Advice on reverse integration

   Sorry I hate to open another integration thread, but I've tried to understand this a few times and still don't get it.

   I have a wp blog and a bbpress install. They don't share the same database.

   The wp blog only has 1 or 2 users, the bbpress has a few thousand. What I want is to integrate these 2 so that if someone logs into the bbpress, they are also logged into the blog so they don't have to re-enter their login credentials when they post a comment on the blog.

   My wp is 2.7 and bbpress is .9.

   Does anyone have any advice on how I could achieve this? Or should I upgrade my wp and bbpress and try it then?

   Thanks.

   There was a recent post with someone in exactly your situation. :-)

   The key issue is integrating the user database first... then you can do a cookie integration fairly easily, using either ck or superann's plugins.

   Good luck!
