Excellent 🙂

The vBulletin importer already includes some regex conversion expressions and should be actually converting those for you.

The actual code from Line #578 is (vBulletin.php)

// Replace '[video=youtube;$1]$2[/video]' with '$2"

		$vbulletin5_markup = preg_replace( '/\[video\=youtube;(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/video\]/', '$2', $vbulletin5_markup );

What that is doing using regular expressions is converting anything in the format of
From: [video=youtube;$1]$2[/video]'
eg. [video=youtube;yF5sbwb4VTg]http://youtu.be/yF5sbwb4VTg[/video]

To: '$2"
eg. http://youtu.be/yF5sbwb4VTg

(If WordPress settings allow YouTube embeds then we only need to post the YouTube URL to the topic or reply)

In your case you have an extra string '_share' in your custom BBCode…

So with copy and paste magic… We end up with this as anxtra regex string conversion:

 		// Replace '[video=youtube;$1]$2[/video]' with '$2"
 		$vbulletin_markup = preg_replace( '/\[video\=youtube;(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/video\]/', '$2', $vbulletin_markup );
+		
+		// Replace '[video=youtube_share;$1]$2[/video]' with '$2"
+		$vbulletin5_markup = preg_replace( '/\[video\=youtube_share;(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/video\]/', '$2', $vbulletin5_markup );
 

You can look at this gist which is a little clearer to read and also download the file.

You can either add those two lines to your own file or download the gist complete there and it should work for you 🙂

anyone??

[Techknowledgic]

Thank you so much Stephen! it worked, I just had some of them with 0 that’s why it didn’t work

and idk if you can help also with editing the freshness https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/can-i-change-the-freshness-pic-size/

Thanks in advance 🙂

[Nykess]

I gave “GD bbPress Attachments” and “GD bbPress Tools” a try and they are pretty good, but I’m wondering if anyone has some better suggestions.

With “GD bbPress Tools” especially, I don’t like where users have to go in order to update their forum signature. It’s awkward.

Thanks!

[manuxel]

Sweet, I tried to make an importer based on the example and the phpbb but I couldn’t make it work, thanks a lot for the effort, I’m going to try it right now…

[Stephen Edgar]

Hi 🙂

We are all just volunteers helping out where and when we can, that becomes more noticeable when a few of us have other stuff going on and we can’t dedicate as much time as we’d like to 🙂

Most definitely private group forum posts should not be showing up when using [bbp-topic-index].

bbPress 2.4 is just about out the door https://bbpress.org/blog/2013/08/bbpress-2-4-release-candidate-1/ but if you give that a try and see how well your BuddyPress Group Forums are being integrated and if your issue has been fixed, if not create a new ticket in trac and we can take a look https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/. I am pretty sure your issues should be covered in the fix from Ticket #2349

Using WP 3.6 and BBPress 2.3.2

I have replies set to 20 per page.

http://fakeologist.com/forums/topic/more-on-streetcar-named-fakery-3/

when I click the page 2 link here:
http://fakeologist.com/forums/topic/more-on-streetcar-named-fakery-3/page/2/

It reverts to the first link above.

[Stephen Edgar]

It should work just fine, that said if you change a couple of forums to say 1, 2 & 3 make sure none of other forums in the same category have 0 assigned to them.

bbPress Version 2.3.2 & WP 3.6

Hello! Sorry for the newbie question 🙂 I’d like to customize the registration experience for my instance of bbpress. Specifically, I’d like to specify the content:

1. In addition to the username and password fields on the sign-up page
2. In the “you are now registered email” users get
3. In the forgot your password page
4. In the forgot your password email

Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks again!

Note: I know we can specify custom URI’s…but using the registration short code creates a page with the following content…I’d like to change that text etc. “Your username must be unique, and cannot be changed later. We use your email address to email you a secure password and verify your account.”

[SickSquirrelTwo]

Using bbPress (not current version, one back), WordPress 3.5.1. Need 2 plugins:

1. Want to receive eMail on every post, whether new topic or reply.

2. Want a “See New Posts” link in the header. I had this with phpBB and am used to it as are users.

If I don’t need a plugin, and the script(s) can be edited, that’s ok. Just quote me a very reasonable price to do it or provide all the coding and details for me to do.

[davidapple]

I need some help. I am running a bbPress site and making a feature out of the bbPress search. I’ve noticed that it works great for text strings found in the title and body copy. However, it does not return topics that have the search query as topic tags.

I know that an attempt has been made at a very advanced search plugin, I don’t want this. I simply need the basic text search to include topic tags. Is there a simple PHP function that can do this?

Perhaps perform the normal search and then topic tag search and merge the results, removing duplicates?

I am aware that this has been discussed before but this specific solution has not been touched upon.

“Advanced” search options — where and what are they?

Search doesn’t use tags, nor headlines

[Stephen Edgar]

Make sure you have the correct fields for ALL of the values:

• Database Name: Name of the database with your old forum data
• Database User: User for your database connection
• Database Password: Password to access the database
• Table Prefix: (If converting from BuddyPress Forums, use “wp_bb_” or your custom prefix)

I am 99% sure that your issue is the last item above, you need to make sure you have the correct database prefix, you can open up phpMyAdmin from your webhost control panel.

If you are unsure of any of these contact your webhost to confirm them.

[Stephen Edgar]

Try accessing example.com/forums instead

Also to get the forums on your front page of WordPress setup a custom page and add a shortcode:

buddypress / bbpress seo help plz

I have a buddypress site ut for some reason buddypress give all pages the same title tags, even the bbpress pages, all posts and topics have the same titles

can anyone help with this

[kriskl]

there used to be the plugin to add this function, but it does not work in 2.2 bbpress anymore :((

it would be nice if the plugin was updated as this feature is very very useful

[MoniqueR]

On my website I use the shortcode [bbp-topic-form] for displaying the ‘new forum form’.

What I think is odd is that the dropdownlist has no “Please select forum” option. It just displays all of the forums with the first one selected. I know many users are not good readers (sorry 🙂 ) so, when they type the title and message they just hit the submit button and forget to select the correct forum, so many topics are put in the wrong forum. Can someone please help me how to add a ‘please select’ to the dropdown and make it required?

Regards,
Monique

I use BBpress 2.3.2. and WordPress3.6

[jimhedd]

Hello. I am testing out the bbpress forum for future use on my website. It is currently located at http://www.historicmysteries.com/forumss/forumm/administration/

I am using a Studiopress Genesis theme and downloaded the BBpress Genesis plugin and toolkit.

If you take a look at the link, the “freshness” text is located underneath and to the right of the text “forum”. Is this correct? It seems out of place.

Any assistance is appreciated

[DAllisonLee]

Hi there –

There’s something wonky going on between Editorial Calendar and bbPress. When I try to access the forums, topics, or replies on the backend, I’m redirected to the calendar.

When I deactivated the calendar, the forum menu disappeared (but the forum remained on the front end). SMH

Any advice for fixing this issue?

[Morgensonne]

Hi,

I have a problem with the bread crumbs in the bbPress forum.
There is only the Home link and the last location.

Example:
It should show:
Home > Forums > forum1 > Post1

When I am in forum1, only appears:
Home > forum1
When I am in Post1, only appears:
Home > Post1

I hope someone can help me, because I have no idea what I need to do to make the breadcrumbs function correctly.

Thank you for help!
Morgensonne

[KenTheriot]

I think – ironically – my posts are being sent straight to spam or pending, etc. here on the bbpress forum. I posted something here yesterday and have not seen it yet. My profile says I have no started topics.

How can this be fixed here? Also, how can I fix it on my own site? I’m using Gensis 2.0.

Thanks.

Ken

Hi,

I’m currently trying to use the shortcodes:
[bbp-register]
[bbp-login]

For some reasons, these plugins don’t appear on the bbpress forum pages but works perfectly fine on any other page.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Tony

You could create a page and call it “help”. Using the bbPress shortcodes you can show the forum index on that page.

You can change the slugs in the settings page (Settings>Forums). There you can change the base slug to “help”, so that all topics show up under /help instead of /forums.

Just make sure that you don’t get conflicts between your pages and the slugs.

Bump!

I know this would create another DB call, but surely this option should be a no brainer for the users. this appears to be a un-popular issue for users..

is bbpress not listening or addressing this request?
