Download from WordPress Plugin Repo: BuddyPress Group Forum Extras

A collection of bbPress plugins to bring a little more forum feel to the group forums.

• Signatures (html tags are still limited to: a strong i )
• BBCode Lite (or option for Shortcode if internal only bbpress)
• Ajaxed Quote (requires theme edit on topic.php)

I’m also looking to add the following:

• Report Post to Mod (use notification/messaging system to group mods)
• Support Forums (run nongroup forums)
• Best Answer or bb-reputation (Karma)
• Signatures administration to include defines set of html tag or bbcode

Theme Edit is Required to use Ajax Quote

groups/single/forum/topic.php

Before the link:

<a href="#post-<?php bp_the_topic_post_id() ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Permanent link to this post', 'buddypress' ) ?>">#</a>

Please add this action:

<?php do_action( 'bp_forum_extras_topic_links' ) ?>

If you run an external bbPress – the bbcode subplugin will convert bbcode to html whereas the shortcode subplugin is for internal bbpress as it just hooks the wordpress shortcode filter on the post content. Also – the signature subplugin will use the same bb_get_option name as _ck_’s original bbpress plugin.

Please let me know about any issues and any bbpress plugin requests to convert

In this thread, I figured out how to make the default front page of the site be the Forums listing. Sadly, though, since doing that (with the method I outlined at the bottom of the first page), the forum index sunb-plugin is failing (silently).

my plugin looks for the forums component and will execute only on that page

remove this statement if ( bp_forum_extras_forumsdirectory_component() ) { in the plugin setup globals function.

Is there any way to get an RSS feed for this page:

to just to generate a latest all public topic rss feed?

[@rossagrant Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

I would love a very simple version of this future plugin which just gives you the option to report a post to the mod or admin.

Would a stripped down version or a version where you can just activate this feature be possible?

Also does anyone know if their is a bad language filter for BP? A customisable one where you can place your own banned words would be great too.

[@nuprn1 Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Actually, I believe a reporting feature is now slated for a future BP release

Hello,

not sure if this is a problem on our forum installation.. anyhow

we have over 51 groups with forums, however only 21 are listed on the index page..

and there is not paginating either..

best would be to have them all listed on single page

is there any setting i should look at?

[@nuprn1 Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

the index won’t paginate and it will only display public and/or if that certain user is a member of other private/hidden groups – at least that is what the logic is suppose to do

[@3sixty Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

I think rich is a little busy right now. I’ll try turning this into a plugin now. Wish me luck.

[@kriskl Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

thanks rich for reply,

well I was as admin a member of 61 groups/forums

but only 21 showed up,

for some strange reason which is investigated, we had to disable the plugin completely, something kept crashing the site

and forum index is a suspect

if that was a case, you may hear from my developers on the forums as they are trying to figure it out

[@modemlooper Moderator 14 years, 8 months ago]

Do we really need another plugin? This type of thing should be in core. Consolidating is better.

[@kriskl Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Could anyone (maybe rich!) add this to forum extras plugin? forum index..

please

Topic view count

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/adding-topic-view-count-to-forums#post-6659

there are some users who after we switched to buddypress forums.. keep asking for that,, old habits die hard

[@nuprn1 Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

@kriskl – can you message me whatever errors the forum index was producing (or at least what is happening to crash the site) but i’ll look over the filter stuff and make sure all forums are being returned. (maybe something is related when not returning the full set)

as for the move topic, new topics since last visit from @3sixty i don’t mind adding those in – just time hasn’t been favorable of late with looming projects before i head out on vacation.

as for the topic views – i’ll dig up _ck_’s old one and see if that can be easily moved over

[@stwc Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Hey rich

Tried out the activity-stream-comments inline in threads — very very nice. I’d actually disabled comments in the Activity stream on forum posts, because it fragmented conversation, but this brings it back together.

One note: in bp-forum-extras-activity.php on line 74, I added a new class post-list-activity (looks like it was just an oversight in coding, because there’s just a naked ‘class’ in there now)

<li id="activity-<?php bp_the_topic_post_id() ?>" class="post-list-activity">

so I could style the activity item specific to the forum, a little different from the way it appears in the Activity stream itself.

Just a heads up if you want to roll that into the next update (with whatever class name you see fit)…

Thanks again for these — really great stuff.

Hello,

I enabled “View Activity Comments on Forum Posts” in the backend and I edited the theme with the code provided. But when i go to the forum page to test if that works, I get this error :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDWHILE in /home/user/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/forum/topic.php on line 4

when I removed the “endwhile” it works but my sidebar shows inside the content’s div.
btw..I’m using the fishbook theme, can anyone help please

thanks

Could someone please please tell me how to make ajax quote work with tinymce? I need it to work i’ll pay someone

[@everton Member 13 years, 5 months ago]

Hi

I’ve just installed this plugin and the quote functionality so far. My theme adds the ‘quote’ button, but the quote doesn’t appear in the reply box. Can someone help me fix please?

Thanks

I”m so sad that this plugin isn’t being updated any more, I really like the activity stream comments in the forum posts, it is AWESOME, but since BP 1.5 upgrade, the ‘READ MORE’ link to expand activity stream comments doesn’t work when trying to expand them inside the group forum
