You might be able to use the integration plugins for WP and bbPress prior to the export/import to sync the users first. Then the import would work off the WP users table.

Little duplication, but since this is a sticky post, I thought I would add it here:

It is important to make sure for integration to work that you have the following plugin for sure installed in WordPress and the table prefix (in options of plugin in admin area of WP) correctly installed.

bbpress-integration plugin

This plugin will pull all registrations from bbPress into WordPress as well as make the login integration work properly.

If you have users in WordPress that you want to be able to login to bbPress prior to the integration, it might be worth you while to place the following plugin in your /my-plugins/ directory of bbPress.

wordpress-integration

The first plugin will work for most users, but the second is available if needed.

Thanks,

Trent

Spencer and I got this going. It is important to make sure for integration to work that you have the following plugin for sure installed in WordPress and the table prefix (in options of plugin in admin area of WP) correctly installed.

bbpress-integration plugin

Trent, you’re so awesome!! After talking with Trent on GoogleTalk, he has helped me get this problem squashed! And, I had to slap myself twice, because I didn’t upload the bbPress Integration plugin, to my wp-content/plugins folder…

Thanks again for letting me know that Trent.. as well as the cookiedomain settings you gave above!

What about it doesn’t work? Do you get an error?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Did you install that pluign in bbPress’ my-plugins folder?

What is your Display name set to? (In your WordPress profile)

Let me see if I understand the importation scheme you’re hoping for:

1.) One-time import.

2.) Each forum “section” would be a category in WordPress.

2a.) Should a category not exist, it will be created.

3.) Replies to a topic would be created as comments in a blog entry.

4.) Tags (if any exist) would be dropped.

This is going to be simple if I even decide to possibly tackle this. I don’t use either product in production, but have messed around with both of them. The biggest question I have is about users… Obviously, you’ll have users in the forum that don’t exist in WordPress. Would each user need to be created for wordpress, or would all of the imported entries default to a specified user? This would be the hardest (in my mind) thing to figure out and handle.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

I haven’t seen this WP LDAP plugin, but the answer is probably “no”.

A similar plugin would likely have to be written for bbPress.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

I’m working on a bbPress exporter now. It will probably be included in the next “major” release.

I hadn’t thought about an importer from bb to WP, but I’ll see what’s possible.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

If you have an “Akismet Spam” tab under pour bbPress’ “Content” admin panel and there’s no little error message there, it should be working.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

The user authentication stuff is all pluggable (check out bb-includes/pluggable.php: you can override any of those functions with a plugin).

There’s some more discussion about this sort of thing here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/298

[thomasklaiber]

ehm … i think with a lot of work it should be doable to grab the rss-feed, re-format it and put it into the bbpress database … but i can’t do that

thanks!

Great work! That is so wicked so1o!

The URL actually is here:

Must have cut off the link as it was too long maybe?

I have written a plugin to search the wp posts from bbpress search.

One thing I did extra Spencer was add the cookie information for my domain in config.php in bbPress.

$bb->cookiedomain = '.trentadams.ca';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

Maybe try that. As well, I am sure you have it already, but wp_home and wp_siteurl can’t have slashes at the end of each of them.

The bbpress-integration plugin in WordPress. All I did was edit the option to have bb_ as the prefix and even though it was listed already, I always save the option again. Superstition I guess.

The WordPress-integration plugin was just thrown in my-plugins/ forlder in bbPress. It just works.

Can you give me anything else that might help you with this one?

Trent

[Trent Adams]

The profile link comes up when you are logged in. Therefore, the code is in bb-templates/login.php and bb-templates/login-form.php. They could be in my-templates/ if you edited them.

If you are talking about the code for when you view a user, the “Profile Edit Favorites” link then this is the code for profile.php in the same template directory:

<?php elseif ( $user_id == $bb_current_user->ID ) : ?>

<p><?php printf(__('This is how your profile appears to a fellow logged in member, you may <a href="%1$s">edit this information</a>. You can also <a href="%2$s">manage your favorites</a> and subscribe to your favorites’ <a href="%3$s"><abbr title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</abbr> feed</a>'), get_profile_tab_link( $user_id, 'edit' ), get_favorites_link(), get_favorites_rss_link()) ?></p>

<?php endif; ?>

The tags are arranged vertically and I don’t know how difficult it is to change that. You could move the tags code to the bottom of the post and under the reply box, but if that isn’t what you want and want to limit to 10 tags, it might require a core hack or plugin. Neither that I can help with, sorry.

Limiting users with tagging is not something bbPress is setup to do because unless the user is marked by the system as BOZO, all members are treated equal for simplicity reasons.

Trent

[Trent Adams]

Check your Users in WP and make sure they were moved across. It might be that they are not even taking the default role and are not subscribers in WP, but listed in WP. That is the way I have mine setup anyways.

Let me know.

Trent

*EDIT*

Sorry Spencer, you already said they are not moving across. With proper integration, I don’t even have a users table in the database for bbPress. It only uses users of wp_users.

[pontus]

I have worked on my forum for some time: http://www.crazy-media.com/bbpress/

Well, i guess i messed something up, the “profile” menu that used to appear at the top-right corner disappeared. Anyone know how to cal the function?

One other, not releated, problem is that if you tag a forum to much the post disappear longer and longer down the screen. Do anybody know how to limit the tags shown at a topic to maby 10. And is it any way to disallow unregister users to add and remove tags? Some idiots “may” remove every tag and add something like “hitler and anal sex i greate” like 200 times…

[richardjeanderson]

I’ve just installed bbforum to test and play around with, but have hit a niggling problem – I hope people can help.

In the breadcrumb navigation for tags, urls of this forum work:

http://www.learning2goblog.org/bbforum/tags.php?tag=bbpress

but if I click onto the “Tags” link in the breadcrumb navigation (i.e. I open

http://www.learning2goblog.org/bbforum/tags.php), the page does not load, and in Firefox I get the message

---

The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

---

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I’m using the latest version of bbforum, no permalinks.

Thanks for any help you can give.

[topiq]

yeeeeeeeeeeeha!

thanks a lot! great work!!!

As I had said in my blog post, I have those plugins up and running, but.. the problem is that those that register on the bbPress forums, are not able to post comments on my blog, as their username..?

Plugins are:

WordPress Integration (0.7)

bbPress Integration (0.72)

Display-Name

bbPress Post (0.02)

It’s not pulling their email address, and their nicknames have to be assigned by me, in the blog’s control panel, under USERS? I’d hate to have to edit each USER on my blog, so they can post as their “nickname or username”.. rather then “Anonymous”..

Anyone with suggestions, and so forth?

spencerp

[Trent Adams]

It would be a bug with the default template because it isn’t wide enough for the username, but not bbPress. I could suggest a fix for this, but it would only be widening the left portion and decreasing the right portion of the template. Simple change to the style.css file.

Strange, I wondered about this as well
