This is our BBPress Forum
http://www.geekgirlpenpals.com/forums/
I wonder if instead of just text of the Forum name and “Freshness” we can also have it show what the last topic was, when it was posted, and who commented on it? I thought that was the default but it seems to have changed.
Someday, somebody is going to get this 2x retina thing figured out so that it’s automatic across WordPress. Until that day, we have to do it ourselves.
The general approach is to serve a double-sized image to the browser. So, if you want an 80px avatar in your topic replies (the standard size), you need to serve up a 160px avatar in order for it to look sharp on a retina screen (i.e. iPad, Android tablet, retina MacBook Pro, or one of those delicious new 5K iMacs). And as Joe Jackson says, “You gotta look sharp!”
So, how is this accomplished? Well, in the template.php file of bbPress, there is a function called bbp_get_reply_author_link(). This is the function that gets the avatar, and it comes with the following arguments:
function bbp_get_reply_author_link( $args = '' ) { // Parse arguments against default values $r = bbp_parse_args( $args, array( 'post_id' => 0, 'link_title' => '', 'type' => 'both', 'size' => 80, 'sep' => ' ', 'show_role' => false ), 'get_reply_author_link' );The argument we want to change is the ‘size’ argument. As you see, the default setting is 80. We want it to be 160. We can change it by changing a single line in the loop-single-reply.php file, which you can locate in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/. In the stock theme, the line reads:
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>We want to change it to:
<?php bbp_reply_author_link( array( 'size' => 160, 'sep' => '<br />', 'show_role' => true ) ); ?>And that’s all there is to it. As long as your CSS specifies a width of 80 (or whatever you prefer), you won’t see any change in the size of the avatar in your browser, it will just look sharper on retina screens. You won’t notice any difference on standard resolution screens and, unfortunately, there is a price to be paid in the size of the image that is served to those screens. Ideally, WordPress/bbPress would know what resolution screen it is serving to and set the image size on the fly. There are some plugins that do this for site images — Jordy Meow’s WP Retina 2x is a good one — but they don’t work for avatars yet. See this support topic for more discussion.
There’s just one more thing you’ll want to do. If you haven’t already done so, create a directory in your theme folder titled “bbpress”. Then make a copy of the file you just changed and place it in this directory. This file will override any file with the same name in the bbPress plugin directory. So, when you next update the bbPress plugin, you’ll retain the functionality you just created, because even though the plugin files are all replaced by the new version, the file in your theme directory will still be there.
I hope this helps everyone look sharp!
Just curious if someone could help me here..
I would like to use bbPress but not mainly as forum/support software, what I like to do is use the Forums function as categories to create structure and navigation on my site and the Topics functions as kinda ‘posts’ – the Replies function will not be used. I will remove that part from the template files.
The main reason why I want to use bbPress for my site is the Subscribe and Favorite functions.
Default members of the site can subscribe and favorite topics ‘posts’ and receive email notifications when they change content. That’s the most important feature I would like to use out of bbPress everything else I will customize to my liking.The only thing that worries me is the performance of bbPress.
What if my site holds 15.000 members, 25.000 topcis ‘posts’ and let’s say 5.000 members subscribe to a single topic-ID. How will WordPress/bbPress handle the outgoing emails to 5.000 people will this increase the performance a lot?Thanks,
Topic: Rating and Sorting plugin.
Could anyone recommend a rating and/or sorting plugin that will let me sort the threads on my bbpress forum by the highest voted and/or most replied to threads? I’m thinking Reddit here, i.e. upvotes and then shifting “sort by” to Top and so on.
Unless this is built into bbpress default and I’m just being an idiot, in which case please point me in the right direction to set that up.
