Hi Daniel,

Being relatively new to bbPress I am not sure how to do just that. Have you tried finding the relevant .pot or .po files for the plugins that you have installed? I think you need to have a separate translation file (.mo) for each plugin – similar to WordPress.

Alternatively, there is the hard way. Translate directly in the source code!

[Cal]

Thanks schmitt, got it working without too much trouble.

[Andrew]

Did you ever get this working? I plan to try soon.

Amember has a WordPress plugin but I’d like to know if it cascades successfully through a WordPress/BBPress integration.

MD5 is unique to the website URL… not the user.

You appear to be using identical style.css files for the wordpress and bbpress sections of your site. You can fix this by copying some CSS rules from one of my theme downloads.

I have just updated the blank bbPress themes at bbpressraw.com with new versions that have a forum-like tabular style.

You can see them in action via the theme switcher at the bottom of the bbpressraw.com forums page.

To solve your problem, I suggest you download one of the themes and copy all of the rules below:

/* Global Styles

=================================== */

hr {

display: none;

}

into the bottom of your bbPress theme stylesheet. This will allow you to pick up all the bbPress CSS rules that are applied by these themes. Tweak these CSS rules in order to change the appearance of the forums.

Enjoy!

Nice to see it solved …

Thanks, now that makes sense. One day learning bbpress and wordpress and it’s all working wonderfully – Great packages!

Did you actually use the line path/to/wp-blog-header.php or did you change it to the ACTUAL path to wp-blog-header.php? Something like /home/thewayev/public_html/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php.

The “path/to/” part is illustrative and should be changed to your actual path for your installation.

[Jim S.]

I just wanted to mention that I’ve finished up my bb-Bluesands theme as a complement to my Bluesands theme for WordPress. Feel free to download and test it out – and let me know if you run across any bugs.

[andajus]

When I add the line

require_once(‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’);

to my bbpress “config.php” file in order to give access to WordPress’ functions: my forum doesn’t load and I get the following message instead:

Warning: require_once(path/to/wp-blog-header.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/thewayev/public_html/forums/config.php on line 12

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘path/to/wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/thewayev/public_html/forums/config.php on line 12

It doesn’t seem to matter what line I put the code on, and as far as I know I’ve carried out every other integration procedure listed with no problems. Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

[jthomps]

I deativated all plugins in WP and reactivated them one by one. Event Calendar 3 is causing the error.

“WordPress database error: [Table ‘jamtho_southerillinoiswatcher.wp_post2cat’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts LEFT JOIN wp_post2cat ec3_post2cat ON ec3_post2cat.post_id=id LEFT JOIN wp_ec3_schedule ec3_sch ON ec3_sch.post_id=id AND ec3_sch.end>=’2007-10-08 00:00:00′ WHERE 1=1 AND (((post_title LIKE ‘%hello%’) OR (post_content LIKE ‘%hello%’))) AND post_type = ‘post’ AND (post_status = ‘publish’ OR post_status = ‘private’) AND (ec3_sch.post_id IS NOT NULL OR ec3_post2cat.category_id!) ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10″

I am working to resolve.

Thanks

I have changed the encoding in my database, from latin 1 to utf8, and everything is ok except for the display of the usernames set in wordpress “display name” and brougt in to bbpress with the “use dispaly name”-plugin. When I use special characters like swedish å, ä or ö, or e.g. é, they show up like �.

I notice that in the bbpress database, special characters that I use in posts are stored with what I think is utf8 in the DB (e.i. they look strange), but/and they all look ok when displayed in the forum. Names in the wp_users “display_name” however are stored with the latin character but show up wrong.

The conversion was made following this manual: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/06/23/how-to-convert-character-set-and-collation-of-wordpress-database/

Any thoughts on this, anyone?

[walkingisoverrated]

hey guys,

i have little coding experience, i could do a fair pimp of my myspace page but that’s about it – this php stuff is all new to me. I’ve just installed bbpress as a subdirectory of my wordpress blog, and I want to do something really simple: I want to change the color of the rollovers when you mouse over the forum topic. On this guide I read, it said to change this line:

#latest tr:hover, #forumlist tr:hover, #favorites tr:hover { background: #330099; }

(specifically, the ‘background’ tag), but as you can see, although I’ve entered in a bright color and re-uploaded the style.css file, it remains a vague greyish sorta color.. where am I going wrong here?

Thanks in advance folks..

[chrishajer]

Does this cover what you’re trying to do?

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

There are some pretty good links at the end of the article too if the article does not specifically address your concern.

[fel64]

Not much documentation for bb, but it works exactly the same way as writing plugins for wp. So grab an existing bb plugin or look at the wp documentation: https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin

It’s often trivial to convert a plugin; you just need to use a slightly different API and change the hooks and filters that you use.

[fel64]

Please copy huuuuuge swathes of code to http://pastebin.ca and link to them instead of filling the forum.

wp_home and wp_siteurl are different in the same way that “WordPress address” and “blog address” in your Options in WP-Admin are different. Check if you need to change that.

[kblog]

I just installed bbPress into the same database as my wordpress blog. Now I get an error when trying to use it.

test blog: http://www.kidoinfo.com/stage/

forum: http://www.kidoinfo.com/stage/bulletinboard/

Maybe it’s because I don’t understand the difference in one of the setup parameters:

“If you’ve installed bbPress into a subdirectory of your WordPress installation, define $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl as your WordPress blog address and WordPress address”

-I think they have the same address: http://www.kidoinfo.com/stage/

(not this is a test version of the site that is password protected) NOTE: if it’s not possible to troubleshoot this error because the test site is behind a password, let me know and I’ll go ahead and put it in the public site, but I’d rather not until it’s all set up.

Here’s the error I’m getting:

You can check the settings in wp-config.php and see if they’re the same.

Would just like to share my new site with you. GlamRock.com is a community for people into Glam.

The blog is WordPress and the forum is an integrated bbPress installation.

I did the design and all the html stuff myself but for the the php stuff, I contracted IndianElite.com out of Calcutta to install, mod & skin both the blog & forum.

Generally speaking, I’m quite happy with bbPress. While it was too basic straight up, the plug ins do make it more sophisticated yet easy to administer. Actually, administration is so simple and is easier to drive than notepad.

So far, it’s working out OK. Would certainly welcome your feedback as I’m thinking about V2.

Why have the authors of BBPress been so daft as to not add a “my-plugins” directory to the default installation of BBPress?

It was my first question, just like everybody else on the forum, “where’s the plugin folder”.

Hey, it might seem obvious to those of you who know the BBPress, but for heaven’s sake make it easy for the newbies. You did it for WordPress, so why not BBPress?

Get with it and think of the users you programmers!

[fel64]

Yup.

require_once('path/to/bb-load.php');

in your wp config file.

[jthomps]

Why am I getting “WordPress database error: [Table ‘jamtho_southerillinoiswatcher.wp_post2cat’ doesn’t exist” when I do a search from my WordPress sidebar? Do I really need to create another wp db table “wp_post2cat” ?

[chrishajer]

I know of this list of translations, but it does not appear complete to me:

http://www.bbpulp.org/wiki/Translation_files

There is also a Dutch forum at WordPress.org for bbpress:

https://nl.forums.wordpress.org/tags.php?tag=bbpress

I think there have been a couple mentions of a dutch translation in this forum, but I can’t find a link to one right now. Maybe you can search this forum for dutch and contact the posters to see if they’ve ever solved their problem with the translation.

I just upgraded to the latest wordpress 2.3 and bbpress 0.8.3 and now when I try and access any page I get the following error at the top of the page:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in bb-settings.php on line 173

I checked the bb-settings.php file and the line looks like:

foreach ( glob(BBPLUGINDIR . ‘_*.php’) as $_plugin )

I checked BBPLUGINDIR to see if it’s been set correctly, and it does indeed point to the location of my-plugins.

I’m running PHP5 with a mamp server on os x.. I’ve never had a problem with bbpress before (being using it for a few months now), and only saw this error with the upgrade.

has anyone else seen this, or know how to remove it?

cheers,

Jason

[Sam Bauers]

bbPress themes are similar, but not drag-and-drop compatible with WordPress themes. What you are suggesting won’t work.

You will need to create a new bbPress theme to match your existing theme.

Hi!

It continues from there…

The problem is, I have never installed BBPress. I went to MySQL after I got the error the first time, made a database for BB called “bbpress” but still get the error (even though the database is new, fresh and entirely empty). What’s up?
