Nice to hear that!

@igikloppers – I read the post you linked, but I’m not a coder, so it makes little sense to me. I have really enjoyed using BBPress in the past, and was disappointed to run into a major roadblock this time, when I was simply trying to install it. Perhaps this means BBPress is not seeing enough use to be worth development time? What happened to the famous 5 minute install?

[spaghetti]

I am also interested to know how to combat this so please help us find a solution if anyone knows. Thanks in advance

[spaghetti]

I think so… I indeed misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying

[Micheal Kennedy]

Not sure if this belongs here or in Trac, or both, so I guess I’ll stick it in both

I used the Latest Topics short code on a new page (“Latest Rants”) and I set that page as my homepage (via Settings > Reading), but now, if I, for example, click on page 2 of Latest Rants (which is pointing to site.com/page/2), it redirects me to the blog posts URL site.com/2011/08/14/21/.

I’ve tried refreshing permalinks, but that didn’t work Any help would be greatly appreciated! As it’s rendering my homepage a little unuseful at the moment.

[Micheal Kennedy]

Our site allmad.org (a ranting community) is using the latest bbPress 2.0-RC3, and it’s working awesomely with BuddyPress 1.5! (When updating the plugin, don’t forget to visit the WP permalinks and resave them, else links to forums may not work.) I love how every time someone posts a reply or new topic, it shows up on their profile and on the Activity Stream – it’s so awesome! Keep up the good work guys!!!

Hey, I’m trying to install BBPress on my current wordpress site and getting very confused. First of all I tried to install it as a standalone site on 2 servers and after uploading all of the files and trying to access the installer – it would just be a blank page.

So then I installed it as a plugin which worked, but I can’t seem to work out how to display the forum in my current theme. If I switch on TwentyTen, the forum displays properly, however if I turn on my theme nothing displays. I’ve duplicated the files from the bbp-themes/BBP-TwentyTen into my custom theme folder as a ‘child theme’ – which appears to be working (I can see all of the files when I go to appearance / editior), but it still will not show up the forum. I’ve also added the line to functions.php that I should’ve – so there’s no error messages about BBPress not being able to use the custom theme files

Here’s where the main forum should appear: http://ibiza2011.info/forum – it seems to be picking up the navigation, but not displaying the forum. I then created a forum in the admin – http://ibiza2011.info/forum/club-tickets/ but nothing displays their either!!

Please help someone

[John James Jacoby]

Interesting. This really shouldn’t be an issue. Not sure what would cause it. Possible you have some custom code or plugins that are offending? Try switching back to bbp-twentyten and turning off plugins to find the culprit.

Links to new users profile are not working for me. Clicking a user link in a forum topic , results in a 404 error.

Example

Topic

http://discordgames.com/?topic=welcome

http://discordgames.com/?bbp_user=3

Works

http://discordgames.com/?bbp_user=10

broke

I wish I had more data to give , but I have little experience with bbpress and am not sure what line of code is being called.

Thanks!

[John James Jacoby]

@Doug – Awesome! Happy to have any help we can get

If you have a page set up as your front page in WordPress Settings->Reading, bbPress will use the title of that page.

If no front page is specified, then bbPress will use the default of ‘Home’, but you change this by modifying your translation. You can do this by including the following code in your functions.php:

add_filter( 'gettext', 'my_translations', 10, 3 );



function my_translations( $translation, $text, $domain ) {

if( 'Home' == $text )

$translation = $translations->translate( 'My Homepage' );

}

I hope this helps.

I think you misunderstood. Using the class DISPLAY none tells CSS not to show the avatar

[simplethemes.com]

Yes, this should be possible with CSS and core WordPress post classes.

Just add something like this to your style.css:

.post.category-html h2 {

padding-left: 32px;

background: url(http://cdn5.iconfinder.com/data/icons/fatcow/32x32/file_extension_html.png) no-repeat 0 8px;

}



.post.category-php h2 {

padding-left: 32px;

background: url(http://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/fatcow/32x32_0680/page_white_php.png) no-repeat 0 8px;

}



.post.category-css h2 {

padding-left: 32px;

background: url(http://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/fatcow/32x32_0300/css_valid.png) no-repeat 0 8px;

}

Then put your posts in categories of slug ‘php’,’html’,’css’.

*Note – You should also download the referenced icons/images to your server instead of linking to theirs.

[cyrke]

Is there a way to pull custom icons in front of each post title under the forum section?

[spaghetti]

if none of CSS would work what should be done then? Your inputs will be appreciated. Thanks

[jabbamonkey]

Anyone out there?

I hate to bump posts, but I really need a resolution for this…

[master5o1]

Yay! One more user of my plugin

[Dan Milward]

Its how we used to do it on the old GetShopped.org site… but now that work is gone

[Dan Milward]

Come on folks, seriously, there must be somebody that wants to code for money… I know this is an Open Source community, but food is good right? )

[John James Jacoby]

Always more useful to test the trac version than the releases. The trac version is the most up-to-date code available.

No timeline, but the sooner the better.

[sparker3669]

Ok thanks that got it. I was able to get an image in there and it looks real good

http://www.geekncode.com/wp

Let me know how it looks

[simplethemes.com]

I see, then your best bet is to just leave the text header as-is and add a background image attribute to the #header selector.

change:

#header {

clear: both;

margin-top: 16px;

}

to:

#header {

clear: both;

margin-top: 16px;

background: url(http://www.url.com/path/to/image.png) no-repeat right center;

}

…obviously replacing the URL to the image with one of your own.

[simplethemes.com]

If you go to “Theme Options” and select “Display a custom image/logo image in place of title header” you can upload an image or paste the URL to one from your media library.

Below that, you can set your logo width and logo height. You should resize the image prior to uploading so it doesn’t look choppy. The size is up to you – depending on the orientation of your logo graphic.

To align it to the right, you’ll need to edit the style.css.

Find:

#header .inner {

padding-top: 15px;

padding-bottom: 20px;

}

and change to:

#header .inner {

padding-top: 15px;

padding-bottom: 20px;

float:right;

}

Glad you like the theme

[Dan Milward]

@anointed no worries mate, if you want to take on a contract once you’re done, let me know

Also has anybody done an “inline editing” Plugin yet? I want to be able to edit threads like you can edit posts in P2

[simplethemes.com]

You should be able to add any widget to the ‘Forum Sidebar’ location.

If bbPress is installed, this widget location gets registered:

http://screencast.com/t/axXP7yykY

If it isn’t showing up, make sure it isn’t commented out in the forum templates you want it to show in. I only enabled it in the templates I felt were necessary (like the member pages).

On some of my forum pages I wanted a wide page, but you can certainly change it.

For example, to change the forum home page template, open archive-forum.php in the theme editor and just uncomment this line:

// get_sidebar('bbpress');

Then, in functions.php find this line:

// force wide on bbPress pages

if (is_bbpress()) {

$columns = 'sixteen';

}

and change ‘sixteen’ to ‘eleven’ to accommodate the sidebar.
