Hello, i didn’t know a better title but i’ll try to explain what i meant to say.

I don’t understand why it’s very easy to get all info that you need from the Topic Starter and when you need the same info from the last person who has replied on a topic it’s very difficult.

Look at my screenshot and you’ll see what i’m trying to say.
http://i48.tinypic.com/33op6wz.png

Everything on this picture is done by CSS the only images you’ll see are the Gravatars,
At the left side it’s the Gravatar of the Topic Starter with a Hover effect when i took the screenshot.

I didn’t use the default PHP code that bbPress provided because it wasn’t very clean so i searched around and found a few simple and easy to understand PHP tags who could help me build my custom lay-out.


php bbp_topic_author_url(); = provides a clean url

php bbp_topic_author_display_name(); = provides clean text without url

php bbp_topic_author_avatar( $topic_id = 0, $size = 60 ); = provides a gravatar with url


I love those simple codes because i can add and wrap HTML around it and position everything i need on every corner of the website if i would like so..

But when i try to make the same Gravatar at the right side it’s getting difficult because there aren’t a few simple tags i can use to get the same clean code from the last person who has posted inside a topic.


php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), 'type' => 'avatar', 'size' => 60 ) ); = provides a gravatar with url okay

php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), 'type' => 'name' ) ); = this doesn't provide clean text but a name + url


It’s a huge bummer because i can’t make the Hover effect on the Gravatar without clean code tags.

It’s in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-core-shortcodes.php. Don’t edit a core file. Use a filter.

I would like to have a form like the shortcode forms, [bbp-topic-form] is what I need but without the drop down box for choosing a forum but rather a forum already been chosen.

From looking at the short codes the following looks exactly like what I need:

[bbp-xxx-xxx id=$forum_id]** – Display the ‘New Topic Form’ for a specific forum ID.

However I don’t believe this has been added. Is there any way to achieve this? Or any plugins that can do this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

well done michael! it looks like you did it! but i think there is a more simple way to do so(lets say another way instead of an easy way because your way is not difficult also!). when you install bbpress you can go to yoursite/topics and see list of all topics. in this page you can see similarities with items that you really need:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/65583116/topics1.JPG

the only thing you need to do is find out what file in bbpress do this job. the file is:

loop-single-topic.php

and here is the codes related to what we want:enter link description here

and finally the last thing is having a summary of topic content. that’s i dont know it yet! 😀

Hi,

Great forum plugin!

I am however experiencing some annoying theme compatibility issues…

My forum page (with [bbp-forum-index] shortcode) was wrongly picking up my theme’s css, instead of the bbpress css.

Resulting in an unusable forum layout.

I have applied the theme compatibility actions by copying the necessary bbp-theme-compat directory/files to my theme root.

By setting the correct bbpress page template via its page attributes, the main forum page (now without shortcode) seems to pick up the bbpress css. But shortcodes are still picking up the wrong css via the default theme page template..

Any suggestions to make shortcodes work with the bbpress css instead of the theme’s css?

Are there any additional css styles available that work with the bbpress theme-compat templates?

I am using wp 3.4.2, bbpress 2.1.2 and my theme is generated with Artisteer 4.

Regard,Tom

[dailydose]

Currently on Bwater that I customized. I’m on bbPress Version 2.1.2 tried to find what version I am on, on WordPress but can’t seem to find, but do know that Im getting Updates to Update to the WordPress Version : 3.4.2 So take it I am on the old one. I don’t want to Update as I’m Petrofied of loosing all my hard Work that’s took me a year to do, and states in my Update’s that if I do Update, I will loose all my Customizations. RIGHT.. Hoping ANYONE can help me out on this one, I have sat for 4 whole Day’s and Nights trying to figure this out, and has now given up 🙁 I have not toched any bbPress css or has edited it in anyway to say in advance. There seems to be 2 Issues wrong. The Layout.
When I choose the bbPress Default compat theme, The top half is fine, but when we get to the Create New Topic in: section it’s half Cut off you cant even see the Submit button. Widgets are showing fine though.
I’m not to fussed about having set by default but would like to have it as a full page width, which I have done followed all Instructions! of even going into my Page setting the page attributes to Full-Width-no-sidebar Option. Then changed to the Twenty Ten (bbPress) plugin theme which made it Full width, but my Avatar is placed right at the Top Left hand of my page which is odd, and my Widgets are on the page also, which shouldn’t be there if I have set the page to full width. also the Widgets are @ the bottom of my page but scatterd all over my Forum ughhh. I have read through all of the Forums regarding this matter (Topic) Tried for myself but still does not look right. Please can ANYONE be so kind to help me on this matter PLEASE. Cant sit for another 4days trying to figure this out very frustrating really, and a Shame as I really like this bbPress its the only theme that looks nice on my site. Now if I can only get it to work! I have tried absolutly everything before coming to the forum unless absolutly ness.
any step by step code help as I am not that savvy with all codes as of yet but know alittle.

[ironman]

Dear netweb Thank you for your information. I came up with how to make favorites page but I will still wait for the sharing of the codes as my clients are asking for more and more customization of the bbpress forum as they uses the forum daily bases.
thanks again for your information.

[Jared Atchison]

I’m not 100% sure this is exactly what you were wanting to do, but I figured I’d post this for anyone else for finds this thread.

I released a plugin that basically hides bbPress from all users who are not logged in.

For example, if your forum is at YourDomain.com/forums and a vistor tries to go there who is not logged in, they will be redirected to a URL of your choice (defined in the settings). Also this plugin disables all bbPress RSS feeds and most shortcodes.

[wolfie-79]

What would those shortcodes be Jare Datch? I’m to interesting on making sure they never see the backend.

[Jared Atchison]

There is no way to simply just stick the entire forum in a specific page.

You can use the bbPress shortcodes (https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/) to create a page that houses a forum index, but that doesn’t stick everything in that page.

Even if you restrict a page that you create with a shortcode, bbPress generates all its own pages such as the forum/topic/reply index pages, user pages, etc.

You can certainly restrict the forum to certain memberships, but it’s going to require some custom code and a little elbow grease. It’s not something that you will be able to do by just marking a checkbox in the WishList settings.

[RobMackay]

The shortcodes work fine.

Just so people know – I have forms set up I am trying to post in a form that I have set up. I have the “new topic” box but when I submit the new topic it takes me to a blank page. Everything else is in the OP

More help needed please 🙂

[Ommy]

no one use this codes for buddypress? it is big issue for most people to have seperate blockss. help help 😀

[goddess_dix]

I would be interested in trying this out, after many hours of trying to make Tango extended Smilies and bbpress play nice. I cannot get Tango to convert the smilie codes to the smilies and my users are accustomed to using the codes from the blog side.

[Ajay Sharma]

firstly you must select one base forum to create topic, and if still not then there must be problem in integration bbpress check the short codes here https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ create new post or page then per page separtely put required short code . and preview them they must work.
best of luck.

[mb21]

Yes it should display the forum index, but it’s just text with no links. I used shortcodes to create the page and named it Forum (forum.html). Any idea why the forum pages wouldn’t work?

[mostafaqanbari]

i installed bbpress inside buddypress and i created a menu for my system(i’m creating a forum like a vanilla forum[exactly like that! even better!]). but i have to change some features of my menu in different pages. in a simple not recommended way i can have my menu codes in every single page. but i can have it in a more modular way! in this case i can have a function who checks which page i’m in so call the particular menu for current active page. i mean sth like this:

if (active page is profile page) 
     codes for profile page menu 
else if (active page is topics page) 
     codes for topics page menu

Nope:( I couldnt make it work…
i copied codes but couldnt, need some toturial. i am new 🙁

[youngtopublishing]

Can you explain how you actually insert those login/register/lost passcode shortcodes? I’m trying to create a URI as well but I don’t know how to make my pages have those things.

[Pippin Williamson]

Unless you place one of the forum short codes on a page, there is no page assigned to bbPress templates.

[Pippin Williamson]

OK first read about short codes here.

Basically a short code is a place holder for content (html, images, posts, etc). When you place [bbp-forum-index] into the content of a page, it will be replaced automatically with an index of your forums in bbPress. Try it out and you’ll see what I mean.

[Pippin Williamson]

Are you familiar with what short codes do and how to use them?

[Pippin Williamson]

There’s a lack of documentation at the moment because the site is being redone (slowly) and the individuals responsible for the majority of the documentation are also the main developers, who are busy writing code 😀

The location of the forums on your site depend on the settings you have set in Settings > Forums. Take a look at the documentation for basic settings.

You can also manually place the forums index on any regular WordPress page by using the [bbp-forum-index] short code. Short code reference.

[interlinkusa1]

I am facing the same issue. Did you guys try to contact Optimize Press support?

[dosch]

any news on poll options for bbPress? My members are grumbling 😉
Also doodle-like polling would be an excellent feat to see in bbPress or BuddyPress.
