In places where something is entered into the users_meta table, it might be a good idea to prefix ‘bb_’ in front of your added values.

Honestly I’m surprised there isn’t a strict standard about something like this. WordPress modifications are the same way, often times emitting the ‘wp_’ which in my mind feels like it could cause some complications in the future.

Also, I noticed that there’s even places where both WordPress and bbPress don’t follow this in the core as well. I realize that it was never the intent to allow plugin access to those areas, but now that the proper hooks are in place and things are sharing that same space, it seems like the logical thing to do.

[John James Jacoby]

Good call. That alleviates one problem.

On to the next… Now all of the JavaScript loads properly and when clicking the “add to favorites” link, the ajax kicks in and works as per normal and makes it look like the link was added. The link actually shows in the database as a favorite, but the theme fails to load them correctly.

I’ve tested this on the stock template also with the same results.

Removing the WordPress integration from the bb-config.php file brings everything back and they work just fine. Comparing with WinMerge the source of the same page with and without that integration, they are identical. So somewhere something is getting in the way.

Yes, you should use absolute pathing. Try this:

Redirect 301 /bbpress/register.php http://www.scopedin.com/wordpress/wp-login.php?action=register

You want bbpress/register.php and NOT your theme because the main register.php is actually what gets called.

[mzimmers]

Well, I tried…it validated, but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything. The file in question is:

http://www.scopedin.com/.htaccess

the contents are:

# Use PHP5CGI as default

AddHandler fcgid-script .php

Redirect 301 /bbpress/my-templates/my-kakumei/register.php /wordpress/wp-login.php?action=register

Do I need an absolute pathname for the last parameter? Both of these are relative off of my public_html directory.

Hello.

Installed wp2.7 in root dir, and bbpress alpha 6 in sub-dir. Enabled permalinks, added code to htaccess in sub-dir.

Test 1. Logging in to wordpress admin.

Navigate to comments: shows logged in as admin user

Navigate to forum: not logged in

Navigate to forum admin: not logged in

Test 2. Logging in to bbpress admin.

Navigate to comments: does not show as logged in as admin user

Navigate to wp admin: logged in as admin

Is this how it’s supposed to work?

More info:

After adding the following lines of code to the wp-config file:

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

This does not change anything except, if I am logged in to the WP Admin, I can not log out. Clicking Log Out presents:

“You are attempting to log out of The Site

Please try again.”

Am I missing something with the code above? Should I be adding the domain name somewhere?

I appreciate your help.

A day later and I managed to somewhat temperamentally find a work around. I now have a new problem and figured it wasn’t worth creating a new topic for this.

I requested, and had approved, a request to have my plugin hosted with plugins-svn.bbpress.org. Other than an initial import call I’m locked out of the svn for my plugin: https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/adsense-for-bbpress/

Whenever I try to delete or upload a file I get:

Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to CHECKOUT

request for ‘/!svn/ver/1629/adsense-for-bbpress’

A quick Google tells me that “my profile wasn’t in the repository’s list of allowed users. Talk to the admin of the repository to see if you have rights (check the repo’s .conf file)” (from https://wordpress.org/support/topic/206466?replies=4).

If someone with svn access could confirm or clarify where I go from here I’d appreciate it.

Cheers!

oh, this is with bbpress 1.0 and wordpress 2.7

[circuit]

i had the same issue, but it turned out that bbpress had not written any of the key info to bb-config.php, despite me specifying this on installation. i added this manually and it worked:

define(‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘wp-auth-key’);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘wp-secure-auth-key’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘wp-logged-in-key’);

define(‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ‘wp-nonce-key’);

define(‘BB_SECRET_KEY’, ‘wp-secret-key’);

define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, ‘(wp-auth-salt’);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘wp-logged-in-salt’);

the first four are in wp-config.php and the second two are in the options page of the wordpress admin menus.

bbPress is NOT a plugin, it’s a separate application that can be integrated with WordPress.

Follow these directions to install bbPress.

If you want to integrate bbPress and WordPress, note that if you are using WP 2.6+, you must use the ALPHA build of bbPress. During your install process, you will be asked about server settings. Tell bbPress to point to the same DB you used for WordPress (don’t worry, it won’t overwrite anything, but do make a backup anyway to be safe).

The Basic Integration Screencast should help you some.

[englishlangprof]

Woah! Total newbie. Have wordpress installed on my host at http://englishforuniversity.com I have installed various plugins. But it looks like bbPress is NOT a plugin. I cannot understand any of the install instructions. I need to upload it to my host, but where do I put it? All the other things I have put into my wp/plugins. I have been looking but the instructions are way over my head. Any tips?

Oh, I’m sure it works just fine. The “yuk” was elicited by this:

5. search your bbpress templates and force all registrations/logins through wordpress from the several places they are buried on the forum (the WP login interfaces are far more developed) – unfortunately at least one bbPress login location is hard coded in the core which will require a direct hack everytime you upgrade.

I was hoping for something more one-time, but…I think I can live with this.

[John James Jacoby]

In my WordPress functions.php file, I am queuing up jQuery for some interface objects I’m using.

wp_enqueue_script('jquery');

It seems this messes with bbPress’s javascript inclusion, causing none of the JS from bbPress ever to get loaded.

Because I am using jQuery also in bbPress, is there a way around this that anyone can think of?

[aboutonlinetips]

Can anyone explain me what does the statement mentioned in bbsync plugin means –

“This plugin will disable bbPress Post. It can clean up bbPress Post, use the data itself and get rid of the old tables. This plugin does not add tables.”

Actually, I want two functionality after installing bbsync in my forum

http://www.aboutonlinetips.com/forum

1) Whenever I create a post then a new topic with same name should be created in forum. The comments on both (forum and wordpress blog) will be in sync. If anybody comment on forum then it should be visible to wordpress blog and vice versa.

2) Users should directly add or create a new or different topic in bbpress forum.

Should I Install it?

[John James Jacoby]

I am using the same plug-in and am doing exactly as Chris has recommended. Note that the user will not be assigned a role on the bbPress side until they actually visit the forums, because WordPress has no way to know that bbPress needs an additional capability.

I’ve thought about trying to port the plugin over to the bbPress side, but things seem to be working as they are right now and no one has complained about it yet.

[chrishajer]

I think forcing all registrations through WordPress is the way to go:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-intregation-between-wordpress-038-bbpress-not-work#post-10428

That’s an old post, but it describes the process best.

[mzimmers]

In my WordPress site, I’m using a plugin called “Register Plus” that permits me to define which fields are required for registration. (I’m only requiring first and last name in addition to email address.) Is there some way to enforce this on the BB end? I’m trying to use a single user DB, but I’m concerned about what will happen if people register on BB and don’t put in the fields I want.

As a fallback, can I disable registrations on BB and just force them to go to WP?

[bradandersen]

Hello,

I’m using WordPress 2.7 and there is no SECRET_KEY in wp-config.php, there are only:

define(‘AUTH_KEY’,

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’,

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’,

define(‘NONCE_KEY’,

Which one do I use? Do I need to enable something to get a SECRET_KEY into my wp-config.php file? Did I miss a step somewhere?

Thanks,

Brad

[Daniel Juhl]

I’m working with bbPress in some languages with special characters, but I think that the way those are being handled when making for instance topic_slug isn’t the best way. Is it something which might be changes in the core, or which function should I “change” to add the nicer translation. The following three examples are handled the same way in both bbPress and WordPress.

Some examples from the Danish alphabet:

– æ/Æ > ae (not changed at all)

– ø/Ø > oe (not changed at all)

– å/Å > aa (changed to a at the moment)

Hi there!

I had recently installed bbpress to my href=”http://www.going2campus.co.cc” and wordpress installed to my href=”http://www.going2college.co.cc”

I wish to integrate the bbpress into my wordpress but do not know how to do that.

Can anyone help me with this task.

Thank you.

[bandit99]

Great video & very useful, but…

Followed the info with WPMU 2.7 & bbPress Alpha & ok except cookies not working… Logging into WP as admin I get the 3 bbPress cookies set (I do get others set as well – these are just examples):

Name: wordpress_ Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/bb-admin

Name: wordpress_ Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/bb-plugins

Name: wordpress_ Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/my-plugins

Then moving to bbPress I don’t get logged in. I can manually log in as admin (the db integration works fine) but if I look at the cookies set by bbPress they include:

Name: wordpress_31f5b4f2f1336e7259bb25056b62d533 Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/bb-admin

Name: wordpress_31f5b4f2f1336e7259bb25056b62d533 Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/bb-plugins

Name: wordpress_31f5b4f2f1336e7259bb25056b62d533 Path: /wpmu/bb-forums/my-plugins

Despite the keys & salt between bbPress & WP being the same, the names & content of the above cookies are different between WP & bbPress.

So, looking at the above it’s not surprising the login between WP & bbPress isn’t successful. So, where did I go wrong or what is the problem?

Thanks.

[rjeevan]

okey…

Tanks for re post _CK_

One more question… ? do you know where i may find the Query [Database Query] filters?

Its there any available like wordpress? [eg. posts_where]?

[webdevelopment]

so i guess i answered my own question… apparently you have to use the unstable “alpha” version of bbpress with the latest version of wordpress:

Download

[webdevelopment]

i have wordpress 2.7 and im in the middle of the bbpress forum installation, however bbpress is asking for a secret key:

WordPress cookie secret key:

put your unique phrase here

This value must match the value of the constant named “SECRET_KEY” in your WordPress wp-config.php file. This will replace the bbPress cookie secret key set in the first step.

the problem is that since wordpress 2.6 there exists 3 secret keys for wordpress and bbpress is asking for just one and bbpress has the name of the variable wrong “SECRET_KEY”:

/define(‘AUTH_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

/define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

/define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

/define(‘NONCE_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

what should i do? i calso cant find which version of bbpress i have, is there a different version that i need?

[chrishajer]

Yes, the 1.0 branch will have integration with WordPress 2.7+

There have been quite a few 1.o alpha releases in the past few months, but they keep changing fast and wouldn’t be suitable for a live site.

[supreme87]

Hi all

I have the same problems with wp 2.7 and bbpress 1.0.6 alpha, if I login in wordpress it logout in bbpress and viceversa.

I have put in wp-config and bb-press the same auth key – secure key and logged in key

the salts too in installation of bbpress (i have take that from wp-admin/options)

and then i have added in wp-config.php

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

and in the bb-config.php

// Start integration speedups

// WordPress database integration speedup

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

$bb->user_bbdb_name = ”;

$bb->user_bbdb_user = ”;

$bb->user_bbdb_password = ”;

$bb->user_bbdb_host = ”;

$bb->user_bbdb_charset = ”;

$bb->user_bbdb_collate = ”;

$bb->custom_user_table = ”;

$bb->custom_user_meta_table = ”;

// WordPress cookie integration speedup

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://mydomain’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://mydomain’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ”;

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

$bb->authcookie = ‘wordpress_66640defe2164fce559625e843fb6d04’;

$bb->secure_auth_cookie = ‘wordpress_sec_66640defe2164fce559625e843fb6d04’;

$bb->logged_in_cookie = ‘wordpress_logged_in_66640defe2164fce559625e843fb6d04’;

$bb->admin_cookie_path = ‘/forum/bb-admin’;

$bb->core_plugins_cookie_path = ‘/forum/bb-plugins’;

$bb->user_plugins_cookie_path = ‘/forum/my-plugins’;

$bb->sitecookiepath = ‘/’;

$bb->wp_admin_cookie_path = ‘/wp-admin’;

$bb->wp_plugins_cookie_path = ‘/wp-content/plugins’;

// End integration speedups

Any Solutions? Really Thanks
