Does anyone know how to link bbPress to a JustHost web page using SiteBuilder?
I’ve done that for WP Blog but not bbPress.
Any help will be appreciated.
Many Thanks…
// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for bbPress */
define( ‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘aaadsfgdfgdfgdfgdgd_vb’ );
/** MySQL database username */
define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘aasdfsdfsdfsdfd_222’ );
/** MySQL database password */
define( ‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ’12sdfsdfsdfsdf123′ );
/** MySQL hostname */
define( ‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘aaad.201mb.com’ );
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define( ‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘1212312312312_vb’ );
/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define( ‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ” );
this is it I did the same way as it shown upove change it sometimes
I left the database collate type as it was and change it
with all the change I made I couldn’t get through 
thank aloooooooooot for your help
If you open up bb-config.php in your bbpress directory, you can edit it manually and add the database host setting.
/** MySQL hostname */
define( 'BBDB_HOST', 'localhost' );
Change localhost there to whatever host your hosting company told you to use for the database. You should be able to continue installation from there. You might need to restart the installation.
Sweet as refueled, how long do you think it will be available? I’m hoping it’s going to be free? 
Hey, I’m new too, and i’m about to give it a crack. I’ve used phpBB before, but this looks nice and simple. Wish me luck!
Reminder to whomever is doing the subtle fixes I am seeing, the backtick/code tag is still broken here.
example:
testing code, fixed? <?php if (2>1) {echo "testing";} ?>
you should not see &gt/&lt/&quot or multiple ;;; in the above example.
In fact even outside of backticks there is still a htmlentity encoding problem
The directory is above site root by default but you can put it anywhere if you don’t care about security. The way WP does it is completely insecure on shared servers. Any chmod 777 folder under the webroot is a beautiful target for evil hackers.
A small percentage of people still seem to have problems with the install routine that is supposed to run upon activation and create the table. I had to use a workaround because of a bug with 0.8 and IIs users but that may break it for other people, especially with 1.0
you can try replacing the bb_register_activation_hook line with the conventional line that might finally be working correctly under 1.x
bb_register_plugin_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'bb_attachments_install');
Keep in mind I have not updated bb-attachment in over a year due to a lack of donations, so feel free to write your own. Keep in mind whatever you write will not be compatible/necessary with the eventual version of bbpress that runs as a WP plugin.

The details for connecting to your database are wrong. What details do you have from the host for connecting the the database?
Username
Password
Database name
Database host
those four?
Did you enter the database host when you were installing? The field to enter the host is not visible until you check the “show advanced settings” box in step 2 when you are installing.
Hi,
I’m new to bbpress, but managed to download everything so that the custom bbpress themes work on my site (everything-judo.info). I’ve renamed the bbpress root folder to ‘judo-forum’ and created a my-templates folder within that. It was here that I upload a theme found on the internet.
I’ve checked all the permissions and they seem fine, but I’m still not seeing the custom theme on my admin section.
Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?
Cheers,
Jon
I’m clueless about attatchements from anything to bbPress sadly; but that bbCode plugin works a treat
Kevin: like this one -> https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-lite/faq/
are you aware of a way to handle the attachments?
Numediaweb: thanks a lot for your effort, much appreciated!
I’ve been fighting with phpbb for a few days now, it’s leaking everywhere now and I can’t wait to get rid of it 
Thanks everybody!

..but, thanx for _ck_ an Gautam for their efforts in this plugin and their help making the bbpress community wider!
got problems with this plugin:
it doesn’t create db table automatically
poor eror hadling; it says Faild without further details
missorganized; directory out of site root (wp puts every upload in upload directory with no security problemes)
have an idea of integrating the curent wp attachment sytem (and logic) into bbpress.. it needs only time!
I was going to start my form in vb format but I found this site is it easy to make bbpress form ??
is there step by step installation supject ?
starting from making the domen name up to the end ??
look at page source of this (your forum)
http://forumcine.ma/topic.php?id=126
and search position-
all the post have position-0 that is the problem i got when using the old bbpress converter. ( check post_position table in bb_posts, all 0 or not )
and for forum_slug, active name based permalink in bbpress admin then check your forum thread, error or not. (if your post_slug is empty then all your post will 404 not found if you active name based permalink. not forum_slug)
it doesn’t parse the bbcode inside posts (meaning that all the links inside the posts are gone)
Is the bbcode still present in the bbPress database?
if so, then there are a few bbCode parsers for bbPress availible. I know Matt doesn’t like it, and therefore we are the only forum that won’t support it, but i think it only slows adoption
that’s true: this converter doesn’t deal with attachements, for my forum, i didn’t need attachements that’s why I did’nt try to fix this probeleme, anyway, if I have time, i’ll check this.. another think is the way phpbb3 stores attachements; it crypts file names so instead of “myimage.gif” it stores the file encrypted like “55_5230d911b6e6212b7a55075668053db2” but there will be a way just needs time!
thank you guys,

I checked the database and my forum as well and can’t find any problem either with forum_slug or post_position, if you have this problems, maybe, you are using an old bbpress or phpbb3 installation, it is recommended that you update both your phpbb3 and bbpress installation to the latest versions (as stated in this page title) before proceeding with the convertion.
You need to run a recount from your admin section, sometimes this happens.
