Unless I’m missing something I don’t believe you can log in with your email address to bbPress 1.0. You certainly can’t on this forum or my own (both running 1.0.2).

It was probably a cookie caching issue. Once in a while my cookies on FF go stupid and I have this exact issue. I have to dump ’em all, flush the cache, and magically it works again. It happens on any site, though, not just Akismet ones.

[spencerjw]

Do you mean after I lo into WP Admin or bbPress Admin?

When clicking on bbPress “Admin” I get taken to a page that displays the front page….OMG!!

Ok, as I was typing the above line I went to click on it just to verify exactly what I was seeing and to describe it to you. Then all of a sudden I am taken to the Admin Dashboard for bbPress.

Go figure that it doesn’t work for over 24 hours and as soon as I complain or ask for help it starts working. Damn ghosts in the machine…

[batrachoid]

What do you see? Do you see your Dashboard?

[spencerjw]

I’ve been browsing these forums for the last day and a half while installing the latest version of bbPress on my 2.8.3 install of WP. So far so good with one glaring issue. When I log in as my Admin and click the “Admin” link at the op left of the bbPress page I have no idea if I am actually seeing the admin area or not. I don’t see anything that says Settings or any way to customize my install, change themes, etc…

Am I missing something here? I’m kind of at a loss as to what I can do next to try to debug this issue. Even the login integration with my WP install worked out pretty well. When I log out of one system it successful logs me out of the other, same is true when I log in.

[balajimurugavel]

Thanks again,

I’ll check the above links, but I think its not that easy

I’m not using any language files no. I wish I could, but bbpress did not have Norwegian.

I’m not using any plugins at all for BBpress. And I did not integrate BBpress with WordPress. It’s a perfectly clean install.

What do I have to do? Should I de-install it and do something different? You can see the installation on http://www.michaeljackson.no/forum

[paulandrew]

Yeah, looks like an openID wrapper of some kind. I tried it on a few sites with my google ID and it was really slick.

Here’s the WP plug-in. Will let you know if it works with bbpress once I try it.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rpx/

And yes, good thinking about the log-in–would probably redirect people to always login through wp/rpx just to be sure.

It is probably unwise to make this very premature announcement, but I’m working on integrating BB as a plugin of WP, with seamless installation, integrated users, login, search, themes (header, sidebar, footer and as much styling as possible), XML-RPC, Tags, RSS, compatibility with relevant WP plugins like goggle analytics and tinymce comments, and new widgets to show bbpress info. Right now the installation, user integration and login are working.

This is a spare time project, so there is no ETA…. (and if you think that I’m looking for a sponsor for this project, you are at least partly right )

Since it is a challenging project, I sometimes wonder if it worth it. More specifically, does someone in Automatic currently making an high level design for a similar feature and I’m practically wasting my time?

Sam, can you comment about this?

[kriskl]

Oh!

Thanks CK

[chrishajer]

Are you using any plugins? If so, disable them.

Are you using a different language file? I see the .no in your domain name.

Also, do you integrate with WordPress, and if so, what version. And what version of bbPress too.

The only other error I found close to this is here:

http://support.bbpress.de/topic/anmeldung-nicht-moglich-bitte-hilfe

That’s in German, which made me think of the language file. The complaint there seems to have something to do with a XAMPP installation. What server are you running on?

[chrishajer]

You can just delete the files from the file system, if that’s what you mean. If you use an FTP client, there should be a way to delete the whole bbPress folder/directory (normally right click and “Delete” then answer the prompts). That will remove bbPress. You can remove the database tables next with a tool like phpMyAdmin. Hopefully your host provides something like that. You can log in and delete any table with a bb_ prefix, or whatever prefix you chose when installing (default is bb_).

Good luck.

Here’s the current state of deep integration – along with hints at the future path.

There’s no known way to access bbPress functions inside of WordPress:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/first-pass-at-a-fix-for-deep-integration-in-trunk#post-21621

Sam has said he’s willing to support WordPress function calls from inside of bbPress

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/what-is-the-opposite-of-deep-integration#post-36853

But WordPress isn’t returning the favor:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-access-to-bbpress-functions#post-37451

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-access-to-bbpress-functions#post-37460

So essentially, we’re looking at one-way integration being the probable future. bbPress is working hard to make sure it itnegrates deeply with WordPress, but WordPress isn’t making the same effort.

But- keep in mind that there’s a performance hit for “deep integration”! I personally use simple integration on my sites. _ck_ highlights the advances of simple integration here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/display-bbpress-on-wordpress-page-inside-the-blog#post-25353

It’s pretty disappointing that WordPress isn’t using BackPress… especially since Sam made such a huge effort to integrate BackPress into bbPress. Also, bbPress took quite a performance hit from integrating BackPress.

I’m hoping for a miracle somehow to redeem bbPress! In the meantime, I’m preparing contingency plans…

[johnhiler]

It sounds like a plugin which lets you use OpenID or other commercial services to sign in…

If users sign in using your WordPress domain using RPX, then they should automatically be signed into your bbPress (I can’t say for sure though, since I’ve never used PPX).

But to have it work 100% of the time, you’d probably have to disable registration and signin from the bbPress side of things…

[DennisH]

Deep integration is what I meant when I said we intergrated our theme. Outside of a few minor adjustments we used this method:

http://tinsology.net/2009/05/seamless-wordpress-bbpress-integration/

It worked very well in terms of using WP within BB. The issue now is getting BB within WP.

I just installed BBPress because I really need a simple forum for my website. The install went perfectly, and I got it up and running, or so it appeared. When I tried to log in with the master account, like the setup wizard told me to do, I got these following messages beneath:

Why does it not work. Can any of you help me get it up and running. I just want to start designing it and not having to worry about all this php stuff.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

Can you link to the plugin? I don’t know that off the top of my head.

[DennisH]

@Ipstenu – It’s not the glitter and unicorns that make a site hard to convert, but best practices If you designed your website with good XHTML etc, it’s a simple matter (a weekend at most) to convert it to WordPress or bbPress or BuddyPress.

That was just my attempt at humor.

We where able to integrate BB into our WP theme is about 30min. Although restyling everything is still ongoing, but that’s not a issue with BB (although more themes would be great). With the WP header/footer there is some issues with BB plugins that require javascript, but we are working around that.

The issue I have with “integration” is that WP should be able to call info BB and vice versa. That’s it.

The other issue I have is that v1.0 more or less killed all the developments that came before it.

I think BB is great and I wouldn’t be spending my time here if I didn’t. After solving a major issue with converting our old phpbb forum we have decided to push forward with bbPress.

So now I’m off to figure out how to call up Bavatars in the post.php file. If I have time after that I will try and get that BB welcome/login message in the header working.

[paulandrew]

So I have an install of WP which is log-in integrated with my bbPress install.

If I were to install the JanRain RPX plug-in for WP, would that RPX based log-in also work for bbPress?

[johnhiler]

It’s definitely possible to do.

Here are a few links on it that should hopefully shed some light!

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-integration-2

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

I’m trying to have a central signon at my site, where users must sign onto WP first and access bbPress via a page link. The logic you’ve provided looks like it can be incorporated to include the bbPress login page, is this correct?

I think kind of — I’m not 100% sure what you’re describing so let me try a different way.

If you force all registration to go through WPMU, then you can use the in-line login form, native to bbPress, to permit users to log in via bbPress, and they will still be logged in on WPMU. That’s the basic plus of integration Login on WPMU, you’re in on bbPress, and vice versa.

In my template, make my login-form.php file look like this:

<form class="login" method="post" action="<?php bb_uri('bb-login.php', null, BB_URI_CONTEXT_FORM_ACTION + BB_URI_CONTEXT_BB_USER_FORMS); ?>">

<p>

<label><input name="user_login" type="text" id="quick_user_login" size="20" maxlength="40" value="<?php if (!is_bool($user_login)) echo $user_login; ?>" tabindex="1" /> <?php _e('User Name'); ?></label>

<br /><label><input name="password" type="password" id="quick_password" size="20" maxlength="40" tabindex="2" /> <?php _e('Password'); ?></label>

<br /><input name="re" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $re; ?>" /> <?php wp_referer_field(); ?> <input type="submit" name="Submit" class="submit" value="<?php echo attribute_escape( __('Log In') ); ?>" tabindex="4" /> <label><input name="remember" type="checkbox" id="quick_remember" value="1" tabindex="3"<?php echo $remember_checked; ?> /><?php _e('Remember me'); ?></label>

<br /><a href="http://yourdomain.com/wordpressmu/wp-register.php">Register</a> | <a href="http://yourdomain.com/wordpressmu/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword">Forgot password?</a><br />

</p>

</form>

What this does is, if someone clicks on the registration or forgot password links, is take them right to the WP side. Now from there, it’ll log them back in to the WP main page, IIRC, but the login form itself, being inline, will keep the user on the same page as they logged in from, so they don’t appear to go anywhere.

Does that make sense?

Are there any other backdoors or pages users can directly access from the outside that may need redirection?

Since the bbAdmin pages are locked to admins, I don’t think you need to worry about that.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

bbPress-WordPress syncronization Version 0.7.7 – You shouldn’t need this right now. It’s not required for WP 2.8+ and bb 1.0+

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

@DennisH – It’s not the glitter and unicorns that make a site hard to convert, but best practices If you designed your website with good XHTML etc, it’s a simple matter (a weekend at most) to convert it to WordPress or bbPress or BuddyPress.

And I do get what you mean about Gravatars. I rather like them because it gives people a sense of conformity in that Ipstenu everywhere has this icon and I am, thus, recognizable. Internet anonymity wishes aside, it grants me a level of credibility. I am me as you are we as I clearly need more coffee!

[balajimurugavel]

Thanks John,

No particular choice, which ever user system is easy and simple to integrate.
