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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

[il_dandi]

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 ?

[dbrowdy]

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.

[frooyo]

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
