Just drop them into my-templates.</p> <p>The my templates folder should be 0755.<br /> The template folder itself should be 0755.<br /> The files in the template folder should be 0644.<br /> (well, that's what they are in my installation, by default, and they work)</p> <p>If those permissions are correct, then is it possible you didn't create a folder under my-templates? Should be something like:</p> <pre><code>my-templates (directory) -crystal (directory) - all the php and css for the crystal theme here -superbold (directory) - all the php and css for the superbold theme here</code></pre> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The other thing is that the style.css needs to have a line in it like this:</p> <p><code>Theme Name: Crystal</code></p> <p>If the Theme Name is not unique, I think bad things happen. At least you see what appears to be a theme of the same name in multiple places in the admin panel. I know <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Theme_Style_Sheet">WordPress doesn't like themes with the same name too much</a>, and I suspect bbPress is similarly picky.</p> <p>Please post when you find the solution because I am sure it will help other people.

You need to find out more about this stuff yourself. Unfortunately I don't have the time to coach you through the whole thing. The short answer is that if you are using Windows locally and don't have SSH (command line) access to your server, then you are probably out of luck. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/patch-categories-for-version-08/page/2#post-5710 Thu, 22 Mar 2007 02:16:44 +0000 maker 5710@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>how do I get command line access?</p> <p>By locally, do you mean do it manually? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/patch-categories-for-version-08/page/2#post-5695 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 12:03:16 +0000 sambauers 5695@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>It would be easier with command line access, or do it locally then upload the result. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/patch-categories-for-version-08/page/2#post-5694 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 11:50:48 +0000 maker 5694@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Well, that may be awhile - so this patch will do for now - if I get it installed! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/patch-categories-for-version-08/page/2#post-5688 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 10:37:03 +0000 sambauers 5688@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I'd recommend you don't use this patch unless you want to have to change your forums again when 1.0 is released.</p> <p>The way this patch works will be superseded in version 1.0 </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/patch-categories-for-version-08/page/2#post-5680 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 00:41:08 +0000 maker 5680@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>This is the first time I've tried to patch something and I'm at a bit of a loss.</p> <p>I'm using a linux server and I uploaded the .patch file to the directory 'bb/' then did a site command (my ftp program is called mifiles) and pasted 'patch -p0 &lt;categories-build719.patch' but I just get a 550 unknown command error.</p> <p>I have no idea (obviously). </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/patch-categories-for-version-08/page/2#post-5293 Thu, 08 Mar 2007 13:51:56 +0000 spencerp 5293@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Alright, I just went ahead and remove those two things.

Thanks for your reply Sam.. :)</p> <p>/So I guess this means I won't have to worry about styling the "Gathering theme for bbPress" with Forum Categories in mind.. ;) </p> <p>spencerp </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/patch-categories-for-version-08/page/2#post-5110 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 02:52:32 +0000 sambauers 5110@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Looks like there is some work going on to create "forum hierarchies" in the core. I think this will allow nesting of forums inside other forums. This has made some major changes to the files that were patched, so the patch will not work on the latest revisions. This patch solution will no doubt be deprecated by the changes being made now in core. I think that there was some resistance to adding another table to the database to perform this function, also the new solution will probably be more flexible, allowing for sub-sub-categories, sub-sub-sub-categories, etc.</p> <p>So we may have a category-like solution by 1.0 - Personally I'll be happy not to have to update the patch file anymore. I picked bbPress for my work, because it had modern features and a release-often ethos. The category patch filled a hole in functionality for me and a few others, it was a relatively quick hack - fairly brain-dead coding. So I won't be too sad to see it usurped. Hopefully, if anything, this patch helped make inclusion of this functionality a priority, and perhaps helped provide a UI implementation to use as an example (good, bad or ugly).</p> <p>I won't be updating the patch anymore, at least until I am sure the new hierarchical forum features cover that functionality. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/patch-categories-for-version-08/page/2#post-5087 Sat, 03 Mar 2007 08:13:22 +0000 spencerp 5087@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Sam, just curious, is there going to be a new patch for this added soon? After last big SVN Commit, the patch719 didn't work, it gave bad merge errors or whatever? </p> <p>I'm going to have to delete all my current forum files and folders.. re-svn it all up. Then, wait until a new Forum Categories patch is made sigh. I just wish this Forum Cat was implemented into the trunk soon, and updated as need be...

Cause I'm thinking, it would merge badly right? Or something might go awry right? </p> <p>Since the patch basically creates files/ applies changes to the specific files.. and running another patch, would/could just make things messy right?
