I put this on the release topic but thought it would be easier for all to give it a new topic:

With 1.0 alpha 2 I have found that the logins work independently for WordPress and bbPress when they have been integrated.

So I can login into WordPress but also have to login to bbPress – the login isn’t remembered, and the same the other way aorund. When I login into bbPress, I have to then login into WordPress.

But hey, at least the logins are being shared and this seems good enough for me to make the bbPress forums live.

However there seems to be some partial login working between WordPress and bbPress as you will see as follows with respect to some analysis I did.

I hope this is of some use to the team.

LOGIN AS ADMIN:

LOGIN ON WORDPRESS:

Login OK and admin features OK on WordPress

Not logged into bbPress (e.g. register link and login boxes appear)

When trying to access /bbpress/bb-admin – redirected back to /bbpress

Log out of WordPress and..

LOGIN ON BBPRESS:

Login OK and admin features OK on bbPress

Not Logged into WordPress properly (e.g. comments section says login/register and no comments text area, register/login links appear in meta section)

However, when trying to access /wordpress/wp-admin – appears as logged in as admin OK with all admin features in admin area only.

LOGIN AS USER:

LOGIN ON WORDPRESS:

SAME AS FOR ADMIN:Login OK and admin features OK on WordPress

SAME AS FOR ADMIN:Not logged into bbPress (e.g. register link and login boxes appear)

When trying to access /bbpress/bb-admin – redirected back to /bbpress

Log out of WordPress and..

LOGIN ON BBPRESS:

Login OK and profile features OK on bbPress

Not logged into WordPress

However, trying to access /wordpress/wp-admin – appears as logged in (obviously with no admin features).

Well I’ve finally done it, Intergrated my WP blog theme with bbPress. It’s not as hard as you think once you look around. Anyway check out my intergration here:

http://www.james-blogs.com (blog)

http://www.james-blogs.com/forum (forum)

(There are still 1 or two minor CSS errors but the intergration of WordPress functions has been done successfully.

It’s taken me a few days to figure it all out, but I’ve finally done it. Although it does sound like im bragging alot. I also want to share a website that could also help you do theme intergration:

http://bbpressraw.com/bbpress_blank_themes/

This site provides blank themes that are literally the bare minimum of CSS, but even better they provide blank themes in type so for example my blog layout is a 2 Column design. I would also find this layout on bbpressraw.com and then begin editing it.

Being able to get a pre-coded layout with the bare minimum needed within it, certainly helped me alot. And I was able to understand and modify to intergrate my blog theme into it.

I hope this website can help you to in intergrating your bbPress installation

Sort of like this, but I don’t have any plugins installed:

[chrishajer]

Just mentioning this hear in case anyone is having a similar issue. On a new WordPress 2.6.2 installation, I have noticed that when I access the user profile page, the first password field already has a password in it, asterisked out. When I look at what that value is, it appears to be the value of the existing password, in the field for the new password (first field of two.)

I will check WordPress.org and file a bug there or see if anyone else has had a similar experience. It just seemed somehow related to this weirdness.

really the only functions I need is in my header the <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’); ?> for my nav bar, and in my sidebar <?php wp_list_categories(‘title_li=’); ?> is there a way to do these functions in bbpress without loading the entire wp functions this way it may not be breaking. because its the require once wp functions that is breaking my login stuff

[nekita]

I think it was pointed out by Sam that deep integration is still partially broken in Alpha2.

Personally I think that this will always be a source for potential problems and decided to just emulate my wp scheme in bbpress.

ok I changed the require once to this code

$bb->WP_BB = true;

if (file_exists(‘../wp-blog-header.php’))

require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);

else

if (file_exists(‘../../wp-blog-header.php’))

require_once(‘../../wp-blog-header.php’);

it got rid of the errors, however, now when i click on the admin link, after logging in, it just refreshes the page and does not bring me to the admin so now im exactly where victor is with his problem

[cayoba]

ok I have removed alpha 1 and tried alpha 2, now it will log in however, when I click admin this is what I get Warning: require_once(../wp-blog-header.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rosebud1/public_html/forums/bb-config.php on line 2

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/rosebud1/public_html/forums/bb-config.php on line 2

im confused because it does the wp functions in the header before I login so im lost.

[chrishajer]

You’re absolutely right. The only bbPress table with data in it is bb_meta, with 15 rows. None of the other bbPress tables have any data in them.

I did change the bb_ table prefix to bbpress_ and used a different one for WordPress too (wordpress_ instead of wp_) but that was all done pre-installation. The tables are there, just no data in them. It did read the WordPress user table at some point and told me the username to log in with, and “use current password” or something similar. So, somehere along the way, it died. I’m less concerned with getting my install fixed and more concerned with getting the installer fixed.

[Radium]

Yeah it wasn’t an issue with alpha 1 for me either. It must be something about bbpress that was changed.

[nekita]

Also this wasn’t a problem with Alpha 1, right? At least it wasn’t for me…

[chrishajer]

WordPress 2.6.2 svn checkout r8849

bbPress trunk svn checkout r1794

I installed WordPress first and that went fine. I logged in and changed my password. Then I went to install bbPress. bbPress installation appeared to go fine. I used simple keys with WordPress so that bbPress wouldn’t choke on them.

I got to the final step and got a message “There were some errors encountered during installation!” and then I checked off “Show messages” to reveal the following:

“Forum could not be created!” (that may have been visible before revealing the messages as well – I can’t recall.)

After that, I tried to access the forum anyway, but I get an error in Firefox3:

Redirect Loop



Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.



The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.

* Have you disabled or blocked cookies required by this site?

* NOTE: If accepting the site's cookies does not resolve the problem, it is likely a server configuration issue and not your computer.

 

There is no .htaccess in the WordPress directory or in the bbPress directory. bbPress was installed in a subdirectory of WordPress.

/var/www/htdocs/ch/wordpress

/var/www/htdocs/ch/wordpress/forums

Any ideas?

[cayoba]

I am having the same problem and I do have the <?php if ( is_bb_profile() ) profile_menu(); ?> in the header, it just resets, if i remove the require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’); it will log me in, other wise it just refreshes as if im not logged in.

I have wordpress 2.6 and bbpress 1.0 alpha. The bbpres is installed in a subfolder of wordpress instalation. All works very fine. But when I try get access to wordpress funcions I add the following code in the first line of bb-confing: require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-blog-header.php’);

After this, when I try to login in the forum, I see a “Page not found” page. If I refresh the page, it appears as if I’m not logged in, but when I am in the blog, I’m logged in.

[chrishajer]

Looks like the key I posted in the beginning there is not properly escaped within code blocks either. You can see the original key here, and how I posted it. If you check the source of that post, you can see how bbPress parsed it.

More info here, in the original format:

http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/wp-key.txt

[chrishajer]

d\EtHv;aK&V9;)L@rZ7-{P~u}~C~”N4O]=Cnw1pl=c2 !6-~b6!VHt9n;>&Tj-

That was my AUTH_KEY for WordPress 2.6.2 which was working fine. When I tried to integrate bbPress, it apparently read that key, but on step three of the installer, I saw this error:

http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/installer-step-3.png

As you can see, part of that key is displayed there (&Tj-) and I suspect it shouldn’t be, and was not being used properly in this case.

I wonder if this is why so many people are having log in/log out issues with WordPress integration. I am going to try a plain vanilla key (alphanumeric only) and see how that works.

[chrishajer]

It’s not a secret, it’s just not bbPress specific, it’s PHP. You need to loop through the array that is returned by that function. If you’re not comfortable learning enough PHP to accomplish that with the function, maybe you’d be better off the the widget. That’s why WordPress created widgets in the first place. It’s for people who don’t want to mess with PHP code. It’s drag and drop. Maybe enabling widgets in your theme would be easier than learning the proper way to loop through this array.

[cayoba]

Since I am the only one that will be posting on wordpress I decided not to use integration, i am using wordpress 2.6.2 with the alpha downloaded yesterday. If I do not use the require once in the config to use wordpress functions in my header, sidebar, footer, it works just fine.

[chrishajer]

What version of bbPress are you using, and are you integrated with WordPress?

[chrishajer]

Follow the instructions in the last section of this page:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#func

You want access to the WordPress functions get_footer() and get_header() so you need to include WordPress in your bbPress.

[Radium]

There is a problem with cookie sharing mainly in that WordPress fails to (because it doesn’t know it has to) set a cookie required for access to the bbPress admin area.

But wordpress seems to set a cookie that both bbpress and wordpress recognize (other than not being able to log out via bbpress), and bbpress sets a cookie that only bbpress recogizes. Does bbpress delete/overwrite the wordpress cookie, thus causing wordpress to be logged out after logging in with bbpress?

[Sam Bauers]

There is a problem with cookie sharing mainly in that WordPress fails to (because it doesn’t know it has to) set a cookie required for access to the bbPress admin area.

I’m pretty sure that the only way to fix this is with a plugin for WordPress. I’ll have to work one up. When I do I’ll post it to the WordPress plugin repository and announce it on the forum here.

I would like to implement my current header.php from wordpress at http://www.mypricesavings.com and footer.php as well to my forums http://www.mypricesavings.com/forums however I am not sure, I would also like to keep the current styling of the stuff sandwiched in between the header and footer that is currently there, im ignorant to this stuff however, I am good at following babysteps that are step by step if anyone has way to do this and keep the styling of the two merged to one

[patung]

Same here for the logout issue…
