And then you also need to make it so that every user has a private album instead of all members seeing all media.

I have been trying this for a while and have issues making it true inline images.

Now I use the attachment plugin together with bp-album, bp-album allows members to create private albums for media, and it will post those images to the activity pages.

Here is a link to the forum I am building right now.
Inline images for activity

This comes closest to what you need, I have also tried RTMedia plugin but that causes much problems and makes sites run slow, not too mention the errors from the W3C validator.

I do hope that BBPress will add a good image uploader soon.

Layout of the site is close to finished.

I had to remove RTMedia’s plugin cause it was making everything slow, still a lot of problems with the high amount of Jscript and CSS from plugins that make the world run slower but getting better.

Have a look and let me know what you think.

More coming soon.

ps. demo site is Cannabis themed, just to give a heads up.

.hentry {
margin-left:0;}

Add this to your css or change the existing .hentry css.

Should work.

First thing when you have time is a tutorial on how to make a child theme, this is best for your needs.

A child theme only has to be a folder with a CSS file and place/uploaad that folder between the other themes.

Name the folder anything you like as a theme name.

This is a css for a 2014 child theme.

/*
Theme Name: Twenty Fourteen Child
Theme URI: http://example.com/twenty-fourteen-child/
Description: Twenty Fourteen Child Theme
Author: John Doe
Author URI: http://example.com
Template: twentyfourteen
Version: 1.0.0
Tags: light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
Text Domain: twenty-fourteen-child
*/

@import url(“../twentyfourteen/style.css”);

/* =Theme customization starts here

A category can have multiple forums, a forum can not have multiple categories.

Forums can have sub-forums, so the hierarchy goes like this:

Category : transportation
Forum : Trains
Subforum : My favorite train

Category : transportation
Forum : cars
Subforum : Who Likes Mini’s anyway?

You could create a menu in “appearances => menus”
Add your category to the menu, save and use “manage locations” to add your new menu instead of the default menu.

That menu link should bring you on a page showing a list of your forums!

If you want to land directly on a forum’s page you add a forum link (instead of category) to your menu and repeat previous steps.

That is how I create my current theme http://www.cultivators-forum.com

good luck

It is possible when combining buddypress/bbpress and wordpress.

I have (after long hard work) found a workaround/hack to do that, have a look to see if this is what you meant at: http://www.cultivators-forum.com/activity

[peter-hamilton]

Hi, thanks for your quick reply.

I am using a plugin “invite anyone” which means people can only join up after email invite.
This is to prevent trolls for the first year at least when live.

[peter-hamilton]

One of my main motivators of continuing with BBPress is Tamriels foundry, one of the few examples that show that it is possible to create a forum similar to that of premium forums, with the added bonus of having wordpress/bbpress and budypress with their helpful communities.

You guys rock and thanks to looking at your code I am able to create my own community site.

Clean design, not bad at all.

i am not sure about the flipped images on your widget.

And a stronger header/title area would make a more visual experience.

But still nice and clean is good.

P.H.

[peter-hamilton]

I did not like the form under the topics and forums, but could not find a way to link them to a new page, just like most here who have been trying for years.

As an alternative I have added a button with an animate function that changes the height of the form from 0px to 400px when clicked, like an accordion function.

Not as good as a separate page but already a lot nicer.

P.H.

[peter-hamilton]

Ah no links allowed probably.

site to see my code working is www cultivators-forum com/cultivators-forum

sorry for the cheeky link, dont care about visitors nrs, is a work in progress.

P.H.

ps. see if this gets posted here.

[peter-hamilton]

wow just wrote long reply press post and all is gone??

came down to that you can mail me at seedism@gmail.com and i will send code to thank you for your reply.

I am not yet posting it here cause I want to use it for a theme i am trying to create.

preview here:

The two examples you gave are close, but do not actually show what I need, this link is more like what I mean.

But, they did make me realize that the desired hierarchy can be achieved with a combination of css and selecting the right category/forum/topic order, and that the existing three levels (categories/forums/topics) is one too little.

This is what I think is a solution.

1.Create/give parent Categories a name to display as title in a new category header, remove all other data through css from the header, like the “topics” and “freshness” text since this needs to be echoed only in the next level of categories.

2.Create categories in parent category and change functions and css so they show as a list under each other and include topics and hierarchy text.

3.create another level of categories to act as main forums, here we include the freshness-links and topic count.

4.Topics/threads are created inside the fourth level.

5.remove the original bb-header to allow the first level categories to take over this function.

I think this makes sense to me, will have to try tomorrow if this works.

I can not yet make my solution of the freshness-topic-title public since I am working on a theme with this function included, I can not send private messages on the bbpress forum else I would have pm’ed you it as appreciation for your reply.

You can send me a mail and I will send you the code but please keep it to yourself.

Here is a link to a live demo, this is a work in progress and site is not close to finished but you can get an idea of what I did.

Thanks to a page of spam only threads on bbpress I added another reply to get back on top.
Not a very busy forum this is, although I am an impatient guy…

Will check every day until there is an answer to the question.

btw, i did manage to get post titles of the last replies in my freshness link, like you can see in the image I attached at the start of this thread, this is a much asked for adjustment of the forums-list and I find it weird that a noob like me finds a way to do this when there are 3 years of topics/requests of this feature.

P.H.

[peter-hamilton]

As this would be a major improvement and many requests have been made for this, I want to keep this topic on the top of the list so it can get resolved soon.

The image I added shows an example of how this needs to look.

P.H.

[peter-hamilton]

This is the single most important update/plugin I am waiting/hoping for.
Would make bbpress more like the VBulletin and IPBoard.

AM still looking to solve this.
