I have'nt done it yet, i'll post the plugin whenever i get it done. it should'nt be much work (in thoery). anyone did this you guys, please let us know. suleiman on "Cookies and WPMU" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-and-wpmu#post-861 Tue, 31 Oct 2006 11:42:47 +0000 suleiman 861@http://bbpress.org/forums/ here's one problem mozey, you can't access the admin backend of bbpress anymore after you've done this trick! I'm signed in as my site admin, and although WPMU recognizes me as the admin, BBPress does not. mozey on "Cookies and WPMU" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-and-wpmu#post-783 Mon, 30 Oct 2006 02:40:39 +0000 mozey 783@http://bbpress.org/forums/ oh yeahh, i forgot to mention, i'm not even going to bother with the BB user table for anything!. I can get it to the point where i log in using one portals for both platforms, but i have'nt tested it beyond that. mozey on "Cookies and WPMU" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-and-wpmu#post-779 Mon, 30 Oct 2006 00:12:10 +0000 mozey 779@http://bbpress.org/forums/ suleinman, sure thing, okay, first of all, my bb and my mu are sharing ONLY the usertable and the login sessions. THATS IT, no common functions, nothing like that. and in order to do that, i added the following lines to my config.php on my bb. __________________________________________________ //These are for the information about the database into which bbPress should store its content // ** MySQL settings ** // define('BBDB_NAME', 'bbdbname'); // The name of the database define('BBDB_USER', 'bbdbuser'); // Your MySQL username define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 'bbdbpassword'); // ...and password define('BBDB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value // This is the information about mu's database. bbPress will look for users in this database define('USER_BBDB_NAME', 'mudbname'); define('USER_BBDB_USER', 'mudbuser'); define('USER_BBDB_PASSWORD', 'mudbpass'); define('USER_BBDB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'); //if your using one database, its cool, just replicate the mu/bb data! //now your about to tell bb to look for users in the wp table define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'wp_users'); define('CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE', 'wp_usermeta'); //and now, your about to tell bb to user the same sessions as wp $bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser'; $bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass'; $bb->cookiedomain = 'localgigs.fm'; // or .example.com if there was a . above $bb->cookiepath = '/'; // Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database. __________________________________________________ i hope this helps. do reply back with questions, :) suleiman on "Cookies and WPMU" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-and-wpmu#post-755 Sun, 29 Oct 2006 09:34:46 +0000 suleiman 755@http://bbpress.org/forums/ mozey, would you mind helping out a fellow mu'er and post the code to your working mu/bbpress integration? I've been stumbling again and again on getting the user integration to work, let alone the cookies! mozey on "Cookies and WPMU" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-and-wpmu#post-408 Tue, 24 Oct 2006 00:06:40 +0000 mozey 408@http://bbpress.org/forums/ PERFECT, mdawaffe on "Cookies and WPMU" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-and-wpmu#post-379 Mon, 23 Oct 2006 17:07:57 +0000 mdawaffe 379@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Try this. Look at the cookie you have from you mu site. (In firefox: preferences -> privacy -> cookies -> view cookies then find the cookie in question. I'm sure there's a way to do this in other browsers as well.) I bet it looks like this: Name: wordpressuser Domain: example.com // or is it .example.com ? Path: / Send For: Any type of connection And one for the password too: Name: wordpresspass Domain: example.com Path: / Send For: Any type of connection If that is the case, in bbPress' config.php set the following. $bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser'; $bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass'; $bb->cookiedomain = 'example.com'; // or .example.com if there was a . above $bb->cookiepath = '/'; If I'm wrong in my guess about the structure of yrour cookies, please post what they are (name, domain, path, send for only. Don't post the content of the cookie). mozey on "Cookies and WPMU" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-and-wpmu#post-369 Mon, 23 Oct 2006 14:30:14 +0000 mozey 369@http://bbpress.org/forums/ mdawaffe, thanks for the response, okay, example.com/someblog my forum is in example.com/forums i'm not loading wpmu, i was using at a point of time MU_BB was true, include_once('wp-config') (the syntax was right) However, i took that off since it was messing up my template, it was assuming that /forums is someone that wanted to register. should i solve that issue FIRST? if so, any ideas? :) however, back to main topic, what should i play with in order to share the sessions? mdawaffe on "Cookies and WPMU" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-and-wpmu#post-359 Mon, 23 Oct 2006 07:16:40 +0000 mdawaffe 359@http://bbpress.org/forums/ In bbPress, where and how are you loading wpmu? Are your mu blogs set up like someblog.example.com or example.com/someblog? mozey on "Cookies and WPMU" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-and-wpmu#post-352 Mon, 23 Oct 2006 05:18:49 +0000 mozey 352@http://bbpress.org/forums/ what i need done is for someone to log into thier mu account, and not to have to login again to post in my forums. mozey on "Cookies and WPMU" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-and-wpmu#post-337 Sun, 22 Oct 2006 22:39:04 +0000 mozey 337@http://bbpress.org/forums/ well it is a subdirecotry. and thank you, however, $bb->passcookie = PASS_COOKIE;? is not working. mdawaffe on "Cookies and WPMU" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-and-wpmu#post-334 Sun, 22 Oct 2006 22:28:42 +0000 mdawaffe 334@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <code>$bb->passcookie = PASS_COOKIE</code> Might work if you load wp before you load bb. Is your bbPress URL a sudbirectory of your mu URL? If so, you should be able to use the $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl variables. mozey on "Cookies and WPMU" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-and-wpmu#post-326 Sun, 22 Oct 2006 15:08:40 +0000 mozey 326@http://bbpress.org/forums/ i managed to get bb and mu working from mu's users tables THANK GOD. Now, i need them to have the same sessions, "name $bb->usercookie USER_COOKIE name $bb->passcookie PASS_COOKIE path $bb->cookiepath COOKIEPATH path $bb->sitecookiepath SITECOOKIEPATH domain $bb->cookiedomain COOKIE_DOMAIN" (documentation) SO, what would the code look like in my config.php? $bb->passcookie = $wp->{'PASS_COOKIE'}; ? .. This is not workig as nice. any clues?
