i would also like to know the answer to this 
When I try to install bbPress 0.9.0.4 I see infinite times this message
Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /web/htdocs/www.XXX.com/home/forum_/bb-includes/wp-functions.php on line 113
Anyway, I completed my installation. But what I try to get my forum, I see again the first page to install it…
Any ideas?
That only works for FireFox, fernandot
Basically the urls are (assuming your bbpress is in a folder called ‘forums’ and you’re using pretty permalinks)
http://domain.net/forums/rss/ – All posts
http://domain.net/forums/rss/topics – All topics
That RSS you demand is integrated in bbPress. In your browser navigation bar, if you click to the RSS icon it shows you the list with the two RSS feeds availables. One is for latest topics and other one is for latest messages in all topics. If you see my forum ( http://forowordpress.es/ ) I’ve added two links to both in the sidebar (redirected to feedburner as you can see). 
BTW, I just tried to remove a tag and it says that I can’t because the topic “is closed” when it actually is not 
Thanks for the fix
I have functions.bb-template.php and functions.bb-core.php modified because there are some stuff that is related with the template; h2 tag, tag cloud size, « Previous and a &hellip for pagination…
Could it be possible to move this stuff to the template folder? perhaps in a functions.php file?
having same problems here on 1 alpha 6. Would love to see this fixed asap. No pressure or anything! Thanks.
Same is happening on my board that I just recently installed. It is a fresh install of WP 2.7 and bbPress 1.0-alpha-6.
Its all running on:
Win XP SP3 (please dont kick me )
Apache – 2.2.4 (Win32)
PHP – 5.2.3
MySQL – 5.0.37
But why would you ever do such a thing?!
Thank you ganzua. I appreciate your help!
To make it always link the past post change line 105
from
if ($up_key!=false && $up_last_posts[$up_key]!=$topic->topic_last_post_id) {$link = get_post_link($up_last_posts[$up_key]);}
to
if (!empty($up_key)) {$link = get_post_link($up_last_posts[$up_key]);}
I might make that a feature.
I suspect it’s going to make your queries per page go up much higher though.
apologies. its working like this (we think):
1. If you click on a thread you have not read since the upgrade, you’ll go to first post.
2. If you click on a thread you have read since the upgrade, and there are new posts, you’ll go to new posts.
3. If you click on a thread you have read since the upgrade, and there are no new posts, you’ll go to first post.
ideally we want #3 to take us to the LAST post instead. is there a quick code change for this?
Hi
I’m puzzled again
Quicktacks are working ok in post-form.php but not in edit-form.php. The only tag that works in edit-form.php is the “link” tag.
I’m not using any plugin, I’m calling the script to the header and then I place it next to the form textarea.
Why is not working in edit-form.php?
The problem is quite simple, really.
<li<?php if ($current_forum_id=get_forum_id()) {echo " class='on'";} ?>> just needs to be changed to <li<?php if ($current_forum_id==get_forum_id()) {echo " class='on'";} ?>>
(Can you spot the difference?)
I’m getting the same error too. I’m on lunarpages hosting, and I went through “enable php5,” but the error is still there. What else can I do?
Here’s the error:
Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /home/[censored]/public_html/semostudents/forums/bb-includes/wp-functions.php on line 113
EDIT: Alright, I removed php5 and re-added php5, something went wrong with the .htaccess files. It’s working now under php5.
@Fender:
You would need to have the link put into the post at the time of display, not at the time of posting. I already emailed you the plugin you asked for.
Or, even better, use the database prefix.
i tried switching my mt’s Grid server to php5 and the errors are gone …
if you can switch your server into php5 as well that should fix the MBCS error problem.
be careful though as some php4 codes may not work in php5
getting the same errors as criketos
I’m guessing that one of the php function used in the new release of bbPress only supports PHP5

I would like to install bbpress 0.9.0.4. but at the second step (http://vinblog.com/forums/bb-admin/install.php?step=1).
I have error “Warning: can not yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode ()! in / home / vinblog / www / forums / bb-includes / wp-functions.php on line 113. “
someone would have the solution?
THANKS

paste the code into the SQL field in phpmyadmin
export the result to a CSV
import the CSV to your bbpress forum tables.
I was able to achieve most of what I wanted to do with almost no core hacks.
I editted my template front-page.php to basically be topic.php but without the re_permalink() ; call and statically setting $topic_id = 2.
The core hack I made was to change functions.bb_templates.php to modify all location query functions to trick it into thinking ‘front-page’ is topic-page instead (these are mostly case statements inside functions like is_front() and is_topic()) , meaning that post.php, post-form.php and /bb-post.php all fuinctioned on my new front page in the same way they would on topic.php. I would prefer to develop a plugin that did this modification, but I don’t have time to make one.
So it essentially does what I wanted it to do, albeit with a core hack that will have to be manually maintained in future releases unless a plugin is developed.
In the last few days, I’ve basically discovered that neither WordPress or bbPress can do more than 60% of what I want, and it’s a different 60% in each case. bbPress has one major advantage for me over WordPress right now, and that is bbPress Moderation Suite. WordPress has nothing remotely resembling it and I doubt I’ll be able to find someone willing to build it, even for cash. But even bbPress Moderation Suite is missing one key thing for me, and that’s email notification to the users, but Nightgunner is working on that one already.
I’ve been playing with this one and there’s a modification I would mind seeing, or some help on how to make the modification.
I’m trying to use the AJAX Quote plugin with this, but unfortunately it breaks. The reason is simple … the AJAX Quote plugin basically copies the id=x&page=y#post-zz into the postbox so that you can find and navigate to the original post being quoted. When using this script, it gets broken because the most recent posts are always on page=1, meaning that when a post that’s been replied to gets bumped to page=2, the link is now incorrect.
What I’d like to see is that the page id’s for a paginated topic don’t change … the earliest post will always be page=1 and the most recent posts will be on the highest page number. I can see that the quoting system can still be broken if the posts per page setting is changed, I know. But assuming it doesn’t change, then this would maintain the integrity of the quote links.
Any ideas?
Looks like a few changes might be needed unless I’m missing something along the way…
This makes the favorites load properly for me.
includes/functions.bb-users.php
line 221
FROM
if ( !empty($user->favorites) ) {
TO
if ( !empty($user->bb_favorites) ) {
includes/class.bb-query
line 442
FROM
$where .= $this->parse_value( 't.topic_id', $f_user->favorites );
TO
$where .= $this->parse_value( 't.topic_id', $f_user->bb_favorites );
line 559
FROM
$where .= $this->parse_value( 'p.topic_id', $f_user->favorites );
TO
$where .= $this->parse_value( 'p.topic_id', $f_user->bb_favorites );
Basically, there are a few other places where $user->favorites needs to be changed to $user->bb_favorites.
So, I’ve got it up and working from doing the above. I’ve never needed to commit a change to the trac before. Should I just open a ticket, or can I change it directly?
Yes, you should use absolute pathing. Try this:
Redirect 301 /bbpress/register.php http://www.scopedin.com/wordpress/wp-login.php?action=register
You want bbpress/register.php and NOT your theme because the main register.php is actually what gets called.
