Any tips yet on patching non-Kakumei themes to support 0.9’s support for gravatars?
Good question GoeffF, looks like it used to be here:
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes
But clicking on it just refreshes the page. Clicking on the author’s link takes you to a rather nebulous blog which for all I know has the code for the theme (if it’s even still the blog of the original guy) but good luck finding it.
Was there a legal issue with posting that theme? Did bbPress not approve?
Okay, I see what the trouble is — I’m using bbOrg, the bbPress theme (the one that looks like this site).
Any tutorials on how to easily adapt a theme to work?
I’m not sure why, but the file wasn’t there. Perhaps I inadvertently deleted it? I downloaded the install again and bingo, there it was. Uploaded it and the install went off without a hitch.
Conclusion? Bad user on device error.

For anyone that’s interested, if you set
margin-top: 35px;
…it lines up flush with the username line, just as it looks if you view you profile here on the official bbPress board.
Fab Trent, that’s plenty close for now.
Did you mean me schmitt? Not proposing anything, just trying to figure out why #5 doesn’t work.
The syntax ‘get_user_name()’ doesn’t exist in my profile.php file under 8.3?
Has anyone been able to get this working with the ‘bbpress-forum’ template (the one that mimics this forum) and bbPress 8.3? I had this working fine in my older install using the default template, but 8.3 seems to break things, and ‘bbpress-forum’ doesn’t have the post-form.php and edit-form.php files.
5. In profile.php, replace the call to get_user_name() with get_display_name()
???
Can’t find this — running 8.3 — applied all the other steps, but display names are only showing for some (well, at this point, only for me).

Hey Trent,
Did anyone come up with a resolution for the original poster’s:
“When i click on “View your profile” the menu choices goes off way out to the right…”
Cheers,
Matt
The link to the plugin – I think it’s called ‘Enhanced SS’ – is here:
[Mi plugin] Enhanced Simple Spoiler
If you scroll down just a bit, you’ll see the English version/description.
Okay, pretty simple – see here:
http://mikecarey.net/?p=187#comments
Scroll down a dozen comments from the top to the one dated March 18th, 2007 12:36 pm and see the ‘Show’ drop-downs. That’s a spoiler plugin that essentially takes any text with <spoiler> tags around it and inserts the drop-down function.
I’m either looking for something like that, or alternately jury-rigging a custom tag (if that’s even possible) to let my users post, say, black text on a black background (in a blockquote box) that you have to highlight to see.
Make a little more sense?
Matt
You’re an amazing guy, Mr. Trent. We’ll give you all the time in the world, of course, and simply be grateful if/when you’re able to cobble something together!
Okay, fixed it by putting:
margin-bottom: 1em;
…in the CSS.
That works, except for one issue – blockquotes. I was trying to use it (inappropriately, it seems) to force a space after a blockquote. Here’s what’s happening:
Test post
Text bumped right up against blockquote.
Okay, shoot – blockquote isn’t defined here, so I can’t show you what’s happened. Try here:
http://mikecarey.net/forum/topic.php?id=10&page&replies=1#post-43
…bottom third of that first post, right after the blockquote.
No matter how many spaces I place after the blockquote end tag, or instances of the br tag, it stays flush.
Duh, found it – search-form.php!
How do you make the search box itself smaller?
Exactly Null, exactly right. Fingers crossed for a plugin/update!
I’m getting close! I just need that last little bit – totally an aesthetics thing too. Functionally I’m thrilled. WP and bbPress = da bomb.
Doh, figured it out. I had http://www.mikecarey.net in the home/siteurl options but just mikecarey.net in the config.php. I just switched lopped the ‘www’ off in the blog options and bingo, working fine!
Hmm…well, my forums are like this:
http://mikecarey/forums
And the config file is set like this:
$bb->wp_home = ‘http://mikecarey.net’;
$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://mikecarey.net’;
