bbPress.org

I’m looking for a way to convert my Drupal 6.x Advanced forum to bbPress. On the help page for the Drupal 7 import module it says:

Note: This current implementation is for the Drupal ‘Out of the Box’ forums, if you are looking to convert ‘Drupal Advanced Forums’ or ‘Artesian Forum’ for Drupal create a ticket on Trac and we will see how we go.

Has anyone converted from advanced forum before or do I need to write my own import rule?

Hey guys,
i have the problem that moderators in my forum can assign/modify tags at all. According to the bbPress role they should be able to do so. The template checks whether tags are allowed (which is true, since normal users (=participants) and admins can successfully post tags). I tried to fix it with the following code:

function rub_fix_moderator_tags_capability($allcaps, $caps, $args){

	if($args[0] !== 'assign_topic_tags'){
		return $allcaps;
	}

	if(bbp_group_is_mod()){
		$allcaps['manage_topic_tags'] = 1;
		$allcaps['edit_topic_tags'] = 1;
		$allcaps['delete_topic_tags'] = 1;
		$allcaps['assign_topic_tags'] = 1;
	}

	return $allcaps;
}
add_filter('user_has_cap', 'rub_fix_moderator_tags_capability', 10, 3);

Not sure whether this approach is correct, since it doesnt solve my problem 😉 Also when i try something like echo current_user_can('assign_topic_tags'); in there as a check, the page doenst load anymore.
But also I´m a little bit clueless in terms of where to look for a solution. I created a somewhat clean install (just copied over the files, but new db) using the twentyfifteen theme, and there moderators are also not able to post tags. In terms of plugins I only have BuddyPress and bbPress enabled.
Has someone an idea where to start looking or how to approach this?

Hi BBpress,

I’m not sure why, but the Freshness author name is not updating to the newest post. The avatar updates fine.

It’s stuck showing the Forum creators name (in this case, being the Admins User name). What’s strange is that the Frehness name still links to the correct user profile.

This only happens on the Forum Index. It does not happen on the Topics or Replies.

Can you help me please?

Hi,
Please, how can I show about 5 recent topics in a page without pagination. I basically want to replicate the way Recent Topics currently displays on bbpress.org homepage on my site.
Thanks for your anticipated kind contributions.

Hi, I tried again to post this bug on track, but I got a “you have not ticket privileges”, so I’ll try to report it here since it can be a very general issue.

My blog is set with a permalink structure like %category%/%postname% WITHOUT a trailing slash. But on bbpress file ajax.php on function bbp_get_ajax_url() the url is generated with a trailingslashit( $wp->request ).

WordPress sends back a redirect whene there is a trailing slash and the subscription fails with an alert “undefined”. Removing the trailingslashit(…) everything works fine.

There is a specific reason for that use of trailingslashit()?

Thank you, Kasi.

Hello,

I have 2 inquiries:

1- I would like to know how to change buttons texts (subscribe, favorite, submit) in forums and topics lists?
2- How to change/remove some reply links (Stick , merge ..etc)

How can I do this on my child theme, is it by copying the php files to my child theme? if yes, which files are they? OR I should have a function file created by me to do that ?

Thanks

I’m using the Cafe Pro Genesis child theme and the latest version of bbpress. I would like to add a border to the text boxes on the topic and reply forms but can’t find the bbpress css in Genesis. Anyone know where to find it?

I know I will be hurt for this but I’ve looked through the docs and I seem to find everything after the part that says “To get your forum to show on a Page, do this…” I am sure I am missing it. Please point me close to the spot in the docs I need to be looking.

I’ve made a Forum page, and I’ve edited the Permalink to point to my forum, but it keeps removing the “/” ‘s when I hit OK.

My site is appletechtalk.com running WordPress 4.3.1 and the current version of bbPres.

When a user enters text into a topic box, the font color is a light gray and very hard to see. Can anyone tell me how I can change the text color for text in that box?

Thanks,

David

I have gone through the prior threads on this issue and I still can’t change the text in the Oh Bother box.

My site is appletechtalk.com. If you click on the Forums taband look at the bottom of the page, you will see the Oh Bother! text.

I have modified the feedback-no-forums.php file so that the text line reads “Please select a topic”. I thought that would be easier than trying to remove the box completely (which is what I would rather do).

I placed the file into my child theme. First I put it in the root of the bbpress directory and that did not help. I also recreated the directory structure in my child theme:

bbpress/templates/default

and that didn’t help either.

I am new to WordPress and bbPress as well as css and php files so I have a bit of a learning curve but I’m wondering if you have any thoughts on why this isn’t working.

Thanks,

David
