Aha!
I thought the hash value was unique for each user.
Apparently it’s unique for each blog.
so
$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser_full.hash.number”;
$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass_full.hash.number”;
Did the trick in config.php
Since WP 2.1+ uses the hash number, probably should update the instructions around the site. Thanks again!
Hi, sorry I’ve read and read and tinkered and tinkered without luck.
BB does not see the WP logged in cookie for some reason.
wordpress is in /news/
bbpress is in /forum/
I am using a plugin on wordpress to change the cookie path to “/” and firefox shows the cookie is indeed set to the “/”
the domain is set to “example.com” without the “.”
right now I’ve got in config.php set as
$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;
$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;
$bb->cookiedomain = ‘example.com’;
$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;
So what little detail have I missed?
Thanks for any help!
If the twitter API can bring in an RSS feed, it can pull your bbPress feed for sure. That would be what the wordpress plugin is doing anyways. Just need to look into that I would guess.

Interesting to see if anyone is since most people here concentrate on bbPress and WordPress.

There is a plugin here called ‘bbPress Post’ that integrates your wordpress blog comments into your bbPress forum as topics for posts. Fel64 also ‘redid’ this plugin and has it so the posts are created in the bbPress forum from the wordpress blog and all comments are in the forum, but also show up in the wordpress post as comments as well.
Other software blog programs, I haven’t heard of any. Moving over to WordPress is a good option in my mind if you haven’t looked at it already since bbPress and WP are made and developed by many of the same people

I have bbpress(0.8.2) integration with wordpress(2.2.1).
I did not have any forum management before I add a forum to my previous wordpress website. Number of users are increasing daily. So as I did not have any experience with management of a forum, I have some problems.
In the beginning I installed to standard version of bbpress. After one month of forum experience, I want to add moderation plugin. Because my users are not experienced forum users. I have a range from middle school students to company owners or retired workers.
Some of the users sends strange messages, which I dont want to see on my forum.
Some of them do not allow forum rules. And some of them dont know how to use a forum. Namely when they have a new question, they write “I know it is not related to the subject …”.
I think what I need it to make the all messages for new users, moderated. Or all messages are moderated. I dont know why but the moderation plugin do not work with latest version of bbpress. So I have to uninstall the plugin and make messages un-moderated.
I will also try “move it” plugin, for unrelated messages to subject of message.
But what is the best management style for such a community. I think bbpress.org do not need moderation of messages, because at least its community know how to use a forum.
Is it better, not to waste my time to manage the forum. Namely no moderation to messages or just live what ever people writes to the forum. As I said before this is my first forum, and I also dont want people to use msn-type language usage. Am I fascist 
?
I tried just copy-pasting my kakumei css to my wordpress css and while the structure of bbpress got back to normal with some minor quirks, it majorly disrupted my header and footer and with it my wordpress as well. How would I work around this, any other way then going through the stylesheets and changing everything so nothing’s colliding? I feel that’s A LOT of work.

Turns out my problem was rewrite rules from wordpress overwriting bbpress ones. Whoops.
Should be very straightforward to do from the wordpress base. Could be nice to do it for both wordpress and bbpress.
For anyone with an interest, i figured how to make a simple private user area
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/124247?replies=1
here’s the kicker on the BBpress end, since a wp account will be created for users who join the forum, what i did was leave the subscriber setting alone and adjusted the contributer to read/read private pages only, that way there’s no interference for default users accounts when people join the forum
hey can anyone help me out been trying to install bbpress
i then run the index.php file and this is the error it gives me

PLEASE
can anyone throw some light on this one
Hi,
Is there any way to display recent posts on a wordpress static page.
Thanks,
Daniel
…. you know, I wonder why I didn’t catch that either. lol.
Okay, well, after fixing that, it now forwards me to the admin interface like it should and lets me log in on the WordPress site.
That said, if logged in on the WordPress site, I am still not logged in on the forums- or at least, so it appears. It still asks me for login info.
From there, I tried logging in as admin using another browser, and saw that the test account was listed as online in the forum.
Confusion abounds.
It is still the case that if I log in on the forums, I’m logged in on the wordpress site.
No problem- I wonder why it is you didn’t get them? I’ll try making another test account to see what happens. EDIT: I tried out a test account and got my login info instantly- perhaps an email typo?
I cleared cookies and tried logging in via the wordpress side.
I only got one cookie logged, here’s all the info since I’m not sure what you’re looking for:
website: http://www.audreysargent.com
Name: PHPSESSID
Path: /
Secure: no
Expires: (blank)
Contents: d43da8c677366727ecfdb8a5f0fa4b9e
Further update on this.
I’ve tried logging in as the admin at wordpress, and even that will no longer work. Not only does it not forward me on to the admin interface, it doesn’t log me in at all.
It seems that if I log into the forum interface, then I’m logged into the WordPress interface just fine, and I can access the control panel as usual by using the link.
In addition, no one can log out now either- I assume that option should still be working.
This has obviously turned into a non plugin issue, so if you guys want to move it to the appropriate spot that’s fine.
Ok one is seen as Administrator until browing to the WordPress site, where the bbpress-inegration-plugin is activated and the rights are changed to the default role.
Still weird that no usermeta means Admin-role in WP.
Found out that bbpress-intergration-plugin in WordPress correctly updates user-metadata when going through WordPress-login. But when using the bbpress-login, then it just creates a cookie and when browsing to the WordPress site, then one has Admin-priviledges because user-metadata is non-existing (quite odd actually).
I’m using bbPress 0.82 and every time I create a user then it gets the role WP role as Administrator (Eventhough the default role is subscriber). I’m not using any plugins in WP to handle role-management.
Guess I will have to redirect user-registration in bbPress to WP, to avoid this issue.
I have one over at yourkahil.com/forum
still in the works as I am integrating my custom wordpress theme into it…
For those of you who have your wordpress and bbpress installs together and would like have the avatars display in the wordpress side as well…
Here is some code you can add… This is what I use in the sidebar over at yourkahil.com
<?php global $user_identity;
get_currentuserinfo();
if ($user_identity == ”) {
echo(‘Welcome Guest’);
} else {
echo(‘<img src=”/forum/avatars/’ . strtolower($user_identity) . ‘” alt=”avatar” />’);
}
?>
This will work if you would like to display the avatar outside of the loop in bbpress as well. All you have to do is change the image source line to reflect where you have your avatars stored…
Hope that helps some people!!!
An update- that worked splendidly, EXCEPT:
Now when you create a new account and go back to login, after typing in username and password, the redirect to the admin control panel on wordpress doesn’t work- so you get stuck back on the login screen thinking it didn’t work.
If you’d like, you can create a test account to see what I mean.
Thoughts?
Yes, he only registered once. If logging in to one should log you into both, then things definitely aren’t working the way they’re supposed to.
The way things are set up is the following:
WordPress is installed in my root HTTP directory.
BBPress is installed in a subdirectory called “forums”.
You can see everything in action here (put on your sunglasses, it’s bright.):
forums at http://forums.audreysargent.com
Need more info?
Thanks for the help.
an update…
I didn’t know until I tried, but you can leave that .jpg out and it will load any image file that matches that query.
