buddypress, bbpress, and forum template

[njumara 2]

Hi everyone, I have like six issues to ask about and some of them are theme related and some aren't. I know that some of them should be asked in the bbpress support forum, but I thought I'd lay them out and break the one issue per post rule just in case anyone had insight into my problems. First off, love the theme, it looks great and lots of it is working great. What isn't working can hopefully be easily fixed and is probably the result of me not knowing what I'm doing. (that happens a lot) I'll try to be as concise as possible and not enter into the world of the novel. It all started on a rainy November night, when the smell of burnt almonds reminded him of unrequited love. (couldn't resist) Anyway issues: 1) Removing the Pagelines box from the sidebar: I've checked on this and found a post about setting the images in the bb admin area. But, for the life of me I can't find it. Under Appearance it just gives me the option to switch theme and I can't find anything in Settings. Thoughts? 2) Buddypress log in and bbpress log in: When I login to buddypress, it doesn't show that I'm logged in when visiting the forum? But if I login at the forum, it show up as logged in the top buddypress bar on the main site. What did I do wrong? 3) Buddypress top bar: This is displaying fine on the main page. Is it supposed to show up on the forum theme as well? 4) Avatars: The forum isn't finding the avatars of my users from Buddypress. All avatars are enabled but their not showing up. This may be a bbpress issue but I thought I'd ask in case it's theme related? 5) I don't have anymore issues at this time, but wait and I will be back with more questions. Thanks everyone for your time and help, it's really appreciated.

In the forum? Well you have several options for your forum inside of the PlatformPro admin... just enable them under 'custom code'

2) Buddypress log in and bbpress log in: When I login to buddypress, it doesn't show that I'm logged in when visiting the forum? But if I login at the forum, it show up as logged in the top buddypress bar on the main site. What did I do wrong?

This one you should take to BuddyPress, as PageLines just supports their framework 'graphically' meaning it's accommodated with layout and graphics rules...

3) Buddypress top bar: This is displaying fine on the main page. Is it supposed to show up on the forum theme as well?

This is an issue on PageLines end, it is very tough to get the admin bar on the forum because bbPress 'purges' all the hooks making some hard to recover and reload (technical...) We are working on it however.

4) Avatars: The forum isn't finding the avatars of my users from Buddypress. All avatars are enabled but their not showing up. This may be a bbpress issue but I thought I'd ask in case it's theme related?

Not sure, the avatars in the forum by default are handled using 'gravatars' ... you could also try out some plugins or ask the guys at BuddyPress about this one. Hope that helps Nick.

Thanks so much Andrew, I realize answering the same simple questions over and over can't be fun. Thanks for your patience.
