Hello.

Thank you for the fast intervention. I should have thought twice before asking my uneducated questions.

After a few modifications in my header, I cannot access my forum at all.

This is what I have in my style.css

#returntomain-site {

font-family: Georgia;

font-style: bold;

float: left;

position: right;

font-weight: bold;

width: auto;

font-size: 16px;

padding: 205px 0px 0px 0px;

margin: 5px auto 10px 20px;

}

#returntomain-site a {

color: #000;

font-weight: bold;

text-decoration: none;

}

#returntomain-site a:hover { color: #666; text-decoration: underline;}

This is what I use in header.php, to get my link underneath the header, on the right side, opposite to the login.

<div id="header" role="banner">

<?php if ( !in_array( bb_get_location(), array( 'login-page', 'register-page' ) ) ) login_form(); ?>

<div id="returntomain-site"><a>" title="<?php esc_attr_e('Return to main website's home page', ''); ?>" rel="site"> <?php printf( __('%s', ''), 'Go back to The Christian Study' ); ?></a>

</div><

</div>

Now, what I don’t get is why when I simply comment these sections in header and style, the forum is still down, but when I remove them completely, the forum comes up again. In both situations (commented bits vs.removed), I can perfectly well login into my account. There is definitely something wrong with my theme. If only I knew what…

My forum is here http://www.pastorbob.limewebs.com

Any advice?

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 using bb_head in functions.php of 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:

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.

From a Project Management viewpoint

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.

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

I’ve just activated iNove

So this is being called

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://shoeynet.com/forums/my-templates/inove/style.css” type=”text/css”>

But it reports a 404 error not found when trying to get

[saraw]

here’s three shots — one for each directory level, with the “get info” dialog alongside:

Root Directory (showing bbPress folder permissions):

[saraw]

Yes, that’s how it’s structured:

my-templates (755)

–promoforums (755)

—-style.css (755)

—-theme .php files (644)

This was working fine on my local testing server (MAMP); is there any other way to import a custom theme (I’m wondering if something is being garbled during the FTP upload)…?

[saare2000]

thanks for the help. I started by maiking a new theme and almost blank css, but got stuck exactly where I need to modify the front-page.php and couldn’t find anything concrete from Docs.

seems like instead of

?php if ( $topics ) : ?

there should be something like

?php if ( $topics || $category-id ) : ?

… am I correct?

[kevinjohngallagher]

Thanks, thats really helpful.

You could definately do this, though it’s not overly easy, it is relatively straightforward.

You’ve 3 options:

1) Edit the CSS to attempt to display things the way you want.

In theory it’s good, in practice it’d be a pain (imo).

2) Edit the theme file to put categories into their own DIV and then style them into two columns via CSS.

Probably the easiest without hacking any real PHP.

3) Write your own query on the database and output hte code exactly as you want it.

Tricky, mostly as we’ve no documentation or examples, but it’s definately possible if you know your way around PHP (and any cusotm wordpress theming experience would be helpful)

Basically though, you’ll have to code it and you’re somewhat on your own there, but we can try and help out if you hit a road block.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Eliminating the freshness column is easily done by the method Chris highlights, but it probably won’t have the affect you desire.

Content is king on the web, regardless of when it was written

Anyway, i piped up because you’ve an error in your CSS. In style.css on line 62 you have the following code:

#wrapper {

background:url("images/page_header_tile.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;

}

you’ll want to change that to

#wrapper {

background:url("images/page_header_tile.png") no-repeat scroll center top #FFFFFF;

}

As currently the background image stays the same place while the forums are centered. Basically it looks broken on a bigger monitor, and it’s a quick fix

Good luck with your forum!

If I’m not logged in then that code shows 0 but when I visit the profile page of a user the avatar will change to that of the profile I’m viewing.

If I’m logged in then I get the following mess:

Don’t worry, that bug’s in backPress not in bbPress – and ChrisHajer and Gautam have submitted a patch.

In the mean time, load http://btko.webfactional.com/sq36/forums/my-templates/s36/style.css in a browser to see what i mean

Morning,

If you try and load your stylesheet directly into a browser you get this error:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN”>

Looks like you have some permission issues

Hello,

I’m starting to modify the Kakumei theme and I’m kind of stuck; I’ve made a new folder in ‘my-templates’ and I copied over the style.css from the Kakumei theme. I plan to use it as a starting point for something more personal.

But there are is zero CSS being applied now: http://btko.webfactional.com/sq36/forums/

From reading the Docs I understood it that by just having the style.css bbPress should find all of the other files it needs from the default theme, but it doesn’t seem to be finding anything.

Any thoughts?

Regards,

[gerikg]

If you want it like this site…. An easy way to do it is…

the front page of the default theme is broken into two parts.

If you open front-page.php serach for these div codes, everything on the left is between “id=”hottags” role=”main””

Everything on the right is between “div id=”discussions”” JUst move what you want in them.

All you have to do is adjust the width/margin of both css styles.

style.css (line 285) #front-page #hottags for the left side change the width

style.css (line 293) #front-page #discussions change margin left to be 20px more than what you pick for the left column width and the width to fit.

(Why doesn’t this site have a demo on bbpress! I hate changing my theme back to default to answer questions!)

[kevinjohngallagher]

I’m afraid thats not got anything to do with bbPress so there’s not a lot we can do to help. Given that the code is output, its probably jsut a styling issue, which really is something you can find out at any of the CSS websites on the interweb.

Additioanlly, you have paid for theme, so you should probably ask there instead of here, given that your bbPress works

Oh go on then, because I’m being nice…

Right, if you open up the source of your webpage in a browser, you’ll see some hardcoded (awful idea) CSS into your WordPress page (line 70).

Just copy that into your bbPress forums, and it too will look the same:

And really bro, if you pay for a theme and then it doesn’t look like the way you want it, go ask at the forum of where you bought the theme WE’re the folks giving up our time for free!!

The theme integrator plugin which I mentioned on here a while ago as being “alpha” is now available as a stable release in the WordPress plugins repository. Hopefully some of you find it useful

http://pixopoint.com/products/pixopoint-theme-integrator/

The system DOES NOT require deep integration and does not suffer the performance hits that deep integration normally applies. This simply copies your HTML markup over after you set a bunch of things in each theme. If you don’t know how to do a 100% perfect integration of your theme already the old fashioned way (copying HTML and CSS across), this new system will not help you at all as you need to set that up already. Once it is setup however, the changes you make in your WordPress theme will be automagically applied to your bbPress site, along with changes such as plugins, widgets etc.

…

The system works across a range of different softwares, not just bbPress. You can see a demo of it in my own support forum which uses SMF … http://pixopoint.com/forum/index.php?topic=1385.0

[kevinjohngallagher]

I doubt anyone needs to release it as a theme, it’s just a custom front page (although a good one for sure).

It just loops through Categories / Forums and then outputs the last topic and last post for each forum with it’s gravatar next to it. The code to do it yourself is already in front-page.php

( I say that without taking away from the excellent work done by lukepuuk and others on the theme )

Exit mate, If you want your bbPress to be/act different than all the others, you’ll have to change more than the CSS/Background. But realistically you don’t need much/any plugins to enable your forum to be unique while staying cool and usable

[nicholaszen]

Hi,

I have looked through the whole forum, searching for an answer, how I can add another theme/design/css per forum category.

And this is the closest topic I could find, but I think you guys were further in your discussions, than I could understand. So is it possible, you explain to a n00b like me, how I can do this?

Thank you!

[kevinjohngallagher]

Also, i finally upgraded FireBug after notcing how much smaller the text has become again and according to that this is what I’m looking at:

font-family ‘Lucida Grande’,’Bitstream Vera Sans’,Arial,sans-serif

font-size 8.4px

font-style italic

I don’t know what’s changed (i’ve been away at a wedding since Wednesday night), but “Member” or the role is so incredibly small its unreal. Given that Browsers struggle with decimal points of fonts, we’re looking at 8px text.

The fact that it’s italic is huge amounts of fun to read too.

As I pointed out earlier, ‘Lucida Grande’ is a MAC font and ‘Bitstream Vera Sans’ is a Linux font. I wonder if we could check the pages on systems without these fonts because 8px text is honestly a nightmare to read (especially as it’s italic).

http://www.kevinjohngallagher.com/member_text.png

Edit: Found the change:

The 960 layout framework, for some reason, has decided to control the text as well (brilliantly outwith its remit imo). It sets the text size as 12px, and then we set it to 70% on line 76 of “https://bbpress.org/forum-theme/bborg/style.css”.

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.

1. I am making some graphic changes to the Kakumei template. I am somwhat familiar with css but am not sure how to find the one that has the gray bars for “Topics – Add New” and “Main Theme”. I want to change the colors of the bars.

2. Also; I would like to remove the gray background box for the search bar. Can that be done? I am currently working on the header color in PS. The one that is there now was just a test and the next one will be solid and not gradated.

3. Where can I find the file to change the “Home Design Sense Interior Decorating & Design” to be able to change it’s color. It will need to be lighter to work with the new color.

Thanks

The last time I recall hearing about a permissions thing it was on a mac client as well. I remember the screenshot.

Why is there no style.css shown in the my-templates/businesslike/ directory?

Also, why is there a businesslike directory INSIDE the businesslike directory? Shouldn’t there just be one level under my-templates?

What is inside the directory my-templates/businesslike/businesslike/ ? Is that where your theme is? Is style.css present there?

Where did this header information come from:

Thanks for the reply, Chris. I’d be only too happy to disregard validation errors, except for two factors:

1. I’m still relatively new to all this html/css/php stuff, so I do learn from reading the validation reports.

2. I lean heavily on support from a variety of forums, some of which don’t share your casual attitude toward validation. I try to keep my code “clean” to appease them.

I looked at the second link you posted above. Does this plugin actually reside in the plugin library? I did a couple of searches and couldn’t find it. Or, do I just cut the code and put it in a file, and upload it as a plugin?

Thanks again.
