I have used this tutorial to create a mo file for a plugin:

http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2007/08/27/localizing-a-wordpress-plugin-using-poedit/

But I cann’t activate it

I have found a old topic on this issue:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-can-i-define-a-mo-file-for-a-plugin

But I cann’t see how to “name the mo files into our main mo file”

So can anyone tell me how to do this

(I’m using vers. 9.0.1)

Here’s the current capabilities of the admin account

a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}

Can i just change this so it has both wordpress and bbpress admin powers?

[clockworkjoe]

The wordpress database has a different prefix than BB, so there’s no bb_capabilities.

[clockworkjoe]

I messed up when I installed BBpress on my wordpress site initially so that wordpress database integration didn’t work. I’ve fixed it though with one mistake. My wordpress admin account does not have admin powers for BBpress and the current BBpress admin account won’t work since BBpress now only looks at the wordpress database. I can access the mysql database directly through cpanel and phpmyadmin. How do I edit my account entry so it has bbpress admin powers?

I am attempting to move my bbPress site over to a server running lighttpd – I’m running into problems converting over the rewrite rules.

I have modified the lighttpd config files successfully to get WordPress, Magento, and some other apps working under lighttpd, but have not been able to find any examples for bbPress. Has anyone done this successfully?

Is your bbPress site integrated with your WordPress site (for example, does it share the same users table)?

What plugins do you have installed on your bbPress site.

[deadlyhifi]

the way to do add bbpress functions into wordpress is to add:

if ( !defined(‘BBDB_NAME’) )

require_once(ABSPATH.’bbpress/bb-load.php’);

into the wp-config.php file, just before the closing ?>

[deadlyhifi]

I want to show the login form/status from bbpress in my wordpress site.

but if I get put in “login_form();” I get: Fatal error: Call to undefined function.

How do I add the bbpress functions into wordpress?

Our bbpress forum does roughly 20-25k pageviews per weekday. We also have a WordPress blog (with caching) that does around 75k pageviews per weekday. The boards and blog are integrated, and share the same database.

The database is the only thing that runs on a (mt) dedicated server with 1GB of RAM (the Extreme package), and its my.cnf is a slightly tweaked version of a my-huge.cnf.

The database was really running ragged a week ago, with a load average between 2.5 and 4.0. The first change I made was described in the first post (indexing topic_slug in bb_topics, tag in bb_tags and forum_slug in bb_forums). That really helped a lot, because on a popular forum, there are apparently enough new topics that the query cache gets invalidated frequently. By making this query a lot more efficient with an index, the load average fell to between 0.4 and 0.7.

Then, after adding the 4-column index, the load average plunged to between 0.03 and 0.20. It’s pretty amazing.

Indices are AWESOME!

Nick, are you talking about something like this?

* https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-add-sidebar

This doesn’t do any magic integration with WordPress, it just lets you put a sidebar.php file in your theme directory that can be invoked from multiple pages. I actually ended not using this approach (despite writing the plugin). Instead, I just added some PHP/xhtml at the end of header.php.

[pulk99]

hi,

I have a strange problem, at http://www.criticalmass.at/ you have a point in the sidebar wich is called “Neues aus dem Forum”. this is an standard wordpress rss widget with the rss feed of the bbpress forum: http://www.criticalmass.at/forum/rss/

the feed itself is working fine, also the other rss widgets, but for the forum feed in the widget, it doesn’t show the newest topics/posts.

wordpress 2.5 & bbpress 0.9.0.1

I agree with not doing the actions in the templates – that was a mistake WordPress did for awhile eh? The hooks can go inside function edit_form in the core, no?

Just for clarification, because this one is important, do_action('post_edit_form') should go AFTER the </form> is closed.

do_action('pre_edit_form') should be before the <form

and do_action('edit_form') should be inside the form.

If all the post_form’s are actions, so should be the edit_forms. I don’t think any are filters, wouldn’t make sense…?

This will help other plugins like my Signatures too.

Less template edits needed, makes it easier for users.

Of course I still have to support some 0.8.3 people so it’s going to be awhile before this solves all problems but at least newer installs can benefit.

You are looking for integration then, to include WordPress bits in your bbPress.

If you search this forum for integration or view topics tagged integration, you will find lots of integration advice. Here’s a good thread (started a while ago so some of the advice may not apply).

[fokjulle]

Here is config.php:

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘*********’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘********’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘*********’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘**********’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change these last few

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old bb-config.php does

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”);

define(‘BB_LANG’, ”); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

// Change BB_SECRET_KEY to a unique phrase. You won’t have to remember it later,

// so make it long and complicated. You can visit https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm

// to get a phrase generated for you, or just make something up.

// If you are integrating logins with WordPress, you will need to match the value

// of the “SECRET_KEY” in the WordPress file wp-config.php

define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, ”); // Change this to a unique phrase.

// If you are running multiple bbPress installations in a single database,

// you will probably want to change this.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BB_LANG’, ”);

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BB_PATH’) )

define(‘BB_PATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BB_PATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

Yes, I use PHPMyAdmin…

[chrishajer]

Maybe the database you used for WordPress has a different collation, but WordPress didn’t care about the difference where bbPress does care and gives you an error?

Do you have access to the database with something like phpMyAdmin?

New WordPress MU 1.5 release candidate is now out:

http://ocaoimh.ie/2008/04/19/wordpress-mu-15-rc1/

[nick212004]

it is one of the sidebars that is on my wordpress which is my homepage

[chrishajer]

To make bbPress look like your WordPress theme, you are going to have to do some XHTML and CSS work with a new template for your bbPress forum. It doesn’t sound like you will need user integration, so you can skip that part of the installation/integration, but will will need to either include WordPress in bbPress to get access to your WordPress header and foot or manually add those items to your bbPress template.

If you search this forum for integration or view topics tagged integration, you will find lots of integration advice. Here’s a good thread (started a while ago so some of the advice may not apply):

There are also a couple WordPress forum plugins:

http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/simple-forum/

http://www.xdweb.net/wordpress/xdforum2/

(might not work anymore with WordPress 2.5)

Never tried either of those but they might be options instead of creating your own theme to make bbPress look like your WordPress installation.

Hello everyone. I am attempting to incorporate bbpress into my current wordpress site at http://www.atriskstoriesofhope.com/wordpress. I don’t want bbpress and wordpress to share any user data as the wordpress site will only be available to members who pay for the service. In short, the bbpress forum will be a kind of online mentoring tool. What I want to is to basically embed bbpress into my wordpress so that when someone navigates threw the site, it will appear as a smooth transitition.

Thanks

[seeportugal]

I tried unsuccessfully installing both wordpress mu and bb press this week. Both times I had my whole website down, and insted some strange website that called something like “undirected designs” came up. Some strange African American in white overalls, a hous painter or something. WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT? Should I be worried. For now I am giving up the install.

Can someone tell me what this was?

We hacked in email notification.

Really like the clean look.

Join up if you hack wordpress…and work with video.

we’ve built some cool plugins and are designing themes that are videocentric at showinbox.tv. We’re glad to link/blog about other solutions that work for videobloggers.

I am also developing my wordpress site locally….is it possible to do the same with BBPress.

[dthomas31uk]

Hi. Have just downloaded bbpress from this site. Uploaded it to my server……now what? It is not showing up in my wordpress admin plug in section. I presume I have to configure something somewhere….can anyone advise please. Do I need to create a new databse for bbpress or do i still use my existing wordpress database.

> the desire to reduce the amount of support traffic

That’s the best reason right there. Convert to a front controller, mod_rewrite and create the rewrite rules automagically, like WordPress, and 1/3 of the posts on this forum would never have happened.
