Wie installiere ich ein bbPress Thema? Ich habe "my-Vorlagen"-Verzeichnis entpackt und ich mein Thema in einen Ordner in diesem Verzeichnis. Aber wenn ich in mein bbPress Armaturenbrett, zeigt der Screenshot für mein neues Thema ein Leerzeichen mit einem roten X in der oberen linken Ecke. Wenn ich auf "Aktivieren" das Thema es zeigt einen gesichtslosen Version mit bbPress überhaupt kein Thema.

Actually bbpress is now available a plugin for WordPress, bbpress 2.0 plugin, which might be the next step for me. As it is not possible to import/convert bbpress 0.9x to the plugin 2.0 version, I had to go this upgrade path via bbpress 1.1

Switching to this latest and last standalone bbpress worked flawless as it seems by now.

Just two plugins I used seem to be obsolete, as they are buikt in now.

One is the plugin 'Subscribe to Topic' which gave you the chance to be emailed on updates.
Possibly you have to use the 'Notify me of follow-up posts via email' marker below to renew your email subscription - we will see.

The second plugin not needed anymore is 'Topics Per Page' for pagination, I just set topics per page in the dashboard now.

On converting the database I realized once again that all spam and deleted posts/topics are still kept in this database...

I deleted them in phpmyadmin in four steps:

First 'delete' all spam topics in your forum dashboard to get marked as deleted

(BACKUP FIRST by EXPORTING, WHO KNOWS)

Second delete all posts in this marked as deleted topics as sql in phpmyadmin:

DELETE FROM bb_posts WHERE post_id IN (
    SELECT post_id FROM (
        SELECT DISTINCT(p.post_id)
        FROM bb_posts AS p LEFT JOIN bb_topics AS t ON p.topic_id=t.topic_id
        WHERE t.topic_status=1
    ) AS bb_posts_in_deleted_topics
);

Third: remove all deleted posts:

DELETE FROM bb_posts WHERE post_status=1;

At last remove all deleted topics:

DELETE FROM bb_topics WHERE topic_status=1;

I think now the database is cleaner and you should recount posts in the Tools of your Dashboard, just tick all boxes.

make_excerpt(get_post_text($post->post_id));

and the last answers excerpt by using

make_excerpt( get_post_text( $topic->topic_last_post_id ) );

The problem arising is that with only one post it will display the text twice, as the first post is also the last one.

The full code I use so far is:

<p class="quest">
<?php $post = bb_get_first_post(get_topic_id());
echo make_excerpt(get_post_text($post->post_id)); ?>
</p>
<p class="ans">
<?php echo make_excerpt( get_post_text( $topic->topic_last_post_id ) ); ?>
</p>

To solve this I am going to echo The ID of each post to see what's going on.
I want to show an answer only if the first post's ID $post->post_id is not equal to $topic->topic_last_post_id.

The code above with an echo of the ID:

<p class="quest">
<?php $post = bb_get_first_post(get_topic_id());
echo $post->post_id;
echo make_excerpt(get_post_text($post->post_id)); ?>
</p>
<p class="ans">
<?php echo $topic->topic_last_post_id;
echo make_excerpt( get_post_text( $topic->topic_last_post_id ) ); ?>
</p>

Have to post now to see something .. ;-)
How I did it will come as soon it works in the answer to this post

I wanted to add an additional sub sub menu page to my Arthemia theme. As of now it only allows for Page and Sub Page and not sure how to code another level.

Thank you in advance,

Matthew

I have managed to download and install BBPress and WordPress and I got them to sync up with the plugins from WordPress that make that happen. Now I just need to tweek it just right so it will behave and look like I want it too.

It would be nice to find someone who has been through these steps. I could use some pointers.

Installation went easy, putting it in the my-plugins/ folder after setting the number of topics or posts I wanted on each page. Edit topics-per-page.php to do this.

Now in front-page.php you still have to place the call for the function front_page_pages(); AFTER <?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?> </table>

Sure putting this code in the file and not activating the plugin first will make your frontpage stop running after this call. It's better to check first 'if function_exists'

In my front-page.php it looks like this now:

<?php endforeach; endif; // $topics ?>
</table>
<?php	if (function_exists('front_page_pages')) { ?>
<div class="nav"><?php front_page_pages(); ?></div>
<?php } // end front_page_pages ?>

Where the first two lines should be already in your file!

Finally in readme.txt it says 'if you use rewrite slugs you MUST add a rule to your .htaccess'

The suggested rule RewriteRule ^page/([0-9]+)/?$ /forums/?page=$1 [L,QSA] works well if your forum is installed in a folder called /forums/

I installed it in the root folder of a subdomain, so for this installation I used

RewriteRule ^page/([0-9]+)/?$ /?page=$1 [L,QSA]

Now I enjoy pagination on the frontpage of bbPress, thanks to the Contributors _ck_ and mdawaffe

That's by far not as easy as in WordPress itself, not just an option or a matter of style.css.

In BBPress 0.9.0.4 you have to pass a parameter to <?php bb_tag_heat_map(); ?>
You find this call in front-page.php of your template (theme)

Default on my forum was 8pt and 22pt for smallest and largest, to change this I succeeded by changing <?php bb_tag_heat_map(); ?> to

<?php bb_tag_heat_map(array( 'smallest' => 10, 'largest' => 30, 'unit' => 'px', 'limit' => 40 )); ?>

or to get points pt again another parameter:

<?php bb_tag_heat_map(array( 'smallest' => 8, 'largest' => 18, 'unit' => 'pt', 'limit' => 40 )); ?>

Just try if that works for you to change the size of your tag cloud in BBPress.

I edited this bbpress_sitemap.php on line 16 to look like this:

$sitemap_file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/sitemap.xml";

as my bbpress is installed in the root folder of a sub-domain, the sitemap.xml should also be in the root.

After changing the reference to the location of this file (sitemap.xml) I uploaded bbpress_sitemap.php to the new created my-plugins folder.

Before enabling it I created an empty file sitemap.xml in the root of the forum and set the rights to 777.

I enabled the plugin and to trigger the sitemap creation just opened one post and saved it. With FileZilla ftp client I could see that the previously empty file now increased in size - it was successfully created

Still get problems with empty links to tag pages however...

The content of my current robots.txt file is now:

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*
Disallow:

sitemap: http://forum.go41.de/sitemap.xml

Actually I disallow most of the folders, still would like to disallow 'login'

Sitemap I use is from: http://boakes.org/download/bbpress_sitemap.txt
