Looks like you have added a function AND added filters to the private_forums_initialize_filters() function?

[Andrew]

I cannot find a function called private_forums_filter_private in v5.0

[Andrew]

Never mind, I found the variable in config.php. Pretty obvious.

'// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 15;

[Andrew]

Thanks. Someone else contacted me with another fix.

add this

<div style=”clear:both;”></div>

just before the end of wrapper div.. before this

</div>

<div

id=”footer”>

<p>Nyquist Forums is proudly powered by <a

href=”http://bbpress.org”>bbPress.</p

>

</div>

There are more topics but they are private.

I just set up a bbpress forum and use the WP user database. It works well though plugins are needed and some hackery of bb-config is required (see here.

I use the private forums plugin. There is another plugin that blocks all access to the site. You could always make ma minor mod to bbpress source to force login and not rely on a plugin.

I’ve seen some discussion on WP about BBpress. I believe they changed the way they handle tags in order to not step on bbpress.

[Andrew]

Advice taken.

[Andrew]

What about @

Many people use their email address as their login name.

ARGH.

[Andrew]

Great plugin, perfect for what I needed. Only thing missing is an email to notify the new user the account has been created.

I noticed that creating a user account in WordPress does not notify the user via email, so perhaps the current behavior is correct. Thoughts?

[Andrew]

Yes, but users reading the above… make sure to replace the MD5 hash with the one from your site. Do not simply cut and paste.

[Andrew]

Next step will be this…

I also went a step further and routed all the login links on bbpress back to the wordpress login box since it has a few extra features. I use the redirect_to option to bring them back to bbpress.

I’ll search the forum but any guidance is appreciated.

[Andrew]

OK, feeling pretty stupid now.

I used the first suggestion:

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser_full.hash.number’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass_full.hash.number’;

Except this time I replaced it with my actual MD5. DUH!!!

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser_ed93838a3c2677b2a3d53669c26b039b’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass_ed93838a3c2677b2a3d53669c26b039b’;

Things working smoothly now. Thank you for your help and I hope this thread helps someone else.

[Andrew]

Everything _ck_ mentions is what I want to do.

[Andrew]

I still have the cookiepath variable set… can I remove that?

[Andrew]

Now I can’t log in to BBPress. Changing the config.php back.

Is there something atypical about my install that is creating the problem. How can I just conform to the norm?

[Andrew]

I assume you mean….

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser_full.hash.number’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass_full.hash.number’;

double quotes at end changed to single. Trying now.

[Andrew]

I think I see the problem now. BBPress is setting a different MD5 hash than wordpress. This must have to do with the fact it is installed in the subdirectory. Why is my install generating the wrong hash…

My config.php is set up as above. Ive pasted it below. I included the full URL coding where as you used only the http://www.xxxx.xxxx – I can’t imagine that makes a difference.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.nyquistcapital.com/&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.nyquistcapital.com/&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’; // Added per BBPress Forum Suggestion to ensure WordPress user sharing

I did the original install as Trent specified above. I also added in fel64’s suggestion. I didn’t see any changes in the behavior as a result.

Let me reiterate. BBPress and WOrdpress are sharing a user database now. I can sign into BBPress using the name/pw combo of any existing WordPress user.

What I expected though, is that a user already signed into WordPress would transition into BBPress (for the first time, as a new user) and automatically be logged in. Currently, they need to relogin using the same WordPress username and password.

Which behavior should be expected? I am looking for a seamless addition of forums for my existing client base….

Thanks for the great help.
