Hi

The forum plugin is amazing and I love it. Huge kudos!

I’m trying to get a forum up and running at http://www.riftlabs.com

I’m using bbPress with an existing Woo template.

The (only?) thing I can’t seem to add is user registration. There is no widget or shortcode for it.

I tried adding bbPress – TwentyTen as a child theme, but that messes up the layout, which is to be expected, I guess.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Morten

We needed to add another filter, so the code looks like this:

add_filter( 'get_user_display_name', 'rk_display_name' );

add_filter( 'get_post_author', 'rk_display_name' );

function rk_display_name($name, $ID = 0) {

if ( !seems_utf8( $name ) ) {

return utf8_encode( $name );

}

return $name;

}

@kai920 – Go to the tools/recount area of your stand alone installation, and run all of the recount functions there (just to be on the safe side.)

I wrote a quick script (took me a lot longer than it should have) to re-populate the post_position column. If anyone needs it let me know. My ’empty first post’ problem is solved. Thanks everyone who helped!

Hi,

I dont know what happen, currently I found my bbpress (1.0.3) admin could not open the user admin page with error “You are not allowed to do this here”.

Currently my bbpress template was integrated with wordpress they installed separately.

You can look the page here: http://teknoinfo.web.id/forum

previously it works fine, after i do some changes regarding bug in the count bbpress from here http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problems-on-recount-tools-after-upgrade-102-to-103, not sure its related or not.

From the error_log i found:

[28-Apr-2011 02:36:13] ERROR: bbPress database error – “Table ‘latqueir_teknoforum.bb_privatemessages’ doesn’t exist” for query “SELECT * FROM bb_privatemessages” via caller “bb_activate_plugin, include, bbPM->bbPM, bbPM->update”

Is there anyone experience this ?

I don’t want to hijack the thread where JJJ and I were talking about the template locations filling up my theme root, so here is a new post.

I was playing around with an idea, and before I go to far with it, I was curious what you think.

You had mentioned that this type of system was expressly forbidden by wp, due to having to search all folders for files before proceeding. That would be a nightmare, but here I am defining the folders up front, so it ‘should’ be just as fast, though I am unsure of how to bench test it.

If we could get a system in place like this, then it would clean up the theme area considerably.

I am using the same logic on a number of client sites and it works perfectly, though they are not using bbpress or buddypress. I simply use it for my own custom post-types.

example:

public function template_include( $template ) {

if ( get_query_var('post_type') == $this->post_type ) {



if ( is_single() ) {

if ( $single = locate_template( array( $this->post_type.'/single.php') ) )

return $single;

}

if ( is_paged() ) {

if ($paged = locate_template( array( $this->post_type.'/archive.php') ) )

return $paged;

}

else { // loop

return locate_template( array(

$this->post_type . '/index.php',

$this->post_type . '.php',

'index.php'

));

}



}

return $template;

}

This would completely change the structure of bbpress template names, but could potentially allow me to store everything inside 3 folders ‘forums/topics/replies’.

I’m sure there would be much more to it than that….

What do you think of this type of approach?

*right now it is quite generic and would effect all custom post_types, which would not be good. Changing to be bbpress specific would prob just be a matter of defining types in the array vs. all

I’m really asking because even though I know I could get this to work, I am quite curious how this would end up effecting buddypress when combined with bbpress.

Would a system like this be a deal breaker?

Good idea or bad?

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.

[janoochen]

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.

[John James Jacoby]

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.

[John James Jacoby]

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.

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