One more thing….where exactly (when integrated with wordpress) does it store the ‘bozo’ information on a user? I have went through all the tables in bbPress and WordPress and I can’t seem to find it. I thought maybe adding a filter in the plugin might work, but I don’t know how to call it since it isn’t a database call.

I take my above comment back this isnt in an open discussion forum. Next time i will try to be more constructive

That would be great! I was actually suprised that Akismet doesn’t stop the registrations as well as the comments considering the power that it has. I can’t seem to find any way to limit spam registrations on bbPress, but something may exist.

If we can stop the ‘bozo’ user from integrating over to the WordPress side, then would it be best to leave that ‘bozo’ user in bbPress? Would it be worth having something that would delete ‘bozo’ users automatically at some point?

What would you recommend I do about this?

Thank you kindly,

Trent Adams

I have installed wordpress in the main dierctory, and bbpress as a subdirectory. They are both working fine.

I read the following entry :https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

However I would like to doble check.

“defining WP_BB as true” does it mean ..= ‘wp_bb’ ; or …= ‘true’ ; ?

and,

“define $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl as your WordPress blog address and WordPress address, respectively.”

does it mean :

$bb->wp_home = ‘url of wp’;

and,

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘url of wp’;

Thank you!

I have done a fresh install of the latest WP (2.0.5) and latest bbPress (0.73) earlier today and installed the WordPress plugin as described. I have also added the code described above to bbPress’s config.php.

Wordpress is installed on my root domain, and bbPress in a folder named /forums/

User registration integration is not working, is there something I have missed?

Thanks – pilks (AWSpress.com)

Hi Trent, thanks for the response

After installing WP (via fantastico) I uploaded the bbpress files to /forums/, set up database&user, ran the bbpress install script.

I then added the WP plugin as described above, activated it and configured it with bb_ (taken from my config.php).

I added a directory /forums/my-plugins/ and put the described bbpress plugin in there (although I probably didnt need to as it is a fresh install)

Below is my config.php that I edited as described (maybe I misunderstood somthing here?)

Thanks again for your help…

Hi Trent

I tried this, one additonal problem is that the logout function on the forums doesn’t work now, I have to log out from a WP page. Other than that, nothing has changed! Would it be easier if I were to delete the account from my server and try again, or do you enjoy the challenge?

I have no trouble logging in and out of bbPress, just not integrated with the wp_users table. You are using Wp 2.05 as well?

Trent

Simon,

I would change the cookie domain to be just awspress.com (without the period before it).

That should get the logout link on bbPress working better. I was not able to login as TrentAdams and come back to WP with an account created in bbPress, but when I created an account Trent with WP and then went back to bbPress, the user worked and so did the integration. It didn’t matter which program I logged in Trent with, it worked going back and forth.

That seems to me that the wordpress-integration plugin in bbPress is working and the bbpress-integration plugin in WP is not. I would uninstall that plugin and reinstall it after updating the cookie information in the config.php file for bbPress.

Let me know how you make out and I can test it some more.

Trent

Take the cookie domain and path information right out for now. It should work without it anyways and let’s do some more testing.

Trent

Does anyone else have any ideas that we might be missing here?

Trent

I have successfully setup my site to integrate registrations/logins between wordpress on its own DB and domain (blog.bakedlog.com) and bbpress on its own DB and domain (forum.bakedlog.com).

Files:

WP: wp-content/plugins/bbpress-integration.php

BBP: my-plugins/wordpress-integration.php

• I can create a user in wordpress and log into bbpress with it.
• I can create a user in bbpress and log into wordpress with it.(although the default role set for wordpress does not let me write (how do i change this?))

However, I too cannot get cookies to authenticate between the two systems.

I have included the following in bbpress’s config.php:

$bb->cookiedomain = 'bakedlog.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

I monitored the cookies created on my computer as I logged into each system, and noticed that bbpress was creating the cookie correctly, domain: bakedlog.com, while when I logged into wordpress it would set the domain on the cookie to blog.bakedlog.com.

So the problem is with WordPress..

Looking in WordPress’ wp-settings.php I see:

if ( !defined('USER_COOKIE') )

define('USER_COOKIE', 'wordpressuser');

if ( !defined('PASS_COOKIE') )

define('PASS_COOKIE', 'wordpresspass');

if ( !defined('COOKIEPATH') )

define('COOKIEPATH', $current_site->path );

if ( !defined('SITECOOKIEPATH') )

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', $current_site->path );

if ( !defined('COOKIE_DOMAIN') )

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.' . $current_site->domain);

So, in WordPress’ wp-config.php I inserted:

// BBPRESS INTEGRATION

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'bakedlog.com');

Clearing my cookies and logging into WordPress, I see the cookie domain is correct and matches my BBPress’.

But, there is still another problem, the cookies set by BBPress appends an md5 hash based on the site url and table prefix to the cookie’s name (ie: wordpressuser_bf17f59023eb22f…..) while WordPress’ cookie name is only: wordpressuser

I looked around in bb-settings.php and found:

define('BBHASH', $bb->wp_siteurl ? md5($bb->wp_siteurl) : md5($bb_table_prefix) );

if ( !isset( $bb->usercookie ) )

$bb->usercookie = ( $bb->wp_table_prefix ? 'wordpressuser_' : 'bb_user_' ) . BBHASH;

if ( !isset( $bb->passcookie ) )

$bb->passcookie = ( $bb->wp_table_prefix ? 'wordpresspass_' : 'bb_pass_' ) . BBHASH;

So, the next step is to define $bb->usercookie and $bb->passcookie in BBPress’ config.php:

// COOKIE SHARING WITH WORDPRESS

$bb->cookiedomain = 'bakedlog.com';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';

I cleared my cookies and tested it, VOILA! I can log into either section (bbpress or wordpress) and switch to the other without losing authentication!

==========SOLUTION===========

BBPRESS CONFIG.PHP:

// COOKIE SHARING WITH WORDPRESS

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';

WORDPRESS WP-CONFIG.PHP:

// COOKIE SHARING WITH BBPRESS

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'bakedlog.com');

==========********===========

Thats it I believe, let me know if it works for you or if you see anything I have done that could crash either program.
