bbPress.org

any scheduled date for the upgrade?

Hi,

I’m new to bbpress, so please excuse this if I’m overlooking something obvious.

I’d like to change the forum display hierarchy so that categories are displayed at a higher level and all forums under the category as displayed separately under that category; instead of one area for all forums under a particular category to show total posts and topics, I’d like a section for each forum.

Hopefully I explained that adequately. Thank you!

I am enthusiastic about bbPress 2.0, but I am severely missing the ability to restrict access to specific, named forums.

Public / Private / Hidden separation of access is not sufficient for my purposes. I need to have the ability to grant different users access to several distinct hidden forums.

I’ve been scouring this board and the WordPress plugins section for something that is bbPress 2.0 compatible and so far had no luck.

Is there something obvious I’m missing? Any core functionality in the works to make this happen? Any plugins doing that already?

In a nutshell, this is what I need:

Users A,B,C can see Hidden Forum #1.

Users C,D,E can see Hidden Forum #2.

Users A,B cannot see Hidden Forum #2.

Users D,E cannot see Hidden Forum #1.

User C can see both hidden forums.

Administrators can, of course, see any hidden forum.

My site has recently been attacked by a lot of spammers. Fortunately the Bozo filter takes care of 90% of them. But the deletion process is very tedious, because after confirming that you want to delete a Member, the software automatically takes you back to the home screen, and you have to do everything over again, going into USERS, filtering the Bozos, etc.

Is there a way to “Select-All” people that are filtered as Bozos, and to delete them all at once?

So, Intense Debate has a plugin that works/syncs with WordPress comments. Would something like this ever work with bbPress?

A key feature of it is “reply-to-thread by email” which would be killer for bbPress

OK, I am way behind the times as I just found out about the bp skeleton framework with the plugin.php concept.

My understanding of how it works is still quite basic but if I get it right, a setup like this means I can finally get rid of the extraneous divs like header/footer/sidebar etc from all the templates thus making themes work much easier in all themes.

Is there a skeleton plugin.php for bbPress available?

If so, could someone provide a basic example of how to get it working?

How can I manually activate plugins in 0.9 that I deactivated when trying to upgrade? Is there a config file somewhere, or in the database?

I tried to revert after the failed upgrade, and now I can login but I can’t reach the backend, I get sent back to the public home page.

Hello. I installed the plugin version of bbpress about a month ago, then I uninstalled it opting for another forum software. However, I changed my mind and I installed the bbpress plugin again, but the forum page is not appearing. The plugin installed fine and I also see the forum menu in the WP menu, but when I go to the forum it says ‘Not Found Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.’

Can anyone help me get this thing up and running? Thanks for your help.

How do I properly add the word ‘Pages:’ before the pagination loops?

Normally I apply a ‘before’ argument to functions like this, but it’s not working. My best guess is that ‘before’ or ‘after’ are not valid arguments for the bbpress pagination. I just need a simple way of making sure that the before text is only going to show up if there is indeed pagination links to display.

I am using custom theme templates from bbPress within my own theme. So no shortcodes or creating pages etc.

What I am trying to do is to show the list of most recent topics below the forum list on the forum homepage.

I am using the following code:

<div id="forum-front" class="bbp-forum-front">

<div class="entry-content">



<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-forum' ); ?>

<br><br>

<h3><?php _e( 'Recent Topics: ', 'bbpress' ); ?></h3><br />

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'bbpress/content', 'archive-topic' ); ?>



</div>

</div><!-- #forum-front -->

This seems to work, however, the pagination for the topics is wrong. Currently it tries to go to /forums/forum/last-forum-title/page/2/

It should go /topics/page/2/

Using the default bbPress templates within my own theme, what would I add to the archive-forum.php file in order to show recent topics with pagination that works right?

*I saw that devpress managed to pull it off, so asked over there as well.
