Aha! It’s nice, I think it needs a small bottom border on the Views and Hot Tags headers, you know, like the other headers .

Again, I think the list of views could use a bit more space between lines.

Seriously, what’s with your serverload O_O. Do you want some free hosting for that stuff? It’s not healthy to live in a server with 9+ server load.

[benbeltran]

Sure … but i had to make some hacks to the template-functions *shame* to allow for color-changing tag-cloud.

I don’t know better.

@beer: nice.

I guess It’s time to put my link … http://temporadadepatos.net/foros/ (spanish).

By the way, how is this coming aorund anyways?

[benbeltran]

Not that I know of, I was looking for one and was planning one as my first plugin before we decided not to use the system on my forums .

I say go for it , my current bbpress motto is: “If _ck_ did it, it’s good”… So I trust you more than I trust myself.

[benbeltran]

works wonderfully … now to see if I can make it work for the bb-signatures plugin .

login to wordpress.com, go to your dashboard, click on profile (or My Account) and you should see “Your wordpress.com API Key is: ” followed by the key

got it from: http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/10/19/api-key/

[benbeltran]

try adding the www at the beginning to see if they’re logged

Like

urbanvelo.org/bbpress <– not logged in

http://www.urbanvelo.org/bbpress <– logged in

Could it be that? Maybe I Misunderstood the problem though.

Uruguay is such a lovely country, It’s good to impulse the arts, specially film. BBPress is everywhere open to embrace from gaming to arts, from code to random discussion. Code, indeed, is poetry.

“Insulting” != Insulting … It’s more like calling a great piece of markup tag-soup because of some details is a bit exaggerated, and it could even be an insult to the developers who carefully thought it, but it’s not really serious, nobody is getting angry because of that

[benbeltran]

rename config.example.php to config.php and upload config.php

[benbeltran]

Standards are good, but sometimes It’s not wise to sacrifice usability or maintainability for standards. Proper isn’t always best, but when you can do the best properly, then it’s recommended.

When I said it was not important, I meant it’s not as important as many other things on the forums, I’m the kind of people that sticks to standards when possible.

And yes, what’s tag soup?According to wikipedia it’s “HTML code written without regard for the rules of HTML structure and semantic”. Honestly I think that applying that phrase to software that is mostly standards compliant is not right. Changing one ingredient doesn’t turn a steak into a soup, this term should be applied to websites that step on the whole HTML specification. It could be “insulting” to call this carefully coded software “tag soup”. But that’s just me …

It would be nice though, to see what you can contribute to the project, I know your comments are intended to help, and it would rock to see them turn into palpable produce.

incredible design. One of the best bbpress themes I’ve seen untill now.

[benbeltran]

Nice design, nice color scheme. Great forum software .

Great work, dodecá is from uruguay? (.uy)

[benbeltran]

Nice nice . Maybe a “Most users ever online” or something. Personally I like to keep statistics simple and compact, but some people like to display a lot of statistics.

Top Taggers maybe? Who knows.

[benbeltran]

It’s a nice theme, Though I think the views could use a little more line spacing, and maybe a bit of padding between the header/footer and the content. But that’s just me.

And in a different topic, 8.9 Server Load? Ouch!

[benbeltran]

I display statistics on my forum, but not with a plugin I just did this:

<div id="onlinelist">

<?php include_once("bb-includes/statistics-functions.php"); ?>

<h2>Statistics</h2>

Our users have made a total of <?php echo get_total_posts(); ?> posts in <?php echo get_total_topics(); ?> topics. <br/>

We have <?php echo get_total_users(); ?> Registered Members. Our newest member is <?php if ( $users = get_recent_registrants(1) ) : foreach ( $users as $user ) : ?>

<a href="<?php user_profile_link( $user->ID ); ?>"><?php echo get_user_name( $user->ID ); ?></a>

<?php endforeach; endif; ?>

<br/>

<p><?php show_online_users(); ?></p>

</div>

This could be easily pluginized though, I might do it. But instead of waiting, I recommend doing it yourself or just pasting this on your front-page, wherever you want it to be displayed.

[benbeltran]

SamBauers is right, text/html is right and “application/xhtml+xml” + IE6 = headaches. And it’s really not that important.

On the other hand, the inline styling parts are more of a problem for people who want to design a theme. To edit the tag cloud I had to edit the code so it could support changing colors. If you could make a class for each step, it would be easier to customize the cloud.

point 4 .. .well I wouldn’t know about it since I don’t have a colour deficiency, but I can barely notice the change of color. Still, because of the structure of the forum, I am able to differentiate between topics easily, might be something to think about.

Why not help the project out by editing the default theme so it validates properly and is more accessible (I wouldn’t change the text/html part though) without changing the current looks, if it’s properly executed and it doesn’t make things harder for developers, it might become the official one. Collaborate

[benbeltran]

Nice idea! I’ll have to work on making my forums nicer if I want them to appear on that list

[benbeltran]

yeah, it wouldn’t be hard … you’d just do it the same way to do sizes … but the problem is to make it pass through the intermediate colors. A plugin in wordpress does that but it uses the minimum color for a certain threshold and for the rest the maximum.

[benbeltran]

@box, thanks for the comments … yeah it’s really a matter of keeping your users happy because in the end they’re the ones that decide if your site gets hits or not … in this particular case, the market – videogame enthusiasts – is one where people tend to identify their tastes in games with signatures… And of course there are regulations on the height and width of the sigs.

@wmarcy, well … i have the badges system that is a semi-plugin (i’m still learning about it), and this hack … i edited the bb_get_tag_heat_map function in template-functions to add this code:

if(( $smallest + ( ( $count - $min_count ) * $fontstep ) ) < $smallest+1){

$color = "color:#f9a692;";

}else if(( $smallest + ( ( $count - $min_count ) * $fontstep ) ) <= $largest/2){

$color = "color:#f5795b;";

}else{

$color = "color:#f24c24;";

}

right after the

foreach ( $counts as $tag => $count ) {

And then i just echoed $color next to $unit; some lines below.

I know it’s not the proper way to do it but it’s how i know, i’m sure someone will come up with a better option for this

[benbeltran]

yeah it should … li uses display:list-item and uses different properties … like line-height instead of height and it behaves differently in some contexts.

In some cases using the default display mode it would overlap with other items, but with display:block; it stretches properly

[benbeltran]

@detrom: Claro, en que necesitas ayuda?

@fel64:

#thread li {

padding: 1.5em 1.0em;

display: block;

}

that’s about it…

[benbeltran]

yeah, it was a workaround before … i don’t think it matters much anymore since i changed .threadpost to display:block so it stretches all the way instead of depending on line-height.

and about the badges plug-in … i’m not sure what you mean (sorry, i’m very new to bbpress so i still don’t know my way around that much). I changed the profile/admin keys on functions.php
