Forums that you check "Forum is Category" for become container forums with no topics and special CSS classes. I think that's a fine way to do it once you understand what's going on. It just seemed a bit weird at first because in the backend there isn't really any differentiation between category forums and regular forums. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-is-category-bbpress-10-alpha#post-18667 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 14:31:11 +0000 chrishajer 18667@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>My take on it (completely uninformed BTW) was that a category acts like a parent that won't have any topics in it. There have been requests in the past when creating multiple subforums to be able to skip putting topics in a parent forum (now called a category). It would just be a container for subforums.</p> <p><a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/520" rel="nofollow">http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/520</a><br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request-forum-categories" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request-forum-categories</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-is-category-bbpress-10-alpha#post-18659 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 04:19:39 +0000 keppy 18659@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I've been creating a new template to fit into my current WP install, and while doing so I noticed the new 'Forum is Category' checkbox in the forum management area of bb-admin. I tried it out on a few forums and noticed the different classes assigned and the 'bb_get_forum_is_category()' check in front-page.php of kakumei. I also noticed that you can't post topics to forums that you check as categories.</p> <p>So to get the point, is the intention here that you create forums, check them as categories, then create subforums of the category forum and theme things as you see fit with the different forum classes? Or am I misunderstanding the 1.0 implementation of categories? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-add-topic#post-18612 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 11:01:25 +0000 rpophessagr 18612@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>thank you!

I have everything nailed down except that I'd like to customize my installation to show categories like other forum software, i.e.:</p> <p>Category<br /> +Forum<br /> +Forum<br /> +Forum</p> <p>Category<br /> +Forum<br /> +Forum<br /> +Forum</p> <p>You get the idea I'm sure. I've searched quite a bit and found only some posts from a year ago where this was brought up and supposedly this is in the trunk now. Has anyone managed to do this to a current stable installation or know how I could do it myself? It seems there used to be patches that did this for old revisions and I thought about playing with them to try to produce the desired effect on the current stable version. Has anyone else tried that?</p> <p>I figure one option I _could_ use is trying out the current trunk (which I have almost up and running, got it installed but have an error that says it cannot find the uri) but I worry about stability.</p> <p>I'd appreciate some tips and tricks if anyone has any. The lack of organization isn't a deal breaker but it would be very nice. I don't feel like waiting until version 1.0 which I know will be a long way off and I don't want to try to cram together wordpress and another bloated beast of a forum like phpbb3. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request-forum-categories#post-16902 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 06:05:25 +0000 sambauers 16902@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Probably at the same time as WordPress 2.6 </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request-forum-categories#post-16874 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 01:55:39 +0000 emmegildo 16874@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>hey samba.. when will it be released ? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request-forum-categories#post-16863 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 05:54:41 +0000 sambauers 16863@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>1.0-beta will have forum categories built in. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/categories-in-0901#post-16862 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 05:53:50 +0000 sambauers 16862@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Categories will be available in 1.0-beta.</p> <p>They are available in trunk now - although trunk's installer is a little broken right now. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-request-forum-categories#post-16788 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:37:47 +0000 pftaylor 16788@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>There still appears to be no answer to this problem.
