Hi there,

I’m working on a bbpress 1.0.2, wordpress 3.0 beta and buddypress 1.2.3 setup, but now I’m having problems with my bbpress. I did the same setup with 2.9.2 and that worked great, but I’m guessing WordPress 3.0 changed a lot.

Here’s what happened.

I installed wordpress normally with a different username than “admin” with my own password, all went well. After that I installed buddypress as a plugin, this went like it should as well. Then when I reached the bbpress installation (step 2), I entered all the secret keys and salt as I had them in my wp-config.php and pressed next step, it said that everything was validated but then in step 3 it let me choose a keymaster username, which I find odd since 2.9.2 didn’t. I entered a username/e-mail and finished the setup without a problem. No problems encounterd in the setup was said in the setup logs. Now here’s the strange thing, it made the tables in my database (which is the database that holds wordpress as well) but it did not make a bb-config.php file, so when I went to the URL of the main forum page, it gave me an error (which is when I discovert that there was no bb-config.php). It also made “bb_users” and “bb_usermeta” in my database. I made bb-config.php myself after that with the same secret keys from wp-config and setup wp integration in bb-admin accordingly. This gave me shared cookie logins with my wordpress install (having bbpress intergration plugin installed in wordpress). But after having done all this, I cannot enter my bb-admin area anymore. I checked the files and figured out that the function bb_auth was causing me to be redirected to the main forum page.

So my question is, anyone solved this problem yet or can you help me solve it?

function bb_auth( $scheme = 'auth' ) { // Checks if a user has a valid cookie, if not redirects them to the main page

if ( !bb_validate_auth_cookie( '', $scheme ) ) {

nocache_headers();

if ( 'auth' === $scheme && !bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {

wp_redirect( bb_get_uri( 'bb-login.php', array( 're' => $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ), BB_URI_CONTEXT_HEADER + BB_URI_CONTEXT_BB_USER_FORMS ) );

} else {

wp_redirect( bb_get_uri( null, null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_HEADER ) );

}

exit;

}

}

what is the name of your hosting company?

[robynh]

Yeah. It uses php5. What do you have to do, exactly?

[robalan]

zaerl,

Apparently I need the second pair of eyes for when I post things here. ;o) I copied/pasted the redacted code, but didn’t add the BB_.

On the actual config file, they are:

define(‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘same as wordpress’);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘same as wordpress’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘same as wordpress’);

define(‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ‘same as wordpress’);

[zaerl]

in your bb-config.php:

define(‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘same as wordpress’);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘same as wordpress’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘same as wordpress’);

define(‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ‘same as wordpress’);

[gerikg]

Does your server use php5? I use 1and1 hosting and I have to put a line in the htaccess or I get the same thing.

I think I might have broken something when setting up bbPress. I wanted it integrated with my wordpress site. While installing, when it asked for the username for the “Key Master” I put in Murgy, which is my WordPress admin name. Anyway, I went through the rest of the installation, integrations, etc. But now, when I log into WordPress, it logs me out of bbPress, and when I log into bbPress it logs me out of WordPress, so… I’m thinking that naming the initial Key Master the same as my WP admin name maybe wasn’t the smartest idea.

But anyway. Is there any way to fix this, or should I reinstall or something?

Hi Rabbitdk,

with manual coding it should be possible to display complete posts in wordpress.

I use the examples from https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-how-to-show-bbpress-info-inside-wordpress-without-full-integration to display an complete list of my forums and a short list of the newest topics.

http://www.mysteria3000.de/wp/

But I think – to make an original WordPress Post out of it – is not as easy as pure displaying.

hmmm….

For the last month I use the plugin ‘WordPress-bbPress syncronization’ (http://bobrik.name/code/wordpress/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization). But these plugin does it the other way – make WordPress Post to Topics in bbPress and display answers (post in bbPress) as comments in WordPress. A skilled php developer can use this plugin and change some code to realize your idea.

Unfortunately I’m no developer

[chrishajer]

You will get the password even if mail() is disabled, on installation. You either set it, or it uses the existing one if you selected a WordPress user as keymaster, or it’s displayed on screen. It will also mail, but that’s not the only way.

That’s why I asked, I can’t remember that (it was more than two years ago ver. 0.83)

If it works like for wordpress everything is cool.

[robalan]

Thanks guys—I’m going to have a more competent db admin switch over the WordPress database so that the tables have the wp_ prefix. Everything else seems to be default, so hopefully that fixes it (though if that’s what fixes it, I’m going to be pissed). ;o)

I’ll keep you posted.

[rabbitdk]

No, from inside the bbpress forum, I want to send a topic to my WordPress front so it’s published like a ordinary blog post

[gerikg]

Chrishaje, I think it’s something like this https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-recent-replies/#post-4989

but not recent replies but new topics that was just added….?

[rabbitdk]

Not sure that does exactly what I want, btw I am no good with codes, but that is explained pretty detailed so I could probably try it out (however, I just messed up my bbPress install while messing with permalinks )

I want the full forum post to be published as a blog entry, by the click of a button, to promote the posts as you said

[chrishajer]

Add a forum post to your WordPress front: does that mean if there is a forum post, you want to display it on your WordPress home page? As a sticky or something? You will do this manually whenever you feel like promoting a post?

[rabbitdk]

Hi there!

I’ve been looking for a while now, I can’t find anything that suits me

I am looking for a plugin that easily lets me (the admin) add a forum post to my WordPress front.

I’ve tried out bbPress-WordPress syncronization, but this only syncs comments, right?

Thanks in advance

[chrishajer]

During setup, the password is displayed on screen. If it’s not visible right on top, you can “show installation messages” and see it there. For a while there, I thought you could set the password as well, but I may be confusing with WordPress.

When you integrate and choose a WordPress user as keymaster, it just uses the existing password, so nothing is displayed or changed.

[zaerl]

Is it even supposed to show the WordPress users inside bbPress?

Yes it is.

I tell you what I have done. I have bbPress and WordPress on the same database and both have table prefixes. The blog is on my-domain.com/blog. The BBS is in my-domain.com/forum

On forum/bb-admin/options-wordpress.php:

1) the role map is key master, administrator, member, member, member.

2) WordPress URL is my-domain.com/blog, WordPress Blog is my-domain.com/blog.

3) Cookie salt “auth” valid, no Cookie salt “secure auth”, Cookie salt “logged in” valid.

4) AUTH_KEY <=> BB_AUTH_KEY and others set on (bb-config/wp-config).php and the NONCE_KEY <=> BB_NONCE_KEY

5) Table prefix set to the WordPress table prefix. Usually wp_

6) No advanced settings

On /blog/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress-integration-admin

1) bbPress URL = my-domain.com/forum/. Your plugin URL = nothing. WordPress type = WordPress.

2) Manual Cookie Settings tells me define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ ); which is defined in both config files (on top of those)

My wp-config.php:

<?php



define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );



define('DB_NAME', '...');

define('DB_USER', '...');

define('DB_PASSWORD', '...');

define('DB_HOST', '...');

define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

define('DB_COLLATE', '');



define('AUTH_KEY', '...');

define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', '...');

define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', '...');

define('NONCE_KEY', '...');



$table_prefix  = 'my_wordpress_table_prefix_';



if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');



require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php'); ?>

my bb-config.php:

<?php



define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );



define('BBDB_NAME', 'same as wordpress');

define('BBDB_USER', 'same as wordpress');

define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 'same as wordpress');

define('BBDB_HOST', 'same as wordpress');

define('BBDB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

define('BBDB_COLLATE', '');



define('BB_AUTH_KEY', 'same as wordpress');

define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'same as wordpress');

define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'same as wordpress');

define('BB_NONCE_KEY', 'same as wordpress');



$table_prefix  = 'my_bbpress_table_prefix_';

[gerikg]

What are the “bb_” keys in your DB?

It’s rare that someone doesn’t have a wordpress prefix. I would suggest as a last resort to export your wordpress and create a new database and don’t remove the prefix.

The login out when you switch from one side to another, it happens to some of my clients when php5 isn’t used. It happens to me. If your users aren’t on both then I doubt that is the problem.

Take a deep breathe, you got more users helping you out here than most posts.

Is it even supposed to show the WordPress users inside bbPress? I don’t even know—that’s how incomplete and fragmented the frigging instructions are. What a waste of time.
