I want to create a new user role on my forum, as a basis for fiddling with the private forums plugin. Essentially I want to be able to give some users on my forum a specific role (in addition to ‘member’) that will allow them to access specific forums without giving them mod/admin powers. I’ll need more than one new role (it’s for a Guild Wars alliance forum, and each guild needs to have its own private section).
I’m fairly confident as to how to modify the private forums plugin to enable what I want – all I need to know is how to create the new user roles to enable this.
I’ve managed to establish that add_role is the bbPress function I want, but (knowing absolutely no php) I have no idea how to use it. Can anyone help me out? Thanks 
I have BB en WP sharing the same database, but loggin in/out is only possible through WP…
The configuration is as follows:
WordPress address: http://www.some-directory
Blog address: http://www.some-directory/blog
BBPress is installed in:
http://www.some-directory/discussions
Of course, $bb->wp_siteurl and $bb->wp_home are set correctly.
Stange thins is, that when I use a trailing slash after the $bb->wp_siteurl address, I can logout once via BB, but the logout only affects BB and not WP. Furthermore, logging in again is still impossible from within BB.
Might it be, that I need to set some cookie paths?
Thanks,
robert.
A member has requested all their posts be deleted.
Is there any way to do this without going through each one? She does not mind her user account being deleted as well, though I don’t imagine that matters for this purpose.
I doubt there is a way, but thought I’d ask.
I suspect I’ll end up writing this one too (it’s getting a bit exhausting) but has anyone written a plugin so members can give other members “karma” points for posting a good post?
I don’t want to reward users simply based on their number of posts as they will make meaningless posts just for the points.
Hey guys,
I’ve been googling about this for a while now and cant seem to find a solution. If I want to do an SEO rewrite with Rewriterule that causes the file to be written up one level…
(the equivalent of browser-side linking “../”)
how would I do that? for example, I have
Rewriterule ^profile/ etc etc
What do I do..
“/profile/”?
“../profile/”?
“$/profile/”?
No idea really.. any thoughts on this would be great. I basically want it to go up one level and ignore my forums directory..
so instead of /forums/profile/ its /profile/
Hello,
A few silly questions:
Changing or adding hot tags. Whats the procedure?
Looked through dashboard and can’t seem to find how to change or add new topics. Forums can be added but don’t know about topics.
Last query: Again I ask about the changes made to structure in the html. I looked through all files and found nothing. Many scripts I have used in the past have one file called index or something that can be access to the html. Just creating or changing the style sheet does not allow for the changes I want to make. I like the default but some changes to reflect my website is key.
Excuse the lengthy text, but I find looking through the documentation much like chasing my own tail. Thanks to those who have replied to earlier queries. I have made some changes and it looks good so far.
When a user posts a reply in a multi-page thread, it brings them to the second page. Why is this and how can I fix it?
My forum, http://urbanvelo.org/bbpress, asks users to “register or login” every time they visit, even though they’re already logged in. Anyone want to venture a guess as to what I screwed up to make this happen?
Thanks in advance.
I want the users’ “favorites” page to show the entire post of each of the favorites on that page, not just the title as a link to the post.
Is this possible?
Good day,
Is my bbpress username and password the ticket to get the Akismet id? If so, is worpress.com the site I go to? Tried it and could find nothing. Find it frustrating to have to ask for answers that should not be made so hard to find. I’m sure more difficult situations lie ahead! Thanks…RJ
