the easiest way would be a link to a zip to download it I think

I just tried to piece it together with the information from the sourcecode … and I think it might be done, but for me it looked easier to build it new.

The CSS file as jonlandrum metioned would be a start for it, but it’s still a bit of work to do because it doesn’t use all the same id’s (like rap instead of wrapper).

[Jonathan Landrum]

Well, I’m not using bbpress just yet, but as far as the look goes you can just snag the CSS file, assuming Matt doesn’t care. Also, weirdtherapy has a good point in that pasting the CSS file in your directory won’t necessarily work; you’ll have to put in the hooks and whatnot that they use here.

New release of my Avatar Plugin (version .73a). Core files no longer have to be adjusted! Just drop the file into your plugins directory, adjust your css file (as shown in the readme) and you’re good to go.

I fixed this inadvertently but I am trying to figure out how. On the front page of my forum, I have “Hot Tags” across the top and the “Latest Discussions” beneath, and both are the same width (760px I think.) The CSS is div #wrapper div #main div #hottags p .frontpageheatmap.

screenshot http://www.riversideinfo.org/wp-content/uploads/hottags.png

I could have sworn when I first installed bbPress the tags were on the left in a 150px wide div #hottags.

Are the hot tags supposed to be on the left in a 150px wide div, or above the latest discussions? Are the hot tags and heatmap supposed to be different things on different pages?

The reason I bring this up is that mine displays fine in IE and FF with the frontpageheatmap all the way across, but maybe I am missing the hottags? If I can figure out what is different about mine, maybe that will help clear the div issue on topiQ’s site. In IE, that hottags div is pushing everything else down the page.

My first bbPress Template:

http://www.borderline-hacks.at/borderline-hacks-forum/

The image of it:

If you want to download it to (change and) use it, you can do so here:

http://www.weirdtherapy.com/zip/borderline-green-ads-01.zip

There is (commented) space where you may place ads, I added the psd file for the logo, and the text in the header is random (to be truth I only added it because I couldn’t think of anythink else and I wanted it to be finished ) and easy editable(… i think / hope). There is also a seperate ie.css for the internet explorer.

Two of the ads would be shown on every page because they are in the header – I only ad this information cause I think I read somethink in the forum here that there might occur problems with google .. well something like that – so keep that in mind pls.

Hi Trent.

The URL is:

http://www.biostatistics.co.il/forums

I translated mostly everything that was in the po file.

But the CSS I have is for left-to-right language (and I need right-to-left CSS structure)

I tried “fixing” the CSS, but it gotten all scrambled.

Please let me know what you think.

Tal.

[ear1grey]

<li<?php

if ( is_front())

{

echo " id="current">";

?>

BTW the list item would be better described as being something like class="current" then add an appropriate .current {} to your css.

You should be able to change your style.css to reflect how you want your blockquote to work. I changed mine and see no problems with it. Take a look at:

http://forum.trentadams.ca/topic.php?id=313&replies=1#post-483

Used:

blockquote {

border-left: 1px solid #c00;

border-right: 1px solid #c00;

border-top: 1px solid #c00;

border-bottom: 1px solid #c00;

background: #fff;

width: 300px;

margin-left: 1.5em;

padding: 5 5 5 5px;

}

Is that what you mean or could you give an example?

[spencerp]

Was wondering if someone wouldn’t mind making up a plugin for Forum Catagory (blocks)..? Like phpBB has..

Example:

General (forum cat block 1) >

–Latest news (forum under general cat)

–General Discussions (forum under general cat)

–Site Feedback (forum under general cat)

Website Design (forum cat block 2) >

–HTML Basics (forum under website design cat)

–PHP Coding (forum under website design cat)

–CSS (forum under website design cat)

Is anyone up for doing this maybe? I think it would be nice to have this option though, rather then having ALL the forums listed under ONE Section only..

[Tarek Anandan]

It appears to be an IE6 / CSS issue. The class works properly in Firefox, but as the original post notes, IE picks up the deleted.alt class as the alternate background color for listed forums, topics, and posts.

I don’t believe IE6 recognizes hover attributes for anything but <a> elements. Someone with good CSS skills probably knows a hack.

Hi,

I am running bbpress and created 2 pages using the header, footer and css from bbpress. The pages are called:

Blog.php

Downloads.php

Now I want a menu in my header just like the one on this site (see top of this page). How do I create one like this??

Pref I want the menu in the header aligned right, just below the bbpress logo image in this order:

Blog | Forums | Downloads.

I had no luck trying myself…

Thx

[Jakey]

I believe he’s referring to themes as in separate forums within the forum. Not template or CSS themes like wordpress themes. Kind of a silly naming convention if you ask me.

[joebarone]

so here’s my first attempt at tweaking bbPress for my own purposes:

http://www.joebaronedesign.com/forum

wondering if I should keep hacking away at the hard code to change the layout and overall appearance, or if i should just wait to upgrade when the new version of bbPress is released… because I have no idea what I’m doing in CSS and PHP…drrrr

[Null]

Hi,

Well at the main page of the forum you have: Latest Discussions and underneeth it: Forums. My question is about this last part. The main themes are all in each row underneeth each other like:

Forum 1 – bla bla

Forum 2 – bla bla

Farum 3 – bla bla

Is it possible to let these appear in 2 columns like in a news paper? Like:

Forum 1 – bla bla Forum 2 – bla bla

Forum 3 – bla bla

And this goes automaticly ofcourse… I know they work on this with css 3 but it will take years when thats is finished. So how to get this done now?

Thx

[ardentfrost]

Sorry about having to make a change in functions.php, I just don’t know how else to do it.

You can see it in action at http://www.rayd.org/forums2/

You can download the file at http://faq.rayd.org/bbpress_avatar/ (link goes to readme which has link to file).

Don’t forget to change your css file in the described fashion. By default (which, I like this) anything that goes beyond the bounds of the author box is hidden.

[yottabite]

I’ve played around with the default theme a bit, and came up with something that keeps the general feel, but adds a prominent link to the RSS page (using CSS), and made the “tag” heading link to the tags page for a bit of added spice. Oh, and I’ve added snazzy stripes to the tag background ala hoodwinkd as a nod in their general direction.

Here’s the URL to the forum posting (also give you a preview of the theme):

http://forum.blandname.com/topic/6

[Nola1974]

Atsutane, you are THE MAN. Mine still looks like garbage, but It’s coming along. Thanks! This really should be included in the package.

Basically, to clarify the process even more…

/// open ‘/bbpress/conf.php’ and at the top, after the opening ‘<?php’ put the following:

‘”require_once(‘/path/to/wp-blog-header.php’);”‘

Then, in your ‘my-templates’ directory, create the following files:

header.php

‘<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>

<div class=”post” id=”post-forum”>

<div class=”entry”>’

footer.php

‘</div>

</div>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>’

You will still have to tweak the code, but that’s all it took for me.

You’ll need to add the styles from the non-header/footer portions of the bbpress css files to your WP style sheet.

Check my test-forum out… http://nolageek.com/forums

One thing I can’t figure out though… when you’re viewing a topic, the “reply” form is WAAAAYYYY too long. I’ve edited this in every form I can see, but this isn’t changing..

Why are there so many edit forms? Where is this one?

[talkaboutdesign]

Ok so everyone is aware of the login form and when someone logins it gives them a message that they are logged in and view their profile and so on. http://www.talkaboutdesign.com/forum/

im tryin to integrate just the message part, after someone logs in. Tried doing it but not successful. I would also like to fix the css problem with internet explorer 6, where the alt tags dont show up correctly. background colors are screwed up in ie6. but work everywhere.

[n22]

yes its different in IE and FireFox

copy the : ../forums/bb-templates/style.css to ../forums/my-templates/style.css (just in case)

edit : my-template/style.css

how?: the 25 line 354 and 357 line.

[talkaboutdesign]

Ok so someone pointed out to me that when they view my site in ie 6 every 2nd line shows in dark grey. I checked it and indeed found this to be ie problem. I tried everything even removing alt tags from css file , tried changing color and nothing works. Any ideas.

http://www.talkaboutdesign.com/forum

[talkaboutdesign]

It doesn’t generate thumbnails, its just setting the width of the image thats linked to be something i set. I will be publishing all this stuff on my forum soon. Im just running more test.

Btw. check it out http://www.talkaboutdesign.com/forum/

i did more updates, and added a css tab menu on top. Keep checking for more updates. In the near future ill also have a dl theme.

[n22]

change text-area background color ?

what i should write in my style.css? in which line?

http://n22.awardspace.com/forums (actualy its write)

thanks

1. U need to load wordpress function inside bbpress.

Put this inside config.php “require_once(‘/path/to/wp-blog-header.php’);”

2. Use wp template tag inside your bbpress template.

For example. Make a clean header.php and put “<?php get_header(); ?>”. Replace it with your bbpress-template header.php.

To make sure bbpress gonna look alike your wp static page. I suggest u try refer single.php or page.php inside your wp theme folder.

Here is my example. Using Kubrick page.php

//Start Header.php

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>

<div class=”post” id=”post-forum”>

<div class=”entry”>

//End Header.php

//Example item = front-page.php

//Start Footer.php

</div>

</div>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

//End Footer.php

So everytime u load bbpress index.php you will get the same page like your static wp page.

3. Add some of bbpress css style inside your wp css file.

Im sure u not gonna use all bbpress style maybe only some of it. Maybe you can start copy bbpress style from this point “/* Front Page=================================== */” untill the end.

I dont know if this gonna help you but i try my best to keep it simple hope it gonna do some help.

Side note: to load bbpress as wp static page. Create new page, and set “post slug” = “bbpress folder”

[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!

[tekhawk]

anyone got some good css for code block areas right now all mine is, is a dashed border id like something like you see on most programming help forums
