Just tested bbPress 2.0-rc-5 on WordPress 3.2.1. I assume this feature is to send emails to user that have subscribed or checked the “Notify me…” checkbox in a forum topic? I’ll try running a trace.

On another note: GREAT JOB bbPress!!! I’m liking the cleaner integration, and simple plugin installation of bbPress inside WordPress. WordPress is very refined and launching/integrating (read: seamless login/logout) with WP is fantastic. Thanks for working on this project!

Hello,

I am looking for a way to display in my sidebar the latest replies, not just the avatar and name of the topic like the widget, but the avatar, the user name and a link to his profile, the link and name of the topic and particularly an extract of his reply.

I really do not see how i can do this, could you help me?

A link to a tutorial, or other would be perfect

Thank you in advance.

Not sure where this should be posted, here or on buddypress.

I currently have buddypress 1.5-beta-3 and bbpress 2.0-rc-5 running on my test site and I would like to hide the topics and reply count via the functions.php.

I am also using a custom child theme so that any modifications will not be overridden after updating. The only thing I have in my custom child theme is a blank style.css. I tried entering some styling into the blank stylesheet but nothing is displayed, it’s as though it is ignoring my stylesheet and retaining the default especially the next gallery css but this is another issue. Whenever I add a functions.php with something in this, the site falls over.

Anyway, what coding would I add into the custom child theme functions file? I know that if I copy all of the bbp_list_forums(), I will get an error to say it cannot be redeclare. By the way, the custom child theme is located in my themes folder.

Any help would be most appreciated.

I have an install of WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.2.10. I am trying to install bbPress 2.0 rc5. The install goes well and I can successfully link it to BP but then when I go and view the site it is just a blank page.

This is a clean install with only one user as we are testing proof of concept for migrating our sites to WP/BP and the bbpress or WP/phpBB using the WP/phpBB Bridge.

I have over 10 years of web development experience but I am new to WP products.

What are the steps to set up bbpress and buddypress on the same site like the testbp.org? is it as simple as activating the bbpress plugin? can I integrate bbpress into the existing buddypress theme? via the steps posted in the sticky under step 3 bullet 2?

[Adam]

Sorry for the bumping, i can no longer edit my previous post. you should really set the time to like 9999 or something to allow for infinite editing.

Any ways:

The following: http://blackandwhite.web44.net/labs/topic/this-is-a-test-post/

if my site (I activated it so you can take a look and maybe poke around the css…Or at least get a better understanding of what I am talking about)

So how did I get here?

I followed:https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility step number 3 bullet 2. To a “T” what did you change? Nothing, well thats a lie, I removed side bar and the h1 title tag for the forum or topic you are in.

I then boiled it down to a theme issue. Something in my current theme is prevening the b tag, paragraphs and the blockquote tag from working.

Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Jeez, I didn’t know that was ready! That sounds awesome! So does the importer use the old ‘group’ names as forums or just import all of the posts in one forum?

Sorry to ask so many questions, I’m totally new to the standalone version.

[Gautam Gupta]

There is an importer that is bundled with bbPress plugin itself. Just navigate to Tools -> Importer -> bbPress Standalone and enter the path to the BuddyPress bbPress install (should get detected automatically) and you’d be good to go (backup must).

[rossagrant]

Ahh wow, cool, that looks great! I don’t have BB Press installed on my live site yet but will set up a test and have a look.

It would be awesome to place shortcodes on pages for stuff like this. Where you could perhaps show x number of latest topics etc.

Is there any news on an exporter by the way, to export old Buddypress groups/ forums into the new BB Press plugin.

I want to get rid of groups and just have some forums like on test-bp.org.

The group names would effectively become the main forum names and then the topics would appear in each forum.

Is that on the cards?

Thanks again!

[Gautam Gupta]

You can use this code (untested, but should work if bbPress is being loaded on that page):

if ( bbp_has_topics( array( 'author' => 0, 'show_stickies' => false, 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_parent' => 'any', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ) )

bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/loop', 'topics' );

@JJJ: I think we could allow such attributes in [bbp-topic-index] shortcode too?

[miruru]

I’m also looking for something like as it will be very useful. I’m not much of a coder so wouldn’t know where to start. This will be great as a plugin though.

JJJ > My site is only a test site, how would I turn the shortcodes on? I only want to see what it would look like. It’ll be a while before my site goes live. If you don’t want to post this on the forum, then i’ll understand.

[rossagrant]

Hi guys!

I really can’t wait to start working with BP 1.5 and BB Press 2.0!

I’m just going through a homepage redesign in preparation for upgrading.

I was wondering, if I wanted to give users a sneak peak at what was going on in the site forums, could I somehow add say the latest 5 topics to the homepage in the same kind of layout that you would see in the forum directory?

Is there a shortcode for adding anything like that to a page?

Would be awesome if possible!

Thanks!

[Adam]

I just posted there at: http://testbp.org/discussion/topic/testing-9/#post-2780 and everything works.

So We can officially say that the plugins I am using are causing the edit, delete, mod keys to not work. How ever on local host all I have is the bbpress installation going. I integrated it with my theme following your steps in your sticky. So I can’t tell if its a theme issue or not. How ever could a theme cause the whole paragraph thing and html tags to epically fail?

so can we explain why the paragraph and html tags dont work?

[John James Jacoby]

testbp.org is a standalone installation not connected to anything. We use it to test BuddyPress, WordPress, and bbPress together in a typical hosting environment.

[Adam]

thats what I have as well. Is “post any html” lets test this jazz.

My login information which works here does not work there…..>_> I thought this login stuff was global across buddypress, wordpress (which it doesnt work there either) and here?

[John James Jacoby]

None. Can you try posting something over at testbp.org with the HTML you are using? If you make a topic, I will post to it to, and we can test it together on a vanilla installation.

I can confirm that as an admin, I am able to post any HTML I want to as expected.

[Adam]

Hmm lets see:

– we can rule out theme (for all but this paragraph and code issue, code being what tags can be used in the forum). I never though to check plugin in relation to the moderation buttons. I fear it may be the buddypress moderation plugin. tests will be done >_> (which they should have been)

-The install is on a multi site activated on one site instead of a network activate.

Where are the html tags located in the .php files that i can add or remove tags to? these tags don’t work on local host or live….unfortently. except for em….

also paragraph formatting doesn’t work on localhost or live.

Localhost has two plugins but only one is activated, bbpress. the other is buddypress 1.5 rc1 and its deactivated.

any other ideas or suggestions?

[Adam]

I am wondering how to allow users to login in and use the forums. easy enough you would think. But I have never tested or had a site where users had to sign up. my other site (multisite so I have three) uses buddy press and thats all fine and dandy. as they sign up, and they are returned to buddy press. Will users signing up for my site be returned to the home page? will they have admin pannel (post new posts, edit themes, install plugins) rights? if so How do i remove that?

I am very cautious about this how ever I want to allow users to use the forums, hence why I am creating them…

my second issue is that when I am logged in, as the site admin, and I go to a forum and a test topic and hit any of the “admin” buttons for moderating a forum I get the following issues:

edit: refreshes the page

close: refreshes the page

Stick (to front): refreshes the page

merge, trash and spam: refreshes the page.

on local host these all work.

I am using multi site on the live site and I have this plugin activated for one of my three sites. on local host I am NOT using multi site.

Also, How will bbpress plugins work for bbpress 2.0? the same as before? or will we install them as regular plugins and just activate them?

[Adam]

I am wondering if someone can tell me why the reply to this test topic I made in a forum is all scrunched up. any reply made to any topic in any forum is all scrunched up while the initial post is well formed.

Site: http://blackandwhite.web44.net/labs/forums/topic/test2/

[Adam]

I have a single install of bbpress, no other plugins and i am using a theme in which I placed: add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); in the functions.php file. When creating a forum and testing it out I am taken toa page where I get a 404 error….

this theme is a wordpress theme. I managed to get it to work….No not really. the forums do not seem to work properly with ordinary wordpress themes. is there no smooth integration between the two?

[Jared Atchison]

Alright, marking this as done.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1622

Latest round of commits fixes everything, including pagination. Enjoy Genesis goodness.

//edit: i cant spell >_<

[Jared Atchison]

Patch update. Still needs testers

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1622

[kevinvaughn]

thanks JJJ… with this info I have continued to test and found that it is in fact working correctly

[Adam]

So I have bbpress 2.0 rc4 installed.

I also have buddy press 1.5 (the latest build from trac) installed.

How do I keep the discussion forums enabled in buddypress and use the forums of bbpress like how you guys have the sample site set up?

What are the steps?

[Jared Atchison]

Glad you got it figured out

For anyone who stumbles on this topic: the plugin linked to above has been tested with Genesis 1.7.1, WP 3.2.X, bbP RC 4, and *several* Genesis themes – so far I have found zero issues.

The patch still needs more testing and tweaks, however. That’s next.
