Still not sure how

[zaerl]

So you must manually change the loop the you will find in the template file front-page.php.

You have to manually modify the template file front-page.php line 20.

Looks like some of that code could be useful. I’m not a PHP whizz though. Would you or anyone else be able to help me *rewrite* it to what I am wanting to do above?

Much appreciated.

[chrishajer]

Do you want to echo the $page if ANY of them are true? So, an OR statement?

<?php if ($page>1 && (is_front() || is_topic() || is_forum())) echo " page $page"; ?>

That should do it, unless I misunderstood your problem.

[gerikg]

Okay here is the update:

I created discussion.php and put it in root. In the file I put…

<?php



require('./bb-load.php');



bb_repermalink();



$bb_db_override = false;

do_action( 'bb_index.php_pre_db' );



if ( isset($_GET['new']) && '1' == $_GET['new'] ) :

$forums = false;

elseif ( !$bb_db_override ) :

$forums = bb_get_forums(); // Comment to hide forums

if ( $topics = get_latest_topics( false, $page ) ) {

bb_cache_last_posts( $topics );

}

if ( $super_stickies = get_sticky_topics() ) {

bb_cache_last_posts( $super_stickies );

}

endif;



bb_load_template( 'discussion.php', array('bb_db_override', 'super_stickies') );



?>

It’s the same as index.php except for the last line I put discussion.php

Then I created the template file discussion.php. I put in the file:

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

<?php if ( $forums ) : ?>



<div id="discussions">

<?php if ( $topics || $super_stickies ) : ?>



<h2><?php _e('Latest Discussions'); ?></h2>



<table id="latest">

<tr>

<th><?php _e('Topic'); ?> — <?php bb_new_topic_link(); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Posts'); ?></th>

<!-- <th><?php _e('Voices'); ?></th> -->

<th><?php _e('Last Poster'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Freshness'); ?></th>

</tr>



<?php if ( $super_stickies ) : foreach ( $super_stickies as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <big><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></big><?php topic_page_links(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<!-- <td class="num"><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> -->

<td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; // $super_stickies ?>



<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>

<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a><?php topic_page_links(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>

<!-- <td class="num"><?php bb_topic_voices(); ?></td> -->

<td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class="num"><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></td>

</tr>

<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>

</table>

<?php bb_latest_topics_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="nav">', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>

<?php endif; // $topics or $super_stickies ?>



</div>



<?php else : // $forums ?>



<div class="bbcrumb"><a href="<?php bb_uri(); ?>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a> &raquo; <?php _e('Add New Topic'); ?></div>



<?php post_form(); endif; // $forums ?>



<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

Now bb_new_topic_link() & topic_class() for sticky does not work.

[psycheangels]

hmm maybe you can make a condition that check if there is no parent category in that forum (by depth). i think i have seen the code for your problem in this forum but i forgot to bookmark it

[psycheangels]

maybe this will help ?

ok – I see – this is the standard settings for topics, posts and tags.

With the plugin from _ck_ it is possible to set different count limits for nearly every bbPress page:

• front-page
• forum-page
• topic-page
• view-page
• tag-page
• tag-page
• search-page
• feed-page
• profile-page
• favorites-page
• stats-page

Okay here is how I want it to work:

<?php if ( bb_forums() ) : ?>



<!-- FOR EACH TOP LEVEL CATEGORY BUILD A DIV WITH A H3 AND OL -->



<?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?>



<div class="box">



<?php if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) : ?>



<h3><a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a></h3>



<?php endif; ?>



<ol>



<!-- FOR EACH FORUM BUILD A LI (only show top level children not children within those) -->



<li class="arrow f_unread">

<a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>">

<strong><?php forum_name(); ?></strong><br />

<?php forum_topics(); ?> Topics / <?php forum_posts(); ?> Replies

</a>

</li>



</ol>



</div>



<?php endwhile; ?>



<?php endif; // bb_forums() ?>

I only want top level cats and forums to show on the front page, clicking on those will show the sub-forums when you view in the individual forums.

Can anyone help?

[mr_pelle]

No answer, so I made a plugin upload request today: “Nicer Permalinks” will be online soon!

[driz]

Okay changed all forums to have cats, but I need each block of forums with a cat to have this setup:

<div class="box">

<h3>CAT</h3>

<ol>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

</ol>

</div>

At the moment it’s repeating the div and ol for each forum and not containing the forums within a cat inside just one div and ol.

ALSO

But because I have categories within categories it will become messy nested. So I only want to show top level forums and not the sub-forums/cats within.

[driz]

Hi I have the following code:

<?php if ( bb_forums() ) : ?>



<?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?>



<div class="box">



<?php if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) : ?>



<h3><a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a></h3>



<?php continue; endif; ?>



<ol>



<li class="arrow f_unread">

<a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>">

<strong><?php forum_name(); ?></strong><br />

<?php forum_topics(); ?> Topics / <?php forum_posts(); ?> Replies

</a>

</li>



</ol>



</div>



<?php endwhile; ?>



<?php endif; // bb_forums() ?>

Struggling to get it to work how I want which is basically like this:

for each category do this:

<div class="box">

<h3>CAT</h3>

<ol>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

</ol>

</div>

so that div should be repeated for each block. if a set of forums has not category, then all of the code would be above would run but just no h3.

so an example might look like this:

<div class="box">

<h3>CAT</h3>

<ol>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

</ol>

</div>



<div class="box">

<h3>CAT</h3>

<ol>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

</ol>

</div>



<div class="box">

<ol>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

</ol>

</div>



<div class="box">

<ol>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

<li>Forum</li>

</ol>

</div>

can anyone help thanks.

Hi gerikg,

this post could help you:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/create-a-new-custom-page-like-wordpress

1. Make a custom page

create a page discussion.php in the root forum folder

add require_once(‘./bb-load.php’); on the top of the page. and write whatever code you want in the page.. that should create a static page with bbpress functions..

2. Put in the code for the Latest discussions from the main page (?)

or

3. Make your own sql query – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/create-a-new-custom-page-like-wordpress

Hi all

Has anyone come across a fix for bbPress inregards to brute force attacks on passwords?

A brute force attack allows a user to attempt to login to the application with a valid user account using a dictionary of words for the password without the account being locked out.

bbPress allows multipul attempts at password entry without locking the user out. This means that someone can use a application to hack into a users account.

Has anyone made a fix/ plugin for this? Or know a way of solving this?

Help/ thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

[gerikg]

<?php if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) {; ?>

<table id="forumlist">

<tr<?php bb_forum_class('bb-category'); ?>>

<td colspan="4" class="cattile"><?php bb_forum_pad( '<div class="nest">' ); ?><a href="<?php forum_link(); ?>"><?php forum_name(); ?></a><?php forum_description( array( 'before' => '<small> – ', 'after' => '</small>' ) ); ?><?php bb_forum_pad( '</div>' ); ?></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<th colspan="2"><?php _e('Main Theme'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Topics'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Posts'); ?></th>

</tr>

<?php } else { ?>

<table id="forumlist">

<tr>

<th colspan="2"><?php _e('Main Theme'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Topics'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Posts'); ?></th>

</tr>

<?php };?>

<?php continue; endif; ?>

I can’t get it right..

[chrishajer]

I suppose you could do the complete noob thing and say:

<?php if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) {

continue;

}

else {

// do something

}

?>

Unless I am completely missing your point and this is some sort of test

[chrishajer]

Is it as simple as:

<?php if ( !bb_get_forum_is_category() ) {

// whatever

?>

[gerikg]

Add

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

to your .htacess file. By default GoDaddy uses php4

bah I should add pictures to my tutorial!

Hi chris,

thanks for your long post. It’s great to have you here as moderator

Honestly though, we have bigger problems than just putting a fresh face on the bbPress.org website. That would be the least of my concerns.

I can understand thoughs – although I’ve made a post about the “fresh face” just minutes ago. After using bbPress more than a year I believe in the future of this project. And I will contribute – where I can help.

For my thoughts … there should be a defined project team to coordinate the next steps. The weekly IRC meetups in December and January were the right way. To define a document team was also great. But after three months there are only you and Gautam “driving” the project.

Markus

[jurasiks]

I no need access. I need people who have access.

Matt left project (as u mentioned) and keep people with access. But this people left project too?

p.s. i added ps before u left comment)

p.p.s i don’t want fork good engine before it will become “another wp-plugin” – if you no need our help – it’s ok. just say

[chrishajer]

bbPress.org is just a WordPress site with a bbPress installation. You have everything you need in the bbPress releases to create your own fork or distribution or CMS engine. Why would you need FTP/DB access to create a project like that? All you need is the bbPress code right?

The person who has access to the database and FTP or server is Matt, or someone who works for him. I believe you’ve already gotten in contact with him.

[jurasiks]

i really have idea to fork bbPress and clean wp code out of him when i heard that bbPress will become a WP plugin,

next somebody (maybe Gautam) said that before some version bbPress stays standalone…

really, it’s no reason to make fork, best way to make new simple-forum(cms) engine with my friends, but…

if you have here “dedicated” community and wants some help from me and another people… no reason to blame me (man who wants make wiki about bbpress and help with project) or calling me a troll. thank you.

we need to find admin (with full FTP/DB access) of bbPress.org

that’s what i’m doing past week.

only with him we can make future of bbPress engine

p.s. very strange that people who develop bbPress dont know answer on this simple question?

[chrishajer]

I believe I am an editor at the bbPress.org WordPress blog. That means I don’t have access to the Appearance tab (to change themes) or to Plugins or Settings. I have access to Pages and Posts so I can made additions or modifications to content there, but I can’t change the design or anything like that.

Honestly though, we have bigger problems than just putting a fresh face on the bbPress.org website. That would be the least of my concerns.

Yury, if you’re not seriously talking about creating a fork, but gave this topic a title like that “to get people’s attention” then you’re trolling, which is not productive.

Right now, we have the bbPress.org forums, which are moderated daily by me. I help out with solutions where I can, or try to pull information out of users who post of problems with very few details, to possibly help some other thoughtful soul who might come along and be able to help.

I don’t touch integration problems at all (“when I log in to bbPress, I am automatically logged out of WordPress” anyone?) because integration is far too complicated with too much voodoo required (PHP5? 777 permissions? pasting in keys and cookie domains that may or may not make a difference?) for someone who just wants to install a forum where their WordPress users can be logged in automatically. For that reason, and a couple others (functional integration [ability to use things like wp_list_pages()] and theme integration (“I want my bbPress to just be a page inside my WordPress site” or “how do I make bbPress look like my WordPress theme?”)) I support the decision to make bbPress a WordPress plugin.

Honestly though, I’m not sure how that will work with custom post types coming in 3.0. Justin Tadlock was playing with an idea that used custom post types to create a forum structure, and it looked pretty neat. He lost that work in a hard drive crash or something, but he mentioned it didn’t take long to do.

For those who want bbPress as standalone, please feel free to download the versions that exist right now. Download them daily, in case development ceases at some point. Right now, we’re continuing to fix bugs in the existing versions. After all the bugs are fixed it’s anyone’s guess what will happen.

And with a fork of bbPress you’d arguably have more control (heck, you can fork it now with one of the existing versions, create your own website and distribute the software) but you’d be hard pressed to match the community we have here. It may not be big, but it’s dedicated, and if you’re interested in seeing bbPress continue this is the best place to be.
