Hello everyone!

I have released the RC 1 of WordPress to bbPress Converter Script. What it does is migrates all your users, converts categories to forums, articles to topics and comments to posts. Currently, it just doesn’t change image shortcodes to image urls and doesn’t preserve the forum hierarchy.

To use it, download it, put it on your server, edit the script and change the options to appropriate values before the Stop Editing Here part.

I am soon planning to release a bbPress standalone to plugin converter script if someone doesn’t beat me to it.

Thanks!

I am totally new to this and need some help to set up localhost to try out bbpress.

I have both xampp and bbPress on my PC but have no idea as to what to do next.

Any simplified help for a non techie ?

[logicynic]

I’ve tried all that already actually (copying the data between the two config files and setting up “bbPress integration” plugin).

Thanks for the suggestions though.

Does this mean you’ve managed to get it working successfully with WordPress 3.1.1?

I only see:

“Oh dear!

bbPress is already installed.

Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?”

And when I look at your website, your forums seem to be running fine.

my wpmu is conviced that

mydomain.com/forums is someone who wants to register with my domain. I added forums in the site admin -> options -> exclude the following names. However, this is only causing this message:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /Users/mynick/Sites/wp-content/themes/home/header.php:5) in /Users/mynick/Sites/wp-signup.php on line 347

anyidea anyone!?!?!?

They were working fine up until i added

require_once(“../wp-config.php”)

I installed bbpress the other day, I then found that when i tried to edit the theme I got error messages, so I reuploaded bbpress, and now i’ve got error messages at the top, http://technomaniacs.co.uk/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php, take a look for yourself. The code is in white at the top so you’ll have to highlight it to read it. Also, when i installed the first time i think these error messages where there then.

How do i fix this?

thanks

So I have a fresh install of WordPress and bbPress(latest stable versions)

Integration is perfect! Admin can login and out on both sides with the same login. Can post, etc etc.

I created another user to test the role map. I changed the Subscriber/Inactive role in WP to Contributor/Member. Still it did not change in bbPress.

…I had hoped zaerl was right about it being BuddyPress. It apparently is not BuddyPress causing the problem. Can anyone help?

So I started from scratch, and it seems they were never working. I don’t understand how Buddypress can defunk the role mapping? I don’t even really know if thats what the issue is. I’m going to start over again and do it without buddypress.

I only wanted Buddypress for the rich profiles and activity stream.

I had that issue, and I had to manually paste the data between the config.php files. >.> Also, integrating the two well after actually installation was something I had to do aswell.

And there is a plugin you should look for in WP, it’s called “bbPress integration” and it tells you whats needed in your config file to share cookies.

The problem with the Global-Forum plugin, is not everyone has the spare cash.

Hi,

I’m trying to integrate bbPress 1.03 into WordPress 3.1.1. I’ve followed all the instructions but I can’t seem to get the cookie integration to work. Before I hack away at it I thought it would be worth asking whether this is a known issue?

Thanks.

Where have you put the script? Put it in the root and also check if /forums2/bb-load.php exists.

[web2m]

Hi Gautam, I have the converter installed, but have a quick question for you.

My wordpress is in the root directory, my bbpress forums are in

http://www.sitename.com/forums2

Here is the part of your code:

define( ‘W2BC_WP_PATH’, ” ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

define( ‘W2BC_BB_PATH’, ‘/forums2/’ ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

define( ‘W2BC_CONVERT_PINGBACKS’, true ); /** Convert pingacks too? true or false */

*** Continue my question ***

I keep getting “bbPress loader file (bb-load.php) doesn’t exist in the path specified!”

I have tried defining the w2bc_bb_path to ./forums2/ I have left it as the default like you had it and I have tried it as it is in the example above … it still tells me the path doesn’t exist

Could you let me know what path I need to define, if my forums are located at

http://www.sitename.com (this is where wordpress is installed)

http://www.sitename.com/forums2 (this is where my bbpress is installed)

Thank you again for the help and for the file. I am hoping I can get it to work:-)

[web2m]

Awesome, thank you very much Gautam for your help!

Hey all.

Due to outdated, slow, failing and not working WYSIWYG plugins, i wanted to create a new version.

The goals:

-Let TinyMCE work on all post pages (100% already )

-Add new button which adds the [video] tag for youtube and a few more video sites. (0% since i havent treid it yet.)

-Turn TinyWYSIWYG off or on. (75% because i can hide it, but then it says no text is submitted. But quick fix: write in html, then turn Tinymce on and submit. It works as html, but a little iritating to do this way.)

Features:

-Can be easily updated, source is TinyMCE’s.

-Good experience, and loads of things work, like ,<span>

-Has easy UI same as MS Office 2007.

So any volunteers to help out the small things and make this as a plugin.

Note: The [video] PHP coding part is ready, needs to add button which wraps the [video]url-of-video[/video]

The video part will be a lose part too.

[silasje1]

i am making the plugin better and better now But tomorow (utc +1) morning i will try to create a fast first build with notes, on how too install.

What is needed before the first WYSIWYG TinyMCE release for bbpress:

-Somebody who can make it a plug-in, i have the pieces of codes which should be added to let it work.

-Adding a new button for the [video] tag whch i use. I want to release that too aftwards and include it to this version.

-Clean-up code, since it is untouched code from their website.

-Now uses no-jquery, but dont know if it is handy.

Hope some people want to help

I will make a demo soon, but you can register @ forum.fstube.org or fstube.org/forums .
