Where $user_id is the user's bbPress id. Since you are using the same user table, it should be available? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/allowing-new-users-to-pick-their-own-passwords#post-20657 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 04:54:58 +0000 johnhiler 20657@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>The bbPress I'm using is on 0.83... upgrading to 0.9.0.2 on a test server, and then testing the integration with Wordpress and Mediawiki. </p> <p>Once everything is looking good, we'll migrate the live site to use bbPress 0.9.0.2. Then I'll install this plugin - excited!</p> <p>Yah Mediawiki is tricky stuff. The worst part is that the cookies don't truly integrate! I used a plugin to get both software reading off of the same bbPress users table... so that works.

In a sample of 100 surveys sent, 28 replied -</p> <p>* 17 couldn't recall receiving an email<br /> * 7 couldn't remember why they didn't complete registering<br /> * 4 said the password provided in the email wasn't inviting</p> <p>I think the current registration functionality is fine for a hobby forum but once you start paying for traffic, you will never receive an optimum return on investment. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/allowing-new-users-to-pick-their-own-passwords#post-20332 Thu, 30 Oct 2008 03:00:38 +0000 johnhiler 20332@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I have been getting reports that registrants on my bbpress forum aren't receiving their auto-generated password emails from my server.</p> <p>I've read a few threads on this forum that suggest workarounds.

It's easier than using .htaccess.</p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/hidden-forums/</a></p> <p>That's not what you asked initially though. </p> <p><strong>require a password before someone can register and see the forum</strong></p> <p>Both are possible, the first request just doesn't make any sense unless there will be a company wide memo with the username and password on it. If it's truly for internal use only, just put it on an intranet rather than the Internet, or use .htaccess to restrict by IP address rather than passwords. If you have a fixed range of IP addresses, you could allow only those to access the bbPress forum. </p> <p>You can do both. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/password-protection-possible-for-bbpress-forums#post-18447 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 01:54:05 +0000 RossB 18447@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Yeah - good point. They're now talking about having a section of the forum password-protected. Think I'll just tell them it can't be done. Thing is, I have seen password-protected sections on vBulletin forums.

Especiall when PHP is running as an apache module in shared hosting sytems. Also for this reason its much better to use uniqid().<br /> uniqid() gives a 13 digits value. uniqid('', true) even 23 digits.
