bbPress 2.1 - Theme Compatibility
-
- Posted 6 months ago #
You posted, I listened.
Version 2 of bbPress's theme compatibility is now in the 2.1 plugin branch of code for your perusal. This second iteration removes the need to add current_theme_support() to your theme, and totally automates the process.
If your child or parent theme contains the template files that bbPress looks for, bbPress will use them. If not, bbPress will fall back on it's default templates and styling. No more logic necessary.
Please test it. It's new code with a new approach, so I'd like to get some fresh eyes on things right away to avoid a long beta period like 2.0 had.
Cheers!

I have a different theme and i had to change loop-forums, loop-replies, loops topics and bbpress-css.
After each upgrade rewrite these files. All right.
Now i put the 3 files and css in the root of my theme but no good.
I put the 3 files and css in the root of my theme and deleted ones from plugin, but no good.
I copied BBP-themes in the root of my theme and deleted from plugin and not good.
How do? Tx

Hi,
did a checkout and dropped it in my plugin directory and when I activate it.. I get: Fatal error: Call to undefined method WP_Query::is_main_query() in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wp\wp-content\plugins\bbpress\bbp-includes\bbp-core-compatibility.php on line 1605
regards,

There's a "Zip Archive" link on the bottom of http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin that will download the latest version. I hope you are aware 2.1 is a development version, not a released version of bbPress.

Testing this now, not having any weird compatability issues. I use a child theme of twentyeleven I made. I did notice however that I lost alot of css customizations on the forum. Did you go go with a tableless layout or something?
I only mention it because I was using forum Icons on the main forum page, and it's kinda hard to position them now. Not a big deal or anything.

not really a theme compatibility issue, but bbpress post toolbar plugin does not function with bbpress 2.1, nor does bbpress qoutes, just something for the plugin authors to think about.

No issues so far. Love that the templates are no longer using tables. Being able to override templates without copying the entire folder is working out great as well!

I have integrated bbpress in to my current theme. Everything is working great. I have only one issue.
The reply comment box is all white and the writing shows up white as well. Meaning that you can't read the reply comments. This is site wide on forums and bb posts.
Any idea how to change this?

@andre thank you for link

Figured I'd try 2.1 since 2.0.2 was giving me some issues. I downloaded the zip from Andre's link above but upon install I get
Unpacking the package…
Installing the plugin…
The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.
Plugin install failed.
Am I doing this incorrectly?

Search BBpress plugin is not functioning now, I am using the latest version of 2.1, the error message I get is...
Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::have_posts() in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-topic-template.php on line 308
Line 308 of bbp-topic-template.php looks like..
function bbp_topics() { global $bbp; // Put into variable to check against next $have_posts = $bbp->topic_query->have_posts(); // Reset the post data when finished if ( empty( $have_posts ) ) wp_reset_postdata(); return $have_posts; }Not sure what the problem is here...

How can I get it to work with a WPzoom template?
-
Hi there,
I really need a forum plugin that will work in a WP multisite environment. bbPress is one of the few that I've tried that works, but my Theme is not compatible.I also need a forum that if one 'attaches' a post that includes a featured image, that that image appears in the forum. bbPress seems to do that.
I'm using Atahualpa from BFA which I like because there is a very good interface to customize it with many many options.
I do not have the programming skills to do a lot of changes or writing of code from scratch, but I can certainly follow clear directions.
It's really too bad that there doesn't seem to be a bbPress interface for changing the look ... Currently it's using the default, which divides the presentation page 50% for user info; 50% for content.... Not really work'en.
Is there a plug-in that will give me a CSS menu to edit or a way to modify the template without being a programmer?
I would also like to be able to 'turn-off' the bbPress profile, since I would prefer that folks simply use the WP profile and not have to do stuff over again.
Can you help??
I can give you access to: masterclasses.icp.edu if it would help.
Thanks...

Can I ga confirmation that the next version release of bbPress is going to try its darndess to work with my commercial WP theme so I (hopefully) don't have to bother with all the hacking I look like I need to do, at the current moment?
That would certainly be a total godsend if that's the case. Anyone confirm this as well as successes with commercial themes too?
And lastly, what's the release roadmap on 2.1?

No idea what commercial theme you're using so its impossible to say. It's also up to users like you that use totally custom themes to test how well it works with bbPress and report any issues you run into to the theme authors.
Remember that what bbPress is doiing is actually the first of its kind in the WordPress world, so the more you can help forge it early on is the better it will be and easier it will get.

Thanks John.
I'm using the Mingle theme which can be seen in action on my site http://www.geekandjock.com
That said, the author has already indicated he won't be supporting bbPress even though the theme does support BuddyPress. His response was it was a fair amount of additional work for him to also provide theming support for bbPress.
No idea if that statement is true or will still be the case with this additional theming support that's being released 'soon'.
- what is the first of it's kind?
- I'm happy to help where I can but I'm not a coder. Have answered a few forum questions but I think I ask more than I can answer :)
