Is there a list or directory of what each file in bbpress does?

Published on September 18th, 2012 by BobHatcher

Does there exist anywhere a listing of each file and what it does? How in the world do we newbies figure out which file does what?

Any thoughts?

HTML Tags Missing

Published on September 18th, 2012 by mpriola

I continue to have problems with the sidebar showing up below my content.

In looking at the code generated by bbpress, I have noticed that on certain forum pages (the affected ones), bbpress is leaving out the opening body tag.

My forum is at: www.cormacmccarthy.com/forums. Click down into any of the forums, and you’ll see:

–All the sidebar content is below the main forum table, which expands to fill the whole screen.

–The header and top menu content is disorganized and not properly styled.

–When you view the source code for the page, you’ll notice the missing tag.

I’ve done plenty of troubleshooting myself, but an absent body tag, together with a not-closed head tag, needs to be addressed before I can really do anything else–given the reliance of most style sheets on the presence of those tags.

Any thoughts?

Latest Topics – modifications

Published on September 17th, 2012 by brandy42

Hello,

When I viewed the bbpress.org demo forums my expectation was that my forums landing page would look the same as the demo after installation but in fact it does not.

Could someone please help me with a solution exactly the same as the bbpress forums landing page which shows the latest topics with the exact same information displaying?

  • Topic (ex. bbPress 2.2)
  • Voices (ex. 14)
  • Replies (ex. 14)
  • Freshness (ex. 2 weeks, 4 days ago (avatar) (name of member who last posted)

From my understanding the widget called (bbPress) Recent Topics already has this functionality but is lacking the information to display Voices, Replies and (avatar) (name of member who last posted) .

What is the easiest way to implement this? Modify the widget? Create a new widget? Implement the code into the Forums landing page itself?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks very much!

bbPress 1.1 Import to New 2.1.2 Plugin

Published on September 17th, 2012 by hixsonb

I really hate to open a new topic since there seems to be several on the subject I have in mind. Which involves issues when trying to import a bbPress 1.1 installation to WordPress 3.4.2 using the bbPress 2.1.2 plugin.

I have read the other topics but I am still not getting something right or I am just overlooking a step.

As stated, I have a current bbPress 1.1 installation that is integrated to my WordPress installation.

When I fill out all the fields in the Import Forums section, it starts the process but I receive a message “No forums to convert”, “No topics to convert” and etc. However, there are no errors.

I looked in the WP_Options table for the bbp_converter_query option to see if it provided any information but that option was not there.

After everything completes, I do run the Repairs and Recounts to no avail.

Quite honestly, to me… it looks like the plugin is not connecting to the database even though I know the settings are correct.

Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

Thanks much,
Bert

Error when adding a new bbPress topic

Published on September 17th, 2012 by HorrorUK

I asked this on the BuddyPress site, but didn’t get a response, so thought I’d ask here.

I’m trying to add topics in my forums within a BP group, but whenever I do, I get the following message:

There was an error when creating the topic

I’ve tried creating within the group and within the main site and selecting a group to post to, but I get the same thing.

I thought it was the theme I’m using so I tried the default BP theme, which is where I got the message above (on my theme, it just didn’t say anything).

Thanks.

User count mismatch

Published on September 17th, 2012 by dosch

Hey,

I have the latest version of WordPress and use Multisite installation with 30+ users. The multisite has 6 different blogs and one forum powered by bbPress.

According to the Dashboard of the website with bbPress there are 32 users on the fora. But when I click on the ‘Users’ Tab there are only 4 users…
Also users complain that they get errors while trying to start new topics…

Look here for a screenshot: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/440/screenshot20120917at154.png

Also in the superadmin dashboard of the network there are only three listed users, but it says there should be 32…

Any idea how to resolve this?

I want to make a “Road Map” forum where members (multisite) can respond to the road map by posting replies but not start new topics. Does this functionality exist.

Thanks

editor view for forum participants

Published on September 17th, 2012 by joulu2000

Hi,
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. I just created a bbpress forum and a few participants complained about the editor view they get when posting a message to forum.
The main complaint is that they don´t have the ability to use all the functions, such as font sizes etc. Is there a possibility for a simpler editor view for forum participants?
