i’ve installed a fresh version of bbpress 1.0 on wordpress wp 2.8 and seems work good, but it’s the first time i use bbpress, i’ve integrated users and cookie

[Marcomail]

i’d use only registration and login page of wordpress, so i can delete this two bbpress pages ?

[Marcomail]

this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/md5-password-hashes/

now it works good, but if i login on bbpress the user password it’s converted in phpass format, if i login on wordpress the password it’s converted on md5 format.

i’d delete the login on bbpress, so i think it’s not necessary install the bbpress plugin

Gravatars should be done 100% via a plugin and not integrated into WordPress/bbPress in the first place. I never did understand why they were hardcoded in, except perhaps a push by Matt after they bought the service.

It should be done exactly like akismet and bozos.

[_ck_]

For those not using the XML-RPC functionality (95% of you) I strongly recommend you delete xmlrpc.php immediately after install. Several of WordPress’s security issues over the years have been through that API.

What plugin are you using on the WordPress side to convert your WordPress passwords?

[Marcomail]

Thanks, i’m using wordpress 2.8 and bbpress 1.0

[johnhiler]

This plugin allows you to use MD5 hashing in bbPress (not sure if it works in v 1.0 though):

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/md5-insecurity-for-bbpress/

What versions of WordPress and bbPress are you using?

[Marcomail]

I’m using a plugin to convert user password on wordpress to MD5, is it a problem if i integrate bbpress on wordpress ?

[Marcomail]

i’ve wordpress 2.8 and bbpress 1.0, i must create a new database for bbpress or i must use the wordpress database ? Thanks

This plug-in works great, I just wish users could register via OpenID. I think your plug-in does allow this now, however, I use wordpress for registrations because I’m able to make a custom registration e-mail and it’s simpler and more sleek than the bbpress registration.

If only there was a way to make a wordpress OpenID plugin that would play nice with your bbpress OpenID plugin. So, users could register with OpenID using the wordpress registration page, then login with either the wordpress login page or the bbpress login page using OpenID.

Because of my set up I always have weird requests since again, I use wordpress for registrations and bbpress for log ins. 8 |

I’m hoping someone creates a plug in for google friend connect… I’ve been trying to find a way to let anyone sign into my site. I know there is OpenID, and bbpress has an OpenID plugin thanks to _ck_, but I can’t get it to work like I want. The main issue is, I use wordpress for my registrations, and then bbpress as my login… I chose wordpress as the registration part because it’s very simple… they just have to enter their name and e-mail. And, I forget why I chose to use bbpress as the login part… haha . Anyway, again, I’m hoping to one day find a way to let anyone login using other popular services like google and facebook and twitter.

If anyone has any ideas let me know…

I’m wondering if it is possible to allow people to login to my site using google for example, without having to mess with my user database. In other words, I know there are plugins that will allow people to register with their google account, and then behind the scenes the plugin creates a wordpress or bbpress account… I’m wondering if it is even possible to have a separate system so if someone wants to sign up for my site they can, but if they just want to log in via google, for example, they can do so without the plugin creating a new user in my database…

@Sam

Would be great if you could get a blog post crosslinked over at http://WordPress.org/development

I only say that because of the huge WP following.

Howdy folks…have a suggestion to improve bbPress for everyone (I love the service, don’t want this to be taken as harsh criticism toward the terrific developers, etc)

I just started 2 sites running bbPress (http://NewsTalkPA.com and http://SportsTalkPA.com) and the # 1 question/complaint I get from people is “how do I get to select my profile picture”.

(Before we go any farther, yes, I have a sticky on both sites re: how to get a Gravatar pic)

I love bbPress, but with Automattic behind both Gravatar AND bbPress (AND Gravatar support being built right in) it is in everyone’s best interests if there were better directions internally for new folks that signup on bbPress sites re: how to select a Gravatar.

Hey, with WordPress, blogs, etc not everyone will comment and when they eventually do they might want to stay anonymous…BUT With bbPress its a little different. The whole point of signing up is to start chiming away and making yourself known by fleshing out your profile. People are pretty unhappy when they find out its difficult to select a picture.

Think about it: It’s pretty inconvenient for folks to signup on a site, get the email with their password, login, and then, BLAM, find out there is no direction as to how to get a Gravatar on their profile page (they are not going to see a Gravatar directions sticky unless they really look…trust me, they are looking under the profile information for picture stuff)

How about a little revamping on the profile editing pages with a link to the Gravatar website and a little direction that this is how they can select their profile picture. Any thoughts?

If bbPress included something like this the number of new Gravatar signups would skyrocket and the service would become even more widespread (There is NO downside to this)

Dang, it must be the theme. (can delete tags via the default Kakumei 1.0).

I guess this means this theme uses AJAX for tag deletion (I am a BBPress newbie, don’t know where to look to know for sure).

Any suggestions for a work around without having to switch themes? Here it is:

Theme Name: blank 2 column Right Sidebar

Theme URI: http://refueled.net/blank-themes/

Description: A blank bbPress theme. Matching WordPress themes available.

Version: 1.0

Author: refueled

Author URI: http://refueled.net

What version of the software are you talking about Marcomail?

What is your question exactly? Do you have existing WordPress users and you’re wondering if they will be integrated with bbPress after integration?

[Sam Bauers]

Those values are of course for the bb-config.php file.

[Jason Giedymin]

Btw I also created the records on the database too, no go.

[Jason Giedymin]

I created the defines in both config files, matching. No dice.

Need a definitive breakdown no facade of what really is required for secure authorization. Feel like a quick write up?

[Sam Bauers]

Did you input the secure cookie key and salt in the relevant places?

[smfadmin]

Uhhh…I’m no programmer. Messing with actual code could get me in a lot of trouble. Is there an easier way? WordPress has tons of Plugins to make things like this simple. I can’t find much in the way of Plugins for BBPress.

[Jason Giedymin]

Running:

WPMU + Latest RC of BBPress, User tables integrated, v1 of Integration Plug (on wp side) installed. Latest RC of bbpress was installed directory fresh but over an existing bbpress 9.x (latest stable) tables.

Tests Passed:

– Logging into each site individually works fine. Can’t log out without errors (understandably as there is a cookie issue see below).

Tests Failed:

– Log into bb-press via https

– Log into wp blog.

– Should go to Admin.

Debug:

– Stepped through to find wp was looking for “wordpress_sec_[long hash string]” cookie. Thinking it was ‘mal formed’ it redirects to the wp login.

Question:

– Why would the “wordpress_sec” cookie not be created by bb_press?

I will be stepping through the bbpress code but wanted to put a heads up in the forums if maybe someone already knows whats going on.

Btw Is there a developer forum?

[Derek Herman]

I’ve ported a few plugins and themed bbPress and built from scratch many WordPress plugins, and to be honest I wouldn’t try and port that plugin. There are way to many unknowns to consider when caching and it’s just a lot of work.

Also, I don’t think there are enough positives to warrant the headache inducing long nights that will cause just for the insignificant amount of resources being saved since so many users are going to be logged in. Unless your forum is ranked in the top 100 of all forums on the internet, you’re not getting enough traffic to go through that kind of trouble. You’re better off upgrading your server IMHO.

[mightybutton]

Does anyone know a website or another forum where I can find a reasonably priced bbpress theme programmer? Having used a lot of wordpress programmers I know that not all programmers are created equal. I really want to find someone who has coded quite a few bbpress themes. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate!

[Marcomail]

With this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/other_notes/ i must install only bbpress and use this plugin to integrate the two applications ? but the users are not replicated ?
