This plugin is not working property, actually is creating not valid URLS inside the sitemap like this:

<url>

<loc>/?</loc>

<lastmod>2007-07-14</lastmod>

<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>

<priority>0.014705882352941</priority>

</url>

This happens with the latest version of bbPress (0.8.2.1)

[If you plan on integrating WP and bbPress, it is best to have a running copy of WP up and going.]

I already have WordPress up and running.

[Then just install your bbPRess in the same database as WP. WordPress will have the database prefix of wp_ and bbPress with bb_]

I have WordPress installed in my public_html directory in a directory named blog

Do you mean install bbPress in the blog directory?

In other words, don’t create a separate directory forum to install bbPress?

I think I want mywebsitedomainname/blog and mywebsitedomainname/forum to be separate urls

But to integrate WordPress with bbPRess do they have to have the same url?

Thanks

On a separate note

I should be able to use WinSCP to login to my server via SSH, then access my database with a MySQL login, then drop the bb_ tables from the failed bbPress install.

I imagine this could be done through the WinSCP Console

I realize the phpAdmin is a more user friendly interface than the WinSCP Console.

I sent an e-mail to my web hosting support, but they haven’t responded.

I took Bruno Torres’ converter script as a foundation, and re-wrote it to work with the Punbb database architecture. Also, added in a tiny bit of string clean up, since Punbb allows foreign characters in the username field, and BBPress does not.

Here’s the code to look at:

http://utopian.net/code/punbb-importer.phps

And in a handy .zip for download:

http://utopian.net/code/punbb-importer.zip

A few important notes, since this is NOT at all pretty –

1) It uses a lot of memory, so make sure PHP has access to at least 16mb in php.ini. If I had more than 20 minutes to devote to this, I’d look into that and try to improve it, but hey.

2) If you’re importing a lot of data, you may need to split up the resultant sql file into smaller files less than 2mb in size. Add this to the list of things I would automate if I needed to use this script more than once.

3) I am using BBPress integrated with WPMU and included lines for importing into the WordPress user tables. After I noted and fixed the problem converting Punbb’s lax, apostrophe-laden usernames to nice and sanitary WP-friendly ones, the script ran like a charm. Seriously, if I’d known it would be this easy I would have done this six months ago.

4) The forum-parent to forum relationship imported correctly into the database, but displayed a little funny, so I manually re-ordered the forum items in the database and massaged the template a little bit to recognize forum parents a little bit differently, more PunBB style.

5) A clean WPMU and BBPress install is ideal, but I already had ten existing WP users, half of whom had a user account in the PunBB data I was merging. For such a small data set, it was very easy to manually correct this by deleting the PunBB users and making sure that the imported topics and posts for those users pointed to their current id.

Hopefully this will be a good start for those of us looking to move existing PunBB forums to BBPress & WordPress. Good luck, and let me know if you use it!

Offhand I’d guess that the last poster function is meant to be “in the loop” for a per topic basis. Because you are trying to use it for an entire sub-forum, it’s missing a topic id reference. You’d have to calculate the last topic that the last poster posted in.

Posting the code to that part of the template would help (at least for me)

[papadoc]

Hi, all…

I’ve looked around and haven’t been able to find a solution to my problem…

My forum, elephantwords.co.uk/forum, has a “last poster” bit at the bottom of each page, that, on thread and forum pages, shows the last poster to have posted… I’ve used the Get_User_Profile_Link to make the name of the poster link to the last poster’s profile.

The thing is, it doesn’t work. Go to the site to see what I mean, but when you mouseover the link, a message across the bottom of the browser says “Missing Argument 1 for Get_User_Profile_Link”

I don’t know any php, and I’ll admit to having nabbed most of the code from other templates. However, I’m convinced that this worked when I first put it in, and I’ve no idea how to fix it now. The Latest Discussions bit, which is next to it in the bottom page navigation, works fine.

Does anyone have a clue what’s up here? My flabber is totally gasted…

[thierryyyyyyy]

I have the same error on LOCALHOST, and also with windows. (my forum hosted on web works )

(thierry is the name of my computer, and is synonyme of “localhost”)

link I click on to activate my template is such : (there are 2 “”)

http://thierry/forum/bb-admin/themes.php?theme=D%3A%5C%5CMes+Documents%5C%5Csites_web%5C%5C2diabolos.com%5C%5Cforum%2Fmy-templates%2F2diabolos%2F&_wpnonce=0ecdd913e2

I tried the “patch_to_url_2” in vain.

a “brillant” idea made me change the themes.php :

if ( !in_array($activetheme, $themes) ) {

$activetheme = BBPATH . 'my-templates/2diabolos/'; // THIS LINE WAS 'bb-templates/kakumei/' ...

bb_update_option( 'bb_active_theme', $activetheme );

remove_action( 'bb_admin_notices', $theme_notice );

bb_admin_notice( __('Theme not found.  Default theme applied.'), 'error' );

}

works well (hopefully)

(after reflection, I think the following line don’t help)

I tried to debug a little bit. I put in themes.php

print_r($themes);

echo "<br>";

echo "the theme you want to activate : " . $_GET['activated'] ;

the result for the first line is good, the “$_GET ” is empty.

[Jaithn]

Hey guys,

wordpress already has an attchment uploader, doesn’t it? is there a chance to build a plug-in for bbpress using that code?

grz,

jaithn

[citizenkeith]

Well, I don’t know the first thing about writing plugins, so if somebody can help out, I’d appreciate it.

[fel64]

Not a clue. Maybe that host’s MySQL version doesn’t support SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS on *? Or something. Your best bet is to report this problem on trac as the bug it is.

[fel64]

You need to write a plugin that will be called on a hook in the profile, where it adds to the associative array $profile_info_keys an entry with key ‘bb_title’ – I think. To see how to do that, look at some other plugin that adds fields to the profile info thingy.

[_ck_]

Apparently WordPress allows dots (periods) in usernames as well?! (it did at some point, not sure if it still does but I have users with nicknames like that)

So I had to modify this plugin with a dot

return preg_replace('/[^ ta-z0-9_.-]/i', '', str_replace("%20"," ",$raw));

apparently php is very sensitive as to what order the pattern is in, that dot has to be right there in the sequence or it throws a shedload of errors.

Fourth time is the charm? Ugh. Sorry!

I’ve been studying to see if there’s anyway via plugins instead of hacking the code for both WP and BB to consolidate the common javascript routines they both use.

Not only do they load half a dozen scripts at certain times, one of them, prototype.js is 50k in size. But they seem to be common for both.

All we would need is choose a common script path.

I guess it’s possible to

remove_action(‘bb_head’, ‘bb_print_scripts’);

and then plugin your own.

But what kills me is bbPress doesn’t need ANY of those scripts except for thinks like deleting posts to forward correctly and the ajax actions.

I really dislike ajax, especially when it’s used where it’s not needed.

If you email me the code, I can change your first post as we go.

Okay by adding these to the remove_filters list, you can also run allow images:

remove_filter( 'pre_post', 'allow_images_encode_bad', 9 );

remove_filter( 'pre_post', 'allow_images', 52 );

It may also be necessary to increase my filter priority to 8, ie.

add_filter('pre_post', 'bb_admin_post_anything',;

Since I can’t edit my first post I will try to add it to the repository with the changes?

[_ck_]

I will look at the code for allow images but I suspect it’s because they must run one of the three bad filters after my filter runs.

I think I tried adding to the repository and nothing happened but I’ll try again.

[Trent Adams]

I tested it on my onvertigo.com site which is not using the default template either. It doesn’t work for me with any themes!

Strange…..using:

Just tested a youtube embed copied right from their site and it works tested in IE and Firefox.

I don’t use the default bbpress template however, I wonder if that is affecting it somehow.

Are you using the updated v0.02 that I posted, not v0.01 ?

If it still doesn’t work, can you view source on the outputed page and copy just the part with that one post with full html here (between code tags obviously) so I can see what it is doing?

[_ck_]

Been meaning to do this for awhile, didn’t realise how easy it was. This makes bbPress behave more like WordPress in that admin (keymasters/administrators) can post any content regardless of tag restrictions for the rest of members. This includes images, javascript, objects like flash video player, etc.

wow nice site

[retrospec]

Hello,

The fault was found and suggested to me at wordpress forum and it is due to magic quotes runtime being turned on.

I’d strongly recommend as an interim you modify your installation instructions to state clearly that magic quotes runtime should be turned off for the software to work.

And for any future stable/svn release you should perform a check on magic quotes and code around this issue.

Neil.

I bet they mean like in wordpress where the cookie will be set for a year instead of a week?

What’s the bbpress cookie default, I’ll have to go look at the code.

I get around this problem by forcing the wp login from everywhere.

There was another request for this feature here:

This is so simple I bet I am duplicating what someone else has already done. I am not sure why this isn’t in bbPress by default and it doesn’t even begin to address what I would consider basic moderation tools but it’s a start.

Install and check under “content” submenu. Why the posts menu =deleted posts in bbpress’s default I have no clue.

If you use $bbdb->users you should get the appropriate table name instead.

tested working – at least for my setup:

function rebuild_topics() {

global $bbdb;

// currently only rebuilds last post pointers, last poster name, last poster id, last topic post date

//  todo:  rebuild entire topics table

// warnings: hard coded for WP user table - backup your DB before using

// run the built-in post/topic recount first



echo "t<br>n";

if ( $topics = (array) $bbdb->get_results("SELECT topic_id,post_id,poster_id,post_time FROM <code>bb_posts</code> a WHERE  post_position=(SELECT MAX(post_position) FROM <code>bb_posts</code> WHERE topic_id=a.topic_id) AND post_status = '0' GROUP BY topic_id ") ) :

echo "tt" . __('Calculating last posters for each topic...') . "n";

foreach ($topics as $t) {

echo $t->topic_id."... ";

$user_login=$bbdb->get_var("SELECT user_login FROM wp_users WHERE ID='$t->poster_id'");

$bbdb->query("UPDATE $bbdb->topics SET topic_time='$t->post_time',topic_last_poster= '$t->poster_id', topic_last_poster_name='$user_login', topic_last_post_id='$t->post_id' WHERE topic_id = '$t->topic_id'");

}

endif;

echo "<br> tt" . __('Done calculating last posters.');

}
