Okay….let’s imagine for a minute that I’m 10 years old.

LOL Can you explain how I would do that? Where do I place addslashes? In phpbbtobbpress.php? If so where? I’m really not good at this. It’s completely Greek to me.

[matiaspunx]

yeah you need to use the addslash function to insert data in your db…

I think you need to edit the phpbbtobbpress.php

When I tried to convert my forum, I got this error:

General Error

Do you know what the problem might be? Maybe it’s an easy fix, but I’m a novice. Thank you.

@chrishajer

That solutions seems to be for bbpress 1.0 alpha…

i’m making a new install with a new phpbb import ’cause i have no way to login as key master…

[_ck_]

So don’t upgrade to 1.0 alpha? You should not be using the alpha on a live site.

So there is a solid phpbb conversion routine now for phpbb users?

That is good news.

[matiaspunx]

yeah, im looking at the users table and every field is filled right.

I convert from phpbb with bbpress 0.9.0.4 everything works fine. Then i upgrade to 1.0-Alpha-6 and everything works wrong

there are some NEW tables like term_taxonomy with 1 row only, just my user is ported to term_relashionships table, i dont have many knowledge with mysql, what im doing wrong?

[matiaspunx]

Hi, i have import from phpbb and i have my db table users with 6.300 rows but in dashboard i just see me.

EX:

You have 54 forums. There are 8992 topics with 92919 posts by 1 user.

What im doin bad?

Thanx in advance!

[gadgets]

It’s work good thank you.

[copperblade]

Yeah in phpBB there is a user setting where they can state that they want to automatically subscribe to any topic they reply.

[copperblade]

Ok, I’ll take a look at that. I’m actually planning on converting my phpBB2 forum over instead of moving to phpBB3. I have made mods for phpBB2 and would like to make the same plugins for bbPress, but not if they already exist.

HI sway,

I dont think it does work like that. It’s a confusing name choice as a Category means something different in wordpress. Category in this instance means and equivalent of “section” or a parent group of forums so…

Category

– – Forum

– – – – Topic

– – Forum

– – – – Topic

– – – – Topic

– – Forum

– – – – Topic

If i can link to an old example i made (from September last year) , you can see that the different categories have forums as ‘children’: http://kevinjohngallagher.com/___alpha/bbpress_as_phpbb/

[andreascreten]

Hi everyone

We are a web development agency from Belgium that’s working on a bbPress project, we are moving a big forum (1.5 million posts) from phpBB to bbPress. The only phpBB converter I found out there is quite outdated, so we need someone to write a new one. When the project is done we will make the converter free and open-source, so that everyone can use it.

Please email your portfolio and/or cv to andreas at madewithlove dot be if you are interested in doing this job.

Disclaimer:

We had contact with someone of this forum but since a couple of weeks he does not (or at least very slow) respond on our emails. If that person is reading this post, please get back in touch with us, we still want to work with you!

I’m setting up a new website that is using WordPress as a CMS, and probably bbPress as a forum. (I’m toying with phpBB at the moment, but the integration I want here will likely push me to bbPress.) The WordPress area won’t require registration since its content is a series of short videos, and I want guests to be able to view them. Visitors will be invited to join the forums to discuss the videos, and I want them to self-identify their field of occupation when registering. My site is specific enough that the list of relevant occupations can be limited to a known list, so that field will be from a fixed set of possible choices.

Is there then a way that when a registered bbPress member visits the WordPress area of the site, that WordPress will recognize them as registered bbPress members and somehow pass that information out, so that an adserver (like AdSense) can target the ads it serves more specifically to that visitor based on the occupation they provided?

[H]

I figured it out. There were two records for my capabilitues in the database. I don’t know why. When I changed both of them to keymaster, I got admin rights.

[chrishajer]

Have you tried dumping all the cookies to be sure there is nothing left over fouling things up?

[H]

…and just for your information; I’ve changed the script so that it looks for ID == 3 instead of ID == 1.

[H]

Hm, it still doesn’t work. I have even cheched in the database, and my user has

meta_value: a:1:{s:9:”keymaster”;b:1;}

meta_key: bbpress_capabilities

Just as it’s supposed to.

Even so, I don’t get the admin link when I’m logged in. And I’ve tried to use the plugin which you linked to.

[chrishajer]

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/

You would need to change the ID to 3 in your case I believe.

[H]

I see now in the script that it checks

if ($user_type == USER_FOUNDER)

However, according to the table, USER_FOUNDER is not a user type. User Type is set with IDs. My user type is for instance 3…

[H]

I have converted my forum now, without any major problems.

However, my user account isn’t set to Keymaster… That’s a problem for me now, as I would like to do some admin changes.

Can anybody help me?

[chrishajer]

@helgetry: What problem are you having?

[H]

Is it possible to do a fix for this? I just can’t go through the whole DB to change all the special characters.

[whitewall]

Thanks for the very informative reply _ck_,

The reason I got interested in bbPress is not that we are trying to cut corners or find a cheap solution. It’s more like we would like to find a very simple and a lightweight bulletin board without built-in options we actually do not need. And somehow bbPress 0.9 looks much like what we are after.

Our forum has been running on phpBB since 2001 and the software has had it’s well-known problems. We have also tested the vBulletin – we have even the commercial license and have used lots of time and effort to make our other extensions work with it. But at the end vBulletin has too many options and it is too complex for our needs. We don’t need all those options it offers – we need a simple solution which would integrate nicely into our website.

We have already two dedicated servers (actual machines, not virtual ones), one handles the www-stuff (running apache…) and the other serves as the database server. Right now we have only the phpBB running with a couple of scripts of our own so I guess there’s resources more than we need.

The search issue would be solved by using Google’s search, that’s what we use right now with the phpBB but the lack of caching may be an issue.

Maybe we should keep searching the ultimate BB solution for us or try to customize the phpBB3 to fit our needs and figure out some non-WP solution for the WordPress post commenting.
