bbPress ThemesI m about to put a forum online but every THEME in my forum contain some SUB-THEME I dont want it to be too long can someone help me? PLZ
Like for exemple:
Internet & Technology
--Design
--Programming
--Web
Business
--Marketing
--Productivity
and so on....
Are you asking how to make sub-forums?
Just go into admin->content->forums and make a new forum,
then after it's saved, you can drag it underneath any other existing forum.
In your example you'd first make Internet & Technology, then Business, and then make the others. After you make the others, drag them under the first two as desired and save.
Or are you asking how to make each sub-forum look different when it's viewed?
If not, it's not a "theme" question and you have the wrong terminology.
Yes sorry, I meant "Sub-forum" and want them to look different and stay visible.
Thanks.
When you say "stay visible", you mean you want sub-forum names listed on the main page in the list of forums? That should be fairly straightforward to program. If you ask that on the bbpress.org forum I bet someone can come up with the answer for you in a few days if not right away.
Different themes for different forums is tricky but could be done.
It is possible to change the theme switcher to detect what forum it is in and simply stay in a certain theme. You might want to get all your seperate themes developed first and use the theme switcher to make sure you like all of them.
If you don't know how to code and can't find anyone to hack the switcher for you, I'd do it for a small donation.
Ok great, I will be happy if u help me with the swither. Can u send me a sample site that use swicther?
thanks
You're on a site with the switcher 
Look in the bottom right hand corner of almost any page here.
Ok got it; but sorry if I make hard for u to understand what I really want it because I m new to the forum industry.Can u take a look at " http://9rules.com/personal/notes/ " all the way at the bottom to see how arrange each "main community". That basically what I want. I will b very happy If u can help me.
Thanks
Well 9rules essentially changed the term "forum" into "community".
They just hacked bbpress to take away the word "/forum/" in the urls for the pages.
Each of their "communities" is simply a forum, perhaps with a different style.css to make it look a little different.
You can edit any of your templates to put specific links to any of your forums. If all you want is simple color and minor style changes, you don't need a theme switcher, you just need to load a supplemental style.css based on the forum (or topic within the forum).
I think I can whip-up a new plugin to add the additional style.css based on forum number. But the important question is if you know how to use css and make it do the style changes you want? Because that would be a project-stopper if you don't know how.
Ok I understand but How do I put more than One forums or communities in one page and make them work as they suppose to.
Well the "latest discussions" on the front page shows topics from all forums. But if you wanted two columns of just two forums that would need some template modification.
9rules does NOT actually have more than one forum on a page, so I am still uncertain what you want the end result to look like. The list they have at the bottom of the page is simply hard coded with links to each forum. It's just plain HTML. You'd have to just write the links with <ul> </ul> etc.
