Heeeeeeelp Please.. haha!

i do have a question to all of You,

i mentioned that bbcode was generated with some unwanted code:

[img:33mwiaq9]. It is different for each and every post, so I can’t just use simple UPDATE to get rid of it in “wpp_posts” table.

Does anyone know how to do that?

I can’t use:

UPDATE wpp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content,”[img:33mwiaq9]”,”“)

that would only fix one post and not thousands of them.

I’ve been thinking os using something like:

UPDATE wpp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content,'[b%’,’‘)

but that wouldn’t work either. It is always 8 signs that I have to delete in each bbcode tag.

I have a few sites running on WordPress. I love the simplicity and the expandability. However, I have experienced that the more plugins I add, the slower the site becomes. Techies tell me that this is because WordPress loads all the plugins every time a page loads.

My question is that if I install bbpress, will it make my WordPress site slow? Specifically, when I am on WordPress pages (not the bbpress part), will the bbpress code still be loaded?

Additionally, I have found that buddypress has this fatal flaw in that it wipes out the whole WordPress cache (not just buddypress parts) whenever someone logs in. Is this true for bbpress as well? I use a cheap shared host, and my site can not survive without caching as static, so this is critical…

Thank you babsmiles,

That did the trick!

I didn’t need to add the function in my case, the shortcode worked using a php widget plugin.

[babsmiles]

Add this to your functions.php so that you can add shortcodes to the widgets –

add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’);

Add this to your text/html widget box:

#1 yeah, that’s kinda how it works right now. It’s in need of some love.

#2 https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-no-admin/ removes ability for users to post bbPress content in admin area.

#3 When doing it that way, there is a forum and topic selection dropdown on the right hand side above where you publish the post. The idea being that a user can select the forum and topic right there.

I really think that is more just a quick way for an admin to post a reply, though I can’t see why I would ever use it myself.

#4 probably a bug.

There are also plenty of code snippets online in order to completely remove the admin bar or remove menu’s from the bar if you want. Pretty much just decide what you want to do and check google for the code snippets or plugins.

Had a talk with JJ about a month ago or so about exactly this. At one point he was contemplating removing the templates all together and rather going with a shortcode only system.

I’m pretty sure that in the end this was decided against, but I have not checked the code lately to see what ended up happening.

I do know that in my current theme I was not able to easily use the templates to override the defaults. That was a change from prior, and I thought it was just me being stupid again.

Maybe it was left in limbo or something, we’ll probably have to wait until he jumps back in here and lets us know what changed.

[Anointed]

Yeah, I’m not sure how to get it to work. I just tried it myself, and while I get no errors, I am not able to use shortcodes in my forum topics. Maybe JJ, or someone will jump in and let us know how to properly whitelist shortcodes.

*I know I have my site setup correctly as I can use shortcodes in my other custom post-types. Best guess is that bbPress has some rather strong filtering going on or something. Which btw is not a bad thing, would just help to know what/why it’s happening.

@ebiznet “I tried editing the post to the original bbcode but it doesn’t work. Does bbPress use bbcode at all? I thought it does…”

I suggest install and activate “bbPress2 BBCode” wordpress plugin.

[Satish]

Thanks a lot, but once I install that plugin, my forum goes down

I’m using the plugin version of bbpress.

I’m using WP-Syntax plugin to display some program codes on my blog.

It uses this syntax:

“Syntax highlighting using GeSHi supporting a wide range of popular languages. Wrap code blocks with <pre lang=”LANGUAGE” line=”1″> and where LANGUAGE is a geshi supported language syntax. The line attribute is optional.”

I want to use the same syntax even on my forum.

[Stephen Edgar]

These codes eg. “:twwr5fiw” are NOT added by the converter, they are actually in the raw phpbb database tables, phpbb strips these codes before rendering on the page display.

The converter is copying the content correctly and in essence before running the converter you need to strip these from your phpbb installation first.

I haven’t found an easy way to do this yet but that is what stage I am up to before trying my next conversion. More info can be found by looking around phpbb.com for “Magic URL” & “Short URL” though I haven’t found much that could actually help us out here. It looks like I will try replacing the eg. “:twwr5fiw” & “<! — m –>” info manually with search and replace SQL Update queries directly into the phpbb database tables before conversion.

Thanks for your help in this, Anointed One

Happy New Year 2012, everyone here! May the new year be a good and happy one for all!

[Anointed]

If that extra info is being added during the conversion then something is wrong with the bbcodes converter that bbconverter is using. I will let AWJunkies know about it when he gets back in the office.

thanks for the heads up

[ebiznet88]

One solution I can think of to correct this issue is to go through the SQL file and do a search and replace of this string of characters.

But, as I said in my post earlier, I tried removing the characters so that the original bbcode is restored, in this case the [img]tags, but the post still did not display the image correctly.

Any thoughts on this, anyone?

[Anointed]

It kind of helps to know what plugin you are talking about.

There are a couple of plugins that might help though:

http://bbpressbbcode.chantech.org/

http://bbpressbbcode.chantech.org/shortcode-whitelist/

those allow you to use shortcodes in bbPress, and also choose which ones you allow users to use.

*allowing all shortcodes for users is dangerous, asking for trouble.

**I didn’t write the plugins, and don’t know much about them other than I tried them once and they worked. Just trying to help

[ebiznet88]

I believe that bjj’s example shows the converted code. The original should be:

Stacks:

The converted added the characters “:twwr5fiw” to the post.

Just like in my example:

The original bbcode post:

The converted code:

[img:33mwiaq9]http://www.swafineart.com/images/30.4.07/images/NightOfHeros_lr.jpg[/img:33mwiaq9]

The converter added the characters “:33mwiaq9” to the bbcode tags.

I hope that clarifies the issue we are facing here.

[Anointed]

The bbcode is going to take a special process to convert. I mean what in the world does ‘b:twwr5fiw’ mean anyhow? Notice that when you paste it in here, bbPress is not converting it?

Just like with WordPress where anyone can register anything as a ‘bbcode’ there is no standard between software packages, much less between single sites even. Other than a few standard ones my bbcodes are totally different than yours for example.

In those instances, I can almost guarantee it would require a custom setup. I know AWJunkies was offering this service at one time.

I personally have no idea how it would even work because what are the definitions for the original bbcodes?

My best guess is that AWJunkies would have to go through each persons install one at a time in order to check for bbcode definitions, plugin by plugin, and then create a custom translator.

I did send him a message, but I’m guessing that his office is closed for the holidays as I didn’t hear back from him.

[ebiznet88]

bjj and I have the same concern here. I too have posted above similar results with the conversion. My board has been converted and the strange codes remain.

I tried editing the post to the original bbcode but it doesn’t work.

Does bbPress use bbcode at all? I thought it does…

[bjj_pl]

Is it normal that Converter completely destroys all the phpbb3 bbcode ??

Example:

[b:twwr5fiw]Stacks:[/b:twwr5fiw]

[b:twwr5fiw]UTG nuskei ([color=#0000cc:twwr5fiw]$100[/color:twwr5fiw]) [/b:twwr5fiw]

[b:twwr5fiw]CO 52823824 ([color=#0000cc:twwr5fiw]$136.25[/color:twwr5fiw]) [/b:twwr5fiw]

BTN buckeystevez ([color=#0000cc:twwr5fiw]$113.50[/color:twwr5fiw])

SB Schuks000 ([color=#0000cc:twwr5fiw]$57.75[/color:twwr5fiw])

BB fsnzr ([color=#0000cc:twwr5fiw]$106.75[/color:twwr5fiw])

Well, does anyone know how to fix such things?

[il_dandi]

Excuse me but I’ve not found any mail to my address

I still have same problem

[tflight]

Any help for any of these questions?

simple, but nice

Hi peeps,

I have once before integrated an older release of bbPress 2 which worked fine, i was able to get all the templates to inherit from the activate WordPress theme but in the latest release that inheritance seems to have stopped working for me. Here’s a rundown of what i have done:

1. Copied all the files from within /bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten to the current theme i have activated
2. I have merged the activate themes functions.php file with the functions.php file from bbp-twentyten and removed the extra 2 occurrences for style.css
3. Re-named all occurrences of Twenty-Ten to %THEME_NAME%
4. Ensured add_theme_support('bbpress') exists at the top of my activate themes functions.php file

I have tried everything i physically can, i can modify the files within my themes bbpress folder but just am unable to get the page-* files to respect my changes. I have more then likely overlooked something but i have spent a good 1-2 hours reading through thread after thread and have come up empty handy.

Thanks in advanced.

This is the HTML code

<a href="http://localhost/wordpress/?topic=where-is-the-capital-of-ca&edit=1">Edit</a>

The validation tool shows the following error:

cannot generate system identifier for general entity “edit”

…ess/?topic=where-is-the-capital-of-ca&edit=1″>Edit</p> <p>(…

An entity reference was found in the document, but there is no reference by that name defined. Often this is caused by misspelling the reference name, unencoded ampersands, or by leaving off the trailing semicolon (. The most common cause of this error is unencoded ampersands in URLs as described by the WDG in “Ampersands in URLs”.

I got the link href by calling bbp_topic_edit_link().

Did I make something wrong?

[justinrm]

I’d love to know more on this too.

I figured that you’d be able to override default bbpress pages with custom pages containing shortcodes and changes to the permalink structure.

I haven’t been able to achieve this and I’m struggling to find information on the logic behind all this.
