pages with bbpress shortcodes, and linked them accordingly. Now I am testing the registration process and I have one question.

Instead of having new users login via the WordPress Dashboard, can I make it so they stay at the frontend? Does that make sense? I do not want them logging into any kind of WordPress backend.

Thanks again buddy.

[John James Jacoby]

Not yet, but anything is possible.

Hi guys,

Just wondering when I eventually install BB Press on my production site, i will be turning OFF groups and using only the BB Press Forums.

What will happen to the existing activity entries that link to the current groups etc?

Will the entries become dead links, or does BB Press somehow upgrade these links?

Any info on the future ‘upgrader’ would be appreciated.

I took a quick glance at your site and noticed a few things. Mainly the style sheet from the theme you are using has a lot of conflicts with bbpress. It is going to take a lot of modification to make it look right within that particular theme.

*It is not the fault of the theme or bbpress that everything does not look right out of the box. It just happens that there are a few conflicts and as I don’t know your theme code I can’t tell how big a job it would be to fix.

[tyskkvinna]

It’s not what’s in the 1.5RC1 though is it? Because that looked like BBPress 1.0

[John James Jacoby]

It’s only a problem if you want it that way.

bbPress is going to keep its core taxonomy separate from WordPress posts. If you want to merge them together, it’s completely possible to do on your own.

[kittymcooper]

Thanks, I will wait for the plugin then. I have shut down the forums for now. I will experiment some more with them on my test system. Really like how bbpress looks and feels but I don’t really need a forum

[Thomas Clausen]

Ok thanks for the reply. It’s just a pain dealing with the frustrated users in my forums. But I guess you know all about that

[John James Jacoby]

It’s easy to combine post types and taxonomies, but it’s difficult to come up with a UI that makes sense for both. Search the WordPress codex on how to combine post types and taxonomies. There are a few good examples out there.

[John James Jacoby]

Those topics were created via the WordPress dashboard. The post status is hard coded into the meta box, and password protected content is only loosely supported in bbPress 2.0. Someone is currently making a plugin that blocks admin posting which will prevent this in the future.

[Jamie Marsland]

Hi,

I have the same problem as elmalak.

I would like to use a page to put my shortcode in – however if you do this then the links all revert back to the default forum slugs?

Jamie

[amirsaam]

umm… John I now see the about/domains page I am sorry to say I’ve submit < bbPress.iR > for our team Can we continue using it?

[Thomas Clausen]

Look at the bottom of the screen where it says export  

[msalexander]

John I’ve question about that the Date function must be in ThemeFunctions or no, that is in bbPress Core and I need to convert that to jDate function?

We coded a plugin that with found jDate in somewhere will convert it into Jalali date but I don’t know we must with require_once function include the core or no, the theme must have the jDate…

And can you say when will you work on the perevius versions? And when the stable 2.0 come (cause of that we need to prepare to support it too!)?

Thanks…
