How do I display bbpress topics from a specific category in wordpress?

I read over _ck_’s method, but still have no idea: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-show-bbpress-info-inside-wordpress-without-full-integration

Is it ‘done’ to choose usernames with spaces? I’m just looking at this forum homepage, and I’m the only one who has chosen one, which is also why I have a problem with links from Post to my Profile on my own discussion board, even though it works for users who have an unbroken string as a username. Obviously, looking at the URL’s it’s the space that stops it being found, but given that the system (both, in fact) allowed me to choose a username with a space, is that no reasonable? Givem that it’s functionally possible, it would be poor to say to my subscribers to not use spaces.

Here’s the example of posts where link to my profile doesn’t work, but the link to another (non-spaced) user does;

http://wholelifewholeworld.com/forums/topic/ilp-practice-session-2912010

And here’s the change I made to the post.php code, putting in; `<a>”>

<?php bb_get_profile_link(post_author()); ?></a>` – is this not the best/quoted way to do this?

<div class="threadauthor">

<p><strong><a>">

<?php bb_get_profile_link(post_author()); ?></a></strong>

<small><?php post_author_title(); ?></small></p>

</div>

Thanks,

how can i add new translations to

http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/he_IL/

?

Hello. I am lost; I’ve been scouring the internets for a few days to no avail.

I thought what I was looking for should be quite easy, but I can’t find it.

What I need is a forum-less forum, where all topics would be displayed according to date (kind of like the view inside a forum, or the “latest topics” in bbpress), with tags and/or categories for easy search.

All the forums I find are multiple-forums by default. I can’t find one that allows me, if I set a single forum, to display the topics only.

What would be even more ideal is a forum that doesn’t make a difference between a topic, a post, and a forum. Anything could be replied to, and nested, to infinity. But I guess this really doesn’t exist.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I’ve just been following this instruction – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-custom-profile-fields (and as per https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/add-new-fields-to-user-profile#post-14767) – to create a plugin of my own to add a couple of extra fields for my post/edit post, as per ardentfrost’s instructions.

I’m not overly familiar with php so wonder if anyone can see what is wrong with my code. The plugin I created for myself, which I’ve uploaded to /forums/my-plugins/jbs_own_plugin.php is as follows:-

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: jbs_own_plugin

(etc….)

*/

add_filter( ‘get_profile_info_keys’, array(‘user_email’ => array(1, __(‘Email’)), ‘user_url’ => array(0, __(‘Website’)), ‘from’ => array(0, __(‘Location’)), ‘occ’ => array(0, __(‘Occupation’)), ‘interest’ => array(0, __(‘Interests’)), ‘extra’ => array(0, __(‘Extra’)))

?>

And when I try to activate it in bbPress plugins I get;

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /var/www/vhosts/wholelifewholeworld.com/httpdocs/forums/my-plugins/jbs_own_plugin.php on line 13

I’ve tried it with one less ), and with ; after, and a couple of other combos, but can anyone see what I’m doing wrong please? Just want to add a few extra fields that people can fill in from Edit profile and have displayed on the Profile page.

Also, I found out I don’t actually HAVE a functions.php page in bb-includes at all, so that is slightly worrying me (though everything else is working okay).

Thanks,

James

Hi,

I’m adding a toggle switch on categories for my forum, but they need to each have unique ids or something along those lines in order for the toggle to talk to each individual category.

Any ideas how I could do this? Here is the code I have for the toggle.

<script>

$(“.toggle”).click(function () {

$(“#box”).slideToggle(“slow”);

});

</script>

Hi,

I have bbpress 1.0.2 installed on my site. I recently tried to install bbpress 0.9 on my site as well.

(I did this because my registration emails were not working on bbpress 1.0.2 and I wanted to install a plug-in that allowed immediate password assignment upon registration, thus by-passing the need for emails. This plug-in only works with 0.9, so that’s why I installed it.)

However, after initially configuring 0.9, I receive an error message : “Could not determine site URI” (http://polina-such.freehostia.com/bbpress0.9/)

I contacted my host, and they said that the bb-config-sample.php files are different, which causes the problem with the installation. They pointed me back here, to the forums, for help.

So my questions are:

1) Is it possible to install two versions of bbpress in one site?

2) If so, how do I configure the second bb-config-sample.php file?

Thank you for any assistance!

Robert

I find your main article on bbPress + WordPress integration seriously lacking (it cost me an hour of puzzling and experimentation). Once I got it, it was a 10 minute job. Suggest you update with this article:

http://wordpressacademy.biz/2009/12/installingintegrating-bbpress-and-a-script-install-of-wordpress-into-the-same-database-for-sharing-users/

Jane@wordpress (who i love) has just written a new blog:

https://wordpress.org/development/2010/02/buddypress-for-one-and-all-3/

buddyPress now works with singe installations of WordPress (rather than MU), and has most of the backPress nonsense taken out. It now also fits into your theme automatically, AND can be administered from the WordPress admin panel.

I don’t know about you, but i think that sovles the 3 most common issues people ask about on this board.

Given all the hacks that Andy and the buddyPress team had to make to get bbPress1.0 into buddyPress, and given that they’re unlikely to do it again for 1.1 (as the functionality added is already in buddyPress thanks to WP functions), does anyone else feel like they’re wasting their time here?

My plugins are installed, but they are not showing up in the Admin panel under Plugins. I keep getting the message “No Plugins Found.” Also, at the top where it says, “All, Active, Inactive, Autoloaded” I can see that there are 9 active plugins, but when I click the Active link, it still says “No plugins found.”

I can see that my activated plugins exist in BB-Press and are working. But they don’t show up on the list.

I just uploaded a new plugin and I can’t activate it because the plugins list is gone.
