I have today in production a bb-press Version 1.0-alpha-5 (I’m not moving to RC1 as recommanded by _ck_) and WP 2.7. The SSO between the 2 was working perfectly.

I just upgraded my WP install to the new version 2.8, and now whatever I try the SSO is broken (if I log in WP, I’m disconnected from BBpress, and vice-versa). The wp-config.php and bb-config.php are in synch.

Is it a known problem?

Thanks!

Ah this had been in the v 1.0 Milestone for the past month… but yesterday it was moved to 1.5:

https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/690

So I’m guessing we won’t see it for a long while… since it was first suggested for v .8 in mid 2007, and it was bumped to .9 and then 1.0.

On Nginx, I am using this for WordPress

# WordPress pretty URLs: (as per dominiek.com)

if (-f $request_filename) {

break;

}

if (-d $request_filename) {

break;

}

rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;



# Enable nice permalinks for WordPress: (as per Yawn.it)

error_page  404  = //index.php?q=$uri;

and I want something similar for bbPress. Please share the solution!

You need to have the Forum ID for this. i am giving you a code snippet in the other thread. Just hang up for a few minutes.

We will continue discussion here in this thread : https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-loop-through-each-forum

im having to guess each and every class and function, just by how i might think they’re named…. I really can’t wait for the codex.

Sam, I’ve tried about 50 different changes and no matter what I do with the config files, the Integration plugin settings, or the bbPress WordPress Integration settings, nothing seems to change the fact that I cannot logout from WordPress if I have logged in from bbPress (that means I cannot logout period, I click logout there and can still go into either of the admins because the cookies are not removed). Everything else works fine. I could always redirect all my bbP login forms to wp-login.php I suppose, but it seems like that should be unnecessary. Could it be because my wordpress is in a subfolder of my site like /public_html/yawp/ ?

It seems when I login from bbP I get 2 wordpress_logged_in_* cookies, with identical values except that the ‘Path:’ of one is ‘/yawp/’ and the ‘Path:’ of the other is ‘/yawp’. When I login from WP I only get 1 wordpress_logged_in_* cookie, and it has a ‘Path:’ of ‘/yawp/’. I feel like this might be part of the problem.

I figured the integration speedup line $bb->sitecookiepath = '/yawp'; in bb-config.php might be to blame and added only that line, but changed it to $bb->sitecookiepath = '/yawp/';, cleared cache, deleted cookies, but still I get both logged_in cookies when logging in from bbP. That’s among trying a bunch of other different config changes to get that wp_login_* cookie unified.

Since you said in the RC-1 thread that I should be able to have this work if I just play with the cookie paths, have you any suggestions?

[alvarix]

This is a standalone bbpress install, no wp integration. Not sure what else to do to debug.

It is at http://rosalindwiseman.com/forums/

You can see in the source that I am trying to test it by turning the search form color:red

Any advice appreciated. Thanks, alvar

I installed the 1.0-RC2 and changed the permalinks setting to Name Based.

There is a comment field below it saying “If you activate “Numeric” or “Name based” permalinks, you will need to create a file at <snip>/public_html/bbpress/.htaccess containing the url rewriting rules provided here.”

Clicking on ‘provided here’ does nothing.

I checked my host’s directory, and it already had a .htaccess file there.

Where are the settings of “User role map” stored? I think I may have selected it to make WP admins to be a bbP member and it may be a bug?

Wait, is it that User role maps are just updated once when they are asked to do so? Hmm.. Makes sense! So where can be the problem?

Sam, you there?

[michaelphill]

I’m looking for a plugin that will allow me to display the last 5 or so posts in a designated forum on another page outside of the BBPress/WP installation.

Something similar to thisL

http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-latest-discussion-for-wp/

Any suggestions?

[chrishajer]

Ahh. You want to extend the registration form then.

This plugins do something similar, maybe you could use one as a starting point?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsocialize/

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/gaming-codes/

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-allow-additional-or-custom-profile-fields

Also, there has been some discussion recently in these forums of just how to do this, but I can’t find it right now.

[skelliot]

In bb-includes/conpat.php line 107 – Function name typo.

if ( !function_exists( ‘_mb_strcut‘ ) ) {

function _mb_substr( $str, $start, $length = null, $encoding = null )

{

Dunno how someone didn’t notice this… Perhaps I am a retard, but once I changed this to match bbpress worked.

[pbarry4]

Thanks chrishajer, essentially I want to merge bbpress into my existing WP theme (same header & footer). Ideally the bbpress would be embedded into a wp page.

I’ve since found an article which achieves what I’m looking to do. http://www.adityanaik.com/integratepress-part-i/

I’ll also search this forum for updated threads on the topic.

Cheers.

[chrishajer]

pbarry4 – please post what you’re looking to do exactly. Since this post was made other posts have been made that explain how to do this as well.

[pbarry4]

@zappoman Any chance you can share the wealth and make the plugin available? Cheers

[chrishajer]

No the prefixes should NOT be the same for integration. Use a different table prefix for bbPress tables, and when it comes to integration, the installer asks for your WordPress table prefix so it can use those tables for user data only.

Start a new topic for your new problem please.

[Ashish Kumar (Ashfame)]

As per my post here on my blog : http://blog.ashfame.com/2009/05/integrate-bbpress-forum-wordpress-setup/

To achieve integration between 0.9.05 & WordPress 2.7.1, I overwrite the bb_capabilities in wp_usermeta for my user by sql query as I don’t have phpmyadmin and I am using custom table prefixes.

I just followed the instructions again on a setup and got something into different.

My current password didn’t work. I manually updated it with a sql query from a known setup (I haven’t installed mail sending capabilities yet) and then I got access but now when I try to change the bb_capabilities of my admin user, it gets change, is reflected too but when I refresh the forum page, I still can’t see the link to dashboard. And now if I check the db again, the bbPress seems to have overwritten my entry to “a:1:{s:6:”member”;b:1;}” from “a:1:{s:9:.keymaster.;b:1;}”.

I am clueless at the point. I can try dropping tables and starting again would get my work done but I am curious that why it is happening.

[johnhiler]

That exact error message has only popped up once that I can see:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/can-only-post-in-firefox

In that case, it turned out to be a buggy template… not sure if this could be similar? In any case, thought I’d pass that link along to check out – good luck!

[johnhiler]

Cookies

We should probably have a general writeup of how Cookies work in both WordPress and bbPress, across versions… how the WordPress cookie was changed in versions 2.5 and 2.6, and how the bbPress cookie was changed from 0.9 to 1.0 (and any other changes that you can think of!)

Of particular note would be which versions integrate well with each other (e.g. how bbPress 0.9 doesn’t have native support to integrate with the latest WordPress versions… so for a number of months, the only way to upgrade WordPress was to upgrade to the alpha 1.0).

Also, ck’s bbPress cookie upgrade plugin… and Superann’s WordPress cookie downgrade plugin (to allow 0.9 to talk to the latest WordPress cookies).

Anyone enough of a Cookie guru to draft a general writeup of how cookies work, and the general cookie compatibility issues we’ve seen? I think we can do better than the WordPress Codex, which seems really vague:

https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Cookies

Integration

Might be worth sharing links to people who have integrated bbPress with non *Press user logins:

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

Maybe also a writeup on “deep” *Press integration versus other more “shallow” forms of integration (shared login)… some useful links on that:

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

Any other links on deep versus shallow integration?

[Atsutane]

$sql="SELECT * FROM bb_posts WHERE post_topic='' ORDER BY post_id DESC LIMIT 8";

It seem like you telling the script to look for post with empty topic. Try change it to this:

$sql="SELECT * FROM bb_posts ORDER BY post_id DESC LIMIT 8";

[exchequer598]

Shouldn’t the prefixes too be the same for integration? But guess what, I just uploaded bbPress 1.0 RC2 and somehow the problem is fixed!! But now when I login to bbPress admin page, I cannot see the link for the Plugins page. Also, if I type /bb-admin/plugins.php, I get redirected to the forum’s homepage! Please help

[chrishajer]

The original fix was to add the bogus data after the apparently ‘failed’ installation, then your forums would be usable. Is that not the case?

Also, you used the SAME table prefix for both WPMU and bbPress? I don’t think that’s normally a good thing. I think bbPress would overwrite some WP tables in that case.

Hi John,

Thanks for the input. I am already aware about this.

I was looking for another solution. I tried my hands on this code but it doesnt work.

Can some1 help me on this?

help much appreciated.

<?

mysql_connect(“localhost”, “username_db_forum”, “password”);

mysql_select_db(“database_name_forum”);

$sql=”SELECT * FROM bb_posts WHERE post_topic=” ORDER BY post_id DESC LIMIT 8″;

$risultati=mysql_query($sql);

while($riga=mysql_fetch_array($risultati)) {

$target=$riga[“post_topic”];

$target1=$riga[“post_id”];

echo”<img src=”images/bullet.gif” align=”absmiddle”>$target

“;

}

?>

When I try to have access to WordPress functions (including that line said on documentation) I get this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _mb_substr() (previously declared in /home/aedi/public_html/wp-includes/compat.php:86) in /home/aedi/public_html/bbpress/bb-includes/backpress/functions.compat.php on line 108

When I get to line 108, that’s what I see:

if ( !function_exists( ‘_mb_strcut’ ) ) {

function _mb_substr

_mb_strcut??? Shouldn’t be _mb_substr?

[alvarix]

I am attempting to integrate bbpress rc-1 into a wp blog (2.7.1) so it utilizes the same header and footer, but I don’t need db or login integration.

I only need to load wordpress so I can call get_header() and get_footer(). When I add this to the top of bb-config.php require_once('/path/to/wp-blog-header.php'); it seems to destroy the ability to login. I am simply routed to another page (Add New Topic), without actually having been logged in. If I try to access bb-admin.php, it spits me back onto the index page.

Any guides suggestions?
