On my site admins can’t edit the posts either Also, when I edit some very old posts through the admin panel, they get uncategorized and I can’t reassociate them with the correct topic as old topics can not be found in the parent drop down list.

Thanks Gautam,

I did that instead but still having the same problem.

The only way I can solve the problem is by taking:

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/form',       'reply'   ); ?><br />

from single-topic.php out of the loop.

Favorite topics are public in bbPress 2.0, and always have been in previous versions.

Is it possible the reason why they’re appearing for you when you’re logged in, and not for other users (or logged out users) because those topics exist inside a private or hidden forum?

I did find a possible undefined variable situation that could cause an error value to be returned instead of topic ID’s, so if the topics exist in public forums, that code change might fix it.

[kai920]

Yes, that makes sense thanks

So, how do I make sure the first posts are ‘cached properly’? I ran another test import and on the screen, the feedback the plugin importer gave was:

Added topic #2559 (LG's iPhone - the KS20) as topic #1374 with 1 replies.

Is ‘1 reply’ same as ‘1 post’ (and no replies), or does it mean it had 1 reply to the original post?

edit: this line isn’t returning anything (i.e. $first_post is empty)

$first_post = bb_get_first_post( $topic->topic_id );

edit2: turns out, there IS something wrong with my bb_posts table… the post_position column is all 0! Is there a way to repair this?

@bryan_w

Yes, I believe it is indeed a code problem. I have used a number of different forum systems and ordering the forums always follows the same pattern as what I outlined above.

Meaning, I can use order #1 within each sub-forum, otherwise trying to maintain the ordering is a nightmare.

The problem may lie within ‘nested’ orders of sub-forums.

[Anointed]

If I mark a post as either super sticky or sticky it does indeed stick to the top.

However, the same post shows up twice, once on the top, and also repeated again within the list of posts wherever it would normally belong.

In my instance I made a super sticky post and can also find the same sticky post on page2 of my forum. It is even highlighted on page 2, just like it is on page 1.

solution:

I believe this is a similar problem that I ran into when building a featured gallery. The solution was to store the post id#s of my featured posts, and make sure to remove those from the loop calling the regular posts, i.e. no duplicates.

Sorry, I have not read through any of the bbpress code itself beyond theme files to even have a clue on where to fix it, otherwise I would try and post a fix here.

Hello !

After i finally understand what you are doing here…

I checked what i need to do. A little bit confusing for me, my english isn`t that good.

Ok, i setup a new WP (current version with twenty theme) and installed the bbpress 2 beta.

So far so good. Will there be categories in BBpress ? Cause i just need one Forum under one menupoint with different categories with the topics inside.

Currently i can only make different forums wich are seperatet, thant`s a little bit strange cause i have to a menupoint for every forum.

When i click on “forum” at the breadcrump i get this error:

The requested URL /mashup/forums/ was not found on this server.

404, folder not found.

Sure, there is none. Is this just a relict of the older BBPress version where normally i should have this folder ?

First look is nice, this can be great in the future, but its in a very early beta state i guess.

It`s the only forum wich is native in WP and runs directly in the page.

All others like Vbulletin, PHPbb and so can`t be included and iframes are not really nice.

so, BBPress is my hope and the only solution at the horizon.

Thanks for your work.

Hi y’all, nice to see your making such fine progress

In order to register here, I’ve created three accounts (I think), and third time it was successful.

My other email got registered as account but I didn’t get confirmation email, when I requested password reset, I got email with reset instructions but when I clicked it I got message that I’m not allowed to change my password (??).

Why are occupation and interests required fields on registration, seems silly. That register form could definitely use some styling.

[Anointed]

That will probably be the long term solution I will use. However, at the moment with bbpress changing so fast I want to make as few changes as possible to ‘core’ bbpress files.

*I’ll ask you later, when I get to that point, what the best function would be in order to do that as efficiently as possible.

You are working at such a furious pace on bbpress that I have already had to ‘rebuild’ my custom bbpress custom templates over a dozen times.

For now I am simply taking the logic out of every bbpress template and wrapping it into my own templates on each revision. Having to remember to change core code as well would be to much to keep up with.

The bbp_is_topic() function should definitely exist, as long as bbPress is active. Can you confirm that you still have bbPress active on this site?

[John James Jacoby]

@anointed – In a word, no. WordPress custom post types only know to look for their files in the root of the theme folder, and the same goes for page templates as well. For now if you want a totally customized theme, those files need to live in the root. I did my best to minimize the number of files in the root, and instead split them up into template parts in the /bbpress folder (because I want the same thing you do.)

It might be possible to hook into the template loader, see what the request is, and force it to look into a different folder, but there’s no possible way to do it at all with page templates; it’s actually purposely disallowed to prevent the theme from having to scan every file inside every subfolder to find them.

I followed the instructions and copied the files into the themes directory. After reading the above, I just copied them into my child theme also. I have added the required code to functions.php.

I show this child theme:

bbPress (Atahualpa366 Child) 1.1 by bbPress teams, atahualpa team, keith messinger

Adds bbPress forums to the Atahualpa366 theme

Activate | Preview | Delete

The template files are located in /themes/atahualpa366. The stylesheet files are located in /themes/bbp-atahualpa366. bbPress (Atahualpa366 Child) uses templates from Atahualpa/atahualpa366. Changes made to the templates will affect both themes.

When I preview I get this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function bbp_is_topic() in /hermes/bosweb26a/b1658/d5.savethec/public_html/stc/wp-content/themes/bbp-atahualpa366/functions.php on line 165

I know this is a beta and don’t expect it to totally work correctly. More or less just keeping the bbp up to date on my progress.

Thanks!

Hi! Is there any wysiwyg reply form on bbPress 2, like zaerl Editor or BBcode Buttons Toolbar? I tried TinyMCEComments plugin for WP but i didn’t work on bbPress 2

[Gautam Gupta]

There are some plugins available for WordPress which allow the users to add their avatars. You could try one of them. There is no built-in/plugin support as such for your issue.

[Gautam Gupta]

kai920: Right. The 500 internal server error happened because the server couldn’t handle the load.

[Gautam Gupta]

kai920: That probably means that the first posts weren’t cached properly by bbPress standalone (when it was asked to do by the importer). It might fix if you restore your backup and run the import again.

[Gautam Gupta]

tooltrainer: That was a plugin by _ck_. I might port it over if she doesn’t.

The addition of shortcodes will most certainly make it easier for users to embed the forums as they please and see fit….

One thing I would like to see though is the addition of a shortcodes icon within the page/post editors for ease of use, this could be extended to allow you to select the specific forum to build a shortcode string.

When used within a multisite environment it would also lower the amount of confusion as it would most likely also do in single installations. Although shortcodes are simple enough, not everyone is so web savvy.

Simplicity with a forum shortcode insert button would certainly make it much easier and eye pleasing without to much more code. Please!!!!

Thanks for all the great work here!

You should instead add this in your theme’s functions.php:

add_filter( 'bbp_show_lead_topic', '__return_true' );

[janoochen]

When I change this line:

function bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead = false ) {

to this:

function bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead = true ) {

the reply form disappears.

Is this a bug or a feature?

(This happens with a fresh bbpress install).

(I’m using bbpress 2.0 beta and wordpress 3.1)

[John James Jacoby]

Rock solid.
