Gravity Froms embedded in bbpress topic with shortcode?

Published on October 2nd, 2013 by Bryan Morgan

I am using the latest install of wordpress, buddypress and bbpress as well as gravity forms. I am needing to place a Gravity From inside a private bbpress forum topic as this form is meant to be seen only by members of this private buddypress group. When using the typical “add form” button at the top of the edit topic page which adds the shortcode to embed the form it places the shortcode there but then the shortcode is the only thing that appears when viewing the topic, not the intended form. Is shortcode not the way to do this and if not what is the best way to proceed to allow only members of this private group access to this form?

Hello, I’ve added a plugin into my wordpress (phpScheduleIt)and its interfering with this plugin. It is coming up with a message saying

Fatal error: Call to a member function add_query_var() on a non-object in /home/guildfor/public_html/wp-includes/rewrite.php on line 47

Any idea how I can solve it?

I have the latest virsions of WordPress and bbPress.

Alter mceInit for visual editor on topics

Published on October 1st, 2013 by CraigM1970

WordPress 3.6.1, bbPress 2.4, Buddypress1.8.1 Site is www.thedoctorwhoforum.com

I’m using the visual TinyMCE editor on my bbPress Forum pages and also on my normal WordPress blog pages.

Some users have issues with spans and other code being copied in when they paste. I have been able to stop the pasting issue on the blog comments with the following code which added the paste plugin to TinyMCE:

function myformatTinyMCE($in) {
	$in['plugins'] = 'inlinepopups, paste, wordpress, wplink, wpdialogs';
	$in['paste_text_sticky'] = true;
	$in['paste_text_sticky_default'] = true;
   return $in;
}
add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'myformatTinyMCE' );

However, it doesn’t affect TinyMCE on the Forums. They seem to be separate. I instigated the visual editor on the bbPress topics with the following code:

function bbp_enable_visual_editor($in) {
  $in['tinymce'] = true;
 return $in;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor');

I’ve tried lots of different things, but I can’t seem to affect the bbPress TinyMCE the same way I can the blog TinyMCE.

For example, this didn’t work:

function bbp_enable_visual_editor($in) {
  $in['tinymce'] = true;
  $in['plugins'] = 'inlinepopups, paste, wordpress, wplink, wpdialogs, tabfocus';
  $in['paste_text_sticky'] = true;
  $in['paste_text_sticky_default'] = true;
 return $in;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor');

Anybody any ideas how to add paste to the plugins and possibly add paste_text_sticky etc as well? I’m a bit new at this.

Thanks.

Importing from mingle instructions please!!

Published on October 1st, 2013 by begonegrete

Hi,

I don’t know where to find:

Database Name Name of the database with your old forum data
Database User User for your database connection
Database Password Password to access the database
Table Prefix (If converting from BuddyPress Forums, use “wp_bb_” or your custom prefix)

Really new at this, could anyone please tell me where to look. I’m using mingle…

Thanks

Move Topic – shows up in old forum index

Published on October 1st, 2013 by seamtv

I moved a topic from a buddypress Group forum to a non-Group forum. The topic appears in the new forum AND the old one. When I click on the entry in the old forum, I am taken to its new location.
Is this meant to happen? Or, is there some way I can stop it from appearing in the old forum?
Thanks.

Landing page issues

Published on October 1st, 2013 by benjito

I want to create a custom landing page which displays my forums.

I have created a page with the bbPress shorcode

which works fine.

However, the breadcrumb “forums” link goes to a different page which contains a load of text jibberish!

I changed the forums slug in the settings to my page (and updated the permalinks) but instead of the breadcrumb link going to the page with the shortcode, the page itself gets over-written by the text jibberish.

It actually looks like the bbPress sidebar is loading into the main content field, though i don’t know why or how to fix.

Page with shortcode > activenaturalist.org.uk/anforum/
Forums breadcrumb text jibberish > activenaturalist.org.uk/fmsforum/

If anyone thinks this post looks familiar it is because i posted about something similar in the past then went under siege from a Chinese bot, the website has only recently been allowed back up by my host.

WP 3.6.1

Add a forum specific sidebar!

Published on October 1st, 2013 by benjito

I seem to have the opposite problem to everyone else and i can’t get the “bbPress WP Tweaks” forum sidebar to display instead of the default one. (yes i have reset permalinks, yes i have added widgets to the sidebar).

Every forum page continues to just show the default sidebar.

I am using the Customizr theme and suspect this may be the issue? Can anyone suggest anything else obvious i may be missing?

I also have a separate issue with the “forums” landing page which may be linked.

I need some assistance please. I have looked all over the web and I have not found any information on how to get breadcrumbs to appear for bbpress installation. All is working fine for me so far. I am using plugin-bbpress.php as my template. There is already <?php bbp_breadcrumb(); ?> in that template but no breadcrumbs are appearing. Using the latest 2.4 bbpress plugin. Help?

How to change the width of the Forum block

Published on October 1st, 2013 by palmakan

Hello there,

I am tearing my hair out to try and change the with of this forum block (area in white) on my site. It is far too small and want it to be wider.

http://khalsaspad.com/forums/

If one then clicks on “Traders talk forum” the width changes to a wider width.

If you then click on “Trading rules and motivation” it changes to a different width again.

How can I change the change the width of the area in white on all the forum blocks to be nice and wide?

I am using bbpress 2.4 and WordPress 3.61 with the picochic theme.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much in advance.
