bbPress.org

I’m using WP/BBP as a site wide CMS. It’s been really great so far thanks to the light-weightness of bbPress. I’ve really just had to hack the tables and change a little code to get the extra info in there that I want.

The only issues I’m wondering about is how to get the user data on a non bbPress page… I need to see if the user is logged in, and then get their userId…

Just to give you an example, I allow the user to save certain things, and I use the user id from the wp/bbpress users table. Can anyone suggest a light weight way to do this?

Hi there!

Why don’t use plugin authors gettext localization as bbPress itself does?!

I start testing plugins for the german community at bbpress.de and find out that absolutely NO plugin could be used without direct translation. That’s a pitty and I really wonder about this situation

Has anyone tried to install bbpress on ms sql server ?

I know mysql is required, but we already have a ms sql 2003 server up and runnig and would like to use bbpress on our intranet.

Of cource we don’t want to mess up the existing stuff, but on other hand we would like to avoid having both mssql and mysql runnig.

So any experience, good advices or hints would be appreciated…

bbPress 0.9 renamed the critical system email address that several plugins rely on (“admin_email” became “from_email”)

Unfortunately many plugin authors aren’t aware of this and the old setting is completely deleted from the database, which makes any older plugin that looks for “admin_email” fail and get a blank address and don’t anticipate/test for a blank. So they blindly insert the blank address into emails which causes the emailer to either fail or bounce the message.

A few of my plugins were affected, I just found another tonight, and there are several third-party ones still unpatched.

You can work around this problem by putting this into your bb-config.php (anywhere on a new line)

$bb->admin_email = 'email@your-forum.com';

where email@your-forum.com is the same email address you use inside bbPress on bb-admin/options-general.php

This won’t hurt anything, causes no extra load of any kind and simply allows older plugins to work without additional edits until the authors get a chance to upgrade them.

(Just remember you “hard coded” this address if you ever change the main one for any reason. You can delete it after 1.0 is out and all plugins have upgraded. In fact the old email address will become unused after all the plugin upgrade anyway so this can’t hurt anything in practice.)

Hello,

I recently upgraded to the .9 version of bb_press, and all special caracters like “é,à,è” are now converted to things like “é”.

This is typic for a rookie webmaster that declare his page to be written in utf8 when it is written in ISO-8859-1 (or similar)

But I did not do this error, it worked perfectly before.

And now, newly created topics and posts are well displayed but in my database, it’s not written in good caracters. There are lots of �.

I checked the installation to be “fr_FR”, but I couldn’t expect that stupid thing to happen.

I think bbpress 0.9 added a “convert” filter, but which one is it ?

how could I desactivate it, in a manner that also disactivate it for the next upgrade ?

Thank you

hey guys,

i am trying to por t a vbulletin forum to bbpress. i’ve managed to port it first to phpbb2 and then to bbpress 0.7 via converters, but know i am stuck unable to upgrade bbpress to 0.9.

0.7 seems to be working fine on first glance and i can login i can see user posts. but when i try upgrading to 0.9 i get stuck in the database conversion with a time out error. i have a dedicated server and i have changed the timing restriction from 600 to 6000 but i still get that error after hours of execution.

can anyone lend a hand? i’ve spent countless hours now trying to get this thing up and running to no avail.

thanks,

melvin

I have used this tutorial to create a mo file for a plugin:

http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2007/08/27/localizing-a-wordpress-plugin-using-poedit/

But I cann’t activate it

I have found a old topic on this issue:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-can-i-define-a-mo-file-for-a-plugin

But I cann’t see how to “name the mo files into our main mo file”

So can anyone tell me how to do this

(I’m using vers. 9.0.1)

First of all, thanks to everyone here for their hard work. I modified the K2 theme a bit to fit my site and did my best to integrate everything.

Still got a few things to work out, like figuring out how to auto-resize posted images so it doesn’t mess up the layout. Aswell as getting in a footer, etc.

Here’s the site, let me know what you think. Join the forums if you will, I need members!!

If anyone is familiar with the Vanilla system, there’s a popular plugin there that basically puts in a neat little fade effect after you make a post or reply

It’s a small detail, but it looks cool

I would like to add a drop down list to the post-form.php file, and I found the following on how to do this, but I am not understanding on how to grab the value after someone has posted a new thread.

Would it be possible to get additional help with this?
