Click: (to front) in: [Stick topic (to front)] and not the [Stick topic…] part

[startribe]

Not sure if I was completely clear on this one. If you view the bbPress forum page, then under the latest discussions there are stickies. I am not sure if this a feature unique to the forum located here, but when I turn a topic into a sticky it only sticks inside the forum it is registered, and it doesn’t stick in the latest discussion section (like the stickies on this forum’s latest discussions).

Thanks for the help.

Hello Individual,

are you using the Latest Discussions plugin? There is no simple switch to flick that I know of.

The way to do it I think is to find all stickies – perhaps there’s an API function, perhaps you need a quick database query – output them, count them and output the remaining number of threads the way it’s done now. You could work that into the current plugin. If you don’t want to get your hands dirty, perhaps someone will do it for you.

No problem,

fel

Hey Community,

I created a sticky that works inside a forum, but how do I get it to work in the latest discussions area?

Thanks,

Hope this is the right place. I just installed the latest svn version on my local pc, and got the forementioned error twice (also with topic_slug field). Running mysql 5.0.

Sorry if this has been dealt with, but I’ve searched the forums for this and haven’t found anything. I’m pretty sure this is not a bozo issue.

Using bbPress 0.8.1 with WordPress 2.1

Just installed not long ago and am testing now…

I am able to add forums with no problem.

But, when I add a new post to a given forum, it appears to save (it does in fact, as I checked the db table). However, it doesn’t show up in the forum post counts on the front page, and unless I navigate back to the form where I added the post, I lose it completely.

I’ve tried subscribing to a new post that I just saved, and I get the message “Something strange happened, please try refreshing”. I do refresh, and the message goes away, but nothing else happens, and the post is still lost in limbo.

Any tags attached to the post do show up correctly –it’s just the post itself that is gone.

Thanks for any help!

When i was using author.php for my wordpress profile i used the following code to show the latest blog posts i had made

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

I’m running version 8.1 and it isn’t a directory so it looks like this;

http://www.radioavivamiento.com/foro/rss.php

Again thanks guys.

[Trent Adams]

Sorry, wrong syntax, but it does work with:

https://bbpress.org/forums/rss/

http://onvertigo.com/rss/

fel64, you must think I am crazy today eh as I can’t seem to get anything straight the first time!!

Trent

[fel64]

I haven’t got that, and nor do you Trent. Incidentally the bb forums feed you linked to is empty but entitled “Comments on: Forums”, tagline “Just another WordPress weblog”.

[Trent Adams]

It should work just having the main RSS feed like this sites:

https://bbpress.org/forums/feed/

Mine would be:

http://onvertigo.com/feed/

Thanks,

Trent

[ProSam]

DANG IT! There is no RSS for recent topics, is there?

I only found RSS for each forum.

[ProSam]

Oh, oh, oh, the RSS Feed will do just fine. Awesome. I have several RSS feeds already running on the homepage so the RSS will work GREAT! Thanks for opening my eyes!

[fel64]

There’s probably a filter similar to latest_topics, where you could check if the forum name is the same as the one you want to get rid of.

Hi,

I have made a own forum page that shows the topics from just 1 forum. For this page I used the front-page.php and index.php files as a base. Everything works fine except the hyperlinks. All hyperlinks from the topics are shown as plain text instead of like this: http://www.test.com

Any thoughts how to fix this?

[wmarcy]

Here is what I have in my front-page.php:

<h2><?php _e('Hightest Ratings'); ?></h2>

<table id="highest">

<tr>

<th><?php _e('Highest Rated Topics'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('Rating'); ?></th>

<th><?php _e('#'); ?></th>

</tr>



<?php $topics = bb_top_topics(); ?>

<?php foreach ($topics as $topic);  ?>

<tr<?php alt_class('forum'); ?>>

<td><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a>



<td><div class="rating-holder"><?php bb_rating();?>

<td class="num"><?php bb_rating_count(); ?>



</table>

This code is only showing the first topic it comes across with a rating.

See what I am talking about at: http://www.wetworx.com/forums/

Any help would be appreciated.

Gack!

I listed a bunch of WordPress plugins. That doesn’t help. Basically, the concept is the same. You need to grab the RSS feed from bbPress and insert that into your site.

How about any of these techniques?

The first result looked promising…

The Gathering theme is on http://spencerp.net currently… I could always import the content from WP to MT though, couldn’t I? LOL! I already had MT setup within 15 minutes on a sub domain name a few weeks back, shouldn’t take me too much longer to set it up this time.. whee!

Maybe could setup phpBB 3.0 whatever the hell the latest version is now… Got up that over here now: http://www.vindictivebastard.net/forum

I don’t know though.. hmm

The site I added bbP to is not based on WP so I was wondering if there was a plugin whereas the latest 5 topics or whatever can be seen on the front page of any site. Like a php includes or ssi.

Hi.

I know that’s not the wordpress forum, but my problem is about bbpress so i’ll ask there.

firstly, look at this: http://ram.org.pl/forum/

everything seem to be working ok, but click on the ‘latest discussion’ called ‘ostatnio na forum’ in my sidebar on the right. there’s a problem with links to topics. how to resolve the problem?

[chrishajer]

I’m not worried about fixing it for me. I’m worried about fixing it for every new person who comes along and installs it and has a problem immediately. If the above works, that should be the default and that should be released. Anyone who downloads the latest.tar.gz should not have to edit out anything to fix the bozo problem. The default doesn’t work, so it should be changed until it’s fixed. No patches: a new release.

[Arlo]

Hi – I’m having the same problem with /tags/ when I use permalinks or slugs. I’m running latest bbPress with the trac fix, and the the htaccess hack didn’t work either (it spewed content of tags.php as raw text)

Any ideas?

[bedbugger]

I have a fairly active forum and the “latest discussion” goes back 5 days. People don’t really know which forum they were reading posts from before.

Is there a plugin for archiving by date?

Can I change the number of posts that show under latest discussion?

Can I change the number of visible “hot tags”?

Are there other ways to make this more manageable?

I’m not very experienced with bbpress, so thanks for any responses and instructions you can provide or point me towards.

I can understand the concerns about JavaScript being written into the core. The point that cool2sv and others are making is that all the javascript that is written inline into the core code could be removed and the same functionality could be provided by adding events to DOM objects in external scripts. By doing this we could abstract away the absolute need for any particular JavaScript library, even though we would almost certainly include one in the core. If this was done then people could emulate the JavaScript functionality included in the core using other JavaScript libraries that better suit them. It is a cleaner and more flexible approach. That being said, there is quite a lot of work and testing to be done to achieve this for what may generally have limited benefit. Still, I think it should be considered and maybe even ticketed as an enhancement.

I just installed bbPress for the first time, and I’ve noticed a certain oddity that was incredibly frustrating until I figured out what was going on. The first thing I did after installing was make a bunch of test posts. But after only a couple, the posts stopped showing up. They’d appear in yellow after I posted them, and then, when I went back to the homepage, I couldn’t find them again.

Now, I think I’ve figured out what happened. My guess is that bbPress doesn’t like it when one user posts too many times consecutively. (Registering a new user and posting under that account did work.) But those posts don’t appear in the control panel under the Content tab. The only place I can find them is in the Dashboard, under “Recently Moderated.” And the only way to make them display seems to be to click into the individual post, scroll to the bottom and click “undelete,” even though, confusingly, there’s also a “delete” link higher up on the page.

I suppose I’m OK with this, but I just wanted to come here and confirm: Is this proper behavior? Am I missing something? What’s the post limit? Is there any way to turn it off, even if just for admins? I suspect on this forum there might end up being one or two users making a bunch of consecutive posts, and I’m all right with that. Can I at least get e-mail notification when something is moderated, and can it show up somewhere in the control panel? Plugins, perhaps?

A lot of questions, I know. Sorry, but this was really throwing me off.
