I know just enough PHP to be dangerous. Very dangerous. 
In other words, not much…
Maybe this is the opportunity for me to learn more. We’ll see…
Just want to say THANK YOU!!
I gave up converting my phpBB forum months ago:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-phpbb-to-bbpress-database-converter/page/2
But by utilizing the info here (and buy editing the SQL file by hand), I was able to get my forum into the very latest bbPress… it’s even integrated with WP.
http://www.judyhenskefan.com/forums/
Now I get to work on a new design for the forum and blog (as well as add lots of plugins to the new forum).
Thanks again everybody! 
This looks good. I’m looking forward to the next version.
Any chance of you upgrading the Private Forums plugin?
I’m in the same boat as you, mciarlo. Every time I make a small change at the admin panel, I have to remember to go back to the Private Forums menu and change all the forums back to private. I’ve let it slip a few times…
Thanks Rune. I actually don’t like to hack admin files… Wyvn’s suggestion did the trick. I just made note of the change so I can do it again when I upgrade next.
Maybe you can submit that for a future version of bbPress.
Hmm…. not sure to how to change that code without getting errors (I’m running 0.9.0.1 on this particular forum).
function get_profile_info_keys() {
return apply_filters(
'get_profile_info_keys',
array('user_email' => array(1, __('Email')), 'user_url' => array(0, __('Website')), 'from' => array(0, __('Location')), 'occ' => array(0, __('Occupation')), 'interest' => array(0, __('Interests')))
);
}
function get_profile_admin_keys() {
global $bbdb;
return apply_filters(
'get_profile_admin_keys',
array($bbdb->prefix . 'title' => array(0, __('Custom Title')))
);
}
Thanks Wyvn. It would be nice if there was something in the Admin menu to change this, but for now I’ll just change that file.
I just set up two new accounts… testuser1 and testuser2.
As testuser1, I posted a new topic.
As Keymaster, I was unable to delete testuser1’s post. Before logging off as Keymaster, I made testuser2 a Moderator.
Logging in as testuser2, I was able to delete testuser1’s post.
I’m running v0.8.3 with WordPress 2.3.3. I am not in a position to upgrade to bb 0.9.01 or WP 2.5 yet, since our forum and website are very active right now.
So… why can’t the Keymaster delete a post?
You can try bbPortal:
http://www.bbportal.org/
I’m not sure if it works with v0.9 or not. Haven’t seen Null around here for a while now…
I had some spam to delete today, and realized that the “Delete” function still wasn’t working for the Keymaster.
I deleted the offending post and topic name from PHPMyAdmin, but I really don’t want to do that!
Can somebody help me troubleshoot this problem? The forum gets a decent amount of traffic, and there are a few trolls waiting in the wings.
At least I’m not the only one with problems.
I have the plugin activated, and if you type the shortcut, the image does appear. But you can’t click on the image links to make them appear in your post.
Seems to be broken in 0.9.0.1. Anybody else having trouble?
Ok, I’m going to wait to install the update for a bit. But in the meantime, is it possible to delete the offending post via PHPMyAdmin without screwing something up?
Thanks!
Update: I tried it without the “Report Post” plug-in, and it still didn’t work.
I’m reluctant to turn off all plug-ins, since that would break functionality. The forum is live and gets a decent amount of traffic.
I removed “topic_resolved” from the script. A fresh install later, and I get this error: “Column count doesn’t match value count at row 1”
“Thomas Klaiber has made an online list plugin. It’s in the plugins section.”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think it will display guests.
I just reinstalled bbPress and did NOT utilize WP integration. I also tried using the forum support plugin, as recommended by fel64.
Now I’m getting this error:
Unknown column ‘topic_resolved’ in ‘field list’
I just tried this using phpBB 2.012 and bbPress 0.8.3.
This is the error I get:
Table ‘khanlon_db3.henskebb_users’ doesn’t exist
And that makes sense, since I already set up bbPress to integrate with WordPress. Since bbPress is using the wp_users table, the script doesn’t know where to put the phpbb users.
As it stands now, bbPress shows all the topic counts for each forum, but when you click on the forum, none of the threads are listed.
I tried exporting all the users using phpMyAdmin and importing into the WP table, but the threads are still missing.
“I ported GamerZ’s useronline plugin for wordpress to bbpress awhile back. Been meaning to clean it up and release it one day.”
Any news on this one?
I have tried baptiste’s changes, but I’m still getting backslashes when quoting text (using the Quote plugin).
I am integrating with WordPress, but I don’t use a WordPress Integration plugin, as referred to by RCanine. I’m using the bbPress Integration plugin.
There are some decent programs for legal mass mailing that you can use. For Mac, there’s a great program called MailDrop that will import email addresses from a spreadsheet. The email service, Constant Contact, does the same thing. Just export from PHPMyAdmin and import the info into your bulk mail program.
A plug-in would be easier, that’s for sure!
Running the latest version of bbPress and the latest version of ck’s plugin.
Signatures won’t update when you try to change them in Edit Profile. No error messages to be found.
Sorry guys. Didn’t realize that was frowned upon.
