There’s a good overview of bbPress’ translation framework (with links to existing translations and to useful posts) on bbshowcase.org:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-translation-internationalization-into-local-languages

According to that, bbPress uses the same translation approach as WordPress:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress#gettext_files

The approach seems to be:

1) You download the POT file, which has all the English strings in it.

2) You translate the strings into your language (Greek) and save the file as a .po file

3) You optimize the .po file into a machine readable .mo file

Looks like you can get the bbPress POT file for whichever version you’re using here:

Good luck!

.. the latest bbpress with the latest wordpress. Could I use the bbPress forum list loop on the frontpage of my wordpress theme? so i can show all the latest discussions.. this wont be on a sidebar, so i dont want a plugin to do this, I just want to use the same code bbPress uses but on WordPress to show the forum topics?

is this possible.? thanks in advanced.

Not sure if this belongs into this thread as it looks like its not a bug, but “feature”. At least in bbpress 0.9.0.4.

I dont think this is the way it should work.

You are adding new topic – and forget to enter something – eg topic title. Then press submit. Error message gets displayed with link to go back to forums. but there are two problems in this:

1. your custom template is suddenly not used (very confusing for users).

2. there is a link “Back to <your forum frontpage>” – this should point back to previous page not homepage! And fields you entered before should be “pre-filled” by your previous input. not cleared.

this default behaviour is pretty annoying for regular users, in my opinion.

I need to translate bbPress user interface to Greek.

I try to find another language file so I can translate it.

I try to find English language file in the language files repository which is in http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/ but I find not such file.. Any ideas?

In fact, I didn’t have a single plugin that was not working but for the WP shared logins of course. I didn’t have the chance to test every little setting of these but the basic functionality works.

Turns out there where two blank lines inserted in the wp-config after the last ?>

I delted them

and It works now…

Hi, I have installed wpmu2.7.1, BuddyPress 1.0 and bbpress “Brubeck” version 0.9.0.4.

I installed wpmu first all good

I installed buddy press all good

I installed bbpress all good

I added a few bbpress plugins for groups , comminuty blogs and another for fbconnect all good

Then i read about intergrating the logins and was linked to the screen cast step by step…even tho is said basic wp install i noticed the tag was MU so i continued.

I got to the bit where you generate the secret keys I did this grabbed the 4 keys pasted into wp-config, i left the salt and other keys in tact. Saved and uploaded the file.

Then the video said check you can login…i checked but i canont login to WPMU I get no error only a white screen, this is for admin and member logins.

Any idea what to do if the login test in the video fails?

There are no errors in the error log, there is no error on screen, only a white blank page.

I now cannot install the plugin mentioned above as i have no access to the dashboard.

How can i get the original auth/secret keys back?

Or how can i fix it, i don’t reallly want to start again as i have spent days on other tweaks and skinning and such that would be painful to lose.

I can still login to bbpress fine.

Thanks in advance for any pointers…

Is there a file you can add to BBpress themes that is the equivalent to WP’s functions.php?

Does the last post from sambauers here help?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/i-cant-activate-plug-ins#post-35986

[pfihn]

Yahoo. That did it. Thanks for the help.

[Sam Bauers]

bbPress de-registers all API hooks at initialisation. That means that WP plugin code is available, but none of it’s API calls are set to go off anymore.

The best solution is to port the original plugin to bbPress and deliberately hook into it’s distinct API hooks. Very few WP plugins will “just work” with bbPress.

Hi John – thanks for the code. I copied it exactly & pasted it into my topic.php (except for the styles) but it still didn’t work for me, so I removed the requirement to log in to vote, with still no luck. Hovering changes the stars color, but clicking does nothing at all.

Do you think it’s likely that there’s a conflict with another plugin that might be causing it to not work? I’m using the following plugins (in addition to bbRatings):

Akismet

Bozo Users

BBCode lite

BBCode buttons toolbar

BBPress signatures

BBPress smilies

Topics Per Page

bbPress tweaks

Human test for bbPress

Moderator new post notification

The only one I think I could do without is the smilies, but I really want to keep the others more than the ratings if I can’t figure out how to get it working……P.S. Two days since I posted on mdawaffe’s blog and still no response…..I just get the impression that he doesn’t want to support this any more……

Thanks jonkristian. I was able to fix it by upgrading to the RC-1 bbPress integration plugin, thanks sambauers!!! U rock!

[mortiferus]

The release of the RC-1 bbPress integartion plug-in fixed it for me! Happy Day!

Hello fellow bbPress admins!

I have wordpress and bbPress installed on a Mac OX Leopard server running PHP Version 5.2.6 (Safe Mode Off) and am having problems activating bbPress themes and plug-ins. Mind you everything else is working fine as well as WordPress which is working perfectly, but in bbPress I get the following errors:

Your attempt to switch themes has failed.

Please try again.

In the case of Plug-in’s I get

Your attempt to do this has failed.

Please try again.

In terms of Troubleshooting I have:

1. Tried the Akismet and Bozo plugins and the two default theme(s) included by themselves and I cannot switch between the two default themes nor activate the default plug-in’s.

2. Tried each plug-in individually. None will activate.

3. Tried adding the underscore (_) to the name to force the loading, they still wont work, but the show up as “Automatically Activated”.

Heck, I even Added the .htacesss rules for name friendly urls, did not help.

My questions are, do I need to set anything up differently for bbPress Plugins and Themes an two is there an error log for bbPress that I can view to try and sort out?

Is this a known issue on unix/linux variants?

Thank You in advance for your help

The JQuery issue sounded like it might be related to the WordPress integration?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/favorites-broken-alpha-6

Sorry if these links aren’t quite dead on – I haven’t seen this behavior before, so grasping at straws a bit!

[tribsel]

maybe. But that thread is about bbpress 1.0 or? and behaviour is little bit different.

[johnhiler]

Is this error possibly related?

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/tag-remove-fail

It sounds like it could be either a bug in bbPress… or an issue with JQuery not loading?

[Ramoonus]

yep the secret keys in the configs match

also got;

define(‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 1);

[tribsel]

its BBpress 0.9.0.4 and yes, it is integrated with wordpress 2.7

[deadlyhifi]

and the secret keys in both config files correspond?

[sranissen]

I just installed WP and buddypress then I installed BP and followed this http://trentadams.com/2009/04/01/buddypress-forums-tutorial/ to match everthing up. I am running all the newest versions of all tree programs and the only prob I have is that other users other then the admin user cant post or reply.

My Buddypress admin can create and reply to forum topics but when i go to the bbpress admin the only user i have is my admin.

I install bbpress in the same DB as WP and Buddypress and still nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

[chrishajer]

What version of bbPress tribsel? And, is it integrated with WordPress?

[Ivaylo Draganov]

I recall having the same problem – resolved it by manualy delete the tag via phpMyAdmin

[Ramoonus]

the user list is shared correctly

i think the problem lies in the cookies

because if i login to the forum i need to relogin to the site

and vice versa
