But the current issue is that it only takes literally 5 seconds to create another account becuase the new account details will be sent to the same email address over and over again. anyway, i never thought of the redirecting I guess im just losing alot of sleep, yeahs nice idea. .htaccess _ck_ on "Registering with another users email ???" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registering-with-another-users-email#post-17367 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:35:50 +0000 _ck_ 17367@http://bbpress.org/forums/ nv1962, it would be a good plugin to learn/practice from. Roughly 3-5 lines total. Essentially you'd add an action to bb_send_headers and just like my plugin above, if the bb_get_location=="register-page" you echo the redirect header for the wordpress page (and then do a die() so no other code can execute until it redirects). nv1962 on "Registering with another users email ???" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registering-with-another-users-email#post-17365 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:27:41 +0000 nv1962 17365@http://bbpress.org/forums/ The sole (arguably flimsy) reason I cleaned-out the register.php file is pure paranoia: to avoid directly injected calls that somehow (mysteriously) don't get caught by Apache (htaccess). Let's say I'm not too confident in my mad php skillz to write such a plugin... I'll try it with a redirect instead. _ck_ on "Registering with another users email ???" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registering-with-another-users-email#post-17364 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:22:47 +0000 _ck_ 17364@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Well login integration is not as important as the register part. As far as your instructions, I wouldn't recommend deleting the contents of a core file but the redirect part is okay. It occurs to me, it's actually possible to redirect the register page in bbpress to the wordpress side via plugin with no edits required anywhere. Remember that bbPress registration process should catch up to the WordPress side eventually. In fact I like it's layout better but WordPress's is more mature code-wise. nv1962 on "Registering with another users email ???" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registering-with-another-users-email#post-17363 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:17:53 +0000 nv1962 17363@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Sorry for the tangent _ck_ but... you really recommend redirecting all logins to WP, too? As in, <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/simple-integration-tip-for-new-registration">this silly thing</a> I just posted about "unifying" registration on the WP side? _ck_ on "Registering with another users email ???" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registering-with-another-users-email#post-17362 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:07:56 +0000 _ck_ 17362@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Yes, this is why I always recommend to people when integrating with WordPress that they redirect all login and registration links to the wordpress side. It's had years of development in that area. In any case, here is a simple plugin to prevent duplicate email addresses. Unfortunately bbPress has no way to place custom error messages on the page without template hacking but this should do: <pre><code><?php /* Plugin Name: no duplicate email addresses Author: _ck_ */ if ($_POST && bb_get_location()=="register-page") {add_filter('bb_verify_email','no_duplicate_email');} function no_duplicate_email($email) { if ($email) {global $bbdb; if (!$bbdb->get_row($bbdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM $bbdb->users WHERE user_email = %s", $email))) {return $email;} else {add_action('bb_foot','no_duplicate_email_alert'); return false;}} } function no_duplicate_email_alert() {echo "<scr"."ipt>alert('".__("email address already registered")."');</script>";} ?></code></pre> (bbPress 0.9 or higher required) nv1962 on "Registering with another users email ???" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registering-with-another-users-email#post-17361 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:00:46 +0000 nv1962 17361@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Impersonation might be a cause for concern. Plus, there's ye olde sockpuppet issue, which some forums expressly forbid. nv1962 on "[tip] Simple integration of bbPress/WP for new registrations" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/simple-integration-tip-for-new-registration#post-17359 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:45:40 +0000 nv1962 17359@http://bbpress.org/forums/ (Subtitle: how to use registration protection/filtering in WP for bbPress - the lazy but effective way!) Say: you're a PHP newbie (like me), want to run bbPress and WP, and have successfully completed the installation of the plugin to integrate the bbPress user database with WP's (whew!) and then you discover that people can register via either the bbPress or WP . Suppose furthermore that you're getting hammered by nasty bots registering themselves, and have an open self-registration policy on your WP blog/CMS, and therefore installed a nifty registration screening plugin (oh say, <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-recaptcha/">WP-reCAPTCHA</a>) and would like to use that for bbPress. How could you do that? With two simple edits you can: 1) Open the register.php file of bbPress (in bbPress' root directory) and delete EVERYTHING in it, and save your cleaned-out register.php file back to its place on the server (saving an empty file is to avoid a possible "file not found" error after the next step) 2) Open (or create if you don't have it - which would be rare) a .htaccess file in the web server's root directory and add the following single line (it's displayed here on two lines, but really ought to be a single line!), and put that at/near the top of your .htaccess file (assuming your bbPress install sits in the /forum sub directory; else, modify accordingly to point to the register.php file): <code>Redirect permanent /forum/register.php <a href="http://www.example.com/wp-login.php?action=register" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/wp-login.php?action=register</a></code> Make sure you substitute "example.com" with your own domain (of course). 3) This step is non-existent. Instead, enjoy your newfound unified registration bliss for dummies! chrishajer on "Registering with another users email ???" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registering-with-another-users-email#post-17357 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:31:17 +0000 chrishajer 17357@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Why is it a problem to use someone else's email address?

Edit the <code>login-form.php</code> template and wrap the entire <code><form></form></code> in something like this (untested) <pre><code><?php if (bb_get_location()!="register-page") { ?> <form blah blah blah ... </form> <?php } ?></code></pre> annailleselliot on "Removing Registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/removing-registration#post-17329 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 22:37:40 +0000 annailleselliot 17329@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Yay thank you so much, worked perfectly! pfox on "Remove registration fields" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/remove-registration-fields#post-17322 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:35:54 +0000 pfox 17322@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Thanks... that worked. Of course, after that I decided I wanted to add a field. I found this plug-in which you can also use to remove fields by actually modifying the profile fields, which worked equally well, plus allowed me to add a few fields. <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-allow-additional-or-custom-profile-fields?replies=8" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-allow-additional-or-custom-profile-fields?replies=8</a> pfox on "Hide login form on registration page" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/hide-login-form-on-registration-page#post-17321 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:33:01 +0000 pfox 17321@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Is there any way to just show a login link on the registration page instead of showing the login form?

I'm using bbPress for a support forum and it doesn't make sense to ask people things like their occupation and interests. I don't really care if there's not a plugin to do it (although that'd be nice), but I just can't find where the profile_info_keys are so that I can edit them. swaymedia on "Removing Registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/removing-registration#post-17308 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:09:55 +0000 swaymedia 17308@http://bbpress.org/forums/ it usually goes as follows:- `blahblah.com/forum/bb-templates/kakumei/login-form.php note: - "kakumei is the theme name, you could try replacing it with the title of your theme your using" find this snippet of code:- <code><?php printf(__('<a href="%1$s">Register</a> or log in'), bb_get_option('uri').'register.php') ?&gt</code> and replace it with <code><?//php printf(__('<a href="%1$s">Register</a> or log in'), bb_get_option('uri').'register.php') ?></code> all you doing here is blocking out this code by putting the blocks "//" which means the code (link) to the registration page is will no longer be there.

For a whole bunch of reasons I want to edit the bb press installation so that there's no way to register for the board through the board itself; I only want people to be able to register through the main wordpress site. Is there any way to block registration through the board, or just remove each element of it manually? I'm using the theme "Scoun" if it makes any difference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm experiencing the same issues (integrated scenario): User registers on bbpress and logs in there User can acces the WP Site Admin section, but it says: Welcome, . (a space instead of the user name) User comments are registered as 'Anonymous' I noticed the only way to fix this is to go to WP user management panel, editing and saving the user. So the user has to be actively (and manually :\ ) updated to have his name listed under his comments. I haven't found any way to avoid this, but if anyone can I'd be much abliged! cordoval on "Simple registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/simple-registration#post-16640 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 06:08:27 +0000 cordoval 16640@http://bbpress.org/forums/ solved!!! add a previous line fetching the posted value: $temp = $_POST['tpassword']; and then use: bb_update_user_password( $user_id, $temp ); That is it, you have your system where you can let your users set their own passwords.

Sounds simple but let's see where our code is. cordoval on "Simple registration" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/simple-registration#post-16619 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 05:21:25 +0000 cordoval 16619@http://bbpress.org/forums/ This sounds a past issue, yet I would like to add fuel to this thread. Please make me aware if there is already a plug in for this feature. I saw a note of _ck_ requesting this enhancement but I doubt it has gone through over these months yet. 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. 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. 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? Please you are welcome to contact me as I need to work and solve this issue.
