I’d recommend the ‘user photo’ plugins for bbpress and wordpress, tried the rest and that’s the best. (imo)

[@takster Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

The theme is based on a few functions lifted from classipress which provide a profile management page via wp theme pages rather then some god awful admin edit page.

As for bbress, I just re-coded all profile links to point at the wp profile, like

<a href="/people/<?php post_author(); ?>"><?php post_author_avatar(); ?></a>

I redirect registrations back to wp and I use the same DB for the forums and wordpress, so I just run some sql here and there pulling what I need displayed in wordpress from the forum and vice versa.

I need to put the bb profile info such as last posts, subscribed etc etc into my wordpress author pages, I think it should be possible – everything else has worked eventually.

Highlighting the current forum tab

try that…

[@takster Member 14 years, 8 months ago]

I found a cheap and nasty way to do it via forum ID, anything else just highlights every tab

<li<?php if (bb_is_front() && $forumpage == false) echo " class="new" id="current""; ?>><a href="/boards" title="Forums">Mainpage</a></li>

That will highlight the mainpage tab.

<li<?php if ($forum_id == 1) {echo " class='new' id='current'";} ?>><a href="/boards/forum/first-forum">first-forum</a></li>

<li<?php if ($forum_id == 2) {echo " class='new' id='current'";} ?>><a href="/boards/forum/2nd-forum">2nd-forum</a></li>

That will highlight forums by ID.

Hope this helps you along

I just noticed that actually

Back to the drawing board…

No good

but… from your other related thread…

<?php echo bb_get_avatar( $topic->topic_last_poster, ’16’);?>

works bro! I owe you a few beers, thankyou!

[@takster Member 14 years, 8 months ago]

let us know if you have any luck, I’m trying to display the thread starters avatar in place of the last poster name on the mainpage and having no joy so far. I’m using user photo plugin.

As long as it retains the way themes, plugins etc are handled I don’t see a problem with bbpress finally being a ‘real’ part of wordpress and sharing its functions. Hopefully the plugin will encourage more wordpress.org users to get involved.

Instantly knocked 3 queries from my mainpage, thanks

[@takster Member 14 years, 11 months ago]

Can someone explain how I can pull the total number of bbpress posts made and display them in wordpress theme, and also a harder one to solve, how do I get the total number of posts for a user in bbpress and display that in the users wordpress author.php?

I’ve got intergration happening with shared login/registrations, tables in same DB.

Thanks for any help
