OK, if you are lucky and the server isn’t dead as it usually is, you may get it here.

Remember, no guarantees. I hadn’t even read php before messing with that script.

FYI, I modified the plug-in slightly to prevent moderators from messing with other forums they are not assigned to by this plug-in in bbpress version 0.8.

changed function forum_moderators_process_capacities in forum-moderators.php, added some additional filters:

$filtering_caps = array(

'manage_topics' ,

'edit_closed' ,

'edit_deleted' ,

'browse_deleted' ,

'edit_others_tags' ,

'edit_others_topics' ,

'manage_posts' ,

'ignore_edit_lock' ,

'edit_others_posts',

'delete_posts',

'delete_topics',

'close_topics',

'stick_topics',

'move_topics',

'moderate'

);

added filters:

delete_topics’,

‘close_topics’,

‘stick_topics’,

‘move_topics’,

‘moderate

don’t know exactly what I’m doing but that hacked seemed to do what I want.

Is there a vanilla to phpbb deal? That seems like the easiest way to go…

the bbPress folks ought to consider hiring a team member or somebody to just work on importers. Without them it makes getting people to make the move just that much harder.

I am currently having a problem where when I log in to wordpress (or bbpress) at url:myurl.com, then click a link that is directed to http://www.myurl.com, then I am no longer logged in. (Cookie issues). I am trying to figure out how to define either *.babyquestions101.com (preferably), or if that won’t work then babyquestions101.com AND http://www.babyquestions101.com.

Give it a shot here:

http://babyquestions101.com/

and the forum is here:

http://babyquestions101.com/forum/

PLEASE CREATE ANY ACCOUNTS WITH THE WORD “TEST” AND ANOTHER WORD/NAME IN THE ACCOUNT NAME, unless of course you intend on keeping the account.

UPDATE:

My wordpress options blog url (in the wordpress admin panel) is listed WITH the “www” in front of the domain.. I am digging into mod_rewrite directives, but to be honest, I’m not really grasping it. Right when I think I have it figured out, it throws me. I have been able to get requests going to http://babyquestions101.com to redirect to http://www.babyquestions101.com/ using mod_rewrite in the .htaccess files. However, when I try it out in the forums, (http://babyquestions101.com/forum/) it just resolves at that address, and doesn’t insert the www. Any ideas?

Here’s mine:

a:2:{s:8:”throttle”;b:1;s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}

Mine is in wp_usermeta though since I am integrated (not sure if that matters or not.)

Also, “administrator” is there since I changed /bb-includes/capabilities.php to make the title administrator rather than key master. Did you make a similar change in your capabilities.php?

It’s also possible that this might help you:

Just take a look here https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/30?replies=4 or try the demo here http://www.la-school.com/bbpress/ .. I’m working on this thing! … I’ve just not that much time at the moment, sorry.

Maybe this will help:

In addition to making the change to true in the config, you need to create the rules in an .htaccess file in your server root. Your server needs to support it too.

Certainly.

Marky,

I have the same issue. I want to switch from PHPBB to bbPress and keep the internal links the same. You can try to adjust my plugin for this:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/771

Depending on how the links are right now at PHPBB you may be able to do it.

[marky]

I switched from phpBB to bbPress recently thanks very much in part to a script found in these forums.

Now, many of the existing posts contain links to each other in the old phpBB format /topic.php?t=123. Since the topic IDs have stayed the same in the conversion process, I’d like to use ModRewrite to automatically redirect to the new /topic/123 URL scheme. I’ve tried the following in my .htaccess, but it doesn’t appear to work. (Admittedly, my knowledge of ModRewrite is shaky at best.)

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^/forums/viewtopic.php?t=([0-9]+)$

/forums/topic/$1 [R]

(In the real code there isn’t a linebreak on the second line.)

Does anyone have any advice?

[ebotunes]

Yes, I encountered this problem last night. I had to manually add the topic_resolved field to the bb_topics table then it worked fine.

other than that – superb script – worked a treat – thanks very much!!

I have installed the latest version of bbPress in a sub-directory of my blog ../bb

Links for template pages generally work and so does the link to the admin and presentation, plugins etc.

But the links to Add Topic, Forums etc all just take me back to the blog home page. Is this something to with WordPress Integration which I have somehow messed up?

Any help much appreciated

[Ziyphr]

Just wondering, is anyone is making progress on the new posts front?

I think for many people it could be the #1 reason not to use bbPress, from both a user and developer perspective.

[dcfridge]

I am using Basic-authentication for all of other authentication and access control on my site, and would like to have bbPress detect that and leverage $ENV{‘REMOTE_USER’}

Is this possible? Has anyone done it, that can share the code?

Thanks,

– Dave

[dcfridge]

The installation seemed to go smooth, and I can get to the main admin page, and main forum page, but when I navigate to “edit profile” I get the error below. A very similar error comes up when I try to post…I think it may have something to do with a redirection setting, but not sure.

cre8tive, I’ll try and get up a downloadable zip archive of the theme soon. I’ve just been so busy lately sigh, that I haven’t had much time on the bbPress/WP side of things.. I’ll keep you posted though..

spencerp

[spencerp]

Is this going to get submitted into the SVN trunk for 1.0 soon, or..? I’m really hoping so, all this “applying patches” is getting tiresome and confusing, sigh.

It’s one of the main reasons I haven’t even upgraded my bbPress forums to the latest full .80, with category enhancement, just seems pointless…

spencerp

[spencerp]

Sorry guys/gals.. have just been swamped the past few days/weeks sigh. I’ll try to get on this soon.. Also, I’ll have to setup a brand new forum on the localhost, because currently what I have running now on my forums is using various plugins/enhancements sigh..

I’ll have to do one up, on a plain jane bbPress install, so I know what’s really going to be needed/used and so forth.. I didn’t even get to upgrade my forums to the full .80 release yet sigh.. shoot! I gotta get on things soon!!

I’m currently looking at Vanilla and bbPress, may I ask what you didn’t like about Vanilla, in comparison to bbPress?

[macwise]

Hello,

I need to add a custom page to my forum that acts like any other page, but with custom content I have added. It’s actually going to be a “Contest Status” page, where users can check to see if they have completed the steps necessary to enter the contest, and once they have to track the contest’s progress. I know how to create a custom page in wordpress that just points to:

http://www.myurl.com/chosen-page-name

but I can’t quite wrap my brain around this in bbpress. I want the most elegant, simplest, and most unobtrusive solution I can find. I would love the page to resolve to:

http://www.myurl.com/forum/contest

Is this functionality built in? Is it plugin-able? (I’ve never built a plugin). Is there a simple workaround?

Any tips or information is greatly appreciated.

[M]

1. Under the “Installation” header: “ugrading instructions” – it should be “upgrading.”

2. Under the “Development” header, second paragraph: “bbPress Trac enviroment” – it should be “environment.”

I know to some of you it isn’t a big deal, but there’s nothing worse than having a professional, well-built application being represented by misspellings.

[mirce]

Thanx,

I am not sure that ?page=2 will be followed by search engines. bbPress have a better spiderability then all the other forums and WordPress, it would be a shame to loose so many pages.

[mirce]

I’ve made something similar. It still needs some work. You can see the result at http://www.dfur.com and download the plugin from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/771

This is my first plugin wrote and it needs some more work with the .htaccess rules. The pagination is not yet fixed and if somone could help me please let me know.

Thanx.

Hi,

Mod rewrite rules set up for bbPress are OK and are better then the ones WordPress uses. However some tweaking can be done to make things better.

I’ve tried to put up together a permalinks plugin. I think that I am half way done but I need some help finishing things up.

The plugin can be downloaded from:

http://www.phpdigest.net/

You can take a look to my test site:

http://www.dfur.com (the template is not finished)

The forum link was changed from:

http://www.example.com/forum/forum_id

to

http://www.example.com/forum_name

The topic link was changed from:

http://www.example.com/topic/topic_id

to

http://www.example.com/forum/topic_id

I need help with creating the pagination mod_rewrite rules (page_2 ). Please let me know if anyone can help with setting up new pagination mod_rewrite rules for this page:

http://www.dfur.com/designer_furniture/topic5

Thank you,

Mircea Piturca and Paun Narcis Iulian.

To throw in my two cents… I personally would lean towards “themes.” My reasoning: since one of the biggest parts of bbPress is the WordPress integration, I believe bbPress and WordPress oughta use the same lingo for that. If a template author wants to do matching templates for bb and WordPress he’ll have to have the “Blank Theme” for WordPress and the “Blank Template” for bbPress. To me this adds to the confusion, and since WordPress has been around and people are used to theme, why make them have to learn more lingo?
