@Patrick – Just audited the usage of bbp_get_reply_url() and bbp_get_reply_position() and made some changes. I’ll be sure to test paginated reply subscription notifications before pushing out RC1.

I’d want to move our 2000+ user forum from bbpress 0.9.3 to bbpress 2 as soon as it’s stable and tested. Will it be possible to save all the internal links as they are now (id-based)? And will the transfer of the 100k+ posts be easy at all?

How about Private Messaging plugin and other extra features which are now run by plugins?

The email notification reply link is fixed in Beta 3. Thanks. A new bug though: that link only works if the reply is on the first of many pages.

For example, the latest reply was emailed to me with this link: http://devpress.com/forums/topics/new-design/#post-2119

Pagination puts that reply on page 2 which means that link doesn’t actually take me to the reply and I have to go to the next page manually.

This is the working link: http://devpress.com/forums/topics/new-design/page/2/#post-2119

Also, that link actually has another bug report

Hi there,

first of all: thank you for this great Forum-Plugin!

I’ve got the standard installation by now and the shortcode [bbp-single-forum id="testforum1"] isn’t working for me.

Has anyone any idea what’s wrong?

[bbp-forum-index] on the same page works perfectly .. but i only want a single forum.

Thank you!

[Patrick Daly]

Is <?php do_action( 'bbp_template_after_forums_index' ); ?> working for everyone else. I can’t find any other complaints about it.

The action is being called in archive-forum.php and should output the latest topic replies in chronological order of freshness.

http://devpress.com/forums/ <– no forum index appearing.

Hi

I’m putting together a forum over at http://forum.photoguides.net

It’s yet to be launched and I’ve been having some trouble with plugins.

The plugins Allow Images, BBcode Lite, BB WYSIWYG Editor don’t seem to be working.

Take a look at http://forum.photoguides.net/topic/test-thread where I’ve tried some tags. When logged in and with the reply form visible there is no editing panel for the wisywyg plugin.

These three plugins all seem to be correctly installed in the my-plugins folder and are active. I’m assuming that because all three aren’t working, there’s some fault with the setup of the site.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Ash Davies

I am editing the ‘page-front-forums’ template.

I need to display the latest topics after the forums.

I copied the loop from the ‘page-front-topics’ but it does display the sticky topics only.

Any idea ?

[The 12th Doctor]

Im using the simple-avatars-upload plugin on my WP site, and i was wondering if it was possible to be able to show those avatars on my bbPress forum? Basically link them across?

Im using latest WP 313 and latest version 1 of bbPress.

Thanks,

Jon

[januzi]

Another symptom is that in the topic there are something wrong with posts order. For some reason latest post goes to the top of the list.

It really would be nice to see all the queries fired up by the bbpress.

[tooltrainer]

Just found what I think is a small bug.

If a member posts in a topic, and the admin splits that topic to move it to a new topic of its own, the “freshness” for that topic is still showing the latest poster as the other member, and they and their avatar are also still shown as the last person to post in that topic when viewing the topic.

Hi guys

New to bbPress but have developed a couple WordPress sites.

My latest project needed a forum so I decided to give bbPress a try. First installed WordPress, then installed bbPress into its own directory (permaculture-bb-forum) and did a deep integration. THEN found out WordPress bbPress plugin, installed it, activated it and now see bb stuff in the WordPress admin.

Unfortunately, that interface shows nothing of the posts/topics/forums setup in bb-admin and stuff added via WordPress dashboard does not show up in the bb.

What’s this all about? Can the plugin <i>NOT</i> be used if you first have already installed bbPress? Are there any docs, videos on this?

Thanks

I need captcha plugin for bbpress.I used Human -test and reCaptcha.I am not satisfied that.Please send the link if u get any idea on CAPTCHA

[genen]

I’ve been running WP sites for a while and have 1 site I use for testing. I installed bbpress as a plugin, and see all the admin screens for it in WP. But am I supposed to install 1.x as well on that server or something? no pages show up when I go to naftulyev.com/forums or any other auto generated forum paths… I get 404 errors. So did I do a partial installation and need to install something else???

Gene

[traveljunkie]

On the user and view pages the body tag has a class of error404, which kinda messes with the layout on my particular setup. I’m using the latest SVN trunk of BBP and the latest trunk of WP 3.2.

@Giulio

That feature is not yet currently available. Actually from my basic understanding of wp user roles, this is going to be a really tough one to tackle.

In general, the way wordPress works is to use actions like read_hidden_forums() where you can then assign that to a specific wp group. The issue comes into play with granular control, i.e. individual forums. Understanding how to extend the control is beyond my knowledge, but will probably be looked into someday.

My own personal plan of attack to solve this is to use buddypress groups to manage the permissions. Each buddypress group can easily have their own admins and moderators. And since each group can have its own forum, then the problem is somewhat solved.

I have not yet done this because I am in no ‘real’ hurry, and personally prefer to wait for buddypress 1.3 before I jump into another huge project.

As the projects mature I think we will start to see many new options popping up.

p.s.

If you are feeling somewhat adventurous, Justin has just released a new beta vs. of members.

[zhonghao]

I just downloaded and installed bbPress 2.0-beta-2.3 so that I may use it’s forum capabilities in BuddyPress (downloaded the latest version today). However after activating the bbPress I can not access my website – I get the message as follows :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_post_type_archive() in /home/bodyw/public_html/healthworks/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-core-compatibility.php on line 446

Does anyone have the slightest idea of what this may mean ? I have tried deactivating all my other plugins to make sure there is no clash but same result. i am using WordPress 3.1.3

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi softinfo. What you’re trying to achieve can be very challenging cause bbPress developers haven’t included such feature in the software. On index.php topics are obtained with get_latest_topics, forums with bb_get_forums.

The current page (for topics) is collected from a $_GET variable called page which have its own rule in the .htaccess which in turn is parsed by bb_get_uri_page (functions.bb-core.php) called from BB_Query::fill_query_vars (yargh).

Now you must do the same thing with forums but in order to do this you must change too many core files and we don’t want our soul damned for eternity.

I don’t have much time at the moment but I can give you some hints.

You need a new page variable that should be different from the default (which is used for posts’ page) together with its own .htaccess rule: RewriteRule ^forum-page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forum/index.php?forum-page=$1 [L,QSA]

You should create a new fake paginate function bb_latest_topics_pages for forums bb_latest_forums_pages, a fake get_page_number_links with /forum-page/%#% instead of /page/%#% and other things here and there.

And last but not least you need a custom query (with a LIMIT) on the $bbdb forum query.

As I said it can be very challenging and there’s room for a very interesting plugin but I don’t write plugins anymore because of the current fragile status of bbPress standalone.

If you will try to write a plugin I will be happy to debug and/or code (a portion of) it.

Hi zaerl, hope you’ll be fine, doing good and still helping people here…

I’m using zaerl Visibility for private discussion. And I’m using one forum for per user. In other words, Whenever a user register, I create a forum for him….

So when a user enter in forums he can view latest discussion and his private forum in front page something like

---

Latest Discussion

---

1 – Lasted Topic one —

2 – Lasted Topic two —

3 – Lasted Topic three —

4 – Lasted Topic four —

25 – Lasted Topic 25 —

---

Main Theme

---

1 – Private Forum Name & Descirption —

So, Its a user view, but for Admin, I can see all forums

Like

---

Main Theme

---

1 – Private Forum Name & Descirption for user 1 —

2 – Private Forum Name & Descirption for user 2–

3 – Private Forum Name & Descirption for user 3–

4 – Private Forum Name & Descirption for user 4–

100 – Private Forum Name & Descirption for user 100–

So, for my view I can see a longest front page….. That’s why I want a pagination for forums, exactly like topics pagination…. Is it possible?

Something like

---

Main Theme

---

1 – Private Forum Name & Descirption for user 1 —

2 – Private Forum Name & Descirption for user 2–

3 – Private Forum Name & Descirption for user 3–

10 – Private Forum Name & Descirption for user 10–

---

Next 10 forums || Previous 10 forums

---

Also please see this screenshot for better understand what I’m taking about.

Thank you so much,

Kind Regards

@JJJ I installed it on a test site.. with 2 forum categories.. General Talk and Talk Happiness

found a bug got

site com/forums

<br />

<title> Happy People's Forum | Sitename </title><br />

but it gives in title tag the archive mode and shows like this

site com/forums

<br />

<title> Forum: Talk Happiness | Sitename </title><br />

supposed to be this one:

site com/forums

<br />

<title> Happy People's Forum | Sitename </title><br />

and this “Forum: Talk Happiness | Sitename” should be only shown at

site com/forums/forum/talk-happiness/

<br />

<title> Forum: Talk Happiness | Sitename </title><br />

when people directly go to site/forum/ they will be lost… 404notfound

and I want to recommend this… its better to have this for forums links pages

Forums Home › Talk Happiness › Why choose happiness with bbPress?

(Structure: forum base, the forum board, the topic)

not this one loosing forums base page.

it gives the latest topic on it..

[edited:added this one bug in topic_tag]

my next question is…

is there a way to change all the head title tag to this formats to improve user experience… for wordpress and bbPress plugin:

For Main Forum Base

<br />

<title> Happy People's Forum | Sitename </title><br />

For forum categories

<br />

<title> Talk Happiness (Forum for single/Board for forum category)| Happy People's Forum </title><br />

For forum post

<br />

<title> Why choose happiness with bbPress? |page#| Happy People's Forum </title><br />

it is sometimes annoying to have the word “Forum:”, “Topic:” or “Topic Tag:” all the head title tag before every forum pages.

Removing this “Forum:”, “Topic:” or “Topic Tag:” could help to market wordpress and combination of bbPress plugin… to be fantastic combination of blog&forum software..

I found that vBulletin sites head title tag structure for forums gives more emphasis on why people will read it, why people should comment to it (# pages = means hot topic), and the brand for the website/forum site [when people search via google, yahoo or any search engine people sees good head title tag structure, more often people will click it and read it]

sorry, asked questions… and i have to comment on how to improve bbpress plugin

[John James Jacoby]

It would take a small plugin to piggy-back on top of bbPress. It would hook into the ‘bbp_has_replies_query’ filter, and switch the ‘order’ argument from ‘ASC’ to ‘DESC’.

Or, you can drop something like this in your functions.php file. (Note: Not tested, so this code might not actually work.)

function bbp_reverse_reply_order( $query = array() ) {



// Bail if no query

if ( empty( $query ) ) return;



// Change the order

$query = 'DESC';



// Return the adjusted query

return $query;

}

add_filter( 'bbp_has_replies_query', 'bbp_reverse_reply_order' );

[BaraBajen]

latest version, updated today

[John James Jacoby]

A piggy-back plugin could be created, to monitor the blog post entry, check which category it’s going into, and then at the same time create the topic. It would need some kind of interface to map blog categories to forums, and you’d need to figure out how to handle edits, etc…

An easier solution, might be to use your blog posts AS the forums, and attach the topics directly to them instead. That should be possible too, although I haven’t tested it extensively.

[John James Jacoby]

Afraid I won’t have much time to test this in the coming days. If someone wants to help collaborate on that one, have at it.

[BaraBajen]

How do you change the order that replies ends up when reading a topic. Is it possible to change order of the replies, so that it shows the latest reply on top (reveresing order).
