Forget to specify that this plugin works only for group forums, not standalone or general forum

[danbpfr]

@aminima I doubt you’re “the world” 😀

Anyway here’s the link to upload the plugin.

Note that you probably will have to adjust a little bit your template, to have a clear access to the topic mover menu. In some situation it overrides a bit the group menu… Don’t  remeber exactly, but some div and CSS adjustment will to the job.

Provided as is. No support.

Aha, thanks!

I will disable some plugins, though I don’t have caching yet.

When you say the java script is failing, what does that mean?

Thanks R-a-y!

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

I don’t think we’ve tested it, but there’s no harm in reporting what seems to be a genuine bug.

[modemlooper]

You have been answered by @r-a-y in your other post. Closing this thread. Please refrain from posting multiple times with same topics. Also it’s bad forum etiquite to bump topics that are this old.

[nickzee]

Thank you Paul.

I don’t have a “page” called “forums”. That is what the forum archive links too.

I don’t know why, but I am more confused then ever. Perhaps if I share what I want to achieve, someone can tell me how to achieve it.

I want:
Forums have to be precedent (and sidebar), like buddypress.org/support/ (no archive)
The ease of use, such as this forum. Ie; Forums divided into subjects and topics in those forums.
The functionality of buddypress. Ie; user member profiles and such.
And the two to work together.

I know this is possible, but wrapping my mind around what settings to disable/enable and what slugs to use or not, are out of my league. Today, I have spent 5+ hours trying to configure, yesterday, at least that many hours or more.

thank you for the help. Not sure why it’s so difficult to grasp.

[Kevin.Bowser]

@beingblissful I understand. Thanks for your encouragement. I was able to get it working to some degree. We will see how it goes from here. I will keep researching and see what other templates might prove to be the right solution for my blog.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the tip about starting a new topic for my post – will do now and include the specifics of what I need help with 🙂

Hi Kevin,

Not really comfortable to chat personally at this point. In fact, not really comfortable to publicly bag Salutation theme either!  First time ever for me to speak so negatively about something I invested in online.

Certainly some people have managed to get the theme working well so for those who have good understanding of Buddypress and BB Press, it’s an excellent option. There are just a lot of holes that need to be filled in for newbies and the support forum available through Salutation leaves much to be desired for the total beginner.

Yes, the video tutorials are great! And I did find much help there. However, once again, it’s assumed that you already have a thorough understanding of Buddypress and how it works. I don’t so was often left feeling confused and uncertain about to create exactly what I want.

One more thing on Salutation – I originally contacted their theme support via email to request professional support – almost 2 weeks ago. I got one email response back 5 days later saying they would pass it on. I have heard nothing from them since hence me posting for professional support here at Buddypress 🙂

I wish you much luck, Kevin! I’m sure that you’ll find the perfect solution very soon 🙂

[SydneyDesigner]

Thanks r-a-y. Have you seen the same problem then? I just want to make sure that it is a bug before I post a bug report, so I don’t waste the developers’ time.

[r-a-y]

I do not have experience with the Salutation theme; I would ask the theme developer if they’ve added specific bbPress styling / templating to the theme.

But according to beingblissful, the theme is hard to work with.

[Kevin.Bowser]

r-a-y,

Thanks for the input. I “sorta” have it working. But it is not working like I have seen it working on other sites. So, I am still concerned about the ability to roll it out on my new blog in a few weeks when it is ready.

Do you have any experience with the “Salutation” theme that @beingblissful is utilizing? I am contemplating purchasing that one.

[r-a-y]

This sounds like a bug with bbPress and how it supports BuddyPress groups.

Please post a bug report at:

Sign in with the same credentials you use here on bp.org.

[SydneyDesigner]

Has anyone managed to turn on the new bbPress forums in legacy BuddyPress groups? (….including legacy BuddyPress groups which didn’t have an old-style forum?)

Or is this a bug?

[r-a-y]

Just tested your registration page on IE8 and it shows up without that message.

Are you using some caching plugins?  If so, disable it or whitelist the registration page from being cached.

Also try purging your browser cache for IE.  One other thing I noticed is the javascript is failing, which prevents me from using the captcha service you’re using.

[r-a-y]

Can I suggest we update the guide to include a note to ‘check your bp-config.php file to confirm the table prefix’

Good call, daneglerum.  I’ve updated the codex article.  Feel free to update it yourself!  Anyone who has access on buddypress.org should have access to edit any article on codex.buddypress.org.

[r-a-y]

I cannot get the link to open in Chrome. But it does open in IE. I have seen those instructions before. But in step 4 the screen capture shows 3 options under bbPress. It shows “Settings”, “Deactivate” and “Edit”. I do not have those options. I have “Network Deactivate” and “Edit”.

The link to the codex article I provided does not have any screenshots.

I can’t even get the Forums menu to show up on the menu bar.

This is a bbPress issue.  You have to create your own page for Forums.  When you create a new page, make sure to add one of the bbPress shortcodes to display what you want (you’ll probably want to use [bbp-forum-index]).  Then, add your page to your theme’s custom menu.

[r-a-y]

If you’re planning on sticking with older versions of WP, BP and Group Email Subscription, you might as well modify the Group Email Subscription code to remove the links for your own use.

If you want to do this without modifying the Group Email code and you are familiar with WordPress filters, hook into these filters:

‘bp_ass_new_topic_content’
‘bp_ass_forum_reply_content’
‘bp_ass_activity_notification_content’

And write your own functions to remove the links in the content.  This will not remove the email footer links.

Hope that helps!

@beingblissful I would like to chat with you about your experience with Salutation. I am about to purchase it and institute forums and migrate an existing blog to a new domain that I purchased. I was really drawn to Salutation because of the look of it and the video tutorials make it look so easy. My problem is that I have not been able to get forums to work at all as described in WordPress or BuddyPress documentation. I would like to chat with you if you have time. If you do, please email me your contact info privately and I will reach out to you. My email address is kevin.bowser@live.com.

I tried to send you this as a direct message, but to no avail. Maybe I am just not destined to use BuddyPress???

Thanks,

Kevin

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

@nickzee If you’ve still got a Page called “Forums”, delete it. It’s not required and confuses bbPress.

/members/admin/forums/ shows a filtered view of the forums for that specific user. We use bbPress 2 on this site, so my list of forum topics that I’ve started are listed on my profile, https://buddypress.org/community/members/djpaul/forums/

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

@me9 bbPress is a forum, BuddyPress is a social layer for your website. Different things, different uses.

[Amin]

@Chouf1 could you please upload the plugin you’ve built? The world really need it!
Thanks in advance

[nickzee]

Thank you Paul. I have this same conflict. Understanding the best set up for my situation. My struggle is knowing the difference and how to use them.

I’m using The Bounce Theme from themeforrest which is buddypress friendly. (http://themeforest.net/item/bounce-professional-wordpress-buddypress-theme/2324726?sso?WT.ac=category_item&WT.seg_1=category_item&WT.z_author=GhostPool)

Can you elaborate a bit more on your last comment? It opened a window of understanding for me.

My current set up is:
Settings > Buddypress > Components > Unchecked “Discussion Forums”
Settings > Forums > Forums base “forums”, Forum slug “forum” (although I would like my own names)
Settings > Forums > Unchecked “Enable Group Forums”

From here can you explain how to set a landing page so that it looks like site wide forums (“mydomain.com/forums”)? Ie; can see all forum at once, then enter a forum to see the topics, then enter the topics to see the comments. I can find them if I go to a bbpress forum and click “view” (ie; /forums/forum/forum-rules/) then remove “forum/forum-rules/” to just have “mydomain.com/forums”, but that is not a “page” and cannot be “edited” and by default says, “Forums Archive – mydomain”. ( I think I know this but want to see your way)

Additionally, if I am at my buddypress profile page (admin) and click “forums”, it takes me to /members/admin/forums/ which seems to be different from /forums/forum/. And when it does it shows topics and not the forums I created in bbpress.

I’d imagine there is something I have missed.

Thank you Buddypress for the hard work you have put into your products!

This is a bbPress question; for best support, please ask on the http://bbpress.org support forums. Thanks!

@beingblissful Hi, I don’t think many people saw your message, since you posted in the middle of someone else’s thread. It might be a good idea to start your own topic, and let us know what you’re having trouble with.
