Insert Forum | Sidebar on each page

[Kajover]

Hey!

I have two questions:

1. How can I set up the latest comments, last entries, and links on each page under the list of the subpages? And how can I show up "archive" in the homesite and on every other page?

2. How can I insert a Forum (e.g. PHPbb) into a page?

Could you answer like you describe it to a newbie?^^


Thx a lot!

Open Sidebar.php and find this code for displaying Archives :
<?php /* If this is the an archive page or a search page */ if ( (is_archive()) or (is_search()) or (is_paged()) or ($notfound == '1') ) { ?>
<div class="sb-months"><h2><?php _e('Archives'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
</ul>
</div>


You can add is_single() for single pages and is_home() for index page.

This will make it appear on all pages of your blog :

<?php /* If this is the an archive page or a search page */ if ( (is_archive()) or (is_search()) or (is_paged()) or (is_home()) or (is_single()) or ($notfound == '1') ) { ?>
<div class="sb-months"><h2><?php _e('Archives'); ?></h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
</ul>
</div>


2. phpBB is a forum which is different from WordPress. You can install phpBB on your server and link it on your blog.

If you want an easier way to manage which sidebar modules show up on which page, check out Nybble's Sidebar Modules (http://getk2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37) - it's way easier than editing the PHP, and when you want to shuffle things around, it's super easy.

THX A LOT for this GREEAAT Module....

how can I make a forum or is there even another great plugin?

[lisa]

I don't think there is a forum plugin... yet. You could try WP's forum software, BBpress. I would think it would be relativly easy to restyle to match your site, but I'm not sure. Also, AFAIK, not too many people like it. (If you don't like the WP forum, you probably won't like it.)

Your best bet is to find a forum software you like, and then try to skin it to fit your site. Hopefully, someone will make a K2 skin for some forum somewhere, and then we can all start modding to our little heart's content.

Take a look at this site. http://www.wyntonmarsalis.org/forum/list.php?2
This would be enough for me... Is this BBpress?!

[sdimbert]

Isn't the site mentioned here (http://getk2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=102) a K2 blog with an embedded vB forum?
