Hiya,
I just worked it out for myself!
If you download the bbVideo plugin, then edit the file provider.inc.php and add the following at the end :
'soundcloud' => array(
'width' => '620',
'height' => '81',
'pattern' => 'soundcloud.com/(.*)/(.*?)/',
'index' => 1,
'code' => '<object height="[HEIGHT]" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http://soundcloud.com/[ID]/"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="[HEIGHT]" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http://soundcloud.com/[ID]/" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object>',
'page_url' => 'http://www.soundcloud.com/'
)

I am using 1.1x. I was able to successfully convert to phpBB. You can see the converted forum here:
http://leftcoastlogic.com/forum/phpbb/
I have full admin access to this, and checked that the tables, topics, posts and users were all successfully converted to phpbb.
I then downloaded the phpbb-to-bbpress script from code.google.com (per other posts here):
http://code.google.com/p/phpbb3-to-bbpress1-converter/
Following instructions, I began the conversion and it stepped through the process. It appeared to have completed the “converting posts” step, although the last step had some strange text:
View post on imgur.com
I then proceeded to the next step, “convert users data”, and got this error message:
View post on imgur.com
I then tried to run the script a second time, and got this error message:
View post on imgur.com
So, I guess I’m not having much luck converting my phpBB forum to bbPress. Any suggestions?

Hi 
Nothing exists yet, but there is an approximate game-plan for the bbPress plugin once it’s released. We’ve tried to keep everything phpDoc’ed in the plugin, so step one will be getting developers to reference that + trac. Step two will be getting bbPress.org to use the plugin version of bbPress, and then use a multisite instance of WordPress to manage the individual languages and codex. That’s probably a few months out though, realistically.

I’m new to bbPress, but a longtime WordPress developer. One of my favorite things about WordPress is the extensive Codex and documentation of the core functions. My question is two-fold.
First, does any documentation of the built-in functions exist? Second, how can I contribute to the documentation? I know the plugin version is about to go into Alpha release, so perhaps I’m better off contributing when that comes out?
Jaja: The plugin in the WordPress Plugin repository has not yet been updated. You can svn checkout it via this link: http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/branches/plugin or click the download as zip archive link here.
Theoretically, it sounds easy. You set up a bbPress forum and let users register on it. Then when you setup a WP blog, make it use the bbPress tables and then integrate the cookies by the normal process. Never tried it practically.

Hi,
I have the following scenario: Members of my club is crying for a forum to offload our mailinglist. In the works is also a new club blog platform but that is going to take a while. So what I want to do is:
1. Install/Set up bbPress standalone.
2. Let users register
3. Use the bbPress forum
3. When the new WP based blog is good to go, Install WP and share the db with bbPress. The main thing here is that users should be able to continue using their credentials in WP too.
4. Use WP and bbPress in harmony happily ever after
From what I have gathered (reading docs and forum posts) this is at least theoretically possible. But is it plausible? Has anyone done it this way (bbPress first, then WP)? Please feel free to tell my why it is a really bad idea (if it is).
I always have the option to argue that the club should wait with the forum until the WP blog is up an running. But if it is possible I would like to start the forum asap.
All input is welcome
pkiula: You would need to write a plugin on your own for that. Just check the code related to that, and find & use the hooks nearby.

alaskanvwnut: Yes, but you would need to write a plugin for hiding the posts from logged out users in the first case.

@willabee – Don’t move any files anywhere. Just activate bbPress and see how it fits on your site. If it doesn’t, use the bbp-twentyten theme. It puts itself in your list of available themes even though it’s in the plugins folder
@Rick Lewis – I’ll post a new topic tonight with instructions on how to test.
