All working in bbPress 1.0.2

[agl666]

I’ve done like you explained.

First, I’ve exported all IDs into Excel, then fill out new IDs (exactly bigger than can be in WPMU base – starting from 10000), then I searched for duplicate emails in wp_users and bb_users, exported to Excel and changed new_IDs of duplicated users to IDs_from_WPMU (something like that .

Then i’ve created array $old=>$new

$change=array(

1=>10001,2=>10002,3=>10003,5=>10004,7=>10005,8=>10006,10=>10007,11=>10008,12=>10009,13=>10010,14=>10011,15=>10012,16=>10013,17=>10014,18=>10015,19=>10016,20=>10017,21=>10018,22=>10019,23=>10020,24=>10021,25=>10022,26=>10023,27=>10024,28=>10025,29=>10026,30=>10027,31=>10028,32=>10029,33=>10030,34=>10031,35=>10032,36=>10033,37=>10034,38=>10035,39=>10036,40=>10037,41=>10038,43=>10039,44=>10040,46=>10041,47=>10042,48=>10043,49=>10044,50=>10045,51=>10046,52=>10047,53=>10048,54=>10049,55=>10050,56=>10051,57=>10052,58=>10053,59=>10054,60=>10055,61=>10056,62=>10057,63=>10058,64=>10059,65=>10060,66=>10061,67=>10062,68=>10063,69=>10064,70=>10065,71=>10066,72=>10067,73=>10068,74=>10069,75=>10070,76=>10071,77=>10072,78=>10073,82=>10074,83=>10075,86=>10076,89=>10077,92=>10078,94=>10079,95=>10080,97=>10081,99=>10082,100=>10083,101=>10084,102=>10085,103=>10086,105=>10087,106=>10088,107=>10089,109=>10090,110=>10091,111=>10092,113=>10093,114=>10094,115=>10095,116=>10096,117=>10097,118=>10098,119=>10099,121=>10100,122=>10101,123=>10102,124=>10103,125=>10104,126=>10105,667=>10106,669=>10107,670=>10108,671=>10109,672=>10110,673=>10111,675=>10112,676=>10113,678=>10114,679=>10115,680=>10116,681=>10117,682=>10118,683=>10119,684=>10120,685=>10121,686=>10122,687=>10123,688=>10124,689=>10125,690=>10126,691=>10127,692=>10128,693=>10129,695=>10130,696=>10131,697=>10132,698=>10133,699=>10134,700=>10135,701=>10136,702=>10137,703=>10138,704=>10139,705=>10140,706=>10141,707=>10142,708=>10143,710=>10144,711=>10145,712=>10146,713=>10147,715=>10148,716=>10149,717=>10150,718=>10151,719=>10152,720=>10153,721=>10154,722=>10155,723=>10156,724=>10157,726=>10158,727=>10159,728=>10160,729=>10161,730=>10162,731=>10163,732=>10164,733=>10165,734=>10166,735=>10167,736=>10168,739=>10169,740=>10170,741=>10171,742=>10172,743=>10173,744=>10174,745=>10175,746=>10176,747=>10177,748=>10178,750=>10179,751=>10180,752=>10181,753=>10182,755=>10183,756=>10184,759=>10185,761=>10186,762=>10187,763=>10188,767=>10189,769=>10190,771=>10191,772=>10192,773=>10193,774=>10194,775=>10195,776=>10196,777=>10197,779=>10198,780=>10199,794=>10200,795=>10201,796=>10202,797=>10203,798=>10204,799=>10205,801=>10206,803=>10207,810=>10208,811=>10209,815=>10210,837=>10211,842=>10212,847=>10213,848=>10214,857=>10215,861=>10216,871=>10217,872=>10218,880=>10219,905=>10220,926=>10221,936=>10222,937=>10223,943=>10224,944=>10225,955=>10226,961=>10227,962=>10228,964=>10229,965=>10230,967=>10231,968=>10232,969=>10233,972=>10234,973=>10235,974=>10236,976=>10237,977=>10238,978=>10239,979=>10240,980=>10241,981=>10242,982=>10243,983=>10244,985=>10245,987=>10246,988=>10247,993=>10248,994=>10249,996=>10250,997=>10251,998=>10252,999=>10253,1000=>10254,1001=>10255,1002=>10256,1003=>10257,1008=>10258,1011=>10259,1018=>10260,1019=>10261,1021=>10262,1024=>10263,1061=>10264,1062=>10265,1063=>10266,1064=>10267,1065=>10268,1073=>10269,1074=>10270,1076=>10271,1077=>10272,1078=>10273,1090=>10274,1091=>10275,1092=>10276,1093=>10277,1094=>10278,1096=>10279,1097=>10280,1098=>10281,1099=>10282,1101=>10283,1102=>10284,1103=>10285,1104=>10286,1128=>10287,1129=>10288,1130=>10289,1131=>10290,1132=>10291,1133=>10292,1135=>10293,1136=>10294,1137=>10295,1138=>10296,1139=>10297,1140=>10298,1143=>10299,1144=>10300,1145=>10301,1212=>10302,1408=>10303,1410=>10304,1412=>10305,1413=>10306,1415=>10307,1416=>10308,1417=>10309,1418=>10310,1419=>10311,1420=>10312,1421=>10313,1422=>10314,1423=>10315,1424=>10316,1425=>10317,1426=>10318,1427=>10319,1428=>10320,1429=>10321,1430=>10322,1431=>10323,1432=>10324,1433=>10325,1434=>10326,1435=>10327,1436=>10328,1437=>10329,1438=>10330,1439=>10331,1440=>10332,1441=>10333,1442=>10334,1443=>10335,1444=>10336,1445=>10337,1446=>10338,1447=>10339,1448=>10340,1449=>10341,1450=>10342,

And, finally, export bb_users and import it to wp_users.

Use “Complete inserts” and REPLACE or UPDATE instead of INSERT, otherwise you will get 1) incomplete query (cause wp_users have 2-3 additional columns) 2)”duplicatу key” error

Hi All,

I am back on to bbPress and have decided to work at configuring my forum. I have read through the bbPress forum and blog but have not found a post regarding the best plugins. What are the top 5-10 plugins you would recommend to make the forum work efficiently. I know it depends on what you are trying to do, but there has to be a list with the best add on’s.

So far I have added the following:

• Bozo Users – Allows moderators to mark certain users as a “bozo”. Bozo users can post, but their content is only visible to themselves.
• Post Notification – Sends an Notification email if there’s a new post to an favorite topic.

  This plugin has some bugs.

• Simple Google Adsense
• Akismet

Also, is there a plugin / widget for WordPress that shows the activity on the forum?

Thanks for helping. I am looking forward to making bbPress a workable tool on my blog.

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

What bbpress really needs is it’s “SANDBOX” theme. This was the groundbreaking wordpress theme that really took the platform to another level by giving themers a “clean slate” on which to work.

I recently updated Sandbox for wp 2.9 (http://selfevidenthotdogs.com/sandbox/) and have a mind to create something similar for bbpress. This will take some time, I’m no genius.

If someone else is working on this already, please let me know, we can work together on it.

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

Yes sorry, I should have explained more.

I just did something similar with a single install of wp.

Keep in mind that when you use wp for user data, it will use all the ids in the wp_users table. When you click the option to use that db for user data, it doesn’t merge anything at all! So for example, if one user has an id of 5 in bbpress, when you use the wp db for user data whoever is 5 in that db suddenly gets the bbpress guy’s data.

So! To get your data into shape, what you need to do is map the bbpress guys to the wp guys. So 5 in wp should be the same guy in bbpress. You might need to change the id of that user in the bbpress db.

Also! there is a bbpress user metadata table, so be sure to change the id there, too.

This is how I tackled it. There might be an easier way, or some tool, but if there is, I couldn’t find it. I just did some SQL on the db directly to get it structured as I needed it, then turned on integration.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Per https://wordpress.org/support/topic/350806 he wants a plugin that uploads for both bbPress and WordPress.

[citizenkeith]

Update: It does seem to be my theme. When I switch to Kakumei, I don’t have the problem.

I’m using a modified version of Misty for bbPress. I’ve been using pretty much the “stock” theme, aside from some CSS tweaks. Yesterday, I removed the javascript in header.php but it didn’t change anything (I thought it might be causing a conflict somewhere).

http://mundoarroba.wordpress.com/2007/05/24/theme-misty-para-bbpress/

[derek7]

I have bbpress with wordpress integration.

I noteiced that if i log in from wordpress ad administrator, then if i click on Administration in bbpress e get redirected to the forum’s main page.

Instead if i login on bbpress form, e can get to the bbpress’s administration page.

Is this a bug!?

thanks!

[Buzzby B]

bbPress ver 1.0.2

Post Notification ver 1.3 and 1.4 (tried both)

Wordpress 2.7

Godaddy hosting

complete error is:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 451 See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html.

in ***Forummy-pluginspost-notificationnotification.php on line 23

which seems to be indicating a LF error. No mail gets sent. RSS feed is working. WordPress mail is working.

Anyone else seen this or have an answer?

Thanks!

Since BBpress 0.9’s release almost 2 years ago, we’ve had 5 different WordPress releases. My question here is, which versions of BBpress work with which versions of WordPress?

We dont mention it anywhere (crazy), and far too often the phrase “latest version of bbpress/wordpress” is used in the forum. I know we cant have documentation or change the static pages on this website, or post an HTML table in these forums, so I apologise for the long list:

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I’ll add in

4) Ability to sort posts per bbPress category, based on WP category

(example: I post a blog post to News and that gets posted to the bbPress category News).

[Michael]

bbPress does have support for Pretty Permalinks, which are SEO friendly. Just go to your admin panel > settings > permalinks. You can change it there.

Simple:Press is developed externally – so more effort has been put into bbPress to make sure it integrates properly with WordPress.

[Kamil_D]

Thanks guys,

Yes, i like bbPress. At First I tried it with the Simple:Press forum plugin for wordpress and it did work well. But the Simple:Press plugin has two downsides, There are a lot of functions and therefore, it is very big. Plus it is very slow. While bbPress is “Simple, fast, elegant”. And this is definitely the reason why I choose bbPress. I am happy with everything except the lack of a simple possibility to add pictures and the SEO friendliness. It would be better for instance if it was combinable with a SEO plugin to change the forum links. What I also see, bbpres has problem to be indexed in Google, the indexing is very slowly. While Simple:Press plugin is much more faster get indexed in google. I don’t know, maybe it’s because of that simple:press is plugin of wordpress.

I have read that bbPress wil be in the future also a wordpress plugin (canonical). I am wondering about it.

[agl666]

thanks, i had thoughts about it, but hoped that someone already had had that problem and solved

[chrishajer]

I think conceptually you’re going to need to renumber some members, and then change all the places where their old ID was being used, to the new ID.

[chrishajer]

The odd redirect thing is not really, it looks normal to me. When you try to access bb-admin directly, and you’re not logged in, you get redirected to bb-login.php, with the query string ?re= redirecting you to where you initially wanted to go. It works like that in WordPress too.

Try accessing wp-admin on the same site without being logged in:

http://www.londonmuscle.com/blog/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://www.londonmuscle.com/blog/wp-admin/

[chrishajer]

Yes, install WordPress first, then install bbPress and follow the instructions for integration. I think these are probably the most recent good instructions on integration:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-integration-coockie-does-not-work#post-61969

[Chancer]

I am starting a new site which I am wanting to use this with the wordpress. I would like to have it set up very simular to what you have here. How do I do that?

Do I first get the wordpress as the main part of the site and than use this for the forums? and how do I get them to interrogated with each other

[nickaster]

This looks hugely useful…. but two ideas to make it more useful:

1) If it’s based on RSS, you could conceivably pull other blogs in.

2) It would be cool to have a switch where an admin could choose to pull posts in or not, based on categories or something like that

3) Some way to let people know that a discussion has been spawned in the forum indicated on the original post…

[london-muscle]

Hi guys,

Got a bit of a problem. Installed bbpress integrated it into wordpress got all the bits right so it uses my wordpress database and wordpress logins etc and thats all fine and dandy but none of my pages load.

I can only get to my bb-admin pages but only by going to the direct section say “appearance” I get a page 404 error when I go to http://www.londonmuscle.com/blog/forum/ or http://www.londonmuscle.com/blog/forum/bb-admin/

I havent actually done anything but follow the bb press install instructions so wondered why its not working.

Anyone able to help, Really need to get it sorted asap as this is quite a big part of our business.

Regards,

Chris

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

… something very similar to the way wordpress works now.

Does such a function/plugin exist for bbpress?

If so, I can’t find it. If you know of one, please point it out to me.

[agl666]

but duplicates, owing some content! for example, if ceronimo of WPMU (ID# 23) have comments in WPMU and ceronimo of bbPress (ID# 333) have topics in bbPress, what to do then?

[Hard Seat Sleeper]

Yes, remove the duplicates.

[bingsterloot]

ah ok i see paul…..that actually sounds VERY cool. But would you be able to pull the whole post or how does it work.

I am looking forward to see what you come up with.

[paulhawke]

@bingsterloot – you are quite correct, no need to reinvent the wheel. Your plugin looks good! For someone synchronizing with their own WordPress, your plugin looks like the perfect solution.

That said, the “Rss Poster Bot” is still something I will pursue as it will allow me to draw on news/posts from a variety of other sources so long as I have a feed. Think of it this way:

1. a post is made to your favourite news web site
2. the “Rss Poster Bot” pulls the feed and sees a new item
3. the bot now makes a post to your bbPress forum, starting a topic
4. local users are able discuss that news item

I’ll give it a shot in my spare time and see how it turns out.
