You cannot keep the old file. Dates should be translated now, see https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/646

Anyway, after wp integration I haven’t been able of translating bbpress because it reports a streams.php error whenever you try to set a BBLANG file

Ok did some work got front-page to display correctly by putting in (div page). Put that in all the css files calling header, sidebar and footer. Didn’t help. Here is the basic div structure:

<div head>

</div>

<div page>

<div ncol>

</div>

</div>

<div footer>

</div>

header {

margin: 0px 0px;

padding: 0px;

display: block;

width: 778px;

height:195px;

background-color: #314D73;

background: url(‘images/header.jpg’) no-repeat bottom center;

border: 0px solid #CCCCCC;

cursor: pointer;

}

.page {

width: 778px;

margin: 1px 0px;

padding: 0px;

background-color: transparent;

border:0px solid #CCCCCC;

text-align: left;

float: left;

}

.ncol {

padding: 20px 0px 10px 23px;

width: 395px;

background:transparent;

float:left;

}

.footer {

font-family: ‘Lucida Grande’, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;

line-height: 17px;

font-size: 0.8em;

margin: 0px 0px;

padding-bottom: 30px;

width: 778px;

height: 80px;

background: url(‘images/footer.jpg’) no-repeat bottom center;

border:0px solid #CCCCCC;

Hm. I’m pretty sure I’m actually logged in. Let’s say I’m at the gallery.php page, which is in the root of mydomain.com. I type in my valid login id and password. The next thing I see is the front page of my forum (http://mydomain.com/forums/index.php) , which reads “Welcome, kehlers (View your profile)” etc. I can add, post, go to admin section, etc. When I view cookies, I have a bb_user_(hash) and bb_pass_(hash), which seem to have appropriate values. All that to say, I think I’m logged in successfully.

However, if I go back to gallery.php, I still see the login form, as though nothing has happened. I did try adding $bb->cookiepath = '/'; to my config.php, but it didn’t seem to make a difference. Do I need to restart anything (browser? Apache?) once I’ve added that? I wouldn’t think so, but thought it was worth asking.

Thanks for your help on this!

I just ran jaim3’s A phpBB to bbPress database converter to import stuff from old phpBB (2.0.21) to bbPress (0.8.1). I only got “9. Writing the exported database to the file: /home/pengguo/public_html/tmp/phpbb_imported.sql 39816” then nothing. I check bbPress and it seems that it imported forums, but when I tried to click one of forums, it led me to new topic post, instead of viewing topics.

I tried to search the error here, but no luck… What’s going on?

[fel64]

Yeah, I know, but thanks. ^^ In the meantime you can use this hack I brewed up a while ago to display replies as comments beneath bbPress-Post integrated posts. Don’t think it supports avatars, though. But we’ll get this to work

0.8.2: Hot off the bbPress

Hierachical forums, plugin managment, “slug” permalinks and more!

[foyb]

hi,

i installed bbPress upon a community.

the theme is a modified kakumai theme,

some plugins used, the forum is avaible in russian and german language using the .po files from bbpress.de and bbpress.ru

i had to write my own plugIn which helps me to sync the users from the community to the forum.

apart of the theme and the disabled bozo.php the forum software is untouched.

here you can see it in action:

http://www.russian-imperial.de/forum/

p.s. bbPress rocks. best forum software ever

[TomPreuss]

This usually means that you have mod_rewrite equals true in your config.php, but don’t actually have the .htaccess file for them to work. Go back to your config and change that to false to make sure it works again. After that, you could check out:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks

(Answer taken from Trent’s post here)

[dreamXG]

First off, I have to say, bbPress rules! loved it right from install.

And because I love it so much, I decided to mod it into a clean gallery, still needs much testing, but I have one problem.

Doing masses of search/replaces on words such as ‘forums’, ‘posts’, etc. is time consuming. I read through some documentation to find out that you can use an .MO dictionary file, to display alternate words that are called with the _() function!

So I want to ask, how do I go about generating an MO file and using it within bbPress!

Any help will be much appreciated.

[sneakym]

Hey fel just wanted to give you an update that may or may not help you. BBpress-Post works 1oo% fine for me. All of my wp posts go right into BB and when I click on “leave a comment/discuss in fourm” I go straight to the topic in BB. All I would need is for those comments to come back into wp so that you can view them without going into BB and for the avatars to be supported/viewable in wp which is what bbsync does and it is killing me that I cant get it to work!!!!

Anyway, I thought this might help because it seems their code/config (use of three php files?) works fine on my end…thought you might able to adapt something in your next version based on this…

thanks again fel!!!!

[quigley05]

Hello,

I installed the bbpress to my server here http://bqtrademark.com/bbpress/ but for some reason half my links don’t go to the correct destination. Anyone have any idea what I could have done wrong?

Thanks!

[fel64]

Are you sure you’re actually logged in? I would argue that you’re not logged in if it comes up with the login form.

I think this sounds like a cookies issue. Can you add this to your config.php and see if it works?

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

If not, check what the properties are for cookies set (just to make sure that’s not the problem).

[kehlers]

I’ve tried to find the answer to this by reading the forums and my own experimentation, but I’m still having problems. Any information welcome. In summary, the only way I can seem to acess bbPress login info from other pages on my site is to put bbPress at the root of my site, i.e. on the same level as my other scripts.

I have a PHP/MySQL installation and I would like to integrate bbPress with my own PHP applications. I don’t want the user to have to have two login IDs/passwords – my issue is very similar to User table abstracted in future versions?, only in reverse. That is, I want to use bbPress functions as the primary authentication/registration and have my apps acess the bbPress user info.

EX: I have a file called http://mydomain.com/gallery.php, in which I have added the following code:

require("bb-load.php");

login_form();

bb_get_current_user_info('id');

if  (bb_current_user_can('administrate')) {

//do some things admins can do

}

IF I put the bbPress install at the root of mydomain.com, this all works beautifully, but I want to put the bbPress install in http://mydomain.com/forums/. If I do that, altering the code to point to “forums/bb-load.php”, I get the login form, but it doesn’t work: I can type userid and password, and click login, but no login occurs. Furthermore, the login form appears even if a valid user is currently logged in – it doesn’t say “Welcome, UserID”.

Do I need to do a plug-in? If so, what would it do, in general? Thanks in advance!

[Kahil]

It is pointing to the correct folder, just isn’t pointing to any file like it should.

[starrett]

fel: Disabling the “Do you want me to load bbPress whenever to …” checkbox worked! I’m now getting the replies from the forum topics on indie pages. Just a few quick questions:

How do you keep it from posting the entire original entry in the forums? (I know the “How much of your blog post do you want shown on the forums? Set it to 0 to get the full post.” option is there, but I don’t quite understand how to use it – for example, make it stop at the <!--more--> tag.)

What are the rest of the tags (other than <?php felbbreplies(); ?> ) that we can use? I can go ahead and test them out, to make sure that the rest of them are working as well.

Sneaky: Don’t worry!

Some have had successful integrations and some problems depending on what you need. I am still sifting through which ones work and don’t

[Trent Adams]

Do a quick search of wp header and bbpress and you will come up with several threads that have this in it. In fact, there are 2 or 3 on the main 25 topics being shown right now.

[Trent Adams]

Did you get it from my site recently? I just downloaded it again and uploaded it and it worked……hmm. Try again?

[htheeditor]

Hey Bbolman,

I think I got all the files inside that directory…I’ve installed a few other templates with no problem, it’s this one that’s acting like this.

Maybe I downloaded a file with missing elements?

[driz]

Hey so i want to make my header from WordPress installation appear in my bbPress one, so say i add something new like a link etc it will appear globally rather than only on WP. Any safe way to do this?

Im wanting both WP and bbP to work together seamlessly.

[fel64]

Starrett: Fantastic! I think I’ve got the problem, for now go to the options and disable the “Do you want me to load bbPress whenever to …” checkbox. Temporary fix.

Sneaky, we’re gonna make it work!

[fel64]

Forget about the PHP.

Where it just says “avatar” instead of displaying the image, open the page source (in FF: Ctrl + U, in IE: probably something), then search for “avatar” until you hit the right place. There should be an image tag. Look at the src property. Does that URL point to a valid image file? If not, what does it read?

[ynotweb]

sorry, took a break. that looks right to me, given your wordpress blog is at http://www.sitenameishere.com/wp/

also, you’re missing the semi-colon at the end of the require line – after the end paren ); but you may just not have typed that in here. check for that, it would break a site. Otherwise, not sure. Assuming the bbpress install works fine with the default theme…
