I am currently developing a new forum site that has a conservative older target audience. I am not sure at this stage whether those users would appreciate the use of emoticons. However, I would like to test using emoticons once the site is live.
If I install a emoticon plugin (Mona Lisa for example) and then sometime in the future I decide to delete it, is there any easy way to remove the ;-), :yes:,:cry: labels that remain in the text of my user’s replies.
If these emoticon labels can only be edited manually from each reply, then removing an emoticon plugin in the future would create a huge editing problem.
The same issue would arise if, some time in the future, support is no longer provided for that plugin.
So given the potential editing risk of installing an emoticon plugin and then removing it in the future I would like to hear others comments and feedback regarding using emoticons on a forum pitched to an older, conservative target audience?
I suspect the (future editing) risks of installing an emoticon plugin on my site outweigh the benefits. I would be very happy to receive you views on this issue.
Thanks in advance for any input or feedback you can offer.
Kind Regards

There were features in both the BBp Style Pack and BBpress Toolkit that I desired.
Unfortunately when ever I installed both plugins, my site became buggy. There is a conflict between the two it would seem.
So I bit the bullet and created my own functionality plugin and used it and WP Custom CSS to create each of the features and styling I desired from the Style Pack and the Toolkit.
There are just three features that I couldn’t find any documentation for:
1. Changing the header label Freshness to other wording, and
2. Creating a “create new topic” link.I am aware that the first of these features is also included in Robins other plugin called Latest Post (or something like that) however that plugin also includes another feature that I do not require (as I have coded my own)
And so my request. Can someone please provide me with:
1. a function snippet to change freshness to other wording
2. a function snippet to add a “create new topic” link at the top of a forumThanks in advance for any assistance.
Kind Regards

Topic: phpbb Import Question
I’m trying to import a phpbb forum with about 50,000 posts into a local dev site.
It continually stalls at “Converting topics (4900-4999)”
I’m trying to follow the instructions here:
which say to make a copy of the db and drop all records except within the offending range and try the import again to isolate the problematic row.Should I go into phpbb_topics or phpbb_topics_posted to try and look for the offending problem?
Once I have the right table, do I then delete the first 4899 rows that appear in the db?
I’m using the latest WordPress and have tried both bbpress 2.5.9 and 2.6alpha.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Hi you guys,
I’m in the process of importing a rather large vBulletin board. It has around 50’000 topics and more than 3 million posts.
And I’ve got this one question: does bbPress write out or somehowe save topics, which it couldn’t import? So I can get a glimpse at the problem at hand why a certain vBulletin thread has not been imported?
A little more background: I’ve done a few test imports, and so far bbPress is doing a terrific job. To keep import time manageable, I modified the vBulletin converter from bbPress to skip replies, which I import with some more complex SQL queries after the bbPress importer has created users and topics.
Nearly all of my 20’000 users and 50’000 topics get imported, but some vBulletin threads do not shop up with the
meta_keynamed_bbp_old_topic_id. I really tried to spot a pattern there, but had no luck. So I’m hoping there’s a way to gather some more information directly from the bbPress import.I’m running bbPress 2.5.9 and WordPress 4.5.2
[Warning]: DO NOT DO THIS ON A PRODUCTION DATABASE!
My apologies for the caps, but this is really important 😉[Assumptions]: Debian/Ubuntu developmachine with phpMyAdmin.
[Note]: Obviously I haven’t tested all Apache/MySql versions. This was done on SolydK (Debian Jessie). It is also not perfect. So, if somebody can improve on the code. Please, let me know.
After you’ve setup a development machine, imported the phpBB data and checked that everything is working fine, you still need to convert the phpBB internal links like “viewtopic.php?p=####” or “viewtopic.php?t=####” to the slugs that are being used by bbPress.
Let’s start!
1) First you’ll need to install and compile lib_mysqludf_preg.
Create a bash file install_preg.sh with this content:#!/bin/bash apt-get update apt-get install libpcre3-dev libmysqlclient-dev build-essential libmysqld-dev libpcre3-dev wget https://github.com/mysqludf/lib_mysqludf_preg/archive/testing.zip unzip testing.zip cd lib_mysqludf_preg-testing ./configure make install make MYSQL="mysql -p" installdb service mysql restartMake it executable:
chmod +x install_preg.shAnd run it:
./install_preg.sh2) Install the stored procedures.
In phpMyAdmin, select the database and the SQL tab.
Paste the following codes separately, creating three stored procedures on your database:DELIMITER $$ CREATE PROCEDURE sp_cleanup_replies() BEGIN -- declare cursor for reply url change DECLARE reply_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT DISTINCT old_post_id, REPLACE(<code>xkcom_posts</code>.<code>guid</code>, 'http://yoursite.com', '') AS new_url FROM (SELECT CAST(CONVERT(PREG_CAPTURE('/#p([0-9]+)/i', <code>post_content</code>, 1) USING UTF8) AS UNSIGNED) AS old_post_id FROM <code>xkcom_posts</code>) AS t1 INNER JOIN <code>xkcom_postmeta</code> ON <code>xkcom_postmeta</code>.<code>meta_value</code> = old_post_id INNER JOIN <code>xkcom_posts</code> ON <code>xkcom_posts</code>.<code>ID</code> = <code>xkcom_postmeta</code>.<code>post_id</code> WHERE <code>xkcom_postmeta</code>.<code>meta_key</code> = '_bbp_old_reply_id' AND old_post_id IS NOT NULL ORDER BY old_post_id DESC; SELECT 'sp_cleanup_replies: START'; -- Change posts OPEN reply_cursor; BEGIN DECLARE old_reply_id MEDIUMINT; DECLARE new_url VARCHAR(255); DECLARE search_string VARCHAR(255); DECLARE done INT DEFAULT FALSE; DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done = TRUE; read_loop: LOOP FETCH reply_cursor INTO old_reply_id, new_url; IF done THEN LEAVE read_loop; END IF; SET search_string = CONCAT('|[a-z0-9\.\-:\/&=\?\+]+#p', old_reply_id, '|i'); SELECT CONCAT('sp_cleanup_replies: replace ', search_string, CONCAT(' with ', new_url)); -- Uncomment the following line if you want to test the regexp -- SELECT CONVERT(PREG_REPLACE(search_string, new_url, <code>post_content</code>) USING UTF8) FROM <code>xkcom_posts</code> WHERE INSTR(<code>post_content</code>, CONCAT('#p', old_reply_id)) > 0; LEAVE read_loop; UPDATE <code>xkcom_posts</code> SET <code>post_content</code>= CONVERT(PREG_REPLACE(search_string, new_url, <code>post_content</code>) USING UTF8) WHERE INSTR(<code>post_content</code>, CONCAT('#p', old_reply_id)) > 0; END LOOP; END; CLOSE reply_cursor; SELECT 'sp_cleanup_replies: DONE'; END$$ DELIMITER ;DELIMITER $$ CREATE PROCEDURE sp_cleanup_topics() BEGIN -- declare cursor for topic url change DECLARE topic_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT DISTINCT old_topic_id, REPLACE(<code>xkcom_posts</code>.<code>guid</code>, 'http://yoursite.com', '') AS new_url FROM (SELECT CAST(CONVERT(PREG_CAPTURE('/t=([0-9]+)/i', <code>post_content</code>, 1) USING UTF8) AS UNSIGNED) AS old_topic_id FROM <code>xkcom_posts</code>) AS t1 INNER JOIN <code>xkcom_postmeta</code> ON <code>xkcom_postmeta</code>.<code>meta_value</code> = old_topic_id INNER JOIN <code>xkcom_posts</code> ON <code>xkcom_posts</code>.<code>ID</code> = <code>xkcom_postmeta</code>.<code>post_id</code> WHERE <code>xkcom_postmeta</code>.<code>meta_key</code> = '_bbp_old_topic_id' AND old_topic_id IS NOT NULL ORDER BY old_topic_id DESC;

SELECT CONCAT('sp_cleanup_topics: replace ', search_string, CONCAT(' with ', new_url)); -- Uncomment the following line if you want to test the regexp -- SELECT CONVERT(PREG_REPLACE(search_string, new_url, <code>post_content</code>) USING UTF8) FROM <code>xkcom_posts</code> WHERE INSTR(<code>post_content</code>, CONCAT('t=', old_topic_id)) > 0; LEAVE read_loop; UPDATE <code>xkcom_posts</code> SET <code>post_content</code>= CONVERT(PREG_REPLACE(search_string, new_url, <code>post_content</code>) USING UTF8) WHERE INSTR(<code>post_content</code>, CONCAT('t=', old_topic_id)) > 0; END LOOP; END; CLOSE topic_cursor; SELECT 'sp_cleanup_topics: DONE'; END$$ DELIMITER ;DELIMITER $$ CREATE PROCEDURE sp_cleanup_missing() BEGIN -- declare cursor for reply url change DECLARE missing_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT DISTINCT old_post_id FROM (SELECT CAST(CONVERT(PREG_CAPTURE('|/&[a-z0-9=\+]+#p([0-9]+)|i', <code>post_content</code>, 1) USING UTF8) AS UNSIGNED) AS old_post_id FROM <code>xkcom_posts</code>) AS t1 WHERE old_post_id IS NOT NULL ORDER BY old_post_id DESC; SELECT 'sp_cleanup_missing: START'; -- Change posts OPEN missing_cursor; BEGIN DECLARE missing_reply_id MEDIUMINT; DECLARE search_string VARCHAR(255); DECLARE done INT DEFAULT FALSE; DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done = TRUE; read_loop: LOOP FETCH missing_cursor INTO missing_reply_id; IF done THEN LEAVE read_loop; END IF; SET search_string = CONCAT('|[a-z0-9&=\+]+#p', missing_reply_id, '|i'); SELECT CONCAT('sp_cleanup_missing: remove ', search_string); -- Uncomment the following line if you want to test the regexp -- SELECT CONVERT(PREG_REPLACE(search_string, '#', <code>post_content</code>) USING UTF8) FROM <code>xkcom_posts</code> WHERE INSTR(<code>post_content</code>, CONCAT('#p', missing_reply_id)) > 0; LEAVE read_loop; UPDATE <code>xkcom_posts</code> SET <code>post_content</code>= CONVERT(PREG_REPLACE(search_string, '#', <code>post_content</code>) USING UTF8) WHERE INSTR(<code>post_content</code>, CONCAT('#p', missing_reply_id)) > 0; END LOOP; END; CLOSE missing_cursor; SELECT 'sp_cleanup_missing: DONE'; END$$ DELIMITER ;3) Run the stored procedures from terminal.
It is important that you check some example posts with links that need to change. First the post links like “viewtopic.php?some_parameters#p#####”, then topic links like “viewtopic.php?some_parameters&t=#####” and lastly the links to missing posts are removed.mysql -u root -p -e 'CALL sp_cleanup_replies()' my_databasemysql -u root -p -e 'CALL sp_cleanup_topics()' my_databasemysql -u root -p -e 'CALL sp_cleanup_missing()' my_databaseNow, check your posts and when you’re happy you can drop the stored procedures:
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS sp_cleanup_replies; DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS sp_cleanup_topics; DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS sp_cleanup_missing;Mod note: edited and changed dev site from contributer to yoursite.com
