Topic: Problems with theme
I have the kakumei Theme and the kakumei-blue theme but can’t get it to look like the screen shot that was sent with it. Also I changed the style.css but now the header is missing and also I have a scroll bar at the top of the left side of my header near the bb logo that I cant get out. Can someone send some suggestion my way?
This is my forum: http://thepier.bridgeatthedock.com/
As you can see, the hot tags, topics, etc. start too far to the left in relation to the header. How can I fix this in the css code? I edited the Kakumei theme on notepad and can’t find what I did to create this problem.
Hi there.
right, bbpress looks great and i managed to install and style it incredibly painlessly (i know html and CSS which helped, but still, nice, cheers).
When you enter a forum above the forum it starts listing the family of forum titles. The first being the main index, then the forum name you are in.
At the moment the index is called BBPRESS but I want to change that to Forum Index.
Where do i do this?
Cheers
Oh, i was a bit surprised there isn’t the option to manipulate the templates in the admin area like you can in WordPress. I managed it by downloading the files from my server, editing and uploading, but if it isn’t too much bother the Edit Template section of WordPress was a joy.
Hello to all,
New member here..
I’am not a pro at coding but i know how to install WordPress and upload free theme’s and change the layouts with html and css. (design part)
But i’am getting better very day to understand more .php also.
But now i would like to make a forum behind my website (WordPress) that is simple for people like me to understand.
bbPress looks good for me, and i was searching around on this forum about bbPress and i have seen lots of time the term used by people “DEEP integration” what does it mean?
And what will be the different from just installing it?
Thanks.
BJ
Topic: zaerl brigata.it forum
This is one of the forums I admin and is the main playground for my plugins.
http://www.brigata.it/forum/ (warning, it’s in italian)
is a modified version of 1.0.2 paired with the blog at /blog/ (no deep integration.) Plugins used:
Ajaxed quote– customizedAkismetbbPM– the amazing plugin of Ben. Customized in many waysbbPress signaturesBozoPost Count Plus– wonderful workzeal Avatar– modified version of the wonderful (I talk like Steve Jobs) bavatarszaerl Easter– a plugin that hide some easter eggs on posts’ textzaerl Editor– unreleased version with support to custom tags and emoticons. Obviously you can’t see it in action if you aren’t logged inzaerl Emoticons– with code stolen from WordPresszaerl GA– yet another Google Analytics plugin. But this is paired withzaerl Visibilityand output the google js code only on those pages that a guest (search engine are guests) can seezaerl Members Online– a modified version of _ck_ Members Onlinezaerl Post Permalink– permalink in the form post/numberzaerl Random Description– random desc under main titlezaerl Spoiler– add the spoiler tagzaerl Tags Administration– new tags and blah blahzaerl URL Preview– unreleased new version that print server names after links, add target=”_blank”, auto-embed youtube videos, vimeo videos and Anobii book covers. No fancy bbcode or stuff like that. If a link is a youtube/vimeo/anobii link than it is transformed.Finally what you see on the left is the output of my plugin
zaerl Sidebar. It is my personal (and totally useless right now) attempt to bring WordPress-like widgets to bbPress. The “Membri online” is a widget registered byPost Count Plusand “Tag in evidenza” instead is a widget bundled with the plugin. Right now I have implemented these widgets:stats,most popular posts,text-only,hot-tags,views list,members online(Post Count Plus),Spam caught(Akismet),RSSandsearch.If you are curious you can see transformations and tags in this topic: http://www.brigata.it/forum/topic/aiuto-forum
The theme is Kakumei with some CSS changes.
A user posted a topic on my forum which totally messed up the css of my forum. Only for that specific topic.
Heres the link to the topic: http://www.michaeljackson.no/forum/topic.php?id=331&replies=3&message=closed
I have no idea why this has happened. A wild guess would be the profanity filter plugin, but no words are being censored or affected at all. This is the first time this has happened in a year of running bbpress.
All other topics are just fine. Check yourself to see what a normal topic looks like, by hitting the home-link in the header.
style.css line 697
.num, #forumlist small {
font:11px Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
text-align:center;
white-space:nowrap;
}
You need to remove the line in bold
Hello.
Why would one table come up ok (latest), but forumlist would look like this? http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac166/nobody5973/screenshot_003.png
This is what I have in style.css
#latest, #forumlist, #favorites {background-color: #f7f7f7;
margin-bottom: 3em;
width: auto;}
Isn’t the wrapper in the body supposed to *wrap* things up nicely?
#wrapper {margin: 0 0 0 0;
background: #fff;
width: 850px;
padding: 0 20px;}
I hope that people have been confronted with this issue before and successfully overcame it,
Thank you.
Bob
Some time ago I came across markItUp! – a markup editor written as a jQuery plugin. It can be attached to any textarea, providing editing interface to it. The best thing is that it that interface can be totaly customized and there are many sets that are ready to be downloaded, among which is a bbCode set.
I’ve been using _ck_’s bbCode toolbar plugin but it lacked buttons for adding colors and changing font-size, so I decided to swap it for markItUp. It turned up quite nicely and the code is dead simple. Here it goes:
First, download markiItUp, along with the necessery bbCode set
http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/downloads/download.php?id=releases/latest
http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/downloads/download.php?id=markupsets/bbcode
http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/downloads/download.php?id=addons/bbcode/colors
* the color set is seperate by default, so you’d have to merge it to the bbCode set later
Upload the downloaded files to a directory on your server (my choice was
my-plugins/scripts) and include them in your template. You can do that usingbb_headinfunctions.phpof the theme (bbPress 1.x) or as a mini plugin (bbPress 0.9.x)/*
Plugin Name: markItUp! for post form
*/
function mark_it_up_init() {
echo '
<!-- markItUp! scripts -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="' . bb_get_option('uri') . 'my-plugins/scripts/markitup/jquery.markitup.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="' . bb_get_option('uri') . 'my-plugins/scripts/markitup/sets/bbcode/set.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" >
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("#post_content").markItUp(mySettings);
});
</script>
<!-- markItUp! stylesheets -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . bb_get_option('uri') . 'my-plugins/scripts/markitup/skins/simple/style.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . bb_get_option('uri') . 'my-plugins/scripts/markitup/sets/bbcode/style.css" />';
}
add_action('bb_head','mark_it_up_init');* Or you could just add that code to your
header.php(without the PHP function wrap-up).And last but most important – include jQuery before markItUp! in your template. That is best done using
<?php bb_enqueue_script('jquery'); ?>You can see it in action on the forum that I manage:
http://comicsbistro.net/forum/?new=1
Hope that this will be useful to someone
Cheers!
So bbPress1.0.3 isn’t going to be released? What of 1.1?
My involvement in the 1.0.x/1.1 branches is limited, but if I had to guess (without checking) 1.0.3 will happen if there’s anything important to push out or there’s some kind of delay with 1.1, and 1.1 will happen before it’s a plugin for sure.
Who makes these decisions?
Honestly, whomever is in charge of the project sets the roadmap. If there’s no lead developer, then there’s no release schedule, because everything is just stagnant. I recently said something similar over on the BuddyPress blog regarding activity and how it only serves to perpetually foster more activity. Ultimately, I defer any major decisions about bbPress back to Matt, if anything simply because numero uno through numero un hundred are almost all his. If someone comes along and starts ripping up the trac and contributing patches and just overall making bbPress (the plugin) awesome, and for whatever reason I’m unable to continue to fulfill my responsibility, I’ll kindly step down and let someone else grab the reigns.
Leadership on an open source project is weird to be honest. The real world doesn’t usually work this way, but I think it’d be better off if it did sometimes. I like to refer to the Ubuntu leadership code of conduct because I think it makes a lot of sense, even if not everything directly relates. Also, leadership isn’t normally even an issue until it feels like there is no leader. If the leader is a total jerk, then chances are the platform would just die because people didn’t like that person. If there’s no leader at all, well… then you just feel abandoned and weird about it, like you should try to help, but don’t know who to ask or what to do. It’s like getting broken up with out of the blue… You’re unprepared and it sucks and you’re sad and bleh… No good.
1) None of us are worried about the name from a personal view point, it could all could be renamed Bob’s Super Duper Forum for all we care ;-] , only form the perspective of not confusing users.
Then bbPress it is.
2) How are we going to differentiate this to the current “bbPress Plugin” (we already get quite a few support requests for it)?
The goal is that no one will have to. If people want bbPress today, they download the current stable version same as always. When the plugin becomes available, it’s up to us to make a great UX that helps existing bbPress users through the update, and makes sure new users aren’t smacked with tons of legacy overhead. BuddyPress was able to get bbPress installed with a 1 click install; our goal should be the same.
3) How are we going to differentiate this from a “bbPress Plugin” that actually plugs in to bbPress?
A plugin is a plugin, but there is no such thing as a “plugin dependency” like there is for enqueuing CSS and JS in WordPress. The way we tackled that problem in BuddyPress is similar to what I’d like to do with bbPress, but obviously much lighter and built in from the start.
4) Are we confident this is crystal clear to those who aren’t native Engligh speakers?
Since I only speak English, I can’t answer this confidently. I’d like to hope we do a good enough job preparing everyone for this going forward, that anyone that cares enough to contribute does so and stays on top of things.
I’m not looking to back you into a corner with this bro, but an update on the terminology we should “try” and use so we don’t confuse our already dwingling audience would be real helpful at some stage in the future.
No worries
There will be better communication all around going forward to help ease peoples minds.I think alot of us can see and understand this. What would be great though, again at some stage, is if we were allowed some visability on what those advantages and disadvantages were (at a high level).
None of us were involved in nor had any visability of the decision, or conversation even, about bbPress becoming a plugin; so it’s a tad of a shell shock as to how this has come about. You’re a few steps ahead of us because of that, so any resistance you’re feeling isn’t actually against the project or yourself/Pete
bbPress, is always bbPress, and it’s up to the project leaders/managers/grand facilitators to be the guiding light. If that’s Matt, or Automattic, or whomever doesn’t really matter. Again, if it’s a matter of authority, then to me Matt is the authority. But, again, if someone starts ripping through code and contributing tons of patches, there’s plenty of room for advancement if you’re willing to put forth the effort into the core project.
It would be really great to see the requirement gathering, and weighing up of pros/cons etc. Especially after Jane’s famous https://wordpress.org/news/2009/12/setting-scope/ post about how more standard/practical/tangable/visable methodology would be used for these decisions.
That would really help us in terms of seeing where things are going; and help us get behind you and Pete on this project
Can’t speak for Jane, and not sure how famous the blog post is, but this is the beginning of that for bbPress. bbPress just has less eyes on it, so it suffers the same way BuddyPress does; passionate userbase, very little action taking place. bbPress development will start gaining speed in the coming days and weeks, and all of those blanks will start getting slowly filled in. If you or anyone else wants to start talking about how to fill those blanks in, start up dedicated topics in the forums so we can sticky them and go over it all.
You’ve a lot of goodwill from those of us who’ve seen your work and great attitude in these last 2 years mate. Sadly, there’s not alot left in the tank of most folks in regards to bbPress itself after Matt’s “We’ve done this before.” and then bolting for the door.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/whats-happening-with-bbpress/page/5#post-64410
This is only compunded by Jane announcing that bbpress would no longer be used for the WordPress forums before telling anyone involved. Not quite as bad as Matt telling people in his KeyNote speech that the community was “rough” and to use “differnt software instead of bbpress”, but not helpful either.
bbPress will still power the forums, just not as a standalone piece of software anymore once this is ready.
The trust is gone. But you’re definately the man to regain it
Cheers mate, much appreciated
As an aside, bbPress has always been the forum software for enthusiasts. It’s edgy, and sleek, and when you tell people what software is powering your forums and say “bbPress” you just kind of feel like a bad ass. I think that’s part of where the apprehension to adapt to it being a plugin comes from, because plugins by their general nature aren’t usually trusted to do what they should, the way they should. Also, because bbPress is such a niche project, we’re all used to living on the latest SVN revision, salivating at the prospect of waking up the next day and seeing all the neat new little things that changed since the night before.
The reality is that most normal people don’t do that, and that’s the person we need to cater to first and foremost.
bbPress (the plugin) should be considered toxic and unstable until we say go. Not unlike WordPressMU, it was forked out of WordPress, honed, and then merged back in. bbPress (the plugin) is a separate branch of code that does not intersect the existing code in anyway. Once it’s fully refactored and stable, we incorporate all the legacy bits that we need back in with a conditional to not require it if you’re not upgrading, and Bob’s your uncle.
At least, that’s the plan.
Topic: theme not loading at all
Hello.
I cannot load (not properly) any of the themes from my-templates. I have copied the two themes that came with the installation (changed the names) in my-templates, I can see them (in Appearance) as being in the “user” directory (I don’t get a preview, even though there is a screenshot there), but when I activate them, I only get the content of my pages, without a header, footer etc.
I have set the permissions (775) for the my-templates folder. I have also set the header and footer images in style.css to their proper destinations (background: #fff url(‘images/header.jpg) no-repeat center; and footer.jpg).
I am also the key-master, so there shouldn’t be any problems there. What I am trying to do is to make my bbpress theme as similar as possible with that from wordpress.
This is how the forum looks at the moment: http://pastorbob.limewebs.com/
Here is my wordpress website: http://www.pastorbob.org/
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Bob
