k2 for bbPress
Tags: Blog, WordPress
UPDATE: This theme has been updated, please see the new post, thanks.
I’m thinking about hosting a forum for some friends to use, so I thought I’d take a look at bbpress; I look after phpbb for my better half, and find the patching & modding a bit of a pain, the stuff photomatt does never lets me down, so I thought I’d take a look at his attempt at a forum.
For “regular” forum users I think they may find the interface a bit of a shock, but that doesn’t bother me, there are some features missing, but the community have been putting plugins together to plug the gap (poor, poor pun, sorry !).
The main thing I noticed was a lack of theme repository and EDIT: Theme & Plugin Repo here at http://proforums.palmansworld.com, I really hate green with an absolute passion, so although the default theme is slick, I couldn’t stand looking at the green ! Anyway, since this could be a service on my work in progress, I wanted it to match the k2 theme I’m using, I found there wasn’t one available to download, so to cut a long post short….
It’s a work in progress, there’s a demo available here sorry demo closed., I don’t think it’s a bad 1st crack !
EDIT: I’ve added a screenshot since the demo site will probably change is down.

Hi there and thanks for the great bbpress theme. I’m trying to incorporate it into my K2 driven site and wonder if you could help me with something please. I’ve replaced the blue background header with an image file but am troubled by the white login info that appears towards the left of the header area. Is there an easy to shift the login info to the right hand side of the screen please? I’ve played around with what appears to be the relevant entries in style.css but can’t get it working properly. Please help! Many thanks in advance. Richard.
Try adding the following to style.css
form.login {
float:right;
}

We have just finished work on a brand new theme switcher for bbPress themes, and we are sending I’m sending you this message to ask for your permission in including K2 for bbPress into the theme switcher. Thanks.

yeah, no probs Brad, include away :o)
I’ve made a different bbpress theme switcher and added your theme here:

The theme switcher can be found in the bottom right.
The nice part is you can pass the theme name in the url to demonstrate, no matter what the default theme is.
that’s cool!
Hi All,
I’ve updated k2. The new version is built from the latest bbPress style sheet so has all the correct styling for gravatars etc.
