I am starting a new Web-site and the client wants a forum. I downloaded the wpbbpress Plug in. I added the widget for the login to my sidebar and I Created the First Forum and a topic for that forum. NOW WHAT?

Where is a list of the shortcodes?

HELP????

[whatisajess]

I tried displaying the reply form in my WordPress theme’s single.php file by putting [bbp-reply-form] but it just outputs [bbp-reply-form] as text on the site.
I am using the “bbPress Topics for Posts” plugin to automatically create a new topic with every new post and I want to display the latest replies as well as the reply form under the article but it only displays the replies, not the form. So I thought by adding the shortcode, I would get the form but that didn’t work.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks so much in advance!

Guys,

I am starting a social networking site using buddypress and I am also a premium member for WPMUDEV.  However I have different requirement, I want to allow users registered as ‘”agents”” to sell their products to the registered users of my social network. Such that I want to give agents separate login and their own dashboard with all the standard e-commerce stats/reports/affiliate tools and also let them add products on the site, with predefined categories (admin will add these categories) etc.

So, once agents are done adding their products user can search them and also be able to compare and pay for the product, add coupon codes etc and checkout pay for their purchase, receiver email, all standard features.

That”s not all I also have requirement to let admin add ”additional services” on the top of user purchase not coming from agents but from the site admin himself.  I know I have lots of customization to do here, but could you please suggest any e commerce solution that fits this requirement, I think MarketPress is quite not what I am looking and cannot do all this.

I am now looking at Woo commerce but that something I want some feedback, even a paid plugin is fine with me but that should not be complex and easy to customize with its own theme.

Any advice or you think Marketpress can be customized for this. I am open for suggestions.

Looks like the conversion hangs around 13,000 replies …. I have about 20,000 more to go. It definitely slows down near the end.

If it hangs and appears that nothing is progressing, click ‘stop’, wait a minute to give your webhost a moment to finish anything it might be doing, click ‘start’ and it should resume from where it left off. Take note of the step and count of where it was up to so after importing you can check that for example all replies between 13,400 & 13,499 have indeed been imported.

However, the posts that do end up getting converted look beautiful.

Cool, took a while to get to this point but quite satisfied with the results.

My only guess is the scrubbing process is taking a lot more resources than before this beta version? Any insights would be much appreciated

There have been no changes to the actual converter, only the importer. Granted that the import now imports more phpBB fields than it did previously but this should make only a small increase to the SQL query performance.

As each topic or reply is imported it is parsed with ~30 regex strings to convert the BBCodes, I haven’t done any benchmarks but presumably this has some impact.

My base phpBB database import I have used for the past 6 months to test with is around ~6000 topics and 30,000 replies and I haven’t really noticed much of an impact during what I would say has been ~100 imports.

Also, I’ve noticed that there seems to be only two levels of hiearchy that gets converted … Categories and 1 level of forums below that. Nested forums within forums in phpbb don’t get pulled in? It’s okay for me either way because i’ll modify my forum structure before importing them.

That should work fine, I tested things to a depth of 4 with a forums hierarchy based on the ‘‘nested set model’.

[Stephen Edgar]

The good thing though is that the majority of what is included in the 2.3 update can be used manually on your MySQL database to convert the BBCodes & Magic URL’s to WordPress friendly HTML.

I just haven’t written any docs on this yet, I also haven’t actually done it on a site I desperately need to do this with. Hopefully in the next couple of days I can get some time to get this started.

[Stephen Edgar]

All the BBCodes and Magic URL’s are fully converted to HTML in the upcoming bbPress 2.3

There is no current way to rerun it though to convert existing sites.

Hi

I have done a search here, but nothing seems to come up.
I have installed BBpress/BuddyPress and migrated a small phpBB forum on my site http://www.wisemonkeysblog.com but the phpBB shortened URLs (and actually all the phpBB shortcodes) didn’t convert. I have tried to use a couple of plugins (eg bbPress2 BBCode ) to no avail.

I notice that the actual URL is still there in the markup, so I have converted a few of them manually…but there must be a better way. A plugin or a SQL fix perhaps.

Does anyone know of such fix?

TIA

Hello,
As per bbpress doc I found by default it uses page.php in wordpress theme to render all its contents. But since I have to use different template with a different sidebar and widgets I created forum.php copied from page.php in my wp-theme and luckily it worked. Dont know why its not mentioned in bbpress docs. Also, forums.php working fine, so I am in more doubt which file naming conventions is correct. Is it something missed to mention in bbpress docs? Please let me know.

Further, for the bbpress user pages, like profile, edit profile, topic started etc. I need to use a custom template file in my theme. In bbpress templates as per documentation, I have checked all user templates inside are just contains the content part only not including header, footer, sidebar etc. And by default it also renders by page.php.

How can I make a custom user template file other than page.php or forum.php which control all user related contents, so that I can have different template for forum or other pages?

Suggestion:
BBpress should have capability to use different template files for different kind of pages, or their should be settings in bbpress admin to select which template to use for what kind of pages.
This is somewhat, wp-members, woocommerce and other plugins do for better integration in wordpress. These plugins have the ability to create different pages in admin editor having selected particular template to render and putting inside their shortcodes to render various types of contents. And also have the settings in their admin to set different pages/template for different stuff.

Please let me know if this possible with bbpress 2.2.4 with wp 3.5.1 currently.
If not possible please let me know how I can achieve the effect, with some sample custom code hints. Currently I dont need help to create bbpress admin side settings dropdown etc., becoz these are the thing I mentioned as suggestions to make bbpress better theme compatible.
Right now, just need help how to use different template for user pages than other forum pages.

I see you have a ‘register’ and ‘login’ page using the shortcodes, if you want something in the sidebar you could use the login widget https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/

[knussear]

Ah – I spoke too soon. You saved me at 18:33 with the short codes! Thanks a bunch @labsecrets

[Stephen Edgar]

Sounds like we need a bbPress widget for topic tags…

https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/

Maybe create a ticket in trac https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/

[Stephen Edgar]

Create a new WordPress page called ‘New Topic’ and add the shortcode [bbp-topic-form] to the page content.

https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/ & https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/

[Fabrizio Pivari]

I want to use [bbp-topic-tags] in the column of WP but it doesn’t seem to work in a normal widget for html

[Giannis Giaou]

Hello everyone.

I would like to know if its possible to provide custom information with shortcodes.

For example i made  a static homepage with [bbp-forum-index]  shortcode in there,

is it possible to provide only the Topics & Posts counts and not the Freshness information?

Thank you in advance.

 

[Stephen Edgar]

A couple of options:

• Add a link in your menu to http://www.amanofreason.com/forums/
• Add some widgets to your sidebar https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
• Add some shortcodes to your WP pages https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes

[brokentwig]

I’m not 100% confident “Banned” are Role 1, and “Confirm Email” are Role 3 on all Vanilla databases. Due to the complexity, I think it should be left out. I posted my SQL queries in your codex codes under the “Notes” section. Feel free to tweak my comments to your style.

Maybe you can help me with the password checker. It looks like I can reference the entire record row using the callback methods in the converter code. I just don’t know what to do if the password type isn’t a Vanilla password. What is the proper action here, and is this code/syntax correct?

` public function callback_cleanpass( $password, $row) {
if ($row[‘HashMethod’] == ‘Vanilla’) {
return $password;
} else {
return ?????;
}
}`

Monica,

Sorry nothing new to report on a fix yet…

Btw, I’ve set this as private b/c I didn’t see a way to have people log in, so this would only be available to members. Don’t know if this is part of the issue.

With that above from your first post in mind, is it important your forums stay private or having them publicly accessible would not be an issue? If public is not a problem, try this:

If you leave the ‘category’ set as ‘private’ but change the two forums you have under this category from ‘private’ to ‘public’, I just tested this and it appears to be working.
(You can also change the parent category to public also and it won’t trigger the bug)

Back to the quote above you can use the `[bbp-login]` shortcode ona page or the login widget in your sidebar.

[Shane Gowland]

You can forums to existing WordPress pages using bbPress various shortcodes.

[Stephen Edgar]

At this stage I haven’t seen anyone mention anything about converting to BuddyPress ‘Group Forums’

With some theme customization you could make it appear that you have two lots of forums by putting each into their own ‘parent category’ and using shortcodes to only display each ‘category’ in specific areas of your site.
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

The other way is to go WordPress Multisite and have a  separate site for your ‘support’ side of things.

To customize bbPress as a support forum check this great tutorial by @mordauk http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/plugins/using-bbpress-as-a-support-forum/

[Stephen Edgar]

What’s next? What works and doesn’t work?

• Is the imported forum hierarchy and order correct?
• Sticky topics, eg ‘sticky’ and/or ‘global sticky’ topics?
• Open or closed topics?
• Does Mingle use BBCodes eg [b]blod[/b] and do we need to convert them from custom HTML to WordPress/bbPress friendly HTML? If so what BBCodes does Mingle use?

Are there any other forums, topics or replies behaviour that has not been imported?

[common8308]

Thanks for the kind reply @lynq.

As you suggested, I changed some bbp template codes in my custom theme, removing all the author data and user-id class in the reply loop template so that one specific public forum could look like it’s working as anonymous one for logged in users…

It looked as if it’s working fine as an intended anonymous forum.. and just found the biggest problem is that all those posts are shown in activity stream.
(I’m also using Buddypress as other users do.)

I tried to fix the buddypress activity template to not display the anonymous forum’s contents, but it doesn’t seem buddypress activity template is controlled by bbp_forum_id or bbp_topic_id.. can someone give a clue about solving this problem?

[Stephen Edgar]

Create a WordPress page called ‘Support’ and use the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode on that page.
