Adding fields to metadata – getting it updated

Published on May 11th, 2013 by Robin W

I have added a new input line to the form-user-edit.php I plan to add more and have these either via functions.php or a plugin when I have got it working, but for the moment am changing the .php itself.

So for now I have put in new line, copying the syntax of another one :`<label for=”town”><?php _e( 'Town', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>
<input type=”text” name=”town” id=”town” value=”<?php echo esc_attr( bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'town' ) ); ?>” class=”regular-text” tabindex=”<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>” />`

This works fine, except how do I get this to save the info? It lets me change it, but doesn’t let me save it.

However if I set a row in phpmyadmin, then this code displays it, but again doesn’t not save a change.

What bit of logic am I missing?

Need to move forums to posts

Published on May 11th, 2013 by wpmhweb

Hello,

I believe bbPress is a great product, just not for me. So I need to uninstall bbPress from my site, but I need to migrate the conversations so they still appear as posts in the site. Is there any way to accomplish this?

Thanks

Forums invisible in certain theme

Published on May 11th, 2013 by rxcosta

I have the forums as a link from a menu item – the url is villagepca.org – if you click on the menu item “Forums”, you get to http://www.villagepca.org/forums/

If I put a link for a specific forum, it shows up – e.g., click on “Prayer Requests” on the menu, and you’ll see that this works.

But not “forums” as a whole – this does not work. But if I pick another theme, it works. And the same theme that isn’t working does work on another site of mine (a test site with a similar name: villagepc.org)

Suggestions please?

list only most recently active threads

Published on May 10th, 2013 by sixf00t4

in widgets, we only have a choice between newest threads and newest replies. When a thread is very active, it fills up all the most recent replies, but it would be nice to just have a list of the most recently active threads instead of having “good” threads get flooded by 1 very active thread.

"Remove action" code to get rid of code?

Published on May 10th, 2013 by Robin W

Ok, so I have writen and got working my first plugin, I am adding some user info to the reply display

BBpress has the following lines in loop-single-reply

<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_author_details' ); ?>
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true) ); ?>
[...other lines of code here]
				
<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_author_admin_details' ); ?>

I worked out how to get a plugin to put the other stuff I need before ‘bbp_theme_before_reply_author_admin_details’ so it’s working fine

BUT I want to change the line

<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true) ); ?>
to
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => false) ); ?>

I think I do this with a “remove action” in my plugin, and then add the code line as I want it back into my plugin – in effect deleting all the code between the two “do actions” and replacing this with what I want.

But I cannot fathom from the codex and other googles quite how you do this

1) is my understanding correct?
2) what would the code line be in my plugin?

Importing from phpBB fails

Published on May 10th, 2013 by ZachMatthews

I am having this exact same problem, but my phpbb database is in the same place as my wordpress database. (_phpbb and _wordpress on my MySQL server).

Anyone figure this out?

Permalinks?

Published on May 10th, 2013 by redkite

I’m not sure if this is a problem or a setting I need to change – I’m using a shortcode to display the forums here:

http://www.redkitecreative.com/dev/ivas/member-news/forum/

But if I click through to any forum or topic, the URL changes to:

http://www.redkitecreative.com/dev/ivas/forums/forum/members/

What happened to my member-news page in the URL? I think this may be confusing for users – it’s confusing to me…

No Data to Clean – No Users to Convert…

Published on May 10th, 2013 by ZachMatthews

Guys –

I have been through the mother of all forum migrations in the last few days, from YaBB 2.3.1 -> YaBB 2.4 -> SMF 1.1.11 -> phpBB3.

All to get into a format that would let me import into bbPress.

Now that I finally have a nice clean copy of my 75k post forum in phpBB, I am getting the following when I run the bbPress converter:

No passwords to clear
No users to convert
No data to clean
Starting Conversion

I stopped it at that point because I have read trying to re-run the converter is problematic.

I would be SO GRATEFUL for any help. At this point I just want to get through with this…

Fancy editor is not visible on Replay

Published on May 10th, 2013 by aleXka

Hello,
I installed the last version of bbPress.
In the plugin configurations I checked
“Use the fancy WordPress editor to create and edit topics and replies”.
In the result I have editor panel on new topic creation area: http://pumpshooter.com/EcAUdJfM
But on the Reply area there is no editor: http://pumpshooter.com/yRDEno0E

1) How do I activate editor on reply text area?
2) How do I switch editor to be in “Visual” mode?

Thx!

Order forums display alphabetically

Published on May 10th, 2013 by dubbinz

bbpress Version 2.3.2
wordpress Version 3.5.1
Hi, I am looking for a way to order all forums (not topics) alphabetically. I read some posts here and they refer to a bbp-forum-template.php in the includes folder but this file is no longer inside this file. Can anybody tell me which file to edit and line number to do this?
