wow wow, hold on!,
you posted -1 year ago. WOuld’nt that make you,,,, hold on!, double negative!. so yeahh your right!.
early!
On my setup, (different system, same concept),
i used a centralized mysql table which contains a mesh of all of the variables of all systems!. The reason wy i did that is, some of these usertables contain information which would change the bahaviour of the software, such as roll, last login etc. SO its not a mater of authentication and session ONLY. You also need the other stuff!!!.
i ALSO used a single portal for signup/signin. THIS SHOULD NOT BE SCARY (assuming that thinking does’nt hurt your brain). A good IDE will get everything done for you (search replace globally, find all instances of a function etc).
I reccomend http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ as an editor, and use PHP IDE as an ide ontop of eclipse. Be patiant, if you have’nt installed before, it could be a bit strang, but do take a better part of a weekend to figure out hw it works. TRUST ME, php will be your bizatch afterwards
well, its good to know the limits of your software thats all. However, what i was more interested in is, does bbpress somehow purge posts from the database and cache them somehow to lower the load on the DB!!?!?. Thats the only way I can think of how they go over this limit.
I just wanna know how they do it and i’m lazy to look over the code
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.
