Hi All. I had registrations using bbpress (but also registering in wordpress) working fine with beta 1.

Now with beta 2 if I try to register in bbpress I get the message “Email Email is required” even though I’ve entered an email. My guess is that beta 2 changed how the emails are stored in the database maybe?

Registering through wordpress works fine, but it’s doing what it always did which is make the bbpress role “Inactive (no role)” which means it’s not instant, and I have to go in to make the change.

I had a plugin installed that fixed this problem, but it stopped working with another update.

Any thoughts on how to fix either of these so things work again?

Hi Pagal,

the code you’ve linked to looks quite identical to both mine and Gautam’s; but to clarify that also only going to work on WordPress files (not bbPress) unless you have Deep Integration enabled and working.

Presuming then that you’re working from wordpress and/or with deeply integrated bbpress this code should help:

if ( !$user_id ) {

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

$user_id = $current_user->ID;

} else {

$user_id = (int) $user_id;

}

if ($user_id != 0)

{

$userdata = get_userdata($user_id);

$pagal_this_is_the_username_you_want = $userdata->user_login;

}

Morning lads,

Sun is shining here, hope you’re all having a great day.

@mr_pelle

I think we’re going in circles a little here; and its a position we’ve all been in and can feel your pain a little.

I see where I might have confused you yesterday.

Including the WordPress loader in the bbPress config file, so that bbPress has access to WordPress functions, is where most (if not all) of the deep integration questions/work/answers have been derived from. It’s a one way system, calling wordpress functions in bbpress. It’s not a two way system (where wordpress can call bbpress functions, and vice versa).

Hardcoding is not a good choice IMHO, because it means you have to update many pages everytime you change your mind just on a single line of code

Not really. You’d have to edit it once in the header in wrodpress and once in the header in bbpress. Being absolutely frank with you, that is the minimum you have to do everytime you make a change to your themes anyway because bbpress and wordpress don’t load the same theme files.

The way to think of bbPress and WordPress is of two separate systems that share login cookies and you can fake each’s themes make look like each other.

It’s a tough nut to get round, espeically with them being built and maintained by the same company (who are usually awesome at this sort of thing), but really, and it pains me to say this, they don’t integrate. You/me/everyone read the front page and assume it’s not [trying not to say the word ‘lie’ here]; and we expect it to be one thing and it’s not. I don’t say that to casue annoyance, i’m just tyring to manage expectations a little.

bbPress and WordPress are two separate systems which can be made to share login cookies.

Wasn’t bbPress born for this (and more)?

Nope.

bbPress was born for the sole purpose of running the wordPress support forums.

Cookie integration was a nice idea added sometime around 0.8 (as i recall), was awesome for 5 weeks with 0.9 before a wordpress update broke it. Automattic got round to fixing it some 14 months later.

bbPress playing nice with wordpress is a nice hook on the front page, it is not now, nor shall be, it’s purpose. (hence Matt telling people to not use the software, and that he’s scrapping it to become a wordPress plugin instead).

Not to mention that the code you suggested does not handle login errors…

Yeah it does. Login errors are always handled on the login page. (wp-login.php and bb-login.php). All we’ve built is a form that points to those pages.

If you login successfully you’ll be redirected back to your page, if not you’ll hit the original/default login page with the error.

if you’re looking to recreate the wp-login/bb-login page on every/all pages with all the functionality that entails, then you’ve a much bigger job on your hands, and if i’m honest, i’d head to the wordpress forums for some help there (in my experience wordpress is fussy about wp-login being used).

@ Ryan & Zaerl

This is more about morals then rights. It’s not fair that someone else earns on your hard work.

[Xevo]

Already got it working, did something wrong while installing bbpress back then.

[Kevin Muldoon]

I’ve integrated with 3.0 and 2.92 so it does work.

Just to check: you did change bb-config-sample.php to bb-config.php didn’t you?

[pagal]

Dear buddies I want to correct you both..

the code was https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in

<?php

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {

echo ‘Welcome, registered user!’;

} else {

echo ‘Welcome, visitor!’;

};

?>

and with this there is no need to call bb-load.php into wp…

Now I’ve replaced kevinjohngallagher’s html form with, Welcome, visitor!.. and its working fine now..

but the problem is the after login I want to display the register user’s name and his profile and log out link..suppose

Edit My profile | Admin | Log out wanna replace with “Welcome, registered user!”

but I’m not able to execute the php code to display the logged in user name into echo ‘php code’;

is there any solution?

Thanks

[kevinator]

Thanks Gautam. That pllugin was easy to install. Unfortunately, I believe it uses phpmail, which we have turned off on our server b/c we use Google Apps for all our corp email.

Anyone know how to change the plugin to utilize 3rd party smtp?

What is the ‘trunk version’ of bbpress?

I want to call up <?php login_form(); ?> from bbPress and show it in my WordPress header.

I thought bbPress were not yet loaded in his WP header…

Hardcoding is not a good choice IMHO, because it means you have to update many pages everytime you change your mind just on a single line of code. Not to mention that the code you suggested does not handle login errors…

I’ve successfully completed a “deep integration” and I’m currently testing another pretty integrated installation, without users db sharing and it works fine.

Why do you think bbPress and WordPress don’t play that nice together (reguardless of what the front page of this website says)? Wasn’t bbPress born for this (and more)?

[kevinjohngallagher]

I’m really confused, how can you be using bbpress and not have bb-load be called? bbPress doesn’t load if it’s not called :S

First:

If you’re building a wordpress website and want to include bbPress functions, I’d strongly suggest re-reading this:

Deep Integration, the allowing of wordpress functions to be called in bbPress, is totally unsupported and unintentional. If you can hack it to make it work then cool, but really, you’re on your own for the most part.

Calling bbpress functions in wordpress is always always always going to cause issues in the long run. it wasn’t built for it in any way shape or form. It’s a square peg in a round hole scenario, and if you can push something through then awesome, but sometimes it’s just not worth it.

Second of all, you could do this:

<br />

if(function_exists('bb_is_user_logged_in'))<br />

{</p>

<p>}<br />

Third:

in WordPress:

<br />

<?php<br />

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {<br />

// Logged in user<br />

// Hardcode your form here<br />

} else {<br />

// Not logged in<br />

// Hardcode your form here<br />

}<br />

?><br />

in bbPress:

<br />

<?php<br />

if ( bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {<br />

// Logged in user<br />

// Hardcode your form here<br />

} else {<br />

// Not logged in<br />

// Hardcode your form here<br />

}<br />

?><br />

Overall:

I suppose what I’m trying to put across to mr_pelle, pagal and mikkelsen is that you’re trying to come up with an eloquent/easy/catch-all solution that doesn’t really exist.

bbPress and WordPress don’t play that nice together (reguardless of what the front page of this website says). Integrated cookies (logged into one means you’re logged into the other) is really where the buck stops; and any deeper integration is really really unsupported.

You’re best bet, without a shadow of a doubt, is to hardcode things to look and act the way you want them; and treat wordpress and bbpress differently. The realism is if you can’t code, then bbPress is definately not for you – sadly. We can help and guide the best we can, and there are some great people helping on this board, but at the end of the day, we can’t give out generic answers that are sure to work I’m afraid (honestly we’d love to).

[ioloman]

Font size looks good on (IE/GC/FF), big avatars are absolutely nice and fit the forums, the new bbpress 2.0 rocks.

[mr_pelle]

The simplest and most straight forward solution is to work out what you want to do, and code that directly.

In this case:

<?php

if ( is_user_logged_in() || bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {

// Logged in user

// Hardcode your form here

} else {

// Not logged in

// Hardcode your form here

}

?>

You cannot call bb_is_user_logged_in() without prior inclusion of bb-load.php, though…

[kevinjohngallagher]

Well thats the bit thats up to you, you can have anything you want in there, just add the HTML you need. For most people though you can just copy the HTML output of the form you currently have. For me, that’s this:

<form class=”login” method=”post” action=”/forums/bb-login.php”>

<label>Username: <input name=”user_login” type=”text” id=”user_login” size=”13″ maxlength=”40″ value=”” tabindex=”1″ />

</label>

<label>Password: <input name=”password” type=”password” id=”password” size=”13″ maxlength=”40″ tabindex=”2″ />

</label>

<input name=”re” type=”hidden” value=”” />

<input type=”hidden” name=”_wp_http_referer” value=”/forums/” /> <input type=”submit” name=”Submit” id=”submit” value=”Log in »” tabindex=”4″ />

<input name=”remember” type=”hidden” id=”remember” value=”1″ tabindex=”3″ checked />

</form>

I have a WordPress blog integrated with BBpress.

and I”m having trouble Akismet.

I activated the Akismet plugin after I

installed BBpress then several days later I noticed no one was posting. I

thought this was strange because in those few days I had about 100 people

register.

I selected the check box next to “Create a page that shows spam

statistics” on the Akismet page. The page showed there was 26 post in the spam section.

I selected spam in the drop down box but the messages do not show up even

after I click on filter. I don’t know of any other way to get to the

messages to see if they are all spam.

I deactivated Askismet and a post showed up within 30 minutes. Any ideas? I would like to have a

spam filter.

I am looking for some howto resources on implementing bilingual for bbPress, anyone with some experience in this or know some resources can you please point me to it. Much appreciated.

[lekhoi]

Hi Johnhiler

I am also interested in the bbpress bilingual, can you help?

Please PM me with your suggestions/proposal much appreciated.

[TrishaM]

@chrishajer – thanks for the tip on the folder names – even though the older version of bbPress did not have trouble with a space in the folder name, the latest version does – so I used an underscore in place of the space, and that fixed the problem for me…..many, many thanks again for your help!

[GW]

@Rich Pedley, thanks for the tip. I had to move out the contained businesslike directory, delete my-template/businesslike. Then I replaced the contained businesslike and it worked.

Thanks @chrishajer for all your help. Much appreciated.

[Rich Pedley]

well that’s easy then, move all the files from the subdirectory into the main one.

they should not be in my-template/businesslike/businesslike but in my-template/businesslike.

How to fix? you can move them them up a directory, then delete the contained businesslike directory.

[pagal]

@ kevinjohngallagher … I’m not a techi person.. can you please tell me what code of bbpress will use in “Hardcode your form here” and”Hardcode your form here” to show the bbpress login form into wordpress…

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hey guys,

You’re really trying to do something here that was never intended.

bbPress was coded to create the same (or a readable) cookie from wordpress.

Deep Integration, the allowing of wordpress functions to be called in bbPress, is totally unsupported and unintentional. If you can hack it to make it work then cool, but really, you’re on your own for the most part.

Calling bbpress functions in wordpress is always always always going to cause issues in the long run. it wasn’t built for it in any way shape or form. It’s a square peg in a round hole scenario, and if you can push something through then awesome, but sometimes it’s just not worth it.

The simplest and most straight forward solution is to work out what you want to do, and code that directly.

In this case:

<?php

if ( is_user_logged_in() || bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {

// Logged in user

// Hardcode your form here

} else {

// Not logged in

// Hardcode your form here

}

?>

Remember, hardcoding is your friend, because YOU control it

@ mr_pelle & Gautam … I’ve tried it.. but nothing happened… I’m also searching the same solution..but not found any answer yet.. can you people please solve this topic…

We really need it..

Here is another screen shot: http://guywingfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Snap.png

Yes, I’m not sure why businesslike is inside the businesslike directory or how I would fix this. In the new shot, you can see style.css is present there.

[chrishajer]

The last time I recall hearing about a permissions thing it was on a mac client as well. I remember the screenshot.

Why is there no style.css shown in the my-templates/businesslike/ directory?

Also, why is there a businesslike directory INSIDE the businesslike directory? Shouldn’t there just be one level under my-templates?

What is inside the directory my-templates/businesslike/businesslike/ ? Is that where your theme is? Is style.css present there?

Where did this header information come from:

Also, I have no idea how to view error logs. I’m using Cyberduck for my ftp if that helps
