Hi Ganzua, Thanks for taking the time to explain this to me. I believe, as you say, that it is not the best solution but, apparently, the only one at the moment (?).
I wonder how did other users managed to translate their integrated bbpress.
Thanks again!
“hi, I have the same problem. Has anyone found a way to integrate and change the language without errors?”
I managed to translate a wp-bb integration but I don’t know if you are going to like my workaround;
1. edit bbpress config.php and in define language section point to your wp language file with this code; ‘ define(‘BBLANGDIR’, ‘wp-includes/languages/es_ES.mo’); ‘ (change es_ES.mo for the name of your language .mo file)
2. edit wp language .po file and insert there your bbpress .po file. In other words, copy/paste all bbpress entries at the end of wp .mo file
3. Open with poedit and try to save this modifed file. You’re going to have +-100 duplicated entries in an error log. Delete all duplicated entries, one by one, so you can save.
4. When you save with poedit you produce 2 files; .po file and a .mo file. This .mo file is the one you want. Now you have translated both; wp and bbpress with just one .mo file.
I do know that this workaround implies a lot of future problems and I don’t like it at all but I didn’t find any other way.
I hope someday bbpress will appear as a plugin for wordpress.
The myavatar plugin supports Gravatar but I need to do some more work to update it to the latest code – Give me a few days
I have more or less the same problem. My forum is only accessible to WordPress users of the blog the forum is linked to. They cannot register themselves. Therefore registration is not possible on the forum either. All user names consist of two words. When I, or another user, is logged in in WP and then switches to the forum, he or she has to login again. When user name and password are filled in correctly and the login button is clicked, the user is redirected to a page where it says that the login failed and that he or she has to try again. But this time the space between the words of which the username consists is deleted (‘tester twee’ becomes ‘testertwee’). Logging in with the newly formed username doesn’t work either, of course. Logging in with a username that is made up of one word is no problem (for example ‘admin’).
This problem didn’t exist in the previous version of BBpress and it doesn’t have anything to do with the browser either since I tested this with Firefox as well as with IE. I also tried deactivating all plugins, but wasn’t the solution either.
I hope there is anyone who can help me fix this, because it’s really annoying. I was so glad I finally found a rather simple forum that could be integrated with WP.
hi, I have the same problem. Has anyone found a way to integrate and change the language without errors?
I am having problems with the character encoding of my bbpress install. I have it integrated with wordpress and when I use the “Latest bbpress discussions” plugin I see the weird characters you get when you mix collations and charsets.
I have wordpress in utf-8 thanks to this plugin: utf8 dtaabase converter.
Before it I had it set to utf but still, the database was showing weird characters (the collation was alright though). So this is probably a MySQL problem somewhere.
Should I try to adapt the wordpress utf8 converter for bbpress?
Just down loaded latest version and it says copy the confi.example.php to the config.php and I don’t see a document called config.php. What do they mean?
Yeah all the “users online” and user tracking can only come after I release a user tracking plugin 
Try this:
.post { display: block; width: 100%; overflow: auto; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; }
Tested in IE 6, Opera 9.23 and Firefox 2.0.0.6 on the PC
Didn’t test it on IE 7 though, so you might want to look at that…

Nice nice 
. Maybe a “Most users ever online” or something. Personally I like to keep statistics simple and compact, but some people like to display a lot of statistics.
Top Taggers maybe? Who knows.
I began working on this last night:
http://bbshowcase.org/forums/views/statistics/
As you should be able to tell it’s far from finished.
I’m interested in hearing ideas for other statistics you’d like to see.
I already just realised a list of the 10 oldest/newest member registrations might be interesting.
Since all those calculations are “expensive” I’ll make it cache them for an hour at a time (perhaps adjustable).
Also there will be more time/user based calculations once I get useronline released for bbpress.
Currently bb-topic-views is required for the module.
I’ll release it for beta test after more work on it tonight.
After a few tests it seems the problem comes from the last paragraph
// 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://www.subventions.fr’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’
$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.subventions.fr/wordpress’; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com’
$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;
$bb->cookiedomain = ‘.subventions.fr’;
define(‘WP_BB’, true);
require_once(‘/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);
/* Stop editing */
if ( !defined(‘BBPATH’) )
define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );
require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );
?>
Where is the error guys?
Is there a way to get the latest posts highlight to, instead of highlighting the title bar and the first post, skip the first post and then highlight the second post first? (To avoid having a very thick highlighted top plus the first post)
I had a user write a post with this title:
This creates a post like this:
* http://www.kosmosity.com/forums/topic/?replies=1#post-2
I’m using the “slug” option on this test forum which uses the default theme and bbPress 0.8.2.1. It looks like the is being sanitized to “” (an empty string), which confuses bbPress and leads to that topic resolving to an error page. On the test forum to which I just linked, I have no plugins except WordPress Integration.
Has anybody else run into this bug? Is there an existing workaround? If other people can replicate this bug, I’ll create a ticket in Trac. Also, if there’s no existing workaround, I’ll try to create a plugin workaround.
Thanks,
Bob
Oh, thank you SamBauers – this is the information missing on this site…
But as I read at the trac site, the problem is already known. It is fixed by changeset 867 – at least in my test environment. I’ll upload it to the real server, it seems to be okay and of course it will be better than my quick and dirty “solution”…
I installed bbPress version 0.8.2.1 on Windows XP Pro SP2 with Apache 2.2.4 and PHP 5.2.3. I installed a few plugins, and everything worked fine. However, when I tried to register a new user for testing, I couldn’t receive the e-mail with the password.
I checked the error log and found this:
[Sat Aug 18 21:18:09 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Warning: mail() [<a href='function.mail'>function.mail</a>]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in 
\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\forums\bb-includes\registration-functions.php on line 105, referer: http://127.0.0.1/forums/register.php
Most things on Apache and PHP are set to default, so I’m not sure if I skipped any processes. I’ve been having trouble with SMTP for a long time now.
Hi i found that the bbpress had ajax utility for posting rea but it removed i don;t know the reasons!
but i think everyone will be agree with me it would be nice if there is ajax plugin for bbpress post area
fastY easy and user friendly feature i hav no technichal knowledge so who like to start it…
i will test it and get feed back
_ck_ ?
I’d like to add a dropdown menu which lets the user jump between the different forums, latest discussions, and favorites. I’d love a little help with this

No “fastload” is not very useful for servers with a proper opcode cache and responsive disk system (and files are fetched and rendered on the same node). On my VPS it actually adds a few ms on average.
The load on dreamhost has been over 20 for most of today so it’s not surprising anyone will find the bbpress+smf test sites slow.
I’m probably going to switch the showcase back to nearlyfreespeech shortly which is still on the slower side and uses only http 1.0 as it’s forces though a squid proxy.
Unless someone can find a $20 or less per year host that has a better setup as my budget is maxed out. Can’t even afford to replace my mouse that’s acting up right now.
I’ve got μ loaded through the config.php file. I’ll look into some of the μ functions and see what I can do.
I don’t think that trk_addDefaultRole function is being called from bb_new_user at all. Is there a way I can test to see if it is?
Got a bit of a weird error happening – Let me begin
Yesterday I did a bit of work sorting out my quite frankly flaky forums – Got everything working quite nicely but then I decided to remove the Avatar Upload plugin because I couldn’t get it looking nice against the users in the forums in the time I had left
However having turned it off I then found I couldn’t access any of the user profile pages including my own – I just get a completely blank page
I’ve removed the calls to show the avatar on the profile page itself but its still falling over
The site error log is reporting the following:
[Wed Aug 15 04:24:42 2007] [error] [client 86.158.248.246] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_header() in /home/httpd/vhosts/<sitename>/httpdocs/forums/profile.php on line 1, referer: http://<sitename>/forums/
Now I know that this simply isn’t true – bb_get_header() is part of the core and its more likely that one of the plugins has gone screwy but I’ve tried turning off the plugins but I’ve done quite a bit of customisation and the majority of the plugins don’t die quietly – they cause major blow-outs if not available so I’m now having to go through all my template code and put if blocks around them to stop them
The list of plugins I have installed are as follows
Limit Latest Discussion 0.73
Simple Onlinelist 1.5
My Views 0.05
BBPress Private Messaging 0.80
Posts since last visit 0.5-beta
Report Post 0.11
Avatar Upload 0.8.2
Private Forums 5.2
Use Display Name 0.7.2
bbPress signatures 0.14
My Views module – Started/Participated Topics 0.05
Any help would be really appreciated
Yeah dreamhost certainly does suck. I just have a $20 per year promo account that I completely forgot about until recently when I wanted to test bbpress on various hosts (I’m looking for other super cheap hosts to try it on if you know of any, especially pay-as-you go like nearlyfreespeech.net)
What’s really strange is that some other forum software works MUCH faster on dreamhost and I am trying to figure out why. Take a look at WP plugin author GamerZ’s SMF (simple machines forum, evolved from YaBB) which is on another Dreamhost node:
http://forums.lesterchan.net
It’s incredibly responsive. Not even running an opcode cache. Of course SMF has half a decade of development behind it, but still, it’s impressive. I suspect they use partial page caching somehow. Meanwhile GamerZ’s WP blog running on the same account, crawls at times.
As everyone knows, if a user registers in bbpress instead of through wordpress(mu) that user doesn’t get a default role set.
I’ve dug and dug on both the bbpress and wpmu forums and haven’t found a fix for this. I did find a fix that apparently works for wordpress, but I tried it for wordpress mu with no luck.
The 4th post in this thread explains a way to set roles in wordpress mu.
I imagine that a plugin with the combination of the two solutions would allow users to register through bbpress and get a default role on the main wordpress mu blog. But, unfortunately I have no clue what I’m doing. If anyone has a free minute or two to look at the bits of code and maybe hack something together that would be awesome.
Oh, and I’m using the latest versions of both bbpress and wpmu.
Hmmm I’m trying to make use of this plugin but I’m having some issues – The plugin shows up in the admin and I have enabled it and pulled down the latest list of plugins available – No problems there..
However, when I try to install a plugin off the list – it creates the appropriate directory and informs me that the plugin has been installed but when I go to activate it – I don’t see it in the plugin list and when I check the contents of the directory – its empty – the permissions on the directory are set to 755
Anyone any ideas?
