Helleo , Why bbpress dont Suport arabic names in registration ?

[John James Jacoby]

Flies only live for 15 days; females for 26 if they’re lucky. We probably want people to stick around for a little longer…

Opinion: What *Press needs is some visual and code consistency to re-align everything back to the basics of what made WordPress awesome in the first place.

Opinion: Right now all the automattic apps look and feel like totally different programs, but lets be honest… On the surface, bbPress is basically WordPress without topics being able to have multiple categories; On the surface, BuddyPress is basically the user-profile area that phpBB has had for 6 years but arranged to tap into the MU way of thinking. Under the surface the code and the methods are totally different, but the end result is pretty close to existing webware.

Opinion: The only thing left for automattic to do is a shopping cart, which we can take a bunch of osCommerce experience from and apply to WordPress methods pretty easily if automattic ever wants to venture into the e-commerce market.

Opinion: From a developers perspective, trying to keep up with and remember all of the WordPress, WordPressMU, BuddyPress, and bbPress classes and functions and ‘isms is getting really, really hard…

Defense: PLEASE don’t get me wrong… It’s also exhilarating, exciting, totally 150% fun, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world, but holy crap lets sit back and look and say that there a whole meta ton of a lot going on lately…

Matt, do you have an ulcer by now? Because I think I might... Ha!

Defense: And hopefully I haven’t made myself out to be a total ass here; I hope that TalkPress helps to accelerate the .org thought process behind integrating both the user portion and the template portion of these awesome apps together in a more transparent way… Including my TalkPress.com forum into my WordPress.com blog would be pretty killer.

Round Up: With BuddyPress 1.0 on the horizon, bringing the social networking abilities that people usually make plugins for WordPress and bbPress to emulate, *Press automatic applications really do stand to evolutionize the way that people use the internet in a major way…

Summary: I for one am totally pumped to see what TalkPress looks like and works like… When a new version of *press comes out, it’s like Christmas morning to me and I download it and poke my head around the new code and find all the cool new little additions…

Please don’t hit me for my long winded and slightly off topic response. Probably wouldn’t expect anything less from me now would you?

It worked! Thank you guys for your help! I realized I forgot to delete the bb_ files via phpMyAdmin, (from the first time I tried the conversion without the edited file from matiaspunx. I had removed the files via FTP only.

Thanks again!

[matiaspunx]

oh! what version for bbpress are you trying to convert?

this file just works with a new fresh install of “0.9.x”

the converter finished without problems?

[Atsutane]

Maybe u can try this plugin https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/force-login/

[gavinj77]

I checked via phpMyAdmin and all my bbPress files start with bb_ . I didn’t change any files from the install. The phpbb3 files all begin with phpbb_

[Atsutane]

Well since bbpress and wordpress are using ezsql… you can find ezsql tutorial here.

http://justinvincent.com/docs/ezsql/ez_sql_help.htm

[edlvg]

thanks _ck_ worked beautiful, sounds quite helpful having a tutorial though, :p

[chrishajer]

Are you using bb_ as your bbPress table prefix? Maybe the bb_ table prefix is hard coded and it does not match up with your installation.

[gavinj77]

Thank you for the file. I used the file, (did not edit it at all because I have no idea what I’m doing). I get this error when I try to access the forum

bbPress database error: [Table ‘db279681361.bb_topicmeta’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT meta_value FROM bb_topicmeta WHERE topic_id = 0 AND meta_key = ‘uri’

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/34/d279666578/htdocs/forums/bb-includes/db-mysql.php:130) in /homepages/34/d279666578/htdocs/forums/bb-includes/functions.php on line 2271

Is this a simple error to fix? If not, I’m going to have resolve myself to using phpbb3, (which I don’t want to do of course). Thank you again. I appreciate it.

[swaymedia]

can you please just do a step by step tutorial, it is really hard to follow and i dont know which piece of code goes where.

[_ck_]

Yes, a keymaster can make other members keymasters, just edit their profile and change level.

Just remember you are giving 100% access to those people.

[demonicrock]

oh, is there any way to make a few of the administrators “keymasters” as well so that they will have same access as user#1 admin ID?

[demonicrock]

Ok! Thanks CK!……

[_ck_]

Yikes. Well I guess that is one way. Books are great but nothing beats hands-on.

Funny thing is I’ve never read a book about PHP or MySQL

I learned through reading other people’s code and trial and error and reading php.net and mysql.com

Not knowing how to make a link from one page to another though is a more fundamental problem, it means you don’t know HTML either?

A link to your front page looks like this:

<a href="http://herbalremedyforum.com/">main site</a>

However in your case, your theme already has a section for a nice menu at the top.

It looks like the theme author was clever enough to put in a way to modify it.

Save this as a file called _my-custom-menu.php

http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=f4d77734c

and upload it into the bbpress my-plugins directory. If you don’t have such a directory, make one (just like the bb-plugins that’s already there)

Alternately you could edit functions.php in your genealogias theme folder around line 102

function gs_navigation_menu() {

$links = array();

$links[] = sprintf('<a href="%s">%s</a>', bb_get_option('uri'), __('Front Page', 'genealogies'));

$links[] = sprintf('<a href="%s">%s</a>', bb_get_tag_page_link(), __('Tags'));

$links[]='<a href="http://herbalremedyforum.com/">main site</a>';

printf('<ul class="primary xoxo"><li>%s</li></ul>', implode('</li><li>', apply_filters('gs_navigation_menu', $links)));

}

Very nice use of the color tones.

I also like how you used Topic Icons.

You are logging in as a regular admin and not the keymaster.

Only keymasters can see the advanced plugins and settings.

Did you demote yourself from keymaster to regular administrator?

Or are you logging in as another user you created as an administrator?

If you are user # 1 and still don’t know what is wrong

you can try using this plugin to fix your access level

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/

[_ck_]

You have to be a KEYMASTER to see the advanced settings/plugins menu in bbPress

A regular administrator in bbPress only has slightly more rights than a moderator.

If you are already the keymaster (and user #1) and still can’t see the plugins section, perhaps try this plugin to fix it:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/

(it’s an auto-load plugin so it doesn’t need activation)

[_ck_]

edlvg you want something like

echo "Posted by $result->topic_poster_name";

I just realized I completely missed explaining how to get forum names via WordPress, I was telling people to use bbPress functions which is of course impossible from WordPress. Let me know if anyone still needs the help.

[Filipe Deschamps]

Perfect video, couldn’t do the integration with out it.

Just 1 minor problem:

– I’m using wordpress 2.6.5 (I think) with bbPress 1.0-Alpha-6. I could fully integrate the logins, but not the Admin panel.

There’s that plugin (showed over the last minutes off the video) to make possible login at WordPress and get access to the Admin panel. Unfortunately, it sais that you need to use at least WP 2.7 for it to work.

Well, I actually tried to install and activate it in my WP 2.6, it worked and generated me the “define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);” code.

But in the end, it doesnt work like expected. Probably because of the 2.7 minimum requirement.

Is there any solution to make this work out? I just need this last step working to keep it 100% integrated.

Best regards.

Hello, so how’s the code if we’d like to add posteb by… in …

I get the topic and forums list but’d like to show the author.

Tried the codes at the beginning but doesnt seem to work, fatal errors :S

thanks in advance

ernesto

[demonicrock]

hmmm.. that might be the problem then.. I am using an administrator ID, but someone else orig set it up and has the original admin (keymaster) ID.. Thought all permissions were the same… Is there a way to make additional ID’s with same permissions as the orig admin (keymaster) ID?

I have the latest versions of both WP and BBpress..

thx for the reply

[chrishajer]

If you don’t have access to the bbPress admin, or you can’t see the plugins link once you’re in the admin, it’s possible you’re not the keymaster.

@demonicrock – what version of bbPress and WordPress did you install?

[andrecassal]

Adding to my last post.

I just can see me logged in and also the profile pages.

[Pump]

I have the same problem…
