bbpress integration plugin , cant find it. bbpress search comes up with wordpress integration plugin which isnt the same plugin. anyone has link ?
// 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.

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?
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 !
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?
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:

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!
Looks like you integrated with WordPress 2.7.1 – did you integrate the logins? What version of bbPress did you install?
Oh, I forgot, add this to your bb-config.php
define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1);

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?
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?
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!
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.
I have the following:
Version 1.0-alpha-6 and WordPressMU 2.7.1 The problem lies with the instructions: Your video is excellent but when you read other posts they approach it different, and everyone has different ideas about this token, and the plug ins. Its just so dam confusing. I have two con fig files that have so much different code I just have no idea what is going on.
What did line 80 of wp-config.php look like, and how about the line just before that? Also, what version of WordPress so someone can check their wp-config.php and see what that might be.
A quick solution might be to just remove all links to the WordPress login and registration pages… and only have links to the bbPress registration and signin.
I did that for a long time, and it eliminated the problem with having two signups…
to be honest im not sure how to awnser that directly.
I had wordpress already.
I installed bbpress, went to the settings and filled in the intergration settings in hopes of having it work.
But.. alas it doesn’t.
Thanks.
When I go to phpMyAdmin, I do see bunch of tables under XXX-forum. For example, when I open bb_usermeta, it shows some entries such as umeta_id, User_id; but when I try to ‘browse’ them , I don’t see the the contents where I can see user name etc, instead I see something like:
SQL query:
SELECT COUNT( * ) AS Rows , user_id
FROM bb_usermeta
GROUP BY user_id
ORDER BY user_id
LIMIT 0 , 30
Is there a guide as to how I can work with this. Or do you know what is the best way to delete bbpress without affecting my wordpress, I will try to re-install it.
Thx.
