Thanks. I searched for this code and can’t find it. I can see lots of style.css files. Is it the file in the main directory or in my Themes folder.

Thanks kindly!

When I deleted the line 2: require_once (‘admin.php’);

I now get the error that you currently see on the site

http://www.MichiganPokerNews.com

Which is:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_forums() in /home/content/m/i/c/michiganpoker/html/bb-admin.php on line 4

Line 4 code currently reads:

$forums = bb_get_forums();

thoughts?

Here’s a list of bbPress professionals, although I don’t know how many of them have done development:

http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/bbpress-professionals-advertise-in-this-topic

The most prolific developers are _ck_ and Nightgunner5.

Nightgunner5 has written 9 plugins that I’m aware of (I use two of them, and they are excellent):

https://bbpress.org/plugins/profile/nightgunner5

_ck_ is by far the most prolific developer, with 60 plugins:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/profile/_ck_

But according to that link above on bbshowcase (her site), she’s not available right now. If you have a larger budget though, it might be worth dropping her a line and seeing if she’s open to it.

You might also try Ivan here:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/

If there are active plugin developers that I’ve missed, please let cupra know in the comments!

Good luck! And if you’re open to contributing any custom plugins to the plugin section when you’re done, that’d be great! I’d be glad to help test the plugin…

[aequity]

Thanks John: Before I move forward, I went to the site and here’s the code on line 2:

require_once(‘admin.php’);

I notice, looking through the file list both on my computer and on the remote site that there is no file labelled “admin.php”.

Could that be the problem? I’m using a 5.* version of php if that helps.

Also, the only file thats a “home” or “index” file is index.php….

Hope this may help you pinpoint the problem a bit. Thanks, A.

[cupra]

I see. That makes sense. Are there any developers here in this forum with a good reputation who could be recommended? I’m very new here, and I’d rather hire someone who regularly contributes here than just anyone on a rent-a-coder type site. I would really appreciate being pointed in the right general direction.

[dikkevandale]

No specific solution

[Shagalaga]

ooook it works all fine, but how can i achieve that bbcode light, images and emoticons to work on the portal?

[chrishajer]

Because you have this in your style.css:

.entry ol li {

line-height:140%;

padding:0 0 1em 0;

list-style-position: inside;

list-style-type:decimal;

}

to get rid of it, change the last line to this:

list-style-type:none;

[dikkevandale]

I don’t want to show the bbpress profile only, instead I want everything that is shown on the bbpress profile to be shown on the wordpress user profile. Is this possible?

WP User Profile

Forum stats:

blabla

All on 1 profilepage.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

This might be a cleaner solution

<?php

switch ( $topic->forum_id ) { // Ignore these forums

case 29:

case 30:

case 18:

case 15:

case 4:

continue 2;

}

?>

or for including only certain forums

switch ( $topic->forum_id ) { // Include only these forums

case 29:

case 30:

case 18:

case 15:

case 4:

break;

default:

continue 2;

}

?>

but using that if statement, you need to change the line

<?php if( $topic->forum_id != 29 && $topic->forum_id != 30 && $topic->forum_id != 18 && $topic->forum_id != 15 && $topic->forum_id != 4 )

and you can find the forum ID from looking at its Edit URL in the admin panel (under Forums)

The name of the theme is at the top of style.css – you can change it to something memorable there.

Theme Name: InvTrdr Custom Theme

You can change other lines in that theme header if you want, but this one is the major one.

You can also replace screenshot.png in your theme folder with something that will visually identify the theme for you when you’re working in the admin.

[chrishajer]

Add the code to your sidebar.php, just follow the same format as the other two boxes that are there. Then put your code in between the opening and closing tags. It would be a new block of code looking something like this:

<!-- ads START -->

<div class="widget">

<h3>Please visit our sponsors</h3>

MHYD PASTE AD CODE HERE

<div class="fixed"></div>

</div><!-- end widget -->

<!-- ads END -->

Just put that wherever you want in the sidebar, before or after whatever else is there. Just make sure you don’t post it into the middle of some other div and break the sidebar.

I don’t know of a bbPress theme with the concept of widgets. So you’ll have to edit sidebar.php manually to achieve what you want.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

You don’t need to uninstall to move bbPress as such, since it’s not installed in any way apart from the the .htaccess file settings and the database settings.

You need to change the uri setting under bb_meta in the database to the new forum URL, and then change the .htaccess file so it matches the new directory.

The .htaccess file can probably be fixed by turning off Permalinks and then back on. Don’t forget to log out and in again too.

The options might be changeable by using __ck__’s All Options, but I have a feeling the URI isn’t editable from there.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Edit the style.css file in the copy, that’s where all the name/description data is stored

[CraigElias]

OK so I got lucky and remove the line of code in my config file and was able to get back into the directory location and move things back to the way they were.

Now I just need to give this to someone who knows what they are doing to move it where I want.

Wow i’ve just found sth

http://www.bbportal.org/

it has some bugs, but is quiet good, unfortunately this project seems to be abandoned

[Jiyong]

Ho nice, verry verry nice but …

i edit ► $unread_posts=

includ : .”.topic_icons {filter : alpha(opacity=100); -moz-opacity : 100; opacity : 100; }”

But it does not work

change another code ?

[ZoiX]

johnhiler, thank you for all your help

[johnhiler]

Ah got it. The checkboxes are a way for you to tell bbPress which stats to recount… once the recount is done, all checkboes are unchecked – so you can specify once again which stats you’d like to be counted next time.

If you have any more questions, please create a new thread and we’ll try to help you out there!

[ZoiX]

Glad it worked out. That plugin was by _ck_, so you might want to send her a donation if you have the funds.

Yes, I will do. I have many plugins from _ck_ and is time to say thank you.

I’m not following your question about checkboxes and Tools/Options?

Look an image.

Before that, I was check the two first options, but, after save, the checkboxes appear without check. Mmh, I am not sure if you understand me :S

Hello,

It is possible to change the opacity of the icon. If there is a new post 100%, otherwise 50%?

thanks

Hi sbricchiLIN, I did come up with a solution to migrate a forum from YAF to bbPress.

But I had to do a 3 step migration to do it: YetAnotherForum to vBulletin to phpBB to bbPress.

It’s a tedious process, and not perfect, but I got the forums converted!

Basically, in all my research the only converter for YetAnotherForum.NET that I could find it vBulletin. So that’s the first step. unfortunately it is commercial, and closed source, but a $100 is much cheaper than paying someone to convert it for you!

vBulletin has a tool called ImpEx that can import a YAF forum into vBulletin. But it is tricky since YAF uses MSSQL, and you want to convert to MySQL on vBulletin. I did all this on my local machine running Windows, with a MSSQL server to run the YAF database and WAMP to run vBulletin.

I did not have YAF installed locally and running, just the database. You probably want to get your YAF forums running on a local Windows machine as a first step. The YAF to vBulletin importer is old and totally unsupported, so it is crude, but better than nothing. I was only able to import about 80% of my forum content, and I lost a user account. But one user out of 600 seemed a small price to pay.

I think the loses were due to funky characters and long titles, so if you have a local install of YAF, you can fix those things before you import.

After you get the data into vBulletin, it is a much smoother process. There is of course a lot of converters for phpBB, and converting from phpBB to bbPress is pretty easy.

In the end, the migration went ok, I had some issues with the HTML code in the posts, had to convert some characters in the database, and install some plugins so that the HTML content in the old posts would work in bbPress. But it was all worth it to get away from YAF, the forum members all seem to be happy with the new forum, no complaints, just a few feature requests.

I have really been meaning to do several blog posts explaining how to do all this cause it’s one hell of a project, but who ever has the time to do everything they want to?

If anyone else takes the plunge and tries to migrate from YAF to bbPress and has any specific questions, let me know and I’d be happy to try and give a hand!

[ZoiX]

johnhiler, I am not using the plugin, I deactivate all plugins and the problem persist. Anyway, I have installed the plugin but without good results.

chandersbs, the problem is that if I am in page 2, the link to page 1 show me again the page 2.

I can’t found “turn off url rewrite”, can you help me?

Thank you for your help

The problem was the permalink, if the first option (Nothing) is activated everything ok. Can I repair this? I really like the last option

Jmm, now I have 3 pages (5 posts per page), the link to page 1 show me the page where I am. If I am in page 3, link to page 1 show me the page 3, again. If I am in page 2, link to page 1 show me the page 2.

I will install in local without plugins and I will see what happen.

In localhost works good :S
