I’m well beyond the docs you referenced. I have the Vanilla 2 importer working, but there is a couple things I’m trying to correct. 1) I would like to filter the users to confirmed only, but the filter expression doesn’t apply. I’ve tried including the where conditions as a from_expression as well as putting them both in the join_expression. It just doesn’t look like the converter is referencing my filter.
` $this->field_map[] = array(
‘from_tablename’ => ‘User’,
‘from_fieldname’ => ‘UserID’,
‘from_expression’ => ‘WHERE User.Deleted = 0’,
‘join_tablename’ => ‘UserRole’,
‘join_type’ => ‘INNER’,
‘join_expression’ => ‘USING (UserID) WHERE UserRole.RoleID != 3’,
‘to_type’ => ‘user’,
‘to_fieldname’ => ‘_bbp_user_id’
);`
2) I would like to import all users as “Participants”, but all users come into the system with no bbPress role selected.
What do you want to know?
There is no need to reverse engineer anything, just grab the latest copy of Example.php either from /bbpress/includes/admin/converters/ or the latest updated version I am working on here and start modifying the table mappings as per the docs in the codex.

I’m working on adding a Vanilla Forums 2 converter to the bbPress Import package. Are there any developers out there that can answer a couple questions for me about how the converter engine works? I can reverse engineer it, but takes a lot more time than chatting with the guy/gal that wrote it. Thanks!
Yes, bbPress includes an importer to convert your Invision (IPB) forums and users to bbPress.

No.
That is less than one sentence, bbPress requires WordPress as everything bbPress is stored within WordPress’ database tables, it does not use its own database tables for anything including user login, registration and management.
You don’t need to show WordPress ‘blog’ pages on the homepage and you can make bbPress the ‘homepage’ essential a page on your current site.
You would have to look at how you could integrate single sign on for your current users with WordPress.
@noumaan I just tested this and everything works as expected with a WordPress user with the WP role ‘Subscriber’ and bbPress role ‘Keymaster’
These following are the only admin panels available/visible in the WP admin dashboard:
- Home – Right now in forums (stats)
- bbPress Forums, Topics and Replies panels
- Profile (Edit own profile)
- Tools -> Forums (Repair, Import & Reset bbPress tools)
- Settings -> Forums (Main bbPress settings)
I recently setup the bbpress plugin on my site – finally transitioning from the standalone code.
I have a dev site where I prepared everything and it all works perfectly.
When I transitioned everything to my live site it all looks ok – but neither myself, or my users, can post replies or new topics.
My site is here: http://prothemedesign.com/forums/
Since it all works on the dev server (which is a sub domain running from the same server) then everything should match up and work just fine.
I’m having a bit of an issue with bbPress and WPML. For some reason it loads every single wordpress post ever created under the actual forum.
See: http://www.touhou.si/forums/forum/testingissoawesome/
Has anyone seen anything like that before?
Can we get some styling documentation for this? I love the theme and I’ve been able to easily make some changes, but it’s unclear what I need to edit to adjust some finer details.
For example, I can’t find what I need to edit in the stylesheet in order to place a simple line dividing each of the forums on the main page. It seems like all the elements that would allow me to do that have been hidden, but there’s not enough help for me to be sure.
Also, when viewing a single category’s forums, the styling and functions seem to have a serious breakdown.

Do I need to edit the stylesheet, functions, or both to remedy this issue?
Thanks again for the theme! It’s been a huge help so far!
Hey guys,
I’m here to find a forum that I can integrate in a website I develop in my free time (http://www.carspending.com/). I need absolutely minimalistic forum software with i18n support and basically that’s most of it. But I’m not interested in WordPress, for now.
So, in one sentence – is it possible to integrate bbPress and create single sign-on, without WordPress at all? Have someone done it? Are there tutorials on the sign system of bbpress?
So far the quotes plugin works amazing.
For the unread posts and the post rating plugin, i’m getting this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bbpress() in…
Any idea how to fix this? (I will donate to the cause.. glad to see someone putting out new plugins to make bbpress more like a normal forum).
The link in first message give 404.
I read this entire thread and I am still unclear about this. On my site, I am trying to make a user Keymaster. The user’s WordPress role is subscriber and I want them to have the forum role of the keymaster. The problem is that the user can not see Forums menu item on their dashboard and can not perform keymaster actions. So how do we make someone a keymaster without giving them access to administration of the whole site?
Thanks @netweb, that looks promising!
Hi,
Setting up a WordPress membership site with bbPress. All is well except this site uses an external program for membership control and all email and password changes must be done in the external program.
I noticed that bbPress allows a user to edit their WP profile. I need to block this. I don’t need a forum program to give a user the ability to change their WP profile. Any help on how to remove the “Edit” link from the profile page would be greatly appreciated.
I have updated Mingle.php over in trac here with what I hope should fix things up.
Let me know what other issues you have found that we might be able to improve upon also.
Is there a way to convert IPB into bbpress?
This is bbPress here, you want to ask BuddyPress questions over here 🙂

Have a look at a few of these plugins and see if one of them will suit your needs.

Take a look at the freshly released bbPress Post Ratings plugin that @sadr mentions here.
Introducing plugins for Quotes, Ratings and Unread Posts
Thanks for trying to solve that. I was just going to let it go but it’s turning into a problem when I try to make use of the “bbPress Topic Thumbnails” plugin which attempts to find the image in that first post only and does not look further. At least new posts will not be an issue but it sure would be nice to have the rest discovered.
I saw some discusses about the usage of Latex in bbpress. I guess maybe the easiest way to enable Latex in bbpress is to use Mathjax.
Put the following script code into the block of the header.php in the theme. This will load the latest version of MathJax from the distributed server, and configure it to recognize mathematics in both TeX and MathML notation. For details, refer to http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/start.html#mathjax-cdn and http://www.ouruniv.com/topic.php?id=4
script
type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML”>
script
The above script is not the exactly one. The shape bracket is omitted since the code won’t be displayed with it. You could copy the right one at http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/start.html#mathjax-cdn

I do not why the script above is not displayed.
I’m putting together a forum site for a group of sailboat owners. We currently are using a Yahoo Group to share ideas/ask questions, etc., but it is difficult to search. What we LIKE about Yahoo is that we can choose to receive an email for each new topic post AND Reply, or we can receive a daily or weekly digest. Most of us use the daily digest since we are out in the islands cruising and bandwidth is difficult to come by. Many of us actually use a Single Side Band radio with a Pactor modem and a program called SailMail that allows us to send/receive text emails at very slow speed (300-19200 Baud!!). I can’t find a plug-in that can provide email notification like Yahoo does. Any suggestions? I’ve set up bbPress with BuddyPress, but we don’t use the group feature in BP.
Thanks,

Thank you for these wonderful plugins and kudos to destroflyer.
I have a quick bug report about bbPress Direct Quote in that the citation link is for jmonkeyengine. Obviously it should be pulling the data from our sites.
