i’ve upgraded wp from 2.7.1 to 2.8, checked all the key for the cookie and

AUTH_KEY in wp-config is the same of BB_AUTH_KEY in bb-config, the same for SECURE_AUTH_KEY – BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY,

LOGGED_IN_KEY – BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY, NONCE_KEY – BB_NONCE_KEY.

i’ve installed and activated the plugin bbPress Integration 1.0-rc-2 configured with the url of bbpress (http://www.site.com/forums/) saved the option, copy/past in wp-config.php for the “code” in the box which is:

define(‘COOKIEHASH’, ‘e99db1aecc456188d6dc1ccc37528ff8’);

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.www.site.com’);

define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/wp-admin’);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

i’m able to login in bbpress side, and i see the cookie wordpress_e99db1aecc456188d6dc1ccc37528ff8 for /forums/bb-admin, /forums/bb-plugins, /forums/my-plugins, /wp-admin, /wp-content/plugins and /.

i’ve other 2 cookies bb-user-settings-1 and bb-user-settings-time-1 for /forums/bb-admin.

when i try to go in wp-admin i’m slogged from wp and 2 new cookies appear, wordpress_test_cookie.

when i try to login in WP side i’m redirected to the login page every time.

if i remove the code generated by the Sam’s plugin i can login but i’m logged out from bbpress…

how resolve this problem? thanks for the help.

We have bbPress physically located a subdirectory within WordPress.com (WPMU), you can call that “bbpress”. We do it this way because we point *.wordpress.com to the same host (well not exactly, but for the point of the example let’s say we do). Anyway, because on WordPress.com all blogs are given a subdomain, we need to intercept the forum subdomains and push them to the bbPress code before WPMU executes. That’s what this .htaccess code does.

You could do it without fewer rewrite rules if you didn’t use pretty permalinks.

[Sam Bauers]

I tend to use these terms and they are all potentially mutually exclusive, no one type of integration absolutely depends on the other although the first one generally requires the second one to work (99.9% of the time).

• Cookie integration – Sharing of login cookies with WordPress
• User database integration – Sharing of user data tables with WordPress
• Deep integration – Including the WordPress codebase (PHP) inside bbPress to allow use of WordPress functions inside bbPress

Thanks Sam. I’ve yet to try this, but I will tomorrow and will let you know how it works. I suspect probably better than I could ever do on my own.

My guess, is this works if bbPress is installed in a directory off the WordPress root called “/bbpress/” ?

Does this mean that some/all of the code above goes into the WordPress .htaccess file to prevent it from taking over, or does it go in the bbPress .htaccess file?

Hi again,

the code doesn’t work 100% in my installation.

After the Login in WordPress – my testuser is shown as “logged”, but I can’t go to the Administration. The System doesn’t redirect me. At the same time my testuser ist shown as “logged in” in bbPress and there I can go to the admin.

When I test the login from bbPress first nothing seems to happen. I’m not logged in in both bbPress and WordPress.

hmpf … So … I’m going to test tomorrow again.

[Sam Bauers]

The tag issue is fixed.

This list contains all the outstanding reported issues which I am aiming to fix before the 1.0 release. At the moment there are only two things there. If you know of an issue that isn’t there, then please add it immediately.

Other remaining tasks before 1.0 is released all have to do with finishing the admin screens. This will be heavily based on WordPress.

We also have Ben Dunkle – the guy who created the WordPress admin icons – working on some missing icons (forums, topics, posts).

Hi Vizworld,

thanks for your fix – I will test it soon – after a little “distance” from my computer.

Today – it’s to sunny … so i must go to the mountains.

[John James Jacoby]

Whoops… Need to remember to switch out of WordPress support mode! Totally my fault.

[Vizworld]

Ok, I fixed it.. Kinda.. It’s a nasty fix, but it _does_ work (I’m using it on http://www.Vizworld.com now).

A quick cliffnotes version:

Took 2 main changes.. a) I had to update the validate_auth function in the _freshly_Baked_cookies plugin to make it work with the new password-including authentication. b) I had to modify the bb-include/pluggable.php to use the new algorithms for salting & auth (wp_salt and wp_auth). The ones that ship with bbpress don’t pass a Schema around, and apparently it’s important now.

If you want the two files, you can download them from http://www.yeraze.com/bbpress-wp2.8-fbc_fix.tgz . i really hope _ck_ can take a look at this and see if it can all be encapsulated within the fbc plugin.. As it is now, soon as I upgrade bbpress I’ll lose it again.

[johnhiler]

Is this what you saw before?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-bbpress-syncronization/

[amistad]

Hi, i’m looking for a plugin, that can integrate comments on my wordpress width post in my bbpress. First what I need. When I add a new article ( post ) on my blog, I would like that plugin will automate create a topic on the same title on the bbpress forum. I seen something like that before, but I can’t find that …

It will be nice, if that plugin will also create post on that topic, if someone add a comment to the article on a wordpress blog, maybe it can work in other way too, when someone add post to topic on forum , a plugin will automatically add comment to blog.

Thanks for all help.

[johnhiler]

Ah yah Vizworld, I think you nailed it.

I took a look at ck’s original plugin and it mentions support for WordPress 2.8 (as of 3/13/09):

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/

But this post (from 4/3/2009) on ck’s blog points out that WordPress 2.8 changed their login model:

http://ckon.wordpress.com/2009/04/03/wordpress-28-might-break-login-compatibility-again/

Sounds like WordPress may have changed it after the Freshly Baked Cookies plugin was released, breaking the FBC plugin?

[greatpatton]

It’s the same problem that I encountered with 1.0-alpha-5… So it seams that all version before RC2 won’t work with the 2.8…

[massbase]

I hope this codex isnt going to be just a really long forum post.

I hope the codex lists all bbpress functions, like wordpresses so’s we can build our own themes and stuff.

[Vizworld]

Ok.. I’m not 100% on this, but it seems the cookie hashing algorithm changed in WP2.8 .

In WP2.7, in wp-includes/pluggable.php (line 512)

if ( $expired < time() ) {

do_action('auth_cookie_expired', $cookie_elements);

return false;

}

$key = wp_hash($username . ‘|’ . $expiration, $scheme);

$hash = hash_hmac(‘md5’, $username . ‘|’ . $expiration, $key);

and in 2.8:

// Quick check to see if an honest cookie has expired

if ( $expired < time() ) {

do_action('auth_cookie_expired', $cookie_elements);

return false;

}

$user = get_userdatabylogin($username);

if ( ! $user ) {

do_action(‘auth_cookie_bad_username’, $cookie_elements);

return false;

}

$pass_frag = substr($user->user_pass, 8, 4);

$key = wp_hash($username . $pass_frag . ‘|’ . $expiration, $scheme);

$hash = hash_hmac(‘md5’, $username . ‘|’ . $expiration, $key);

So, in 2.8 the hash is salted with 4 character’s of the USer’s password. The “freshly_baked_cookies” plugin hasn’t been upgraded to match this change, so it always fails to match the hashed cookies.

Unfortunateyl,the get_userdatabylogin function doesn’t seem to exist in bbpress…..

[Vizworld]

I’m seeing something Similar on VizWorld.com. AFter upgrading WordPress to 2.8, I’m not unable to login to the Forums (www.vizworld.com/forum). I’m also using the “freshly baked cookies” 0.3.

Upgrading to BBPress .9.0.5 hasn’t helped…

[venividi]

Nice job, Markus.

So …

Is there a solution?

[Anonymous User]

We have the same problem today with the FBC-Plugin.

I seems to be a “hot” topic – and that’s probably the reason why we search for the last 2 hours for a solution. *selfironic*

Here the cookie-names and paths – they are identical. So the error eventually is not in seeting the cookies, but in reading of the cookies. !?

My bbpress .9.0.5 and wordpress 2.7.1 worked perfectly until upgrade of wordpress 2.8

1. upgrade of bbpress .9.0.5 – 1 hour after the posting. ( a week ago? )

2. upgrade of wordpress 2.8 – 2 hours ago.

3. the break of cookie – right after the upgrade of wordpress

[johnhiler]

When did the cookie integration break – when you upgraded bbPress to .9.0.5, or when you upgraded WordPress to 2.8?

Also – what was the last working set of versions that was fully integrated (bb 9.0.4 and wp 2.7?).

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

I have already integrated bbPress 0.9.0.5 with WordPress 2.7.1 by using the same instructions but not it seems that its not working. Why the hell bbPress is overwriting the value in the db? Should I file a bug?

[venividi]

Thanks for the fast reply.

I’m using ck’s and johnmc’s ‘Freshly Baked Cookies for bbPress’.

[johnhiler]

bbPress v. 0.9.x doesn’t naturally integrate with WordPress 2.8. Are you using ck’s or superann’s cookie plugins to enable integration?

[venividi]

Having upgraded wordpress to v.2.8, I found intergration problem.

Log in bbpress, automatic log out from wordpress,

log in wordpress, automatic log out from bbpress.

my bbpress v. 0.9.0.5

What’s the cause of such a problem.

I’ll be greatly appreciated if any one solve the problem.

Thanks.

Is there one that shows a list of compatible/working plugins for the different versions? WordPress has something like that:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Themes/Theme_Compatibility/2.7

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Plugin_Compatibility/2.7

I’m asking because if it’s not there it might be a good addition.
