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.”

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

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');

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

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

[John James Jacoby]

No typo. Fixed in branch.

[John James Jacoby]

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.

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

[John James Jacoby]

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?

@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

bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/content-single-user-edit.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

[echeaptravel1]

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.

[John James Jacoby]

@tofugu – Are you using Beta 3 or RC1 from the plugin branch?

@folgerj – The only donations I’m looking for are testers and contributors. For launch, there will probably be some auto-page creation to get the most common ones up and running right away.

Also, is there an easy way from within a theme (say in functions.php or via style.css) to change the default size of gravatars in the topic reply dialog? I’m assuming it would require a function as bbPress is setting it via a function, from what I was able to glean peeking at the bbPress code. Thanks.

We have done a bit of testing with this as it’s a major issue for us.

We’ve got the translators to work on beta1 and understand the logic as follows (based on function load_textdomain()):

1.- translated po (mo) files have to be named bbpress-xx_XX.mo with the xx being the language/country combination as on standart WordPress Codex (ie es_ES) for spanish / Spain

2.- function will look for the file under the plugin directory//bbp-languages and if it’s not there will look for it at the standart WP language dir, normally wp-include/languages but this may vary.

Hope this helps anyone with this issue. Perhaps a TXT file with this info could be included under the bbp-languages folder of the plugin.

[alsur]

Justa a comment but I feel it would make sense to split the “old” forums regarding bbPress with the plugin related ones having so many differences in the code.
