I’m sorry, I misunderstood your original post. Ignore my first reply

[peiqinglong]

I would start styling the table. Copy and paste the original code from the style.css from the bbpress into your new theme and then go from there.

[ear1grey]

td {

text-align: center;

}

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Looking good

(As an aside, I see you’ve edited the core files to allow image tags. There is also a plugin for this: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/5 )

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

I would make a copy of your functions (wp_admin_bar and wp_admin_bar_style) and put them in a bbPress plugin.

I you want to make sure the code is always the same, you could use a symlink or instead make a bbPress plugin that just includes the one needed mu plugin.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

$bb_post->poster_id should work, but there are some convenience functions as well:

get_post_author_id() returns the ID, and post_author_id() echoes it.

[suleiman]

that was MUCH needed…thanks

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Done – thanks

My WPMU and BBpress setup is 99.99% complete. The *only* remaning issue is this:

Across all the blogs in my WPMU install I have a header that uses the following code to hook into every wordpress blog on my site:

add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘wp_admin_bar’); /* part of hack to make this show at the top of each blog */

add_action(‘wp_head’,’wp_admin_bar_style’);

I need this header to show up at the top of my bbpress install without having to load wordpress on top of bbpress.

In short, I like my bbpress the way it looks on its own, I just want the header at the top. Is this possible?

[peiqinglong]

Ok, I’ve been racking my brain on this one. How do I align the text so that it is in the middle of each icon? http://www.abunchofcars.com/forum/

I know people usually do td align, but that isn’t valid for xhtml strict. I can’t figure out what the CSS code for that is…

Thanks!

[fuknrekd]

Thanks. Don’t know why I didn’t think of that before. Ah well. (I edited my web site in my profile to use that link so I’ll have a link for it on this site. Perhaps I’ll link to it from my BB too. )

Hi all ,

this board is very nice , and the support also , they respond me very fast !

i am customizing a little my Bbpress to give it a strange new look , but to continue , i need to know how to get poster’s ID to get the profil URL , i tried this , but it doesnt work ( on post.php ) :

echo $post->poster_id;

So what’s the problem ?

TFYT .

[peiqinglong]

I think it would be very cool to have a quote button on each post so you can quote what a person has said like in other forums.

[tgpuckett]

Atsutane: Thanks so much for your help!! I really appreciate it

[Atsutane]

From what i see. I think it only css problem and some html problem. It seem before <div id=”footer”> u got 1 extra </div> … well i think so Anyway i need to go now. Good luck with your bbpress

[tgpuckett]

OK, so I keep getting closer Atsutane, I don’t use K2 unfortunately

http://www.macuserblog.com/boards/ is where I’m at now. Is the remaining problem CSS or PHP-related? Thanks again!

[talkaboutdesign]

tried the code you provided, doesnt work.

[tgpuckett]

OK, I can follow that, where do I need to put get_sidebar()? In the header?

[metavalent]

try:

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define('BBDB_NAME', 'n22_n22');

define('BBDB_USER', 'n22_n22');

define('BBDB_PASSWORD', '123456');

define('BBDB_HOST', 'db2.awardspace.com');

$bb_table_prefix = 'bb_';

$bb->domain = 'http://n22.awardspace.com';

$bb->path = '/bbpress/';

$bb->name = 'N22 Forums';

// This must be set before running the install script!!!

$bb->admin_email = 'haiyuezhang@hotmail.com';

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = 'true';

[tgpuckett]

OK, in my header.php file I have <?php get_header; get_sidebar(); get_footer(); ?>. Everything is OK, but now bbPress is shoved below the WP theme. Is this a theme problem or a CSS problem? How can I fix it? I really appreciate all the help you’ve offered Atsutane! It’s much appreciated.

[Atsutane]

To center it u need to play with css .. try look into default bbpress style.css and see which code u can use to suit your theme

[Atsutane]

Well maybe u can imagine like this. Inside your bbpress template, all file (not included header.php and footer.php) equal to your normal WP post. So u need to set up header.php and footer.php to be like ur WP index.php theme file.

To make it short. Cut your WP theme index.php into 3 part. 1 for bbpress header.php, 1 for bbpress footer.php and one for your post a.k.a other bbpress template file.

Sorry if my word confusing you. But i donno how to explain it .

[tgpuckett]

Atsutane:

Ok, now header.php only includes: <?php get_header() ?> and nothing else. It looks better now. How do I get the sidebar, etc to move over? I want it to be completely seamless. Thanks so much for your help so far!

[metavalent]

peiqinglong’s clarification:

First off, I would go back to the beginning. Delete all the bbpress files that you put into your WP directory. Then create a sub directory inside of WP, bbpress, or something. Put all of bbpress in there.

Should be included on the 1, 2, 3 Step Installation Page, which should read:

1. Unzip to a sub directory of WP e.g., ‘bbpress’. This will become part of your forum URL http://yourcoolsite.com/bbpress/.
2. Copy config-sample.php to config.php and fill in the necessary details.
3. Load bb-admin/install.php and do what it tells you.

Let basking be the RESULT of the process, rather than hogging up 33% of the 1, 2, 3 process.

[tgpuckett]

OK I’ll try it without. Thanks
