The CSS is fine in IE 7 at least. Looking good.

It’s got a lot more of a consistent feel to it now, which is very nice. But when you hover over links they still turn green, as do the rows in the thread listing.

Look for the a:hover item in your CSS file to change links when hovered, and look for something like tr:hover for the thread rows. I think the specific item for thread rows is

#latest tr:hover, #forumlist tr:hover, #favorites tr:hover

Just keep playing with it until you’re happy is the best advice.

Not sure what the DXX theme is, but if it’s the one you’re using on your site yeah it’s ultra-easy.

First of all, don’t try to force bb into the WP theme … that rarely works. Your best bet is to open (or make if it doesn’t exist) your my-templates folder and start a new theme by making a new folder (call it dxx or something). Go back up into your main bb folder, open bb-templates > kakumei and copy style.css, then paste it into your new my-templates > dxx folder.

Using CSS you can then modify how your page looks (not what’s on it though). The basic way to do css is like this:

html element {

property: something;

}

For example, the code to colour links red with NO underline is like this:

a {

color: red;

text-decoration: none;

}

To change the way your forum looks, you therefore open the copy of style.css you made and change properties like that. There’s much more info at http://www.w3schools.com/css/. That is all you need to know.

So for example, what you would do for your theme is make links blue and no underline, make the header green, change the background of the page and put a border on the main div element. Some knowledge of HTML will be helpful but you can also pick this up.

Works perfectly Pravin, any chance I could get you to add the conditionals to the code snippet?

I would like anywhere the topic list is displayed, a small arrow or link next to the topic_id (or just a link) to click this and the current sort order would be changed. So if it is a normal, chronological display and the link is clicked, for it to display in reverse chronological display.

Or is this something that is too complicated?

This one too:

Its not nearly as big as Technorati but I’ve been tweaking it slowly but surely, integrating it in with a custom CMS / Wiki, WordPress, and now bbpress.

Thanks for the awesome software. I sent in a patch of themes.php last night – it needs a urldecode() in the current subversion revision.

If anyone is using ‘ Avatar pluginsuleiman, here’s a hack I use to show the WPMU’s avatar in BBPress:

In post.php, after the <small><?php post_author_title(); ?></small> bit I use the following:

<?php

$userid = get_post_author_id();

$wp_avatar = '/full/path/to/public_html/wp-content/avatars/' .$userid. '.jpg';

$wp_avatarURL = '/wp-content/avatars/' .$userid. '.jpg';



if (file_exists($wp_avatar)) {

echo '<img class="avatar" src="'. $wp_avatarURL.'" />';

}

?>

Probably not the most elegant, but it works:

look for these lines (20-23) in topic.php

if ( !$bb_db_override ) :

$posts = get_thread( $topic_id, $page );

$forum = get_forum ( $topic->forum_id );

change to

if ( !$bb_db_override ) :

$posts = get_thread( $topic_id, $page, 1 );

$forum = get_forum ( $topic->forum_id );

get_thread function changed

Quoting dictionary.com:

bo·zo /ˈboʊzoʊ/

–noun, plural -zos. Slang.

1. a fellow, esp. a big, strong, stupid fellow.

2. a rude, obnoxious, or annoying person: Two or three bozos tried to cut in ahead of the rest of us in the supermarket line.

Users marked bozos means that Akismet (the part of the code responsible for spam detection) has identified these as spammers, or you have manually set their status. They can post, however posts will be visible only to themselves – they will not realise that their posts are showing up to noone else. Useful precaution against spammers (it bothers no-one, they don’t try harder since they think they’re succeeding) and perhaps against trolls, although I haven’t tried that.

[mathboy]

Thank you!

I also think people should realize that bbPress isn’t dsigned to be a plugin for WP in any way and the developers should keep in mind to not develop too much towards this too.

It’s a standalone forum, fast and light and should stay this way

[Trent Adams]

I see now….the first topic and then reverse the order of the replies. Off the top of my head that would seem like a difficult thing to do as each reply is given an reply ID based off the previous reply ID (sequential). Displaying the order would have to be done by hacking the core files for topic.php so that is changes from desending to acending in the mySQL query. I think it can be done though, just have to look at the core code I guess.

You cannot click a checkbox that says “turn off registration”, but you can do it indirectly through the following steps by editing your theme files. If you have the default template, please upload the changed files to a new folder off the root of /my-templates/

1) Remove the following file out of your root directory, register.php.

2) Edit your template file login-form.php and remove the following:

<p><?php printf(__('<a href="%1$s">Register</a> or log in'), bb_get_option('uri').'register.php') ?>:</p>

3) Put something like the following in register.php from your template folder:

<?php bb_get_header(); ?>



<h3 class="bbcrumb"><a href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>"><?php bb_option('name'); ?></a> &raquo; <?php _e('Register'); ?></h3>



<h2 id="register"><?php _e('Registration Turned Off, Sorry!'); ?></h2>



<?php bb_get_footer(); ?>

Unless I am missing something, that should do it!

I’ve encountered with this error very recently, it didn’t happened before.

When a reply is posted (So far, by me the Key Master) the Topic closed message appears with no reason.

I have these plugins installed:

allow-images

bb-avatar

bb-memberlist

bb-post-count

bbpress_bbcode

fix-bbpress

forum-restriction

front-page-topics

[fel64]

There’s an easier way to do this, just put in the right domain.

//cookies

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.2diabolos.com');

Or

//cookies

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'forum.2diabolos.com');

If you go with the first, in my opinion neater version, you also need to add this to bbPress’ config.php.

//try to sync cookies

$bb->cookiedomain = '.2diabolos.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

Then clear your cookies, log out and in and see if it works across your site.

[fel64]

That’s pretty cool. Are there screenshots, is there anywhere running it so we can see what it’s like?

You’ve submitted it to the plugin db too, haven’t you?

[c00l2sv]

I hope development team had a look on this thread:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/867

and on this:

http://forum.mootools.net/viewtopic.php?id=2337

Why?! Cause i’m not sure bbpress made the right choise on integrating javascript in the core of bbs! It is really hard to develop new templates especially to port some templates that use different ajax libs!

You must log in to post.

in?

[thomasklaiber]

Or if you want it on front-page anyway, add something like <?php if ( bb_current_user_can( 'edit_users' ) ) : ?> around the code.

[wittmania]

This is my first attempt at a plugin, so be gentle!

This plugin allows you to display custom ads/messages anywhere on your site, including the front page, profile pages, forum pages, and even between posts.

The plugin randomly selects a file from a pre-determined directory, or you can specify a specific file to display. File types include .php, .html, .htm, or you can add custom file types as needed.

The files themselves can include links, images, PHP functions, and CSS stylization. You can customize the ads/messages however you want.

You can get the 0.1 version here:

http://blog.wittmania.com/bb-ads

PLEASE feel free to let me know if you find any bugs. I’m also extremely open to suggestions for future revisions, as my PHP skills are only slightly better than my bow hunting skills, which are pretty pathetic.

Enjoy!

[fel64]

The plugin he linked you does give you buttons like that. Click it and it auto-inserts the code.

[citizenkeith]

Ah, that did it! Thanks for the clarification.

Any chance that we can add smilies from the emoticon plugin into the sigature? Or at least an IMG tag?

[H]

citizenkeit; if you have installed the avatar plugin, you have to edit the function in the bb-avatar.php file in your plugins folder… The function get_profile_info_keys_plus_avatar() overrides the function in the function.php file.

Just add the code written above at the end of the get_profile_info_keys_plus_avatar() function (before the last ‘)’ ).

Got it?

[archasek]

thanks alot, but this plugin, unfortunately doesnt work for me

do you know, Trent, how can i translate http://ram.org.pl/forum/ ‘add topic’ and ‘reply’ on down of the page? and why my ‘add new’ (‘dodaj nowy’ in my theme) doesn’t work?

[so1o]

use the sort_tag_heat_map filter.. search for it in the forum, you’ll find a code example somewhere here

[citizenkeith]

In functions.php, find the get_profile_info_keys() function, which should be on or around line 1761. In the line that starts with array(‘user_email’…, add the following code before the last “)” in the line. Note the comma.

, 'sig' => array(0, __('Signature'))'

Hmm… I can’t seem to get this to work. I’ve followed your instructions, but it doesn’t show up in the Edit Profile area. Here’s my code for that section of functions.php:

//meta_key => (required?, Label).  Don't use user_{anything} as the name of your meta_key.

function get_profile_info_keys() {

return apply_filters(

'get_profile_info_keys',

array('user_email' => array(1, __('Email')), 'user_url' => array(0, __('Website')), 'from' => array(0, __('Location')), 'occ' => array(0, __('Occupation')), 'interest' => array(0, __('Interests')), 'sig' => array(0, __('Signature')))

);

}

Is this correct?
