Please! You’ll have to be patient.. we are lucky we got this phpBB to bbpress importer this quickly.. jeesh! I’m sure brunotorre will probably make up more import scripts then..
If not brunotorre, then someone else I’m sure.. We’ll just have to be patient here.. Just my 2 cents …
I was able to use his script to bring over all of my users, just by modifying the table names that it was calling for from phpBB. But his code got more complicated, especially for the posts.. For someone who has a firm grasp on php, it wasn’t as much to ask as it might seem.. But I ended up bringing over the info by hand via PHPMyAdmin… Nearly everything, minus the dates of posts since PunBB put that info on a different table altogether.
But yeah, I’m not faulting brunotorre for not getting to my issue immediately. The demand for PunBB->BBPress is prolly going to always be small. Kudos for brunotorre’s work, def!
Great, thanks. Although I’m still having problems installing this 
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/bookieb/public_html/bbpress/config.php on line 46
Line 46 (and further):
$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix.
$bb->wp_home = ‘www.bookieboy.co.uk’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash
$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘www.bookieboy.co.uk’; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash
Okay. Thanks for the link. 
why not do as wordpress does? just copy a script/code into a folder and then activate the plug-in and then folow the install instructions acorting too the plug-in readme about tags? and so on?
then you can easly can deside yourself witch you need this plug-in ore not just like wordpress.
I would like a plugin with a imageshack/fapomatic upload form.
#1. have a smoother “intuitive” integration between wordpress and bbpress?
#2. plugins and theme options pages in control panel *doh* 
#3. in the bbpress control panel, have a link that says “over to wordpress” and vice versa; that would require bbpress and wordpress to “recognize” each other’s presence on the website. a result of suggestion #1
#4. search function? etc
that’s all i can muster… otherwise it’s awesome.
nevermind, i figured out what went wrong:
near the bottom…
// Use the following line *only* if you will be loading WordPress everytime you load bbPress.
//define('WP_BB', true);
so i removed the //
define('WP_BB', true);
and that’s what caused the problem… now that i replaced the // back, integration works fine. but i have a question?
what was that line even supposed to do? i thought load everytime means i can callup the wordpress functions in the bbpress template? or something to that extent? someone please clarify?
What about importing from PunBB?
*sigh*

Did not work, I put a print statement in the userspace.php, printing “This code is being executed.” and it showed up, but does not solve the whitespace problem.
Thx Philip – Naturally I was hoping to avoid the XML round-trip, but I’ll swallow that little overhead-pill for now!
Ahhh, my bad. I thought that is what ”pretty’ permalinks did. Something to look forward to
(BTW, xdforum uses mod rewrite rules to make it work. It’s a wordpress forum plugin. Nifty, but I guess it depends on which features are more important to the end user right now )
I copied this code into a file called userspace.php and then copied that file into the my-plugins folder. Is there anything else I need to do?
Professor Stigious is also the keymaster. Is this super problematic?
btw thank you for your fast response!
The domain should be http://localhost and the path should be /~myusername/bbpress/ but that shouldn’t stop the database connection.
Do you know if you have PHP’s mysqli extension loaded (as opposed to the normal mysql)? If you do, try copying bb-includes/db.php to bb-includes/db-mysqli.php to overwrite that later file (it seems to be out of date).
Please let me knw if that helps or not.
I must be missing something. I tried the +Multi thing, and I kept getting an error about no input file. So, I copied the code into my .htaccess file and put it in the right directory, but my links still look like this:
http://www.youknowyouwanna.net/forums/forum/1
How can I get it to use the names of the forums, and the titles of the threads? Thanks!
My mistake; you’re absolutely right — it only displays deleted posts.
Marky, just after posting here I realized I forgot to convert the bbcodes. I’ll try to make it shortly.
About the announcements and sticky, I’ll give a look too.
But I still don’t have a clue why posts don’t appear on the admin. If you or anyone know why, please let me know.
I believe there are several plugins for WordPress (and even a sidebar widget) that pull content from RSS feeds.
I’d use the widget since I don’t know the names of the plugins off the top of my head. I’m sure Google does, though
OK, I gave the script a shot and it imported everything very nicely!
The only snag is that the bbCodes weren’t stripped or converted in the process, so many of the posts end up looking like gibberish. Also, sticky threads and announcements weren’t converted as such, although that’s less of an issue.
I certainly hope there’s enough demand for this script to justify adding these features. Otherwise, nice job!
Got it!
Didn’t use back ticks – just straight code and it works fine.
Don’t know how I missed this.
Nope. Fresh from the download page. I did check db.php and it does have code in there if the 2nb db is declared, it just seems not to catch it.
I’m gonna try it stuffed away on on a live server somewhere. I don’t want to accidentally hose my MU install until I know I can get it working.
Copy bb-templates/topic.php to my-templates/
Find and remove
<li id="resolution-flipper"><?php _e('This topic is') ?> <?php topic_resolved(); ?></li>
This will likely be removed by default in future versions of bbPress.
Make sure there is no whitespace (spaces, extra lines, tabs, etc.) before the <?php in your plugin nor after the ?>
brunotorre, you’re a life saver! I’ll give the script a test shot tonight, and I’ll let you know how it goes.
mdawaffe, thanks for the response, okay,
example.com/someblog
my forum is in example.com/forums
i’m not loading wpmu, i was using at a point of time
MU_BB was true,
include_once(‘wp-config’)
(the syntax was right)
However, i took that off since it was messing up my template, it was assuming that /forums is someone that wanted to register.
should i solve that issue FIRST? if so, any ideas?
however, back to main topic, what should i play with in order to share the sessions?
