I managed to convert from phpbb3.0.5 to bbpress 1.0.1, but user’s can’t login, their password isn’t working anymore. I tried the md5 thingy, but it doesn’t seem to help.

[andywilliams244]

I’m not sure how I’d go about that, could somebody post a step by step tutorial? I’ve never dove this far into bbpress before.

Thanks guys, I’d owe you one

Thank you Arturo for the effort. The problem with the “d” was in the .mo file and I changed that yesterday, thanks to other helpful people in this forum.

How did you know how to help me with the for me unknown picture in the header? How should I have thought to find it myself?

I find the structure of bbPress hard to understand. I would like to see a picture of the start page and explanations for where in which file the different elements are defined. Anyone interested in trying to create such a picture?

[DennisH]

….anyone?

I have incorporated Tommie’s metadata changes into the translation file I’ve made (and changed “sullat” to tappat”). Both .po and .mo files are still available at http://dropbox.jobjorn.se/bbpress-sv_SE.zip

There are a few differences between my translation file and Tommie’s – mainly, his file uses “etikett” and “ämne” where I use “tagg” and “tråd” (the corresponding english words are “tag” and “topic”/”thread”). There are a few other differences, too.

I’ve uploaded a diff file for the really curious: http://dropbox.jobjorn.se/tommievsplrk.diff

Thanks. I was considering making this exact plugin myself. Glad to see I don’t need to now

[Ryan Hellyer]

If you are going to resort to iframe’ing it then you may as well use some sort of hosted solution.

[Göran]

Thanks Tommie! My forum looks better and better thanks to you and plrk.

A small suggested change in the registration form: “Position” should be changed to “Plats”.

I use bbPress 1.0.1. To make it possible for users to register with Swedish or other non-acii names I use Cyrillian Nickname http://bbpress.ru/downloads/plugins/

To prevent spam robots I also use Human Test available at https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/ I have translated the few phrases in the plugin. Write me a pm if you want it (I tried to make it available at my site but could not place a php-file there. Should it be zipped?)

Just checked in a complete re-write of the forums component in BuddyPress. No more bbPress integration nightmares. Still work in progress.

(not recommended) Remove the bbpress header.php and replace it with a symlink to the wordpress header.php

(recommended) Deep Integrate WordPress and bbPress and have bbpress call the wordpress header not the bbpress header.

I found some older posts about similar problems to this, but nothign that really helped, plus they were all for the 0.x versions and I am using 1.x which I am guessing may be different.

I have combined bbpress and wordpress databases (WP 2. and all members have been set to inactive status. But I can’t find anything in Mysql to cause this, so can’t globally change them all to member status. They all seem to have the same bb_capabilities value as the couple of members who I have manually made to ‘member’ status, so that doesn’t help.

And I have thousands of members so manually changing them all through the admin interface seems to be a nightmare.

Can someone tell me what database fields to change to make a member to be a ‘member’ status please?

Thanks.

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!

[Tommie Hansen]

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 !

[Tommie Hansen]

@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.

[Göran]

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/

[bikingtoronto]

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.
