Limit maximum number of characters in Topic Content TextArea

Published on December 16th, 2018 by tekgazet

I want to limit the number of characters in the Topic Content Text Area in bbPress to a maximum limit (of say 500 characters). How can I do it?

I tried to do it by using the maxlength attribute of textarea (bbp_topic_content) in the stylesheet file, but this attribute is not working (may perhaps be because this attribute was included in HTML5 version only). However, if I use this in Developer Tools in Chrome while inspecting the text area for Topic Content, it works fine; but that is only for testing and I am not able to make a permanent change by editing the source file or through any plugin.

Other two methods could be javascript to check on local machine the number of characters being entered, but I understand that this can easily be cheated by disabling javascript. Moreover, I am not fully sure how to do it.

Third method could be to use for action or filter hook. Can you please suggest me which hook to be used and sample code, if any?

Thanks in advance.

Create a forum which works like “Ask the expert”

Published on December 15th, 2018 by paperaino

Hi all

I know there are several plugin who make the trick but i wonder if there si a way to create one forum where registered user can make a question and just one user (admin or another role) provides the answer.

To be really didascalic, I have a forum named “Behaviour” and under it a subforum “ask the expert” where I would like that users who have an issue can make their question and the persone selected to manage that subforum will get an email and provide an answer

Thanks

increase font size

Published on December 14th, 2018 by ducrevit181

You have been a great help.

I read through and tried https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/

What I did,
1. installed Simple Custom CSS plugin – all ok
2. insert the below code. and changed the font-size: 1.1em; to 1.6em

#bbpress-forums div.odd, #bbpress-forums ul.odd { background-color: #fbfbfb; } #bbpress-forums div.even, #bbpress-forums ul.even { background-color: #fff; }

IF post is sticky or super sticky, then

.bbp-topics-front ul.super-sticky, .bbp-topics ul.super-sticky, .bbp-topics ul.sticky, .bbp-forum-content ul.sticky { background-color: #ffffe0 !important; font-size: 1.1em; }

but the rest doesn’t seem to work…especially
Number 5. Various texts

bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p, bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p { font-size: 12px;

I change the font-size: 20px

nothing happens. 

what did I do wrong? basically I wanted to increase font size for all forum section from 1 to 8. How please.

Thank you in advance

Split screen forum plug-in?

Published on December 13th, 2018 by bensmith916

I’m trying to find a forum plugin that’ll allow me to create something like the mockup in the link below. Basically split screen (right & left forum columns) seems to be the more troublesome feature to figure out. Any advice or ideas?

Responsive design on mobile (quoted replies)

Published on December 13th, 2018 by seanrowe

So I work as a web developer using wordpress, however I do not use bbPress on any of my sites currently. However I am a member of a forum that I really enjoy, however it severely lacks some elements of responsive design for mobile phones. I cannot say for sure it’s something directly related to bbPress, however being that bbPress is such a large platform I have to assume there is a solution.

The problem:

The problem is related to multiple quotes inside of a post. When a person quotes a reply that was also quoting a previous reply we get multple “quote” section before the new content. The result on a mobile phone is that the quotes get squished into single character per line so it looks

l
i
k
e

t
h
i
s

Is there a solution to making the previous quotes either hidden in a spoiler tag by default or simply show only the 1 quote per post on mobile?

Here is a screenshot of what I’m talking about: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DbJjmuCinBhP1yhprZXcNC_ZMz4gj-cT

P.S. I am not a developer on this website, but I thought I’d present a solution to the owner to help him out 🙂

P.P.S. I noticed he uses elementor as well, so not sure if that has any relation.

User Subscription gets lost

Published on December 13th, 2018 by wpturk

When a user subscribes a topic the notification works. But if Admin modifies the post (due ro spelling errors), after saving post the subscription filed shows (in backend) “No users have subscribed to this topic” and notification does not work anymore.

How can I correct this issue?
Is it possible to insert topic subscription to a user afterwards?

Forum reply does not trigger email notification

Published on December 12th, 2018 by mrwassen

Hi guys,

I am fairly new to the bbpress world. The issue I am having is that a user subscribed to a forum receives an email notification when a new topic is posted, but NOT when somebody replies to a topic.

I setup a brand new site with only bbPress and buddypress and replicated the issue there. My versions are:

WordPress: 5.0 (also an issue on v. 4.9.8 in the live site)
Buddypress: 4.1.0
bbPress: 2.5.14
Theme: Twenty Nineteen v. 1.0 (bundled)

I am unable to find any settings other than “Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics” in the Forum Settings which is ticked.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dennis

What addons do this??

Published on December 11th, 2018 by canadabri

I have given an honest effort searching to find out which plugins or modifications are needed.. not much luck finding these answers.

What bbpress addon is the wordpress support forum using to put the little check mark on a resolved topic? I did find a support plugin, but its not the right one.

And how is the styling accomplished in the forums there (and here) where you see the “Started by: <username> in: <highlighted forum name>”. I am also trying to get the Freshness column left aligned as opposed to centered in its column.
