Yeah, you’re gonna have to wait for WP to start using backpress as well for that to work
That kind of integration works fairly well with BuddyPress (due in part to how BuddyPress wraps around BOTH WP and bb) but for just WPMU or WP and BB? Not so much.
I’m trying to have a central signon at my site, where users must sign onto WP first and access bbPress via a page link. The logic you’ve provided looks like it can be incorporated to include the bbPress login page, is this correct?
I think kind of — I’m not 100% sure what you’re describing so let me try a different way.
If you force all registration to go through WPMU, then you can use the in-line login form, native to bbPress, to permit users to log in via bbPress, and they will still be logged in on WPMU. That’s the basic plus of integration
Login on WPMU, you’re in on bbPress, and vice versa.In my template, make my login-form.php file look like this:
<form class="login" method="post" action="<?php bb_uri('bb-login.php', null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_FORM_ACTION + BB_URI_CONTEXT_BB_USER_FORMS); ?>">
<p>
<label><input name="user_login" type="text" id="quick_user_login" size="20" maxlength="40" value="<?php if (!is_bool($user_login)) echo $user_login; ?>" tabindex="1" /> <?php _e('User Name'); ?></label>
<br /><label><input name="password" type="password" id="quick_password" size="20" maxlength="40" tabindex="2" /> <?php _e('Password'); ?></label>
<br /><input name="re" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $re; ?>" /> <?php wp_referer_field(); ?> <input type="submit" name="Submit" class="submit" value="<?php echo attribute_escape( __('Log In') ); ?>" tabindex="4" /> <label><input name="remember" type="checkbox" id="quick_remember" value="1" tabindex="3"<?php echo $remember_checked; ?> /><?php _e('Remember me'); ?></label>
<br /><a href="http://yourdomain.com/wordpressmu/wp-register.php">Register</a> | <a href="http://yourdomain.com/wordpressmu/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword">Forgot password?</a><br />
</p>
</form>What this does is, if someone clicks on the registration or forgot password links, is take them right to the WP side. Now from there, it’ll log them back in to the WP main page, IIRC, but the login form itself, being inline, will keep the user on the same page as they logged in from, so they don’t appear to go anywhere.
Does that make sense?
Are there any other backdoors or pages users can directly access from the outside that may need redirection?
Since the bbAdmin pages are locked to admins, I don’t think you need to worry about that.
Different topic. We’re talking abotu closing registrations here
Make a new topic for your request, por favor!(And chris – I was on topic
He was asking why an .htaccess is needed in general, and I was explaining and telling him he could make one to alleviate his closed registration issh. It was all the same discussion and topical! )
@DennisH – It’s not the glitter and unicorns that make a site hard to convert, but best practices
If you designed your website with good XHTML etc, it’s a simple matter (a weekend at most) to convert it to WordPress or bbPress or BuddyPress.And I do get what you mean about Gravatars. I rather like them because it gives people a sense of conformity in that Ipstenu everywhere has this icon and I am, thus, recognizable. Internet anonymity wishes aside, it grants me a level of credibility. I am me as you are we as I clearly need more coffee!
Put this in your forum’s .htaccess for a simple way:
Redirect 301 /forums/register.php http://yourdomain.com/wordpressmu/wp-login.php?action=register
Redirect 301 /forums/bb-reset-password.php http://yourdomain.com/wordpressmu/wp-login.php?action=lostpasswordI’m using it on my WP/BB and WPMU/BB/BuddyPress sites
Then you can create a PAGE in wordpress called Forums and it will link to the forums folder automatically.
That entirely depends on your permalink structure. You shouldn’t need to make a page for ‘forums’ at all, if WP is set up correctly, even as a subfolder under the main wordpress folder. I never do
