Dears,

Is it possible to show the the latest topic title in a sub forum on the frontpage? See image below for example:

http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/2676/schermafbeelding2011101v.png

This is normally with every forum software and i can’t get this to work.

If been looking for this a couple of weeks now on this forum and Google but with no results.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks in advance!

Bump & Update

I’ve looked into the possibility a plugin is causing this, disabled one by one, testing after each is disabled, no change.

I’ve also tested removing all custom functions with no change.

I would really appreciate some help with this, it has really been annoying me, I can’t figure it out.

Thanks.

A new host! That seems like a rediculous constraint.

BTW, with bbPress 2.0 plugin (site wide bbPress), it does not use a separate DB or separate tables. It uses custom WP Posts inside the WP dB.

As far as I can tell, BuddyPress does not use bbPress 2.0 plugin for group forums, instead, it uses an internal version of bbPress 1.x. It also uses separate dB tables.

If you are using bp 1.5 with group forums, you should have a set of db tables with the prefix that includes bb_. You should also have a file called bb-config.php

The file bb-config.php has settings for the bbPress (1.x) database name, user, and password, and table prefix. I’ve not tested this but conceivably you could create a separate db for your bbpress tables and modify the config file accordingly.

It does not appear that the buddypress tables themselves are so easily separable.

I would strongly recommend that you not try separating the databases until you have successfully done it in a test environment. Also, as always, do a site and dB backup before you do anything just in case.

Travis,

Thank you for responding to my earlier question eventhough it’s a mute point now since I am beta testing another forum plugin.

Our team needs a simple forum that can be plugged right into a full-width page. The template we are using was built with that in mind.

The only problem we found with BBPress was it’s lack of one shortcode for the entire plugin. Why implement short-codes for bits and pieces of a software package and not the whole?

We implemented BBPress into a full-width page. Looked good until we clicked on any link inside the forum. When it was redrawn, it would leave the full-width page and revert back to a normal width page with sidebar widgets being displayed.

Modifying our template to fit a plugin is out of the question. Our template works with every other plugin we have installed and should not have to be modified to make a plug-in work. The plugin should work, regardless. If we start modifying a template everytime we load a plugin, we would be in trouble.

In other words, you need a short-code for the entire forum, not section.

We are currently beta-testing simplepress which uses one shortcode for the entire plugin.

BBPress has a lot of potential but doesn’t quite meet the requirements for a seamless forum plugin.

Hey Andrew,

I took a look at bbPress Post Toolbar but it seemed to add bbcodes either by hand or by clicking a button. With “normal” wordpress, and inside the buddypress group forums, if you just enter the url as text, with no added adornment, it just shows up as embedded video. I believe the same is true for image urls but haven’t tested recently.

Also, I’m confused. On both the WPplugin directory as well as the master501 website, it shows the latest version as being back in August, not today???

Thanks,

joe

[djoep]

OK, after a bit of testing this seems to work in my site-wide bbPress 2.0 forum but it does not seem to work in the bbPress froums embedded in budddyPress 1.5 groups.

to get the groups to show the editor I tried several different element identifiers including #topic_text which is the ID for the text entry area for new posts… no joy!

Any ideas as to what could be causing the difference in behavior would be greatly appreciated!!!

Joe thank you so much for your info pasted above to help assist people. I just want to let everyone know I have a new version 1.2 coming out probably tomorrow which will speed up everything IF your mysql account for WP has access to add tables. It will also fix issues with non UTF8 WP tables. Also fixes cleaning to be faster.

Now onto smf my advise is to look at invision and other examples in the convert folder that showing the tags grab which uses the join tables code.

If you give me the two names OR dump me a database for SMF I can do the convert file or tell you what to put within minutes. These convert files I can create within 30min. It is the testing that is more time consuming. Once I release the next update I will start creating more convert files. Sorry again for the delays. I am ALWAYS available on skype and other messengers for immediate help.

[djoep]

I believe I may have found a solution to this problem… Woot!

1) install the wordpress plugin CLEditor

2) on line 25 of cle_wp.php change the line to read:

$(“#new-post textarea”).cleditor();

3) test, test, test, test, test.

this seems to be working on my test server but I’ve only given it a few minutes trial. I’ve tried it using bbpress standalone alongside buddypress, not in one of the group forums (yet).

mjpg, thanks for writing up the ticket and for the plugin info. i added “read_hidden_forums” only to forum participant capabilities and now a test user forum participant can see a hidden forum in the forum index, but still can’t read it.

andre, thanks for the info. that makes sense to me wrt to user roles, groups and forums. guess you are right: need jjj to say whether bug or feature and if feature, how to properly configure and use.

I’ve figured out how to change the bread crumb separator:

<br /><br />
// Change bbPress bread crumb separator.

function filter_bbPress_breadcrumb_separator() {
//$sep = ' » ';
$sep = is_rtl() ? __( ' « ', 'bbpress' ) : __( ' » ', 'bbpress' );
return $sep;
}

add_filter('bbp_breadcrumb_separator', 'filter_bbPress_breadcrumb_separator');

I have not yet figured out how to add “You are here: ” at the start of the bread crumbs:

I’ve tried this…

<br /><br />
function my_breadcrumb_trail_args( $trail ) {<br /><br />
$args = '<div class="bbp-breadcrumb"><p>You are here: ';<br /><br />
return $args;<br /><br />
};<br /><br />
add_filter( 'breadcrumb_trail_args', 'my_breadcrumb_trail_args' );<br /><br />

…and this…

<br /><br />
function test($defaults) {<br /><br />
$defaults = array(<br /><br />
'before' => '<div class="bbp-breadcrumb"><p>You are here: ',<br /><br />
);<br /><br />
return $defaults;<br /><br />
}<br /><br />
add_filter('bbp_breadcrumb','test_args');<br /><br />

Neither work.

For now I’ve taken the hacky approach and just edited my bbPress files directly. You can see it in action here: http://www.directsponsor.org/forums/

Any assistance with the filter would be greatly appreciated.

[WORK-AROUND]

I used the WP plugin ‘User Role Editor’ (WP not bbp plugin)

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/

to add some capabilities to the ‘forum participant’ role.

These seem to be the extra capabilities required:

[v] read_hidden_forums

[v] read_private_forums

[v] read_private_replies

[v] read_private_topics

If set up without the ‘read_hidden_forums’ capability, forums are visible, but not topics. I don’t know if this is real or because I have been switching the hidden/private setting for the forum during testing.

I have done some basic testing and access/posting/replies/create topic/uploads/subscribe all seem to work OK.

I guess this could be done simply via some code in functions.php, but I don’t have the time to investigate.

[dominornovus]

I’ve found a list of hooks and filters for bbPress at:

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-core-hooks.php

I’ve also found the bbPress bread crumb function(s) at:

/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-common-template.php

By combining code from the two, I’ve attempted adding a filter but it’s being ignored:

function test_args($args) {

$args = array(

'sep' => ' x ',

);

return $args;

}

add_filter('bbp_title','test_args');

< a class=”bbp-forum-title” href=”<?php bbp_topic_permalink(); ?>” title=”<?php bbp_topic_title(); ?>”><?php bbp_topic_title(); ?><?php if ( $show_date == ‘on’ ) _e( ‘af <strongBrugernavn/strong> for ‘ . bbp_get_topic_last_active_time() . ‘ siden

[Rivaldo07]

Hi,

I’m not very good at this, but I somehow managed to create a decent forum (mainly thanks to a super plugin!).

But there is just one thing I can’t figure out: How can I show the latest author from a topic on the front page?

Right now it looks like this:

” title=”<?php bbp_topic_title(); ?>”><?php bbp_topic_title(); ?>
<?php if ( $show_date == ‘on’ ) _e( ‘af Brugernavn for ‘ . bbp_get_topic_last_active_time() . ‘ siden

‘ ); ?>

I want the author of the lastest post instead of “Brugernavn” – but how?

[mjpg]

Andre – many thanks for your reply. I had checked that but I tested it again as follows:

Forum = Visibility: Hidden

User = Forum Participant

Result = Oh bother! No forums were found here!

Forum = Visibility: Hidden

User = Forum Moderator

Result = Forums and topics show OK

Forum = Visibility: Private

User = Forum Participant

Result = Oh bother! No forums were found here!

Forum = Visibility: Private

User = Forum Moderator

Result = Forums and topics show OK

I also tried posting a topic as the user, but even that does not show.

SDo no luck

WordPress 3.2.1; bbPress 2.0; GD bbPress Attachments 1.2.1

I have installed bbPress OK and have a single forum with a few topics/replies as a test.

The forum is for members only and so I set it to ‘private’ in Forum attributes > visibility.

I then created a member ‘Fred Smith’ and set them as a ‘Forum Participant’ but when I log in as them, I get an error “Oh bother! No forums were found here!”.

If I set them to ‘Forum Moderator’ they can see the forum and topics, but then they also have moderator privilages displayed, which is not wanted.

Is this a bug, or am I not understanding ‘private’ correctly?

Thanks for any help.

Version 0.1 of my plugin is now available for download on wordpress.org. Find it here if you want to help test it: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-bbcode/

[Steveorevo]

Greetings Everyone, please take a moment to check out my latest post and available download: Twenty Eleven child theme for bbPress 2.0.

How can I output the topics loop ordered by # of replies? I know I can grab them via wp_query, but I’m not sure how to also grab voices, latest poster avatar, etc. (to mimic the default topic loop).

Any ideas? Thank you!

[ThemeFUist]

Oops, last function (A bit too much cut and pasting):

function tfuey_bbp_user_can_view_forum() {

$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();

if (tfuey_bbp_is_premium_forum($forum_id)) {

if (is_user_logged_in()) {

if (current_user_can(‘administrator’) || current_user_can(‘bbp_moderator’) || current_user_can(‘whatever’)) {

return true;

} else {

bbp_get_template_part(‘bbpress/feedback’, ‘no-access’);

return false;

} //End if

} else {

bbp_get_template_part(‘bbpress/feedback’, ‘no-access’);

return false;

} //End if

} else {

return true;

} //End if

} //End function

**EDIT: I changed this a bit more. The bbp_get_template_part lines aren’t needed on my theme but are when using twenty ten for some reason (or when I tested at least). If you get two messages saying you don’t have access just remove them i’m not going to figure out why this happened.

I would like it so that visitors see the latest post from 2 of my forums on the default page. Is there some code to allow me to do this?

[spigi]

OK, in one things I probably make mistake I try to install bbP 1.0 theme using 2.0 version. bbP 2.0 use WordPress theme, am I right? (sorry for my stupid question but I’m just started with bbPress.)

I install Frisco theme (one of this: https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/)

And I still can’t see “add Topic” button. I try everything, every official theme and nothing

What should I do to have “Add topic” button? Exactly like on this forum

PS. I don’t know why but I’m still have this notice:

“Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.”

I use Frisco theme, bbPress 2.0, buddyPress 1.5 and WP 3.2.1:

How about using a metabox on your edit forum page to specifiy if the forum is premium:

Add this to your forum functions.php and edit the current_user_can bit at the bottom.

add_action('bbp_forum_metabox', 'tfuey_bbp_support_forum_metabox');

add_action('bbp_forum_attributes_metabox_save', 'tfuey_bbp_support_forum_metabox_save');

add_filter ('bbp_user_can_view_forum', 'tfuey_bbp_user_can_view_forum', 1);

function tfuey_bbp_support_forum_metabox($forum_id) {

if (tfuey_bbp_is_premium_forum($forum_id)) {

$premium_checked = ‘checked’;

} else {

$premium_checked = ”;

} //End if

echo ‘<hr />

<p>

Premium Forum:

<input type=”checkbox” name=”tfuey_bbp_premium_forum” value=”1″ ‘.$premium_checked.’ />

</p>’;

} //End function

function tfuey_bbp_support_forum_metabox_save($forum_id) {

if (isset($_POST) && $_POST != ”) {

update_post_meta($forum_id, ‘_tfuey_bbp_premium_forum’, $_POST);

} else {

update_post_meta($forum_id, ‘_tfuey_bbp_premium_forum’, ”);

} //End if

} //End function

function tfuey_bbp_is_premium_forum($forum_id) {

$tfuey_premium_forum = get_post_meta($forum_id, ‘_tfuey_bbp_premium_forum’, true);

if ($tfuey_premium_forum == 1) {

return true;

} else {

return false;

} //End if

} //End function

function tfuey_bbp_user_can_view_forum() {

$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();

if (tfuey_bbp_is_premium_forum($forum_id)) {

if (current_user_can(‘administrator’) || current_user_can(‘bbp_moderator’) || current_user_can(‘whatever_you_want’)) {

return true;

} else {

return false;

} //End if

} //End if

} //End function

Leave the forum public and if the premium forum metabox is ticked and the user doesn’t meet the required criteria they will get a “You do not have permission to view this forum” message.

PS. Untested outside my own site plugin and unnecessary bits have been removed but you should get the gist.

PPS. Code doesn’t paste too well here apologies if it looks all over the place.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve released my Search bbPress 2.0, a unified search plugin. It has the following features:

* Unified search extends WordPress native search to bbPress 2.0 content

* Corrected hyperlink search results to the actual forum/topic/reply so that users can participate in the forum right away.

* Fixes bbPress login widget typo for all languages (the Log in button)

I’ve had this on my site for a while for testing (it is working great!) but have just submitted it to the WordPress.org repository. Hopefully if will appear soon. I also submitted a bug report to bbPress trac about the typo and how I performed search a while back (but a little too late for 2.0 release), so hopefully these items will be corrected / become native in future releases! Rather then wait for the repository, feel free to download it from my new site (free):

http://serverpress.com/products/search-bbpress/

If you like it, please let others know and/or tweet about it! My site is brand new, so any traffic would be greatly appreciated. Donations would be to just take a moment to review my other wares.

Thanks!

I have tested several forums with WordPress. Both as separate program and as integrated program/plugin. Every forum we tested had major issues that would prevent being used on our site.

We have installed bbpress plugin and found it very flexible with the exception of being able to hide the sidebars.

Why can’t the whole forum be put into a short-code so it can be applied inside a full-width page?

This forum is full of questions and requests for ppPress to be imbedded via short-code right into a full-width page. Why is it so hard to accomplish this. Afterall, ppPress is written by the same people that created wordpress.

This is very frustrating.
