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!

[_ck_]

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

[_ck_]

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

[Andrea.Dintino]

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!

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!

[folindo]

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 ??

[psycheangels]

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)

[kevinjohngallagher]

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

[Abdessamad Idrissi]

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!

[Abdessamad Idrissi]

thank you guys,

@psycheangels

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.

[kevinjohngallagher]

You need to run a recount from your admin section, sometimes this happens.

Hi,

My bbpress post counter showing post in negative figures as shown below:

Browse recently updated forum topics:

1,181 users have made -54 posts!

how to fix it…?

Best Regards

[kevinjohngallagher]

Well, I’m not sure where to report this, but I found a bug with bbpress deep integration with wordpress when the wp-super cache wordpress plugin is installed and activated.

bbpress deep integration is not supported, so I’d report this to the WordPress Plugin Developer, and hopefully they’ll add something to the FAQ

[Greg]

I use WPSC with bbPress deep integration, but as mr_pelle suggested I exclude the forum URL from caching.

[mr_pelle]

I had problems with it too: I had to set WP Super Cache to HALF ON or to add forum URL to Rejected URIs list…

Page links for 0.9

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/page-links-for-bbpress/

For the life of me I can’t remember how I do the labels, I think it’s just a tweak… let me see…

Yeah it’s just a little nasty mini-plugin I wrote, also meant for 0.9, probably would not work as expected in 1.0

I had the same problem with W3 Total Cache.

However, the development version of W3 Total Cache (v0.9) fixed the problem for me on my local install.

Give that a shot!

Hi numediaweb,

first of all thank you for the script: it does everything it promises and it’s easy to use

Non surprisingly it still seems to lack a few feature which are probably very hard to develop: it doesn’t parse the bbcode inside posts (meaning that all the links inside the posts are gone) and it doesn’t convert the attachments…

I hope someone will find the time to implement those, as I believe they’re necessary to properly move a forum from one software to another.

Our forum is here

But thanks again anyway
