In the main forum/topic view the css is updated with status-closed.

However the Forum and Topic widgets do not update the status.
I would like to change this.

Where does the existing code set status-closed for both Forums and Topics.

Hopefully you can see what I’m wanting to show here

I had to shift my attentions elsewhere for my website development, but will be working on trialing the import of the manually updated MyBB post table hopefully by the end of April. I will update when I have tried it and will report on the results.

Hi there,

I am just wondering if posts that are made on the topics page are automatically shown to other users in real-time without having to refresh the page to load in the new posts.

For example, user A posts a comment within a topic. User B who is viewing this topic sees the comment come through on their device automatically rather than them having to refresh the page.

If this is already the case then that is great! However, if it is not, would you be able to tell me if this is possible and, furthermore, guide me on how to do it?

Thank you!

Hi

I want the thumbnail to appear on the topic
Search results found a plugin similar to the function I’m hoping for

bbpress-topic-thumbnails
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-topic-thumbnails/

I want to add one more feature in this plugin.
With this plugin, thumbnails of all forum topics are displayed

I only want to use this feature for 1 specific forum
reason for write topic is because the plugin has not been updated for a long time.

So I ask for help here

code is

/*Hooks into the loop-topic.php output to print image*/
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_title', 'bee_insert_thumbnail' );
function bee_insert_thumbnail() {

        if((!bee_catch_image() == '')){
        echo('<a href="'); 
    echo(bbp_topic_permalink() . '"><img class="bbp-topic-thumbnail"  width="100%" style="max-width: ' . get_option('thumbnail_size_w') . 'px; max-height: ' . get_option('thumbnail_size_h'). 'px; vertical-align:middle;" src="' . bee_catch_image() . '"/>' .'</a>');
        }
}

/*Function that retrieves the first image associated with the topic*/
function bee_catch_image() {
  global $post, $posts;
  $first_img = '';
  ob_start();
  ob_end_clean();
  $output = preg_match_all('/<img.+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"].*>/i', $post->post_content, $matches);
  $first_img = $matches [1] [0];
  return $first_img;
}

Anyone can help?
Thanks

Hello again?

@robin-w

I thought of this problem as “bbp style pack”
Because when a problem occurs, the error is “bbp style pack” error.
this support link

I just updated the bbp style pack, but bbpress still problems
I don’t think it’s a “bbp style pack” problem
(Because no error occurs after update)

I’m worried because no error occurred
First, I’ll try to disable the plugin one by one according to your guide and test it.

I will also install the “Health Check & Troubleshooting” plugin.

Thanks

Best Regards,
Hyunho

If you are happy to have a hands on approach to user registrations, then you probably don’t need a membership plugin.

As far as the bbpress part goes

forums set to public are viewable by anyone
forums set to private are viewable only by registered users

so if you set forums to private they will not appear to unregistered users, so only visible once a user has logged in. If you set not to allow anonymous posting (dashboard>settings>forums) , then only registered users will be able to post.

bbpress just uses wordpress users for login and registration with an extra bbpress parameter, so you can just use wordpress to set up users.

If you are going to have manual registration, then you turn off ‘anyone can register’ in wordpress (dashboard>settings>general>membership), and create a form using a form plugin (eg contact form 7) to let users ask to register with whatever fields you want. This will be emailed to whoever you want, who can then decide if they should allow membership.
You can then take payment manually (eg bank transfer) or via say a Paypal link on your site.

The approver would then add the user (2 minutes or less).

As far as wordpress page content then use a plugin that restricts content to registered users such as

Content Control – User Access Restriction Plugin

finally you would use

bbPress Messages

to allow uses to message each other – don’t worry that this plugin has not been updated for a while – it is stable and works

as far as I can see that would meet your requirements list.

translated..

with the latest update there is a bug.
Each time the article is updated, a new post is created in the forum.

The update only affected a function that runs on plugin activation – but I will take a look

[Chuckie]

FYI I use the free version of GD bbPress Tools that has a setting for the User Signature. This plugin is actively updated.

GD bbPress Tools

[uksentinel]

bbP Signature – Can somebody let me know if this plugin is still supported, it was updated recently but I have noted a problem ?

Thanks

Hello Robin,

My BBpress version was acquired with the global Multinews theme which has BBpress integration.
I was working with BBpress files for this theme in a child. I configured according to my wishes and I realized that the BBpress files of Multinews are old (they have not updated anything on that side).
So I put a current version of BBpress but on the other hand the whole presentation changes in particular at the category and forum level as I indicated in the presentation.

[emanibr]

It’s updated along the forum but not in the lables. what shall I do?

[neon67]

So, the final css looks like this (you must put “a”)

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-freshness .dayfresh  a {
background-color : #f4ffe8 ;
	border: 1px dashed;
	color: #475656;
}

also 86400 looks a lot – captures the 2nd day. Perhaps need to set 23 hours. But these are little things ))

Thanks to Robin for the great code!))
I think this is a useful find for those who visit the forum once a day and immediately see how many topics have been updated in the last day.
Colored blocks are very noticeable – it’s better than straining and peering at the date numbers.

[Robin W]

bbpress forum utility pack has in it

\bbp-jp-utility\templates\form-custom-signup.php

which is a replacement for form-user-register, and takes over, so your version is not used.

you should ask the author about modifying this template, he may have a hook you can use, but if you do end up modifying the plugin template, you will need to repeat this everytime that plugin is updated.

Hi Robin

I updated BBP Style Pack and placed the shortcode [bsp-profile] both into a page and into a shortcode option for the menu

The shortcode in the page does not work and the shortcode in the menu creates the following Hyperlink in which UK Sentinel is replaced by UK%20Sentinel and does not work – it should be uk–sentinel

https://uktechhub.com/forums/users/UK%20Sentinel

I am just going to create a new user with a single name,

[Gunivortus]

That plugin was updated the last time 6 years ago and compatible only up to WordPress 4.0.32. So I wrote the author if he still supports the plugin and if he does, if he could update it to the current versions of WP and bbp.

[randrcomputers]

Updated to 2.6.6 and wow did my server load spike! took me a week to figure out it was bbpress update as i also did many other updates that day anyways downgraded back to 2.6.5 all good. Any idea why this would happen? Forums are somewhat large but i dont think huge: Total forums: 36 • Total posts: 94,124 • Total topics: 7,381 • Total users: 36,925

[Robin W]

andy, great glad you are fixed – sorry was on anther task whilst you were keeping us updated on progress 🙂

[erich199]

Thank you @robin-w for helping to get this one updated for everyone.

[Robin W]

I’ve just updated the topics for posts plugin 🙂

[Robin W]

I am just a guy who sites in his kitchen and writes code for enjoyment, and I like to try and help others on the forums.

I do not get paid to do this, I have no connection with bbpress and all code (inc wordpress and bbpress) is offered under OSF, which is that it is free, open source to allow others to amend it, and offered with no support and no warranty that it does anything.

bbpress authors are free to decide what they put in their code, as am I. I do not suggest what should be in bbpress, nor do I consider that they should take any notice of me.

The topics for posts plugin has not been updated for a while because the authors do not choose to do so, that is their right, it is free code offered at the point of publishing. You are free to learn php and update and amend it as you wish.

I am not author of topics for posts, I have just been granted access as I wish to update it, which I will do when I am ready to do so.

[Ricsca2]

Article comments should be integrated into defoult’s bbpress in my opinion.

bbPress Topics for Posts

I do not understand why this function does not actually exist and wordpress mentine these two desired services. In this way today few people leave comments and few people write in the forum …
I saw that the creatre of this plugin is @Robin W so I would like to ask him why wodpress doesn’t take this option into consideration.
Also I’d like to ask why this plugin hasn’t been updated in a while.
Thanks

[Robin W]

thanks, was a while ago that page was last updated – I’ve added you better solution 🙂

[uksentinel]

I am running Version 2.6.6 and for others running into this problem, I force installed BBPRESS Version 2.6.6 four times and this so far seems to have resolved my “new posts are added, but the Last Post time column is not updated”

Thanks for the assistance, as always and seems every time I post a question, I then solve it myself 😉

Such Fun!

Can I ask, do we know when the next release of the ‘BBP Style Pack’ might be released ?

[uksentinel]

To add, most of the Categories are updated automatically, just a couple of Categories are not working correctly
