  • I did not want to nag you personally – I just was not sure, where to post – seems like the group is not private I posted to. SORRY if you feel offended. I did not have time to check back on this, after a few days of no answer I gave up. Also I did not get notification emails. Maybe I will test your import script this week one more time, but to be honest, I would rather like to spend the time creating my own import script, so I do not have to spend additional time with debugging yours :) Anyway, I thank you very much for your effort.

    Thank you very much, hnla!!!

    OK, thanks, got it! Another question follows up: as I see everybody can create forums – how can I restrict group creation to certain user roles?
    As I can see in wp_user_roles there seems not to be any group_create capability – is it possible at all atm to restrict group creation? Thanks!

    Yuo have to define “secure” on a technical level. SSL only secures the transport of bytes, that should work right out of the box with buddypress, you just need to upgrade you existing webserver configuration and get a SSL certificate. YOu can get free certs at cert.org.
    However, this does not mean that the messages are encrypted – so content in your database will still be readable to anybody who has access to the database.

    Hi Norman, first thank you for your script – I am trying to convert an smf installation to buddypress with it, but I have no success – hopefully anybody can give some hints? I have a few questions:
    – How exactly do I have to proceed? I installed wp-mu, then via the plugin menu buddypress and smf-importer. The import seems to finish without errors, BUT I do not see any groups or forums at all! The link to /grous or /forum siple give a 404.
    – I do not understand, if I need to install any forum separately? Do I need to install bbpress in another folder? Or does your import script generate some forum, but why is it not there?
    – I do see however that there IS some data in the database that has been imported. But no way to see it on the side.
    – Also many strings are beeing cut off, so title of groups and forums is corrupted.
    – How can I debug this process? Is there any option to get some debug output?
    – I s there a command line version of your importer or will it only run in WP context?
    – Is there some technical documentation what exactly are you doing (yes, I know, use the source, Luke :) – but some hints will be helpful :)
    – What exactly does this message mean and what can i do about it:
    “Skipped 941 topics and 5075 posts due to missing users, boards or topics.”
    How can I make it not to skip? or get some more infos which boards or users are missing? I do not think any users or boards are missing, btw…
    – What if I want to use some more powerful forum? Which forum can I use and STILL have groups functionality?
    THANK YOU very much for your attention!
    Snaky
