Well you don't have to change anything, except to add a few lines into the Kakumei template (see readme file). Note that you only have to do this in the basic Kakumei template file (header.php and style.css). No changes are needed for the Blue version of Kakumei. It will automaticly adapt the menu when you choose the blue one!</p> <p>To demostrate, I have added the theme switcher plugin by _ck_, so you can switch between the green and blue Kakumei theme and see how it adapts.</p> <p>In the near future I'll add some more skins. I am thinking to re-make/update the Aardvark theme so it uses the new gravatar option and other new functions bbPress has added over time. When this theme comes available, I'll add a theme's page to the site where you can see and download the theme you want.</p> <p>_Null </p> http://www.bbportal.org/topic.php?id=37#post-71 Sat, 05 Apr 2008 09:45:40 +0000 Null 71@http://www.bbportal.org/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>So it's 4 months since I've done anything with this plugin. So what did I do? I moved to a new appartment, graduated, got a job, got a girl, got a live (lol). All this took up a lot of time. I am thinking to start up the project soon. I already converted the plugin to use jQuery (which made the plugin 90% smaller in size!).</p> <p>Also bbPress has evolved a lot since last time I checked. I am very curious to what they did and how things work now. So perhaps I'm going to finish the beta and release it in the near future (if time let me, since I am very busy at the moment).</p> <p>Stay tuned!</p> <p>_Null </p> http://www.bbportal.org/topic.php?id=36#post-70 Fri, 09 Nov 2007 20:20:04 +0000 Null 70@http://www.bbportal.org/ <p>... I have a real problem. I was converting the portal plugin to use the jQuery, but with the latest release, interface isn't compatible with it anymore! I did some digging and found out that interface it self isn't going to be updated anymore either. Instead of that, they have created jQuery UI.</p> <p>That's some good news, if it wasn't that buggy. They say it's gonna be the official interface like plugin for jQuery, but to be honest, I think they released it too soon. It's still beta (though they say it isn't) and isn't as great as interface was (for now).</p> <p>The down site is that I can't continue to convert bbPortal to jQuery at least untill UI works properly. So I am gonna concentrate on fixing some small bugs and add new stuff that doesn't requier jQuery or the old libary I am using right now.</p> <p>Stay tuned!</p> <p>_Null </p> http://www.bbportal.org/topic.php?id=35#post-69 Tue, 23 Oct 2007 22:04:42 +0000 Null 69@http://www.bbportal.org/ <p>Everything except the css file, database and portal-page.php. You also have to delete the menu plugin.</p> <p>Btw I am back. Got my degree (from school) and I am a Bachelor now :) Still have to decorate my new house aswell. After that I'll take up this project again.</p> <p>Greetz </p> http://www.bbportal.org/topic.php?id=35#post-68 Mon, 08 Oct 2007 15:56:03 +0000 Anonymous 68@http://www.bbportal.org/ <p>What should I replace if I'm upgrading from 1.2 to 1.3? </p> http://www.bbportal.org/topic.php?id=35#post-67 Sun, 12 Aug 2007 10:36:30 +0000 Null 67@http://www.bbportal.org/ <p>bbPortal 1.3 has some several bug fixes and minor code improvements:</p> <p>- bbPortal now uses the bb_admin_add_submenu hook<br /> - Topics that are marked as spam or are "deleted" will no longer show up at the portal page<br /> - Textfields in the admin area will now return a value (if there is one) instead of leaving the fields blank<br /> - Merged bbPortal and the bbMenu plugin. It's no longer needed to have the bbMenu plugin installed</p> <p>This is also the last version I release using the prototype libary. The next version will be jQuery based and smaller in size.</p> <p>You can download bbPortal 1.3 here:<br /> <a href="http://www.bbportal.org/bb-downloads/bbportal1.3.zip" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbportal.org/bb-downloads/bbportal1.3.zip</a></p> <p>I also get a lot of questions on how to add more menutabs to the bbMenu. To be short: you can't. This feature will be supported in the next version of bbMenu.</p> <p>Since I am not a bad guy (and the next release can take a while), I've written a small plugin so you can add menu tabs. It is experimental, so read the read me text before using it!</p> <p>You can download it here:<br /> <a href="http://www.bbportal.org/bb-downloads/addmenutab1.0.zip" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbportal.org/bb-downloads/addmenutab1.0.zip</a></p> <p>_Null </p> http://www.bbportal.org/topic.php?id=34#post-66 Tue, 07 Aug 2007 21:59:00 +0000 Null 66@http://www.bbportal.org/ <p>I am back!</p> <p>and give you: bbMenu 1.2. bbMenu 1.2 has some several bug fixes and minor code improvements:</p> <p>- bbMenu now uses the bb_admin_add_submenu hook<br /> - Fixed a bug that caused bbMenu to crash on some servers (thanks box87)<br /> - Some code cleanup and optimalisations (thanks box87)<br /> - Some template changes. If bbMenu is deactivated, the header now adapts and wont crash</p> <p>Note that bbMenu 1.2 is <strong>not</strong> compatible with bbPortal 1.2 and bbPress pre 0.8</p> <p>This is also the last version I release using the prototype libary.

This weekend I'll have to pick up my final stuff and move to my new home! After that (and IF my internet connection is moved allong with me) I can do some work on the portal plugin again. I am kinda excited to work on it again :)</p> <p>bbPress has also released a new version, using jQuery. That's some good news too. This will allow bbPortal to do more with less. I've got some nice ideas, but the first thing to do is to convert the current drag &#38; drop function to jQuery. If I get this done, there will be a new release.</p> <p>But first things first... like getting my stuff to the new house :)</p> <p>_Null </p> http://www.bbportal.org/topic.php?id=31#post-62 Tue, 29 May 2007 14:17:26 +0000 Null 62@http://www.bbportal.org/ <p>Well I have had some questions about the progress of the bbPortal project.

Just make sure this function does nothing at all. Upload it to your plugin directory and you can use the portal plugin. The portal plugin checks if this functions excist in order to continue, but in this stage it doesn't realy need the bbmenu plugin yet (it is usable without it).
