Hi, _ck_. I can’t reach http://bbpress.dreamhosters.com/forums/view/available-themes yet. Is it closed?

[mathzqy]

http://bbpress.dreamhosters.com/forums/ is not available now. Where can I download bbpress themes now?

[citizenkeith]

I tried this plugin, and it’s not working with v 0.8.3.

I need spaces and special characters like á. Any advice?

[Graeme]

Thanks for the suggestion. I was planning to put up some screenshots but this is simpler / quicker. I’m aiming to make some time to install that later today.

[neyoung]

You should think about using ck’s bbpress showcase plugin so your visitors can see live demo’s of each of the themes. You can see it in action at http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ there is a combo box at the bottom right of the page that allows you to change themes on the fly.

[Graeme]

Thanks for your kind feedback! I hope you find them useful!

[chrishajer]

I haven’t looked at any of these yet, but the idea is awesome. Thanks very much for doing this.

Hi,

I’ve just launched a new site bbpressraw.com. The site provides a set of lean & mean bbPress themes that are designed to enable you to quickly develop your own custom bbPress themes. They should save you a great deal of time if you are trying to create your own theme from scratch.

The themes are compatible with and have been tested with bbPress 0.8.3.

A number of layout variations have been provided, including:

• 1col_fixed: bbPress blank 1-column theme with fixed width
• 1col_fluid: bbPress blank 1-column theme with fluid width
• 2col_fixed_left: bbPress blank 2-column theme with left sidebar and fixed width
• 2col_fixed_right: bbPress blank 2-column theme with right sidebar and fixed width
• 2col_fluid_left: bbPress blank 2-column theme with left sidebar and fluid width
• 2col_fluid_right: bbPress blank 2-column theme with right sidebar and fluid width

For now the themes have been made available. During the next week I’ll be posting some tips to get you up and running quickly!

Enjoy!

I am using the Safari browser. The bbPress Extend page reads up recent updates far to the right.

It may be my browser.

For the Danish translation see this topic:

[Daniel Juhl]

I’ve found a great danish translation here on bbPress.org, but now I’ve installed some plugins, and I new a few more texts to the language file.

How do I add new text-lines? I’m new to poEdit.

I just upgraded to the latest wordpress 2.3 and bbpress 0.8.3 and now when I try and access any page I get the following error at the top of the page:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in bb-settings.php on line 173

I checked the bb-settings.php file and the line looks like:

foreach ( glob(BBPLUGINDIR . ‘_*.php’) as $_plugin )

I checked BBPLUGINDIR to see if it’s been set correctly, and it does indeed point to the location of my-plugins.

I’m running PHP5 with a mamp server on os x.. I’ve never had a problem with bbpress before (being using it for a few months now), and only saw this error with the upgrade.

has anyone else seen this, or know how to remove it?

cheers,

Jason

[Sam Bauers]

bbPress themes are similar, but not drag-and-drop compatible with WordPress themes. What you are suggesting won’t work.

You will need to create a new bbPress theme to match your existing theme.

Hi everyone,

I’m running wp 2.1.3 and I’ve just installed bbpress. The installation goes fine, and it seems that bbpress is using my admin account for wp so that is ok.

However, I dont’t want to use the “Kakumei” theme. Can I just use the same theme that I have activated for my wp site? That would mean I have to upload the theme files again, to the bbpress theme directory?

My bbpress installation is in a subdirectory to my wp site. According to the installation docs, that should be fine.

[chrishajer]

http://blueplato.com/forums/bbpress is not accessible (gives a 404). I was going to look at the theme you are using because that is not the default for the bb_tag_heat_map: <?php bb_tag_heat_map(9 38 ‘pt’ 80); ?>

This is the default from https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-templates/kakumei/front-page.php#L7

<?php bb_tag_heat_map(); ?>

So, what do the numbers mean? Looking at that function in bb-includes/teamplate-functions.php around line 1574, here’s what the defaults are, and mean:

$defaults = array( 'smallest' => 8, 'largest' => 22, 'unit' => 'pt', 'limit' => 45, 'format' => 'flat' );

Looks like you define the smallest size, largest size, the unit of measure, the max size and then a format (not sure what that last one does.)

So, my guess is you would change those. At the very least you need to put comments between the arguments in the function call in your front-page.php: your example shows none. And you might want to add that last argument – not sure what happens when it’s missing.

Hi!

I am trying out BB for the first time, but upon running install.php I get this:

It continues from there…

The problem is, I have never installed BBPress. I went to MySQL after I got the error the first time, made a database for BB called “bbpress” but still get the error (even though the database is new, fresh and entirely empty). What’s up?

[Daniel Juhl]

Why does bbPress go to a standard bbPress error-page, if the users doesn’t write anything in his post?

Wouldn’t it be smarter to show a page from the template, so that you can modify it as you want to?

[andersson]

when re-arranging one of my sites a bit the other day I took the opportunity to change my bbpress-theme to mimic the new phpBB3.0-style.

any feedback is welcome. you find my bbpress installation here:

http://www.purposegames.com/forums

[lookfab]

Well, problem solved. The WordPress FAQ suggests resetting your MySQL password manually if you have problems connecting to the db. I did so using the MySQL client and now both WP and bbpress seem to be working fine.

Thanks for the input.

[jolaedana]

I’ve been working with chrishajer from the forums here on this one, and thanks to his help the problem was discovered and solved.

Somehow, the “parent” value of each forum was set to 1 instead of 0, but because there was no parent with an id of 1, they weren’t showing up. We went in via PHPmyAdmin, and changed that parent value in the tables from 1 to 0, and they showed up just fine. I never had these under a parent forum.

Guessing this may have been caused somehow during the database changes during the update? Unsure, but many thanks to Chris for his great help.

[lookfab]

Yes, the wordpress user exists. The passwords are the same.

The really strange thing now is that WP has stopped working (it did before I started tinkering with bbpress). I get “Error establishing a database connection” when I try to view the blog.

Even weirder, it seems that IIS “forgot” that index.php was a valid default page. I had to go back in and change this setting.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

How are you calling bbPress from WordPress?

There seems to be something wrong with your webserver. Requests to a real pdf file should not be executing any PHP at all.

[jolaedana]

I didn’t have any parent children forums- stayed away from that and kept it all top level.

I basically just modified the basic theme that comes with the forums- the only thing I changed was the CSS, so the index.php file should be the same, aside from the few things I added in to call the “who’s online” list and the like.

<?php

require(‘./bb-load.php’);

$bb_db_override = false;

do_action( ‘bb_index.php_pre_db’, ” );

if ( isset($_GET) && ‘1’ == $_GET ) :

$forums = false;

elseif ( !$bb_db_override ) :

$forums = get_forums(); // Comment to hide forums

$topics = get_latest_topics();

$super_stickies = get_sticky_topics();

endif;

do_action( ‘bb_index.php’, ” );

bb_load_template( ‘front-page.php’, array(‘bb_db_override’, ‘super_stickies’) );

?>

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

On second thought, I’m not sure how much that will help. Prior to upgrading, did you have hierarchical forums (parents and children)?
