Hi felt64
The missing comments, and the post they are under, all came after bbSync was installed. The only issue I can see is that when comments first go to moderation, bbSync doesn't log them; ever. Now that we have moderation turned off, bbSync works much nicer. However, I still want to get the comments back on the blog that are not displaying. :(
Right, that makes sense. I'll look for and add a comment_is_approved filter, and then you should be able to unapprove the comments and reapprove them and they should show up.
(Out of order and at the wrong time, though. Nothing I can do about that.)
In fact, can you add this to your list of filters in the plugin file? It never seemed to be triggered for me but it _should_ work, so I'm hesitant to put it in.
add_action('wp_set_comment_status', 'felsynccomment', 999, 2);Hi Fel64
I upgraded the plugin and added the line of code you stated above. I then un-approved and approved a comment that wasn't showing and it worked. :)
Now I just have to find all the comments that are missing and get them working again.
Thanks
FYI: Can we get that line of code above in all future releases?
Hi,
When I choose "Submit Info" it says it should work, but when I choose "Migrate" it gives the following error message:
WordPress database error: [Table 'rhellyer_flytrapbeta1.wp_bbpress_post_posts' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM wp_bbpress_post_posts
WordPress database error: [Table 'rhellyer_flytrapbeta1.wp_bbpress_post_posts' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM wp_bbpress_post_posts
I forgot to add that I'm using WordPress 2.3.1 and BBPress 0.8.3 and none of my posts or comments are transferred over to BBPress.
This plugin is exactly what I'm looking for so fingers crossed someone can help me get this working :)
Right BD, done.
Ryan, that's because you can only migrate from bbpress Post, a plugin that does the same thing as bbsync but in a fundamentally different way. You never had that installed, so "Migrate" cannot do anything.
This is a limitation of the plugin I do not see myself getting around anytime soon: you cannot retrospectively sync posts to topics. If you were to, say, edit an old post, that would create a new forum topic but dated at the time of editing. All the comments turned into replies would also have the current time. You cannot 'migrate' all the old, unsynchronised stuff (unless you had it all synchronised with bbpress Post previously).
bbsync only works for posts and comments made while bbsync is activated.
Thanks Felix.
I don't have many posts/comments yet so if needs be I can manually add them all myself to make sure they've sync'd properly.
Hi, This is an awesome plugin. Thank you!
I want to give some feedback here.
1. I can't get a post to go to the correct forum. I tried adding both number and name in the write screen. Everything seems to just get sent to the default forum even though I selected to let me choose and I filled in the boxes.
2. Instead of adding the name or number of a forum, could the plugin pull the forum list and let me select via a drop-down menu? Probably a 'refresh' button would be needed in case a new forum is added.
3. The new posts didn't appear in bbpress until I logged out then back in again.
I really like this concept since it is so hard to get a new forum going and this way the content is as original as my posts. There will always be fresh content (at least my own!)
I'm using WordPress 2.3.1 and the most recent version of bbpress ( just installed today).
Hi, I just found another problem:
Comments
WordPress database error: [Table '(databasename).bb_posts' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM bb_posts WHERE topic_id = 5 AND post_status = 0
---------------
it seems to be looking for a table called bbposts, but mine doesn't have one. Do I need to create one manually?
I thought that maybe the comment error was due to having a separate database, so I copied all my db tables to my wordpress db and then changed the bbpress config to match.
The comment errors disappeared from my posts, but now that I've added a new post I can no longer log in as admin and I can't move the thread to the correct group (as I mentioned I can't get the post to go to the correct category)
I didn't delete my original database so I suppose I can move the forum back to its own db in the config, but the comment error will come back. I actually haven't checked to see if the comments actually appear.
I've moved my install back to its own database... yes the comment errors have returned to WordPress.
I noticed that there isn't a way to disable the posting to the forum and that is an issue. The previous issues still exist. I use a system called PopShops to include products to my websites by adding to the end of a post. The popshops code of course doesn't transfer to the forum, so what happens is a blank post appears.
I tried adding the title code on the config page for the link back to the blog, but it doesn't do anything. No links appear in the forum.
lostdeviant, hi.
I thought I fixed that default forum posting bug. I'll look at it.
Is the forum dropdown really important? It could be done, I suppose, but the next few weeks are a little tricky for me.
Yeah, the databases need to be integrated.
Can you check out the bb_capabilities, wp_capabilities and capabilities entries in the usermeta table for me? I'm surprised you lost admin status in bb.
Disabling syncing is a good idea.
I don't know why PopShop breaks it, I'll try to look at how it works later tonight.
Any comment i make become the text for all comments . When i disable the plugin the comments return to normal .
Hi Felix,
Thank you for this great plugin and the time you give to all of us.
I have the same problem than shelomo.
When i activate bbsync, all comments of each post have the same text : the text of the last comment written for this post. This occurs on the weblog while everything is ok on the bbpress forum.
When i deactivate bbsync, all comments are back.
I'm not clever enough with php to have any suggestion... Just can follow yours !
Thanks again.
PS : i have WP 2.3.1, bbsync 0.94, bbpress 0.8.3.1
I used BBSync with wpmu 1.23 but now that I have updated to wpmu 1.3 (equiv of WP 2.3) my bbsync is broken.
I do not get the box at the end of posts asking me which forum to send the post to and if I highlight or edit a category for the post I get an error.
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare update_user_status() (previously declared in /xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/wp-admin/includes/mu.php:303) in /xxxxx/xxxx/xxxxxx/community/bb-includes/functions.php on line 817
Hey, great plugin. It was what convinced me to go with bbpress instead of phpbb or vbulletin. Anyway, the only issue I have right now is that when a user responds in the forum to a post, the comment shows up in the "comments" section of the post, but it does not increase the "comments" counter. For instance, if I have 0 comments on a post, but someone responds in the forum, it will post under comments, but above, it will say, "no comments". Also, if I look at the front page, it will say "0 comments" instead of "1 comment", like it should.
Another quick note: I don't know if it is this plugin, but it no longer informs commenters that their comment is awaiting modderation. It seems to just refresh the page, even though the comment has been submitted. This could be bad because they may keep posting comments, thinking that it just didn't work the first or second time.
Thanks for the great work.
I love this plugin!!! I just got it up and running on my WordPress 2.3.2/BBpress 0.8.3.1 site. Everything is humming along great I just wanted to put in a feature request. Many forums have the ability to have forums that are only accessible to admins/moderators. This would be a very welcome addition as this is a great way to facilitate collaborative efforts on a community site. Thanks for all the hard work!
never mind i just realized i posted the feature request for the forum software in totally the wrong place. Your plugin still rules though.
I just started having an issue with the syncing of comments. Whenever someone comments in WP the post appears twice in bbP and all previous comments in WP appear to be copies of the most recent post. When I deactivate this plugin everything goes back to normal except that any posts that were made in bbP are no longer available in WP. Any thoughts?
You must log in to post.
