No afraid its not possible currently to force users to enter at least one tag...  its probably possible using our api and the post class to create such a requirement, but it would need writing...  same for predefined list of tags... the api would probably let you hook in an and a new button, but again code required...

if you are trying to force a tag from a predefined list, perhaps you should look at the topic status plugin for sp...  it lets you define a set of statuses (could be tags) that a user can assign to a topic when its created...  I think (would have to check) you can give it a default status too (if not, then cannot force as is either, but again api would allow customization),,,

Hello, Ike,

I'm back with another question. I'm not sure if this is Simple Press related, I think it might.

As you can see in the first image, my menu bar is set up so that the link to the page where I'm at (in this case, forum) will have a light grey box.

Beside "Forum", which is the my main forum page, is "Secondhand", which is also a forum listed in the main forum page.

The problem I'm experiencing is that when I go to "Secondhand" forum, both "Forum" and "Secondhand" in the menu bar lights up (only "Secondhand" should). Please see the second image.

Before using Simple Press (awesome forum and support!!!), I tried bbPress, and this did not occur. Only the "Secondhand" link lit up when I was on the "Secondhand" forum page. As a result, I think this might be Simple Press related. 

Any thoughts or suggestions will be very much appreciated!

 

Cheers,

Jean

To be honest I have no idea.. I don't know how bbPress displays but it could be that SP only displays on one WP page, so technically if the first button is highlighted for having forum-2 open, the first and second buttons are highlighted for having forum-2/二手交易/ open..

But that's just a guess, are you using a plugin for your menu? are there any odd options?

Hello, Ike. That's what I suspected, that SP displays forums on only one page. bbPress displays each forum on its own page. The menu I'm using is Ubermenu, and it's set so that background of the link of the current page is grey. So i guess both links turn grey when i'm in the secondhand forum is natural.

 

Hello, Mr. Papa, 

My setting on forum is:

and for display page title is:

It is preferred that only one link turns grey when i'm at the secondhand forum page, but if two turn grey, it won't be a serious issue either :)

 

Thank you both!

Jean

Hello, Ike!

I've worked with the forum for a bit, and I find your codes very well structured and commented! It was easy for me to understand! I've got a few more questions on tweaking the forums, and hoping you can help. Here goes.

(1) I want to remove "Home" (the link that links to the homepage of the website) from the breadcrumb. I found that I can do that by going to simple-press>forum>content>sp-common-view-functions.php and comment out the Home Link section (lines 1570-1574). I was wondering if there's a way I can do this without editing the files from the plugin? I have a Child-theme created based on the Default theme. 

(2) When in ForumView, can I remove the link to "topic first created" Please see

(3) When users are not logged in, at the top and bottom of ForumView and TopicView, there's the icon that tells the user that they cannot post/reply/create topics because they're not logged in. How can I replace that icon with just text or replace it with another image? Please see

(4) Finally, last time I asked about changing background colour for pinned topic. You mentioned that I can also change the font color. I've tried adding "color: red;" to the codes you have me, but not all text got changed into red. How can I change the rest to red? or Just the title of the topic is fine as well. Please see

I'll tackle the Featured topics and posts later. That seems to be a much bigger project when it comes to formatting!

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,

Jean
