Introduce Forum Importer template for use with importing from PunBB v1.4.x (Tested on v1.4.2)

http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/ & ​​http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/punbb

Working: Forums, Topics & Users
Not Working Yet: Categories, Replies, User Passwords & Custom BBCode for Topic & Reply Content

Attached to bbPress Trac Ticket #2379 is the 1st pass patch for PunBB importing into bbPress.

To test the importer download the latest patch from the link above and copy/ftp the file into the /includes/admin/converters/ folder of your bbPress plugin.

I hope to get the remaining outstanding items done ASAP.
(User passwords will be a little trickier and will take a bit more time)

Any feedback and/or testing that you can provide will help me out tremendously.

Cheers,

Stephen 🙂

Now I cannot create any new topics and I could not reply to this topic. I had to create this new account just to be able to reply. Can someone look into my account issue? A bit frustrating that there is no other support options besides these forums but I do understand.

@netweb Thanks! I did try Chrome, FireFox and IE initially and it was the same thing.

Here is my question.

WordPress 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2

I have bbPress and BuddyPress setup on a multisite network with sitewide and group forums. Is it possible to integrate the group forum with a multisite site?

ie.-
XYZ BuddyPress Group = http://mainsite.com/groups/xyz/forum
XYZ Blog = http://xyz.mainsite.com

Can the group forums integrate to the site? So if a post is made on the site it will show back on the group page or if on the group page it will go back to the site?

If that is not possible, is it possible to at least display the group forum data on the subsite with a shortcode or something?

Thanks for any help!

WordPress 3.5.2, bbPress. Under Profile there is a generic image. How do you upload your photo to your profile? And how do I set size/mb limits on the upload?

[SickSquirrelTwo]

I run WordPress 3.5.2 with bbPress and the Members plugin. I need a plugin that sends me email on every post, not just comments

I previously ran phpBB which had this feature, and I need it.

I just had to click 15 separate categories to find a new post, which I didn’t find, even though the author emailed me to say he posted.

Hello,

I installed the bbPress and created 3 different public forums.
These 3 forums are used for medical issues: Nutrition, Physiotherapy and a Pulmonary doctor consultant.
Each forum is managed by a professional for the specific issue. That’s why i created 3 different users in WordPress and changed their permission to “Moderator”, But when each one of them is logged in to the admin,he/she can enter topics or Reply section and change other people content.
Is there a way to associate user to a specific forum where he only manages his own content? In other words, the user doesn’t have access to other forums in the admin and doesn’t have access to edit forums in the website which he is not associated with.
Can s2Member be one solution? if yes, how? i really got lost with the tutorials about that or just couldn’t find a good one.

Thanks,
Nir

Upgrading with WordPress 3.6, admin screens all show this error:
Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/mydomain/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1199

What is the impact?
What is the fix?
Thanks

How deeply integrated is 2.0+ version of BBPress?

Will I be able to use WordPress functions (ie get_post_meta()) in bbpress?

Using wordpress is not overkill. Think of wordpress as an overall operating system where you have registration and login abilities, different roles for different users, spam filters like Wangguard. Then you use bbpress as a plugin for your forum.

How can you not want the user system if you have a forum?

WP is not overkill.

Hi there!

I’m in a bit of a dilemma, here are my circumstances:

1. I want to use bbPress, but as a forum alone – My website is going to be a static homepage and a forum, no more and no less, and i would really hate to use a wordpress to accomplish such a simple task, it would really be an overkill, im not going to use ANY forum of cms, so id really hate to install wordpress ONLY so i can use bbPress, is there any way to get bbPress as a forum alone, not as a plugin?

2. In the homepage, i want there to be two boxes:
Box1 – shows the latest topic from a certain forum(the announcement forum), including the title, and content, number of comments and user that posted it.

Box2 – shows a featured topic. I know there is a plugin for this, im just curios if i could use functions from bbPress, outside of bbPress, as in, in the homepage page, which is not a wordpress page.

So these are my circumstances. What do you think? should i install wordpress JUST so i could use the forum(if so, is there any way to really trim it down? i dont need the users system, comments, pages, posts, etc. Almost everything revolves around the forum)? If not, what are the alternatives?

bbPress is a really great software, and would really want to use it 🙂

Hi guys, im using the latest WP 3.6 + bbPress 2.3.2 + buddypress 1.8

All works fine until you try to either Edit a forum of an existing group (front end) or when creating a new group and then at step 3 adding a forum to this group, when then the page get broken.

The page will remain visible but the header and footer will disappear.

see image below:

I have disabled ALL plugins as well as switched theme to the WordPress / buddypress default one but still the issue remains.

Page end Source code finished without closing this are the last lines:

<form action="http://[domainname]/group1/admin/extras" name="group-settings-form" id="group-settings-form" class="standard-form" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" role="main">

Inspect Elements reports error:
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method ‘sortable’

This was also report on the Buddypress forum:
http://buddypress.org/support/topic/admin-bar-and-footer-broken/

Please help.

I have a forum setup as private, when logged in you can view the forum just fine. But when not logged on and you try to view the forum page /forums/forum/forum-name it takes you to the standard wordpress 404 page. I’ve tried creating that page structure in the page manager but that didn’t seem to work, I created a forums page, a forum page as a child, and a forum-name page as a child. When I tested the page on a logged in user it took me to the forum page but when not logged in the page still takes me to the 404. How can I control this page?

Thanks

I got the same error but i think it is related to the latest version of NextGEN Gallery by Photocrati(http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/wordpress-gallery-plugin/). I deactivated that plugin and the error goes away.

Hi guys, I’m having trouble showing the shortcode for recent posts on my home page after I entered in code to get my recent blog posts to show up on my home page.

Here is the code I used for recent posts:

$args = array( 'numberposts' => 3 );
$lastposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach($lastposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
	<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
	<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

I saw in another topic how to get 10 recent topics on your home page with shortcode, but it didn’t work after the above code. Could someone please help me with the code to get 10 recent topics to appear on my home page?

Using the current versions of wordpress, bbpress and buddypress. Working with a buddypress default child theme. I’m also newer to php, so go easy please 🙂

@johnjamesjacoby awesome.

thanks BBPress for such a well designed and useful plugin !!

I’m having an issue with bbpress. I’m not sure why this has started, but when the bbPress plugin is active, these two lines of text appear at the top of the screen when viewing the Dashboard and/or the website pages:

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /data/15/2/29/3/2518166/user/2758606/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/common/functions.php on line 1199

We’ve updated our WordPress to version 3.5.2 and also updated bbPress to 2.3.2. We ran several other updates at the same time, and then the forums function stopped working.

Any ideas of how I can fix this?
