What template file(s) I’ll have to change to render single bbpress topics as WordPress posts..? I mean I would like to render main topic different from other replies.

I am trying to import data from phpBB 3.2.1 to bbPress 2.6 RC 3. I am working on my local machine.
It is converting Forums, Topics and Replies but Users are not getting imported. Author column is showing as Anonymous.

While importing below error is showing up

WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_wlm’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT convert(users.user_id USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_id,convert(users.user_password USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_password,convert(users.user_form_salt USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_form_salt,convert(users.username USING “utf8mb4”) AS username,convert(users.user_email USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_email,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_website USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_website,convert(users.user_regdate USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_regdate,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_aol USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_aol,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_yahoo USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_yahoo,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_icq USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_icq,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_wlm USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_wlm,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_facebook USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_facebook,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_googleplus USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_googleplus,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_skype USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_skype,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_twitter USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_twitter,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_youtube USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_youtube,convert(users.user_jabber USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_jabber,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_occupation USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_occupation,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_interests USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_interests,convert(users.user_sig USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_sig,convert(profile_fields_data.pf_phpbb_location USING “utf8mb4”) AS pf_phpbb_location,convert(users.user_avatar USING “utf8mb4”) AS user_avatar FROM phpbb_users AS users LEFT JOIN phpbb_profile_fields_data AS profile_fields_data USING (user_id) WHERE users.user_type !=2 LIMIT 0, 100

Thanks, John. RC 5 is not downloading, I have downloaded RC 3. I have tried it locally with phpBB3 and bbPress2.6. It has imported Forums, Topics and Replies but not Users. Is there any problem with importing Users?

Hello. I have an forum on MyBB 1.8.12 with about 60.000 posts, 4.000 threads and 5.000 users. When I’m importing it into bbPress using the importer tool that comes with the plugin, it works really slow. I’m using 100 rows per cycle and it takes 80 seconds to do. I’ve estimated the time for the full conversion and it appears to be around 15 hours… Is this okay with bbPress? When I tried to convert the same forum into vBulletin, it took about 5 minutes.

Hello,

Currently, for my forum (www.filteredthoughts.com), to create a new post, the flow is like this:
– navigate to a topic
– scroll to the end of the topic
– enter content in the ‘Reply to’ edit field
– click ‘Submit’.

I am trying to figure out how to change this flow so that it is like this:
– navigate to a topic
– click on ‘Reply to’ button
– either:
– view previously hidden edit field on same page, or
– navigate to new page with edit field
– enter content in the ‘Reply to’ edit field
– click ‘Submit’.

In other words, I want the users to take explicit action to view the edit field to enter content.

Is this possible? I looked in the bbPress settings, but I couldn’t find anything that would let me do this. Can anyone help?

[kwerri]

I have a plugin called myCred which allows me to add a shortcode to a post so that anyone looking at that post will be allowed to click on a link to add points.

I am trying to figure out where in bbPress I will add this shortcode so that the link will appear for each post.

I am guessing that I will need to create a specially named page and then add the shortcode, but I am not sure about how to create the page (i.e. what name to give it). Am I on the right track, and if not, can someone help?

Hello Marc.
I know it’s been 9 months after your last post here.
Please can you help me 2 or 3 issues:

1. Topic Form:
I want to have been able to close the Topic Editor Form appearing at the bottom of a thread after all topics have been listed via this – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-hide-new-topic-form-at-the-bottom-of-single-form/

BUT I would love to have a button that redirects to a New Topic page, just below the listed Topics on a Thread/”forum” – Does your button redirect you to a new page?

2. Reply Form:
Similar to No.1 above, I don’t want the Reply Form to show at the bottom of comments if it’s possible (similar to hiding the Topic Form) and having a button at the bottom. However, I was hoping that the button was clicked would open up the form for users to type away (I think it’s called ajaxify)? Any suggestions?\

3. Any help on this unrelated topic would be great too – No one has responded yet – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/at-home-page-how-to-list-recent-topics-from-each-forum-under-its-specific-forum/

Hi everyone,
I have almost finished setting up BBpress on my site. The last thing I am stuck is I want to add WP Social Login ICONS to the bottom of topic discussions. I have already succeeded adding this to bottom of forums here https://ehospital.in/forum/help-support/about-us/ by adding the php code<?php do_action( 'wordpress_social_login' ); ?>

I want to do the same to the bottom or under the user not logged in template notice. But unable to do that. Most probably, I am adding the code to wrong templates? Please tell which template should I edit?

You may want to start with the bbPress 2.6 release candidate instead. It comes with numerous improvements to the forum converter that will help speed up your migration.

You can download RC 5 here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/advanced/

[John James Jacoby]

Changes coming in bbPress 2.6 will make this easier for BuddyPress to keep a tab on.

[John James Jacoby]

I’ve made the following change, and it will be part of the 2.6 release.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6728

Until then, I’m afraid you’re a bit out of luck. There really isn’t a great place to filter that exact value other than the place I just added.

[John James Jacoby]

Thanks for the reply!

I’ve made another tweak to the way subscription emails are sent, hoping to make this work a little bit more efficiently.

See: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6725

We could probably improve this a bit more still, by letting plugins like Mailgun replace the email sending process completely with their own. Sending emails en-masse is neither easy nor super fast, so however we can make this better in bbPress, we should be!

I’m trying to integrate buddypress-docs with bbpress forums; the intention is to have topics of discussion within an article/doc. Using buddypress-docs hook ‘bp_docs_after_doc_content’, I create a corresponding forum (if it doesn’t exist) and add a shortcode to display a topic creation form. If a topic exists and is selected, I redirect to the associated article, and display a single topic with:
echo do_shortcode( '[bbp-single-topic id=' . $topic_id .']' );
So far, so good, I don’t know if it is the right aproach, but it seems to work.
The problem comes when I want to post a reply within the selected topic. $_REQUEST variables are used to detect and display the selected topic, but on single-topic the additional ‘bbp_redirect_to’ hidden field is added, causing to redirect and lose those variables. I commented the line where this field is added (bbpress/includes/common/template.php:1620) and it works the way I want, but don’t want to do that 🙂
Any suggestions on how to work this around without messing around with the plugin’s code? Hope the issue is clear, thank you for any help you can provide and for taking the time to read this.

I am using bbPress for a course forum for courses we are offering and whenever anyone replies to a topic it doesn’t immediately appear in the thread. You can’t see it unless you log out and log back in. Or sometimes if you refresh you can see it but then if you refresh again it is gone. It is strange. People aren’t sure if their replies are registering or not.

Hello!

WP version: 4.8.2
bbPress version: 2.5.14

I am looking for a method of tracking how often users participate in forums and even tracking their use of specific forums.

The information should be visible to each user so they can see which forums they still need to participate in. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Many thanks!

I have already made my site and just now realized there’s no live notification widget of any kind. why is that? i cant expect my users to always run to their email to check for notificatioons. how could bbpress miss such an integral thing? is there any way i can notify users of replies, mentions, votes without them having to check the email every now and then???

I have an old forum running on phpBB 2+ version. It has nearly 70000 users and 400000 artcles.
Now I need to migrate it to latest bbPress. In bbPress documentation I read that it support importing from phpBB 3.0+, So how can I achieve this migration?

[bigidol]

I’m running: BBPRESS 2.5.14, WordPress 4.8.2 and BuddyPress 2.9.1
Website: http://www.bigidolforum.org

I am currently building the site, utilizing the “Highend” Theme. Feel free to create user accounts and test at will.

1: The hyperlinks attached to profile images and usernames work perfectly in BuddyPress sections of the site such as Groups and Profile Pages.

2: The hyperlinks attached to profile images and usernames do not exist on bbpress pages. This makes it nearly impossible to navigate to other user profiles.

3: While logged out and viewing Forum Index, usernames and respective profile images appear under Freshness display time. There are no hyperlinks on these while logged out.

4: While logged in and viewing the Forum Index, Freshness displays only time, no usernames or profile images.

The most important thing to me right now is repairing the missing hyperlinks while viewing the forum. I would like to stabilize the Freshness situation by removing profile images/usernames completely or making it entirely functional. I am an entry level site builder looking to learn as I go. This site will be used by hundreds or thousands due to a large social media following. I love the challenge but it’s hard to find where to start on these issues.

Hi @robin-w,

Did you get a chance to take a further look at this?

I noticed that if I change the “Dashboard > Settings > General” timezone to UTC+0, bbPress starts displaying the correct time freshness, but all other timestamps across the website become incorrect, because UTC+0 is the incorrect timezone for the website’s location. It should be UTC-7.

Please tell me how I can apply the “UTC+0” timezone exclusively to bbPress alone, so that it starts displaying the correct freshness?

Hi,

this is a pre-installation question, havent used bbpress yet:

Thanks and kind regards from Germany,

[slanglois]

Are there any plugins out there that will allow forum members to reply to forum posts form their email? I’ve been trying to get bbPress Post Via Mail to work without any luck. No answers to support requests either. Does anyone know if that plugin is still being supported? Or does anyone know of another option?

Thanks!
