Re: bbPress 2.0 – Theme Compatibility

Thank you John for this thread.

I’m currently working on the bbpress-plugin integration for my own themes. One point which is really annoying:

If I add theme-support for bbpress, the plugin only looks for bbpress-templates inside my theme folder. If i haven’t any template files stored there, no fallback is implemented and therefore nothing is displayed.

Wouldn’t it be nice, if bbpress looks first on the child-theme for its specific template-files, second at the parent-theme and last takes the builtin template-files from bbpress-twentyten theme?

The drawback with the currently implementet solution is, that I have to copy every template-file over in my own theme. Regardless of the fact, that I only want to alter one specific template-file. Same goes for a specific css stylesheet.

I looked at the sourcecode and it seems that i can hook into the filter “bbp_get_theme_compat” and simply de/register a new ‘bbpress-style’ stylesheet. But I think I’m not the only one which is looking for a solution inside bbpress-core.

If I missed something, do not hesitate to correct me.

Thanks

Roman
