Your opinion: Profile above or to left of post?

Published on January 21st, 2008 by

What is your opinion on this layout issue? Do you think member profile should be placed above each post or to left of post?

IMO main advantage of placing profile to left of post is readability. This forum is good example of that. The member profile (and avatar) does not break up the flow of the discussion.

On the other hand, the “left side” approach seems to limit your layout options. For example, if you want add a right hand column for hot tags, ads, etc., you start running out of width room.

What do you think?

Advice on integrating WP blog and bbPress in Swedish

Published on January 21st, 2008 by Göran

I want to create a WordPress blog and integrate it with a discussion forum in bbPress, They are said to work well together. Every new post in the blog should generate a new discussion thread in the forum. If possible I would also like to have a more static first page in the blog where new posts occupy perhaps half of the area. I would also like to have some space for short forms of RSS-feeds from other websites and blogs.

I like to do all of it in Swedish and want to do it as easily as possible. It is then practical to use a theme that is already translated into Swedish, right? I think K2 looks clean and is translated and ready for many plugins. It is supposed to be easy to customize so changing the color scheme into someting like I have in my present blog is hopefully easy? (Görans digitaltips http://gorandig.blogspot.com)

I post this in both WP and bbPress forum since it concerns both.

All advice is gratefully recieved! Address to blogs and forums doing similar things are most welcome!

I found a bug for the latest version of bbPress.

If you delete a topic, tags for that topic still remains in the hot tags list.

How can I set my board index to TheBoard.php?

Published on January 20th, 2008 by

I am integrating bbPress and WordPress, and have them both in the root folder. I renamed the index.php that comes with press to board.php, but the message board keeps trying to go to the main site URL, thinking it is board.php.

Is there any easy fix for this?

Thanks

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for making the best forum software I’ve used to date. It was an easy install and didn’t take too much effort to make it do what I wanted. I’ve been using it for probably about six months now and I really appreciate the flexibility and simplicity.

Keep up the good work!

youlookfab forum: keeping things simple

Published on January 19th, 2008 by

Just fired up our new forum: http://www.youlookfab.com/welookfab

Love to know what people think. I’ve stripped out a lot of the great features that work for a techie crown, but might confuse newer users (e.g. tags, favorites, etc.). We might bring those back in over time.

Everything is achieved in the template/theme, except for a minor hack to create an alternative post form.

The experience is integrated with a WordPress blog, but this is no deeper than sharing the same header. Databases are separate and users only sign up to bbPress.

There are many potential improvements, but one thing that bugs me in particular is that there are two signups on the site: one for bbPress and another for the blog post notification. I would love to integrate these two things. Any pointers on how to do so would be appreciated.

Thanks to the bbPress team for a fun and flexible forum system!
