bbPress.org

bbPress 2.1 brought the fancy editor to topics and replies, which is great, but the link function is broken. In the Visual tab, if you click it, it does nothing. In the HTML tab, it generates invalid code that disappears if you switch to the Visual tab. The code it generates is, e.g.,

<a href="http://poetryroundup.us/whup/?topic=editors-please-comment" title="Link"></a>

instead of

<a href="http://poetryroundup.us/whup/?topic=editors-please-comment"> Link </a>

There are a couple of other problems–can one set the Visual tab to be the default? I am sure that many users would appreciate that. Also, in Visual mode, a return inserts an extra line–can one turn that off? For my purposes (posting poetry) that is a real killer.

Thank you in advance!

So it seems the entire forum is broke after the update.

All the info of the forum seems to be there but all the definition of the page is gone, pagination, columns, rows, etc.

Anyone know of an easy way to fix this?

I have about 10,000 users in a social network I run, in a proprietary format. I can, however, script an export from that system into any other format.

Is there a way I can import the users into bbpress and preserve as much as possible, like username, email, creation date (very important since some users go back over a decade!) and whatever else I can take along. User avatar?

Thanks,

Many of my members are Japanese. Is there a way of offering a per-member UI language option. So, for example, English speaking users will see “Post” and Japanese users would see “書き込む” (post in Japanese in the UI?

Barring that, is there an easy way for me to edit the string resources to make them bilingual, in a way which won’t get lost during an upgrade?

Thanks,

Hi – the order of forums in the Forums List widget seems arbitrary and does not sort by alpha (a-> z) or by forum id (lowest -> highest) … accordingly, is there a way to force the order to appear alphabetic ..??.. i have tried using Parent Forum ID to “0” and then to “any” but both give same result of random listing of titles …

perhaps these forums are listed by most activity or posts ..??.. currently i have a default install (using latest WP and bbPress) with only one forum with some dummy data so maybe this is a setup thing – meaning it gets wierd showing list if no data ..??.. either way, i’d still like to force an alphabetic listing (a-> z) … accordingly, big thank you for any pointers that can be shared … cordially, chuck scott

Hey there! Just as the topic says

I’m looking for a plugin for WordPress or bbPress that will allow my forum users to create an image showcase.

I feel like they’re going to use it a good bit, as the site in question is all about collections of glass art.

Is there anything out there that will serve my needs? Does anyone know? I know that vBulletin has an addon that allows users to do this, and I believe phpBB does as well.

Working on converting the forums over. If you post anything in the next 24 hours, it won’t get converted. We don’t have an easy way to “close” things here, so leaving open if anything urgent comes up.

I need to set up a Message Board for use by a NFL fan base whose club I run.

Specific Info- We’re a major city group of about 500 fans who would like a place where the conversations are public but where we are able to only allow our own members to join. This could be on either side of the process- we could either have an “invite only” with emails to our people allowing them to sign up using the existing email we have for them, or we could open it to the public and work backwards by eliminating anyone we don’t know, obviously the former would be far easier to manage.

The other thing that we intend to do is require that each user post either a picture of themselves in their profile that shows publicly, or a link to their Facebook page. We don’t want any anonymity on this Message Board is we want our members to recognize who in our club they are having a discussion with.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated-

Thanks

Is there a way to replace the contents of the author page (when one clicks on a user to see the profile) with the bbp_user page?

To be precise–if a link directs me to …/?author=n, I want it to go to …/?bbp_user=n

Thanks!

I updated to 2.1–and am getting

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘*wp-contentpluginsbbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/loop-single-topic.php’ (include_path=’.;C:php5pear’) in *wp-includestemplate.php on line 392

everywhere! How can I revert to the previous version as soon as possible?

Thanks!
