In reply to: bbPress new Theme
Sweet! Cool thanks!
How did you make it so that it auto generates thumbnails off the image?
In reply to: bbPress new ThemeI like the lightbox integration…any directions on how to do it?
In reply to: different layout ?To rearrange the stuff, create my-templates directory in your bbpress directory. Make a copy of the files inside bb-templates and copy them to the my-templates.
Edit the front-page.php file. That is where you can rearrange what goes where.
To get the background like here, you have to integrate your bbpress to your wordpress like http://www.abunchofcars.com/forums
In reply to: problems with installation and integrationI used xdforum, but could never really get the look I like.

Plus I’m stil having problems with the redirect. BBPress, IMO, seems to have much better integration and look.
In reply to: can’t remove main forum …Just wipe it from the database.
In reply to: Making bbPress Look like WordPress?I would start styling the table. Copy and paste the original code from the style.css from the bbpress into your new theme and then go from there.
In reply to: How do I create new themes (not topics)?You make a directory inside of bbpress directory called my-templates and copy the contents of bb-templates into there and modify the files.
In reply to: problems with installation and integrationFirst off, I would go back to the beginning. Delete all the bbpress files that you put into your WP directory. Then create a sub directory inside of WP, bbpress, or something. Put all of bbpress in there.
If you copied and pasted the config.php file exactly as you inputted it, then the problem seems to be that you didn’t fully fill out the config file.
Config-sample.php should be renamed to config.php and this is what you should be entering (leave anything I didn’t include here alone):
define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘wordpress‘); // The name of the database
define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘ur MySQL username‘); // Your MySQL username
define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘the pass to the database‘); // …and password
define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
$bb->domain = ‘http://shadesofblack.free1k.com‘; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com’
// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.
$bb->path = ‘/bbpress/‘; // Example: ‘/forums/’
Give your forum a name and enter your email…
$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;
$bb->wp_home = ‘http://shadesofblack.free1k.com‘; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash
$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://shadesofblack.free1k.com‘; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash
And that’s it…go to shadesofblack.free1k.com/bbpress and you should get the installer.
In reply to: Making bbPress Look like WordPress?In reply to: Adding bbPress as a WordPress PageThank you! I’ll post the instructions when I get a chance.
In reply to: loading wordpress with bbpressdoubter:
Are you trying to incorporate the look of your main site into bbpress or functions of WP into bbpress? If you are looking to make bbpress look a part of your site, I highly recommend that you remove all the WP code from config.php. Then make a my-templates directory inside bbpress directory, make a copy of the contents of bb-templates and drop it in there. Then modify the files to match your existing site. See an example here: http://www.abunchofcars.com/forum/
In reply to: loading wordpress with bbpressIf you want it to have the same look as your site, don’t edit the config.php like that. Create a folder inside bbpress directory called my-templates and make a copy of all the files in bb-templates and paste it into my-templates and edit those files. Example: http://www.abunchofcars.com/forum/
In reply to: Private forum?It would be cool to be able to restrict view/write access to threads. That way Mods/Admin could have their own threads to discuss things.
In reply to: check out my skinThat’s pretty nice, I like it! Any plans to further integrate it into your site’s existing design? I like the color coices. One thing though, when you look at a specific topic, its interesting how its all one big grey box, it makes a bit difficult to separate the posts: http://outletzine.org/forums/topic.php?id=10 I can tell by the dotted line, but its a bit misleading because the post time/date actually belongs to the post on top, but it looks like it belongs to the next post, if that makes any sense.
In reply to: Email NotificationI wonder if there will ever be a plugin or easy way to do this? Couldn’t it be triggered the same way posts are when people make comments?
In reply to: Are BBPress threads search engine searchable?Sweet! Thanks!
In reply to: Adding bbPress as a WordPress Pagemrjain,
Of course, I would be glad to help.
In reply to: Suggestions for profile.phpHow did you get img tags to work inside bbpress?
In reply to: Emoticons For bbPress?Cool! Works for me also!
In reply to: Adding bbPress as a WordPress PageThe page you refer to is one of my sites: http://www.abunchofcars.com/forum and it took a bit of playing to get it “integrated”, but its easy now.
Basically when you go to http://www.abunchofcars.com/forum , you’re not going to a page called forum, you’re actually loading the bbpress directory. I created a folder called “my-templates” and began warping the standard layout to match my layout. It involved some heavy modification of the bbpress layout files. The main files I tweaked with are: headers.php, front-page.php, footer.php, and style.css. I also did some slight tweaking with the login-form.php also.
In reply to: img tagsI would also like to know if there is an img plugin/rewrite for bbpress.
In reply to: New Forums not showing upOkay, figured out my noob mistake. Was using my “live” MySQL database versus my dev one. Works fine now.
In reply to: Hard to warm me up for bbpressIt was a bit fustrating in the beginning, but I’m finding it kind of fun. It’s a good back-to-basic-code refresher for me. Here is a little modding I’ve been doing: http://dev.abunchofcars.com/forum/ and I like its pretty easy to integrate into WP since its practically built off the same engine.
