bbP 0.9.4 & WP (ahem) 2.0.11.

Unfortunately in a position that I can’t upgrade WP at the moment.

bbP is using the WP users table fine, but doubling up on the cookies for some reason.

[chrishajer]

This thread is pretty old. What versions are you integrating?

[bryanjrichard]

For some reason, I’m getting two sets of cookies being set.

Both WordPress and bbPress are setting wordpresspass_ & wordpressuser_ cookies. The domains and paths are identical but the hash part of the key is the different.

Any ideas why WP and bbP might still be out of sync after following the instructions above?

[Sam Bauers]

Actually the BBXF plugins have been temporarily removed from bbPress.

This one has been on the back-burner for a while, but hoping to base the first real release on the RSS or ATOM standard somehow. Similar to the way WordPress’ export format is based on RSS.

Okay, I’ve installed WP 2.8 (beta1) and bbPress RC1. It appears to be integrated together. Except the obvious: my wordpress site has no link for my visitors to click on to go to the bbPress forum. Should I create a “page” which (somehow?) redirects to the bbPress forum? i.e. so that it appears in the middle column of my WP theme?

Thanks,

// I tried posting this to my original thread “Missing form field ‘user database password’ during installation” but your system said the topic had been closed (?). Nor could I edit my original posting//

Further…after I tried to proceed, it showed an error (that it could not connect to the database…which you’d expect given that it didn’t have the password). However, after going back to the step 2 page, it showed a condensed version of the page, with tick marks in the various check boxes – the only way to see the data I had entered before was to untick each box and then put the tick back into each.

Original posting from other thread:

Hi,

I am installing the RC of bbpress and got to near the bottom of step 2, where I need to enter the wordpress database information (it is in a separate database). There is no field on the form to fill in the ‘User database password’ (under the ‘Separate user database settings’ banner).

This sounds like a WordPress question. You might get more support by visiting the WordPress.org support forums:

Support Forums

Couple things right off the bat though:

1. are you using any plugins that might be doing this?

2. does it happen with a stock theme?

Does this release still require bbPress Integration plugin for WordPress?

Yes.

Hi,

More info – if it might help resolve my problem:

bbpress: Version 1.0-alpha-6

wordpress: 2.7.1

Thanks

I have followed video integrating the database with ease. I now have your plug in for WP. I have copied the lines of code and have pasted them into my WPconfig file. What I have noticed with this code, I cant log out off bbpress, and every time I go back to wordpress it logs me out !

Any step by step directions on the integration would much appreciated !

[Florian]

Thanks to sambauers I got the login working across both systems now. The important trick is to add the following line to bb-config.php, unless you are using WordPress 2.8:

define(‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 1);

Now I have only one problem left: I cannot access the bbpress admin area anymore. I instantly get redirected to the forum. Any ideas what might cause this?

[vipul_satya]

i have installed bbpress in the root directory itself! now the problem is i want a user to login from a different page say index2.php and before getting redirected to the forum’s mainpage i.e index.php he should be redirected to index3.php. All the 3 index pages are in the root directory itself.

Basically i need a login box on the mainpage of the website and then after being logged in the user should be redirected to the backend of the website! Not the forum mainpage. The forums have been installed in the root directory so as to overcome the problem of bbpress not being able to share cookies over sub directories apart from wordpress! I use the database of the bbpress itself still haven’t got any success!

Hoping for a quick response!

Thanks!

I’ve just synced cookies on bbPress 0.9.04 and WordPressMU for the second time. I’ve read a few places that it doesn’t work or is difficult, so I wanted to share my solution. It’s really very easy. I wrote it up in a blog post:

http://www.callum-macdonald.com/2009/05/17/bbpress-09-and-wordpressmu-27/

It was remarkably simple (at least to me) to get it all working. Summary of steps:

1) Set all _KEY values to the same in WordPress and copy to bbPress.

2) Repeat for _SALT values.

3) Set COOKIE_DOMAIN and COOKIE_PATH

4) Settings > WordPress Integration > Show manual config settings, copy into bb-config.php.

5) From 4, change the authcookie value to wordpress_logged_in_

Step 5 won’t work exactly on WordPress standalone because it uses a hash in the cookie name. You can probably check the WordPress cookie in your browser and set it manually. Or maybe it’ll “just work”.

Then I whipped up a plugin to set / unset the other 2 WordPress cookies on bbPress login / out. It only works for WPMU right now. Somebody could probably improve it to work for WordPress. Code here:

http://www.callum-macdonald.com/download/wpmu-cookies.php-0.1.zip

This might be useful to somebody…

sambauers posted this in another thread:

Oh, I forgot, add this to your bb-config.php

define(‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 1);

When you upgrade to WordPress 2.8 later, you will need to remove that line.

Worked like a charm for me!

[chrishajer]

Looks like you integrated with WordPress 2.7.1 – did you integrate the logins? What version of bbPress did you install?

[Sam Bauers]

Oh, I forgot, add this to your bb-config.php

define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1);

[chrishajer]

Looks like your installation is missing the bb-load.php? Did you try to include bb-load.php into WordPress? If so, you probably just have the path to the file wrong.

Are the xxxx’s the path to bbPress or WordPress directories? Obfuscating that makes it hard to see what your error is really saying.

Also, what version of bbPress are you talking about?

[chrishajer]

Very nice. I see you’re using WordPress 2.7.1. Do you have integrated logins between the forum and the WordPress site, and if so, how did you integrate them?

[kingscast]

I just launched my site on WordPress and am loving it. http://kingscast.net (We’re about 98% complete with integration)

I also launched our bbPress forums site found at http://kingscast.net/forums – custom theme but playing around with integration of plugins, etc.

I’d appreciate any feedback! Thanks!

[chrishajer]

Because bbPress is not a plugin for WordPress, it’s not really possible, as far as I know, to make your forum appear in a WordPress page. Someone posted here once about putting bbPress in an iFrame and putting that in a WordPress page, but I’ve still not seem it working at all.

Most people create a theme for bbPress that looks like your WordPress theme and then they integrate the logins so you can log in once for both bbPress and WordPress.

Ipstenu, my skip-akismet plugin works on wordpress installs too, though there is some kind of subtle bug I can’t seem to find where it doesn’t catch everyone on the wp side, works great on the bbpress side however.

If you meant what will notify users of comments being held, this will do it:

What’s crazy is that was written back for WP 1.2, and yet it’s still needed, 5 years later.

[chrishajer]

I think it’s this WordPress plugin:
