Any idea to integrate wp and bb login forms?
-
After integrating wp and bb and having wordpress header, footer and sidebar for both, wp and bb, I have these wordpress functions in my sidebar;
<?php wp_register(”); ?>
<?php wp_loginout(); ?>
<?php wp_meta(); ?>
And in bb press frontpage I have this one;
<?php login_form(); ?>
First, I thought I could replace wp functions in the sidebar for bbpress’ <?php login_form(); ?> but this function it is not defined for wordpress and I have got an error.
Besides there are two other problems;
* if users register through bbpress, their roles are not defined in wordpress
* if I remove wordpress meta functions from the sidebar I lose the link to the admin control panel.
Well, another option would be using the wp functions for login;
<?php wp_register(”); ?>
<?php wp_loginout(); ?>
<?php wp_meta(); ?>
and then changing their beaviour so;
* whenever you login you are not taken to the control panel unless you are the admin
* whenever you are an user and you click in “site admin” link wich appears above the log-out link, you are taken to the bbpress profile.php
My questions are; first of all, do you find any sense in all of this or is it just crap?
does anybody know where is defined wordpress login meta links so I can change them?
and finally, does anybody have a better idea?

“I’m not sure what you’re trying to do. “
-> I’ll try to explain better
My web will be made with wordpress and bbpress. Only registered users can comment wp blog entries and post topics in the bbpress forum. Login tables are integrated and bbpress is inside the wordpress interface. When you go to bbpress you can see there the wordpress header, footer and sidebar.
So, right now users could log in through two gates; wordpress sidebar or through bbpress frontpage.
Well, I want to get rid of of these two gates and I want to avoid users can access wordpress dashboard and profile because the interface of these two pages is different. However, admin still needs access to wp control panel.
“You’re the admin, right? You could just bookmark the page.”
-> Well, this is an option that I have in mind, but then all users that registered through bbpress will appear with “undefined” role in wordpress. And I can’t insert bbpress <?php login_form(); ?> in wordpress sidebar because it doesn’t work
“Otherwise I suggest you write a plugin that uses the WP wp_login hook and changes the hopefully global $redirect_to depending on whether or not the user is admin. That’s for wp. bb default login behaviour is okay?”
-> Unfortunately, I have no idea of how to write a plugin or a simple function
I can badly modify already made code.
Well, I have think in a more elegant solution, but this is for wordpress users that inserted bbpress in their wordpress interface. I have it half working though. First of all, my wp-login and wp-registering forms are integrated in my custom theme because I hacked wb-login.php.
Whenever you login in wordpress there is a function in the sidebar, that displays two links;
Site Admin -> link to wp profile.php
Logout
This links are defined in /wp-includes/general-template.php -> line 50
$link = $before . '<a href="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-admin/">' . __('Site Admin') . '</a>' . $after;You can change /wp-admin/ for bbpress/profile.php
The first failure of this theory is that bbpress uses an id to show user profiles; bbpress/profile.php?id=1 and I have no idea how to add this id to the link plus I don’t know if bbpress user id are the same that in wordpress.
The second failure is that if you are the admin you should get the original link to /wp-admin/
this should be something like if user = admin then “link to /wp-admin/” else “link to /wp-admin/profile.php?id=n user”
but since I have no idea of how to code all this I can’t go further
Hey fel64! thanks for the answer;
“If you’re not comfortable writing a plugin I’d be worried about hacking core files.”
-> I’m not skilled enough, I’m learning like you, through wordpress, but it is too much for just half month and I’d like to upload the new web by the end of next week.
Regarding the code, I asked this same question in wp forums and user whooami told me that;
“youre doing that assbackwards. The smart way to do what you want to do is to use an if/else statement inside your theme.”
The original code is like this;
function wp_register( $before = '<li>', $after = '</li>' ) {
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
if ( get_option('users_can_register') )
$link = $before . '<a href="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-login.php?action=register">' . __('Register') . '</a>' . $after;
else
$link = '';
} else {
$link = $before . '<a href="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-admin/">' . __('Site Admin') . '</a>' . $after;
}
echo apply_filters('register', $link);
}so bearing in mind the code you provided and guessing that I need to generate both links in the same way;
function wp_register( $before = '<li>', $after = '</li>' ) {
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
if ( get_option('users_can_register') )
$link = $before . '<a href="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-login.php?action=register">' . __('Register') . '</a>' . $after;
else
$link = '';
} else { if( current_user_can('administrate') ) {
$link = $before . '<a href="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-admin/">' . __('Site Admin') . '</a>' . $after;}
else { $redirect_to = $bb_profile_link;
}
}
echo apply_filters('register', $link);
}or replacing that
$redirect_to = $bb_profile_link;for;$link = $before . '<a href="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/bbpress/profile.php<!--call id user here --> ">' . __('Profile') . '</a>' . $after;What I don’t know is how to add the id user to the link ??? Since it is the same id user than in wordpress the must be a way
I tried “activate_plugins” and it works great! The only thing left is fixing the id number because it is showing “21”.
is” global $id” ok?
It works!!!!!!
The working whole code is;
function wp_registro( $before = '<li>', $after = '</li>' ) {
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
if ( get_option('users_can_register') )
$link = $before . '<a href="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-login.php?action=register">' . __('Register') . '</a>' . $after;
else
$link = '';
} else { if( current_user_can('activate_plugins') ) {
$link = $before . '<a href="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-admin/">' . __('Site Admin') . '</a>' . $after;}
else {global $current_user; $link = $before . '<a href="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/bbpress/profile.php?id=' . $current_user->ID . '">' . __('Profile') . '</a>' . $after;
}
}
echo apply_filters('register', $link);
}Now when any user logs in, wordpress sidebar displays a link to his profile in bb, but when is the admin the one who logs in he get a link to wp control panel.
Thanks a lot fel64!
got it, it is $current_user->display_name
so even more elegant; now when an user logs in has his nickname displayed in the sidebar
“Very nice, sorry my ‘help’ wasn’t that useful
“-> Not at all, without you this integration wouldn’t have been possible!
