In your wp-config:
$table_prefix = 'wp_econome_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

Looks like you're missing an underscore in bb-config.

Also try changing this on your bbconfig: $bb->sitecookiepath = '/starteconome/blog/';

I have the exact same scenario that schmitt has at the beginning of this thread.

Please help me out here, I have posted several thread but no one has helped me or taken a look at my config files.

Here they are:

bb-config.php

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //
removed for security

define('BBDB_CHARSET', '');      // If you are *upgrading*, and your old bb-config.php does
define('BBDB_COLLATE', '');          // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them
                                     // If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

// Change BB_SECRET_KEY to a unique phrase.  You won't have to remember it later,
// so make it long and complicated.  You can visit https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm
// to get a phrase generated for you, or just make something up.
// If you are integrating logins with WordPress, you will need to match the value
// of the "SECRET_KEY" in the WordPress file wp-config.php
define('BB_AUTH_KEY', '7k67k67k76'); // Change this to a unique phrase.
define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', '67k67k76k67k76'); // Change this to a unique phrase.
define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY', '67k76'); // Change this to a unique phrase.
define('BB_SECRET_KEY', 'thisisone{crazy}sectret9084biugfhKey'); // Change this to a unique phrase.

// If you are running multiple bbPress installations in a single database,
// you will probably want to change this.
$bb_table_prefix = 'bb_'; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// Change this to localize bbPress.  A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define('BB_LANG', '');

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined('BB_PATH') )
	define('BB_PATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );
require_once( BB_PATH . 'bb-settings.php' );

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.
// If you're not, just leave the rest as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_econome';  // WordPress table prefix.  Example: 'wp_';

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_my has here';
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_my has here';
$bb->cookiedomain = 'fabuso.com';
$bb->cookiepath = '/';

?>

wp-config.php

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //

$wp->cookiepath = '/';
$wp->sitecookiepath = '/';
define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/');

define ('WPLANG', '');

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
?>

and thanks for the link.

If it's the first case, then please enlighten me.
If it's the second case, then this link might help you.
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-subtle-bug-single-sign-on-bbpress-and-wordpress

I tried your settings, and it's funny that if you login on either on side, you cannot log out on the other side.

If I login WPMU first, I can only logout through WPMU.

I've tried setting this: ("MD5hash" replaced with my MD5)

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser_MD5hash';
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass_MD5hash';

However, that didn't seem to synchronize login(meaning, if I am log into wp, go to bbpress and find myself already logged and vice versa)

Watching the cookies during the login/out process on WP MU, I found that the cookie names that WP MU uses are: "wordpresspass" and "wordpressuser"
So in config.php for bbpress, I used:

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';

This works somewhat, let me explain:
This scenario works:
Log into WPMU, refresh bbpress page, I find myself already logged into bbpress.
Log out of WPMU, refresh bbpress page, I find myself logged out of bbpress.
Log into BBpress, refresh WPMU, I find myself logged into WPMU

This doesn't work:
Log into BBpress, refresh WPMU (I find myself logged into WPMU) AND THEN when I try to log out from WPMU, I can't log out.
I refresh BBpress page, and I am not logged out either.
If I log out from BBpress at this point, then I am logged out of WPMU as well.

I have a feeling it might be something with WPMU, but I thought I'd post here first since this is where I found all the information about the integration. Thanks for your help. I am appending my config.php relevant to the integration part.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';
$bb->wp_home = 'http://achillesblog.com';
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://achillesblog.com';
$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';
$bb->cookiepath = '/';

thanks for your help.

I don't understand which MD5 to use... Every user has a different hash right? So which one do I enter?

Can anyone try and clarify this for me, I almost got it working....

No it won't. No matter what cookies users have, they will not prevent them logging in.

schmitt, must say I really liked your site. Not at all interested in things financial but it was engaging nonetheless.

You could put these lines at the top of your bb-login.php:

header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
exit;

Obviously changing the URL to that of your wp-login.php. I don't know how else you'd do that. This may have all sorts of crazy adverse effects because I haven't tried it myself; maybe ck can say how he did it?

the bbpress config options you want are like this:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';  // WordPress table prefix.  Example: 'wp_';
$bb->wp_home = 'http://example.com/blog';  // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: 'http://example.com'
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://example.com';  // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: 'http://example.com'

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser_ab1b1c8b2de0ca2b381c25a6b6e812a1';
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass_ab1b1c8b2de0ca2b381c25a6b6e812a1';
$bb->cookiedomain = 'example.com';
$bb->cookiepath = '/';

you also obviously want this plugin:
http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/2?replies=3

and less obviously this one is a must for WP integration:
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/usernames-with-spaces-do-not-work?replies=24#post-7904
unfortunately it's not setup here as a formal plugin but it should be - see my dot fix at the end

I also went a step further and routed all the login links on bbpress back to the wordpress login box since it has a few extra features. I use the redirect_to option to bring them back to bbpress.

I'll search the forum but any guidance is appreciated.

I used the first suggestion:

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser_full.hash.number';
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass_full.hash.number';

Except this time I replaced it with my actual MD5. DUH!!!

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser_ed93838a3c2677b2a3d53669c26b039b';
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass_ed93838a3c2677b2a3d53669c26b039b';

Things working smoothly now. Thank you for your help and I hope this thread helps someone else.

You also need the space and period plugin fix for names. WordPress allows them, bbpress doesn't by default. So anyone with a space or period in their nickname will fail logging into bbPress. Not knowing such things can drive you mad.

ps. another good integration thread for a future integration sub-forum

Trent

Is there something atypical about my install that is creating the problem. How can I just conform to the norm?

Trent

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser_full.hash.number';
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass_full.hash.number';

double quotes at end changed to single. Trying now.

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser_full.hash.number";
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass_full.hash.number";

My config.php is set up as above. Ive pasted it below. I included the full URL coding where as you used only the http://www.xxxx.xxxx - I can't imagine that makes a difference.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix. Example: 'wp_';
$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.nyquistcapital.com/'; // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: 'http://example.com'
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.nyquistcapital.com/'; // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: 'http://example.com'

$bb->cookiepath = '/'; // Added per BBPress Forum Suggestion to ensure WordPress user sharing

--------------------------

wordpressuser_ed93838a3c2677b2a3d53669c26b039b
Path: /
Content:admin

wordpresspass_ed93838a3c2677b2a3d53669c26b039b
Path:/
Content:<HASH>

And for BBPress
wordpressuser_34c5633735768bf923be82cd0042b16a
Path: /
Content:admin

wordpresspass_34c5633735768bf923be82cd0042b16a
Path:/
Content:<HASH>

Can you please do the following:

Clear your cookies.
Log into wordpress and record what cookies are set, including domain and path (properties of each cookie).
Clear your cookies again.
Log into bb. Again record the cookies set. Are you logged into wp?
Tell us the cookies set from each case.

Let me reiterate. BBPress and WOrdpress are sharing a user database now. I can sign into BBPress using the name/pw combo of any existing WordPress user.

What I expected though, is that a user already signed into WordPress would transition into BBPress (for the first time, as a new user) and automatically be logged in. Currently, they need to relogin using the same WordPress username and password.

Which behavior should be expected? I am looking for a seamless addition of forums for my existing client base....

Thanks for the great help.

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

to your config.php if it doesn't work straight away.

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.
// If you're not, just leave the rest as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';  // WordPress table prefix.  Example: 'wp_';
$bb->wp_home = http://www.nyquistcapital.com';  // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash.  Example: 'http://example.com'
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'www.nyquistcapital.com';  // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: 'http://example.com'
