Only enabling users to message each other via admin-created private groups/forum

Published on December 4th, 2018 by astay87

Hi,

I’m hoping someone who knows bbPress inside and out might be able to help with this tricky request:

I’m trying to add a specific kind of user-to-user contact functionality to my site. Users should only be able to contact one another when the admin (me) opens up a temporary communication channel between two of them (could be a private group, forum, message system, I’m not picky).

Sort of like how Airbnb or Uber temporarily enable private two-way communication channels they can monitor between guest and host, or passenger and driver. Any ideas?

I’m happy to power this manually (creating a group, adding members, then deleting it later) but haven’t been able to figure out how to ONLY enable this type of contact and not let users contact each other outside of these admin-created channels.

Thank you very much!!

There’s a space sign before usernames in bbpress

Published on December 4th, 2018 by Foliferous

Hi people,

look here.

I noticed that’s there one space in front of “Admin” here:

This forum contains 2 topics and 2 replies, and was last updated by Admin 9 hours, 17 minutes ago.

You can also see it on the right hand side under “Latest forum posts”.

Best regards.

Issues with pagination

Published on December 4th, 2018 by darkoned12000

Hello Everyone

I am currently using WP v4.9.8 and BBP v2.6RC5
I have these plugins for bbpress installed: bbp_style_pack, bbpress moderation tools, bbpress advanced statistics

Currently on my forums I don’t seem to have pagination for topics or replies. I have set the forum settings to use Topics = 25 per page and Replies = 15 per page. But none of the topic or reply pages display any page numbers when it hits that threshold, is there a setting I am missing or something that I can try to get this working?

Pages render fine, but if the topic has 100+ replies it shows them all on that one page.

Thanks for any help on solving this,

Forum Index only displaying one forum

Published on December 4th, 2018 by writersabroad

I created a list of 5 forums some with sub forums and used the short code to display the index of forums on a page which I added to my navigation menu. Today it is only showing the first forum and none of the others. I’ve tried refreshing the page, renewing the page with the shortcode and gone back over some of the steps (I’ve been trying to remove a sidebar from the forum page) but nothing seems to work. All the forums are listed and I haven’t changed any of the settings within the forums…

I’m using the Ruby theme – but have tried it with twenty fifteen, sixteen and seventeen and the problem persists. I’m using bbpress Version 2.5.14 and the bbpress style plug in Version 4.0.3 which was updated today.

My site is not published as I’m still working on it, ironing out some of these issues.

Thanks for any advice

Sorting Forums

Published on December 4th, 2018 by manisharajput

Hi there,

How can I sort forums depending on freshness(dates)?
There is an option to sort topics by freshness in settings area but I would like to sort forums by freshness.

Please let me know how it can be done.

Thank you.

Localize Reply Date Stamp

Published on December 3rd, 2018 by dmalkin

Having a really difficult time figuring out a way to output topic reply time stamps in a users local timezone. I have a forum with global users and this is a necessity.

WP version: 4.9.8
bbPress version: 2.5.14

Currently using this plugin: Localize Time (https://wordpress.org/plugins/localize-time/)

I am wrapping the bbp_get_reply_post_date() with the shortcode [localize_time]; however, I cannot alter the format of the output date from the shortcode.

I need an alternate solution.

Only Allow YouTube and Vimeo oEmbeds

Published on December 2nd, 2018 by Wasca

Hi Guys

I’m having an issue in my forum where if some one pastes a URL (a link to another forum post on my site) it tries to embed a copy of that page into the the forum post instead of just displaying the URL string. I realise this is the oembed functionality kicking in, but I don’t want it to do that I only want video embeds from Youtube and Vimeo to work.

What can I do?

Adding link to you must be logged in to reply to this topic.

What is the best way to add login and a register link to “You must be logged in to reply to this topic”

I found this but I realized I cannot edit a code as I am very new to PHP.
Please suggest.

	<div id="no-topic-<?php bbp_topic_id(); ?>" class="bbp-no-topic">
		<div class="bbp-template-notice">
			<p><?php is_user_logged_in() ? _e( 'You cannot create new topics.', 'bbpress' ) : _e( 'You must be logged in to create new topics.', 'bbpress' ); ?></p>
		</div>
	</div>
