this is it I did the same way as it shown upove change it sometimes

I left the database collate type as it was and change it

with all the change I made I couldn’t get through

thank aloooooooooot for your help

If you open up bb-config.php in your bbpress directory, you can edit it manually and add the database host setting.

/** MySQL hostname */

define( 'BBDB_HOST', 'localhost' );

Change localhost there to whatever host your hosting company told you to use for the database. You should be able to continue installation from there. You might need to restart the installation.

Sweet as refueled, how long do you think it will be available? I’m hoping it’s going to be free?

Reminder to whomever is doing the subtle fixes I am seeing, the backtick/code tag is still broken here.

example:

testing code, fixed? <?php if (2>1) {echo "testing";} ?>

you should not see &gt/&lt/&quot or multiple ;;; in the above example.

In fact even outside of backticks there is still a htmlentity encoding problem

[_ck_]

The directory is above site root by default but you can put it anywhere if you don’t care about security. The way WP does it is completely insecure on shared servers. Any chmod 777 folder under the webroot is a beautiful target for evil hackers.

A small percentage of people still seem to have problems with the install routine that is supposed to run upon activation and create the table. I had to use a workaround because of a bug with 0.8 and IIs users but that may break it for other people, especially with 1.0

you can try replacing the bb_register_activation_hook line with the conventional line that might finally be working correctly under 1.x

bb_register_plugin_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'bb_attachments_install');

Keep in mind I have not updated bb-attachment in over a year due to a lack of donations, so feel free to write your own. Keep in mind whatever you write will not be compatible/necessary with the eventual version of bbpress that runs as a WP plugin.

I’m clueless about attatchements from anything to bbPress sadly; but that bbCode plugin works a treat

[Andrea.Dintino]

Kevin: like this one -> https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbcode-lite/faq/

are you aware of a way to handle the attachments?

Numediaweb: thanks a lot for your effort, much appreciated!

I’ve been fighting with phpbb for a few days now, it’s leaking everywhere now and I can’t wait to get rid of it

Thanks everybody!

Hi,

I have the same proble as gerikg: the “Chunks of text to remove” boxes numbers keep increasing but no php-code is generated. As well no html-file or any files from pixopoint are generated in the Worpdress upload-folder.

Any idea why?

Cheers,

Thomas

[kevinjohngallagher]

it doesn’t parse the bbcode inside posts (meaning that all the links inside the posts are gone)

Is the bbcode still present in the bbPress database?

if so, then there are a few bbCode parsers for bbPress availible. I know Matt doesn’t like it, and therefore we are the only forum that won’t support it, but i think it only slows adoption

[kevinjohngallagher]

Well, I’m not sure where to report this, but I found a bug with bbpress deep integration with wordpress when the wp-super cache wordpress plugin is installed and activated.

bbpress deep integration is not supported, so I’d report this to the WordPress Plugin Developer, and hopefully they’ll add something to the FAQ

[Andrea.Dintino]

Hi numediaweb,

first of all thank you for the script: it does everything it promises and it’s easy to use

Non surprisingly it still seems to lack a few feature which are probably very hard to develop: it doesn’t parse the bbcode inside posts (meaning that all the links inside the posts are gone) and it doesn’t convert the attachments…

I hope someone will find the time to implement those, as I believe they’re necessary to properly move a forum from one software to another.

Our forum is here

But thanks again anyway

[_ck_]

It’s good that bbpress is still somewhere in the list but don’t kid yourself, you won’t see bbPress as a stable WP plugin this year. It would take a great deal of work to make it happen, Matt would have to assign a dedicated coder which he is not likely to do.

Even if all backward compatibility was completely ignored (which will likely happen) it still could not likely be released this year.

Sam indirectly helped quite a bit by all his work in making 1.x use backpress but there will still have to be major refactoring. JJJ’s plugin attempt still uses backpress. But they can’t do that as an official WordPress plugin, the overhead would be staggering and would instantly get a bad reputation.

I am begging anyone that will listen to NOT call it bbPress because there will be major confusion. There will be nearly ZERO compatibility with all previous bbPress themes, plugins and advice. The entire bbpress.org forum will become a mess of tangled support questions for standalone vs plugin version questions.

Then there will be bbPress plugins that are actually installed into WordPress to supplement bbPress. That will certainly confuse newbies.

Just call it the wp-forums plugin or something like that and make a sub-forum for support on WP.org – leave bbpress.org for the standalone version.

[wtfmatt]

sure am glad we need to play detective to know 2 cents about anything regarding bbpress.

@yutt, your wish will be granted soon enough, don’t worry. actually, matt probably won’t start this site over (bbpress.org). he will just delete it forever, along with all content and standalone packages.

then, he will probably steal half of _ck_’s code (along with a few others), silently, without any acknowledgement.

which is why, regardless of how anyone feels about matt or a plugin or whatever, there should be a fork of some kind for bbpress. at least we can preserve a standalone version and work out some kinks and have a safety net setup before matt blows us into oblivion.

@kevin, what do u mean? the 1.1 fixes are cuz the majority of ppl who install bbpress support a standalone version. why give up now?

and the next person who says “screw a standalone, bbpress isn’t meant as a standalone” needs to save their breath.

also what’s with all the vanilla salesmen? the whole point is that bbpress could be the best standalone forum software out there, esp. when you factor in the fact that along the road of many web projects some devs will decide they want to tie it in with wordpress at some point.

ABOUT

A script to help you convert you phpbb3 (version 3.0.7) forum to bbpress (version:1.0.2) forum. This code is an update to the code made by wmnasef (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb3-gt-bbpress-converter-beta-release).

GET IT @

http://code.google.com/p/phpbb3-to-bbpress1-converter/

BUGS CORRECTED

* works with bbpress 1.0.2

* corrects the single quote problem

* corrects the login problem

HOW TO INSTALL

1. make a backup from your online forum (if possible make an exact copy of your forum in your localhost server, this prevents any damage to the online forum).

2. install bbpress anywhere, just use the same database of phpbb3. this is important because the script assumes that all tables are in the same database.

3. download the script from here. extract it, and you’ll get 2 files.

4. copy the file phpbb3tobbpress.php to “phpbb3/” directory.

5. copy the file _phpbb3_pass.php to bbpress/my-plugins/ directory (if it doesn’t exist, create it!).

6. go to http://path-to-phpbb3/phpbb3tobbpress.php and start converting your board.

7. voila .. all your data is converted to bbpress tables, go to your bbpress installation and login. don’t forget to visit admin->manage->recount to make sure your converted board is updated.

As said before, it is advised to copy your phpbb3 forum to a localhost installation and make the conversion as stated in the steps above, this way if you have big forum with thousands of posts, it is easier and safer to run the conversion on localhost.

Hope this helps and thanx to the original poster.

Tested by http://numediastudio.com for http://forumcine.ma

[Abdessamad Idrissi]

I updated the current code and hosted it under google code at http://code.google.com/p/phpbb3-to-bbpress1-converter/

now it works with bbpress 1.0.2 and phpbb 3.0.7

have fun! and thanx original poster: wmnasef

bb_auth calls bb_validate_auth_cookie, which calls WP_Auth::validate_auth_cookie, which uses a variable defined in bb-settings.php. The cookies you can check for are auth and logged_in, with auth automatically switching to secure_auth if you’re on SSL.

[curtisdroppelman]

I started coding a plugin to do exactly what I asked before, I found this page very helpful. https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo

I’ll post a link to the plugin when I’m finished.

Hi,

I have bbpress deeply integrated with WordPress but I am unable to register. Here’s my website forum: http://itracki.com/forum

When I try to register, it says that “email is required” even though I have clearly inputted an email. Is anyone else having this problem? Help?

Thanks

[kevinjohngallagher]

(post too old as I pressed Edit – sorry)

=======================================================================

Edit: To answer John:

It wasn’t a dig at Sam mate. Not at all. I wasn’t a fan of Sam’s management style here, but felt he got dealt a difficult hand to play with the backPress 180 on him, and I’m a very big fan of his code in 1.0. The bbPulp site did become a pron site while an Automattic employee, and again, if there had been a post that it wasn’t going to be renewed so that anyone who wanted the data could copy it and start it again – bam, problem solved.

If it looked like, or was taken as a sly dig at Sam, i apologise entirely, it wasn’t meant that way.

Take Jane@wordpress’s post that started all of these questions. She’s giving people a heads up. She’s spreading information out to the community, so at least interested parties can answer general questions. Information then Action works best, the people at Automattic taught me that, because the do it so very well with WordPress

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

@nehagoyal

and we are talking of bb_auth() here. Aren’t we?

[hpguru]

What point use today bbPress standalone, if bbPress plugin is made soon? I wait it, because i and my users need plugin forum to my WordPress. In my forum bbPress is very fast and good but i delete it some months ago because 200 members doesn’t post more than 1-10 messages per week…

Per day 50-100 unique and nothing from AdSense. My blog AdSense is 100 €/month and 1 000 unique per day. I think plugin is better for unique to forum and for good AdSense to forum.

[_KB_]

I saw that bbpress is now making a plugin instead of standalone install.

So What should I do? I’m on the final stage to launch my site where I’ve used almost 100 plus bbpress standalone installs.

So here are my question?

1. Will New plugin meet my site’s criteria?

2. Will bbpress.org will closed after plugin’s announcement?

3. Will bbPress Standalone shutdown after plugin’s availability?

4. Can We will easily able to switch from standalone to plugin without data losing?

5. is there a function to launch multiple boards like wpmu?

because I’m using multiple installs for my various boards.

6. will there need for integration specially ( cookies integration ) with this new plugin.

7. what about bbPress plugins? after bbpress plugin version will they all useless?

8. Or we will be able to use bbpress standalone plugins with bbpress plugin software?

9. Should I launch my site or still wait for plugin availability?

10. When this bbpress plugin version will be available for public?

Do you people have answers for these questions?

Do you people have any suggestions for my site?

Do you people have any ideas how can I achieve bbpress multiuser like WPMU functionality? after plugin’s availability??

I’m really afraid, I really don’t know what to do right now.

I’m working on my site from almost last 10 months. I don’t want to lose everything if this plugin will be launched, Is it possible? Because I was working with bbpress Standalone Version.

I hope you people will guide me Now what to do….

Thanks

Regards

woah woah woah (sweet child of mine)

There’s no doubt we’re doing exceptionally well in how far we’ve come with this, especially given that the Project Lead left 4 months ago, but we’re not anywhere near that stage.

1.0 had 10 alphas (though pre-Alpha6 was massively different to Alpha7-10).

It had no beta’s. It had 1 RC which was turned into an actual release 7 days later with minimal bug fixes, and we’ve been stuck with these bugs for a year because of it.

If you want to help, and it’s awesome you do, please download the latest nightly build from the Trunk and report bugs like mad.

There should be no real alpha/beta/rc packages until we’ve squashed all the existing tickets (possible exception to backPress reliant ones).

The moer bugs we find now (in the nightly builds) the more confident we’ll all be in the Alphas that we put out there

And Gautam, excellent work once again.
