Total newbie here, but I’m a blogger using WordPress 2.8.x who is thinking of adding a discussion forum to my site.

I am NOT a coder whatsoever, so please keep that in mind when answering, although I do have a friend who is one but I would need to be conscientous about using his time.

My question is whether bbPress 1.0 will easily integrate with WP 2.8.x as I have it currently configured. Obviously I’d want it to look similar to my site and have all the standard forum bells/whistles.

If not, does anyone have any other suggestions? I just began researching forums today. I’ve come across IPB and phpBB as other options, but again, I have no idea how easy it would be to integrate those.

Any help you can give would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks.

I’m running bbpress 1.0.1 and recently tried to install the Avatars Plugin. I followed the directions step-by-step, but whenever I click on the Avatars tab on the profile page I just get taken right back to the main forum page. I never even get the change to try and upload.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?

Thanks!

It was simply wrong in the id for the translations. I noticed it when i compared it to the bulgarian translation with a little help of EditPlus. I also changed some misspellings and added some of my own flavour to it all.

Changes:

– Time format numbering fixed

– Wrongly entered php-variables fixed

– Tråd / Trådar / Tråden > Ämne / Detta ämne (or ‘ämnet’) / Ämnen

– Posta / Postad etc. > Skriv, Skrivet etc.

– Fräschhet > Färskhet

– Titel > Rubrik

– Tagg / Taggar > Etikett / Etiketter

…and some other stuff.

.

NOTE to others. You must change lines for the time specific translations. I’ve tried several of other translations that doesn’t do it correct either.

Example; Year = bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php:385

You can use the linked langage .po-file or check the Bulgarian one out for further reference. It easiest to check the .po-file for line references with a text editor like EditPlus, TextMate or Notepad.

Hi !

First, I’m verry sorry for my english, but I’m a french user of bbpress

So.

I have a wordpress website, and I delete the username restrictions ( no : @ ect on the username ).

But, when a user who has a username with special characters ( like : ) tries to login on bbpress, bbpress says that the user doesn’t exist.

How to delete this restriction and resolve this problem ?

Thanks !

@Göran: It’s “great” that you have the same problem. Then it probably isn’t some server config hidden away somewhere and the problem will probably be solved pretty soon.

Edit: Hm.. when i try to edit the languagefile with Poedit and choose to save it i get 3 fatal errors;

23:04:20: F:Skrivbordetsv_SE.po:191: message catalog has plural form translations...

23:04:20: F:Skrivbordetsv_SE.po:2: ...but header entry lacks a "plural=EXPRESSION" attribute

23:04:20: F:Skrivbordetsv_SE.po:191: message catalog has plural form translations...

23:04:20: F:Skrivbordetsv_SE.po:2: ...but header entry lacks a "nplurals=INTEGER" attribute

23:04:20: F:Skrivbordetsv_SE.po:617: 'msgstr' is not a valid PHP format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason: In the directive number 1, the character 'a' is not a valid conversion specifier.

23:04:20: msgfmt: found 3 fatal errors

Maybe it’s related?

Update 2:

Tried a Bulgarian translation and it did translate time. It must be something with 1.0+ that isn’t in 0.9 language wise.

Dear plrk I downloaded your latest .mo-file and it solved my problem with ugly letters for Swedish characters. Thank you!

It is still “sullat” but I now know how to change that. And did so. However I also have English words for months. I do not know how to change that.

My almost good enough forum is at http://www.32astolf.se/forum/

Thanks Ipstenu.

Still a very extreme newbie to all this “press” stuff… but I’m loving bbpress so far. A little bit of customization with a few plug-ins and a theme has gone relatively smoothly… but I still can’t really get the Admin Can Post Anything plug-in to work properly… it does not seem to like i-frames… which are essential for embedding google maps and docs.

[andywilliams244]

Anybody?

[Tommie Hansen]

Yeah, probably. I’m trying to figure out now how to translate the topic_time(); -function. The _e(‘Some Text’) is quite understandable, don’t get how to translate a function yet though. I’ve never messed around with translations at all (obviously).

[pi865]

thanks very much but this doesn’t work for me. it ruins the installation and i have to manually revert via phpmyadmin.

this asks for where the bbpress installation is (forum.mysite.com/forum) …

i want forum.mysite.com/forum to be fetched from forum.mysite.com

does that make it clearer?

thanks,

paris

[plrk]

My theme is based on the default theme, and it works like a charm… It could be that you have based your theme on an older version of Kakumei that did not use the translation functions everywhere.

[Rohan Kapoor]

There is an administration panel, in there there is settings. Go to General Setting and set the bbPress address (URL) to the domain you want it to appear on.

[Rohan Kapoor]

He also said:

I have already installed the plugin bbPress Integration for WordPress.

which implies that he already added the code,

[Rohan Kapoor]

They won’t be giving away the theme. It was custom made for this site.

[Rohan Kapoor]

I wouldn’t use this. I’m deep integrating myself but for beginners, it will work.

[Tommie Hansen]

@plrk: Got your E-mail. I actually do have this thread as a favorite, thanks anyway for the update though! (I wished this forum had the E-mail notification option…)

It works! Thanks!

However my time-relevant php aren’t translated still. The strange thing is that those functions aren’t touched at all. I’ll have to dig again to see if there are any errors related to the __ -stuff. One would think the default theme wouldn’t have any problem with the translations(?)

[plrk]

RSS problem fixed: it did not approve of the HTML entities. Considering Göran’s problem above, I thought it best to simply replace all HTML entities of åäöÅÄÖ with their “real” characters. It works for me, and you people can download it at http://dropbox.jobjorn.se/bbpress-sv_SE.zip

[Raize]

Unfortunately that plugin doesn’t work with WordPress 2.8…few things are broken

[Raize]

It’s not an ideal solution, but good enough for beginners who just want to embed a forum into their blog. Thanks for posting

[Raize]

I was wondering the same thing…the default theme that comes with bbpress is not nearly as nice as this one

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

And he said:

I have already installed the plugin bbPress Integration for WordPress. I can’t find anything wrong during my installation. I think maybe I need to upgrade my WPMU to 2.8.

Which implies that he’s on 2.7.x

[Rohan Kapoor]

This plugin was created to allow bbPress to be administered from the WordPress and WordPress MU Administration Panels. It is a very basic plugin and uses iframes to provide access to bbPress. It is known to compatible with WordPress and WordPress 2.8.1 and bbPress 1.0.1. As it just uses iframes to connect to bbPress, ideally, it will still be compatible with all upcoming versions of bbPress and WordPress.

This plugin is created by me.

[andywilliams244]

I’ve tried copying the coding from wordpress header into the header in bbpress.

I’m using the unstable beta bbpress and WordPress 2.7.1

[pi865]

Hi. Perhaps I’m having a mental block, but I’m unable to figure this out…

I have bbpress installed at forum.mysite.com/forum

I want the forum to be displayed when when people navigate simply to forum.mysite.com

wordpress has a way of retrieving the forum outside the root, and then setting the URL.

what do i have to put in my /index.php file to make this happen for bbpress?

Thanks,

Paris

[chrishajer]

What have you tried already?

What version of WordPress and bbPress are you using?
