Well, I was having issues with my WordPress admin, so, like a clever person I created a new admin name and deleted the old. Well. Turns out that in doing so I’ve deleted my keymaster in BBPress.

I’ve seen some posts that suggest editing the tables. I’ve tried adding the code

$bb->new_keymaster = ‘AdminTwo’;

to my bb-config.php and then running install.php. But, nothing happens. So, if I must edit my database, can someone please let me know in more deatail how? (Ie: Which tables, which values, etc.)

Thank You so Much!

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.website.org’);

or

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘website.org’);

I tried both of these, in addition to define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

But still no luck. Any ideas?

/edit Just another bit of info, bbpress is in /bbpress, and wordpress is in /wordpress. I don’t know if it makes a difference, but I thought I would mention it.

Hi!

This is just a comment just in case it helps because I had to remove again bbpress.

I tried to integrate 1.0 Alpha with Wp following the bbpress installer and after installation finished, admin login was all messed.

First, bbpress changed my wp admin password. I re-set the old password from bbpress control panel and everything seemed to work fine again but next, whenever I tried to login in wordpress I had to log-out from bbpress.

Hope developers consider a better bbpress-wp integration for 1.0 final

BBpress told me to put this in the wp-config, and I did, but still no luck.

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

[csseur3]

hi,

for the wp-config.php file in wordpress, it is:

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.website.org’);

or

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘website.org’);

?

thanks

I just did the installation, and things went quite smoothly.

Just one issue so far…

If you log into wordpress, you are logged into bbpress. Great!

But, if you log into wordress, you are not logged into bbpress. Not great.

I made sure the settings were correct, but I could not find a reference to secure_auth_salt in WordPress.

Also, how would one go about creating a single login for both sites that isn’t either wordpress or bbpress specific?

Lastly, is there any type of theme integration, or any tips on creating a unified design?

BBpress 1.0 alpha 1

Wordpress 2.6.1 beta 2

I agree with _ck_ – the point behind bbPress is to make the easiest and simplest forum script ever – personaly, I see no need for members list, really. It’s not very useful on huge forums like WordPress support, and there’s no point for that on small forums where everyone know each other.

[csseur3]

And I think you are missing the people who will say “oh, we need a plugin for just that! I can’t imagine the others! “

I have already twenty plugins activated, some of which, as memberlist, which does not change of code (or very little) and they can be integrated safely by default.

In place of a plugin, a checkbox in the options natives would be better, no?

As WordPress 2.7 perhaps we should integrate the most simple and the most popular plugins by default, no?

I thought about it to ensure the development of bbPress and enable it to compete with others. And if there is more interested users = more visitors for the sites of the plugins creators on their “donate” link lol: p

Please, think at the question^ ^ or create a “plugin integration poll” :p

Bug fixes are good. New features, too.

i’m new to all this wordpress stuff so forgive me if this is too hackish.

i installed wp2.6 and bbp1 alpha. they almost integrate. i had a problem getting the admin link to work when i had logged in via wordpress (no problem logging in via bbpress). on investigation i discovered wp login was setting cookies only for itself, whereas bbpress was setting cookies for itself and wordpress.

my solution tells wordpress to be as polite as bbpress:

insert the following into wp-config.php replacing {bbpath} with your bbpath:

define(‘BB_ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/{bbpath}/bb-admin/’);

define(‘BB_PLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH’, /{bbpath}/bb-plugins/’);

define(‘BB_MYPLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/{bbpath}/my-plugins/’);

open wp-includes/pluggable.php and find where the cookies are set – these lines:

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, PLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, $secure);

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, $secure);

insert the following immediatley after:

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, BB_ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, $secure);

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, BB_PLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, $secure);

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, BB_MYPLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, $secure);

now wordpress will set the same cookies as bbpress thus allowing full access averywhere.

like i say, i’m fairly new to this so please correct me if i’m wrong or if this approach has security implications.

IT IS WORKING!!!!! Thanks for all your help!

I don’t know about a complete solution, but I’ve been able to get this one working.

Email Authentication Issue

If it becomes a large enough issue, I imagine someone will create a plugin for it. Until then, this is a work around.

Integrating something like this does not affect WordPress integration as far as I know. It’s just the email function. I imagine WordPress would have the same issue sending out emails unless you use a plugin like this there as well.

[chrissydunno]

has anyone seen a complete solution for this issue? many hosts do not allow php mail() function because it doesn’t support smtp authentication

i’ve seen several posts about swiftmailer, phpmailer alternatives, but none offer a step by step instructions?

interested in modifying files only from the latest verion bbpress-0.9.0.2.zip

also, are any of these solutions integrated with wordpress? or when you use them you lose the bbpress user = wp user integration?

any kind of complete solution would be appreciated by many

[mytriniphone]

ok so what would be the best way to upgrade?

thanks in advance

I now have a good working intgration between WordPress 2.6 and bbPress 1.0.

So… errrm… YAY!

[playwithsticks]

ah! ok, thanks

[chrishajer]

Instead of this WordPress function:

<?php wp_register(); ?> 

You would have a link to bb-login.php. Then bb-login handles the whole thing. In the login form, you would add that hidden form field to redirect then after login, as explained here.

[chrishajer]

I agree on the search. It’s too “in your face now.” I think it should have been in the template files and commented out. People could uncomment it to get the functionality. We’ll never be happy. At least with it there now, people can see it, remove it or style it however they want. This is probably better than there being nothing in the template at all before. That’s typically how WordPress themes are: they have a bunch of useless cr*p in them that I just remove or comment out. It’s easier to remove or modify something that you can see than trying to figure out how to add something you don’t know exists.

Not sure yet on the bb_meta table. I haven’t looked at the DB schema yet.

Hello,

like the theme directory of wordpress.org, it is possible to have a theme directory in bbpress.org ?

Bye,

Fred

bbPress should not tamper with your WordPress tables.

The user data is kept separate.

Ah, I guess it’s important to point out that just like bbPress 0.9 is not compatible with WordPress 2.6, it’s also that bbPress 1.0 is not comptible with WordPress 2.5

Major cookie changes.

WordPress 2.5.x <-> bbPress 0.9

WordPress 2.6.x <-> bbPress 1.0

[playwithsticks]

I’m getting a funky error:

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

I’m trying to integrate WP 2.5.1 and BB 1.0

It only started when I edited the bb_config file bbpress was working smoothly as a stand-alone… I think

[Hellweaver666]

You can just change the register links in the wordpress template to point to the bbpress login and registration forms… that’s easy enough (you can even copy the login form code into the template directly and it seems to work).

The problem is, how to get users back to the URL they came from after they login (by default they seem to get bounced to the forum home page instead)… any ideas?

[keress]

Thanks so much for the help. You helped me spot that I had inadvertently uploaded the root’s index.php to the blog index.php folder. I had a feeling it was something simple and dumb.

[chrishajer]

If it’s this site http://famousbeats.net/ it’s 2.5.1:
