Best thing about bbPress = It’s Light Weight! and Extreme Flexibility!
Hi there,
my turn, I suppose!
Well, the ioni2 theme is deeply integrated with WordPress (it relies on WP to build menu and parts of footer, for instance), but in any other aspect it is purely bbPress:
Uses:
- Akismet
- Allow Images (allthough truth to tell it is not working as well as it is supposed to.. but alas!)
- bbPress Sitemap Generator
- bbPress Web Compression (A must have!)
- Related Topics
- Simple Online List
- Topic Icons (almost useless with my theme)
There are not much people of the forum so you may freely check it out and try post anything to see how it is working! The theme is translated into Russian (although written in English), and shall you desire to get it – just let me know
The same goes for the translation.The major point here is that the theme is HTML5 (I keep developing it, just keep that in mind) – and it looks exacly the same in IE, FF, Chrome, Opera and Safari

This forum is integrated with my WP blog, which is a weather/severe weather blog. The site is finished, its just picking up some users that is a but tough
feel free to check it out. If you at all feel like you want to register, do it through WP, not bbPress. I haven’t altered the login system on bbPress yet
I started a canoeing specific forum. It’s finally starting to get some traffic. I’ve used some standard plugins as well as writing some of my own.
_CK_’s plugins are indispensable.
here’s a could packed into one that do a lot of SEO stuff like titles, canonical links and opening links in new windows.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Target Blank
Description: append target="_blank" to all links and other fun stuff
Author: James
Version: 1
*/
//add rel=external to post links... there's also some stuff in here to allow more tags
function bb_target_blank( $text ) {
$text = preg_replace('|<a (.+?)>|i', '<a $1 target="_blank">', $text);
return $text;
}
add_filter('pre_post', 'bb_target_blank');
// Add Tags with allow_tags
function allow_more_tags( $tags ) {
$tags['p'] = array('style' => array());
$tags['h3'] = array('style' => array());
$tags['span'] = array('style' => array());
$tags['b'] = array('style' => array());
$tags['em'] = array('style' => array());
$tags['ol'] = array('style' => array());
$tags['target'] = array('style' => array());
$tags['iframe'] = array('style' => array());
return $tags;
}
add_filter( 'bb_allowed_tags', 'allow_more_tags' );
function meta_keywords() {
global $tags;
if (!empty($tags)) {
$keywords="";
foreach ($tags as $t) {$keywords.=$t->raw_tag.', ';}
echo "n".'<meta NAME="keywords" CONTENT="'.trim($keywords,", ").'">'."n";
}
} add_action('bb_head', 'meta_keywords',
;
function set_canonical_links() {
global $page;
if (is_front()) {
$url = (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) ? "https://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] : "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
echo '
<link rel="canonical" href="'.$url.'" />'.PHP_EOL;
} elseif (bb_is_topic()) {
$tlink = get_topic_link();
if ($page > 1) {
$turl = $tlink.'/page/'.$page;
} else {
$turl = get_topic_link();
}
echo '
<link rel="canonical" href="'.$turl.'" />'.PHP_EOL;
} elseif (is_forum()) {
echo '
<link rel="canonical" href="'.get_forum_link().'" />'.PHP_EOL;
} else {
return;
}
}
add_action('bb_head','set_canonical_links');
?>This one makes better page titles…it has some canoe specific stuff in it but I think you can see how it works and change it for your needs.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Better Titles
Author: James Dixson
*/
add_filter('bb_title', 'titlemodify');
function titlemodify( $title ) {
//your code that does something to $title;
switch ( bb_get_location() ) {
case 'topic-page':
$title = get_topic_title() . ' - ' . get_forum_name() . ' — Adventure Canoe Forum' ;
break;
case 'front-page':
$title = bb_option('name') . ' — Canoeing and Paddling Discussion' ;
break;
case 'forum-page':
$find = 'Canoe';
$string = get_forum_name() ;
if(strstr($string,$find)){
$title = get_forum_name() . ' — Adventure Canoe Forum' ;
}else{
$title = 'Canoe ' . get_forum_name() . ' — Adventure Canoe Forum' ;
}
break;
case 'profile-page':
$title = 'Profile for ' . get_user_name() . ' - Adventure Canoe Forum — Canoeing and Paddling Discussion' ;
break;
}
return $title;
}
?>Anyway enjoy… and if you like canoeing post on the Adventure Canoe Forum

I know the address to this forum isn’t that great – I’ll be getting a .com domain for it some time next year (hopefully January).
Enjoy!

@Taeo: That sounds very interesting!
And you have an excellent forum! If you ever make it a stable plugin – please let us know. I, for one, would make huge use of it!
I did mention how I my bbPress to be a community site at the recent IRC.Great work!
I completely agree with you on that. There would be no point in putting effort into making a stable plugin for a version of bbPress that will soon be out of date.
I’d really love to see the developments of this.
Wish you luck with it
Hi Michael888
Nice work. I registered to your forum too
But I am pretty new to this and I am wondering what plugins you used to get the
Board Statistics
From my reading it may be a combo of plugins.
Hi rleon!
Thanks for joining!
The smaller statistics were entered manually based on functions in the built-in statistics file, except for the newly registered members which I wrote myself.
The actual ‘Detailed Statistics’ comes from a plugin called MyViews. Search it up in the plugin browser.
I also have a ton of other plugins – which is why the forum looks somewhat advanced.
Regards
Michael
