I don’t know of any problems – your best bet is to try it and test.

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

I tested, but it’s not working friend: http://www.escoladinheiro.com/forums/

I really need to remove that blog title on the forums so i can lauch it

[kevinjohngallagher]

As long as you’re ok with me writing this without testing:

<title>

<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>

<?php

if( function_exists('bb_title'))

{

bb_title();

} else {

wp_title();

}

?>

</title>

[kevinjohngallagher]

So here’s my thing:

– Is anyone working on the theme?

– If so, who?

– Can we get some form of notification when there’s been a theme update/bug-fix?

– How often is this site getting updates from the SVN?

– What software is running the static pages? (wordPress or hacked bbPress)

I ask this because I’m never sure if something is a bug from the nightly build, a theme bug, or a bug from (what appears to be) the hacked pages from bbPress.

If we take the HomePage as an example, and seriously “the homepage is broken” should be setting alarm bells off somewhere in Automattic; i’m not sure if this is down to someone trying to fix the theme, or a nightly build error, or compatability, or just not testing or what?

With respect, the theme roll out was half-assed and for the most part untested. I’m not fussed about the font-size issue; but once again the management issue behind it. Who thought it would be a good idea to take an untested 9 month old design/theme and put it onto live enviroment with ever changing software base (nightly builds) and then not test it??

*sigh* and I was trying so hard not to complain

Use an editor with syntax highlighting so you can see where to start and stop.

Or, try this file and see if I swapped them correctly for you:

[netgo]

Thanks I tried but I am not sure exactly where to start the copy-paste before the relocation, the result was a mess

[chrishajer]

You mean on the front page of the forums (public) or somewhere in the admin?

If the front page of the forum, just open the front-page.php file in your template folder, and remove from line 11:

<?php if ( $topics || $super_stickies ) : ?>

to line 45:

<?php endif; // $topics or $super_stickies ?>

That will just leave a list of forums on the front page. Is that what you mean?

If you do that, and you have a long list of tags and short list of forums, the footer won’t be pushed all the way to the bottom. But first let’s see if this is what you want to do.

Can I get rid of Latest Discussions from the dashboard?

Thanks

[chrishajer]

I looked at this post:

http://www.homedesignsense.com/forum/topic/video-test-2-3

1. you don’t need the [video] bbcode/shortcode to use bbvideo.

2. you don’t need to post the complete embed code, just paste in the link to the video and the plugin does the rest.

I just made a post in that same topic the way you’re supposed to do it with bbvideo, and it did not work. Not sure if you have the plugin activated or not right now, but if you do, it’s not working the way it’s supposed to.

[chrishajer]

If you have access to subversion, it is easiest. If you don’t, you can download all the bbPress files, but you end up not getting the BackPress files.

svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ ./bbpress

will get you the latest trunk version, which is basically 1.0.2 with bug fixes, plus login-less posting and subscribe to topic.

Otherwise, you have to get it here:

https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/2432/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip

from the bottom of this page:

https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk

Then you have to get BackPress.

http://backpress.automattic.com/browser/trunk

I’ve never done it this way; I use subversion normally, so I’m not sure how well this works.

[Petehds]

Tried the bbvideo as you suggested. Does not work. Tests are still posted under “Interior Decorating & Design Forum. There are two different test posts.

What went wrong or isn’t the plugin working?

[chrishajer]

Does this answer help you?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-move-the-forum-main-theme-to-the-top-and-latest-discussion-topic-to-the-bottom

[chrishajer]

On this page:

http://www.homedesignsense.com/forum/topic/video-test

There is no embedded video, just the code you pasted in there. The plugin is not working. It did not parse your post for the video bbcode and replace it with embed code, which is what the plugin is SUPPOSED to be doing.

I have a theme and the latest topics appear on the front page before the forums list.

I want the forums list to appear before

This is the front page PHP – Any help is greatly appreciated – thanks

chrishajer – tried posting the video link. No video just a headline. Should a video show up or should it send you to the video page?

This is the page. don’t know if you will see it without being logged in.

[kevinjohngallagher]

according to plugin users ….plugin throwing errors & Exceptions ?

Could you please give us the Errors / Exceptions?

Did you test it before and after putting it on your website?

I’m also sorry to say that your E-mail issues are outwith our control.

[KentonMr]

I understand where you come from in that statement.

However, in some forums (especially one of the forums on the site I am building I do not want users repeating the same topic and would want them to add to the topic that has already been started.

Ideally with a user friendly warning or a redirect to that previously started topic.

Anyway a bit of hard coding and some reuse later I have a working button on the main site

using bb_get_forum() to check that the forum exists before

testing $bbdb->get_var($bbdb->prepare(“SELECT topic_id FROM $bbdb->topics WHERE topic_title = %s”, $topic_title));

seems to resolve this issue.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Well, one login works really well if you follow the steps. Don’t rely on the old “5 minute install” or whatever its called these days.

And email notifications has been working as a plugin for about 2 years, and recently Matt decided that it was key to roll it into the core, so you can actually get it working out of the box with teh latest trunk version (which is actually good/stable and an upgrade on bbPress1.0.2).

[_ck_]

Neither is “add your plugin”

It’s also missing the tag cloud.

Hopefully they will test and fixup the plugin section soon!

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hi Wallis,

Could you be so kind as to give us some more information?

bbpress version?

PHP versionon server?

I think this is the bug from the latest version of PHP, but i can’t be sure yet.

[Rich Pedley]

all i did was a did a link to: view.php?view=latest

It works without anything else required.

[gerikg]

Anyone else can help with this?

[perrym]

Wow, I downloaded the latest bbPress 1.0.2, unzipped it, copied it to a folder /bbpress off my main directory, types in http://www.mysite.com/bbpress and bbPress asked for my user name and PW.

I entered my user name and PW for my site and I then get a blank page.

Come on guys – I installed Simple:Press and had users posting in just 15 minutes.

I’m using bbPress with BuddyPress but guys you’ve got to do better than a blank screen.

If anyone can help me I’ll take the help, if not I’ll chuck this program and have users up and posting in 15 minutes with Simple:Press.

This is really disappointing….

P.S.

When I get your log-in screen I get the “Page not found” 404 error if that helps.

And yes I’m using WP 2.9.2 and I’ve used WP for 3+ years now so I know what I’m doing.

[kevinjohngallagher]

Four little bugs with the theme:

1) Pagination duplication on Profile page:

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

2) Pagination on Profile page:

Posts started will only appear/work on the first page. As soon as you move to page 2 or above, it says you’ve not started any ( haha, we all know I’ve started more than i should have ;-] )

3) bbPress Edit area:

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

It’s not been looked at in the slightest. Even teh default styles haven’t been applied.

4) bbpress Edit area:

If you write some code in a <code> tag. and edit your post, bbPress now puts in <p> and <br /> tags into your code on every line. If yuo’re syslexic like me and struggle with the small font, and edit code based posts a few times to remove errors, you get alot of added code.

5) RSS feed:

The new RSS feed has new/added HTML. If you’re RSS reader is a mail client (say google or windows live mail) then it strips these extra tags, but if you’re not using an overly sophisticated RSS client, you see everything wrapped in a <p> tag.

From what I can tell, and this may be down to the latest trunk version rather than the theme, it appears to wrap each paragraph twice in the <p> tags.

Thanks to Noel or whoever at Automattic is working on fixing these, we apprecaite it
