  • One thing..

    Because WP recommends using UTF-8 but phpBB uses iso-8859-1 I created a script I implemented in the netclectic “functions_insert_post.php” under the “function_insert_post” function:

    $iso_array = array(“Ã¥”,”ä”,”ö”);
    $utf_array = array(“Ã¥”,”ä”,”ö”);

    $message = str_replace($utf_array,$iso_array,$message);
    $subject = str_replace($utf_array,$iso_array,$subject);

    What this does for me is that it ensures that the swedish åäö (last 3 in the se-alphabet) remains intact after a comment to a post.

    I am not finished so I shall return with the finished result.

    I don’t know if this one of those must-implement thingies but it sure helped me.
    /MFC

    Nevermind, for some out of this world reason the thingie started to work. I am confident that this has something to do with the three reboots I did this morning because yesterday it didn’t work even after updating.

    I am running WP 1.5.1.3.

    Now I am off to save the world of blogging, at least for the time being!

    Thanx for the quick replies.

    I have bookmarked this thread because I intend to return with the link when I am finished..

    /MFC

    That is what I did, I went under the Options and clicked on WPHPBB and the only thing I get is “Page cannot be found” and when I examine the link (“WPHPBB”) then I see that its linked to “wp-admin/wphpbb_options” and under my wp-admin there is no “wphpbb_options” so that explains the “Page cannot be found”. What I want to know is what the link is supposed to point to since there is no wphpbb_options in the wp-admin dir?

    /MFC

    Regarding the integration of WP with PHPbb the script from happypoet seems somewhat corrupt at least with my version. I have seen folks on the net who got it working but I am stuck.

    Before I continue describing my problem:
    WP Version 1.5
    WPHPBB 1.91
    PHPbb Version 2.0.16

    My problem is that the simple steps (getting fetch-all and the other files copying them, renaming the two functions in WP) are taken care of. I activate the script (WPHPBB) and then I figure that I need to configure it so I head off to the configuration panel to change the options for WPHPBB. I can see the WPHPBB panel, the link points to /wp-admin/wphpbb_options but the file cannot be found. I look carefully at the link and realize that all other links in the panel for configuring WP has “.php” at the end, and of course they reside in the wp-admin directory. My question is.. where the heck is the wphpbb_options.php if there is supposed to be one?
    If no then I wonder which file is the “options” file because I have tried renaming some of the files that came with the package.

    Any help is appreciated because as I can see some people have got it working (perhaps my version of WP is weird?) and I would also very much get it to work!
