Heya,

I really liked the new Vanilla 2 theme, but after 4 hours or trying to get it to install with NGINX, I moved onto bbpress.

I like the simplicity of bbpress, but was hoping for a snazzier theme. So I ported over the Vanilla 2 theme to bbpress.

I think it’s a nice example of where bbpress can go if it maybe sheds some of the legacy tabular layout.

This is bbpress 1.02

Cheers,

Looks good. In Firefox 3.6, the Remember Me checkbox overlaps the submit button on the homepage sidebar.

[@kevinryman Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

That’s amazing! Do you mind sharing that bbPress theme?

[@bdkekos Member 14 years, 9 months ago]

I like it a lot. I agree with Kevin, you should share it!

[@michael888 Participant 14 years, 9 months ago]

I like it too – I would love it if you could share it; even if it’s just a skeleton that others can work with (as I understand this theme has been mostly customized for CheckFront, though I may be wrong).

Wonderful work.

[@checkfront Member 14 years, 9 months ago]

Thanks guys,

I’ll need to remove some custom stuff in the theme. Will package it up some time this week.

Cheers,

[@moochyschwag Member 14 years, 8 months ago]

Checkfront, the link isn’t working.

[@chrishajer Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Worked for me. Here’s the direct link:

[@michael888 Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

I see it’s now using Vanilla – not liking bbPress Checkfront?

[@checkfront Member 14 years, 7 months ago]

Yeah we had to switch. The current bbpress is missing needed functionality (read-only only forums, e-mail notifications). The existing plug-ins seem abandoned.

We’ll check back on 1.1. It’s looking good.

[@gideons Member 14 years, 6 months ago]

wow

this is definitely a very nice theme

I have a few questions:

***on the forum list

it shows categories and subforums and its post count

first remark: my post count on categories is always 0, as they are locked

can they not show the 0, or even better show the sumtotal of all subforums?

second: can I have it to show only categories and their sumtotals

and when i click a category it expands to show the subforums

****Extra Lines

one: just below the bbcrumb, same line as just above

and color in between lightgrey same color as search box

two

on the bottom, just above the footer text

and color below lightgrey same color as search box

***bbcrumb

can bbcrumb, when i click on forum show me a page with all categories listed, instead of front page

just before the bbcrumb on same include a link to home

so it would be like this

home forum/category/subforum/topic/post

***PostView

the tag overview on the right is a simple list, could it be a cloud or multiple columns, it takes up a lot of space if somebody enters in a lot of tags

greatly appreciate any help you can give me

[@kevinjohngallagher Member 14 years, 6 months ago]

Hi Gideons,

I suggest you talk to the author directly at http://www.jasonmorehouse.com/bbpress-vanilla-theme

[@gideons Member 14 years, 6 months ago]

when a logged out or guest user goes to the post page

the login box area gets mixed with the yellow post info box

as soon as the suer logs in

that problem is solved and the yellow area just moves down to make room for user info

how can I make the same behavior for a guest user?

again i like the design, clean and simple

[@kevinjohngallagher Member 14 years, 6 months ago]

Hi Gideons,

Mate, with respect, these aren’t really bbPress issues, it’s an issue with an independant theme given away some 2-3 months ago.

It sounds to me like a basic web design CSS issue, thats outwith teh scope of this board, but if you’re still struggling, please contact the theme author at: http://www.jasonmorehouse.com/bbpress-vanilla-theme

[@yexingzhe Participant 14 years, 4 months ago]

i love this theme but i only got it form here http://hotfile.com/dl%2F41099708%2F7751e0e%2FCF-bb-vanilla_1.0.zip.html?uploadid=41099708&fname=CF-bb-vanilla_1.0.zip.html&hash=7751e0e&lang=chs

and i found no imgs in the images dir.So i think i did not get the full pack.

[@bierleeuw Participant 14 years, 4 months ago]

Not working?

[@bierleeuw Participant 14 years, 4 months ago]

I was hoping for a copy of this wonderfull theme, but I can’t find it anymore. Was already looking on the internet for it. Could someone help me with it and how is it with the support of this theme?

[@nuesha Member 14 years, 3 months ago]

i like it.. nice! how did u do that?

[@_ck_ Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

Since the original source is no longer available

and the theme is GPL I am mirroring it here:

http://bbshowcase.org/themes/cf-vanilla.zip

(Note the original poster’s link is no longer running bbpress)

[@alexiss Member 14 years, 3 months ago]

It is a nice theme quite similar to one of phpdugg’s theme.

[@norby500 Member 14 years, 2 months ago]

hello, i was wondering how do i remove the top header from the actual template? i tried removing the header tag and it went funny…is there anyway i can take it out of the header template file so it just shows the rest of the page as i’m going to be using a css frame at the top for a custom header

[@norby500 Member 14 years, 2 months ago]

okay i fixed the above problem now , i properly looked through the header and made the right adjustments!

i was wondering if anybody had a fix for when somebody searches for threads and it displays the thread in the results, if the name is too long it breaks the layout and makes it look terrible, any solutions?
