Description:
This hack integrates Urdu OpenPad in your vBulletin forum. At the moment this hack is only available in the form of template modification instructions. These changes are aimed at converting specific edit areas into Urdu edit areas. You can use the same procedure to convert any other edit area into an Urdu edit area. Please note that this integration is available for textarea-mode i.e. it does not work for the wysiwyg mode.

NOTE: It has been brought to my notice that users on some forums are having problems logging in with Urdu user names. This is because of the way Unicode data is handled in a non-Unicode forum. I recommend skipping the modifications in the navbar, STANDARD_ERROR, STANDARD_ERROR_LITE, STANDARD_ERROR_LOGIN and the register templates on these forums.

Demo: Urdu Mehfil Forum

Upload files:
Upload the contents of the upload folder to your forum root.

Template Changes:

in the headinclude template

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] - $foruminfo[title_clean] - RSS Feed" href="external.php?type=RSS2&amp;forumids=$foruminfo[forumid]" />

How i add this encoding it should e in the Header rite?

I added the CSS definitions and it the keyboard disappeared.

You can find the encoding in the language settings. I have no clue about the disappearing of the on-screen keyboard.

Kaleem · #24 08-07-2007, 05:27 PM

Ok i changed to utf-8.

I took out ur Additional CSS things and keyboard showed up but not clickable :s

simunaqv · #25 08-07-2007, 06:20 PM

I have looked at the page source and it still does not contain the additional css definitions. May be you are adding these to some other style. Please make the size of the textarea a bit smaller otherwise the users will have to scroll to use the on-screen keyboard.

Hi,

I am quite happy that this hack is released. Thanks Nabeel Bahi. Great work.

I cant find modifications for Registration, if some one need registeration in Urdu then upon registration, after these modifications, he will be only able to use english username. Any help will be great.

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards,

Have you applied the template modifications? These should also take into account the registration textbox. Anyway my suggestion would be to skip the modifications in navbar, STANDARD_ERROR, STANDARD_ERROR_LITE and the STANDARD_ERROR_LOGIN templates if your forum is not a true unicode forum. Otherwise users with Urdu usernames will not be able to login.

myown · #30 08-08-2007, 02:11 PM

Hi Nabeel,
My forums are fully Urdu forums. I have implemented all the modifications and all are working well. Only registration is not taking Urdu input.
Right now i am converting my old forums (SMF) into VB.. but getting few errors. Hopeful will be finishing these errors tonight. (solved)

But found an - other problem, user passwords are not working

But regarding this reregistration i cant do any thing

Please can you look into this issue? any idea where things have gone wrong...

Best Regards,
