Something that exports users and info like WP’s tool->export option.

I’m running into an issue writing the “import” side of things – my first thought is to create a plugin that mimics what is in WordPress. I found myself creating the infrastructure that is already present in the main body of WP.

Writing both import and export tool really would be a lot simpler when bbPress is a WordPress plugin. Why make it like the WP one, when we can utilize the real one?

Thanks you two, I forgot I asked this question before:

Wasn’t BBXF abandoned _ck_ ?

I’m going on memory rather than fact here (so am happy to be wrong), but wasn’t the last bbxf bit of code added before or around the time that bbPress0.9 came out?

It may still work (fingers crossed), but I’ve not seen anyone mention it here in a good 18 months.

Sorry for my dumbness but where are the instructions on how to use it.

It was developed when 1.0 alpha was out so it may support it, I dunno.

Details went away when Sam did unfortunately.

But someone could finish it.

I found this:

Does do that help any coders?
