Shouldn’t be a problem fixing it, it did work but nonetheless I’ll take a look, I have a sneaking suspicion there might be a couple of differences in the database schema between various version of vB3 :/

Cool, most of things you mention can be done, some are ready to go, others need a few tweaks and custom PHP code to achieve the results.

1. create login in the wp home page for BBpress

Create a WordPress page, set that as your home page, add the bbPress login/register shortcodes

2. allow only offline registered members to be registered as BBpress users

Not quite sure what you mean here, you can set your forums to ‘private’ so only logged in registered members can see or use the forums.

3. enable/disable users, and hence their profiles

This is more of a WordPress question than bbPress, if the member has an active and valid WordPress account then they can login. If you want to remove the user and their associated profile then you’d delete the actual WordPress user which inherently flows down to bbPress.

4. allow users to create profiles with their filmography and perhaps a vimeo embed or two

With a few minor tweaks/customisations you could achieve this, you may also want to take a look at BuddyPress’ Extended profiles which will let you do this also.

5. can users have simple URLs for their profiles, like perhaps example.com/username?

Yep, this is built in, here’s yours here on bbpress.org https://bbpress.org/forums/profile/parambyte/

Why not use one of the many ‘contact form’ plugins that offer that functionality?

Not saying it couldn’t be done but seems like it’s really a forum you are after.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 6 months ago]

Click the ‘download gist’ link, it will download a zip archive, unzip it and use FTP to upload the plugin to your WordPress plugins folder, typically /wp-cntent/plugins

Edit: Or go to ‘Plugins’ -> ‘Add new’ -> ‘Upload’ and you can then upload it directly.

I haven’t looked at what you have above closely, nor have I looked closely at the changes @jjj made recently but we just changed some of the logic behind trash, untrash, spam and unspam for topics and replies.

Details and links to changesets are in the following ticket if you want to take a look as it appears I have not really looked at anything 😉

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2494

If you don’t see anything in that ticket or related to what your looking for please create a new ticket and I promise I will look 😉

I have hardly dug into bbPress 1.x and am not familiar with the code base at all.

How about grab the latest bbPress v1.2 and create a test/demo site on your local PC with a backup your database, things should theoretically work though you ‘d have to make sure the database upgrade routine was triggered of course.

That should then give you a working version with your database to then start comparing the base code of your test site vs your live site.

That said, what is stopping you from upgrading? I am presuming here that there is something stopping you from installing WordPress and upgrading bbPress 1.x to the v2.x plugin?

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 6 months ago]

Hmmmm, that’s no good, I’ll take a look in the next few days, I’m busy as making a load of importer improvements so I’ll test these with vBulletin 3 at the same time.

Also this reported in this topic also, so maybe subscribe to that topic also in case I write omething there and forget here 😉

import from vbulletin3 and no replies

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 6 months ago]

Grab this custom plugin from here https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7797990

You will need to change one part of it though:

From:

		// Span
		'span'             => array(
			'class'     => true,
		),

To:

		// Span
		'span'             => array(
			'class'     => true,
			'style'     => true,
		),

That will then modify the allowed tag span to also include style inside the span.

We don’t have breadcrumbs for user profiles, not something I’ve ever thought of until now 😉

I’ve made a note of this and will take a look at what we can do here for user profile breadcrumbs 🙂

Here is a screenshot of the search results in the breadcrumb with the Twenty Fourteen theme:

Create a page or two and use the bbPress shortcodes

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 6 months ago]

That is up to the the forum software you choose to use, all our source code is open source and any forum software package is free to create an import tool to import from bbPress, we do the same, we import from many forum packages but it is up to each application to add support if they want new customers to be able to import from bbPress, I know a few of the common ones do.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 6 months ago]

You would need to go to bbPress settings and uncheck ‘auto role’ as when a user logs in they are automatically given the role set in this setting.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 6 months ago]

I just had a play with this and you are correct, it works for administrators/keymasters but not standard ‘participants’ or ‘anonymous’ users.

Grab this custom KSES plugin I have here https://gist.github.com/ntwb/7797990

I just added class to to the pre section as that is where the issue is, pre is allowed but <pre class="whatever"> is not.

Double check any of the other allowed tags and/or remove ones you don’t want/need.

Edit: I just double checked against the default bbPress allowed tags and all are there, you may or may not want the table sections, up to you. I also made a note to add class as an allowed tag of pre for bbPress core, I can’t think of a reason for us not to add this by default.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 6 months ago]

I cannot reproduce this issue with bbPress 2.5.4 and WooSidebars 1.3.1

For example replacing the ‘Primary Sidebar’ with a new WooSidebar for the bbPress ‘Topic Archive’ and ‘Each individual topic’.

Typically issues where people have had issue with ‘the_title’ usually revolves around a theme issue, try using the same configuration you were trying but test it with the Twenty Fourteen theme.

Anything else to help reproduce the issues you posted I’m more than happy to take a look but will need some detailed reproduction steps so I can see what your seing.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 6 months ago]

I added support for the anonymous/deleted phpBB user topics and replies, just finalizing all of this for the any other forums that also have this feature, SMF, Drupal, Vanilla.

For the redirects I need to find a workaround to have WordPress correctly verify that viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9 is a valid URL, if we can do that then redirects could be included for imported forums and that would be awesome.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 6 months ago]

@leonyipa Don’t get you bb’s confused, what you wrote way up there and quoted here:

And I paste the code into: /public_html/wp-content/themes/bp-default/functions.php

That is the BuddyPress Theme ‘BP Default’, nothing to do with bbPress so make sure you are updating the correct files 😉

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 6 months ago]

This is just a warning notice, not so much a functional error, due to the amount of roles you have which is combined by WordPress, bbPress, Shop and S2 Member the query is over 1540 charatacters in length (1547 to be exact)

You should contact your webhost for the best advice guidance on what MySQL settings they have configured for your hosting setup, they may have an option to increase this number for you.

(Apologies, your topic was originally caught by Akismet as spam)

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 6 months ago]

Make sure you do not have any conflicts with either your theme or any other plugins:

Switch your theme to the Twenty Fourteen theme and test again, does it work now?

Deactivate all your plugins except bbPress, does it work now? If yes start reactivating each plugin until you find the conflicting plugin that causes it to stop working.

Ooops, missed the 2.3.2 😉

I should have said in my previous reply, any conflicting permalinks ‘except’ a page titled forums, indeed using a page titled forums with a shortcode should work just fine.

As you have changed the slug on that conflicting page now could you try creating a new page forums and adding whatever shortcode your using to it, what happens?

Note: I’m splitting this topic to it’s own also as this is a different issue from the original topic.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 6 months ago]

Oh…. And you should also be able to map the Anonymous/Deleted phpBB users topics and replies also via those same mappings, I’ve just finished adding support for this with phpBB and bbPress around an hour ago.

I’ll come back tomorrow and show you the SQL query for that, for now it’s late here and I’m done for the night, anything else I will look at tomorrow 🙂

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 6 months ago]

You wrote in your previous post:

Sure thing, I’ll see what I can dig out. I’m going to be running the import a few more times over the coming weeks anyway because I need to make sure that I have the process down to a t before we decide to go live.

Does this mean you have now gone live and a ‘few more imports’ has already happened and ‘coming weeks’ is time flies when having fun?

You should find in your wp_postmeta table primarily two reference meta keys, _bbp_old_forum_id and _bbp_old_topic_id

In the case below the new forum ID in wp_posts is 8789 for the old phpBB forum ID 53 and the new topic id in in wp_posts is 8803 for the old phpBB topic id 25743

meta_id	post_id	meta_key	        meta_value	
57514	8789	_bbp_old_forum_id	53
57626	8803	_bbp_old_topic_id	25743

With the above data in hand you should be able to map all your old phpBB forums and topic ID’s to the new bbPress forum and topic ID’s.

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 6 months ago]

@pplumridge I can’t see how any of the differences in code from 2.5.3 to 2.5.4 could have broken this.

Any chance it’s a permalink conflict? Do you have any posts, pages, maybe even forums or topics using forums as the slug? (Also check the ‘trash’ folders to make sure the post/page isn’t there)

[@netweb Keymaster 10 years, 6 months ago]

The current phpBB importer only imports ‘extra’ user fields from the phpbb_users table.

The following custom profile fields are what is currently imported, we store these in wp_usermeta

		// Store ICQ (Stored in usermeta)
			'from_fieldname' => 'user_icq',
		// Store MSN (Stored in usermeta)
			'from_fieldname' => 'user_msnm',
		// Store Jabber
			'from_fieldname' => 'user_jabber',
		// Store Occupation (Stored in usermeta)
			'from_fieldname' => 'user_occ',
		// Store Interests (Stored in usermeta)
			'from_fieldname' => 'user_interests',
		// Store Signature (Stored in usermeta)
			'from_fieldname' => 'user_sig',
		// Store Location (Stored in usermeta)
			'from_fieldname' => 'user_from',
		// Store Avatar Filename (Stored in usermeta)
			'from_fieldname' => 'user_avatar',

The current implementation needs to explicitly named fields to import them, so having the import support custom named fields is not available to be used at this time, one day hopefully.

With that said, with a list of fields names and the tables the fields are stored in these can easily be added to a customized phpBB importer.

As to where to send these fields, if you are using BuddyPress, XProfile would be the ideal place to have these. Our importer doesn’t handle this though, again, maybe one day we can add something in BuddyPress to import ‘extra’ profile fields from bbPress. Probably the key thing here is we can get all your phpBB profile fields imported into wp_usermeta and then with a bit of MySQL these could be copied over to the BuddyPress XProfile table and everything would be awesome. 🙂

EDIT: As all I’ve been doing the past ~5 days is working on the importers we do actually store the old phpBB user_id so mapping the old users after an import back to the old phpBB database should also not be an issue once bbPress 2.6 is released 🙂
