Create a Group

go thru the wizard procedure and tick create a Forum for this Group

complete the wizard.

 

Go to the group forum and create a Topic

Can you see the topic you just created?

It is listed but the topic is blank  (Actually it contains an error string but you can’t usually see this)

This happens on both my local install and the demo site.

Is something Broken? 🙂

Update:  The error message is…

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_id_from_slug() in ..htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-forums\bp-forums-functions.php on line 178

Curious.

Because group forums posts are clearly working here.  This is one!

Hang on!

For most users, we recommend bbPress. bbPress is more flexible, more robust, and more actively developed.

On a default installation, Commons In A Box disables BP’s Discussion Forums component and enables bbPress. If you’re setting up your community site for the first time, you’re all set up, and you won’t need this guide.

This is a BP forum error.

I thought we were using bbPress?

I’m gonna have to go have a look at that dashboard again.

Update 2:

The answer is that the BP Discussion forum is may not be disabled as it says in the documentation.

If you encounter this problem simply disable BP forums by following these simple steps:
Disable BuddyPress’ Forums Component

In the WP admin dashboard, navigate to “Settings > BuddyPress“.  Click on the “Components” tab.
Uncheck “Discussion Forums” and save.

@Group Admin:  You may want to check that BP Forums is disabled in the current distro.  🙂

[FIXED]

Hi theBadger,

Glad you figured this out!

You’re correct that the CBOX demo site is running an older version of CBOX.
@cbox_admin, another ping! 🙂

Hum, doesn’t work for me, regrettably. The Discussion Forums option in the buddypress settings was already disabled, still I only see sticky posts from other forums but no topics created in my groups on my own cbox page.

That happens to me on a freshly installed cbox 1.0 installation.
