I’m trying to install a new bbPress forum at http://forums.morganwick.com. The “wrapper” div is set in style.css (the only file I’ve changed) to have position:static. It appears to be absolutely positioned, and I don’t see anything in either style.css or in the code that appears when I “view source” that would overrule style.css (the only places in style.css where anything is absolutely positioned either have “display” set to “none” or don’t appear on all pages) unless I have to go hunting through JavaScript. Having to deal with absolutely positioned elements is a pain for an amateur developer like me, and I’d much rather have elements appear as part of the normal flow, like I can do in WordPress; what’s the problem here?
UPDATE: I just removed the background image from “wrapper” and added it to “header”, but it doesn’t show up at all. I’m trying to make it look as much like http://www.morganwick.com as possible.
@batrachoid are you using IE 6 or IE 7 because I just checked the site in IE 7 and the login form and registration info were almost completely hidden.
I’ve fixed the problem now, although it still doesn’t look quite right in IE 7, but at least it can be seen and people can register now
? It’s right above the login form.
Looks good, the only thing I noticed you might want to address is that when you’re not logged in and viewing a post page, the “You must log in to post” appears floated to the right and a little above the “New Topic In This Forum” header.
Honestly can’t say I’m a fan of the green, and I’m not too sure what the red, green and white dots are for either?
I don’t want to be the only person with issues, but I’m sure you guys are capable of handling criticism.
Outside of those two things, I think it’s looking pretty darn snazzy. Can’t wait to see it go live!
It’s a microwave dinner world… I hate registering on sites that have a mile long page full of demographic information that is an absolute invasion of privacy – I usually move on when I come across those. But when registration consists of username+email+submit… if it ain’t microwaveable, it ain’t worth the effort, I guess.
Thanks for the link, I downloaded that plugin to give it a go… but apparently it isn’t yet compatible with 1.0.2 as it won’t activate. Just keeps returning a failed notice.
bbP’s database is essentially the same as WP’s
that’s how I can actually work out how to manipulate it most of the time. Basic functionality is the same, just different variables so you can get the table name for forums, etc. Give writing it a shot though, it’s not hard.
I’d do this but I simply haven’t got the time. It’d be easy enough to store meta data if you added an action hook for ‘bb-post.php’ that got all the event-related form data from the post form and WP’s database handling makes storing it a breeze, so that wouldn’t be too hard. Throw in a ‘bb_head’ action hook to pull up data for a given topic (do a is_topic() check and check the forum ID, that’s floating around in a global variable iirc, probably $forum), load it into global variables and then let those be added in by the template. Main issue for me would be the testing and actually having to support something after I write it for once
strange is that without these replacements the posted code / content is formatted as well.
the make sense of you have all posted html elements without any whitespace.
Back to the reason why I started this topic, it’s not an important one right?
I’m trying to show the last ten posts in my sidebar, but I am not entirely succeeding, what am I doing wrong? I thought I’d just need to adjust the code from latest discussion a bit. Obviously it doesn’t work like that.
<table class="recent_posts" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>
<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>
<td><?php bb_topic_labels(); ?> <a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></td>
<td><small><a href="<?php topic_last_post_link(); ?>"><?php topic_time(); ?></a></small></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>
</table>So how can I call the latest ten posts in the sidebar?
Topic: Events plugin needed
At the moment, I’m actually hardcoding the information for an event page, into a php file. It’s not the best solution ever, I knows.
I was hoping that someone here would want to code an events plugin.
Basically this is what I would like it to have or what I have in mind:
You browse to the section of the forums where it says “events”, you click create a new topic, then it will ask you to fill in the following fields:
Name of event
Date of event
Name of place
Address of place
Bands (since I run a music website)
Topic description
The output of this will be as you can see in the screenshot.

I hope you get a bit what I want as a plugin.
I know I can’t ask for a plugin to be made working for my own website only, perhaps some section can be made optional (the band section, that could be custom?), apart from that, I think this plugin will be beneficial to a lot of users.
I really need this plugin, if you like you can add me on your gtalk.
