here is the javascript that updates the textarea, maybe tinymce renames/overwrites it? i’m not sure. i’ll install it and see if it is anything simple

previous_content = jQuery("textarea#reply_text").val();

jQuery("textarea#reply_text").val( previous_content + data );

where data is the quoted text.

also i notice bp-tinymce does hook on add_filter( 'bp_forums_allowed_tags' this may cause another problem with extra html i add for bbcode (strike, cite, u, etc….)

[chembro303]

@etiviti you rock. Thanks for your speedy replies.

I’ve had your forum extras installed for a couple days and things were fine. I just tried to install a TinyMCE plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-tinymce/ – which works great as well.

Unfortunately with BP-TinyMCE activated the Quote function no longer loads any text in the comment box. It just changes to “quoted” but that’s all that seems to happen.

Do you know what’s causing the conflict? Is it something you can change or is it a problem with BP-TinyMCE? I *need* a way for my users to format their topics so if it comes down to it I’ll just leave Quote deactivated…but it would be cool to have both. Perhaps if you get it working you can include BP-TinyMCE in forum extras?

Read this post I made on the bbPress forums:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-vs-buddypress-or-in-addition-to-it-a-newbie-has-questions#post-65097

Yes, bbPress is necessary if you want group forums.

You might want to read this post by Boone Gorges as to what he did to transfer an existing bbPress install into BP:

Another bbPress to BP guide is available here:

I think I might add this to the FAQ

the function explicitly appends a div around the sig when called – although only if a sig is saved against the profile. but also check if the sig per-person per-page option is enabled (maybe it was already displayed on the current page?)

[thecorkboard]

I’m looking at my source code and am not seeing <div class=”signature”></div> wrapped around my sigs.

Here’s an example of a post:

<div class="post-content">

<p>signature line couldn’t be installed.  reported: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/new-plugin-buddypress-group-forum-extras/page/2?replies=46#post-43269</p>

I do see this thrown into my header:

<style type="text/css">#item-meta-signature { margin-top: 50px } .signature { width: 75%; padding:5px 0px 0px 5px; border-top:1px solid #ccc; font-size:90%; color:#444; }</style>

[rich! @ etiviti]

you can download the group forum extras – but you don’t have a need for all of that. this code snippet will enable wp shortcodes on post content

add_filter( 'bp_get_the_topic_post_content', 'do_shortcode' );

We don’t really need two threads regarding your plugin, foxly, especially as they are both recent and are still being posted to. You’ve got https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/bp-album-new-features-requests-and-discussion and this one. Please try to keep your discussion together in the future. Also, in the future, we’ll have BuddyPress Groups working on this site and you’ll have your own group and you can do what you want in it

[Andy Peatling]

I’m working on a new version of this site that will automatically create a group for every new BuddyPress plugin that appears in the repo. This means plugins will get all the functionality of BP groups – a forum, activity stream, a list of members who are interested in the plugin, etc etc. I’m also going to add a donate page, which should help out a bit.

This has been held up a little right now because I’m trying to get the new upgrade/install wizard done first. This will allow BP to use WordPress pages instead of hacking with root components. It’s all bits of the jigsaw that need to be put in place before I can continue. Hopefully by the end of the month I should have at least the first iteration of the site close to completion.

[rich! @ etiviti]

Can you please wrap the signature in a <div> with a special ID or class so that we can style it appropriately?

Right now it just looks like part of the forum reply.

i kept it the same as _ck_’s for external bbpress, so it should be:

<div class="signature">

but the css style is hardcoded into her plugin

i’m all ears for a better way so that anyone can style it.

[rich! @ etiviti]

One thing I did track down is that forum extras is conflicting with

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-field-template/

(other than bp probably the most important plugin I use and the best in it’s class) Allows me to easily create my own custom meta boxes on a per post_type basis.

a quick look at the plugin and reveals the problem i had earlier with wpmu and creating new blogs/admin. Seems some plugins call require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/template.php'); outside of WP_ADMIN (in ‘init’ action) which will causes a function conflict with bp-internal-bbPress. I’m not sure if I have a solution for this – might be a wait until bbPress is a plugin (so they can resolve the naming conflicts)

A hacking the core solution would be wrapping the checked and selected functions in /wp-admin/includes/template.php and wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-forums\bbpress\bb-admin\includes\functions.bb-admin.php

if ( !function_exists('checked') ) {

if ( !function_exists('selected') ) {

However the buttons do not appear on Group wire or when sending direct messages of one user to another.

One great improvement for the future could be adding images straight from our computer, instead of using a URL.

That is expected behavior – this only modifies stuff in the group forums

as for uploading – that would be more of an album plugin to handle the process and hosting – this is just basic bbcode

Are you able to edit the signature admin items now?

I am not sure how to enable display_errors, reporting.

I am running wpmu 2.9.1.1

One thing I did track down is that forum extras is conflicting with

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-field-template/

(other than bp probably the most important plugin I use and the best in it’s class) Allows me to easily create my own custom meta boxes on a per post_type basis.

[victor_moura]

How can I know if I’m on wpmu or single?

I installed BuddyPress using Simple Scripts. not sure if this helps…

[rich! @ etiviti]

seems the problems i’m hitting now are conflicts with calling internal bbpress and some functions having the same name on the wp side of thing (or now just wpmu). so i need to know if you are on wpmu or single

also try enabling display_errors and error_reporting and see if that provides any fatal errors

[Anointed]

I am using bp 1.2.1, hope to test and upgrade to 1.2.2 later today.

I installed and activated forum extras 1.5, and then turned on signatures. Went into bp admin and clicked enter for signatures so that the info was in the db.

The problem I have is then any bp related page is blank. What is really weird is there are no errors being reported on the server logs like normally happens with a white screen. I have checked all the server logs, php, general, etc…

This has been going on since forum extras 1.3. I had a white screen back then and did not try to upgrade or run forum extras again until just now.

I can provide server login info if needed for troubleshooting, although with no errors in the logs, not sure how much that would help.

It’s no emergency or anything as I was not really planning on utilizing the current forum extra tools, but was more waiting for your ‘multi’ forum plugin add on coming later.

[rich! @ etiviti]

tagging the fix now

I also enabled the ability restrict the sig html tags – strip_tags syntax <i><em><a><strong> and bbcode. only caveat is using bbcode converts to em, so make sure <em> is in the list of allowed tags.

Thanks, etiviti! I will be checking this page for updates. It is good to hear that this is not related to a bad installation or something I did not configure right on my side.

When you have a new version, should I disable and then delete the plugin and install the new version?

I have a similar problem on the sig admin page (I’m using version 0.1.4):
