I solved this after a quick search of the code. I updated the following file:

/bbpress/includes/forums/template-tags.php

updating the line:

‘posts_per_page’ => get_option( ‘_bbp_forums_per_page’, 50 ),

to:

‘posts_per_page’ => get_option( ‘_bbp_forums_per_page’, 64 ),

I tried to upgrade my bbPress forum from version 1.0.2 to 1.2, following the method described on this topic: http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/upgrade-bbpress-1-0-2-to-2-1-2/page/2/#post-127780. But when I get in my control panel and try to upgrade my database clicking on the indicated button i get a 500 Internal Sever Error Message, given by the following error on my error log:
[Mon Aug 12 21:23:48 2013] [warn] [client 127.0.0.1] mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 71 seconds, referer: http://XXXXXX/forum/bb-admin/upgrade.php

I really need a little help.

I have a phpBB (3.0.11) forum since many years. After a good clean up, I am down at these stats
1 200 members
18 000 subjects
52 000 answers

My urls looks like this
http://www.mysite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=27944

In Google i get 280 000 results if I type this
“mysite.com/forum/viewtopic.php”

I am feeling this forum software (thanks for all these nice years!) gets behind the actual social life these years so I am looking to change for another forum (hopefully with Facebook login!)

What will happen if I decide to switch to installing bbPress into my actual WordPress ? I have read the codex, but doest my urls and so my results in google would all be lost (as I can’t see how a rewrite redirect url could work here anyway) ?

Latest Attachment PunBB.php

Fixed:

• Topics
• Replies
• User Nice Name ‘user_nicename’ & Display Name ‘user_displayname’ import fields
• User PunBB MSN

Outstanding:

• Forum/Category? hierarchy (currently parent forums/categories are imported ‘flat’)
• User Passwords
• – Custom BBCode for Topic & Reply Content

NOTE: If you are importing ‘users’ during the import you will see multiple instances of the following error message:-
– Notice: Undefined variable: user_pass in /home/webhost/public_html/wp-includes/user.php on line 1305
This can be ignored and only relates to the current non-working state of converting user passwords. If you need to login (or users login) they will just need to reset their WordPress password to be able to login.

@ricov4 Thanks, to help out if you can download the importer and setup a test environment to see how well it works that would be great.

@koawinter I have not tried SMF 1.1.16 and only downloaded the latest version of SMF. Are you able to update your SMF to v2.0.4? You could also try the importer and see if it does or does not work and we can go from there.

@NeilJ Thanks a bunch for testing it out… The previous versions of the counts would have been off as the original reply query was adding the original topic as its own reply, I have now fixed this and from my testing the counts are now correct for topics and replies.

As far as I can tell it is now only the user passwords and some custom regex strings to fix some converted BBCode and ‘Smilies’ and we will have a perfect SMF importer 🙂

[Stephen Edgar]

I have updated the SMF Importer and you can download the latest again via the same links in my original post above.
Fixed:

• Forum parent hierarchy
• Imported Replies now import correctly
• User Display Name

Outstanding:

• User Passwords
• Custom BBCode for Topic & Reply Content

NOTE: If you are importing ‘users’ during the import you will see multiple instances of the following two error messages:-

• Notice: Undefined variable: user_pass in /home/webhost/public_html/wp-includes/user.php on line 1305
• Notice: Undefined index: salt in /home/webhost/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/converters/SMF.php on line 566

These can both be ignored and only relates to the current non-working state of converting user passwords. If you need to login (or users login) they will just need to reset their WordPress password to be able to login.

Hmmm something odd going on and I beginning to think it is to do with the number rows being processed for the replies. Running a test where I have set processing of 100 rows at a time it is showing in the status box as the following:

Converting replies (1500 - 1599)

Looking at the number of wp_posts where the post_type is equal to reply it shows 1652:

mysql> select count(*) from wp_posts where post_type = "reply";
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|     1652 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

I was checking the processlist whilst the import was running and the inserts just completely stopped with no errors.

[NeilJ]

Been giving this a try today and yeah there seems to be a problem with importing replies (which we know is not working yet). So to help out the OP I give an example of replies not importing. For instance, this is the total number of SMF messages on SMF database I wish to convert to BBPress:

mysql> select count(*) from smf_messages;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|     2663 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Running the importer it seems to get stuck and stops importing:

mysql> select count(*) from wp_posts where post_type = "reply";
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|     2252 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

I am doing this on my own machine and looking at the apache logs I don’t see any errors related to the import. I also checked if there was a query stuck so I checked the process list and it was empty.

Going to debug the relevant scripts and see what I can find.

Probably best directed at @johnjamesjacoby, any suggestions welcome!

Already read your post here (love the concept, makes sense) and have a question : http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/roles-and-capabilities-in-bbpress-2-2/

I’m the developer of Events Manager and in this plugin you can assign custom capabilities to existing roles. Unfortunately your recent update regarding caps is preventing our plugin from adding custom caps to your roles.

I’ve figured out a way around this, but this requires at least 1 extra database query each instance since I can’t load wp_user_roles via get_option due to your hooks.


function em_bbp_get_caps_for_role( $caps, $role ){
global $em_capabilities_array, $wpdb;
//get the non-dynamic role from the wp_options table
$roles = maybe_unserialize($wpdb->get_var("SELECT option_value FROM {$wpdb->options} WHERE option_name='wp_user_roles'"));
//loop through the original role if it exists and add our em caps to the bp role
if( !empty($roles[$role]) ){
foreach($roles[$role]['capabilities'] as $cap_name => $has_cap ){
if( array_key_exists($cap_name, $em_capabilities_array) ){
$caps[$cap_name] = $has_cap;
}
}
}
return $caps;
}
add_filter('bbp_get_caps_for_role', 'em_bbp_get_caps_for_role', 10, 2);


What it does is load our caps into your caps by referencing the original wp_user_roles array

So, my questions are:

• Is there a better way to do this, preferably avoiding extra DB queries?
• Since you seem to be assigning a second role to the user, would an alternative solution be to prevent EM from assigning caps to bbpress user roles and let the primary/secondary role inherit the relevant caps?

thanks for reading!

Hi,

I would like to make the forum name part of the topic dynamic.

I like to have
forum/name-of-forum/topic-title

where the “name-of-forum” should relflect the name of the forum the topic is in

but I get:
forum/topic/topic-title

where the “topic” part is fixed.

Is there a plugin? Do I have to code?

Any help is appreciated 🙂

Hi,

I’m currently trying to adjust the styles of my bbpress install and am running into a bit of difficulty. I’m running bbPress 2.3.2 and WP 3.6, using my own theme which is based on “Twenty Twelve.”

I noticed some big spaces in the header on each page and went to reduce the space. It turns out there are a bunch of different paragraph tags in the header for each “topic” on my site, but these tags do not appear on example sites listed on bbpress.org.

This first snippet is the code I’d like to have so I can style it (taken from http://www.dalluva.com/member-area/forums/topics/resources-where-to-get-your-sommelier-certification/):

<li class=”bbp-header”>
<div class=”bbp-reply-author”>Author</div><!– .bbp-reply-author –>
<div class=”bbp-reply-content”>Posts</div><!– .bbp-reply-content –>
<!– .bbp-header –>

This is what my site is generating:

<li class=”bbp-header”>
<div class=”bbp-reply-author”>Author</div><p><!– .bbp-reply-author –></p>
<div class=”bbp-reply-content”><p>Posts</p></div><p><!– .bbp-reply-content –></p>

Why is my site putting paragraph tags around the comments, as well as the word “Posts”? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Benjamin

I’m having the same problem as kiagua and Andy Smith
WordPress 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2

exactly the same error message, referencing line 1199. Interestingly the warning shows up twice.

Anyway, here’s the whole function which contains that line:`/**
* Adds ability to include or exclude specific post_parent ID’s
*
* @since bbPress (r2996)
*
* @global DB $wpdb
* @global WP $wp
* @param string $where
* @param WP_Query $object
* @return string
*/
function bbp_query_post_parent__in( $where, $object = ” ) {
global $wpdb, $wp;

// Noop if WP core supports this already
if ( in_array( ‘post_parent__in’, $wp->private_query_vars ) )
return $where;

// Bail if no object passed
if ( empty( $object ) )
return $where;

// Only 1 post_parent so return $where
if ( is_numeric( $object->query_vars[‘post_parent’] ) )
return $where;

// Including specific post_parent’s
if ( ! empty( $object->query_vars[‘post_parent__in’] ) ) {
$ids = implode( ‘,’, array_map( ‘absint’, $object->query_vars[‘post_parent__in’] ) );
$where .= ” AND $wpdb->posts.post_parent IN ($ids)”;

// Excluding specific post_parent’s
} elseif ( ! empty( $object->query_vars[‘post_parent__not_in’] ) ) {
$ids = implode( ‘,’, array_map( ‘absint’, $object->query_vars[‘post_parent__not_in’] ) );
$where .= ” AND $wpdb->posts.post_parent NOT IN ($ids)”;
}

// Return possibly modified $where
return $where;
}`

line 1199:`
if ( in_array( ‘post_parent__in’, $wp->private_query_vars ) )
return $where;`

This might sound like a wild hack in the dark but I thought I’d have a go at simply making the second parameter an array, like so:

// Noop if WP core supports this already
	if ( in_array( 'post_parent__in', array($wp->private_query_vars) ) )
		return $where;

and much to my surprise this seems to have solved the problem in as much as the error warning is gone and as far as I can tell so far, the two (private) fora I have set up seem to be running as normal.

I’m still getting a 500 server error… Not sure what is going on. You have done a wonderful job with the code though. What would cause custom imports to fail and not built in imports?

Hi,

I was hoping that someone could tell me if there is there a way to display a list of child forums for specific parent using a shortcode?

For example, I have a number of private member forums that visitors need to login to view. I want to have a page that they visit to logon with the list of private forums below.

http://www.blueclouditsolutions.com/asap/
Wordpress version: 3.6
bbpress version: 2.3.2

Thanks for your help.

Steve.

[johni33]

No, it’s still doing it, no response from bbpress.

[nvkodde]

Were you able to figure out this problem? I’m having the same issue.

[Stephen Edgar]

I downloaded a trial of Social Engine and I have now set it up to test with…

I am using Social Engine v4.6.0, what version do you have/using???

I may have missed it but I was unable to select a table prefix for the MySQL database during install so all the Social Engine v4.6.0 database tables all have a common prefix of ‘engine4_’ and here is a pic of the MySQL DB structure for the forum tables.

With your importer I noticed that with your ‘from_tablename’ for each section you are using multiple table names in each section. eg. In the ‘forum section’ you have used ‘se_forums’, ‘se_forumtopics’ & ‘forum’ for ‘from_tablename’, you can really only use a single database table for each section unless you have a valid set of ‘join_tablename’, ‘join_type’ & ‘join_expression’.

In my updated import script that I will link to below I used ‘forum_forums’ for each field in the ‘forum section’ and on the bbPress import screen I used a table prefix of ‘engine4’ thus the query during import will use all the forum info from the ‘engine4_forum_forums’ database table as per my image above.

I started with the copy of your import script you linked to which was a great help in getting up and running quickly and I have updated it with as many fields as I can find and things ‘appear’ to be working quite well at my end though some more testing is still needed.

Anyway, you can take a look at the update I did which also brings some code tweaks and formatting inline with the other bbPress Importers.

As long as you are using Social Engine v4.6.0 I think this should help a great deal, if your using an old v3 version we will have to see if I can get my hands on a copy of that.

One more thing… What about users? Do you need tom convert/import them???
(I will end up adding the user import to this for when others need to)

Without further ado…. Check it out here:
https://gist.github.com/ntwb/cefe6fe20b1a652a50fc
(It still needs a few more tweaks and checks, but it is close)

[tveryadvancedhelp]

I think you need to check that file php code, on line 1198, if there not some mistake. It’s showing 1199 but you always need to look back from that line to discover the problem.
you always can contact me verd733@gmail.com for help.

If ‘PHP-fusion’ uses a MySQL database you should be able to modify the included ‘Example.php’ import script.

You can take a stab at modifying the included ‘Example.php’ included with bbPress to try importing your forums just as @vogelsang did for importing from Drupal. There are some basic instructions here on creating your own custom imports for bbPress.

Further information on importing existing forums into be bbPress can be found here:
