Create a new loop / Display a forum without shortcodes

Published on May 23rd, 2012 by kennymcnett

This seems simple, but I can’t for the life of me find it documented (I’m probably just missing it). Any help from the community would be much appreciated.

How do I show a forum using php, without using do_shortcode(); ?

Also, how can I start a new loop to fetch a specific forum’s contents? I think it’s with BB_Query, but I can’t figure out the syntax.

Thanks in advance,

Kenny

Any ideas. Latest version of both bbpress and wp

Changing Default Length of Forum Topics

Published on May 22nd, 2012 by johnnysomething

I changed the default length of forum topics (bbp_title_max_length) in bbpress’ core-functions.php, but it seems to have no effect on the length of topic titles. What I’m wondering is if there is some function in Genesis Connect that may be overriding this change, or something else that may be conflicting? Or any other suggestions? Thanks!

Error: Creating default object from empty value

Published on May 22nd, 2012 by maxe___

When I enable the wordpress plugin, I get the following warning:

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-extend-akismet.php on line 693

I think it might be an Issue with PHP 5.4

I have running debian with PHP 5.4.0 an Apache Webserver

Regards, Max

How to display user profile info inside wordpress author.php file

Published on May 21st, 2012 by iTHINKSOLUTIONS

I’m trying to create the author.php file inside wordpress to display user’s profile, latest blog posts and user’s forum activities. Using the snippet below just returns empty data for each user. I’m sure I’m missing something in the snippet and hopefully someone could point me to the right direction.

<?php do_action( 'bbp_template_notices' );

// Subscriptions
bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'subscriptions' );

// Favorite topics
bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'favorites' );

// Topics created
bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/user', 'topics-created' );

?>

Thanks.

custom recent activity column

Published on May 21st, 2012 by deathbybear

hey everyone – i’m a newbie at wordpress, bbpress and php – but pretty decent with general html/css stuff.

i’m working on customizing a bbpress installation with the twentyten bbpress theme and want to set it up so on the main “Forums” page there is a Recent Activity column that displays information about the most recent post –

1. the topic the post was made in

2. the poster

3. the poster’s avatar

4. how long ago the post was mad

i have edited the loop-forums.php file to add the additional “Recent Activity” column to to the list of Forums – now I just need to figure out how to pull those pieces of information into the column.

i have created a placeholder column in loops-single-forum.php file where the information will be pulled, i just don’t know how to get it in there – i imagine there are existing functions i can call to pull this data, i just don’t happen to know what those are or where to find them!

any guidance you could give me would be greatly appreciated. thanks a lot!

New Topic Form Shortcode Issue

Published on May 21st, 2012 by ThePopularizer

I’m trying to implement a “Quick Post” box using the New Topic Form shortcode,

You must be logged in to create new topics.

, but it seems non-admin users cannot post using the form (it says, “You cannot create new topics at this time.”). The same users can post a topic by actually going into the forums, so I’m wondering what the issue might be.

The website URL: capital.businesses.org.nz

It’s a subdomain installation of a multi-site network (businesses.org.nz), which in turn is part of a multi-network installation (using the ‘networks for wordpress’ plugin).

Renaming 'Topic' to 'Ticket'

Published on May 20th, 2012 by cutproductions

Hi,

How can I rename Topics to Tickets in BBPress? I have renamed the tags as such but would like the actual topics heading to read Tickets.

I also notice on this message system you have a sub menu ‘not resolved’, ‘resolved and ‘not a support question’, which is something I would also like to include.

I am trying to build a Project Management and Support system that includes tickets. I already have a general forum function via Buddypress, so I created a secondary forum page called tickets and included the shortcodes to configure it as a ticket system.

I have looked around the net and here extensively, so forgive me if I have overlooked something obvious.

Thanks in advance.
