I see the ticket, I commented on it yesterday. I can’t duplicate it, and don’t see any reason that cap would cause that behavior.

[John James Jacoby]

Because bbPress 1.0 doesn’t allow for comment splitting.

If what you want to talk about doesn’t have an existing topic, make one. We’re pretty lax about things getting off topic here, but there are a few focused topics (mostly stickies) that I’m trying to keep on topic.

It goes both ways too – if you start a topic for help on something, and someone comes into it and starts asking unrelated questions, eventually there will come a point where you’ll want things to shift back on topic.

I’ve tried the shortcode for the index page, and it’s not taking me to my forum.

I’m trying to use the plugin version.

I am always updating the files as soon as I see an update here:

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin/ so I am REALLY looking forward to see that update

Cheers JJJ

[Thomas Clausen]

Sorry. But that thread doesn’t want bugs either

I’ll just do what John wrote in the long thread you link to, and write a new thread for each issue (hoping they won’t drown in the flow of regular bbPress queries)

I understand that we did wrong, but I don’t understand why a moderator didn’t just split the thread, since I think the comments are very valid regarding bbPress.

I didn’t try it myself, but you can import posts from the stand-alone edition. Try searching for it.

Either way, I would suggest you get a beta running where you try it out first, before you employ it on any live site.

[sdiggles]

Like…Is there documentation for the upgrade process?

[pimarts]

You can use these shortcodes:

Thanks but i dont understand? When i search “bbp_get_topic_edit_link” i have a many lines in the code… what line i must change?

please help me.

I was wondering… will there be a way for users of the forum to be able to post pictures down the road? Can they do it now? or do they need to know html posting codes SRC or the like to put a picture into the forum for others to enjoy…

My forum is a fall foliage in New England http://jeff-foliage.com/fall-foliage-forum/ and I’m getting some interest in the forum but it’s very light yet. It would be nice if they could upload directly but that might be dicey… So I assume they would have to host it somewhere like Picassa and then link back to the forum…

It would be nice though to just have the code there that they click a button to find it online or if they have the code from their site they could paste it in while it’s being hosted at their storage location…

Not sure but I doubt it has something to do with the database collation. Try installing with a database which has its collation set to utf8_unicode_ci

Hello,

I’ve installed bbPress plugin onto a site that uses the Optimize WP theme from Woothemes.

Now, using the short-code I am able to get the forum to display in a page normally.

http://www.carsrecoverylondon.com/forum/

However, when I try to visit a single forum or topic I get a blank page with just header and title but no content,

http://www.carsrecoverylondon.com/forums/forum/support-forum/

Is that a theme problem or a plugin compatibility issue or what?

And how can I work around it?

Many thanks.

I followed the instructions to install and got this error that I need help interpreting and resolving:

SQL ERROR!

The setup did not create the necessary tables in my database for some reason even though the access details are correct.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

You will have to deal with that padding anyway.

To change the avatar size, create a new theme by copying the bbpress-twentyten theme to your WordPress themes directory and changing its name in style.css and then at line 53 of the file bbpress/loop-forums.php (can be the wrong file) look for bbp_author_link function. You will see the size as 14 there, change it to a bigger size.

HI

I’m using the shortcode [bbp-topic-tags] within a text widget ;

to make the tag cloud visible in the sidebar on my Forums.

This is cool, but the tag list is getting bigger and bigger …

Is there a way to limit the number of keywords diplayed ?

Thank you

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Its a prob with your CSS,

At line 5 of colors.css

img.avatar {

padding: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

float: left;

}

This padding is ruining it. Other than that size is ok, you can change it too though.

Hi guys, I have another query, hope the community can help me out here.

Is there any plugin i can use to add a Facebook like button on the start of each thread?

Basically, i want the forum thread/topic to appear on the user’s facebook wall/updates when he/she lieks the forum topic/thread. This activity will/might be noticed by his/her facebook friends and will eventually attract new visitors to the forum if they are interested in te “liked” topic/thread.

hope anyone has this plugin i am thinking.

thanks and best regards,

Lesley

[Mike1233]

yes you are right i better no change anything in the files. But i hope the theme dont change so i have put to many time in my css

but very thanks for help with pictures.

[Laurent Matignon]

Merci beaucoup !

I’ve encountered a little problem. When adding description to a topic-tag, it looks like the shortcode feature is missing a linebreak

For instance here: http://voipsnak.dk/ip-telefoni/emne-tag/fritzbox-2

[BingoGuy1]

I was wondering if there was a function or hook I can use to display the topic & forum description on the forum template in the bbpress loop.

I’d like visitors to go to the forums page, each kind of forum (e.g, general discussion, image posing, inquiry, help, etc.) in the table has the name, the board description, and then the forum meta, then the user clicks on that, and they’re taken to that subpage with a list of all open topics, each topic has a short 1 or 2 sentence bit of the description right there before you click on it.

So essentially, I’d like each table row to have a short preview of what the subpage is beneath the given name.

Is there a function or hook to do this? if not, how else can it be done?

Thanks.

Every forum has an ID. In my case:

<tr class="post-3730 forum type-forum status-publish hentry even" id="bbp-forum-3730">

<td class=”bbp-forum-info”>

General

<div class=”bbp-forum-description”><div class=”pce-enabled-section”><p>Forum despre lucruri generale, ca poneii şi cunilingusul</p>

</div><!– PHP 5.x –></div>

</td>

<td class=”bbp-forum-topic-count”>7</td>

<td class=”bbp-forum-reply-count”>46</td>

<td class=”bbp-forum-freshness”>

2 zile

<p class=”bbp-topic-meta”>

<span class=”bbp-topic-freshness-author”><img width=”14″ height=”14″ class=”avatar avatar-14 photo” src=”https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f862425c1c224dd9830b5f0878dea405?s=14&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D14&r=G&#8221; alt=””> Mr. Edgar</span>

</p>

</td>

</tr>

So just add some css to each and single on of your forums (hopefuly you don’t have too many). My case:

tr#bbp-forum-3730 td.bbp-forum-info {

background: url("images/icon1.png") no-repeat scroll 10px center transparent;

padding-left: 75px;

}

The above code gives the first forum it’s icon. Replace “#bbp-forum-3730” with your #bbp-forum-NUMBER and the rest of the css I think it’self explinatory.

[ratsoid2]

I can’t share it… It’s deeply integrated with my current theme. Even if you had it, it would work properly. Tell me what you need and I could tell you the proper codes to use.

[pimarts]

Thanks a lot for that reply, going to test it out in my beta enviroment right now

[slithx0r]

I actually joined just to post this exact problem.

I managed to figure it out after reading this!

You were right when you suggested it could be to do with the permelinks because I was using the exact same custom structure of “/%category%/%postname%/” and had the same problem.

The solution is either a)

Use the default link structure or

edit function ‘bbp_get_topic_edit_link’ in file

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-topic-template.php

with this line of code

$uri .= ‘?edit=1’;

just before it returns.

Then do the same for

wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-reply-template.php

with function ‘bbp_get_reply_edit_link’

So now the edit url should look like

http://beta.guildwars2community.com/forums/topic/ranger-pets/?edit=1

I hope this helps!
