Forum Index Customization

Published on November 19th, 2013 by cjcampbell121

When looking at the settings, I see that I can “customize” the forum index with shortcodes. I did that, and when its just its own page, then it works. When I try and change the settings to display that page as the forum index, it overwrites it with a weird looking search result instead of the index.

All I want it to do is to display the forums that I have, and to be the forum link that is displayed when you go into a topic.

Here is the default root:

Here is the page with the shortcode (and not yet assigned to the forum root):

Here is the forum root changed (with the same page):

This is a very simple site with a discussion forum. The image is a screenshot as the site is protected.

Loreschool.com – A Guild Wars 2 guild

Published on November 18th, 2013 by isopaha

Hey,

I just finished creating the 2.0 version of my guild’s website. The earlier version was running really old wp+bp+bbp, so I wanted to create everything from the ground up.

I had a lot of issues importing the forums and users from the old site, since I didn’t want to import thousands of spambots.

Anyway, you can check out the forum at:

www.loreschool.com/forums/ and the whole site at the same place.

I’m running BuddyPress + BBPress. What do you think? Site is fully responsive but I still have some graphic elements and css to fix on some resolutions. Any feedback is welcome 🙂

EDIT: One of my biggest issues is that the Search widget is not searching anything from the forums, so I have to use some BBPress search widget, which in other hand doesnt search anything from posts. Any ideas for a fix?

Password Emails Not Being Sent to New Registered Users

Published on November 18th, 2013 by jjwallestad

When new users register on my website, they are not being sent an email with their password. Additionally I have it set up for new users to be assigned the role of “participant” for the forums, and when they register no role is selected for them until I change it manually. I am running bbpress plugin 2.4.1 on WordPress 3.7.1. My site is http://birdingacrossamerica.com. I am using the shortcode . Previously I had no problems with users registering, getting their passwords, and being assigned the particpant role. I’m not sure when it changed, but it is no longer working.

Thanks for your help.

Is it possible to create a Facebook newsfeed style solution with only bbPress?

Published on November 17th, 2013 by Suzanne

Hi guys – I want to create a Facebook newsfeed style interface on a site using only bbPress. I’ve run BuddyPress installations before and that’s way more functionality than I need, or want to manage. All I need is the ability for registered users to post something and to have other users comment -> simple forum. The trick is to mash-up everything into one template, topics with their replies, that paginates just like the Facebook newsfeed.

I’m wondering if someone has done this, if it’s even possible or if there are limitations within the code that make that impossible without BuddyPress. My guess is it requires a custom template with a set of custom queries. Any leads or insights into this would be appreciated. Thanks!
