Hi all.

I started trying to import my bbpress and upgrade to 2.0. However I get :

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/roskilde-open.dk/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-forums.php on line 84

No forums found

Any suggestions? I tried googling and reading other topics, but they didn’t seem to apply to my problem

[aarij]

Oh ok

Thanks for the help

I am now in the midst of converting my phpBB3 forum to bbpress using this converter. I am having to keep refreshing the page every few hundred posts as it keeps stalling. I’m now at around post 15000 being converted. I have 47,000 posts, so there’s still some ways to go.

I have checked the converted posts results in the meantime and noticed that for posts with images, using phpBB’s BBCodes [img]tags, these posts contain strange characters. An example:
[img:33mwiaq9]http://www.swafineart.com/images/30.4.07/images/NightOfHeros_lr.jpg[/img:33mwiaq9]
Night of Heroes – The Dambusters by Philip West.

The original phpBB post would have read:

Night of Heroes – The Dambusters by Philip West.

I would like to ask if the Converter doesn’t retain the bbcodes as is, but introduces these strange characters? Or is this part of the conversion process and after it is completed, I should see it return to normal?

I am using the following shortcode, [bbp-single-topic-tag id=12], in a page and for some reason nothing is being output. I have tried several other shortcodes and they work fine.

I have several topcis that are tagged with the tag that is id# 12. Am I not understanding how this works? I would have thought I would get a list of all topics tagged with this tag.

Can you help me to resolve this problem??

Thanks

I have a wordpress site ( soviettruck.com ), and would like like to add the bbpress forum plugin. The theme I have (Adventure Photography WordPress Theme 2.0) does not have the necessary template/CCS file for bbpress. This means the forums do not display properly. This needs fixing. Also soviettruck.com/forums gives a ‘Not Found’.. maybe needs some additional config?

Offering $40 by paypal if someone can fix this ASAP, should be pretty quick. Send me an email at davidzweig at hotmail dot com, and I’ll send you the SSH/FTP/Wordpress passwords. Site is hosted by Webfaction.

Once the CSS/template file is fixed, I’ll then use shortcodes to integrate the forum into the rest of the site.

“Home › Forums” displays children post or category as a title.

What’s more it shows different title for different browsers.

Examples (in my case):

“Home › Forums” – in Firefox: title “stare”

“Home › Forums” – in IE8 and Chrome: title: “KONKURS FTP ACADEMY”

http://forumpokerowe.com/forum/

I cleaned the cache for the browsers.

How to change it? Can i at least hardcode it somehow? What do You think?

[Satish]

To be precise:

I’ve installed a wp plugin for displaying programming codes with numbering and coloring.

we should write the code inside some tags.

Now I want to use the same tag even in the forum and get the same effect. Is this possible ?

Hey guys, I could use a little help. I’ve installed a plugin on my WP to change the default registration link so as to avoid spam bots. I’d like to edit my bbPress “Registration Page” template to work with this new link.

Can anyone tell me how to change it from:

“wp-login.php?action=register”

to

“wp-login.php?action=example”

I’d really appreciate it. I’ve tried digging into the code and it’s not super clear to me.

[Anointed]

Yeah, good catch.

I’m guessing it’s probably best to wait for buddyPress 1.6 as it’s going to have much better integration with bbPress.

There is going to be a bit more involved to it, than following what the other thread mentions. Unfortunately I have not yet spent time reading buddyPress code base to know what actions to edit.

[bjj_pl]

@Anointed

by funny effect I mean when it shows for example “246 days” since the last post when in fact there are many more recent posts to show. It takes a random post and shows it as the freshest

[iftomkins]

Good answer! Thanks, Andre. I’ll wait patiently.

[il_dandi]

Can you kindly write me at dandiDOTboxATgmailDOTcom??

So I can show you template style

Thanks

I’ve finally managed to import all the posts BUT…

it took so so so long to convert all the data from phpbb3 to wordpress and I had to be very cautious during the process. I had to be careful with my browser window, wordpress session, etc. It reminded me of the times when I had Atari Computer with cassettes. Moreover the restart option didn’t work as described in documents.

I have problem with the “Freshness” of the posts. I cannot correctly synchroniz them. Sometimes it even shows “no topics”. bbPress Recount gives funny effects.

How do I disable the forum/topic description field that show up on top of each forum/topic page?

I thought the code below would work but it doesn’t.

---

/home/www/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/functions.php

---

function bbp_no_get_single_topic_description ($param) {

return true;

}

add_filter ('bbp_get_single_topic_description', 'bbp_no_get_single_topic_description');

Kamikazeek,

This is the best way to add forums

pick a theme that supports menus

1)create a page

2)add page to menu

3)select menu as active

4)add all of the shortcodes from the shortcode sticky thread to your newly created page

5)take out the shortcodes you do not require

Thats the way I do it at least.

Regards

Dennis

I found this page: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes

But when I paste the following on a newly created WordPress page, nothing is displayed:

[bbp-single-forum id=1]

[frooyo]

@Anointed

I can’t find the appropriate short codes to use.

Do you know what they are?

[Dan Milward]

Would you consider making that as a Plugin?

I was talking to a security specialist about this type of thing and he said that a lot of other forum solutions offer this in a comparable fashion. I’m not going to use anything else though… I’m a WordPress guy

[Anointed]

I can relate. I setup a demo site that was not published anywhere. It was basically just my dumping bin to try code in. It got to the point of 500+ spam posts a day so I finally just deleted it.

I have to admit though, I was running open posting with no spam protection, so it was my fault.

My current plan of attack is going to be a little bit different.

I will allow normal signups as usual, however the users will be classified as subscribers and will have zero permissions to post.

Once they are a member, then they will have to go in and fill out yet another page (extended profile page) of information in order to change their status to ‘forum participant’.

On that page I will use honeypots and a few other tricks. This page url will also auto-rotate urls to try and stop some of the automation.

Even then I will set it up so that a person has to have their first post approved by a moderator prior to it becoming visible to the public.

You will not see a users ‘website’ in their profile until they have 10 posts.

Users will not be able to insert any url into their topic/reply until they have at least 5 topics.

I can do that because I have 50+ very active moderators on my site, so there would be little to no delay in their first post being approved.

This won’t stop the manual spam input by humans. For that I am going to have to rely on my moderators.

I have no idea if this will work, but figured I would try it.

No one is going to care about the extra steps involved. And if they do, then I don’t want them in my house anyhow.

[Anointed]

1. No,

2. lack of time, JJ’s busy writing code to improve bbPress so we all benefit.

[Anointed]

The ‘default’ way to do this would be to create a page and place the forums shortcode on the page. Then in the settings/reading assign that page to the front. Of course you would also want to create a blog page and use a blog template for that page in order to display your posts.

Hi All!

I’m getting quite far and have overcome a few problems myself which has been fun, but I am stuck with the style issue.

My theme and test is here: http://www.coffeesocial.co.uk/forums/forum/coffee-social-forum/

I am running a theme called Continuum, with a child theme that adds a few extra bits to the main theme.

I got as far as installing the files from the settings folder into my child theme folder (actually functions.php and style.css were overwritten because Filezilla did not warn me!!!)

Was that supposed to happen? Because it messed up the theme (although bbPress page style looked miles better) it still did not look much better than what it currently is: http://www.coffeesocial.co.uk/forums/forum/coffee-social-forum/

That aside, I went back and replaced the functions and style files with the correct ones from the original child theme to make my website look and function right.

Can I merge the two files style and functions to then include both necesarry code elements to let my theme and bbPress look correct?

It would be stupid to let the bbPress style and funcions overwrite becasue then it would mess up everyones themes. What did you guys do to get it working on a custom theme (i.e. not the one that comes with bbPress).

Cheers
