bbPress.org

The profile pages are using my default theme template, how can I change which template is being used?

Some fixes in bbPress 2.2.3:

• Improve compatibility with some themes.
• Fix integration with BuddyPress Group Forums.
• Fix BuddyPress Activity Stream integration.

It’s also fully compatible with WordPress 3.5.

I want to change the output of the “Code” editor button of the bbpress plugin to use my custom shortcode for posting code in the forums. How can I do this? I’m unable to find any reference to the buttons in any of the templates.

This is my first time trying bbpress. Installation went without a hitch, but I noticed a weird behaviour. After installing bbpress and setting my forum base to ‘forums’ and my forum slug to ‘forum’, going to mydomain.com/forums shows me my blog page instead. And, going to mydomain.com/forum gives me a Not Found error. Any ideas of what I am missing?

Ideally, I’d like my readers to access the root of the Forums by going to mydomain.com/forums.

i am having trouble in changing text color in bbpress.
my wordpress version is Version 3.4.2 and bbpress version is : 2.2.2
I am no expert in Css but have a little knowledge about css,after installing bbpress every thing was working perfect until i realised i am not able to view what i have written in the subject of a topic because my text color matches background color,resulting in a white screen.I went through some similar related topic but sadly was unable to fix the problem.If some one can guide me step by step what should be done to erase this problem i would be grateful.I use a custom theme on my website named PrestigeDarkVol 1.4.Below is a screen shot of the problem faced by me.
Do let me know which Css to edit and which lines and the location of the css file in file transfer protocol.Any help related to this topic is much appreciated. thank you very much in advanced.looking forward for a solution.

Howdy,

I see there’s a gentleman below with this same issue:

When I use firefox, click on a username to view their profile – the topics created and replies don’t show up in the profile…just a blank page (though it does show an accurate count of posts and replies).

Any thoughts? Any ideas how to solve this? I can’t very well just tell people that this feature just plain won’t work on firefox….

thanks much!

I need to prevent users from being able to see the forum unless they are logged in. The trick is, the login form needs to authenticate against an external database that is contained in one of our servers (not WP or BBPress).

I’m trying to figure out the smartest way to do this. I thought of just creating a regular PHP login, but I’m not sure exactly how to restrict the forum this way. Right now I have all of my forums set to “private” which pretty much does the restriction for you.

It’s a bit complicated but any suggestions would be awesome.

[WP 3.4.2 + bbPress v2.2.2]

I’ve searched around a bit for a way to do this – but have found no neat solution. All threads relating to this seem to be 2-3 years old and be for the bbPress standalone rather than the plugin.

Basically what I want is a simple list displaying forums + topic count, in my page.php. Example:


<ul>
<li><a href="#">Forum title 1<span>Topic count</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#">Forum title 2<span>Topic count</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#">Forum title 3<span>Topic count</span></a></li>
</ul>


Etc.

I know that there is a widget listing the forums categories, but I need the topic count as well for a better overview. Also, if easily doable, I need to exclude a forum category from the list.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To all those smart coding guys out there, please can someone help me with the bbP functions needed to complete the code below. I think there are two bbP functions needed – see square brackets [??…]. Or maybe someone has a better way of doing it.

I’m trying to integrate BP1.6.1, the new bbP2.2.2 forums and WordPress SEO1.3.1.1 so that the WordPress SEO (meta) page titles are shown when a bbP Topic is being shown within a BP page (just like they are shown for native bbP forum pages).

I’ve hooked functions into ‘bp_modify_page_title’ before and managed to extract ‘_yoast_wpseo_title’ before. So I’m part way there I guess.

I also understand that I need to change the priority from 10 to 16 (or more) in line below (in buddypress>bp-core>bp-core-filters.php), to make bp_modify_page_title filter execute after, and hence overrule, WPSEO title which has priority 15 (in worpress-seo>frontend>class-frontend.php).
add_filter( ‘wp_title’, ‘bp_modify_page_title’, 16, 3 );


add_filter( 'bp_modify_page_title', 'new_page_title', 10, 4 );
function new_page_title( $new_page_title, $title, $sep, $seplocation ) {
global $bp, $bbp;
/** If bbP Topic is being shown within a BP page then replace title with title input via Yoast WordPress SEO plugin */
if ( [?? a bbp function that is true when bbP Topic is being shown within a BP page] && bp_is_active( 'groups' ) && !empty( $bp->groups->current_group ) ) {
[?? a bbp function that loads the bbP Topic Post ID to $topic->ID];
$new_page_title= get_post_meta( $topic->ID, _yoast_wpseo_title, true);
}
return $new_page_title;
}


If you can help please, and I can then get this to work, I’ll post the result back again so others can benefit.

Many thanks.

All,

I would love to hear thoughts from the community on suitability of bb press for a Q & A site. I am considering using the software for a legal question answer site and would only want lawyers to be able to answer questions.

Would the solution be to disable replies for certain users and only allow attorney users the ability to post replies/answers?

Would this throw off functionality?

Thanks for your time,

John
