It looks really nice!

Hi!

I have an old issue with bbpress-wppress integration that I can’t solve.

I use this wp-plugin to sanitize user names;

Insensitive

What this plugin does is that whenever a user registered as “Joe” tries to log in as “joe”, “jOe”… can login.

However bbpress is not compatible with this plugin, when activited bbpress reports this error;

Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in wampwwwwordpresswp-includesformatting.php on line 453

In formatting.php line 453 obviously we have wordpress function sanitize_user and it seems bbpress doesn’t like to have this function modified.

I just wanted to ask if anybody knows another way to sanitize usernames because it is a pain to have all the time people complainig that they can log in because they registered as “Joe” and try to access with “joe”

Hi!

I’m giving a try to a deep integration. I want to load bbpress in my wordpress theme so I have a modified bbpress kamukei where I load wp header, sidebar and footer.

I installed bbpress 1.04a, I activated the new plugin, edited wp-config.php as plugin required, I founded that all this still didn’t load wp header and I modified bbpress bb-config.php with;

define('WP_BB', true);

if ( !defined('DB_NAME') ) {

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wp-config.php');

}

Now, it seems everything works ok; bbpress loads wp-header, I have access to bbpress control panel, both, admin and users can post, I can log out… I’m going to keep my beta-testing and I’ll further report but I think Sam did it so CONGRATULATIONS.

I’m not sure that I’ll want to load bbpress functions into wordpress so far because what I need is all the contrary; to load wordpress into bbpress so I can have a very simple and integrated forum. However, having the bbpress control panel integrated into the wordpress panel would be great.

The idea of bbpress as a plugin is very nice but Sam is totally right when he stated that we have a stronger foundation as a stand alone. Perhaps that little plugin as a “bridge” is the way to go.

[mrtee]

Because bb-rating has display on post(I saw from wordpress.org plugin page). But wp-postrating, I don’t know how to display star pics(just display star can’t give score.), cause I want rating star show index page that visitor can see but can’t give score.

ok, I would try wp-postrating again.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Okay, I made a ‘double’ cookie by doing this: $bb->sitecookiepath = '/blog/'; but it still won’t let me be logged into BOTH at once. Grr. I can be logged into WP and WPAdmin, or BB and BBAdmin and WPAdmin, but never BB and WP

If I don’t modify the bb-config file, I can’t log in at all to bbPress. Am I the only one who has WordPress loaded in a subdirectory, with the index kicking back to the main root? That’s about the only thing I have left to try and I really don’t want to screw up my permalinks.

Of possible relevance, the logged_in cookie never gets removed from my cookie jar on Firefox when I log out of bbPress OR WordPress.

Edit: Or maybe I’m just a frackin’ idiot.

I repasted in the Auth Keys and now it’s working… Dude. I keep telling people at work that the average IQ drops 50 points between Thanksgiving and New Years (which is how I explain people making boneheaded mistakes). The new guy asked ‘Does that mean us to?’ and I said “Of course! Watch, you’ll make the stupidest, most obvious screw up in your life in a week or so.” Today was mine, apparently.

I’m going to hang my head in shame.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

configure the WordPress plugin and also follow it’s instructions to modify the wp-config.php file in WordPress.

Did that.

Further to this, you should clear out any manual settings you have made to bb-config.php in bbPress and re-check your settings in the “WordPress integration” page in bbPress admin.

Did that.

Then clear all your cookies and retest.

Did that (went in to Firefox’s cookies and after logging out, whacked everything from my domain).

Result: Login is not shared as I think it should be.

If I login on bbPress I can get into my WordPress admin area, but I do not show up as logged in on the WordPress ‘regular’ side. If I go to comment, it says I’m not logged in.

Also, if I have this line in, I can’t log in to both at the same time:

$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in_<long string>';

I think clearly something’s wrong on my end, but damned if I can sort out what!

EDIT!

I watched my cookies as I logged into bbPress after being logged into WordPress.

WordPress makes two entries for wordpress_logged_in_<long string>! Both have ‘Domain’ of .domain.net, and then path of / and /blog/

bbPress has one entry and it has Host of domain.net (no leading . ) and path of /

I fixed the host/domain part by setting $bb->cookiedomain = '.domain.net'; but I’m pretty convinced this double existence of the logged_in cookie is what’s screwing me up.

[wiseacre]

Are you trying to use bbRatings with WordPress? Why?

What you thing about https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-postratings/

[Sam Bauers]

I’d rather not fork bbPress to create a plugin version but I would be interested in seeing a plugin created for WordPress that basically loaded bbPress into WordPress for you. johnjames is right about having to keep our integration options open beyond a simple plugin.

Also, perhaps you missed the announcements about full integration returning in the recent alpha versions?

[mrtee]

I justed upload bb-rating folder to wordpress site, WordPress Plugin can activated.

But I don’t know how to use it or the plugin can’t working.

[John James Jacoby]

@David:

I’ve thought about this, and tossed it around in my mind for the past few weeks. I think that for us right now, it would make sense to do things this way, since we’re only really familiar with WordPress, and then bbPress. There are a few other products that Automattic has, such as WordPress MU, BuddyPress, and BackPress, that also will need to have a way to integrate around each other and any random installation combination of them.

With that being said, from a bbPress users perspective, it might almost make more sense to have WordPress MU be a plug-in for bbPress, giving each individual user their own WordPress type blog. This would use bbPress as the core installation, and include another application inside itself.

You can see that with so many products and possibilities, the fact that Sam has enlightened us with a working bbPress/WordPress dedicated integration solution using bbp1.0alpha4 is pretty awesome.

I’m going to do my best to make a plug-in like you’ve mentioned, to add a bbPress menu in the WordPress admin panel, and allow editing of the bbPress settings. I think that again, right now, a majority of the bbPress audience is going to lean towards that as a next logical step. Eventually however, BuddyPress and BackPress will probably be the future for all of us.

Your points are valid, and I think many of us here feel the same, just rest assured that the devs are listening and busting their butts to make things work together the best way they can.

[davidbaldwin]

I LOVE bbpress…..

I LOVE wordpress…..

but…

I am really disappointed that bbpress integration with wordpress was broken at wordpress version 2.6 and has yet to be put back into bbpress.

In fact, bbpress intigration with wordpress wont be back until bbpress version 1.0 which is not due for some time.

http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101

on one of my websites:

http://lifelightcam.com/bbpress/

i currently run the 1.0-alpha, because i need wordpress 2.7.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I am extremely disappointed that wordpress and bbpress are from the same company (Automattic), but they are not joined at the hip like I thought, they are more like completely independent and might as well not be made from the same company.

bbpress is an excellent product on its own, but the integration with wordpress is simply embarrassing.

So, this what I think should be done:

Create 2 versions of bbpress.

1) a standalone version already in existance

2) a wordpress plugin (installed from within wordpress) that has the same functionality as bbpress. The bbpress admin would reside within wordpress itself. This would make bbpress instantly integrated with wordpress.

Having 2 versions would increase the number of users of bbpress and make it a lot easier and simpler for non-technical users to integrate bbpress with wordpress.

Please consider this. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

peace

[Radium]

I am getting this too… wordpress 2.7 & bb press 1.0 alpha 4

[thenokiablog]

@sambauers

I checked all my settings again and it looked like I did not put in my define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, on bbconfig.php. That is now fixed and running smoothly.

Haven’t found problems logging in/out either bbpress or wordpress. Thanks sam.

Question: what is define(‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ”); on the bb-config file? It is currently empty and don’t remember having it on 1.0a2.

[Sam Bauers]

@johnjamesjacoby

In your wp-config.php file, right after you include bbPress you should probably clear out all filters and actions so that nothing in bbPress alters WordPress unexpectedly. Use this code right after the include to do that:

// Remove filters and action that have been set by the included bbPress

if ( defined( 'BB_PATH' ) ) {

$wp_filter = array();

$wp_actions = array();

$merged_filters = array();

$wp_current_filter = array();

}

[John James Jacoby]

On a side note Sam…

I’d like to try to head the project to include the bbPress administration area into the WordPress admin area as a plugin… It sounds like a major task, but I really don’t think it will be that hard since all of the functions are written for me already…

I noticed that you tucked your plugin under the WP Settings menu, which is where I think it belongs for now. However, once integration becomes more popular, I suspect users may want a centralized administration panel, possibly requiring a separate WP root menu for bbPress related settings.

I know I’m thinking light years ahead here, but perhaps starting to think about an integration standard now before we get too far into things might not be a bad idea?

[Sam Bauers]

People having issues with cookies etc need to remember to configure the WordPress plugin and also follow it’s instructions to modify the wp-config.php file in WordPress.

Further to this, you should clear out any manual settings you have made to bb-config.php in bbPress and re-check your settings in the “WordPress integration” page in bbPress admin.

Then clear all your cookies and retest.

[John James Jacoby]

Using deep integration inside the bb-config.php, I’ve been able to include all of the WP functions normally included in the WP/header.php file successfully. This has allowed me to replace the bbPress login/registration with the WordPress one and actually use the WP login/logout function from within BBP.

So far Sam, I am calling this a huge success.

[John James Jacoby]

Sam…

Logged in as KeyMaster, using the BBP1.0alpha4 (non trunk) and using the BBP Integration plugin for WP (trunk) I can confirm that all cookies, logins, logouts, and admin panels appear to be working from every direction.

WordPress installed in “ROOT/” directory.

bbPress installed in “ROOT/forums/” directory.

Pat yourself on the back soldier, we have lift-off.

Once I am comfortable with my findings and can test this more thoroughly I’ll write a detailed how-to integrate topic ASAP.

---

Side note: It also all appears to still work even with deep integration in the bb-config.php file. Still testing so stay tuned with that.

[thenokiablog]

updated to 1.0a4 and installed the wordpress plugin. Here is the issue i found:

if i login to wordpress, i still need to log in to bbpress.

BUT

if i login in bbpress, it logs me into wordpress too.

And another issue:

If I login to bbpress, I can’t log OUT of wordpress. I see this WordPress failure Notice:

— You are attempting to log out of **blog title**Please try again.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I’m not sure it fixed everything. Or at least not with root cookies.

If I log in via bbpress I’m logged into bbPress AND WordPress Admin but NOT WordPress user. If I try, subsequently, to login as WordPress user, it acts like I’m logged in, but if I go back to a regular page, it doesn’t work. If I then logout on bbPress, I can log in to WordPress. This happens in reverse as well. I can’t be logged into BOTH at once.

The ‘fix’ to that was to add this to wp-config.php

// Cookies

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.domain.net');

define('COOKIEPATH', '/' );

Which has the even WEIRDER side effect of logging me out between apps. Log in to bbPress, fine. Log in to WordPress, logged OUT of bbPress. Ad nasuem.

The ‘fix’ to that is to disconnect

$bb->logged_in_cookie = 'wordpress_logged_in';

Which is sooo wrong.

FWIW:

• WordPress 2.7 is installed in /blog and I’m using Giving WordPress its Own Directory While Leaving the WordPress Index File in the Root Directory
• bbPress 1.0alpha4 is installed in /forums
• I have shallow integration, where just cookies are being shared
• I have the new bbPress Integration plugin turned off (though I tested it on and off)

[beardownarizona]

Okay, so here’s how the story goes…

I downloaded bbPress 1.0-alpha3 because I’m using WordPress 2.6.3…however I’m not sure if that even matters since I don’t really want to integrate the two.

I removed all the installation files from the bbpress folder, and placed them into my /forums directory. I did this because I wanted my forums to be in http://www.beardownarizona.com/forums, not beardownarizona.com/forums/bbpress.

Once all the files were installed via FTP into my /forums directory, I went to the site and proceeded with the installation. The first screen said “There doesn’t seem to be a bb-config.php file. This usually means that you want to install bbPress. ” so I continued and put in my database name, username, password, along with my host.

When I hit “save database configuration” I got a ridiculously long error message:

So instead of hassling with that, I created my own bb-config.php file, and uploaded it to the /forums directory. This allowed me to complete the entire installation. However it had one minor error, which said “Key master email not sent!” The installation log is below:

Now when I go to my forums page at http://www.beardownarizona.com/forums, I get a “page not found” error. I’ve double checked my installation files, and they are all there, so I don’t think I’m missing any files…

I’m just at a complete loss for how to proceed. I just want to install the forums on the page, I’m not worried about integration or anything like that, since I don’t really have “users” on my main site. The forums are going to be used for that purpose.

If it makes a difference, I’m using godaddy as my host…If you have any ideas for how I can fix this, please let me know!!

Thanks!

[Sam Bauers]

Even if you have integration set up perfectly, if you login from WordPress you will not get the correct cookies set to be able to access the bbPress admin area.

Also, if you are doing what johnjamesjacoby describes above you will get a similar problem as the bbPress roles will get squashed by WordPress.

There is a fix for both of these problems available, but it is only tested with WordPress 2.7

[Sam Bauers]

The problem with synced logins between WordPress and bbPress is now solved in trunk.

Look out for a new download release in the next couple of days.

[Sam Bauers]

@johnjamesjacoby

The login forms don’t pass around nonce values generally, so it should be of no concern.

What happens as of right now is that the role map you setup in the admin area only gets applied to new registrations either when you save the changes on that role map form or when the new WordPress user who is missing the role in bbPress logins in through bbPress.

On your site as it is right now this never occurs because you force all logins through WordPress. Just now in trunk I have changed that so that just visiting the bbPress site with a valid cookie will set your role in bbPress.

I suspect that all the problems with loging out in your case are going to come down to having a bunch of stuff manually set in your wp-config.php and bb-config.php

Here’s what I think you should do…

1. Update bbPress to the latest trunk version
2. Remove any hardcoded settings in bb-config.php and wp-config.php WRT integration
3. Install this brand spanking new plugin (get the trunk version for the moment) http://svn.wp-plugins.org/bbpress-integration/trunk/
4. Recheck your integration settings in bbPress – don’t hardcode anyting into bb-settings.php
5. Configure that plugin in WordPress
6. Copy the wp-settings.php lines specified in that plugin to wp-config.php (probably only one line for you)

Let us know how that goes.
