Taiwantalk – a discussion site for foreigners in Taiwan (Q&A/digg-like design)

  • I just launched my website: http://www.taiwantalk.org/

    Taiwantalk is a free discussion site for the international and English-speaking community in Taiwan. It was modified to look more like a Q&A/digg site than a traditional forum.

    Thanks you very much bbpress Team for this awesome plugin.

  • Haven’t heard about forum sites for English-Speaking Taiwanese nowadays but nice to have you blasted it into this forum.

    Well, it’s a discussion site for foreigners and English-Speaking Taiwanese. There was only one in Taiwan (made with phpbb) called Forumosa.

    Well, keep it up and all the best to you website launch. I am sure it will be a blast specially if it’s for the benefit and welfare of a certain community.

    @janoochen – I really like your setup. How did you accomplish/incorporate your thumbs ratings system?

    I wonder too, can you share?

    Sure, this is an example of loop-topic.php:

    <?php while ( bbp_topics() ) : bbp_the_topic(); ?>

    (etc...)

    <div class="vote-count<?php rating_class($thumbs_number); ?>">
    <h4>
    <?php wp_gdsr_render_article_thumbs(); ?></h4><span><?php votes_text($thumbs_number); ?></span>
    </div><?php $replies_number = bbp_get_topic_reply_count(); ?>

    <div class="reply-count<?php reply_class($replies_number); ?>">
    <h4>
    <?php bbp_topic_reply_count(); ?></h4><span><?php reply_text($replies_number); ?></span>
    </div>

    <div class="freshness-count">
    <h4>
    <?php bbp_topic_freshness_link(); ?></h4><span><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_topic_last_active_id(), 'size' => 14 ) ); ?></span>
    </div>

    (etc…)

    Basically, you just have to place the code that generates the rating inside the bbpress loop. You can place it in files like loop-topic.php, loop-replies.php, etc.

    Almost all voting and rating plugins work this way (I’m using gd star rating).

    The next step is to be able to sort the topics and replies according to their rating. But I’ve already spent one year trying that with no results.

    Hey @janoochen . I’m putting together an examples collection of bbPress 2 forums. Can you just confirm that your forum is running on the bbPress 2 plugin, not the older bbPress 1.x or 0.9 version?
