My own theme – 3 questions
-
Hi!
I´m new to bbPress and try to create a theme that suites to my wp-theme. It´s based on the blank theme by refueled. At the moment i have 3 little questions:
1) I´d like to show the amount of db-queries and the duration of loading the page in my footer. In WP i can add this information by adding a code like this
<?php echo $wpdb->num_queries; ?> Queries, <?php timer_stop(1); ?> Seconds. Is there something similar in bbPress?2) Is there a way to display a text if a post was edited by a user? Something like “this post was last edited on X at X?
3) The last point: In the backend i can define how long a post is editable. Is it possible to display this value somewhere above the textarea when writing a post? I´d like to add a short notice like “You can edit your post for X minutes after saving it.” The X-value should change if i change it in the backend.
That´s it for now…
I hope someone can help me.Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply, johnhiler!
1) Thank you, the linked code works fine.
2) The plugin works but this is more than i need
Is it not possible to place a short text with the last date/time of edit by a template tag? By the way is there anywhere a overview about available template tags?3) Yes, i could hardcode it into the template. I don´t know how often i change the value yet. But everytime i change the value i also have to edit the template. So I wanted to avoid it.
1) Glad to hear it!
2) I don’t know… there’s no guide to template tags at this point. But a Codex with documentation will be started soon, I think. I wonder if studying the plugin might shed some light on potential tags to use…
3) Hopefully someone else can help ya with this one!
A minor note: I think that if you set the edit_lock variable to -1, then members can edit their comments forever. It shouldn’t impact your echo of the edit_lock variable, since you’ll probably be setting it to positive numbers.
But just thought I’d mention it!
@chrishajer: Thank you, that works fine!
@johnhiler: You´re right. If i set the value to -1 i´m always able to edit the posts. But this is something i doesn´t really need.Okay, then there´s only one point left, the edit thing… I will have a look at the plugin and will see how it works.
Although… I got one more point to figure out. It´s a css thing. At the moment this is my testforum: http://www.test.be-infected.de/forum/topic/test-der-bbcode-buttons
If you take a look at the 2 post with the smilies in it, you can see that there´s a lot of space in this postings. I tried several things to strip this, but can´t find a solution. I think it´s the css class .threadpost that i have to edit. I know it sounds strange, but in this free space the bbsignatures plugin was showing the users signatures before. Could this relate to it?
Any help is welcome
I´ll will try it once again later.
