Installation and tips for several languages on the same page
http://fudforum.org/forum/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=33432&th=6982#msg_33432
I suppose I have to choose English for the installation as English will be the default language anyway.
My first attempt to install went wrong as I chose Bulgarian for install and have only Bulgarian available right now. However, I am surprised already that the encoding is KOI8 rather than UTF-8, which should make things simpler for everybody.
Do you have any suggestion on how I should install FUDForum to end up with a result like in http://www.dan-balan.com/forums/dan-balan/index.php where multiple languages co-exist happily on the same page, and which we are trying to convert to FUDForum 2.7.5. ]]>Stephane2006-09-01T07:54:12-00:00Re: Installation and tips for several languages on the same page

As far Bulgarian translation, the reason it uses KOI8, is because that's the translation that was provided. If you would like to provide the UTF8 variant, feel free.]]>Ilia2006-09-01T20:08:21-00:00Re: Installation and tips for several languages on the same page

I figured out how to set the forum in English, that worked fine.
Then I used the converter from IPB to Fudforum and it went well for a while. It went through importing the IPB database. I was then advised to run consist.php, which ran successfully. But then when asked to optimise the database, I clicked "Here" and now I end up with absolutely nothing. I may not have waited long enough although the browser was not loading the page any longer (Status Ready). If I go to the forum now, I have a blank page.
Something went wrong when optimizing the database but I can access it from the command line and select * from fud26_users successfully. Something with templates maybe?
Thanks for your help]]>Stephane2006-09-01T21:06:20-00:00Re: Installation and tips for several languages on the same page

1. A parse error in GLOBALS.php. Somehow during the conversion from IPB 1.3 forum to 2.7.5, the $DISABLED_REASON value was written twice: "Forum is offline, blablabla..." "Forum is offline, blablabla...";
That gave a Parse Error, which could be solved easily.
Before that though, I had error messages about not being able to connect to the database, which got solved mysteriously (I only used the username and password mentioned in the file to check that I could connect successfully to the database and after that, I had no more messages about connecting to the DB, just the parse error I mentioned above).
2. Ownership of newly-created files was not set properly. I could run index.php from the command line and get the html code from it. But then when I tried from the browser, I still had nothing (or rather a nice empty page with: <html><body></body></html>). We made www-data owner of all files and it worked.
So now we have a working forum, which we still need to get into UTF-8 format for multiple language support, but we are on the right track.
I hope that can help some solve their own problem. Maybe Ilia has some explanation(s) or idea(s) about my issues.
In any case, great work guys, FUDForum rocks ]]>Stephane2006-09-04T09:42:46-00:00Re: Installation and tips for several languages on the same page

In any case, the designer is now busy changing the looks of the forum, so we are doing fine.
I am not an administrator of the Apache web server running php and mysql, so I am not sure what happened to the rigths on the files. What is sure is that www-data was not owner of those files but now is.
I would have another question to you though:
we are now testing to see what we can get out of FUDForum, and it all looks good. But in the meantime, the real forum is still going on with more posts and everything else. My question is: as we take the IPB forum offline to really start using FUDForum, is there a way to update the database with the new content, without having to redo all the design work? Can I simply update the database by re-running the ipb.php file? And if so, shall I then re-run consist.php and optimize the database?
I'll make a backup of GLOBALS.php before doing so.
