i just downloaded and installed bbpress. everything worked fine. i have the most recent release of wordpress installed in my main site directory and bbpress is installed in the /forums/ directory.
when i go to www.mysite.com/forums/ it displays the main page, but with no images/styles. when i try to view my css file in the browser (http://www.mysite.com/forums/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css) it displays my main wordpress page.
i have pretty permalinks running on both and would like to keep it that way.
Why does New Posted Topics default into Hot Tags?
I thought Hot Tags were to provide links to other web pages or Web sites.
Can Hot Tags links be added through Admin or do they have to be edited in a file and FTPed?
Is there a Administration plugin, which provides more functionality to add, delete, and edit?
Hello. Can anyone please tell me how to customize title tags in the forums? How can I have a title tag that is different from the name of the forum?
I looked around for this info, but was unable to find it.
Thanks!
I’m really anxious to get my hands on the BB_Query class because it looks like it’ll help me a lot with my quest to integrate Vanilla into a Flash movie clip. Does anyone know when the next version of bbPress will be released as the blog states it will contain the new BB_Query class.
Cheers

Hi,
I’m basically wondering if there is API documentation to help me with my quest. I’m wanting to show discussions in a flash movie so essentially I just need to access the appropriate functions to access thread data in the database but I don’t know where to start.
I’m hoping for some pointers in the right direction. Essentially what I want to do is use bbPress as a backend and display discussions in a flash movie.
So to sum-up, I need the ability to access thread and post information from Flash.
Thanks for your time

Since bbpress.org doesn’t have a “tips and tricks” I’ll post this here.
If you’d like to tweak your profile.php template to show the total posts and topics started by a user, add this code under “bb_profile_data()”
<?
echo "forum posts: <b>".$bbdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM bb_posts WHERE poster_id = $user_id AND post_status = 0")."</b> "
." topics started: <b>".$bbdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM bb_posts WHERE poster_id = $user_id AND post_status = 0 AND post_position = 1")."</b>";
?>
I’d make this into a plugin but I don’t know how to append information within the profile (ie. attach to bb_profile_data)
I would like to suggest this forum would seriously benefit from:
1. “Tips and Tricks”
2. “Integration with WordPress”
as two new sub-forums
I’ll probably end up trying to write this myself over the rest of the week but just in case a plugin guru is willing to help…
I’d like to exclude certain sub-forum topics from the latest discussions that are posted on the front page. I know how to tap into the list topics filter but I don’t know how to make it obey only for the front page, because obviously they can’t be excluded from the sub-forum’s own topic list when they are on that page.
In theory I could hack the template to do this but it would be much better via a plugin if possible. I can see other people wanting this feature eventually to help keep that front page list from becoming cluttered.

I’ve recently launched a forum attached to my personal portfolio and blog as a resource and critique center for writers, artists, and designers. 
So far, it’s just myself, my husband, and a few friends, but if you’re interested in commenting on work or showing your own, you’re welcome to stop by and join up.
Thanks to BBPress for making such a simple forum- I got this up and running with the info I’d gleaned about WP in less than a day, and skinned it in a grand total of two hours using the styles I’d already come up with for my WP templates.
It’s bright, but we like it! Hope to see some of you there.
