I have tried many times but at my end forum coming out ok, each time every time

[p][/p] is a known bug and still needs to be tracked.

[pb1285n]

Well it didn’t fix the formatting issue and I’ll have to wait and see if it fixes the vanishing forums, but thanks.

EDIT: nevermind, they are still disappearing. Thanks for trying though, any other thoughts?

[talk2manoj]

Try by deactivation vipers-video-quicktags plugin.

This should really be in the readme, forums are a huge part of social networking, and I will be developing a tightly integrated BuddyPress and bbPress application over the next few months. I’m sure you will see a lot of questions from me, and I look forward to helping out along the way.

Hi Milan,

Thanks for the code. Where would I paste this code to allow me to show the 5 topics on my default buddypress home theme (guessing I would have to create a widget?)

[notme31]

Attention Site Admin: Group forums require the correct setup and configuration of a bbPress installation.

((((

ok, i started from 0 again, its my 4th day trying to make it work, 8 hours day, I am FRUSTRATED, now:

bbpress alpha 6

BP 1.0.1

wordpress mu 2.7.1

I followed ALL the steps in this post (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=471&page=5), I know them by heart already, users are shared in bbpress and wordpress, if i log on as admin in wordpress i am logged in also in bbpress, cookies seem to work but….

…still not able to create a group with forum, nothing is updated in bbpress after creating the group, i think its because of cookies but I did ALL as commented so I am REALLY lost ((

so bbpress alpha 6 doesnt work for me, i tried rc1 and rc3 also

[notme31]

i hope, its the most difficult installation ever

after expending 4 days to integrate buddypress bbpress and wordpress mu with no luch it makes Drupal easy

[notme31]

ok, now when i log in in wordpress i am logged in bbpress, but still cant create a group with forums enabled

and now i can say i dont have any idea of what more to try (((

[Milan Kaneria]

Yes I got my template running just fine.

Here is the code I use to show 5 recent topics across forum:

$topics = bp_forums_get_topics(0, 5);



if ($topics)

{

foreach ($topics as $topic)

{

print '

<div class="home-box-item">

<a class="home-box-item-link" href="' . $topic['topic_uri'] . '">' . $topic['topic_title'] . '</a>

by ' . $topic['topic_poster_display_name'] . '

Freshness: ' . $topic['topic_time_since'] . '

Posts: ' . $topic['topic_posts'] . '

</div>

';

}

}

else

{

print '<p>No topics found.</p>';

}

If you want to show topics from a specific forum then you can pass the forum ID parameter like this:

$topics = bp_forums_get_topics(5, 5);<br />

PS: Sorry for late reply.

When bbPress goes 1.0, all will be well.

[thestasi]

Doesn’t matter. Had a coffee and installed 0.9.0.5 instead of the 1.0-rc-3 and it worked like a charm.

[thestasi]

Hi Manoj,

How can you tell? I though the buddypress was installed correctly. It did take me 2 go and I was happy with it. I thought the next part was where the error was.

Thanks,

[talk2manoj]

@ thestasi : It seems even your BuddyPress not setup properly. So please go one step at a time

[Mike Pratt]

Apologies if my reported problem is the same as this one: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3306 . They seem related.

[Tracedef]

I’m using bbpress alpha 6, you may be pushing the envelope using the RC’s you mentioned.

Also, 2.7.1 and BP 1.01

[Jeff Sayre]

If you are just on a test site with no data that needs saving, then do a fresh install of everything–this means WPMU and also creating a new MySQL DB.

If not, then as this is WPMU issue and not BuddyPress, the proper place for this support request is on the WPMU forums.

[Jeff Sayre]

I reckon as much as 25% of my users are using ie 6

Well, based on the most recent browser statistics, you have an unusual group of users!

It is very difficult to optimize a theme design for IE6. Are you using a custom theme? If so, look at the header.php file that comes with the default BP theme and make sure that you’ve included the calls to the ie6.css files.

Also, here’s a thread that about IE6 issues that may help out: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2262#post-14161

I said this in another thread about IE support:

Getting themes of any platform (not just WordPress) to work in all versions of IE can be frustrating and tricky at best, impossible at worst. I would focus on optimizing your users’ IE experience on IE8 and IE7. Some designers are not even supporting IE6 anymore. I wouldn’t even worry about IE5.5 Of course, this is only my opinion.

[notme31]

at least it semi works for you )))

which versions are you using? bbpress 1.0.rc-1?

I use bbpress 1.0.rc-3 and doesnt work and i dont know where to dowmnload rc-1 !!!

do you have the file?

[talk2manoj]

I am using bbPress-1.0-RC1 and everything seems to be working fine.

[Tracedef]

I have the integration set up but each time a new group is created I have to repeat step 8, I have to uncheck and save “enable forums” and then recheck and save again for forums to work…. is this normal?
