Thank you for your responses but I haven´t been able to fix the problem yet.

Unfortunatelly the embeeding is not working even using just the image or video url. It is only showing hyperlinks to the URLs.

As suggested by the codex embeds page I used the [embed]…[/embed] shortcodes with the same results.

By the way, I have wordpress “Auto-embeds” and bbpress “Auto-embed Links” checked

Any other idea on how to fix this problem?

As an admin on your site, you have the ability to post unfiltered HTML. There should be a warning above the post box that says this.

Regular user’s HTML is filtered to prevent malicious code from peeking through, and it’s possible images and/or specific attributes aren’t allowed on your installation, and they are getting filtered out.

[Stephen Edgar]

Add the [bbp-topic-index] shortcode to your page.

Embed Media means you don’t have to copy all of that HTML to post an image. It should be enough to just paste the link the the relevant image or video. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds.

Hello,

My users are not able to publish photographs in the forum by embeeding their flickr html code into new threads ( it looks like bbpress deletes the html code ). Example of the code :

<a href=”http://www.flickr.com/photos/josue_arzate/7982828578/&#8221; title=”Milpa Alta por Josué Arzate Ontiveros, en Flickr”><img src=”http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8036/7982828578_9b9bd93c21.jpg&#8221; width=”500″ height=”332″ alt=”Milpa Alta”></a>

I have “Embed media (YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, etc…) directly into topics and replies.” checked.

The code embeeds perfectly when I do it (administrator) but is not working with my users.

Does anyone knows how can I fix this?

Thank you for your help,
Luciano

wp 3.4.2
bbpress 2.1.2
buddypress 1.6.1

WordPress version – 3.4.2
bbPress version – 2.1.3
Website – kidbusinessowners.wordpress.com/

Alright I am, well, almost completely clueless on how all of this stuff works. I downloaded the WordPress today and the bbPress. My main reason for trying WordPress is because I want to have a forum. I don’t understand, I’ve created a user with both WordPress.com and WordPress.org and I can make my blog with the .com but I downloaded the stuff on the .org. How do I link up the download with my website? Does it require an extensive knowledge of scripting codes (which, as you can tell, I’m not extremely good at)? Thank you!

[Gary3000]

You can add it to the page via bbPress shortcodes.

[Stephen Edgar]

I had been down this path before and now have a patch and the key to it indeed was as you mentioned the before_link and after_link.

The patch is here with example code that should help you out rather that that ^^^ up there 😉

[Stephen Edgar]

I’m not sure why it is doing that, have you modified or using custom bbPress templates with your theme?

What about using the bbPress shortcodes for Login/Register? https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes

[Shmoo]

Create a new page and use the [ shortcodes ]

The code is a bit messy.

Alright guys i’ve got a solution,

Please note, i have ZERO PHP skills so this probably isn’t the best solution on earth but i think it’s a good work-around to get the job done ‘easy’..

If some PHP developer reads this topic and thinks, damn this guy is going crazy with all his copy-/pasting stuff please feel free to modify this code..

What did i do:
First i opened up the Core template file of bbPress where the Breadcrumbs function is made.
I have copied the code and pasted inside a new PHP document, made some simple HTML changes before and after the urls and called this new template file inside my Theme’s functions.php

Last i called my custom Breadcrumb PHP code just to make sure my code is loaded and not the default bbPress code..

Here you go.
When your done it should look like this structure..
http://i46.tinypic.com/33z93lg.png

Nothing too fancy but the only difference, it’s made by a HTML List , like it should be in 2012 because a Breadcrumbs is a navigation and not just 5 URLs behind each other.
http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/components.html#breadcrumbs

Step 1:
Paste all this code into a new empty PHP document and call it breadcrumbs.php
When your done drop this file into your Themes include folder.
wp-content / themes / [ your-theme-name ] / inc / * here *
http://pastebin.com/bWdPEXa5

Step 2:
Open your theme functions.php file and add this code to it.
http://pastebin.com/nJ9pZinq

Step 3:
Open the bbPress or WordPress stylesheet and add those few lines of CSS to it.
http://pastebin.com/KyPuknTw

Step 4:
Inside the bbPress template files you often find this line of PHP code, it calls the default Breadcrumb function:

Change that line to this one and your done..

__( '', 'bbpress' ), ) ); ?.>

• without the dots before and after the -> .?.

Hope this helps..

What can i do to overwrite a bbPress Core function and develop my own function..

Let say i want to overwrite the default bbPress breadcrumb tag.

I found the Core code inside a Core-template and i pasted this code inside a new PHP document changed all the bbp_ names of all functions to bbp_shmoo_ > Saved it.

Loaded this new file from the inc. folder into my themes functions.php with the require_once tag..

Change the PHP code inside my forum template from bbp_breadcrumb(); to bbp_shmoo_breadcrumb(); but this doesn’t work, why does it break my theme ?

I need a before_link and after_link array.

This is what a breadcrumb looks like, by default made with a List because it’s a navigation.

I have created a forum and can register a new user and log in using the short codes. I can also go to the forum page and post new topics, etc.

http://www.davidbroad.co.uk/flac/forums/forum/forum/

My only problem is when the user is logged in and on their Dashboard page when they click ‘Topics’ or ‘Reply’ in the ‘Right Now in Forums’ box they get this message:

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page. apart from this it seems to be working, but this is obliviously going to confuse some users..

I’m using WordPress 3.4.2 and bbpress 2.1.2

Thanks,

David

Maybe the email has been catalogued as spam. It is a common problem especially if you are using a shared host or something similar. The admin can activate the user in the admin area at http://example.com/wp-admin/users.php

The activation codes are unique.

[Shmoo]

Looks like single-topic-tag ID isn’t a supported short code.

It’s [bbp-single-tag id=12] or [bbp-topic-tag id=12]

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

[Gary3000]

Just as the title says, I’m curious to know how the current main page at bbpress.org/forums/ is set up. Ideally, I’d like to have my forums main page set up in exactly the same fashion.

Am I correct in assumming that it’s done as a Page (“forums” being the slug) with the bbPress shortcode “[bbp-topic-index]” as its content?

I notice for Latest Topics it lists 28 topics, however in the bbPress Codex listing of shortcodes, it says that particular shortcode only lists 15 of the most recent topics. How does one go about configuring it to show more (or less) than the default of 15?

The other thing I’m curious about is how one gets the nicer “Forums” sidebar widget. The one on bbpress.org/forums/ is styled with a header containing “Forum” and “Topics” column headers, and then a striped list of the Forums with the associated topic counts. In the current public version of bbPress (2.1.2), the “Forums” widget only shows a straight, plain list of the Forums — no header/columns, and no topic counts. Is the widget used on bbpress.org/forums/ from the current SVN of bbPress, or was it customized specifically for bbPress?

[Stephen Edgar]

Have you looked at these two docs to help get you started?

https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/ and https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

(The thread that you linked to above is out of date as it is only relevenet to the old stand alone bbPress and not the current plugin bbPress 2.x )

You stated my exact problem which I am currently having. I am a noob. But I can usually google search my way out of any problem. (Which led me here, but with no answer) I see that the “forums base” archive slug field is used in the breadcrumb for bbPress. When I click on the link in the breadcrumb, it takes me to the archive page….not what I want my users to be able to do at all. I want them to be able to get back to a forum index from anywhere inside bbPress.

---

I setup a WP page and used the bbPress shortcodes to give me a Forum index; which is the main portal to all of the topics and posts on my site.

However, once a forum/topic is selected by a user, the bbPress *.php takes over and the pages are dynamically generated ( i guess ). How do I send people back to the forum index WP page from anywhere inside bbPress? I would prefer the breadcrumb worked or at least could be redirected to the WP page. Linking me to an archive page does NOTHING for any user, when trying to get back to an index.

Hope that was descriptive enough to workout a solution. Thank you.

http://www.sailhavasu.com/event-forum/ <- WP Page with bbPress short codes creating a forum "index"

http:www.//sailhavasu.com/bbpress/forum/hpcc-2013/ <- bbPress page where the breadcrumb "Forums" links to an archive page. Would rather it linked to an index; either a WP page or a dynamically created bbPress page with an actual index. (Note: "bbpress" is what I named the Forums base Archive Slug; another issue that appears weird to a noob.)

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.

[concon3]

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.

[mostafaqanbari]

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
