Or funny: "yes, this is the closest that I am able to get to single sign-on, and I get the same results"? If it's the first case, then please enlighten me. If it's the second case, then this link might help you. <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-subtle-bug-single-sign-on-bbpress-and-wordpress" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-subtle-bug-single-sign-on-bbpress-and-wordpress</a> harryworld on "Wordpress/BBPress Single Sign On" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpressbbpress-single-sign-on#post-14327 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 09:09:30 +0000 harryworld 14327@http://bbpress.org/forums/ horrowshow, I tried your settings, and it's funny that if you login on either on side, you cannot log out on the other side.

I've tried setting this: ("MD5hash" replaced with my MD5) <pre><code>$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser_MD5hash'; $bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass_MD5hash';</code></pre> However, that didn't seem to synchronize login(meaning, if I am log into wp, go to bbpress and find myself already logged and vice versa) Watching the cookies during the login/out process on WP MU, I found that the cookie names that WP MU uses are: "wordpresspass" and "wordpressuser" So in config.php for bbpress, I used: <pre><code>$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser'; $bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';</code></pre> This works somewhat, let me explain: This scenario works: Log into WPMU, refresh bbpress page, I find myself already logged into bbpress. Log out of WPMU, refresh bbpress page, I find myself logged out of bbpress. Log into BBpress, refresh WPMU, I find myself logged into WPMU This doesn't work: Log into BBpress, refresh WPMU (I find myself logged into WPMU) AND THEN when I try to log out from WPMU, I can't log out. I refresh BBpress page, and I am not logged out either. If I log out from BBpress at this point, then I am logged out of WPMU as well. I have a feeling it might be something with WPMU, but I thought I'd post here first since this is where I found all the information about the integration. Thanks for your help. I am appending my config.php relevant to the integration part. <pre><code>$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 = '/';</code></pre> thanks for your help. schmitt on "Cookie Question - WP, BB, and beyond" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-question-wp-bb-and-beyond#post-13937 Tue, 19 Feb 2008 02:45:25 +0000 schmitt 13937@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I've also pulled this off.

If I remember correctly, I just integrated WP and BB first (minus the cookie settings). Then I installed Amember and installed the WP plugin. All 3 were installed in the same database. For BB cookies I think I just set them the same as _cK_ said in a different post here. For WP cookies, I believe that is in the Amember Plugin Readme file. It wasn't too tough. If you need to know anything else let me know and I can take a look. I've decided to go with PHPBB instead of BBpress but I still have it all installed at the moment. There's nothing wrong with BBpress just want more group and permission control. Hope that helps. schmitt on "Cookie Question - WP, BB, and beyond" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookie-question-wp-bb-and-beyond#post-11372 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 16:26:24 +0000 schmitt 11372@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Did you ever get this working? I plan to try soon. Amember has a Wordpress plugin but I'd like to know if it cascades successfully through a Wordpress/BBPress integration. schmitt on "Wordpress/BBPress Single Sign On" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpressbbpress-single-sign-on#post-11371 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 16:25:19 +0000 schmitt 11371@http://bbpress.org/forums/ MD5 is unique to the website URL... not the user. themesbycal on "Wordpress/BBPress Single Sign On" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpressbbpress-single-sign-on#post-10904 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 04:14:08 +0000 themesbycal 10904@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hey guys, I got a question about the MD5 hash.....

I have pretty much everything worked out, but need a little cookie help if it's out there. I've read this post, which outlines cookie settings <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpressbbpress-single-sign-on?replies=22#post-9010" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpressbbpress-single-sign-on?replies=22#post-9010</a> The problem is that I don't want to install the cookie plugin for WP because I already have this in my Wp-config file define('COOKIEPATH','/'); define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/'); define('COOKIEHASH', md5($_SERVER[HTTP_HOST])); I guess my question is, what do I put into my BB config file for cookies? I realize this may not be a direct BBPress issue, but I thought maybe one of you had an idea.

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: <pre><code>header('Location: <a href="http://www.example.com/'" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/'</a>); exit;</code></pre> 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? schmitt on "Wordpress/BBPress Single Sign On" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpressbbpress-single-sign-on#post-9024 Tue, 17 Jul 2007 13:30:43 +0000 schmitt 9024@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Yes, but users reading the above... make sure to replace the MD5 hash with the one from your site.

Trent _ck_ on "Wordpress/BBPress Single Sign On" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpressbbpress-single-sign-on#post-9003 Tue, 17 Jul 2007 04:10:38 +0000 _ck_ 9003@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Remember that many users will already have the "remember me" set for their cookie on wordpress and that doesn't expire for a year. This means their bbpress login will mysteriously fail. They'll either give up or re-register a new nickname. 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. 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. ps. another good integration thread for a future integration sub-forum Trent on "Wordpress/BBPress Single Sign On" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpressbbpress-single-sign-on#post-9002 Tue, 17 Jul 2007 04:00:57 +0000 Trent 9002@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Most just work with defining the wordpress part of the config.php and some need to play around.

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.

I also added in fel64's suggestion. I didn't see any changes in the behavior as a result. 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.
