Ehlo all,

i just want to share a solution for BBPress 1.0 Alpha 6 – WordPress MU 2.7 cookie integration — or a hack. My problem is that after installation of WPMU and BBPress, i can not make a single sign on : to make a user log in to BBPress can access WordPress without another login and a user log in to WordPress can access BBPress without another login.

I just use Cookie integration with WordPress installed at

/home/usr1/myweb

And bbpress at

/home/usr2/myweb/bbpress

After Googling i found hint about cookie domain, SECRET KEY etc, but it does not work …

When i check the cookie, the cookie from BBPress is appended with some words for example :

wordpress_logged_in_170v36454

meanwhile the cookie for wordpress is simply

wordpress_logged_in

I then change a line of code at bb-settings.php from

define(‘BB_HASH’, $bb->wp_cookies_integrated ? md5($bb->wp_siteurl) : md5($bb->uri));

to

define(‘BB_HASH’, ”);

Somehow IT WORK !

Thanks for your reply!

The post you linked to was talking about including bbPress into WordPress, which is the opposite of what I’m looking to do. I have the CSS and template files edited, and everything is in the correct spot and doesn’t work too slowly. The only problem is those few lines of CSS for my WordPress theme aren’t included on bbPress pages.

If anyone could help me out with this, I’d be eternally grateful!

When I view my cookies with Firefox it shows that they are setting the exact same cookie. They both set the cookie under the same site and even the same name. When I log in with bbPress it sets another cookie with the same name as the WordPress cookie. I need help thanks!

Hi,

I have integrated WordPress and bbPress. They both share the same table for users. I can login in to a user in the database from both WordPress and bbPress. SO they are correctly sharing the same user table. However, when I login as a user for the blog and then click on the forum then click to post in the forum it asks me to log in. I imagine it has something to do with cookies. I have gone through the docs on integration and the post by _CK_ but nothing has made it work yet.

Please help me identify the problem. If you want I can post the config files for both WordPress and bbPress.

[deadlyhifi]

@circuit – I had the same problem when importing the wordpress header. It is not recommended to import wordpress as it causes unexpected errors like the one you have seen. It is advised to use plugins to replicate wordpress functionality – although I have not seen one to date.

At the moment I am faking my wordpress theme in bbpress.

I presume future versions of bbpress will allow deeper integration.

[Ok Really]

I might be asking too much at this early stage …

* We need *all* user registrations to be approved by admin or a moderator.

* New users should have posting permissions in BBPress, but not the WordPress it is integrated with (unless those permissions have been explicitly granted by admin).

* Posting permissions in WordPress are granted by admin only after seeing evidence that the user is both responsible and competent to do so.

* It is easy to require admin approval of new WordPress users, but we would prefer all registrations to be through BBPress (there is no ‘register’ link on our WordPress).

Right now we are using WordPress 2.7, so we don’t have full integration yet. But it would be nice to think we might be able to work with our users in this way eventually.

[Marcomail]

Bel sito! Hai tolto il il form di registrazione di bbpress e non hai messo il link al pannello di controllo di wordpress, vero ? L’edit del profilo in pratica lo fai solo dal forum.

a me piacerebbe che gli utenti che commentano registrati abbiano un link al loro profilo, poi forse userei Gravatar per accoppiare gli avatar del forum con quelli dei commenti.

ti ho mandato una mail dal form del sito per uno scambio di link. bye

[Marcomail]

Do you think is it possible disable login for subscriber and the registration form of wordpress and use only bbpress for login/registration/edit profile ? i don’t have bbpress installed at the moment, but i don’t want two registration form, two login form, a wp panel and the edit profile of bbpress.

thanks

sig183, I disable the flash uploader using this WordPress plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/no-flash-uploader/

[chrishajer]

Yes, alpha and WordPress 2.7.

With the Flash upload bug though, can’t you just use IE7 or the browser upload, and then integrate WordPress 2.5.x and the 0.9.x series of bbPress?

[chrishajer]

This is not possible with bbPress as far as I know. bbPress does not live within WordPress or on a WordPress page. It’s not a plugin for WordPress. You can integrate bbPress to get single sign-on (shared logins) between bbPress and WordPress, and you can have access to WordPress functions in bbPress, so you can use get_footer(), get_sidebar(), get_header(), etc. But, it doesn’t work they way you are describing.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Version of bbPress?

Integration with WordPress y/n?

[chrishajer]

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/10

I don’t believe there is a definite date.

[erick_paper]

Any idea when bbPress 1 is out? At least in beta? I would really like this integration to work.

[pdimo]

Hey guys, im having the same problem as clementine only i have 768MB guaranteed RAM and its burstable to 1504MB+. I’m fairly sure its a mysql problem as every day or two the server starts to run very slow, when check the resource meter using TOP via SSH it tells me that MySQL is at 90%. The only way to fix it is to restart MySQL.

I’ve installed eaccelerator and played around with the my.cnf settings but i cant seem to get it running right. I only have 3 wordpress installations… the my.cnf settings are currently set to as follows:

[mysqld]

max_connections = 300

key_buffer = 64M

myisam_sort_buffer_size = 32M

join_buffer_size = 1M

read_buffer_size = 1M

sort_buffer_size = 2M

table_cache = 4000

thread_cache_size = 286

interactive_timeout = 25

wait_timeout = 7000

connect_timeout = 10

max_allowed_packet = 16M

max_connect_errors = 10

query_cache_limit = 2M

query_cache_size = 12M

query_cache_type = 1

tmp_table_size = 16M

skip-innodb

[mysqld_safe]

open_files_limit = 8192

[mysqldump]

quick

max_allowed_packet = 16M

[myisamchk]

key_buffer = 64M

sort_buffer = 64M

read_buffer = 16M

write_buffer = 16M

[mysqlhotcopy]

interactive-timeout

Any help would be much appreciated

I hate to bring this up again, but do to the lack of documentation for bbPress, I have to. I know the approach I’m taking will use more server resources and that most bbPress people tell you not to do it, but whatever.

I’m shooting for 100% seamless integration, with the same exact sidebar as the rest of my WP pages that updates with the rest of the site.

WordPress 2.7 is installed in / on my server, while bbpress 1.0-alpha is installed in /bbpress.

I added the following to/bbpress/bb-config.php:

include('../wp-config.php');

Then I replaced bb_get_header() with get_header() in the theme files, so my WordPress header loads just as expected, BUT wp_head does not execute, so most of the styling for my template is not loaded.

At what point does wp_head fail or get canceled? I tried this exact same thing with the stable version of bbPress, and wp_head executed fine, but I couldn’t log in (it logged into WordPress instead, weird?).

[briandbutler]

i mean…bbpress. alpha6 (not 4)

[briandbutler]

my problem is also “salt” related….

HELP!

I upgraded to wpmu 2.7, and bbpress1.0 alpha 4…. the data base was sharing…everything was almost perfect….but then….

I was in the Admin Panel for bbpress, and was changing User roles (admin of wp to be admin of bbpress, etc)….

Then, I saw that the ‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’ form was blank…. (in the admin panel of bbpress for wordpress integration)… I thought …”mmm., thats strange, I already entered that when doing the setup.!”…. so…..i entered the key again …..

oops, really bad idea

Now, i get an error message:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2) in /nfs/c02/h03/mnt/27695/domains/globotrends.com/html/forums/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php on line 123

HELP!!!!!!

how do i undo what i did?

where do I look? in what file?

my sites are here:

1. bbpress: http://globotrends.com/forums

2. wpmu: http://globotrends.com/community

Might as well, add my forums that I and a friend is working on.

I am using bbPress and WordPress for user intergation from my blog.

Just a Community

(Still being designed )

[reidwalley]

Totally über super-fantastic video, sambauers. I couldn’t have integrated bbPress and WP without it! Thanks a ton! I’m now running WordPress 2.7 and bbPress-1.0-alpha-6.

There are 2 specific things that got me past the “Forum could not be created” screen when I tried to install bbPress the first time:

1. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/basic-integration-screencast#post-22363

As the post above explains, I added the following line to the .htaccess files for my WordPress and bbPress installations:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

Thanks a bunch, chrishajer. It’s ALWAYS a .htaccess addition that makes my installation life easier – LOL.

2. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/basic-integration-screencast/page/2#post-22465

Thank you asymmetrik. This helped me discover that my WP 2.7 installation didn’t actually have a NONCE_KEY in the wp_config.php file at all. So, I ran the security key generator and got it.

BTW, sambauers , I’m totally diggin’ on your blog’s design/layout: http://unlettered.org/

[chrishajer]

It does not work with WordPress 2.7 AFAIK. bbPress 0.9.0.4 and WordPress 2.7 don’t integrate. If you want something similar for WordPress 2.7, you might have a look at bbPress Live:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-live/

[Radium]

Yeah, sorry for not updating on this. Since the forums are completely empty anyway I plan to move into bbpress as soon as 1.0 RC1 is released. My goal was to integrate the forums and the blog, but at the time I originally created the forums it was not possible without heavy modification which proved too time consuming. I have moved my testing of BBpress and wordpress integration to http://www.ridelegend.com/community/ however

[chrishajer]

The latest stable version of bbPress that integrates with WordPress is 0.9.0.4. That works with WordPress 2.5.x which is fairly old and you’re already past.

I don’t think there is a current stable version of bbPress that integrates with anything current from WordPress. WordPress is moving faster than bbPress right now.

What do you need out of integration that makes it important to integrate bbPress with WordPress? I’m asking honestly because I don’t understand why people do it. Thanks.
