So if you looped through the forums like on the front page, just fetch the $topics after each forum in the loop. The formatting and page layout is the "hard" part. burkie on "bbpress loop" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-loop#post-15780 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 22:29:50 +0000 burkie 15780@http://bbpress.org/forums/ While customizing bbpress I was wondering if anyone had a way to display forums/subforums and topics together, list a forum then have the topics for each displayed below it? rbarcelo on "Plugin: Forum Restriction" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-forum-restriction/page/2#post-15070 Sat, 05 Apr 2008 23:14:38 +0000 rbarcelo 15070@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I test this plugin in version 0.9.0.1 and 0.8.3 . I cant make work. Definitely not working. retrospec on "Private Forums Plugin" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/private-forums-plugin#post-14939 Thu, 03 Apr 2008 11:47:49 +0000 retrospec 14939@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I second that and suggest an additional option. I'm using private forums but it is lacking two things that would make it great and make bbPress more in line with other forums: 1. allow viewing to be based on class, e.g. I have a admin section that I only want admins to even know exists, but I also have other forums that I do want people to see but not necessarily acces, which leads onto... 2. allow the ability to reply to topics but not create new ones, e.g. you have fixed items (like, say a support forum) where people can post questions but not create new topics. affacat on "Private Forums Plugin" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/private-forums-plugin#post-14746 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 19:36:36 +0000 affacat 14746@http://bbpress.org/forums/ If you ever feel like upgrading this plug-in, here's a feature request: Make the specific forum private to certain user classes. I recently converted from SMF, where I had a number of 'secret' forums. These were were used for 'in-house' project discussions, not for your average user. I had to delete all these sub-forums from bbPress because they weren't for all eyes to see. I'd love to be able to set it so that only 'staff' can see a particular board, whereas most boards would be accessible by all.

So what I did was take my original Wordpress template and put it in the templates folder and it gave me this: <a href="http://vistarewired.com/test2/wp-content/bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://vistarewired.com/test2/wp-content/bbpress/</a> This is what I want except I want to center it, add some grey boxes behind it and that is pretty much it. How do I do this?

I think I misinterpreted integration but I needed it as well chrishajer on "Install finished but it's as if my forum doesn't exist" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/install-finished-but-its-as-if-my-forum-doesnt-exist#post-14499 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 03:46:37 +0000 chrishajer 14499@http://bbpress.org/forums/ What are you expecting from integration? Integration here means the user information is shared, that's about it. If you want your bbPress installation to look like your WordPress blog, there is more work to be done. I'm guessing that's what you're expecting: you want your forum to look like your blog? crazlunatic on "Install finished but it's as if my forum doesn't exist" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/install-finished-but-its-as-if-my-forum-doesnt-exist#post-14498 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 02:29:42 +0000 crazlunatic 14498@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I added the code but nothing changed: <a href="http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/</a> chrishajer on "Install finished but it's as if my forum doesn't exist" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/install-finished-but-its-as-if-my-forum-doesnt-exist#post-14491 Sun, 16 Mar 2008 01:37:27 +0000 chrishajer 14491@http://bbpress.org/forums/ crazlunatic: did you try it? That looks like what you need to do for integration, to me. Oh, except I think you need to do that before you install, so that your user tables are integrated. If you changed that after installation, install again. Integration next week will be different with the release of WordPress 2.5 and the latest bbPress 0.9. chrishajer on "Install finished but it's as if my forum doesn't exist" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/install-finished-but-its-as-if-my-forum-doesnt-exist#post-14490 Sun, 16 Mar 2008 01:36:20 +0000 chrishajer 14490@http://bbpress.org/forums/ rahul286: the false option always works for all servers. The other options work but require some configuration on your end. So, setting it to false is the quickest and easiest way to get going. It's not a problem with bbPress, it's a problem with configuration on a lot of servers. crazlunatic on "Install finished but it's as if my forum doesn't exist" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/install-finished-but-its-as-if-my-forum-doesnt-exist#post-14489 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 22:11:40 +0000 crazlunatic 14489@http://bbpress.org/forums/ That is great.

How can I do this? <a href="http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/</a> This is how I edited my config: // The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress. // If you're not, just leave it as it is. $bb->wp_table_prefix = 'craz_'; // WordPress table prefix.

The stylesheet should be here, but it's not: <a href="http://vistarewired.com/test2/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css" rel="nofollow">http://vistarewired.com/test2/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css</a> So, where is it really? I suspect the path in the config.php and the URL you are using to access the forum are not the same, and that's why you see the forum without any styling. Wait - it's actually here: <a href="http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css" rel="nofollow">http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css</a> So, in your config you called the directory <code>forums</code> but you actually installed it in the directory <code>bbpress</code>. You need to fix your config.php. You have this: $bb->uri = 'http://vistarewired.com/test2/forums/'; It needs to be this: $bb->uri = 'http://vistarewired.com/test2/bbpress/'; (or, you can leave the config alone and change the name of the <code>bbpress</code> directory to <code>forums</code>.) Fix that and everything will look as it should. You may need to do a hard refresh or clear the cache in your browser to see the effect of the changes.

Try setting permalinks to <code>false</code> instead of true or slugs, in your config.php, like this: <code>$bb->mod_rewrite = false;</code> If that works, then it's a pretty permalinks issue. crazlunatic on "Install finished but it's as if my forum doesn't exist" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/install-finished-but-its-as-if-my-forum-doesnt-exist#post-14473 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 01:44:52 +0000 crazlunatic 14473@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hello.

I'm going to check out dealextreme in the future - I didn't know they carried such a good selection of LED bulbs. Incidentally, the Cyron MR16 LED bulbs are 47% off now on Amazon. _ck_ on "Green Home Forums" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/green-home-forums#post-14418 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 04:14:34 +0000 _ck_ 14418@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Very nice design and good forum concept. Personally I'm skipping CFLs myself because of the tricky mercury issues and false advertising about their long-life and going straight to LEDs to solve both problems (though the cost is much higher). LEDs also dim properly and safely. I guess it's easier for me as I only need a few bulbs. I'm going to probably order from dealextreme as they are still too expensive on Amazon. greenhome on "Green Home Forums" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/green-home-forums#post-14413 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 22:33:56 +0000 greenhome 14413@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <a href="http://greenhomeforums.com">Green Home Forums</a> Spun this up within a few hours using a modified version of the default Kakumei theme.

Try the default template again and report back any specific things you have going on there. As well, once you start fiddling with integrating with WP in the config.php it will use the Wordpress members. Another thing if you don't have Akismet setup would be to put: <code>$bb->akismet_key = false;</code> Trent toxicshocktv on "Forums working great, but we cant log in S.O.S." http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forums-working-great-but-we-cant-log-in-sos#post-12634 Sat, 15 Dec 2007 19:58:45 +0000 toxicshocktv 12634@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Still a no go.... Tried with the false and it still isn't working. I switched over to the old template, and it worked for a little while -- until I logged off once, then it wouldn't log back in. sambauers on "Forums working great, but we cant log in S.O.S." http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forums-working-great-but-we-cant-log-in-sos#post-12615 Sat, 15 Dec 2007 08:58:13 +0000 sambauers 12615@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Trent's right. The string 'false' equates to the boolean TRUE. Which means you have basic permalinks turned on.
