Hi.
I am looking for a wordpress theme to offer freelander services. I would like to have a system by which users can ask for a quote to all or some of freelanders.
I think that if i can create a forum with some categories depending of freelander works, where freelanders would be subscribed, users can go to desired category/thread and there ask for a budget/quote of a work they need to do.
Users can subscribe to this category/thread clincking in “Notify me of follow-up replies via email form” and, in this way, they can wait for freelanders answer with a budget.
I think that all freelander answers should be private, so only the user that asked for a budget can know the answers.
I have a forum that is broken down by many regions on a map. Each region has a forum category. Does bbpress or a plugin have a feature that will allow me to create a new forum and apply to to all parent categories? Like instead of selecting the parent of my new forum, I could place a checkbox next to each parent I wanted it attached to?
If this isn’t yet possible, please throw this into the suggestion box 🙂 Thanx!
I’ve narrowed this down to bbpress and have read up a load of suggestions but none seem to work and I can’t get rid of this error message which leaves the rest of the admin page blank.
The message I get is:
Notice: bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 2.3.) in /home/xxxx/public_html/home/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3901
Followed by
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxxx/public_html/home/wp-includes/functions.php:3901) in /home/xxxx/public_html/home/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1171
The first message I understand is a noted bug which I can ignore.
The second appears only when bbpress is activated (even with no other plugins activated on a new 4.5 installation of WP is there).
I’ve checked /wp-includes/functions.php and there are no spaces at the beginning or end of it (as suggested on another thread as a possible cause) and likewise /wp-includes/pluggable.php has no spaces.
What else might be causing this error and can I do anything about it?
Many thanks for any help here…
I installed bbpress 2.5.8 and then imported an old forum from Kunena 1. This had about 10,000 posts and some 42,000 users.
I then set each user as a PARTICIPANT.
However, the majority of these users are spam and I’d like to get rid of them. The simplest way I thought would be to get rid of those who have never made a post.
I thought if I used the tool COUNT TOPICS FOR EACH USER and COUNT REPLIES FOR EACH USER it would show a number next to each user and then I could simply delete all those users who’d never posted anything. However, ALL users remain at 0 posts despite the fact that some of them have most certainly posted.
Is there a way to update the number of posts a user has made so I can definitively remove those with zero posts?
Thanks!
My site www.nasgp.org.uk has some users who create blogs for me, but for last few months they’ve been unable to sign in. We use the CherryPress theme.
We’ve just found the solution – deactivating the bbPress plugin!
We’ve not actually used bbPress yet (waiting for developer time…), although would like to soon.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
I’ve added the nickname field to profile so people can add it.
Now I need it to display on the topic and replies under bbp-reply-author.
Everything I’ve tried shows username. Is there a way of tweaking to below to nickname?
<?php $user = get_userdata( bbp_get_reply_author_id() );
if ( !empty( $user->user_nicename ) ) {
$user_nicename = $user->user_nicename;
echo "@".$user_nicename;
} ?>
Hi all,
I hope you can help me. I am trying to create and attach a bbp forum automatically after a BuddyPress group is created.
I have “unset” the BuddyPress group creation steps, and only the “group settings” step remains.
I have been digging in bbp code to try to reproduce the forum creation process, and this is what I put together (though it is not working):
<?php $bbpforum = new BBP_Forums_Group_Extension; ?>
<?php $bbpforum->__construct(); ?>
<!-- Reproducing parts of public edit_screen() -->
<!-- Reproducing fieldset return -->
<?php $_POST['bbp-edit-group-forum'] = true; ?> <!-- this comes from the edit screen; this form field is sent -->
<!-- end of fieldset return -->
<!-- start of edit_screen_save -->
<?php
if ( empty( $group_id ) ) {
$group_id = bp_get_new_group_id();
}
$create_forum = true; // Changed this to true (there was a switch structure down and I kept the true case only
$forum_id = 0;
$forum_ids = bbp_get_group_forum_ids( $group_id );
if ( !empty( $forum_ids ) )
$forum_id = (int) is_array( $forum_ids ) ? $forum_ids[0] : $forum_ids;
// Set the default forum status
$status = bbp_get_public_status_id();
// Create the initial forum
$forum_id = bbp_insert_forum( array(
'post_parent' => bbp_get_group_forums_root_id(),
'post_title' => bp_get_new_group_name(),
'post_content' => bp_get_new_group_description(),
'post_status' => $status
) );
// Run the BP-specific functions for new groups
$bbpforum->new_forum( array( 'forum_id' => $forum_id ) );
// Update forum active
groups_update_groupmeta( bp_get_new_group_id(), '_bbp_forum_enabled_' . $forum_id, true );
// Toggle forum on
$bbpforum->toggle_group_forum( bp_get_new_group_id(), true );
?>
It is placed in create.php, right after the create group form submission entry.
As you see, I have erased the wp_nonce_field functions and the associated admin_referrer functions to avoid the “Are you sure you want to do this?” screen.
If it is not clear, please, let me know what else would be needed to try get the automatic forum, and of course, if you know a better and easier way of doing it.
Thank you very much!
Hello,
Please…it’s driving me crazy…
I can’t find the option to move a topic to another forum. I know this is an option on every forum I’ve ever seen in my life, yet I am not able to find it on bbpress to save my life. I checked for plugins and couldn’t find anything, only old forum posts from like 2009 with dead links.
I have a very organized forum that absolutely must have this feature, or else it’s useless. Did I miss something?
Thank you!
Hi, Can you please advise how to extend the Vbulletin importer.
I know the fields i want to get and where i want them to go. but i am unsure how to add this to the import routine.
Example is to get from vbulletin the user signature (which is a simple lookup to sigparsed field in the db by userid) and insert that into an xprofile field for that user.
Secondly i ahd an issue importing which i believe was because the mycred plugin adds fields to the user table. It might be worth adding some validation of the user fields as the insert is hardcoded with the default fields.
I ran the import from vbulletin again last week and although i had a couple of issues that we could overcome easily enough such as the freshness not being correct we had one major issue
a load of posts are shown as Anonymous posters instead of the actual user.
the user that the post should ahve been atrtributed to was imported fine. and even in one case the previous post had ben quoted with an @user and this links fine to the user that should have had the post.
I think this might have been caused by the import process not being run in one go. it stalled part way through and i had to run it again.
So my question.
is there any way to rebuild posts > user relationships?
