Go to your theme folder, find the theme. Edit front-page.php:

Remove the following:

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

<h2><?php _e('Forums'); ?></h2>

<table id="forumlist">



<tr>

<th><?php _e('Main Theme'); ?></th>

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

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

</tr>

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

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

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

<td colspan="3"><?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>

<?php continue; endif; ?>

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

<td><?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>

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

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

</tr>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</table>

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

take out

if you’re using 2.8.4a and make sure the other “defines” are right after <?

Hello,

There is a bug in bb-includes/functions.bb-forums.php, at line 101 in bbpress v1.0.2. The code assumes that the forum_id is the sames the array_id when the array is flattened. This is not always the case if you apply_filters to the forum list such as private forums does.

The code ccurrently reads:

_forums[$_id] = $forums[$_id]

Which may not be true if the forum id is not the same as the array id.

This code does fixed the problem…. The key is to convert forum_id into an array enumerator so that when you look at $_ids you compare to the proper array which is no longer the full array but one with missing topics/forums.

$forums = (array) apply_filters( ‘get_forums’, $forums );

+ foreach($forums as $f) {

+ $fids[$f->forum_id] = $f;

+ }

if ( $child_of || $hierarchical || $depth ) {

$_forums = bb_get_forums_hierarchical( $child_of, $depth, $forums );

if ( !is_array( $_forums ) )

return false;

$_forums = (array) bb_flatten_array( $_forums, $cut_branch );

foreach ( array_keys($_forums) as $_id )

+ $_forums[$_id] = $fids[$_id];

Suppose I was to use .9, is there any way to actually get my 1.0 database over to a .9 install?

See, this is the major problem that has been plaguing me all this time. To begin with, I only switched to bbPress because my phpBB3 (modded) broke and the database was partially messed up (no matter what I tried, I could not get that database onto a clean install).

Luckily I was able to get that db over to bbPress, but now that I am here I feel like A) I’m stuck (no backup/restore feature scares me half to death, and that I might have made a mistake. To hear that I should be downgrading to an older version is pretty frightening too, because this is for a client, and I wasn’t planning on sticking around for years to fix all the potential things that might happen from using a year old version of something (especially when support for the .9 version gets dropped altogether.

I really don’t like phpBB3. It does not offer me to the modification/ease of use that I need as a dev. On the other hand, it seems like the more I try to do with bbPress, the less it delivers. Almost none of the useful plugins work with 1.0.2, so I’m stuck deciding whether I should spend the time creating my own theme (based off of the WP theme for the client), or whether I should be trying to figure out how to get this db (which has changed since I left phpBB3) and move it to a platform that is more mature.

This is all very frustrating – and basically illustrates why I hate forum software in general. Any suggestions? I’m desperate/almost at my wits end…

All I really want is:

1. avatars (not just gravatars) [that users can upload for themselves]
2. private messages
3. attachments
4. smilies

And yet, it seems like even these things cannot be had with 1.0 – at least not from what I can find by searching this site (which by the way really needs to organize plugins based on bbPress version compatibility). So in a round about way, I guess I’m stuck with bbPress (and hopefully things will improve – don’t get me wrong it’s great software, but it’s just too simple [without plugins] for what I need). That being said, if the only way for me to enjoy those features lised above is via plugins, then how do I downgrade my install to .9? Alternatively, can I [and if so how do I] install .9 and then point it to my pre-existing 1.0 database (so that all the users, posts, etc, are not lost, and so they resolve in the new .9 install)?

Thanks in advance for any help that you – or anyone else – can give me…

Sam mentioned a year or so ago that:

There will be a sort of super plugin that you will be able to integrate into bbPress to get most of the functionality of TalkPress. The working name for the project is “bbPress Channels”. It will be released after TalkPress.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/talkpress-suggestions

TalkPress is their hosted “bbPress MU” – so it sounds like eventually, we’ll have the ability to host multiple bbPress sites from a single install.

[johnhiler]

The only way I know of to allow unusual characters in usernames is to use display names… but that wouldn’t change the URL of user’s profile.

Yah I definitely recommend using the 0.9.x branch. If you’re using a lot of plugins, it’s going to be really frustrating to be on 1.0.

Glad you’re liking bbPress better than phpBB3!

[anandasama]

Ah gerikg! Thanks alot! This works perfectly!

[dudenas]

Sorry, cannot agree.

1. Ive done a little survey, and it showed that often people dont participate in forums only because they have to register, and they don`t like it.

2. Most of my users are not very computer-literate.

3. Also you have to keep an ugly technical sticky post for as long as the last user changes password.

Not so nice imho.

[jeffhiggins]

Is it possible to allow for / in usernames?

I recently converted my phpbb board to bbPress, but one of my members had a username that looked like ///Abcd.

So as opposed to forcing him to change his username, is it possible to dig into the code and allow /’s for usernames?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: Sorry if this thread is in the wrong forum!

[dbone]

Not sure if this is the best method but I don’t have more time to research and here is what I came up with:

1. Create a new file; /my-plugins/bb-template.php

2. Code:

add_filter('bb_template', '_bb_template');



function _bb_template($template)

{

if (preg_match('/login.php/i', $template))

{

header('Location: /myurl/');

exit();

}



return $template;

}

3. Activate in bb-admin

[Randolf]

I´m very very stupid….

I solved the problem…

When I copied the hashes (AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, etc…) in the bb-config, I replace the name of the variables… AUTH_KEY instead of BB_AUTH_KEY…..

I corrected the name of the variables and NOW all work perfectly..

Sorry for your time spent and thanks very very much for your help…

Best Regards…

[dbone]

Which file did you edit? I was not able to find it in the default theme.

I did find the code that creates the link in /bb-includes/function-bbtemplate.php, post_form(), line 311 for version 1.0.1.

[Olaf Lederer]

The tags are created inside the templates files, the style sheet might use some more “advanced” classes and attributes

There are more ways to style html, not just simple pseudo classes

Nothing….

Hi.

I have added a bbpress to a wordpress. Everything works fine, but now I would like to change how the appearance is in the forum list on the front page. Right now I am not fully happy with that. I can see that the class is

either: <tr class=”alt”> or only <tr> which affects how each row is presented. But I can not find this in the style.css file. It drives me nuts…

Also where forums is presented I get the <bb-precedes-sibling bb-follows-sibling bb-root> and alt at the end. But where is it controlled how they look like?

Regards,

Chris

Hi once again,

could you please give us a hint on non-working passwords? Is it a real issue, or did we do something wrong?

As I see, we dont need to do anything with md5 insecurity for bbpress plugin - its already integrated?

phpbb3 password plugin is autoloaded.

Could it be problems with mysql version? Mine is 4.1.22

Thanks in advance,

Justas

[Navin]

You mean to make it show on every page?

This is the code located in logged-in.php that’s being called:

<p id=”inloggen”>

• <?php printf(__(‘Fawaka, %1$s’), bb_get_profile_link(bb_get_current_user_info( ‘name’ )));?>
• <?php bb_admin_link( ‘before= ‘ );?>
• <?php bb_logout_link(); ?>

</p>

This is what I have in my header.php

<div id=”inloggen”>

<?php if ( !in_array( bb_get_location(), array( ‘login-page’, ‘register-page’ ) ) ) login_form(); ?>

<?php if ( bb_is_profile() ) ; ?>

</div>

However, if you are on the frontpage (/index.php) or any other page, apart from profile.php

you don’t see the “edit” link.

Got?

[gerikg]

anandasama here’s acouple of codes that will help you. I think I know what you’re planning.

This will put the user’s name with link to their buddypress profile:

<?php echo post_author_link();?>

This will get the user’s login name:

<?php echo get_user_name( get_post_author_id() ); ?>

This is you can send message like PM but it uses message in Buddypress:

<a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/members/

<?php global $current_user;get_currentuserinfo();echo($current_user->user_login);

?>/messages/compose/?r=<?php echo get_user_name( get_post_author_id() ); ?>">Send Message</a>

[Navin]

I want to add an “edit” button right next to the “log out” button, but i’m not sure what calls this the page. I checked the logged-in.php and found this:

<?php printf(__(‘Welcome, %1$s’), bb_get_profile_link(bb_get_current_user_info( ‘name’ )));?>

That generates “Welcome, username”

What code generates the “edit” button?

I checked the profile.php and I found that this code outputs an EDIT button:

<?php if (bb_current_user_can( ‘edit_user’, $user->ID )) : ?>

<?php printf(__(‘You may edit this information.’), esc_attr( get_profile_tab_link( $user_id, ‘edit’ ) ) ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

The downpart of this code is, the output is only visible when you actually are on the profile page. I need something like this which is visible no matter which you page you are.

Ideas?

[pikatore]

ok, cookie found.

PHPSESSID

and i have a value for it.

is it a simple matter of subbing that value into the line of code in the first post?

what will that do? does it make the chat function use your login name?

[EmileGoss]

Hey everyone,

I recently installed bbPress and thought I was finally done with everything, but now, I get the error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_header() in /usr/home/

---

/public_html/forum/forum.php on line 1

whenever I go to one of the forum categories. I’ve checked over the code in the file and everything seems fine (and this is the only thing that has an error on the forum, as far as I can tell), so I’m not sure why it’s saying the function is undefined…if anyone could help me resolve this problem, I’d greatly appreciate it; I’ve been looking forward to having a functioning forum for quite a while!

Some additional information, if it helps: I’m using the blank 3 column theme (modified, of course), and the Post Count Plus plugin with bbPress 1.0.2

Thanks in advance,

Emile

[gerikg]

_ck_ they did it to your theme too.

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/theme-hybrid-kakumeibbpressorg-template#post-56316

it’s that website adding codes to the header and removing the original author’s footer.

[suzkaw]

I am the person that ported the theme I have to HIGHLY recommend you download it again from my release page: http://ericlbarnes.com/projects/inove-for-bbpress/

Just to confirm I did download it from their site and it does in fact have this code. More than likely that whole site is a scam site.
