Here is my situation, I finally was able to install BBpress onto my server and got it to work, however, if you press any links in the bbpress it goes here

http://www.thegi.net/word/bbpress/forum/geekincognito

BBpress is installed here:

http://www.thegi.net/word/bbpress/

Naturally; word is installed here:

http://www.thegi.net/word/ but you can access it here: http://www.thegi.net/

What am I doing wrong ? Here is the config minus security PW’s

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘*******’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘******’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘*****’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change these last few

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old config.php does

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// The full URL of your bbPress install

$bb->uri = ‘http://thegi.net/word/bbpress/&#8217;;

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘TheG:I.Network’;

// This must be set before you run the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘ryan.a.neff at gmail.com’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks, set to ‘slugs’ if you want to use slug based pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = ‘slugs’;

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = -6;

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

// of Akismet’s powerful spam blocking, you’ll need one. You can get an Akismet key at

// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

$bb->akismet_key = ‘0123456789ab’; // Example: ‘0123456789ab’

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave it as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://thegi.net&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://thegi.net/word&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BBPATH’) )

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

Any pointers? As well, how would I adapt BBpress to the theme I have?

[madcap]

Well, that was definitely the problem.

I have the bbpress directory in the wordpress directory, and had the language parameter set in both. I read your post above, set the lang in bbpress to ”, and viola! It worked immediately.

It took me forever to find this post, but I’m glad it was posted. I would have died of old age before I figured that out on my own.

[alexhertz]

Thanks, I saw that plugin, but why would I replace one problem with another?

I’m surprised that so basic functionality is absent from bbpress plugins.

[scoooooop]

Bad news: when I went back to my site later, the formatting was all gone (white page with black and blue lettering to the left), and to get the page back to the normal bbpress format I added the http:// again, which put me back in a loop. I’m using IE (newest one) and I don’t understand how this can be an intermittent issue, but all I changed was the http:// in the config file.

[ruilouis]

I reply to myself (This forum is auto-curative ;P)

So for the people who are endeavouring the same errors here is the deal:

* a format specification for argument 1 doesn’t exist in ‘msgstr’ : This error is due to a missing variable in the translated string -> In my case a %s was missing.

* field `Language-Team’ still has initial default value : This error means that you have to update information in ” Catalog / Settings / Project info ” -> In my case the Project name and version was something like “bbpress trunk”, the Language wasnt defined, nor wad the Country, Charset and Source code Charset. I still do not have info in the Plural Forms but it’s running.

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you encounter problems with ja.po or ja.mo (Or if you want those files and cannot found them).

Part of the way would be using the plugin bbpress-post which creates the topic in the forum for comments. Just search for ‘bbpress-post’ and you will find the plugin. That would be a nice start anyways to your problems!

Trent

[peterwsterling]

Matt, the file does exist – it is in the template you are using. If you don’t have one (a template, or a template without this file), bbPress will be using the default one in “bb-templates/kakumei”

[chrishajer]

1. No problem

2. I am unfamiliar with the tag problem, but I *thought* it was fixed in r846

3. I don’t know about creating a subdomain of bbPress.org. You could always create your own site to support an arab user.

4. Nope, not an arab. American. People do call me hajii sometimes, but I’m pretty much American

1.thank you My frind …

Now i am translating ,

2.There is a problem in a Tags whith arabic words

3.can i crat “ar.bbpress.org” and suport an arab user ?

4.chrishajer : are you an arab ?

Is it possible to add the following functionality to bbsync:

(I’m copying from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/move-a-comment-from-wp-to-bbpress?replies=1)

In order to end some unruly discussions at the blog, I’d love to have a one-click solution for moving the offending comments to the forum.

Ideally, I’d create a “Blog discussion” forum in bbpress. Then, each post in the blog automatically creates a topic in that forum (no need to copy the post to the forum, just name the topic after the post). Then, in wp admin panel (Comments section) each comment has an option “Move to the forum”. So blog admin can easily move the irrelevant comments to appropriate topic in the forum.

[sheatsb]

I’m having a couple of issues:

-Is it just me, or are a few files missing from the package. There are claims in the documents of a

stylesheet and another file outside of bbsync.php.

-When I put the <?php bbrepliestext(); ?> tag in my theme, it shows nothing, then I try <?php felbbreplies(); ?> and I get Fatal error: Call to undefined function felbbreplies() in /Applications/MAMP/taos.htdocs/woodfin/wp-content/themes/default/single.php on line 56

I’ve integrated WordPress and bbPress with the database and plugins. Is there something I’m missing to make this work, because this is a great plugin.

[chrishajer]

Hi.

1. No, you can’t use the WordPress translation because there might be phrases that occur in bbPress that aren’t translated already for WordPress. I think you already discovered and resolved that.

2. You already figured out where to put the mo file (bb-includes/languages)

3. I have seen a couple different posts for places to host the translations, maybe this one would be OK?

http://www.bbpulp.org/wiki/Translation_files

I have no idea how to get it hosted “officially” at Automattic.

Thanks for translating.

[chrishajer]

There’s nothing special to bbPress to get this working.

What browser are you trying with? And is this always the admin user or have you created another user and tested with that?

[scoooooop]

Hi, no I had left the $bb->mod_rewrite = false; although I did try changing it to true once but with no success. I don’t know how to create .htaccess but like I said I’ve never had a problem setting up a WordPress site. Is that something specific to bbpress that I should know? I would have thought that my db/site host GoDaddy was big enough that if this was a problem someone would have come across it before! Thanks for the reply anyway.

thank you my frind!

i will shunt to do this jop , but i need to ask:

there is a Arabic Language for WP , can I use it for BBpress ?

[pixelplain]

Wanted to share our new forums using bbPress:

http://www.touchtip.com/forums/ – The site is about all things iPhone and iPod touch and a forum was a natural addition to our WordPress-based site.

bbPress was a pleasure to work with and configure. I have had a long, love-hate history with bb software (worked at ezboard during their glory days) and I think bbPress is where it’s at. Love the low bloat factor, simplicity and the focus on content. Nice to see the bbs advance in this way.

Thanks for bbPress and keep up the good work!

[chrishajer]

These instructions are for WordPress but the procedure is the same:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress

I think you take that pot file I linked to and use a tool like poedit to translate all the phrases that are in that pot file.

Then, according to the config.php:

// Change this to localize bbPress.  A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to 'de'

// to enable German language support.

define('BBLANG', '');

 

So, according to that, use poedit to generate the mo file (maybe it’s ar.mo for arabic?) and drop the ar.mo file you just created into the bb-includes/languages folder. Now change the BBLANG line to read:

define('BBLANG', 'ar');

I THINK.

I am guessing on the ar as the proper language according to this page I found:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry

I am totally guessing at all of this, but I think that’s pretty close to what you need to do. When you’re done translating, please post back and share your work. Thanks.

sorry , is this a Language file ?

where i can see it in bbpress files ?

thank you sri .

Hi,

I Need to translation BBpress To Arabic Language and cast it free to all .

is thare a Language file in BBpress ? where ?

[scoooooop]

Hey folks

I’ve been trying to install bbpress and after six full attempts (including fresh db’s) I’ve given up. Every time I install it goes into a loop where I login and it takes me right back to the login page. There is no dashboard in site.

I haven’t used any customizations and I don’t have wp running on the same db or site. I just install as described with the config.php filled in up to the email.

There doesn’t seem to be any documentation that covers this, and I’ve installed WordPress many times (on other sites) with no problems. I’m using GoDaddy and I’ve tried 4.1 and 5.0 and I’ve tried deleting cookies and downloading both the zip and the tar.gz versions of 0.8.3 in case there was a problem with your file but I always end up with the same result.

I expect I’ll be moving on to a different forum package but you may want to cover this in your instructions, could there be a issue with GoDaddy or with permissions?

[pwdrskier4]

SUCCESS!!!

It was the changes to bb-settings.php that did it, the 757 patch: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/757

Thanks for all the help chrishajer and livibetter. I could still be staring at my password wondering why it won’t work.

So now I have reinstalled again (to get rid of any bad changes I made while trying to figure this out) and we are good to go.

And yes, this was a “all of the sudden” problem, don’t know how, don’t know why. I have some other similar sites running the same code/settings and they still work fine without the patch even though they too have the host: ‘localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock’

Also, yes, I am on 0.8.3 and was before the issue – if you were still curious.

[livibetter]

Are you using 0.8.3?

Try to patch with https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/757

or

modify https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php#L56

to be

$this->$dbhname = @mysqli_connect( $server->host, $server->user, $server->pass, null, null, $server->port );

[chrishajer]

Did you change that from how it was working before, or did you recently upgrade to 0.83? I ask because 0.83 made the switch to db-mysqli.php and as far as I know db-mysqli.php does not accept the port parameter (the part after the localhost:)

So, was it working before and it stopped all of the sudden or did you upgrade something that might have broken it.

If you upgraded to 0.83, I think this ticket might be of interest to you:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/745
