Hello,

I have some paid work that i want done, and what i see is people are told to post here http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-pro/ . I was wondering how is the response with that, specifically to BBpress work.

From speaking to people, i found that many people who work with wordpress have no idea about BBpress. Furthermore, there are very few links (or widely visible ones) from the wordpress.com and the wordpress.org websites. Maybe you should look into it and see if you want to market the product further. Thats just my advice here.

Second of all, i just don’t understand what is the reason that BBpress (this site) doesn’t allow ads for paid work.

Thanks,

Talbina

Hello,

I am not a developer and i dont know anything. Just wondering which software to use.

Im wondering if the forum topics can be made to look like over here http://www.jobs.ac.uk/ the “Search jobs by subject area” section?

Also, are there really any limitations with what can be done with wordpress/BBpress ?

Thanks,

Talbina

Hi there people!

I just finished translating to Brazilian Portuguese. The file is available for download at my blog:

bbPress em português

I noticed that the default theme has some problems, so I corrected the problems on the theme and packed it for download. It’s the same URL for this download.

O arquivo para download do arquivo de linguagem para português do Brasil está disponível. Basta acessar a URL acima. Recomendo baixar o tema padrão que disponibilizei por que ele tem correções para alguns problemas de frase não contempladas no .po original.

cheers!

I took Bruno Torres’ converter script as a foundation, and re-wrote it to work with the Punbb database architecture. Also, added in a tiny bit of string clean up, since Punbb allows foreign characters in the username field, and BBPress does not.

Here’s the code to look at:

http://utopian.net/code/punbb-importer.phps

And in a handy .zip for download:

http://utopian.net/code/punbb-importer.zip

A few important notes, since this is NOT at all pretty –

1) It uses a lot of memory, so make sure PHP has access to at least 16mb in php.ini. If I had more than 20 minutes to devote to this, I’d look into that and try to improve it, but hey.

2) If you’re importing a lot of data, you may need to split up the resultant sql file into smaller files less than 2mb in size. Add this to the list of things I would automate if I needed to use this script more than once.

3) I am using BBPress integrated with WPMU and included lines for importing into the WordPress user tables. After I noted and fixed the problem converting Punbb’s lax, apostrophe-laden usernames to nice and sanitary WP-friendly ones, the script ran like a charm. Seriously, if I’d known it would be this easy I would have done this six months ago.

4) The forum-parent to forum relationship imported correctly into the database, but displayed a little funny, so I manually re-ordered the forum items in the database and massaged the template a little bit to recognize forum parents a little bit differently, more PunBB style.

5) A clean WPMU and BBPress install is ideal, but I already had ten existing WP users, half of whom had a user account in the PunBB data I was merging. For such a small data set, it was very easy to manually correct this by deleting the PunBB users and making sure that the imported topics and posts for those users pointed to their current id.

Hopefully this will be a good start for those of us looking to move existing PunBB forums to BBPress & WordPress. Good luck, and let me know if you use it!

I am new to this forum.

I had a corrupted bbPress forum install.

I have to drop the bb_ tables and do a reinstall.

Hopefully, it is ok if I post this.

My web hosting servers are Unix.

The servers have php v 4.4.0 installed

phpMyAdmin isn’t installed

Apparently, I have to download phpMyAdmin 2.10.2.tar.tz

It is unclear from my web hosting service support if I should

place phpMyAdmin 2.10.2.tar.tz in the public_html directory.

Should I create a directory phpAdmin?

I am running Windows 2000 Professional on my computer.

Then I should download and use PuTTY: A Free Telnet/SSH Client to telnet to my server.

Then use a command to unbundle the phpMyAdmin 2.10.2.tar.gz file

Then access my php database

issue the command show tables

then the command drop bb_ tables which are the bbPress tables

then try a reinstall of bbPress forum software

Hi, all…

I’ve looked around and haven’t been able to find a solution to my problem…

My forum, elephantwords.co.uk/forum, has a “last poster” bit at the bottom of each page, that, on thread and forum pages, shows the last poster to have posted… I’ve used the Get_User_Profile_Link to make the name of the poster link to the last poster’s profile.

The thing is, it doesn’t work. Go to the site to see what I mean, but when you mouseover the link, a message across the bottom of the browser says “Missing Argument 1 for Get_User_Profile_Link”

I don’t know any php, and I’ll admit to having nabbed most of the code from other templates. However, I’m convinced that this worked when I first put it in, and I’ve no idea how to fix it now. The Latest Discussions bit, which is next to it in the bottom page navigation, works fine.

Does anyone have a clue what’s up here? My flabber is totally gasted…

Hey guys,

wordpress already has an attchment uploader, doesn’t it? is there a chance to build a plug-in for bbpress using that code?

grz,

jaithn

I did an install.

The link to my site wasn’t correct.

The next portion of the install didn’t look like

The Ultimate bbpress Guide

There wasn’t a clean Adminstrator login and the web page was barren with links.

How do I clean out my orginal terrible install, then install again?

I decided to delete all the files from my server.

I edited the config.php again.

I FTPed the directory again.

I entered www.mysite.com/forum/bb-admin/install.php in my browser

I received a message that I had already installed do you mean upgrade?
