Everything Caregiving

How would I accomplish this?

Published on February 25th, 2015 by darkoned12000

Hello Everyone

WP Version: 4.1.1
BBP Version: 2.5.4
Theme: Enigma Pro
Site Link: http://forgingfriendships.com/community

I have bbpress setup and forums made with descriptions. And here is what I would like to do visually with main forum page if possible.

If you check out the forum area on my site. I would like to take only the ‘Friends in the USA’ and ‘Friends around the World’ category areas and on the forums listed under them I would like to display them without descriptions and show them in a list format. The list format would be something like rows of 10 set side-by-side. Basically trying to reduce the footprint of the forums in how much you have to scroll the main forum page to see everything.

I don’t want to remove the descriptions completely because I want them available to the user if they click on the forum and they open up the new page. And I only want to remove these specific forum descriptions from these two category areas and leave all the other sections and descriptions the way they are now.

Is this possible?

Thanks for any help on this.

Forum Not Styling

Published on February 25th, 2015 by aaron2310

http://www.battle-bridge.co.uk/forums/

I just installed the plugin and created the forums but it doesn’t appear to be styling. I’ve checked in the coding and it doesn’t look like it’s reading the bbpress css sheets. This is the second custom theme I’ve used BBPress on and my first site didn’t have the same issue. I don’t believe I’ve done anything different this time around.

Any advice?

How to modify css in BBPress in general

Published on February 24th, 2015 by pfeufer

Hi,
I am using a WordPress child theme, Flatsome. I simply want to adjust minor things like button text sizes, different colored bars, text, etc.

In Google Chrome, I am able to inspect a element and change it’s style in the inspector window, but where do I paste the modified css code? The modified code does not work in the child theme’s Appearance/Edit window when it is pasted there.

I also tried to copy (not move) the bbpress.css file into the Parent theme’s css folder, but the code still does not work. I also tried to place the bbpress.css in the Child theme.

My questions are:

1. Where do I place the bbpress.css file? In the Parent theme or Child Theme? What folder?
2. Where do I paste the modified css code within the BBpress.css file? Anywhere?

Below is code that I adjusted to suit my needs. It is code for a “submit” button on the Forum page of BBpress in my theme:

.userwall_delete_post >button:hover, input[type=”submit”], input[type=”button”], input[type=”reset”] {
-webkit-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 7px;
-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 7px;
border-radius: 3px 3px 3px 3px !important;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 12px !important;
padding: 10px !important;
text-decoration: none;
}

Thanks for any help!

Best,
John

Add retina support to the replies avatar

Published on February 24th, 2015 by lflier

Someday, somebody is going to get this 2x retina thing figured out so that it’s automatic across WordPress. Until that day, we have to do it ourselves.

The general approach is to serve a double-sized image to the browser. So, if you want an 80px avatar in your topic replies (the standard size), you need to serve up a 160px avatar in order for it to look sharp on a retina screen (i.e. iPad, Android tablet, retina MacBook Pro, or one of those delicious new 5K iMacs). And as Joe Jackson says, “You gotta look sharp!”

So, how is this accomplished? Well, in the template.php file of bbPress, there is a function called bbp_get_reply_author_link(). This is the function that gets the avatar, and it comes with the following arguments:

	function bbp_get_reply_author_link( $args = '' ) {

		// Parse arguments against default values
		$r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array(
			'post_id'    => 0,
			'link_title' => '',
			'type'       => 'both',
			'size'       => 80,
			'sep'        => ' ',
			'show_role'  => false
		), 'get_reply_author_link' );

The argument we want to change is the ‘size’ argument. As you see, the default setting is 80. We want it to be 160. We can change it by changing a single line in the loop-single-reply.php file, which you can locate in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/. In the stock theme, the line reads:

		<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>

We want to change it to:

		<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'size' => 160, 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>

And that’s all there is to it. As long as your CSS specifies a width of 80 (or whatever you prefer), you won’t see any change in the size of the avatar in your browser, it will just look sharper on retina screens. You won’t notice any difference on standard resolution screens and, unfortunately, there is a price to be paid in the size of the image that is served to those screens. Ideally, WordPress/bbPress would know what resolution screen it is serving to and set the image size on the fly. There are some plugins that do this for site images — Jordy Meow’s WP Retina 2x is a good one — but they don’t work for avatars yet. See this support topic for more discussion.

There’s just one more thing you’ll want to do. If you haven’t already done so, create a directory in your theme folder titled “bbpress”. Then make a copy of the file you just changed and place it in this directory. This file will override any file with the same name in the bbPress plugin directory. So, when you next update the bbPress plugin, you’ll retain the functionality you just created, because even though the plugin files are all replaced by the new version, the file in your theme directory will still be there.

I hope this helps everyone look sharp!

Hi
I have a WP with BuddyPress and bbPress. I have also installed BuddyPress Forum Notifier.
When user posted in a FORUM, it will be shown the following message:

Warning: Missing argument 4 for BP_Forum_Notifier::reply_mail_subject() in /homepages/9/d390074253/htdocs/soysotenible/wp-content/plugins/bp-forum-notifier/includes/notifier.php on line 343

If user does click in the BACK BUTTOM in the navigator, page show the post as NO PUBLISHED. But if user REFRESH the page, the post will be shown as PUBLISHED.

In addition I tell you the following:
The users receive the notifications in the toolbar bubble, but when user does click in the notification and visit the FORUM, notification no disappear. In order to do disappear the notification, user must to mark the REPLY like READED.
Is that normal?
With the other notifications (group, comments and message notifications) when user does click in the notification, the notification redirect the user at the page with the post and the notification disappear.

I am not informatic and I don’t speak english very well…
But I need know what I must do in order to resolve these problems.

Thank’s very very much for your support.

Use bbPress not as forum software?

Published on February 24th, 2015 by Shmoo

Just curious if someone could help me here..

I would like to use bbPress but not mainly as forum/support software, what I like to do is use the Forums function as categories to create structure and navigation on my site and the Topics functions as kinda ‘posts’ – the Replies function will not be used. I will remove that part from the template files.
The main reason why I want to use bbPress for my site is the Subscribe and Favorite functions.
Default members of the site can subscribe and favorite topics ‘posts’ and receive email notifications when they change content. That’s the most important feature I would like to use out of bbPress everything else I will customize to my liking.

The only thing that worries me is the performance of bbPress.
What if my site holds 15.000 members, 25.000 topcis ‘posts’ and let’s say 5.000 members subscribe to a single topic-ID. How will WordPress/bbPress handle the outgoing emails to 5.000 people will this increase the performance a lot?

Thanks,
