Am I missing a line of code?

I am using a theme called the ‘Stallion theme’. It is based on the old Talian theme which was popular in WP a few years back. Stallion has a lot of options that I really like, in terms of flexibility, design etc.

However, it does not work with the bbPress plugin.

It creates forums and topics fine.

However: if you look under a topic post or forum (I created some sample ones) – a viewer or user can not reply or create new topics. In fact the only thing you see is my related post plugin underneath the post.

http://peopleandlanguages.com/ is the website I am testing this out on.

It does work with 2010, but not this theme. Is there so line of code that needs to be juggled to make this work with my theme?

Thank you,

Mark

I think one of bbPress’ biggest strengths is its potential to extend upon and empower WordPress’ commenting system. Another side of this is the P2 theme used to enable real-time conversations, but that’s a different topic.

‘Distributed conversations’ should facilitate persistent on-topic discussion.

The basis of this idea has already been put to the test on the TED.com website. For an example, follow this link to the Beware online “filter bubbles” video and scroll down to see the “TED CONVERSATIONS”. That is, in essence, what I’m proposing here, along with a new idea (comment conversion).

How would this work?

A) Create conversation directly from a blog post. (TED way)

Create conversation from a blog post’s comment(s). (new way)

See mockup:

https://gomockingbird.com/mockingbird/#tcky31h/qjXSc0

A:

Every blog post should come with a “start a new topic” link. Clicking this link would start a standard ‘new post’ prompt. The only difference would be the link to the discussed blog post, which could be incorporated in a number odd ways. The easiest way I can think of would be a shortlink with blog post ID. (Although it’s outside of the initial scope, this should also be compatible with forum posts).

B:

Comments can be converted to forum threads. A conversion would:

1) Lock the thread of comments

2) Create a new forum thread with the comments.

3) Link to the new forum thread from the locked comment thread.

This option would only be available to moderators and above.

Maybe not in core, but I could see this being a super handy plugin.

RC 1 due out tonight, with lots more little audits and fixes. Thanks to everyone for testing and feedback.

Hi markaduffy, I did

find . | grep wp-admin

in the forum folder where I extracted to, but get nothing back. I’ve downloaded ‘Latest 1.0.3 – Download .tar.gz’ from the download page. I’m using the stand-alone version, I guess.

[mbiernat]

Let me start by saying I am not an advanced user. However, I would be interested in trouble shooting a theme compatability issues.

The 2010 theme works great for the bbPress plugin.

However, I have a theme which I would like to use which bbPress does not work for.

I have set up a score of forums and only the parent forum shows after resaving the permalinks. The test topics do show, but people would not have the ability to add anything like a new topic or reply.

The theme has many options and I would prefer to use it over a standard WP theme. However, I am not sure why it is not working for the bbPress Plugin.

Will bbPress have something to help convert themes or do you have any idea what is going on?

If it is too much recoding on my part I might just use the 2011 theme when it rolls out. Or think of plan b.

My site as it is now is http://peopleandlanguages.com/

Thanks and sorry in advance if this question is not the type of question you look at, rather you adress more macro issues.

You can find an old translation file here: http://dropbox.jobjorn.se/bbpress-sv_SE.zip

It will cover most of the stuff in the latest 2.0 beta. I know Torbjörn Sjögren is working with an updated version, I’ll post it here when I’ve received it from him.

[brassblogs]

Hey all –

I’m hoping I’m just missing something here, but I’m trying to create a new template (to match a WordPress theme I’m working on). I’ve created a folder within the bbp-themes folder, and added a stylesheet and one file (I’m just testing it right now to get a feel for how the theming system works): page-front-forums.php.

The thing is, when I do this, ALL of my themes in the WordPress back end (under appearance > themes), save the twenty Ten (default WP theme and the bbPress version) go away. ALL of them. Now, the current theme is still working on the front end of the site, but on the back end, there’s no themes at all – they are all gone.

So can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong here? Am I putting the bbPress theme files in the wrong place? Or is this some kind of bug?

[abdessamad idrissi]

you got lot of echos there man!.. make it simple

<td class="num">

<?php echo "<a href='" . topic_last_post_link(forum_last_topic_id()). "'>". topic_title(forum_last_topic_id())."</a>"; ?>

</td>

to limit the characters, use the substr php function -google it

[ashdavies]

Hi,

So I’m trying to display the latest topic of a forum on the home page with a link to that forum.

How do I go about limiting the output to 40 characters?

Currently I’m using this code

<td class="num"><?php echo "<a href='"; topic_last_post_link(forum_last_topic_id()); echo "'>"; topic_title(forum_last_topic_id()); echo "</a>"; ?></td>

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Ash

I’ve asked for hosting and it’s approved. I removed the zip because i need to figure out which one of my copies is the best to put into the browser.

Currently I’ve just been editing the live plugin on my Tartarus test site, and then copying to test-and-edit on a more default WP+bbP on my dumping ground.

Tartarus = http://beta.tartarus.co.nz

dumping ground = http://dump.master5o1.com/wpbb/

I would like to step a support forum using BBPress within a current “regular” site. I am not sure how to set some things up. I would like to have the following URL structure…

/support/forums/[forum name]/[topic name]

I have setup a page with the URL /support/ because I want it to be the “home page” for support (will add list of latest topics with list of forums, .etc).

On the forums setup page by “archive slugs” should I set the Forum archive slug to “support”? Will this break anything?

Also, I find that there is very little documentation around to read to find help. I know this is still in beta, but is there plans for more robust documentation?

Thanks,

Kalman

It’s a plugin for WordPress + bbpress 2.0.

It allows users to ignore other users by way of hiding their posts and topics.

It’d be great if anyone with spare time could test and give feedback

http://dump.master5o1.com/files/bbpress-ignore-user.zip

[Syniq]

OK, if you change line 189 of forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.wp-auth.php to this:

$key = wp_hash( $username . $pass_frag . ‘|’ . $expiration, $scheme );

It works.

The standard is this:

$key = call_user_func(backpress_get_option(‘hash_function_name’), $username . $pass_frag . ‘|’ . $expiration, $scheme );

Which doesn’t work. Has the algorithm changed in the latest version of WordPress?

[selise]

thank you for this plugin! i’ve installed it to test (on my very slightly modified twenty ten them) and the one problem i have is that the tool bar shows up at the top of the page and not just in the add topic/reply box.

[master5o1]

and buddyPress plugin, latest version. (bbpress forum component is disactivated,

because I dont know where to find the bb-config.php file in a bbpress plugin install ???)

./wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bb-config.php

idk about the rest of your post.

[adjin]

a Strange bug here :

I have bbpress as a plugin in WordPress ; both upadated to the most recent versions.

I also have S2Member plugin running (compatible with bbpress 2 plugin)

and buddyPress plugin, latest version. (bbpress forum component is disactivated,

because I dont know where to find the bb-config.php file in a bbpress plugin install ???)

My theme is Dynamix, (it is buddypress and bbpress compatible)

Now here is the problem :

I created all My forums and categories.

I’m happy with it, the tree is looking good, and I can navigate it !

BUT as soon as I post a New Topic, I can no longer navigate the Forums …

The URL in the browser’s adress bar is changing accordingly to my moves

BUT the only thing I can see is this topic that i posted !! …

If I clic a link back to the BLOG area of wordpress, I can see my posts correctly and navigate.

But if I clic again (or type an URL) on any of my Forums links, I am presented again with this TOPIC !!

Also … I have a link to my FAQ page (which is a normal wordpress PAGE)

and this link also brings me back to my infamous Topic (instead of displaying my FAQs) …

(although the URL is the FAQs URL …)

Now if I try to create more Topics, I will see only the first one I wrote …

And if I delete all Topics, everything is back to normal …

and I can see my Forums Navigation tree again (my FAQs as well) !

How crazy is that ?

Any Help appreciated.

Assuming you have name based permalinks on you WP+BBP or bbPress-standalone installation:

On a standalone bbPress install a user’s profile is: /profile/master5o1

E.g. https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/master5o1

For bbPress 2.0 (the WP plugin) the user profiles at default are: /forums/users/master5o1/

Also perhaps /users/master5o1/, depending on settings.

E.g. http://dump.master5o1.com/wpbb/users/admin/

/wpbb/ = install directory for my WordPress + bbPress 2.0 testing site.

Basically, clicking the “member”/”key master”/etc link on standalone bbPress or the user’s username of bbPress 2.0 appears to take you to their profile.

I’ve just made a post toolbar that works with bbPress 2.0, and extends a bit of kses in WP (adds <span style=""> and image posting support).

Link to zip: http://dump.master5o1.com/files/bbpress-post-toolbar.zip

The toolbar looks like this with the Link panel open:

http://dump.master5o1.com/files/images/toolbar.png

(the Bold button in the screenshot has the :hover css applied)

Under help, one can reach an ‘About bbPress Post Toolbar’ panel which states the version of the and that I made it (but no link).

The extending of kses to allow <span style=””> in the allowable tags is necessary for the font sizing, colouring, underlining, strike-through, and text alignment.

The options page in WP Admin has the following:

Use customised smilies?

Yes No (default)

Allow embedding of Youtube videos?

Yes (default) No

Allow text-alignment buttons?

Yes No(default)

Allow images to be posted?

Yes No(default)

Link to zip: http://dump.master5o1.com/files/bbpress-post-toolbar.zip

I have requested plugin hosting for WordPress Plugin Directory and I’m waiting for it to be approved, etc.

In the mean time, any comments and feedback from testing, etc would be help.

[John James Jacoby]

@zhonghao – What version of WordPress are you using? Sounds like you’re using 3.0.

is_post_type_archive()

was introduced in 3.1, so it should be available.

That error won’t happen as a result of a BuddyPress conflict. Matter of fact, the two plugins should play nicely together. They have been both activated and running at testbp.org for some time now, with no issues.

Hi there,

I would like to know if there is a way to import a forum into a page instead of a post? For example, there is a poll plugin for WordPress that allows you to place a poll in the page using [poll id=”3″] tags.

Is this at all possible with bbPress? I’m using the latest WordPress as well as the latest bbPress plugin.

I feel that if this feature does not already exist, it should be implemented in the next release (Please)

Regards,

[schrepel]

Installed bbPress 2.0-beta3 plugin this week, things initially seemed to work well, but now the main “Forums” page (http://www.nwcouncil.org/blog/index.php/forums/) doesn’t list any forums. However, the “bbPress Forum List” widget for twentyten theme *does* work.

I have two test forums (see http://www.nwcouncil.org/blog/index.php/forum/eric for example), so each forum and its posts work correctly, but clicking the “Forums” breadcrumb takes you to the blank page above.

I see that the page seems to include content from bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/archive-forum.php, which surprises me because I thought it would use /page-front-forums.php.

The only tweaks I’d made were to uncheck the “Incude the Forum Base slug in your single forum item links” box [also note the typo^ in that checkbox label], and I have WP permalinks set to month/year/postname.

Flummoxed, but liking the plugin in all other aspects.

I will gladly send any other details to whomever can help.

Hi

I’m a internet newbie, don´t know if its because english isn’t my primary language but what you need can be easily achieved with the example i gave before,

you want useres and admins to contact each other right? everyone that registers is a user, anonymous that don’t register dont get the PM function so its all good

am i missing something? user to admin and vice versa work “in theory”. i’m going to work now but i’ll test this tomorrow after work.

[Spiralspeaks]

I also tried it to Multisite and has the same problem… luckily the mutlisite is for testing purposes not the live Multisite for news

[Spiralspeaks]

Bug I see Topic Tag: e-commerce

Topic Tag: regras

Home › Fórums › Topic Tag: regras

Oh bother! No topics were found here!

As seen also on this forum

<code>

ricardouk.com/forums/topic-tag/regras

</code>

using latest version…

what happened???

the first version of

bbPress (Twenty Ten) 1.1 by WordPress and bbPress teams

topic tag is ok

but this one

bbPress (Twenty Ten) 1.2 by WordPress and bbPress teams not ok

Additional info:

Tried to fix it I thought taxonomy-topic-tag.php

but after edit

Topic Tag: bbPress

Forums › Topic Tag: bbPress

no topics shown for Topic Tag: bbPress

[master5o1]

Only noticed this since my test site got beta3 the other day.

http://beta.tartarus.co.nz/ is the WP, and /forum/ is a page that uses the [bbp-topic-index] and [bbp-forum-index] with default templating (ie: not Forum Index template).

I’ve got three screenshots which show the bbpress plugin settings for the slugs, the /forum/ “Recent Topics” page, the forums slug /forums/ page when you click Forums in the breadcrumb, and my work around to make it behave how I want it to behave (see the urls too).

So 1.png is the /forum/ page.

http://dump.master5o1.com/files/images/bbp/1.png

2.png is the /forums/ slug page as WP/bbp naturally does it.

http://dump.master5o1.com/files/images/bbp/2.png

3.png is done using /forums/index.php to redirect to /forum/.

http://dump.master5o1.com/files/images/bbp/3.png

If I made the /forum/ page slug be forums then it would show blank page probably because bbpress is getting in there first and showing the forum slug page which is blank -_-

I think that if bbpress returns a blank page, it should tell WP that it hasn’t found anything and for WP to continue to look for the page. But I don’t know how the plugin works much atm.
