Hello bbPress Community Members,

This is the Arabic translation for bbPress, I’ve done it 5 months ago with 0.9.0.2

I was a little bit lazy about posting it here, dunno why

Till i checked out this post mintues ago , #thanks _ck_

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/check-out-this-very-nice-r-t-l-arabic-bbpress

All that i do know that alot of people love it in Arabic and already using the Arabic version of bbPress.

Also, I’ve made a complete RTL version with heavy modifications on template files and a completely new Admin Page Design (CSS Edit).

This is the last version of Arabic Translation for 0.9.0.3 with slight modifications.

Hope that the moderator add this translation officially with other bbPress translations.

I currently have wordpress installed in my root directory, but would like to have bbPress installed into a /forum directory and linked from my main homepage.

I already have the link to a “forums page” set up at http://www.beardownarizona.com, however I’m not sure how to implement bbPress so when the link is clicked the user is taken to the forums. I don’t think I can install bbPress on a WordPress page…so I’m trying to figure out the easiest way to have the forums installed an a directory, and then linked from my WordPress menu.

Also, do bbPress users on my site still use the WordPress “register” link?

Thanks in advance for your help!

[chrishajer]

I’ve never seen a hosting company visit a forum topic before, much less post there. It would be really cool if more companies did that. I won’t bad rap GoDaddy so much in the future if they’re really willing to resolve this on their end, if it’s their trouble.

I have set up my blog. I now want to set up a BBPRESS forum. Do I select a NEW database while going through the simplescripts set up or do I de-select that?

Um, no you missed my point. I didn’t enter an htmlentity,

I simply entered the ampersand symbol. bbPress converts it to an htmlentity

and then your plugin converts it to a trac code.

only way now to get a real & is to enter & or put it in backticks &

& & & &# & & &38;

@johnnydoe

bbPress has a stable version which is currently 0.9.0.3

bbPress has an unstable “alpha” version which is currently 1.0-alpha-3

In a sense the “alpha” version is like beta software in that it is for testing and shouldn’t really be run on a live server.

[johnnydoe]

may I ask what the beta part of bbpress actuall is? is the “beta” thingy core related or more 3rd party related?

[_ck_]

There’s is still a problem with htmlentities, you either call your filter too soon or too late after bbPress does it’s autop, etc.

demo of bug:

WordPress & bbPress

(the and symbol is converted into an htmlentitiy, then your plugin sees the # and makes it a link) Broken all over bbpress.org

You could make sure the pattern doesn’t end with a semicolon or maybe set priority 9.

[Austin Matzko]

Thanks! I abandoned trunk bbPress months ago because I couldn’t do the “deep” integration without too many core hacks. It will be good to come back.

[edwinfoo]

Hi Trent, it’s been a long time. Good to see you around this neck of the woods.

Thanks for sharing the plugin.

Is Buddypress any good?

[_ck_]

Maybe they gave the topic link to GoDaddy?

I wouldn’t mind having company techs getting the proper info from here to solve the problem.

There’s a huge amount of competition out there and a good customer service attitude might prevent a bad reputation. Now if they can actually solve the issue, I’ll be impressed.

However Vannak needs to do their part too

and fix the bb-config.php option I mentioned.

[Sam Bauers]

See the details here:

bbPress 1.0-alpha-3 released

Those who are more interested in “deep” integration should see this post:

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/first-pass-at-a-fix-for-deep-integration-in-trunk

[Sam Bauers]

A first attempt at getting WordPress 2.7 and bbPress 1.0 to play nice again is now in trunk [1862].

I’m specifically talking about “deep” integration, i.e. when you include WordPress inside bbPress to gain access to WordPress’ functions.

This will need a lot of testing, so please post any issues you have on the relevant Trac ticket, #972 (which will stay open until some more testing has occurred).

I recommend using the following code at the top of your bbPress bb-config.php file to include WordPress inside bbPress:

if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {

include_once( '/Full/Path/To/wp-load.php' );

}

Note that this includes “wp-load.php” not “wp-config.php” or “wp-blog-header.php”. This avoids running WordPress’ template loader which presumably isn’t needed inside bbPress. Some implementations may want it though, so if you find you need it then give it a go and let us know how that goes.

Also note that all filters and actions set in WordPress whether default or added by plugins or themes are cleared out completely. That means that plugins and themes installed in WordPress cannot add filters or actions to bbPress at all. This may have some implications I’m not aware of yet.

Go nuts!

[TechGnome]

Finally figured it out… I was going about it all the wrong way… What I was trying to do was take the forums in location A and integrate them with a website at location B… after tanking my local copy of my website, I finally had a realization that I was going about all the wrong way. Instead of trying to take what was essentially two websites and linking them, I should have just scrapped both sites, re-installed bbPress on the main site, and then created the radio station as plugins around bbPress. So that’s what I am now doing. And it’s going much more smoothly than it was before. Sometimes the easiest answers are the hardest to see.

Now that WordPress 2.7 has revamped the admin panel, is bbPress going to follow suit with a matching one? I came along after it had been made to match 2.6, so I never got to see what it used to look like.

[chrishajer]

Re-reading your initial post, I recall this was mentioned in the forums here (at least) once before.

Hiya Trent

[chrishajer]

Seriously?

[chrishajer]

Good feedback on that system.

Better than modifying a core file (which won’t survive an upgrade) is to use a plugin that allows you to use an SMTP server:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/smtp-mailer-for-bbpress/

There are also threads in the forum about using Swift Mailer, IIRC.

[iservers]

I just installed bbPress on a Windows XP system without incident.

Went in very easily.

However, the PHP ‘mail()’ function on Windows uses an MTA.

That is, it communicates directly with an SMTP server rather than using any intervening software.

This means that the ‘From:’ header format must be very simple:

‘From: user@domain’

instead of:

‘From: “Name of bbPress system” <user@domain>’

Otherwise, the SMTP server returns an error and does not send a message.

An easy change can be made to bb-includes/pluggable.php::bb_Mail().

Change:

$headers[] = ‘From: “‘ . bb_get_option(‘name’) . ‘” <‘ . $from . ‘>’;

to:

$headers[] = ‘From: ‘. $from;

The change will work with all systems or it can be placed under a

Windows-specific switch.

Hi Vannack,

It looks like you’ve been given a lot of good information. We can certainly look in to this on our end as well. I will investigate and have one of our specialists get in touch with you.

I wanted a little plugin to allow Force Login on bbPress forum when you have integration with buddypress. I altered mdawaffe’s plugin and thought I would share it with the community if you want privacy on forum and still work with buddypress.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Force Login

function force_login_init() {

if ( !bb_is_user_logged_in()

&& 0 !== strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], bb_get_option( 'path' ) . 'bb-login.php')

&& 0 !== strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], bb_get_option( 'path' ) . 'bb-reset-password.php')

&& 0 !== strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], bb_get_option( 'path' ) . 'register.php')

) {



nocache_headers();

header("HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily");

bb_safe_redirect( bb_get_uri( 'bb-login.php', null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_HEADER + BB_URI_CONTEXT_BB_USER_FORMS ) );

header("Status: 302 Moved Temporarily");

exit();



}

}



add_action( 'bb_init', 'force_login_init' );

[razorcreed]

would this work with 2.7? and is there any install documentation of doing it this way?

[vuuch]

So this is a bummer… I have the database name, user name (same as database name) and my password for the database. NO LUCK with the install.

My database is working with wordpress today at http://www.vuuch.com/wordpress and I put the bbpress.org files at http://www.vuuch.com/forum. When i go to this location I am told “There doesn’t seem to be a bb-config.php file. This usually means that you want to install bbPress”. So I use the “let’s get started” link and complete the database name, user and password info. After pushing the save button I get a failure note “There was a problem connecting to the database you specified. Please check the settings, then try again.”.

I have tried a few times, I have reset the password to make sure I have it right. I called godaddy, but the are no help with wordpress. I am stuck! Please help!

Speaking of OpenID I need more testers on the OpenID prototype to give me feedback. It works with both 0.9 and 1.0
