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?

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.

[PureRover]

I have installed bbPress plugin. The forum itself is wonderful. I am having a rough time displaying it properly on my site. Using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index], I have setup a page with a full-page attribute. The page is full-width but the forum is not.

http://purerover.com/test/

I am assuming the forum’s widgets are taking up the space right of the forum. I don’t need them and rather the forum took up 100% of the available space.

I see there are additional templates for bbPress. Does this hold true for the plugin version? If so, how can additional templates be selected since this is not an option in the bbPress settings.

I am not a programmer but can following directions. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

A member reported they couldn’t edit their post in a thread. I tested it (as administrator) and this is what came up:

Nope, im not using buddypress.

All the Forum settings are default, i didnt change anything after instalation.

I tried to access the forum via the original link http://www.8ball.lu/wordpress/?p=3448. But that links changes the line in the address bar to the nice address http://www.8ball.lu/wordpress/forums/forum/one-new-test-forum and it still gives 404 error.

regarding the other plugins, true i have 26 plugins active, which i all use.

Are there any known conflicts with other plugins? Just to know before i will make a clean install.

Thank you

[nuobodu]

I’m using numeric permalink structure.

Well, i installed my test environment into that subdirectory. But the links see to be created nicely and logically:

to the forum

http://www.8ball.lu/wordpress/forums/forum/second-new-test-forum

to the topic

http://www.8ball.lu/wordpress/forums/topic/testing-topic-2

even if i add a trailing slash at the end of a link, it doesnt work anyway.

I am completely lost here. I have read every post in this forum about the similar problems, but never saw an insuring answer

[binarymoon]

I would be happy to give you access to my test setup if you want to see it for yourself?

You can email me here if you’re interested – http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/contact/

Hello,

I know why, I dont know if its a feature or a bug , but..

you only get notification from a registered users. So when user is registered and opens the forum and replies you will get notification, but if the user comes to site and uses only simple form without registration and even if I tick “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” I will not get any notification. I think its not right.

I might be wrong but its my testing and observation. correct me if I am wrong.

thanx

[noelb888]

In a production site, I have akismet disabled. Notifications on that one didn’t work. So I thought it could be related to akisment so in another separate site, I have akismet enabled. That didn’t work either.

However, the common thing on both setup is that it was first a release candidate and then I’ve upgraded it to v2.0

In the test setup, I had these plugins installed

akismet

bbpress,

sharecount for facebook

SI Captch Anti spam

tweetmeme retweed button

wp-spamfree

Tested this on 3 different installs and cannot duplicate. Something else must be conflicting somewhere.

[selise]

bbpress 2.0 was working pretty well until i installed buddypress 1.5 (test site) and now, instead of the old bbpress profiles (w favorites!), there is the buddypress profile, which is nice, except… the problem i’m having is that as far as i can tell the forum (bbpress 2.0) topic favorites are not showing up in the buddypress profile under favorites or anywhere else that i can see.

i’ve googled around and found other mentions of conflicting profile issues, but so far no definitive answers as to how bbpress and buddypress profiles are supposed to work together.

maybe i’m missing something? i haven’t tried using buddypress before. are the user bbpress 2.0 forum topic favorites available in buddypress somewhere and i’m just not seeing them?

or do the bbpress 2.0. forum topic favorites go missing when buddypress is installed? if that the case, is there a work around?

Hello all,

I am trying to setup bbpress on my test site. I want to replace Simple forum.

I followed BJ’s walkthrough and got it showing on the “forums” page.

From admin interface i created couple of forums, and couple of topics.

I can see the forums on http://www.8ball.lu/wordpress/forums

But when i click on any forum name i get a “page not found” error.

What am i doing wrong?

My parent theme is a custom theme created with Themeframe (im astill working on it, and currently i have only changed the menu). I did not touch yet the default templates.

Thank you.

[Stephen Edgar]

Not exactly what I planned on doing today whilst sitting in the back of a car! Though whilst browsing these forums I bumbed into this thread and have kicked it off on my iPad with a bbPress test site importing from 30,000 post PHPBB site, been running now for around 30 minutes.

I’ll add some follow ups on how the data Looks in bbPress when I have the right tools

EDIT: ~90 minutes after above

After ~60 minutes I have stopped it and had a look at the WordPress tables with myphpadmin and I cannot see any new posts in ‘wp_posts’ or ‘wp_users’

Is the ‘PhpBB_Not_Complete’ import tool active? i.e. Should I see more than nothing, nil, null as a result of trying this?

Cheers,

Stephen

I took it for a spin, and here’s my feedback thus far:

A lot of functionality should be in its own plugins.

– Move forum:

I’m surprised this isn’t in core already; I thought it was. In any case, this would make much more sense as a stand-alone plugin, as its useful for all topics, not just support topics.

– Forum Ranks:

As far as I can tell, it doesn’t tie directly in with support topics; it’s a completely separate feature. Maybe you have plans for it, but if that’s the case I still think you should just have two plugins communicate, as this is something many support forums won’t need. I personally dislike forum ranks. I consider it unwarranted labeling. On the jMonkeyEngine forum we frequently see first time posters with 10+ years of Java experience, which is the type of experience that holds weight in our community, not # of forum posts.

– Please separate your settings from bbPress’ options page. Your plugin offers so many options (which by itself is great) that it ends up bloating the options page.

– I think the default setting should reflect the one in this screenshot:

https://s.w.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-vip-support-plugin/screenshot-3.png?r=448946

That part slipped by me in the settings screen, and when I tested the plugin I was puzzled by how I couldn’t change my test support topic to “resolved”.

– What about a widget for the resolved/not resolved drop-down? (Same goes for Assign topic, and possibly some others I haven’t noticed yet). This would make it easier to fit it in with custom themes. This also means admin should have the option to turn off the in-built drop-down.

Oh and as recommended, add the bbpress tag to your plugin. It’s the default bbPress plugin tag, and currently the most convenient way of keeping up with the latest bbPress 2 plugins.

[binarymoon]

I disabled WP_DEBUG in wp-config.php and resaved and the errors went away. Still, I always develop with WP_DEBUG enabled so it would be good if I could test things without getting errors.

If you look at a topic thread on my site (http://willowbilliards.com/forum/topic/test-topic-3/) you’ll notice that there’s no avatars showing.

I figured out that the place where the code should exist is in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/bbpress/loop-single-reply.php so I stuck a message that says “avatar should go here”. Here’s the code from that page: http://pastebin.com/dMLeD6LV

But what do I need to put there so the avatar actually shows? Please advise. Thanks in advance!

[Ed]

AW, as i’ve jumped from punbb>phpbb2>phpbb3>bbpress1>bbpress2, I don’t think it’s worth sharing my setup – just too many variables to account for.

However, look forward to testing a punbb or phpbb version for you.

[patrickallmond]

I have installed bbpress 2.0 at allaboutfocus.com on the Genesis Framework. Before I knew that shortcodes existed I create a single free forum with some test posts. You can see that here: http://allaboutfocus.com/forums/forum/free-forums/#

Now I’ve discovered shortcodes. I created a new empty page called /mojo-forums. I edit that page and add a couple of simple shortcodes. When I save the new page I am instantly directed back to edit session for page http://allaboutfocus.com/forums/forum/free-forums/ . This is bizarre. That is not the page I was editing. Keep in mind this is all happening in the admin area. When I click on view to view the page /mojo-forums it shows me page /forums which has no edit options.

Also – when I post a new test post it is showing the freshest post as 4 hours ago. But when you drill down to the post it has the correct time that I saved the post.

Help.

Thanks,

Patrick

[Erlend]

Yeeah, exactly what we needed! Yet another definitive nail in BuddyPress’ legacy forum’s coffin. Can’t wait to make the conversion now. Will start testing this and give you some feedback first chance I get.

[bobbyh44]

Hi Again,

Ahh thanks tgiokdi, getting closer to knowing how to get this working.

So you install it.

Then you make a wordpress page.

Then you add a shortcode tag to that page.

I’m guessing you add it into the HTML view of the page or a post and it would look something like:

[bbpress(testforum)]

Where the name of the forum is ‘testforum’.

I haven’t tried this but maybe its a step in the right direction. Can anyone tell me what the tag looks like to get the forum to show up… or is it a secret

[AWJunkies]

Well for starters what do you have the process rows at?

Also can you provide server details and your current limits. It may be easier to do that as I have test environment that I can mirror yours and test. It would go a lot faster that way. So php limits and mysql limits and server details. Also site stats and platform.
