{A note of my research work while trying to build a template for use with Thesis.}

So just for the record, if you want to have a full standalone theme which won’t use any of the default templates of bbPress then you need to have at least one template for each of the sections below. Should be about 10 templates if I did the math right.

//Single User Edit

'single-user-edit-' . $nicename . '.php', // Single User Edt nicename

'single-user-edit-' . $user_id  . '.php', // Single User Edit ID

'single-user-edit.php',                   // Single User Edit

'user-edit.php',                          // User Edit

'user.php',                               // User



//Single User

'single-user-' . $nicename . '.php', // Single User nicename

'single-user-' . $user_id  . '.php', // Single User ID

'single-user.php',                   // Single User

'user.php',                          // User



//Single View

'single-view-' . $view_id . '.php', // Single View ID

'view-'        . $view_id . '.php', // View ID

'single-view.php',                  // Single View

'view.php',                         // View

psycheangels: I’m the author of Openid Plus bbPress plugin just to name one. If the mention of one of my paid works bugs you, say that instead of calling me a spammer. So you are the one who does the reviews without a copy? It may be worth $0 for those who judge by cosmetics and can’t spell “SEO”. If you have feedback about my theme share it at my forum not here. I like your theme… should have taken a few months for hired developers to code it.

Next thing – try to get me banned. So much for caring for bbPress.

[Shivanand Sharma]

BTW: Any developers/users want to take this for a ride and provide feedback? I can give about 5 copies. Contact. But I’m wondering if anyone even uses bbPress anymore… very disappointing response to my theme.

[Shivanand Sharma]

bforeste: Thanks for pointing that out. (It’s kinda difficult developing, blogging, proofreading and marketing all alone.)

[Shivanand Sharma]

bbPress isn’t going anywhere. If you are worried about the lack of initiative in the direction of development, be assured that it will be also be there in bbPress closing down.

They’ve decided to convert bbPress into a WordPress plugin. But that’s been pending for months now. And when that does happen you’ll sitll have bbPress around. Don’t worry… use bbPress. It’s not got some premium themes and plugins too. The community is working on it behind the scenes.

Sorry to rush you the info. I must admit that I’m the developer of Character Theme. The site was still being updated and the promos are still being setup as the release was done on 12th April. I’ve included the Demo link on the site so you can find out more about it yourself.

{I also develop open source but may be Matt is going to ban me for developing Character. Ready to check out the theme now? }

[Shivanand Sharma]

Did you check out Character?

[Shivanand Sharma]

Apologies for my brevity. I did find some technical issues that I should mention here – sometimes the script will fail to import in case forum title or description have the (‘) character like the word don’t,can’t etc. in that case I had to change them to do not, can not etc..

Once you hit an error you must start from the begining by truncating the bbpress tables else it will throw error about duplicate keys etc. Hope this info helps someone.

[Shivanand Sharma]

A million thanks to you. Love you.
