All of the manual -config.php file changes are “recommended settings” and should not be considered “required settings.”

It will still take some trial and error to sync the platforms up, and some educated cookie viewing to make sure each platform is dropping the same cookies with the same hosts, paths, domains, and hashes.

My advice is to make sure that the cookie, key, salt, path, and domain related manual entries into your -config.php files are mirror images of each other, and then start modifying from there if one platform drops a cookie differently than the other.

Here’s a question for the bbPress guru side of this. Is it possible to have forums.domain.com on a WPMU install, and have that domain forward to a bbPress installation? My guess is it would take some creative hacking of .htaccess, but I’ll be honest to say I don’t know how I’d do it.

Thoughts?

Chrishajer,

Once bbPress goes 1.0, I’ve got a write-up in the queue that will go on buddypress.org and I’ll give to Sam also to put here. I’m going to do a walk-through and probably put it on wordpress.tv also. Trent and I had talked about joining our efforts together a few weeks back, but I think we’re both waiting for bbPress1.0 to drop.

The only reason I haven’t put anything official out there yet is the process has changed 3 times in the past 3 months and I’d prefer not to add any more info to the mix that will potentially be out-dated before it’s even cited as a valuable reference.

Half the reason there are the questions there are, is because there are 10 different ways to do it, and none of them are correct for every installation/version of each application.

I’ll try to talk to Sam tomorrow on IRC and see if there are any cookie/login/session changes due for bbPress before 1.0, and if not I’ll set something up ASAP.

Jim Groom has a wiki how-to about integrating WPMU, buddypress, and bbpress:

http://umwblogs.org/wiki/index.php/Integrating_WPMu%2C_BuddyPress%2C_and_bbPress

[chrishajer]

I’d like to see a howto for this, if it exists. I haven’t seen one yet and I continue to see questions here about WPMU integration with bbPress. Thanks.

PROFILE – user specified fields

I thought there was an “extended profile” plugin as well but I can’t find it right now.

i’ve integrated the latest trunk of bbPress with my installation of MU 2.7.1 but if I try to login in MU i’m not logged in in bbPress and i have to re-insert my accout username and password.

i’ve used sam’s plugin but nothing change. I’ve seen the cookie name and are the same, but the problem don’t change…

anyone can help me? thanks for all.

[bradsucks]

I’m looking to add a field to the bbPress sign-up process, so that it’ll be added to bb_usermeta like the default Website/Occupation/Location ones. Does anyone know of any plugins that already do this?

I think I could hack it up but I’d rather learn from a plugin that’s doing it properly. Thanks!

[Florian]

Nope, didn’t help.

I narrowed the problem down a bit further, though. As soon as I add the following line to my bb-config, cookie integration works but bbpress-admin-access breaks:

$bb->logged_in_cookie = ‘wordpress_logged_in_’;

Any suggestions?

[chrishajer]

It appears your domain is hosted at 1&1 Internet. If so, you might need to add this to the

top of your .htaccess file:

Options -MultiViews

Dropping “MultiViews” support?

I have domains with 1&1 and I needed to do that to make the rewrite rules work for me.

[chrishajer]

I think EasyPHP is for Windows, so I think you will need an SMTP mailer for Windows. I don’t have any first hand experience with those, but I have heard about a couple:

http://www.google.com/search?q=windows+smtp+mailer

Also, instead of mailing the password you could just display it with the Instant Password plugin:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/instant-password/

[chrishajer]

The bbpress directory does not go inside the WordPress plugins directory. You probably want it here /home/ironogre/public_html/worldsworkshop/bbpress/ and you will access it at http://www.worldsworkshop.com/bbpress/ . See if that works for you. Also, you can rename the bbpress directory to something else, like forums or community or something. That part of the URL is visible to the public, so make it meaningful to you.

If your primary concern is sending emails to newly registered users, you may want to check out this plugin:

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

You already have a post for this: Registration Email setup – To User along with Password

You don’t need to make multiple posts, that’s spamming

You probably don’t have email capabilities as a ‘server’ on your local machine. Have you ever installed websoftware that sends emails from localhost before?

bbPress version 0.9.0.4

MySQL vesrion 5.0.67-community-log

Someone told me to change :

$this->rows_affected = mysql_affected_rows();

for :

$this->rows_affected = mysql_affected_rows($this->dbh);

Hi CK,

SMTP mailer for BBpress is not working for me.

I have installed on the local machine the Easy Php and set up the bbpress.

I have internet connection and I used my office SMTP address and changed the file mentioned in the plugin, but still the same problem I am not able to send the mails to the users who registered.

Please look into this and help me with this problem

[stereopoly]

Hey guys,

as many topics in this forum, this is another one concerning permalinks. I have read the FAQ here: http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/#pretty-permalinks and I have tried both, using Options +MultiViews and also using the code generated by /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php but I cannot seem to get my permalinks working.

http://www.mitstil.com/community is the link to my forums.

The bbpress installation will use pretty permalinks but my host calls it a 404! Please help!

[vikram_gripsack]

Hi Folks,

Thanks in Advance

Solved somehow

i`ve updated to WP 2.8 rc 1

and now it does work!

There is another SEO plugin for bbPress:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/adding-meta-tags-or-seo-option#post-27178

It is also rough but it does a good job altogether.

[Tynan Beatty]

There’s no secret to it. All the info you need is in these forums. You mostly need to make sure that the […] in the following:

define('AUTH_KEY'[...] matches define('BB_AUTH_KEY'[...]

define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY'[...] matches define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY'[...]

define('LOGGED_IN_KEY'[...] matches define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY'[...]

and define('NONCE_KEY'[...] matches define('BB_NONCE_KEY'[...]

between your wp-config.php and bb-config.php.

Make sure you use different table prefixes for WP and bbP.

bb-config.php shouldn’t have anything extra defined in it past that, if you had left in WP2.8. Since you downgraded to 2.7 your bb-config.php needs to have define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1); until you upgrade back to 2.8, at which point you need to remove that line again.

Your wp-config.php needs to have define('COOKIEPATH', '/wordpress/'); where ‘wordpress’ is the path to wherever you installed WP, or define('COOKIEPATH', '/'); if WP is in your site’s base folder.

Visit the WP administration settings and fill out the bbPress Integration Plugin settings (but mind what I said above, you probably shouldn’t add what it suggests adding to your wp-config.php file).

Visit the bbP administration settings and fill out the WordPress Integration settings there as well.

As I said in the posts I linked earlier, everything works fine for me with WP2.8-RC1 or any of the betas, and bbP1.0-RC1, except that if users log in from bbP, they can’t log out from WP (which seems a somewhat trivial issue since I doubt many users will need to do that).

Hope you can get it working.

peace~

This came up once before here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/install-issue-fatal-error-line-72

Is it possible you attempted to install bbPress as a plugin inside of your WordPress install?

It’s a separate program and should be installed separately…

[soupviking]

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_option() in /home/ironogre/public_html/worldsworkshop/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bb-plugins/akismet.php on line 72

What did I do wrong? I got this before Akismet was deactivated and after.

[Atsutane]

Nothing secret. My forum is on subdomain while my blog is on main domain.

All i need to do is define define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.atsutane.net'); and define('COOKIEPATH', '/'); inside wp-config.php

And if you are using Bbpress 1.0 RC1 with WP 2.7.1, you need to defind this define('WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION', 1); inside bb-config.php.

Another thing is, i let bbpress handle all registration and log in/log out process.

Hope this will help you
