Hi guys!

I really can’t wait to start working with BP 1.5 and BB Press 2.0!

I’m just going through a homepage redesign in preparation for upgrading.

I was wondering, if I wanted to give users a sneak peak at what was going on in the site forums, could I somehow add say the latest 5 topics to the homepage in the same kind of layout that you would see in the forum directory?

Is there a shortcode for adding anything like that to a page?

Would be awesome if possible!

Thanks!

[amirsaam]

Thanks! 1.1 have no error!

[AMGill29]

Added the forum shortcode to a page which works fine but when I click on the forum link all I get is my header and breadcrumbs. Did I set it up wrong or is there something wrong with my theme?

[amirsaam]

How can I download it?

It jus’ give me the directory Please!

We are going to be bbPress Persian language support website. Without localhost it will be impossible!

Hmm lets see:

– we can rule out theme (for all but this paragraph and code issue, code being what tags can be used in the forum). I never though to check plugin in relation to the moderation buttons. I fear it may be the buddypress moderation plugin. tests will be done >_> (which they should have been)

-The install is on a multi site activated on one site instead of a network activate.

Where are the html tags located in the .php files that i can add or remove tags to? these tags don’t work on local host or live….unfortently. except for em….

also paragraph formatting doesn’t work on localhost or live.

Localhost has two plugins but only one is activated, bbpress. the other is buddypress 1.5 rc1 and its deactivated.

any other ideas or suggestions?

In my CSS (toolbar.css) all things are constrained to #post-toolbar.

It doesn’t do any resizing yet, and may never do. But the toolbar’s FAQ does suggest how to set a max-width using style.

I am going to make the CSS more customisable, just a tad.

I suggest using the WordPress plugin version of bbPress, version 2.x. bbPress 2.0 uses the same WP theme your site is using. It can also import data from a 1.x installation.

bbPress 2.0 is a plugin with 40,000 lines of code, adding huge amounts of capability equal to WordPress posts and pages themselves. Sadly, it won’t work out-of-the-box with 100% of all themes, and it sounds like you’re one of those cases. It’s one of the first plugins to mix custom post types with theme compatibility, so you’re literally one of the first few people to use it.

Then don’t.

Use the theme compatibility that it comes with.

If you’re not happy with the vanilla configuration, you’re on your own to customize it. If you’re able to make a WordPress theme, you’re able to make it bbPress enabled. You just need to learn how like you did with WordPress.

Mny thanks for your help sir

Hi everyone, I’ve got a new WordPress theme support forum ready but I’m stuck in something. Registered users of the forum (Subscriber role) aren’t allowed to post certain tags in topics for security reasons.

My question is, is there any way all code is allowed in raw format if it’s inside a CODE html tag? I believe the previous standalone version of bbpress supported this.

Best regards

I’m greek and I have a WordPress blog in greek running bbpress RC4.

The problem with using greek in your blog is the use of non-latin characters in the titles of the posts. This leads to the creation of slugs with non-latin characters and consequently pretty-permalinks with non-latin characters. That -of course- is a problem because URLs look nice in the address bar of your browser i.e.

http://deltahacker.gr/2011/08/19/πάρα-πολύ-καλά-νέα-αυτό/

but when you copy the URL to paste it somewhere else -in an email for example-, the same URL becomes:

http://deltahacker.gr/2011/08/19/%CF%80%CE%AC%CF%81%CE%B1-%CF%80%CE%BF%CE%BB%CF%8D-%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%BB%CE%AC-%CE%BD%CE%AD%CE%B1-%CE%B1%CF%85%CF%84%CF%8C/

To resolve this problem, greek blog owners can use the plugin Greeklish-Permalings (from the words Greek & English). This plugin adds a filter on the sanitize_title function of WordPress with a new function that converts every non-latin character to a similar latin. For example, the greek alpha character “α” becomes the latin alpha character “a” and so on. So when someone creates a new post, and wordpress tries to create a slug automatically, sanitize-title is called, which is hooked to the plugin, and so a slug with only latin characters is created, even if there are non-latin characters in the title.

You can see the code of this very small plugin on my dropbox:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1816074/greeklish-permalinks.php

The problem is that the plugin does not work with bbpress titles. If a forum or topic title contains greek (non-latin) characters, they are not converted to latin even if the plugin is enabled. Does someone know why is this happening?

Doesn’t bbpress call the sanitize_title function? Do not plugin function filters work for custom post types?

You might want to remove the whole .reply itself, if it’s not used elsewhere.

[Gautam Gupta]

Just remove float:left from .reply in style.css.

SOrry Tom, I didn’t understand any of that mate

[tomunthank]

The bbpress 2.0 install theme bbp-twentyten and not functioning properlly. the pgn seems to missing or corrupted and does show on the install theme page in wordpress. I have not looked any of the code so i do know if there is also a code problem.

[GHOSTChoja]

Just to make your insight a bit clearer here’s what I’ve done thus far and the dead-ends I’ve encountered:

Below I have used the instructions with the Static Red Theme:

2. Installation

---

Quick guide:

1) If this is your first custom theme, you will have to create a directory called “my-templates” inside

your bbPress root directory

>>>The only BBPress directory I could find was in the WordPress ‘plugin’ directory. This gave me:

/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/my-templates<<<

2) Upload entire static-red/ folder to your my-templates folder

>>>Yep, did that<<<

3) Activate the theme from your ACP under Appearance

>>>This does not show anything relating to any of the BBPress themes I have installed <<<

No I said I managed to get it to work. How ever when visiting the page with the topic or forum its a WordPress page. When NOT using that code snippit i got the 404 page

I don’t understand your sticky post on how to make a theme (I am assuming WordPress themes can be created into) compatibility with bbpress.

for what I understand of that sticky since I am the author of my theme I go into the bbpress default theme and copy all the files out of there and paste them into my theme. This would over ride things like my css, functions and possibly other files. what would you suggest to do to get around this (instead of creating a child theme).

So here is what I did – as I read the sticky like 10 times:

I copied all the files, except for the style and the functions.php and pasted them into my theme. these are the files from the from the bbpress default theme and pasted into my current wordpress theme. I then added the php code snipit to my functions.php like the sticky states. I then activated it (the theme) and went to where the forums should be. I am now getting 404 errors.

ideas?

Hi Jared,

So it was not on sadly… however.. what you said fixed it! THANK YOU!

One more question while I have you in my thread. How do I add forums to the nav bar? Right now its got the default Home and Sample page. I thought that would be under Appearance > Menus. So I added a “custom link”(being that there is no check box for plugins). But I have a feeling this is for some kind of pull down menu and not the nav bar.

BTW, is there a place for ‘noobies’ to go? Just googling these questions and not finding answers makes me feel like Im super noobie questions that are too noobie to be asked in the webs.

Im moving from vBulletin forums so excuse my stumbling. Cheers!

When using BuddyPress with BBpress, it acts all screwy…

[bbp-topic-index] and [bbp-topic-form] both show “BLOG ARCHIVES NOT FOUND” when I use those short codes:

http://montecristoowners.com/topics/

[bbp-login] and [bbp-lost-pass] don’t work at all. Just show the title of the page … with no content at all.

[bbp-register] is the only one that works, pointing the user to registration page.

[Jared Atchison]

Have you tried using one of the shortcodes to generate the forum index?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

It looks like your theme is displaying the forums with an archive view instead of using bbP’s forum view.

[SRobbins]

I need a lot of help. I installed bbPress, and figured it would ask me configuration during the process… it did not.

I have 2 problems:

1) I dont know how to set up a link in my menu bar for my forum.

2) I assumed it would ask me where I want to forums to exist to the outside world. I want them at http://www.mysite.com/forums. but I have no clue where it stuck them.

the mysite.com is running wordpress right on it. A lot of the helpo I have found involves editing PHP code. While im a net geek I cant read PHP greek speak.

Its a freash install so I dont need to worry about breaking thread links and the likes. Please help.
