I have a fresh BP 1.5.1 install with the bbPress 2 sitewide plugin installed. I have tried a number of different configurations (ie installing forums through the BP installer, then adding sitewide forums and disabling the forum component, keeping the forum component installed and using the sitewide plugin, or simply forgoing the forum install in the wizard and adding the plugin manually), but wasn’t able to get the activity stream integration with any of them.

However, I was able to write my own hacked version of the functionality into my functions.php file and it works. I modeled my code off the /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-extend-buddypress.php file starting at line 399. Because I am basically copying the functionality of the bbp-extend-buddypress.php file, I am wondering if maybe the bbp-extend-buddypress.php file simply isn’t being called, or if it’s a larger issue.

For those that are having similar issues, here’s the code I put together (warning, it’s quite hacked together and may not work for everyone). You can follow the same model for a new topic post by using the bbp_new_topic hook:

function bpt_reply_activity($reply_id = 0, $topic_id = 0, $forum_id = 0) {

$reply_id = bbp_get_reply_id($reply_id);

$user_fullname = bbp_get_user_profile_link(bbp_get_current_user_id());

$topic_link = '<a href="' . bbp_get_topic_permalink($topic_id) . '" title="' . bbp_get_topic_title($topic_id) . '">' . bbp_get_topic_title($topic_id) . '</a>';

$forum_link = '<a href="' . bbp_get_forum_permalink($forum_id) . '" title="' . bbp_get_forum_title($forum_id) . '">' . bbp_get_forum_title($forum_id) . '</a>';

$my_content = bbp_get_reply_content($reply_id);

$reply_url = bbp_get_reply_url($reply_id);

$user_id = bbp_get_current_user_id();



$max_length = 500;

if(strlen($my_content) > $max_length) {

$my_content = substr($my_content, 0, $max_length);

$my_content = $my_content . "[...]";

}



$the_action = " posted in the topic ";



bp_activity_add(array(

'user_id'               => $user_id,

'type'                  => 'new_forum_post',

'action'                => ''. $user_fullname . '' . $the_action . '' . $topic_link . ' in the forum ' . $forum_link . ':',

'item_id'               => $topic_id,

'secondary_item_id'     => $forum_id,

'content'               => $my_content,

'primary_link'          => $reply_url,

'component'             => 'bbpress',

'recorded_time'         => bp_core_current_time(),

'hide_sitewide'         => false

));



return;

}

add_action('bbp_new_reply', 'bpt_reply_activity');

I’m using bbPress 2 sitewide forums with BuddyPress 1.5. I am using the bp-default theme and the bbp-twentyten default theme for bbPress. I can favorite existing forum topics, but they don’t show up in a user’s favorites tab in their activity stream/profile. When I click on the “This topic is one of your favorites” link, I just get redirected to the profile page.

Favorites in the activity stream itself are working fine.

Edit: specified using BP 1.5.1

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I first installed the plugin, after using the standalone version of bbPress, it appears as though some but not all of the posts on the standalone ‘converted over’ to the plugin. We still have the standalone live, as we work out kinks in the plugin, but how can I move the posts over to the plugin version?

You can see the standalone here: http://www.gogo-gringo.com/forum/

and the plugin version here: http://www.gogo-gringo.com/forums/

I hope to get some help ASAP.. I want to take down the old forum as soon as I can!

Thank you very much and thanks for all the hard work on the new plugin! (BTW I am using version 2.0.2 of the plugin)

I am wondering if there is a way with bbPress 2 to close forums to new topics, but allow users to reply to existing forum topics within that forum (or subforum). Ideally this would emulate the functionality of this bbPress standalone plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/read-only-forums/

Currently, closing a forum restricts users’ ability to create topics and reply to existing topics (including topics in open subforums).

I found someone else raising this issue in the WordPress forums, here, but wasn’t sure that it was the most appropriate place to ask the question.

Spam is hard to deal with in bbpress, WordPress itself does a much better job. For one thing, I would like to see replies to see if it is really spam, but it doesn’t seem like I can view it without marking it as “Not Spam”.

Also, I would like to see a “Delete permenantly” button in the Spam list for both topics and replies.

I think that bbPress also needs better notification, or a setting for “Topics/Replies must be approved the first time”. I had 20 topics that were spam that had showed up in my forums, but I don’t get much traffic, so I didn’t realize they were there.

My website has already installed WordPress 3.2 at mydomain.com/blog/. Recently I installed the bbpress 2.0 plugin, trying to set up a forum for my site. However, from what I can see, I can set up the forum as mydomain.com/blog/forums/. But what I really want to do is set it up as mydomain.com/forums/, which means I want to let the blog and fourm appear to be in separate and parallel directories (not one inside another). Can somebody tell me how to do it?

Thanks!

The are alot of facebook connect plugins, Im pertaining to this one: http://www.sociable.es/facebook-connect/

My problem is…

When you login to my BBP forum using your Facebook account, it will successfully logged you in. The problem is, When you try to view your profile, it will give you an 404 error bacause you are logged-in using Facebook. When you try to view other profiles that are logged-in NOT using Facebook, you’ll be able to view their profile successfully.

How do I solve this one?

I am working on a bbpress forum in a WordPress site for a client and it needs to be one forum only. the focus is to be on the topics list.

I’m using the bbp-twentyten theme.

Thanks!
