In a forum it doesn't make much sense. What if i want to send a private message to a user ? If he changes his display name and avatar it could be very hard to find who he really is.

There were tons of problems with usernames etc. and all integration had to be done manually with lots of plugins to fix things.</p> <p>Then attitudes changed when Matt got funding and decided to use the bbPress code to power TalkPress (essentially forums for users on WordPress.com) Sam and MDA have done a great deal of work to make integration work better but it definitely has a way to go (and should become painless and super-easy IMHO).</p> <p>So 0.9 has made integration easier but keep in mind bbPress is not even 1.0 yet, so officially it's not even a released product. The radical cookie changes in 2.6 will take awhile for bbPress to catchup, it's always been that way.</p> <p>ps. if it's not obvious, I am in no way officially associated with Automattic/WordPress/bbPress. Just a plugin developer. And I am not paid. My opinions are definitely just my own and not any kind of official statement. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/why-is-integration-so-troublesom#post-17385 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:28:19 +0000 Anonymous 17385@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>From what I can tell the anonymous issue is because users that register through bbPress get added to the wp_users table but the display_name field is left empty. Where do I change the query to put the user_nicename into the display_name on registration, like Wordpress does?

I've never managed to get integration working fully and I always get to the point where users who registered through the forum post on the Wordpress blog show up as Anonymous... which basically renders the whole process pointless. I've managed to get Wordpress and vBulletin to integrate seamlessly, but not bbPress.</p> <p>bbPress and Wordpress are both great pieces of software in their own right, but when it comes to integration with each other they are pretty weak. For example, the new bbPress isn't compatible with Wordpress 2.6 because of an issue with cookie management in Wordpress... for the integration to work we now have to wait for bbPress to release an update which according to a moderator on here will be a while away.</p> <p>There are also so many unsolved integration threads here that it's very difficult to find any one collection of possible solutions. I appreciate the amount of work that goes into this kind of software and time required to provide support.

I saw a note of _ck_ requesting this enhancement but I doubt it has gone through over these months yet.</p> <p>To txrediakov: I want to enable the user to choose their password, not because of email anymore but because I believe we cannot just deny our users this capability. It is expected in any reasonable website that the user can type her own password.</p> <p>To chrishajer: Good information. Now thinking logically: If one can display the password in a window returned after registration I think it could be possible to perform one additional step in the php code to take a password fetched from a custom field in the registration page, then take the bbpress generated password and replace it with the new value.<br /> However, there is a slight problem. The user can only change her password after she is logged in. Granting the new user access to the account to post right away after registration may pose some kind of security thread to the system and to the accounts of all users. So how could we go about doing this without compromising the security of the system?</p> <p>Please you are welcome to contact me as I need to work and solve this issue. </p> <p>Encouragements, </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/anonymous-posting#post-16398 Thu, 22 May 2008 16:02:47 +0000 so1o 16398@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-anonymous-posting/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-anonymous-posting/</a></p> <p>hope this help.. works with 0.9.0.2 </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bb-anonymous-posting#post-16356 Wed, 21 May 2008 00:22:37 +0000 so1o 16356@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-anonymous-posting/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-anonymous-posting/</a></p> <p>finally i got around to creating this.. plug and play.. let me know how it goes. </p> <p>here is my forum for support<br /> <a href="http://www.adityanaik.com/forums/" rel="nofollow">http://www.adityanaik.com/forums/</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/public-forums#post-16186 Mon, 12 May 2008 22:51:38 +0000 mrhoratio 16186@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>For spam control/moderation, perhaps it tied in more tightly with Akismet.
