I would like to be able to separate Members from spammers and put them on a listing so they will not be able to keep registering under the IP and email. Also this being the second forum moderation for this forum changeover from vbulletin. Though registration is supposed to be moderated by me somehow not all registrants are going through the approve and reject form.

I have been moderating this forum for more than two years this new switch is not much of an improvement on the old. I cannot get spammers IP’s until they post which is pointless even if I could as I cannot use this info. I used to submit to stop forum spam and get ahead of the game at times by having popular spammer IP’s listed. In any case I do have an IT for the forum but I don’t get much help so any upgrade would help as I can forward it on and make them implement it. Essentially I would like to delete all my banned persons and keep their information on a set up that would bar them access when the try to register and limit the amount of letters in email addresses to 15 and the username to 10 as I have previously. I have 500+ registrants and only 200 of them are legit members I need to get rid of them otherwise members will not come as I don’t know if members can see them but I can. If anyone can advise me I would love some help as I am a volunteer.

Thanks Stella

Hi All,

I own a web business and am now using bbpress 2.0 and buddypress together.

I’m a bit confused about the Forum; but for now can display the bbpress one.

However, I woudl rather have the buddypress forum; because it looks so much nicer in

it’s appearance (group forum).

But the problem is, with buddypress I cannot add new topic.

What is the matter, and how do I fix?

I am adding a number of new options to bbPress and want to add the user inputs to the bbPress options page. Instead of messing around with the default options page, I simply want to add a few tabs to the page where I can add my options.

I do know how to do this when writing my own page from scratch, but do not yet know how to add tabs and options to an existing bbPress options page.

example of what I am talking about:

http://digitalraindrops.net/2011/02/tabbed-options-page/

Can anyone point me to a plugin, or code snippet that would show me how to extend the bbPress options page with tabs and options?

thnx

I’ve been following the trac ticket https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17144 where we are now able to bring the editor to the front end of our sites. Seemed like a perfect addition to bbPress.

Has anyone come across a good tutorial on using the new api?

Hi All,

I own a web business and have sucessfully installed Bbpress.

Please tell me if there is a way to order the “posts” in the Forum?

Link is: http://buddy.focusonedesign.ca, although I am still working on it.

Many thanks.

Hi,

I want to upgrade from 1.x standalone to 2.0 plugin version.

Is there documentation for how to do this?

Hey all!

I am trying to make my dream-setup:

One multi-site with six sites.

The main site has bussypress1.5 with bbPress2.0.

I can;t get this to work… Is there already a tutorial on how to do this?

At first I tried installing BuddyP. and then activating fora and installing bbPress in the process; enebling it network-wide. But then the bbPress-fora show up on the dashboard of every site.

Now I tried to enable bbPress only on the site I want to use it, but it generates conflicts with the Buddypress installation. I get this error:

“The forums component has not been set up yet.”

(also, on a side-note; BuddyPress can only be configured on the dashboard of the Network, not only on the site I actually want to have it running on, but that seems to fit maybe more on the BuddyPress forum).

I’d be gratefull for any help or step-by-step guidance here!

I’m using SEO by yoast to handle my breadcrumbs. When my forum pages load this seems to inject the output of the forum breadcrumbs into my own breadcrumbs and breaks the logic.

If I remove my function then the forum logic’s breadcrumbs work great.

I have my logic in my header.php file and would like to keep it there due to the way my layout is built and would prefer to not have to include it on a per page basis.

Is there a condition i could put to not show my own breadcrumb logic on ANY forum related page? so it inherits the bbpress breadcrumbs?

I tried

if !is_page_template (‘forum.php’) and it didn’t work.

I have a page template for my forum in a file called forum.php

thanks in advance

Hi,

Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted

to string in G:xampphtdocswp-contentthemesdailyfunctions.php on

line 240

Hello,

On my current homepage, I was displaying 3 comments at a time per blog post by using the following code :

<?php

$number=3; // number of recent comments desired

$post_id = get_the_ID();

$comments = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_post_ID=$post_id AND comment_approved = ‘1’ ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT $number”);

?>

<?php if ($comments) :

foreach ( (array) $comments as $comment) :

echo ‘<div class=”ddcomment”>’;

echo ‘<p>‘, comment_author() . ‘ says:</p>’;

echo comment_text();

echo ‘</div>’;

endforeach;

endif; ?>

This code works perfectly in displaying my comments on the homepage. However, I’ve decided to add bbpress forums and sync my topics with my posts.

If you add a reply now to a post, it is not reflected on the homepage comments (since it is a reply from bbpress, not a wp comment). I am trying modify this code so I can pull the correct replies for that particular Post or Topic ID, since it is now synced together.

The site is currently located at http://www.propaintball.tv

Is there a specific database query I can use to replace my $comments variable with the topic replies? Thank You for your help!
