BBPress and DMS

[jmad 80]

Anyone using BBpress and DMS?  If so does it work well?

I have used it on a couple sites most recently switch this one over from simplepress (simplepress and dms do not like each other) to bbpress.

creating a bbpress child theme is a must if you plan to do any extensive styling or editing.

 

It works pretty well together there are some issues with the reply php that i have not worked out (php hurts my head).

Once upon a time there was a Pagelines/bbpress plugin.  Does that still exist somewhere and does it work with DMS2?  

 

Aires yes, I'm thinking child theme for bbpress.  Not sure the client wants to invest that time/money.  I might have to go a different route.  Really, hoping to get it rolling with DMS2 though.

Aires What's the reply PHP issue that you mentioned?

Hi, jmad

 

The reply issue I was talking about is when a user goes to edit a reply after the primary post.

For example  I start  a topic and then a couple users respond but then one of the users wants to edit is response. Instead of loading up reply php so the user can edit it takes them to a post page.

So the only way to edit is in the back end. 

 

The response i got from bbpress forums was ...

 

see if creating a bbpress.php file could fix it.

php is not my strong point... but i have a bbpress.php file in my child theme

Interestingly the edit thing doesn't seem to be an issue for me, yet at least (found the same issue).

 

On your install did you pull everything for bbpress into your child theme or just write over the CSS?  I already had my child theme installed and am thinking I might just override the CSS.

I pulled everything from bbpress default into my childtheme

jmad Override the css will work just the same. The reason I copy the defualt was i wanted to change the name of the forum roles and permissions and try and fix the reply issue. I wasn't sure if putting the bbpress functions would work in the functions php in my DMS child theme.

Aires Man sorry to bother you again.  So did you copy the default folder and place it in your child theme or just take the contents of the default folder (js, extras, css, bbpress)?

[jmad 80]

never mind.

This is how i have it set up I have a bbpress folder in side my childtheme inside the bbpress folder i have the php pages. The bbpress docs say that you can drag default folder into the child theme and edit there but i found that if the php file is not in the main folder the changes will not take effect.

So all i did was copy the php file I wanted to edit into the bbpress folder I created
