bb_auth calls bb_validate_auth_cookie, which calls WP_Auth::validate_auth_cookie, which uses a variable defined in bb-settings.php. The cookies you can check for are auth and logged_in, with auth automatically switching to secure_auth if you’re on SSL.

I solved the integration problem myself.

wordpress login

admin / settings / bbpress integration

1. change wordpress type from wordpress to wordpress mu

2. copy and paste ‘manual cookie settings’ to wp-config.php

All done.

Hope to help others.

Could this be a magic quotes issue?

See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/220437/magic-quotes-in-php

If this module is loaded you can sometimes end up escaping input twice with the result being extra slashes in your database.

I’ve fixed a problem exactly like yours in the past by turning of magic quotes in php.ini, but I thought that these days bbPress handled the case when they were turned on.

Plugin one is built in in bbPress 1.0.2. Read this… https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/spanish-text-como-puedo-agregar-sticky#post-70394

Hi,

I have bbpress deeply integrated with WordPress but I am unable to register. Here’s my website forum: http://itracki.com/forum

When I try to register, it says that “email is required” even though I have clearly inputted an email. Is anyone else having this problem? Help?

Thanks

bbPress is not a plugin of WordPress, you have to install it separately as you had installed WordPress.

[Nutopia]

Hello,

I’m trying my first install of bbpress on my WordPress 3.0 site. I’ve uploaded the plugin, but when I attempt to activate it I’m taken to a screen with the following error message: “The plugin does not have a valid header.”

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks!

Lol.. thanks

I’m excited to see this news. Soon WP will be supported again. Also, the 5 people who spam this community with their personal outrage daily will give up and use Vanilla, like they should have from the beginning.

I’m hoping matt deletes this entire site soon and restarts from scratch using the same URL.

[johnhiler]

I just thought that was an unfair shot at Sam, is all.

It’s kind of depressing visiting bbPress lately. A lot of posts end up turning into discussions about how bbPress leadership has failed us.

I used to answer support questions on a regular basis but it’s not fun to do so when so many threads turn relentlessly negative.

Just some thoughts,

John

[kevinjohngallagher]

By the bbPress documentation site… are you referring to Sam’s personal wiki that he set up before he joined Automattic?

Might be mate. I knew it was to do with Sam, but didn’t know it was his own and from a time when he wasn’t with Automattic. At the risk of derailing, how expensive is a domain name to renew? (not that I’m not a fan of the shemale subdomain – buy me a bottle of wine, send the kids out, and it’s my friday night)

The realism is, if the bbPress plugin is that far advanced, and thats a really awesome thing for the huge number of people who’ll preffer that option, we will only get more and more questions/topics/posts like the one above. And the Original Poster asked alot of exact and pertenant questions…

The big thing for me though is this:

1) If, according to Matt, the release schedule was meant to be bbPress1.1, then bbPress plugin work would be after that, are we realistically at a stage where that’s been turned around without any communication?

2) Does that mean that there was development resources for bbPress plugin, but not for bbPress standalone, and the community thats been attempting to suppotr it for years? It didn’t develop itself…

3) bbPress1.1 can’t be released until the next 2 versions of BackPress are out (as well as our own current task list – which is small thanks to Gautam et all). Jane’s post contains timescales which suggest that bbPress plugin will be used sooner than that (of course it may not be released publicly at that time).

The whole thing just feels very underhanded, y’know. Even if it’s not (and I truly doubt anyone’s attempting to be machevelian) the evidence to back up that gut feeling just keeps on coming.

• It’s been 163 days since we’ve had a blog post.
• Over 100 (that I can see) since the Project Lead has been on the IRC.
• Over 100 days since the Project lead posted on the forum.
• 7 weeks since the Project Lead used our trac (and that was to delete the 0.9 milestone without telling anyone for another 3 weeks).

No wonder people think badly of the information they get from here.

If you worked on your site for 10 months, and have 100 bbPress installations, you launch it. What happens to bbPress after you launch does not matter to you. If the software you have installed works, use it. Don’t wait around for anything new.

My opinion

[hpguru]

In other topic other say that bbPress plugin come soon?

[hpguru]

What point use today bbPress standalone, if bbPress plugin is made soon? I wait it, because i and my users need plugin forum to my WordPress. In my forum bbPress is very fast and good but i delete it some months ago because 200 members doesn’t post more than 1-10 messages per week…

Per day 50-100 unique and nothing from AdSense. My blog AdSense is 100 €/month and 1 000 unique per day. I think plugin is better for unique to forum and for good AdSense to forum.

[johnhiler]

By the bbPress documentation site… are you referring to Sam’s personal wiki that he set up before he joined Automattic?

[kevinjohngallagher]

Those are some excellent questions.

Sadly, the good folks behind bbPress have decided not to communicate with us, infact the Project Lead left 4 months ago when a moderator dared ask him a question.

Do you people have answers for these questions?

Nope. None. Not one. We have 0 idea.

Will bbpress.org will closed after plugin’s announcement?

No, I doubt it.

The folks at Automattic have dropped the ball on bbPress for a number of years, but that sort of thing isn’t their style. They do truly wish to make as many people happy as possible, and closing this website (or not maintaining it in the way that the bbPress documentation site became a porn site) really would be a bad thing, and they are good folks.

I saw that bbpress is now making a plugin instead of standalone install.

So What should I do? I’m on the final stage to launch my site where I’ve used almost 100 plus bbpress standalone installs.

So here are my question?

1. Will New plugin meet my site’s criteria?

2. Will bbpress.org will closed after plugin’s announcement?

3. Will bbPress Standalone shutdown after plugin’s availability?

4. Can We will easily able to switch from standalone to plugin without data losing?

5. is there a function to launch multiple boards like wpmu?

because I’m using multiple installs for my various boards.

6. will there need for integration specially ( cookies integration ) with this new plugin.

7. what about bbPress plugins? after bbpress plugin version will they all useless?

8. Or we will be able to use bbpress standalone plugins with bbpress plugin software?

9. Should I launch my site or still wait for plugin availability?

10. When this bbpress plugin version will be available for public?

Do you people have answers for these questions?

Do you people have any suggestions for my site?

Do you people have any ideas how can I achieve bbpress multiuser like WPMU functionality? after plugin’s availability??

I’m really afraid, I really don’t know what to do right now.

I’m working on my site from almost last 10 months. I don’t want to lose everything if this plugin will be launched, Is it possible? Because I was working with bbpress Standalone Version.

I hope you people will guide me Now what to do….

Thanks

Regards

If the bbPress plugin is at that stage already (can be released onto a website in the next 2 months), what we doing bloating up bbpress standalone with all this nonsence in 1.1 ??

[chrishajer]

Good catch Gautam. It was discussed in the dev chat yesterday:

https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-dev&day=2010-06-24&sort=asc

[kevinjohngallagher]

woah woah woah (sweet child of mine)

There’s no doubt we’re doing exceptionally well in how far we’ve come with this, especially given that the Project Lead left 4 months ago, but we’re not anywhere near that stage.

1.0 had 10 alphas (though pre-Alpha6 was massively different to Alpha7-10).

It had no beta’s. It had 1 RC which was turned into an actual release 7 days later with minimal bug fixes, and we’ve been stuck with these bugs for a year because of it.

If you want to help, and it’s awesome you do, please download the latest nightly build from the Trunk and report bugs like mad.

There should be no real alpha/beta/rc packages until we’ve squashed all the existing tickets (possible exception to backPress reliant ones).

The moer bugs we find now (in the nightly builds) the more confident we’ll all be in the Alphas that we put out there

And Gautam, excellent work once again.

[Rich Pedley]

can a release candidate be put together for general testing?

[kevinjohngallagher]

are these WP 3 MU sites you are talking about “playing nicely”?

I’ve no idea.

WP3MS and WP2MU were never supported.

It was always suggested that one should use Buddypress if using WPMU.

How that will stand up against myBB, Simple:Press, WP-United and others

As much as it’s not what I want, it will stand up favourably due to being availible as a custom one click install for WordPress.com users. There are also many people that use WordPress that have it installed via sopme form of control panel from their web host, for them a 1 click integration will be massive.

[hpguru]

So where is now bbPress 1.1 Alpha? I need full alpha with all files.
