Hi Ashfame, here, as in other posts, I thank you so much for your answers.

I “talk” with you as you talk with me. We exchange opinions.

I’m a democratic person, so I listen opinions, next I can agree or I can express my “counter-opinion”, they call them “points of view”.

They don’t hold the true, they are useful to grow.

It is supposed that bbPress staff would read our discussions and next take some inspirations for next releases (I like to suppose to)

Now, discussing of technical instead than philosophy, I’ve not enough skill but I find really interesting where you say … I will have different themes for different devices, optimized for their width…

Would you kindly give me a rough idea about this solution and or some links where to read about that (I mean bbPress and maybe wordpress related)? I would really thank you so much.

The impression is / it looks like, that we are not so many here (maybe I’m far and wrong, it is simply my impression/sensation), and looks like your knowledge is of a very good level : would you like to share it and give “some right tips” to us? Thank you if you.

Ciao

Corsari,

I do know what readability is. And who told you I will use such a layout with floating icons? Moreover even if I do, I will have different themes for different devices, optimized for their width.

If you are running 1024X768 on a desktop, then you are living under the rock for sure. Either you are not switching to a higher resolution or you are using 15″ monitor. Lower specs are phasing out and people won’t limit their designs for a handful of visitors.

Pagal,

Another thing, I am not the owner of that site, that I am going to accept feedback for that. You want them to do something, approach them, not me.

Which method would you say is easiest to go with out of the 2? Deep integration or copying the wp theme to bbpress theme?

I just got a bit lost with the guide you have done, like installing the intergration plugin (why is it needed, what does it do, where do you paste the code etc), the bbpress theme, replace header/footer/sidebar etc? How does it get the wordpress header/footer etc??

Just bit lost, sorry to be a pain

Dear Ashfame, it is not true what you say,

nowadays there is number of netbook out there with 10″ screens and you should beware about readability.

So there is not need to live under a rock to being surfing at 1024 screen resolution.

Yes you are right about the deep integration.

Matching themes this way is a solution but it comes with a performance penalty but its economical at initial stages.

In that guide, since WordPress is loaded too.

Instead of calling bbPress header file, we call the WordPress header file so as to bring the code from there. Same goes with the sidebar and footer.

That’s how forums are housed inside WordPress theme.

@Ashfame… very smart solution… really thanks :p

Thanks,

Would it be best to do the deep integration option or just copy the wordpress theme files over to the bb-press theme and have it load seperate?

So essentially you would just be styling the bbpress theme the same to match the wordpress theme?

I have read that by doing the deep integration you will have ‘double loads’ on all pages which would result in slowing down the site?

What do you think?

I had a read over your guide earlier on and i got a little lost when i reached here >

Replace bb_get_header(); ?> by get_header(); ?> <div id=”content class=”narrowcolumn” role=”main”> in all files.

Similarly replace <?php bb_get_footer(); by </div><?php get_sidebar(); get_footer(); in all files.

Thanks for the reply, i have installed bbpress successfully now, but i cant seem to get the forums to match with my theme >

http://www.myweddingreviews.co.uk

http://www.myweddingreviews.co.uk/forum

I want the forum to be embedded inside of my site, not a different skin if you follow?

Finding it hard to figure out how to do this, i thought it would have been alot easier.

Any ideas mate?

Like if you have forums in a folder named ‘forums’, then create a page with the slug as ‘forums’.
