One topic per topic please. You’re switching gears on us here making it hard to help.

It’s repeating because of this rule in the CSS:

background-repeat: repeat-x;

In the #wrapper section. That says “repeat the image horizontally:, which is what’s happening. Remove that line and it won’t be repeated (or maybe you need to change it to background-repeat: no-repeat).

Then you need to position it.

This isn’t really bbPress specific just, just basic HTML and CSS.

Download links and other infos are not displayed in several plugins: Fixed.

Yep, but every plugin page still displays info about an old version of it.

Luckily if you download the plugin you will end up with its most recent release.

Hi everyone.

1) I installed “Forum Last Poster” in order to display additional information on my front page. In the forum section, I was able to display a link to the last updated topic in each forum, but the whole link is displayed. Does anyone know how to truncate the link to show only the post name instead of the entire link?

Here’s my code thus far:

<?php if ( bb_forums() ) : ?>

<h2><?php _e(‘Forums’); ?></h2>

<table id=”forumlist” cellspacing=”0″ cellspacing=”0″>

<tr>

<th><?php _e(‘Main Theme’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Posts’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Topics’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Last Topic’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Last Poster’); ?></th>

<th><?php _e(‘Freshness’); ?></th>

</tr>

<?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?>

<?php if (bb_get_forum_is_category()) : ?>

<tr<?php bb_forum_class(‘bb-category’); ?>>

<td colspan=”3″><?php bb_forum_pad( ‘<div class=”nest”>’ ); ?>“><?php forum_name(); ?><?php forum_description( array( ‘before’ => ‘<small> – ‘, ‘after’ => ‘</small>’ ) ); ?><?php bb_forum_pad( ‘</div>’ ); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php continue; endif; ?>

<tr<?php bb_forum_class(); ?>>

<td><?php bb_forum_pad( ‘<div class=”nest”>’ ); ?>“><?php forum_name(); ?><?php forum_description( array( ‘before’ => ‘<small> – ‘, ‘after’ => ‘</small>’ ) ); ?><?php bb_forum_pad( ‘</div>’ ); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php forum_topics(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php forum_posts(); ?></td>

<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <big>“><?php forum_last_post_link(); ?></big><?php topic_page_links(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php forum_last_poster(); ?></td>

<td class=”num”><?php forum_time(); ?></td>

</tr>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</table>

<?php endif; // bb_forums() ?>

2) I’m using the “Bavatars” plug-in, but I need to be able to style the “avatar” section in the members page in order for it to be aesthetically pleasing and for it to function correctly. I believe that the HTML on this page is outputting from the “avatars-profile.php” file, however whenever I try to div it off like I did on every other page, I get an error and the page won’t load.

Here’s the code:

bb_get_header();

****Not in code <div id=”Whatever??”>

if ( $message )

echo ‘<div class=”notice”><p>’ . $message . ‘</p></div>’;

echo bb_get_avatar( $user_id, 100 );

?>

<form method=”post” action=”<?php profile_tab_link( $user_id, ‘avatar’ ); ?>” enctype=”multipart/form-data”>

<input type=”file” name=”bavatar” id=”bavatar” />

<input type=”submit” value=”Upload new avatar »” />

</form>

<form method=”post” action=”<?php profile_tab_link( $user_id, ‘avatar’ ); ?>”>

<?php bb_nonce_field( ‘bavatar_delete-‘ . $user_id ); ?>

<input type=”submit” id=”delete” class=”delete” name=”delete” value=”Delete” />

</form>

***********Not in code </div???>

The styling attributes that the “avatar” page needs are:

width: 890px;

padding: 30px;

margin-top: -30px;

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

@Petehds: looks like @chrishajer already answered you

Instead of color: rgb(255, 255, 255); just use color: #FFFFFF; or color: white;

For the image, you are correct. That’s a thin slice that is tiled horizontally. That’s useful for different browser sizes and screen resolutions.

For the size of a jpeg, you need to know how wide your overall layout is going to be, then make it so it fits. The width of the kakumei layout is 760px I believe, so make an image 760px wide and see how it fits. You may need to adjust padding and margins, or even the image size, but start at 760px and see how it lines up.

[chrishajer]

You want a plugin to allow bbcode. There are a couple:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-lite/

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-buttons

[chrishajer]

Check the search results for this plugin search:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=bbcode

I don’t think many of those 284 pages of results have anything to do with bbcode.

Much more realistic:

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:https://bbpress.org/plugins/%20bbcode

[asorethumb]

Here ya go:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-buttons/

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-lite/

Works fine for me on v1.02

[CEThom]

I’m new to bbpress, having previously only used phpbb where all the codes are present as follows:

Italics:

Bold:

So on and so forth. But these codes aren’t working for me on bbpress.

What are the codes for formatting text on bbpress, ie. bold, italics, underline, centralising, changing the size, etc?

Or is there a plugin I can get so the text bar appears at the top of the page like it does on a phpbb forum?

[Petehds]

1. Here is what I found at 683; but I am not sure this is it:

#latest th, #forumlist th, #favorites th {

text-align: left;

background-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);

font: 11px Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

font-weight: normal;

padding: 5px 9px;

color: rgb(255, 255, 255);

}

How do I change it to a hex color code?

2 & 3. The existing image is just a thin color bar that I guess is repeated to fit across the top as the header if I am correct. It’s the url you have posted above.

Can I just replace that with a full size jpeg that fits acroos the entire header? If so; what size does the jpeg need to be?

Regards,

John

[Ricard Torres]

Hey John,

1. Sure you can. Replace this image and you’re done http://www.homedesignsense.com/forum/bb-templates/kakumei/images/page_header_tile.png

2. You mean add the blog logo? You can add anything you want. You can do it in the header.php file of your theme

3. I’m not sure of what are we talking about in this 3th point

4. You can find the search box in the header.php file arround the line 33 I guess. Look for the function

<?php search_form(); ?>

Then place it where you want.

Regards.

[gerikg]

look for this code. It’s there TWICE

forum_description( array( 'before' => '<small> –

replace

–

with

& # 8 2 1 1 ;

take out the spaces

Thank’s a lot everyone. The forums are working really nice

Paulo, all the code does is echo the name of the site. You can remove it.

Actually, it looks like they’re all complete in the original too. Maybe you didn’t copy all the way to the end of the lines. Notice the scrollbar in the code window – there’s more to the right.

[mr_pelle]

Can we decide if we’re working on bbpress 1.0.3 or bbpress 1.1?

Quote. It is very important for new tickets and plugins updates.

I voted for it being called 1.0.3 as a bug fix release for 1.0.2.

I’d prefer that too. I’ve tagged my new tickets as 1.0.3, but doing this makes the milestone seem never ending…

[Ricard Torres]

Hi Petehd,

Everything you can find it in the file http://www.homedesignsense.com/forum/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css

1) You can find in the 683 line of the css file (background-color)

2) Remove the background-color in the line 109

3) You can find it in the line 106

3.1) the sub-title in the line 89

You can ask me any other cuestions in my forum

Regards,

quicoto.

[sakikawa]

Hi!

I don’t think you have understood the Erwin’s question..

Erwin, it’s normal.. when you activate the deep integration by BP, it updates a table (bp_options, or something) with the new bbpress address (inside bp root).

So you need to access the bp or bb database, find the link you think is wrong, and edit it with the right link.

..my suggestion is to reinstall BP and BB, if you haven’t user or important data.

[Gautam Gupta]

It looks like the 2 plugins bbpress-integration and wordpress-26-and-bbpress-09-integration are conflicting. You must delete any one of them via FTP.

[Damien]

The theme is based on a few functions lifted from classipress which provide a profile management page via wp theme pages rather then some god awful admin edit page.

As for bbress, I just re-coded all profile links to point at the wp profile, like

<a href="/people/<?php post_author(); ?>"><?php post_author_avatar(); ?></a>

I redirect registrations back to wp and I use the same DB for the forums and wordpress, so I just run some sql here and there pulling what I need displayed in wordpress from the forum and vice versa.

I need to put the bb profile info such as last posts, subscribed etc etc into my wordpress author pages, I think it should be possible – everything else has worked eventually.

Hi TellyWorth,

Thanks for popping up.

Please send examples to Akismet support – false positive problems are usually easy to fix.

Mate, that’d be really awesome. Basically every 2-3 days on this forum half my posts are marked as Spam. You’ll notice that if ChrisHajer isn’t on the forums for a day or so that they appear quiet, and when he does come on there’s a host of “rescued from Akismet” posts.

I think you’d get some great examples here by going through bbPress.org

[kevinjohngallagher]

<title>

<?php

if( function_exists(‘bb_title’))

{

bb_title();

} else {

wp_title(‘«’, true, ‘right’);

}

?>

<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>

</title>

[Michael]

I quite like this – very simple; also following the Vanilla 2 forum style.

The thing I like about your themes is that they’re easy to modify; which is evidently why they are popular (if I’m not mistaken).

Great work refueled.

[Kevin Muldoon]

Kevin John – I wasn’t aware that you could use an if statement like that on wordpress. Good to know for future.
