Thank you Andre! You helped clarify, a bunch.

FYI, at this point I’m using Genesis and a customized Genesis child theme. I got the child theme to be “recognized,” via the “bbpress integration” plugin by putting in a line of code into my custom functions.php file. But now I can’t get the actual *forum* to appear in the basic “page” I created (yes, I put in shortcode: [bbp-forum-index] and published, and made “public.”) I also tried putting in shortcode for showing ONE particular forum. Nothing shows up. I only have one forum (as a test).

I think I’m missing something very obvious here, or, my overall WP 3.2.1 setup is too weirdly customized to even use bbPress at this point. Not sure.

Thanks for trying to help, though. I do appreciate it! I’m looking forward to seeing any new improved documentation they release (“step-by-step” for dummies would be GREAT! maybe a video, too?). I think that would help a LOT for people like me who have never used forum-ware at all, just regular WP plugins.

I tried doing this too. And it worked, in a way. But with that code (I think it was that code I used at least) it enables searching in the forums, but for whatever reason the first result showed up in complete view topic style, including a reply form etc. Which is not really what I wanted for search results.

Probably something on my end, so I disabled that feature for now.

Any ideas JJJ?

I’m trying to do the same thing and I see others are too. Someday some nice person will probably write up a great step-by-step guide as to how to use this plugin (bbPress) after it’s installed and activated. If you guys ever see anything like this, come back and post a link, will you? I will, too. Right now I’m scouring the internet.

First off, I’m sorry to start a new thread here. I commented on one here: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/about-search-field-in-bbpress-20-beta-3 but unfortunately it got closed, so I can’t comment on it.

John James Jacoby told me:

This has been covered in these forums a few times already, which may or may not be an indicator of how little the search functionality gets used.

http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1575

But since I actually commented on a thread regarding the issue, it should tell John, that I actually did a search, and I had actually sought for about 30 minutes before writing the question. And a googlesearch also shows me, that it’s the only place linking to the tracticket: http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1575

Having said that. When I paste the code it just generates an error and the code in the trac ticket should be this instead:

function my_add_bbp_to_search( $post_type ) {

$post_type['exclude_from_search'] = false;



return $post_type;

}

add_filter( 'bbp_register_forum_post_type', 'my_add_bbp_to_search' );

add_filter( 'bbp_register_topic_post_type', 'my_add_bbp_to_search' );

add_filter( 'bbp_register_reply_post_type', 'my_add_bbp_to_search' );

Unfortunately I haven’t figured how to solve these two issues:

– have pages in search results (I always only get one page shown)

– show both forumposts and blogposts in search results.

So any thoughts on these issues would be great.

The long _ck_ version half works – it links, removes the nofollow tag, and adds target=”_blank” to internal links. But external links aren’t linked – just the CSS is applied. Could you post a pastie of the long version of your code?

[sovery]

OK, I created a regular ole WP page and put the shortcode for showing the forum index in that regular ole WP page. Hit publish. I can see it. Great!

Is there a way to get it so it doesn’t have the WP sidebar and looks more like a forum usually looks? Not like it’s inside WordPress, in other words? I am thinking this may be where implementing “forum themes” comes in? If you have a link explaining this, I’d sure love to see it. Thank you so much, again, for taking a moment to help the clueless.

One thing I notice, too, is that there are references everywhere to the “bbPress admin” area and I only see an area in WP’s normal “settings” area and it doesn’t have anything like “bbPress integration” or any options like that. ?? I do see a message on my WP dashboard, “Theme does NOT natively support bbPress.”

[pimarts]

Did you try making a page and putting one of the shortcodes in there?

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

[_ck_]

Check wp-config.php for any lines that define a $wp-> object setting.

They will break wordpress 3.1 or higher and give a $wp->add_query_var error.

For example:

$wp->cookiedomain = '.example.com';

Will work in 3.0 and below but break WP 3.1 and 3.2

You’ll have to research for the replacement define setting as an alternative to $wp->

For example, the modern replacement for the above line is

define(COOKIE_DOMAIN,'.example.com');

Thanks, John! You where right! I was reluctant to update from beta 2 to beta 3 because i customized interface.

I consider there are too many fields, too big avatar, and too much info displayed, making the forum bulky and weird.

Anyway, after I’ve updated it works. The forum shows that some names posted but their posts don’t display, and Akismet spam total grows. Maybe when I eliminated fields and info from interface I removed Akismet code, or Akismet is integrated only now.

Thanks a lot!

I would suggest that this meta-key could be a start somewhere.

$custom_title = bb_get_usermeta($user->ID, 'bbpress_title');

[John James Jacoby]

What is it exactly that you’re trying to do. Anything is possible.

[John James Jacoby]

@t.sjodren – Your translation is helpful, but not related to this topic.

[John James Jacoby]

No typo. Fixed in branch.

Known issue. Fixed in branch for some time.

Somehow the eol-style setting to native on the new file in that commit, caused that to happen. Weird.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

Tag pages like http://dev.example.net/forums/topic-tag/test/ don’t show any topics. I can see topics count in dashboard but they don’t show up on frontend.

Just this message as if there were no tags Oh bother! No topics were found here!

P.S. Oh bother? Typo?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

@JJJ I think some of the files have been accidentally committed with native word in the following files.

bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/content-single-topic.php:native

Using 2.0-beta3 version.

I too miss the ability to search across the entire WordPress installation. Any news on this? A forum without search capability isn’t much use. Unless you would want users to keep making new threads to already answered questions

[master5o1]

anointed will enjoy 0.4.1 in that it has the option to have manual bar insertion.

It also means that the deletion JavaScript isn’t necessary to show as there any place it is at should be the desired place, so manual insertion doesn’t insert that JavaScript.

I had a minor derp moment on the subversion in that I made a mistake with 0.4.0, so made it 0.4.1 really quickly -_-

Should be good.

Now i’m going to have a small break and give some attention to my girlfriend

I thought that by using the short code to put it into different posts I can get some traction there… Right now I have no real visitors for the most part… I would just like to get Fall foliage questions from visitors there since I’ve seen those questions come up in google searches alread!

[folgerj]

do we have any examples of registration forms that others are using.. I just saw the short codes this after noon and I am incorporating one into my next blog article. Right now I have the forum listing on the left side of my sidebar to let people know that it’s there..

I’m not sure what it can do and If anyone wants to strut their stuff and post their forum, I’ll come take a look…

If I look at yours maybe you’ll come take a look at mine…

There aren’t any plugins which interact directly with bbPress 2.0 as of yet, but they’ll probably pop up as soon as 2.0 goes gold.

What kind of added functions are you looking for anyway?

You can use a shortcode on a separate page to create a proper registration form. You can find all the current shortcodes on https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes.

For theme support, you should take a look at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility.

Currently, only the bundled Twenty Ten child theme natively supports bbPress 2.0, but in compatibility mode, it should work with most themes.

Beta 3: bbPress 2.0-beta-3b

Should I be using RC1? If so, is upgrading as easy as replacing plugin folder (i hope i hope i hope!)

[Travis Smith]

Seeing the filters in bbpress.php:

// Post type identifiers

$this->forum_post_type    = apply_filters( 'bbp_forum_post_type', 'forum'     );

$this->topic_post_type    = apply_filters( 'bbp_topic_post_type', 'topic'     );

$this->reply_post_type    = apply_filters( 'bbp_reply_post_type', 'reply'     );

I thought this could be easily modified; however, I am struggling to get my filters to work from functions.php. I’ve tried the following solutions:

add_filter( 'bbp_forum_post_type' , function($post_type) { return 'wps_' . $post_type; } );

add_filter( 'bbp_topic_post_type' , function($post_type) { return 'wps_' . $post_type; } );

add_filter( 'bbp_reply_post_type' , function($post_type) { return 'wps_' . $post_type; } );

And,

add_filter( 'bbp_forum_post_type' , 'wps_my_custom_post_type' , 1, 1 );

add_filter( 'bbp_topic_post_type' , 'wps_my_custom_post_type' , 1, 1 );

add_filter( 'bbp_reply_post_type' , 'wps_my_custom_post_type' , 1, 1 );

function wps_my_custom_post_type( $post_type ) {

//just add prefix

$prefix = 'wps_';

return $prefix . $post_type;

}

Neither seem to work, and I am not sure what I am missing.
