@Durelle I have sent you an email with a fix to the gmail address listed on your site, if you could test this for us that would be great.

[Durelle]

nvm its not i renamed it and tried again and failed.

[Durelle]

I meat all the requirements, now just out of curiosity the bbpress plugin doesnt use mod rewrites right away does it? cause i have a existing folder called “forums” but i dont think thats causing the issue.

[jhodgson]

nevermind, installed phpbb 🙁

OK so I totally spaced and replied on the thread above with this reply first instead of here. Sorry!

Thanks for the thread netweb my concern is definitely performance number one. But point well taken optimization is always first and foremost no matter what size the site is.

I had to ask because there are so many articles and threads on how to accomplish the multi-login scenario none of them are without issues. I’m really not looking to complicate or increase my workload.

You made some real valid points and have helped narrow down my decision making a whole bunch. I have found that keeping things as simple as we can really works out for the best in the long run in most cases.

Rock on with the bbpress project, I love my phpbb, been using them for 10 years. It’s time to try something new. I do like its simplicity and it’s come a long way from almost a year ago when I looked at it.

Thanks for your time and help

[Durelle]

Can you double check what version of bbPress you are using… V2.1.2 included a patch that specifically addressed the issue you are having with class names being case sensitive.

[onomoney]

Hi I have not built the site as of yet I do have several domains i use to build and test stuff though on our server.

Scenario: I build a WPMU site on the main domain then I add a sub-folder for bbpress is there a way / or thread here explaining how I can have separate databases and one login for both sites? I would like to keep the databases separated so as we grow and I need to separate things it would simplify things as far as moving and using a couple different servers.

So WP-1 with MU and / subfolder WP-2 with bbpress / 2 databases on the same account, one login for both.

I have to say this it took two weeks to figure it all out. But bbpress is prety awesome even after over 10 years of phpbb, I think you have something awesome here, Thanks!

One more thing, is there a way to set the notify tic box to “auto notify” and tic of you don’t want notified?
Thanks again!

[Durelle]

Sorry for the double post but im on phpBB 3.0.10

[Durelle]

I chose phpBB
and did the import that worked fine

then i repaired the tables as it didnt show the topics if i dont.
http://durelle.me/PSD/dotax/derp1.png
http://durelle.me/PSD/dotax/derp2.png
and that worked fine
http://durelle.me/PSD/dotax/derp3.png

the Users are showing up fine as well
WP
http://durelle.me/PSD/dotax/derp4.png
DB
http://durelle.me/PSD/dotax/derp5png

But if i try to log into a imported user i get the following error.

Warning: require_once(bbp-converter.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/durelle/dotaxhazard/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-user-functions.php on line 1466

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘bbp-converter.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/durelle/dotaxhazard/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-includes/bbp-user-functions.php on line 1466

Any suggestions, is there a link i can change, im comfortable in changing php i just need to know what lines to replace with what.

hi all!

i have strange bug

1. i converted phpBB to bbpress with users – all was fine

2. but – users cant log in with old phpBB passwords

3. sou i found, that:

$converter = bbp_new_converter( $row->meta_value );
var_dump($converter);

says, that it can’t connect to database;

var_dump($wpdb) shows correct passwords

but bbp_new_converter object cant connect to database …

[“error”]=> object(WP_Error)#1764 (2) { [“errors”]=> array(1) { [“db_connect_fail”]

anyone can help ???

[John James Jacoby]

What error do your users get?

[Stephen Edgar]

@Durelle You will need to provide much more detailed information to help you with this.

What version of phpBB are you importing from?

At what step did the conversion fail?

Did it complete and users just cannot login?

What are all the option values you used to perform the import? (ie. Did you check the ‘Convert Users’ field?)

[Andre]

I won’t be much help with the error.

This page describing the bbPress core implies that there are notes on how to import from vBulletin, stating:

> Import Forums
>
> Published on July 3rd, 2012 by netweb Supported Platforms bbPress v1.x
> phpBB v.3.x (For Invision or vBulletin see notes below.)

But there are no “notes below” that reference vBulletin. Does bbPress support vBulletin import?
