I had already adjusted pluggable.php instead of simply editing bb-config and adding the cookiepath, d'oh! I actually have a working solution now. Instead of ussing about with automatic login the main website can generate a cookie that BBpress likes. I did have to modify wp_validate_auth_cookie and wp_generate_auth_cookie to include my own hash and adjust the config as pointed out above but otherwise everything is unmodified... so far! swaymedia on "Site integration automatic login?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/site-integration-automatic-login#post-17224 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 16:07:46 +0000 swaymedia 17224@http://bbpress.org/forums/ my site is <a href="http://www.picbi.com," rel="nofollow">www.picbi.com,</a> so do I add to wp-config and bb-config: - <pre><code>define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'http://www.picbi.com'); define('COOKIEPATH', '/');</code></pre> sorry im not that familiar with cookies and how to work them ???????? neptuneval on "Site integration automatic login?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/site-integration-automatic-login#post-17208 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 00:01:54 +0000 neptuneval 17208@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Ok. I figured out how to get the single login working for both bbPress and Wordpress... I did understand the Function part of the setup.

After integrating, I see how the "test user" I created shows up in both admin consoles. However, whether I login to wordpress or bbpress first, the login does not carry over to the other when navigating, which forces me to login twice. I followed all the steps, which also inlcuded adding the following to the wp-config.php file... define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '*******'); define('COOKIEPATH', '/'); The only thing that comes to mind is a "minor error" that I received after walking through the "successful install" of bbPress... Duplicate key name 'user_nicename' >>> User tables will already exist when performing a database integrated installation. I'm wondering if this is the problem. If so, I'm not sure how to fix it. :\ Can someone help? hinch on "Site integration automatic login?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/site-integration-automatic-login#post-17165 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 00:37:13 +0000 hinch 17165@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I have successfully merged bbpress with my website and it works fine sharing user data and logging in/out... very almost. When a user first moves to the forum it shows them as not logged in, though if they click a forum link or refresh the page they are then shown as logged in. I only modified pluggable.php a little to make the cookie easier to handle and I've tried adding a function (below) in index.php and template header. Very crude , checking a cookie is set and calling the login function, but it's just a test: <pre><code>if (isset($_COOKIE[bbpres...]) && isset($_COOKIE[IHuser...]) && isset($_COOKIE[IHpass...])){ $login = decode($_COOKIE[IHuser...]); $password = decode($_COOKIE[IHpass...]); bb_login($login, $password, $remember = false); }</code></pre> Really I'm looking for where bbpress first checks to see if a user is logged in and sets headers but so far I'm out of luck. Where do I need to put my function so a user will be shown as logged in as soon as the navigate to the forum? P.S. I will build a more solid function so a users password isn't in a cookie, like I say - just a test! caesarsgrunt on "wpmu 1.5.1 + bbpress 0902 Login Cookie Solved!" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-151-bbpress-0902-login-cookie-solved#post-17151 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 18:34:46 +0000 caesarsgrunt 17151@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Thank you so, so much, sepidol! You've made my day! I've spent hours trawling the bbPress and WPMU forums for this... For what it's worth, my problem was the SECRET_SALT. I'd done everything else right, but each time I logged into either bb or wp I was logged out of the other 'cause of the cookie value being encrypted differently... I thought the salt may have been the problem, but I wasn't quite sure what it did. This is the first thread I've found which even mentions it! Thanks...

It doesn't help that my server won't send emails, so I can't set the password because I never get the registration email (weirdly it never change the WordPress admin login. Should it?). Anyway, my question is this - how can I manually reset the password for the admin account, or re-create the link between admin (WP) and keymaster (bb)? Is it possible, without going through the link that auto-generates a password? Also, if I de-activate the integration plugin (on WP and bb) and upgrade bbPress to 0.9.0.2, can I force a new password for the bb keymaster account? There doesn't seem to be a table for bb_users, and I don't want to mess with the WP admin account. Without a keymaster account, can I even upgrade?

But you are right that the WPMU one cannot, mostly for login compatibility between blogs within WPMU. Obviously you should choose your own secret and salt values, not the one's given above. sepidol on "wpmu 1.5.1 + bbpress 0902 Login Cookie Solved!" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-151-bbpress-0902-login-cookie-solved#post-16508 Thu, 29 May 2008 09:38:52 +0000 sepidol 16508@http://bbpress.org/forums/ my mistake, make sure your BB_SECRET_KEY and BB_SECRET_SALT value on your bb-config.php are the same with SECRET_KEY and SECRET_SALT value on your wp-config.php cheers, -- rh sepidol on "wpmu 1.5.1 + bbpress 0902 Login Cookie Solved!" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmu-151-bbpress-0902-login-cookie-solved#post-16507 Thu, 29 May 2008 09:35:09 +0000 sepidol 16507@http://bbpress.org/forums/ i just solved my login cookie issue after one night debugging... i found these things: - by default, wpmu generate auth_cookie as "wordpress", but bbpress generate as "wordpress_xxxxx(hash)" - wpmu not using "database secret" for cookie hashing, but it use the SECRET_SALT constant defined in the wp-config.php, bbpress using "database secret". so the cookie result will never be the same. you need to update your bb-config.php file to meet these situations. assumed you've successfully install wpmu + bbpress, then edit your bb-config.php and add these line: define('BB_SECRET_KEY', 'yourreallysecretkey'); define('BB_SECRET_SALT', 'yourreallysecretsalt'); $bb->authcookie = 'wordpress'; $bb->cookiedomain = '.yourdomain.com'; $bb->cookiepath = '/'; $bb->sitecookiepath = ''; and try to login... voila.. you can switch to bbpress and wpmu without re-login... :) good luck, -- rh tbaleno on "cookie problem.

I had checked these before and they were identical, but at the time I might have been dealing with a path issue. Then when the path issue was resolved I never went back to ensure they were still the same. My suggestion to everyone is to check everything even if you KNOW you check them before. tbaleno on "cookie problem.
