Same! This would be great with BuddyBoss theme. Thanks!

If you all can help me understand… Does BuddyBoss even use bbPress? I looked at the URL in the topic above and it looks like it’s using AnsPress.

If you can indeed use bbPress with BuddyBoss and it doesn’t work, can someone please send me the code so I can look through it and test it out? You can email it to natekinkead at gmail dot com

Yes. Buddyboss Platform is a fork of Buddypress/bbPress with some extra refinement from the Buddyboss team. The matched Buddyboss Theme is an optional paid theme that keeps up-to-date with the platform. I will email more. Thanks!!

Has someone tested if it works?

It would be a really nice feature to have

@jesusinica Yes, I tested (again just now) with BuddyBoss and as far as I can tell, it doesn’t work. Probably broken by a customization in BuddyBoss Platfrom or BuddyBoss Theme, but it would be awesome to solve this.

@natekinkead I sent you an email a while back. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help out with testing, research, etc. Sidebar: Congrats on releasing your Pro version!

I’ve already posted an issue in the official repository a while ago but the developers there have other priorities apparently. I’m emailing you the theme package @natekinkead and thanks a lot for the great work so far.

I’m planning to use your plugin for the implemention of a direct democracy and it’s about the best one I’ve found so far for that purpose.

“If you all can help me understand… Does BuddyBoss even use bbPress? I looked at the URL in the topic above and it looks like it’s using AnsPress.” – Buddyboss is a fork of BBPress so they share the same codebase. It is not related with Anspress even though it could be used alongside. The idea is to provide a platform that encompasses BBPress along with most of the basic functionality required for a community website so we no longer have to rely on a plethora of separate plugins to get the desired result.

Instead of adding functionality as a BBPress addon the developers decided to make modifications directly to the code instead for the reduced overhead on the long run. I’m not sure how beneficial that is but I think it’s quite a justifiable decision despite the occasional conflicts that will arise as it distances itself further from the original codebase.

Hey, guys! Thanks for your support by sending me information on BuddyBoss. I was able to test it out and developed support for voting on the topic/replies screen.

Update to bbPress Voting 2.0.1 to get the new BuddyBoss Theme support.

The one place I could not implement it was on the topic list screen. The template file for this screen has no action hooks for me to use.

If you want to modify your theme file to make it work on that screen, you can edit…
\wp-content\themes\buddyboss-theme\bbpress\loop-topic-list.php
… and add this on line 5…
<?php do_action('bbp_theme_before_topic_title'); ?>

It would be nice if the author of BuddyBoss could include this hook so people don’t need to modify theme files.

Anyway, please let me know if you find any issues after updating. Thanks!

The $broad_enable variable is showing up as undefined in frontend.php at line 180. $this_post_type is actually being assigned as ‘page’ so it’s not being caught in the switch statement right after and a quick fix for now is to add case 'page': at line 167. Feel free to come up with something better in the next update and thank you again for this awesome plugin.

Also, when replying to an existing reply, “”Up0Down” shows up in the title of above the text editor with zero denoting the number of votes. It is actually inserted within the quoted text for the message being replied to. I’m not sure how to fix it for now so I’ll let you handle it @natekinkead.

@ziadj, thanks for the feedback. I fixed these issues and released them in version 2.0.2.

With the post_type issue, I couldn’t use the post_type of “page” because I needed to know if it the post type is a forum, topic or reply. So, I fixed it by detecting which filter hook was used.

With the Up0Down, there was no clean way to fix this because the BuddyBoss theme uses javascript to get the contents of the reply container, yet the only action hooks they offered were inside of the reply container. So, without modifying their theme, the only way I found to fix it was to add some javascript of my own to execute after theirs to remove the “Up0Down” using regex.
