In your bb-config.php file put this code:

define( 'COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.your-domain-name.com' );

define( 'SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' );

define( 'COOKIEPATH', '/' );

If you’re using WordPress, make sure you put the same in the wp-config.php too.

Now, I know this isn’t supported or well-liked or even neccessary these days (was it ever), but I still put this legacy code into my bb-config

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.my-wordpress-url.com';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.my-wordpress-url.com';

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';

$bb->user_bbdb_name = 'my-database-name';

$bb->user_bbdb_user = 'my-database-username';

$bb->user_bbdb_password = 'my-password';

$bb->user_bbdb_host = 'localhost';

$bb->custom_user_table = '';

$bb->custom_user_meta_table = '';

$bb->authcookie = 'wordpress_';

$bb->cookiedomain = '';

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '';

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';

Does it make any difference? I doubt it. But with all the integration stuff over the years, I’ve become a big fan of covering the bases.

I’m using WordPress 3.0 and bbPress 1.0.2.

Set all cookie paths to the root /

Can you please explain little bit more about it?

[_KB_]

Thanks _ck_ besides my cookies related question (now I’ll ask about it in my other thread), also I’ve asked a question about the transformation the data from standolone to plugin.

No-6: If I install multiple bbpress instances (right now), then after (in future ) bbpress-Plugin’s announcement will I able to switch from standalone to bbPress-Plugin with same plugins, database, users, content, without losing anything???

P.S I think matt is no more on bbpress, or not interested in my question.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

@_ck_ awesome plugin you have there

I guess all your plugins are tagged https://bbpress.org/plugins/tags/_ck_

right?

And I believe even your updated plugins support 0.9 ?

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

yes _ck_ is right

integrate as many installs as you want. be it on sub-domains or sub-directories

[Danial Hatami]

Hi everybody,

I searched for the themes for my bbforum like this : http://wordpress.org/support/ but I found one theme that it named mimic, i guess. but the style and the color is not the same. I need it ( this theme : http://wordpress.org/support/ ) for the Persian WordPress Supporting ( fa-wp.com ) …. Please Help Me … Please (

You don’t even need a plugin for this.

You just need to fix your cookie settings and it will work instantly.

Set all cookie paths to the root /

and make sure they are all using the same key/hash which is likely the problem.

You didn’t say which version of bbPress you are using, it appears to be 1.0.2

I don’t think I’ve ever bothered to figure out all the new variable names under 1.x which is why you can’t find them around here.

[_ck_]

Yes, there are already sites using it that way.

In fact if they are all using the same domain “example.com” then you don’t even need an extra plugin to do it.

Set all the cookie paths to the domain root. /

Point all the user tables to the same db.

Setup the same cookie keys/hash and done.

This wasn’t really a question for Matt unless in general people want to know how a bbpress plugin would handle multiple installs. As far as I could guess, you’d have to install multiple copies of WP.

It’s a known issue of deep integrating bbPress 1.0.2 with WordPress 3.0. One of mine plugins solve this:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/zaerl-wordpress-3-integration/

[Erlend]

So I’m wondering, how will the bbPress plugin deal with front-end editing? It’s certainly not uncommon that you need to go back and edit your post, and when you do that you’d rather not be sucked into the WP admin panel just for a quick edit. However, from the little I’ve experienced and read about plugins taking advantage of custom post types in WordPress, front-end editing is no simple task.

Example one: BuddyPress Wiki Component

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-wiki/

In order to achieve front-end editing of wiki pages (custom post type), it bundles its own TinyMCE script. This also allows it to extend TinyMCE with wiki-specific features.

Example two: Justin Tadlock’s Custom Post Type based Forum

http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/07/16/a-wordpress-forum-plugin-using-custom-post-types

At the time being, front-end editing is not possible with his forum, and according to his roadmap the forum will use existing inline-edit plugins available (I believe Scribu’s editor was mentioned somewhere).

—

I wouldn’t imagine the official bbPress plugin would resort to yet another plugin for such a basic functionality, so what’s the plan? What I’d love to see is rich front-end editing based on the native WP editor, meaning if I have plugins that extend the native editor, they also extend the front-end editor (provided its within the scope of the editor-extending plugin and the admin enables it).

Best case scenario, this involves modifying the WordPress core so that plugins like the two mentioned above will also have an easier time tapping into native WordPress for front-end edits.

[Erlend]

I’ll just say this: All I’m seeing is many bbPress standalone users passionate about keeping bbpress.org as the home for the standalone software that they’ve come to rely on, while the only people steadfastly arguing bbpress.org should be the home of the new WordPress Forum plugin, are the core developers. While the rest of us, those who are eagerly planning to make the switch from standalone (or BuddyPress) script to plugin when the time arrives, couldn’t care less what it’s called, as long as it’s official, sleek and solid.

In other words:

“Keep the bbpress.org domain for the software it is today! Make a new one for the plugin!”

In favor: Several

Opposed: Few

Don’t care: Thousands

So there are some benefits about sticking to bbpress.org thrown about, but what have you got to lose by picking a new name? What happened to making everyone happy when you’ve got the chance?

I reckon we’re all pro innovation, right? As far as I’m concerned, I’m only typing up this rant in an attempt to foster innovation, and that’s it. Either which way this turns out I’ll still have the plugin I’ve always dreamed of. I just want it to become the best it can be.

We could probably keep the existing bbP directory running in a different directory to give people time to transition.

Not everyone’s going to ever make that transition, you know that.

In the wake of just a couple days of posting, I think it’s pretty evident that a bbPress fork, or 0.9 continuation more like it, is a pretty likely forecast. Now where could a front runner or two organically emerge to lead such a new initiative? bbPress.org. Where would such an initiative pick up the most momentum? bbPress.org. I couldn’t think of a significant third, but if I did? bbPress.org.

Does a bbPress plugin need any of this? No. A single mention on WordPress.org/.com (include the rest of the WordPress/Automattic ecosystem for good measure) and this plugin will have more buzz than any domain by itself could ever achieve anyway.

And I don’t believe a standalone bbPress fork would damage WordPress. If anything, it would only challenge its limits. bbPress will be shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Vanilla, while WordPress + Forum will be just that; +reason why you should pick WordPress to build your website. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that someone who wants just a forum will pick a plugin powered by a blog. If you want eggs you get eggs, not a full English breakfast with eggs on top.

“This just in: WordPress foundation gives bbpress.org back to the community that’s been keeping it alive” That’s what I wanna see. Openness for the friggin’ history books.

Hi all, id like to set up a wordpress website that lets a user signup which then gives them their own blog and also gives them access to the forum – is this possible?

then as an extra but not essential – is it possible to do the above but use facebook connect to gain access to the above?

hope that makes sense

[Chip Bennett]

Call me crazy, but I’m excited about this change. Initially, I wasn’t – but bbPress integration into WordPress has only benefits for me.

I can’t wait to see it come to fruition – and then get to work modifying my theme(s) to accommodate bbPress-as-WP-plugin! (Hey, what are a few more template tags, functions, and hooks to learn, among friends?)

[yetanotherlogin]

To have WP send my admin password, I edited php.ini to use my ISP’s SMTP server instead of “localhost” (no SMTP server on this test host), restarted PHP-FastCGI, and clicked on the WP “Lost your password?”, but I get this:

“The e-mail could not be sent.

Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function…”

So can’t get the admin password back. Anyway, since it doesn’t complain about the password and just loops back, I assume it has to do with the WP/bbPress integration?

[Pete Mall]

No, the plugin is built directly on top of WordPress.

[Brian Duffy]

I installed wordpress using simplescripts. I installed bbpress manually.

Everything works fine until I add the following line to bb-config.php

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../wp-load.php’);

After adding the above code I can no longer login to bbpress.

Instead I get the below error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class PasswordHash in /home7/brianduf/public_html/wordpress/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.passwordhash.php on line 38

If anyone could help to throw some light on this for me I would be over the moon : )

[_ck_]

Yeah I suspected as much. Thanks for switching it on Otto!

Sam did some work and then a great deal was copied over for bbpress.org 2.0

I noticed the xml generator was there and the flash element was on bbpress.org too.

Now if we could just get DD32 (Dion) to document the darn API for it as I have no clue how to use it and can’t find anything via google (other than downloading the ENTIRE dataset). https://api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/

Oh wait, here’s something http://wordpress.pastebin.com/raw.php?i=7Ji8rD2P

bingo – docs: http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-hackers/2009-January/023505.html

Doesn’t seem to be on the bbPress side anyway after all that, oh well.

ps. I don’t suppose you can get tags working again in the plugin section – they are not being imported from the readme.txt file anymore. Is it because of the tag api name changes from bbpress 0.9 -> 1.0 ?

ie. add_topic_tags became bb_add_topic_tags

but that’s in the deprecated support, so not sure what else it might be

[yetanotherlogin]

Thansk Kevin for the link.

I followed the whole procedure down to “3. Deep Integration > 8. Log into WP Dashboard”… but now, I can no longer log on (/wordpress/wp-login.php)

FWIW, it doesn’t say that the password is incorrect, but it loops back to Username/Password.

Tried Chrome and Firefox, same result. I did empty the browser cache, as asked in the procedure, same result.

FWIW2, I can still log on to bbPress as admin.

Any idea why I can no longer log on to WP?

BTW, when is “deep integration” needed? I’d simply like a link to the underlying bbPress forum to be displayed in the WordPress main UI.

Thank you.

ck, Reference: see it

So, here exactly What I want,

Suppose I’ve planned to run multiple discussion boards, and I’m using

http://zptest.info/ ( WordPress )

http://zptest.info/students/ [bbpress 1]

http://zptest.info/teachers/ [bbpress 2]

http://zptest.info/management/ [bbpress 3]

I’ve done:

-1: Shared User Integration ( Works )

-2: Shared Database Integration ( Works )

-3: Shared Cookies Integration (Not Works, that’s what I want)

I’ve followed all instruction from bbpress Integration tutorial

Now cookies not works, you can test it at zptest.info

user: test

pass: test

(I can send also admin’s or ftp detail, if anyone really interested)

cookies are conflicting, sometimes not logout from other boards.

Suggestion:

I’m hopping there should be a plugin, just for set cookies for multiple boards in same domain.

People just do, user integration, and database integration.

then install ( cookies plugin ), that’s all,

Come on, _ck_, you can do it,

Thanks

KB

[_KB_]

@_ck_ i’m running multiple bbpress instances like

example.com/bbpress1

example.com/bbpress2

example.com/bbpress100

Is your plugin will work for this situation?

Also curious for matt’s response.

Thanks

[_ck_]

KB: “after that they are just unable to set cookies integration over multiple boards”

My cross-cookie plugin allows you to set cookies over multiple domains running bbPress and WordPress. There are a few sites using it to share a cookie over several installs.

[Ryan Hellyer]

@wtfmatt2 – Please bug off and stop ranting. Either that or articulate your responses into a respectful manner. Matt and co. are doing their best. Ranting and whining is achieving nothing more than making you look like a complete tool.

[Martin Hasan]

Been there, done that. Even though I’m using the same database for wordpress/bbpress it doesn’t recognizes the new user as an admin.

[_KB_]

@ Matt Mullenweg Thanks Man for your response, I really sorry, if you did not understand my sentences, I try again to explain them,

No-1 – How did you set cookies integration b/w various wp forums?

No-2 – Did you apply the same procedure for all forums like this bbPress Integration Tutorial?

No-3- If you apply the same procedure ( link above ) for all forums then why it did not work for us, Did you apply some extra techniques to work them together? Can you plz describe them?

No-4 – Shared user integration and Share database works for us, we just need cookies integration over multiple bbpress instances.

Additional Questions:

No-5: Is hosting matters in cookies integration?

No-6: If I install multiple bbpress instances (right now), then after (in future ) WP-bbP-Plugin’s announcement can I switch from standalone to bbPress-Plugin with same plugins, database, users, content, without losing anything???

Need Your Suggestion:

I’ve prepared One wordpress with 100+ bbPress Instances, Should I launch my project? Or should I wait for Plugin?

Humble Request to others:

Its my humble request to all people who are in this topic, Please For God Sake don’t deface my topic, don’t go off topic, this topic is becoming our future, try to understand, stay focus.

A Wish for Matt:

I’m not against to any of your action. If you’ve planned to make bbpress a plugin then definitely you knows its pros and cons, SO, best of luck, and my all well wishes and We are with you!.

I’ll do my best to answer it

I’m hoping that you’ll again give me a smart response.

Thanks

Cheers
