Hello,
I have a website with WordPress as the mainsite and vBulletin as a forum. After doing lots of research on bbPress, I quickly understood that bbPress is far superior for my needs and would fit extremly well 
I do however have one problem, and that is that I have lots of users and posts that I can’t loose. I’d like to transfer my users login info as well as all the posts and threads.
Are there any scripts for converting a vBulletin database to a bbPress database?
Thanks for all help.
how about adding a class to new topic?
a class="button" href="?new=1" id="new-topic-button"
The following lines are probably missing in the danish .po-file (these are in Swedish, you have to change them to Danish):
#: bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php:385
#, php-format
msgid "%d year"
msgid_plural "%d years"
msgstr[0] "%d år"
msgstr[1] "%d år"
#: bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php:386
#, php-format
msgid "%d month"
msgid_plural "%d months"
msgstr[0] "%d månad"
msgstr[1] "%d månader"
#: bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php:387
#, php-format
msgid "%d week"
msgid_plural "%d weeks"
msgstr[0] "%d vecka"
msgstr[1] "%d veckor"
#: bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php:388
#, php-format
msgid "%d day"
msgid_plural "%d days"
msgstr[0] "%d dag"
msgstr[1] "%d dagar"
#: bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php:389
#, php-format
msgid "%d hour"
msgid_plural "%d hours"
msgstr[0] "%d timme"
msgstr[1] "%d timmar"
#: bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php:390
#, php-format
msgid "%d minute"
msgid_plural "%d minutes"
msgstr[0] "%d minut"
msgstr[1] "%d minuter"
#: bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php:391
#, php-format
msgid "%d second"
msgid_plural "%d seconds"
msgstr[0] "%d sekund"
msgstr[1] "%d sekunder"
Very nice redesign! Does make one feel that there is life here and things happening.
Interesting theme, thanks for the update clockworker.
So far i have succeeded by making magento session available in bbPress and adding user of current magento session to bbPress usess db table and logging in that user.
But while trying by approach mentioned in first post i placed the code containing bbPress fiunction calls in php files nothing seems to happen but after placing same code in phtml files i could see some error conditions happening on bbPress side.
The error generated are as :
a:5:{i:0;s:180:”Strict Notice: is_a(): Deprecated
________________________________________
a:5:{i:0;s:215:”Warning: include(WPError.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:wampwwwsvn_awe_homecodemagento-1.4.0.0libVarienAutoload.php on line 93″;i:1;s:4511:”#0 C:wampwwwsvn_awe_homecodemagento-1.4.0.0libVarienAutoload.php(93): mageCoreErrorHandler(2, ‘include(WPErro…’, ‘C:wampwwwsvn…’, 93, Array)

_____________________________________
To remove above mentioned errors do i need to modify bbPress code base or there is something else that can be done?
Or am i going totally wrong way?
Can some body help in getting right approach towards such intergration?
Thanks
This is the solution:
1 – Find topic-tags.php file, in your template folder.
2 – In topic-tags.php file, find this line:
<?php tag_form(); ?>
3 – Above this line, add the following code:
<?php if ( !bb_current_user_can( 'manage_tags' ) ) {return false;} ?>
I hope it is not wrong, I made this change for me and now works …
[EDIT by chrishajer – there is no bbcode here]
Thanks for answer. My second mail already in system thats why it wont change.
@zaerl
Thanks again for your help.
I am fairly familiar with transferring files, but I guess this is beyond me. I looked over the install instructions again I couldn’t find anything relating to this.
I think I’ll just leave the URL as domain.com/bbpress. This isn’t for a business so no one will care what it says!
I may try the name change again before I make the board public! Why not make it even more complicated for myself?
Well, if i look at the list of supported mobile browsers, i don’t think it does.

Why don’t you just hardcode the HTML and point it towards the form handler that you want to process it?
Dynamically getting wordpress and bbPress to play nice together via deep integration can be a bit of a pain especially if you try and make one do the work of the other.
Having tracked code through I ended up in class.bb-query.php
if ( $search ) {
if ( $_post ) {
$s_value = esc_attr( $q_post_text );
$s_name = 'post_text';
$s_id = 'post-text';
} else {
$s_value = esc_attr( $q_search );
$s_name = $s_id = 'search';
}
$r .= "t<div><label for="$s_id">" . __('Search term') . "</label>n";
$r .= "tt<div><input name='$s_name' id='$s_id' type='text' class='text-input' value='$s_value' /></div>n";
$r .= "t</div>nn";
}
Now this is affecting a second search, by changing search to post-text, and the result of a second search is always zero results.
Can anyone explain why, and is there an easy way to change this, or should I just code my own search form?
Specifically about this though, and what’s wrong with it:
<?php require( .$bb_pixpoint_url. '/1.html' );
1. The . before the $bb_ and after the url means “concatenate” or “put together”. So you are putting together nothing, then the variable, then the 1.html. I don’t think it would work, since there is nothing to add to the beginning of the variable. Would probably give a syntax error
2. It’s not really a URL it’s a file system path. So, it’s poorly named.
3. I didn’t try it, but I think it would work otherwise, if you define the variable somewhere first.
I think I would do it like this:
<?php require( "$gerikg_pixopoint_path/chunk1.html" ); ?>
Then define $gerikg_pixopoint_path = '/homepages/32/d84982904/htdocs/example/wp-content/plugins/pixopoint-theme-integrator/';
If you define $gerikg_pixopoint_path in bb-config.php, I think you need to do a global $gerikg_pixopoint_path wherever you want to use the variable. There has to be a better way of doing it. [EDIT]
@kevinjohngallagher with deep integration all I need to do is edit the bbpress theme but with ryan’s plugin I need to edit both WP and bbP themes. The good thing about his plugin that it reduces the load on bbPress. It’s hard to make things automatic because every theme is made differently without a universal structure, it would be nice though.
@chrishajer <?php require( .$bb_pixpoint_url. '/1.html' ); ?> is that how you write it?
Okay so I have realized I do not have the expertise to turn this into a plugin but I can offer some direction and the code I am currently using as the plugin at
http://www.berryreview.com/forums/index.php?ak_action=accept_mobile
The full source of the plugin I hacked can be found at this link along with instructions
http://www.berryreview.com/forums/topic/berryreview-bbpress-forums-mobile-plugin-please-ask-questions-here
Please post questions at that link since there is no way to get notified of replies in the BBPress forums and I don’t have the time to keep checking if there are new questions.
If you just want to download the plugin check it out at
http://www.berryreview.com/forums/Downloads/br-mobile.php.txt
But you will need to read the instructions to get it to work
Sorry I cannot be more help. Really limited on time.
Hi,
I am using geshi library in wordpress for syntax highlighting. This is implemented using a plugin (code colorer).
Geshi library is also used on my bbpress forum (bbpress is not integrated with wp).
I am using sql query to show latest bbpress posts on wp homepage. The issue is that I have to include bb-load.php to run the query, which causes the error that geshi is already included (since wp included it in header).
How to resolve this issue?
One option is to use wp conditionals so that geshi is not loaded when its is_home()
Another way is to use RSS parsing instead of db query to show the forum posts on wp home.
For some reason, I don’t want to use either of them at this time.
So, how can I “unload” geshi.php from wp/bbp on my wp home?
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

<?php<br />
//Put this in someplace obvious<br />
// like the config file<br />
global $path_needed_for_ryans_plugin = "/path/to/stuff/"</p>
<p>?><br />
<?php<br />
global $path_needed_for_ryans_plugin;<br />
require_once( $path_needed_for_ryans_plugin .'1.html' );<br />
?><br />
Infact you’re probably better off doing in it with a “define” but I’ve not used Ryan’s plugin and didn’t want to presume.
Long term though, this should be something the plugin handles itself. After all the point of a plugin, especially one that is meant to make it easier to sort out themes without having to edit them, is ot not edit the themes It’s still a great first step though.
No, it doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe someone else will follow. Or maybe I need more coffee.
Maybe instead of xxxx, since the xxxx is the piece that changes, you define that in a file that is included by all files already (maybe bb-config.php or something that pixopoint includes) and then use the variable everywhere. Similar to how $bb_table_prefix is done:
$bb_pixopoint_url = 'www.examplexxxx.com';
Then use $bb_pixpoint_url in the different locations in the bbPress theme.
I’m trying to see if I can create a theme via pixopoint that works for everyone. It requires you to put
<?php require( 'xxxx/1.html' ); ?>, <?php require( 'xxxx/2.html' ); ?>, <?php require( 'xxxx/3.html' ); ?>, etc. in different locations of the bbPress theme.
The xxxx changes with every server. Instead of finding and replacing all instances of the codes. I wanted to create another file that you can put in the path and it will fill all the xxxx.
Does that make sense?
I’ve tried to load bbpress into wp config via
if ( !defined(‘BBDB_NAME’) )
require_once(ABSPATH.’bbpress/bb-load.php’);
then I call <?php login_form(); ?> into wp template where i want to show it…
it works fine.. but there is a problem…
when i open my wp-admin … all colors and buttons has gone..just wp structure still there..
look at this screenshot
http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/7772/wpadmin.jpg
when I remove this code
if ( !defined(‘BBDB_NAME’) )
require_once(ABSPATH.’bbpress/bb-load.php’);
then admin works fine… but i need this code to show bbpress login/registration into wp..
please guide me where I am wrong…
Thanks
If it’s a fresh install do this:
1) Unzip the bbPress zip file
2) Change the newly created folder name from “bbpress” to “community”
3) Browse to /community and install bbPress
Keep in mind that if you have already installed bbPress on /bbpress you can’t simply rename the folder. If you want to rename it follow these steps:
1) Go to bb-admin/options-general.php and change the bbPress URL to the new one
2) If you have custom permalinks open the .htaccess file (on the forum root folder) and change the RewriteBase directive to RewriteBase /community/
3) Rename the folder
thank you clockworker also thanks to suzkaw (Eric)
