k2 for bbPress – Updated v0.02

It’s been a while since I’ve used bbPress, but a major milestone from the automattic guys has pretty much broken the theme.

I’ve done a complete re-write; as before I’m only distributing the style.css (and a screenshot) no template.php files, this ensure that no security issues are associated with my theme.

Installation

Download unzip k2 for bbpress in that directory
Under “design” and “themes” select k2
done

The screenshot has been updated, existing users may find things move a little, this is due to the changes in bbPress, but hopfully it’s all for the better.

bbCode plugin for bbPress

I’ve ported the bbCode Plugin for WordPress by Jeff Moore to bbPress, seems to work fine; not all the bbCode is marked up as it’s not allowed by default with bbPress, I plan to fix that in version 0.2, but for now Enjoy !

Download bbCode Plugin for bbPress

Installation is simple in the current implementation of bbpress, just rename bbpress_bbcode.txt to bbpress_bbcode.php and place in your my-plugins directory (See bbpPress documentation for full details.)

This plugin has been tested on v0.75 & 1.0-Alpha so hopefully will work on anything in the middle.

Avatar BBPress Plugin Browser

I’ve been playing with bbpress, by default there are no Avatars, I’ve made a little adjustment to the plugin by Joshua Hutchins

Here is my Forum Post: Avatar bbPress plugin browser

I wrote an extra function for your plugin so that the avatar can be displayed on the profile page…

function profile_avatar() {
global $user;
if ( get_avatar_loc ( $user->ID ) ) {
echo ‘<img src=”‘ . get_avatar_loc( $user->ID ) . ‘” alt=”‘ . $user->user_login . ‘s Avatar”‘ . ‘ />’;
}
}

Styles & img sizes could be added into the tag as desired…. then in profile.php template, add…

<?php if ( function_exists(‘profile_avatar’) ) { profile_avatar(); } ?>

hope that helps
