You don’t have to define them all, in the settings.php if it’s not defined they get created for you in some respects for some of them. This will help you during integration.

In fact anytime you use these defines you are saying to bbpress that the value your defining will manually override anything in the DB.

A goal to have during integration is to try and let the apps do the most work. This way human error can be eliminated. Now there are always exceptions but on a ‘basic’ setup. So again, avoid defines unless otherwise specifically told to (say by the integration plugin or bbpress integration settings).

NEVERMIND!!!

Apparently the problem was that when you try to login as ‘admin’ user the bbpress and wordpress user list gets confused. It thinks that they are two different users since there is the admin in bbpress user database upon install and an existing one in wordpress. This creates a conflict. I created a new admin account under a different username in wordpress and everything works correctly.

BBpress integration plugin IS NOT REQUIRED to get integration to work correctly.

I am not sure why, but “auth” cookie salt & WordPress “logged in” cookie salt in bbpress does not have to match that in wordpress.

Lastly, the most important variable other than in bb-config and wp-config files:

define(‘AUTH_KEY’,’ ‘);

define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’,’ ‘);

define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘ ‘);

Is to verify that User database table prefix is set correctly. To verify this, set field usually to wp_ and check the user list. If you have this value set correctly, then bbpress imports all users into bbpress admin area. Integration is super easy, but there are a few admin/instructional issues that have not been updated and can cause confusion. Please post if you have further questions!!!

I was wondering if anyone encountered my same problem and was able to find a workaround fix.

Currently on bbPress 1.0+wp 2.8, I like to use the Post Meta plugin to create the custom fields for name, and email address for anonymous posters. The plugin combo works fine, except that when the Post Meta plugin is active, the front page (an only that one) shows the username instead of the display name. I’d like to keep it active, because without it, all the guest posters are reverted to “Anonymous”.

In prior versions of bbPress, one could use the Display Name plugin, which no longer works. Now the feature is native.

I understand that _ck_ won’t be supporting the old plugins until December. It’s understandable. I was just hoping that someone else using the plugin combo could tell me if they were able to have the display name feature functioning on the front page.

No salts in the bb-config–thats all in the database.

The nonce key is not set in mine, but I am not 100% sure what it is.

[cornetjr]

For some reason I cannot change the :

WordPress “auth” cookie salt & WordPress “logged in” cookie salt in bbpress to match the values for wordpress!!!

[cornetjr]

Yeah, I am completely lost. Bbpress install works but there is absolutely no integration, in fact I have anti-integration. If I log into one, it logs me out of the other.

[buddha-trance]

I am confused about the use of the plugin, now. Everything works fine when deactivating it, but as the description of the plugin says … “it is also necessary to setup this plugin so that WordPress can set a couple of extra cookies which are required”.

I am not sure what the extra cookies do, if things work fine without the plugin. Is there no longer a need for these extra cookies in v. 1.0? Were they required only in the prior versions of bbPress?

[cornetjr]

Also do I have to define:

WordPress “auth” cookie salt

and WordPress “logged in” cookie salt

in the bbconfig.php?

[cornetjr]

What bout the nonce Key?

[JD Hartley]

Unless you are using the secure auth (https://) stuff you won’t need a cookie salt.

[cornetjr]

Cannot get integration to work even with the plugin. Help appreciated.

Below is generated from wordpress plugin for shared cookies:

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

User database table prefix:

set to wp_

I do not have a value for:

WordPress “secure auth” cookie salt

define( ‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ” );

When I log into bbpress it logs me out of wordpress and vice-versa. Any ideas?

Settings are the same:

AUTH_KEY <=> BB_AUTH_KEY

SECURE_AUTH_KEY <=> BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY

LOGGED_IN_KEY <=> BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY

[intimez]

Thanks for your reply.

Left the listed options blank, saved the settings and can no longer login. When I go into the settings page, it shows the field filled in so maybe I should not have changed it to blank. Reset the password to the keymaster account and still does not allow me to login. Will reinstall.

Any other suggestion? Sorry, new to bbpress.

[JD Hartley]

I am running an install without the plugin just fine. Cookies work on both ends and all. Don’t think it is needed anymore.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

try wp-admin/options.php instead of wp-admin/options-general.php

thats what works in WP

[jasonbyer]

Where do I change the SMPT server… my host has given me the server info, but where do I change it in the bbpress code?

[JD Hartley]

If you leave them blank, the installer will try and find them from the database.

If it fails, you could try and look in your database using phpmyadmin. just search for “salt”

[JD Hartley]

So I was wondering with the release of bbPress 1.0 and all if there were plans to redo bbpress.org to match the same look and feel as wordpress.org or even buddypress.org.I would be willing to work on a WordPress and bbPress theme with Sam, or if Sam or no one else wants to spend the time I could by myself.

Is this a reasonable idea?

Where can I find the following in wpmu?

WordPress Integration Settings:

auth_salt

secure_auth_salt

logged_in_salt

I don’t see it anywhere.

bbpress 1.0 final and wordpress mu 2.7.1

[joshmac]

WP Super Cache works automatically if you use deep integration.

[smi1ey]

Thanks for the reply! I resolved it! I had taken the AUTH keys from the options page of WordPress and entered them in the bbpress config file. I had assumed that by them already being listed in WordPress, that they were already in the WP config file. Apparently I was wrong. Once I ensured the AUTH keys were in both config files, it instantly started working. Woot!

[Jason Giedymin]

Where is the reference by value happening?

[rich! @ etiviti]

that is true. i modified the main register.php page (not the template – as i have a special flow for registration outside the standard bbpress way) and checked against the profile_info_keys and registered the error. But I guess one could override bb_new_user and throw a new error for a duplicate too

But, i’m not sure how one would go about handling the updating of a profile, on the main profile-edit.php page, i see this hook but its after the error codes have been checked. So I guess one could hack this page for the time being for a duplicate email and handle appropriately

if ( !$errors->get_error_codes() ) {

do_action('before_profile_edited', $user->ID);

@Sambauers

4 days ago you said in 24h the .pot for 1.0 would be available. It’s no t here: http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress-i18n/pot/tags/1.0

Where is it?

[_ck_]

$page will be greater than 1 if you are on a paginated set of pages for any kind of view, topic, etc.

so do a

global $page;

and then if ($page>1) { blah }

but search engines like google are already aware of bbPress and index it well

[plop]

Done!
