For what it is worth, from my XXX_forum database in phpMyAdmin.

-I can get my username and pwd from bb_users, but when I enter it at my actual forum, it does not work.

-in bb_usermeta, i can find (or change) umeta_id, user_id, meta_key and met_value ; but I don’t see any file with format similar to what you said above, e.g:

user_bbdb_name

user_bbdb_user

user_bbdb_password

All I am looking for a way to back-out/unistall or fix it by changing the datbase mapping or any other trick you brainiacs may have up your sleeve.

Thanks

A quick solution might be to just remove all links to the WordPress login and registration pages… and only have links to the bbPress registration and signin.

I did that for a long time, and it eliminated the problem with having two signups…

[johnhiler]

It sounds like you’re describing a wiki?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wiki-post/

I haven’t tried that plugin yet, but it sounds like it might be up your alley!

Bump

I am looking for the same things. Number 1 can be set in the admin-panel on a clean bbPress install (no need for hacking or plugin). But I would like to know how to pull the info about edits…

[kinkythought]

How exactly do you go about redirecting? Can it be done through a plugin or does one have to hard-code files? Which files need to be edited? I am trying to do the same thing, (almost… I’d like profiles, etc. to be managed through bbpress, but registration through wp only since I use invite codes).

I’ve the same issue too with bbPress 1.0RC. I tried everything described in http://bavatuesdays.com/integrating-wpmu-buddypress-and-bbpress/ but it doesn’t help.

I found that, after I Log-in into bbPress forum, I can’t log in into WPMU, but if this process is done conversely – it is possible to log in into bbPress.

After firstly logging into WPMU and then into bbPress, there are two the same copies of cookie files.

Any suggestions?

to be honest im not sure how to awnser that directly.

I had wordpress already.

I installed bbpress, went to the settings and filled in the intergration settings in hopes of having it work.

But.. alas it doesn’t.

[chrishajer]

When you go to edit a post you’ve previously made? Weird, it still happens for me. Odd for sure. No big deal though, just figured I would put it out there.

[theindiansabroad]

Thanks.

When I go to phpMyAdmin, I do see bunch of tables under XXX-forum. For example, when I open bb_usermeta, it shows some entries such as umeta_id, User_id; but when I try to ‘browse’ them , I don’t see the the contents where I can see user name etc, instead I see something like:

SQL query:

SELECT COUNT( * ) AS Rows , user_id

FROM bb_usermeta

GROUP BY user_id

ORDER BY user_id

LIMIT 0 , 30

Is there a guide as to how I can work with this. Or do you know what is the best way to delete bbpress without affecting my wordpress, I will try to re-install it.

Thx.

I had WP2.7.1 and bbPress1.06a working perfectly.

Now I’ve replaced 1.06a with RC1. Kept exactly the same settings (apart from a duplicate bbp database – which is identical in all but name). Same wordpress integration bumpf in the bb-config file.

Then I run the database upgrade. And it all works as expected apart from the cookie integration.

Logging in via WP does log me into bbP but I can’t log into WP unless I go through /wp-admin (cookies spat out by each login all correspond.)

Anyone else had a similar problem or offer a solution?

I have upgraded the bb-integration plugin in WP and if I switch back to the previous version of the forum it all works fine again. So I can only pressume something odd is happening in RC1.

It’s not in your folder, it’s in your SQL database.

As I said, you’re going to need phpMyAdmin or something to fix it.

I am having the same problem as well. Using WordPress MU 2.7.1, bbPress 1.0-rc-1 and buddypress 1.0. WPMU and bbPress successfully share the user database, but users still have to log in seperately.

WPMU seems to store the login information in a cookie called “wordpress_logged_in_”, while bbpress uses “wordpress_logged_in_[bunch of letters and numbers]”.

I already tried adding “define(‘COOKIEHASH’, ‘[same bunch of letters and numbers]’ );” to wp-config.php, but it had no effect whatsoever. No hash appeared in the wp-login-cookie.

I also tried making bbPress use “wordpress_logged_in_” (without the bunch of numbers) as login cookie. This resulted in the same cookie name being used, but the logins were still not shared. When I switched between bbpress/wpmu, I got logged out from the application which was the last to be logged in to.

Interestingly, there is another hashlike string behind the user name in the value of the cookie. Like this: “admin%[bunch of letters and numbers]” This hashlike sting is different between wpmu and bbpress. Even for the same user.

I would guess that means that some hashgenerating constant is off, but I do not know which one. I synched those with their bbpress equivalents: AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY, NONCE_KEY, AUTH_SALT, LOGGED_IN_SALT, SECURE_AUTH_SALT.

For AUTH_SALT, LOGGED_IN_SALT and SECURE_AUTH_SALT I did use the values from the wp-config.php because I could not find them in the WPMU admin interface. I guess that’s a difference between WP and WPMU?

What am I missing?

[Ben L.]

Strange… The boxes are rounded for me…

[Ben L.]

dbosch: you can always upgrade. You just can’t downgrade.

[chrishajer]

Noticed one little weirdness that most people wouldn’t ever run into. If you go to edit a post, the boxes are not rounded like everywhere else. This is with FF 3.0.10 on Windows XP.

Other than that, things look great. Thank you.

Hi Florian,

there was no problem with “Forum could not be created” in my case.

Manoj Kumar in BuddyPress forum helped me with this problem, here is the solution:

1. Delete all tables created by bbPress from your database

2. Install bbPress without integration with wordpress

3. Login with Key Master

4. Go to admin tab

5. Do wordpress integration

here is the link

[chrishajer]

Sounds like you have a separate database for WordPress and bbPress? The message says there is no wp_users table in the bbp01 database. Did you use separate databases or the same one for bbPress and WordPress?

[theindiansabroad]

where can I find bb_meta. I don’t see functions.bb_meta.php in bb-includes directory.

Yhx

[rdsr]

bbPress database error: [Table ‘andreame_bbp01.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]

SELECT ID FROM wp_users WHERE user_login = ‘admin’

I tried following the integration steps properly.

WordPress Version: 2.6.5

BBpress Version: 0.9.0.4

My Regular WordPress login works.

If integration was successful wouldn’t it be the same login information for the BBpress?

How can i fix this?

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

You have to tell bb, when you set it up, where wp is Default assumption is that it’s the same folder. You’re going to need phpMyAdmin or something to fix it.

Go into your XXX_forum database and open up the bb_meta table.

Look for:

user_bbdb_name

user_bbdb_user

user_bbdb_password

The first one is the NAME of your WordPress database (so XXX_wrdp1), the second is the ID used to access said database (sounds like XXX_wrdp1 from your post) and the third is (heh) your password for that ID.

Set those up to point to WP and you should be able to log in.

[theindiansabroad]

Yes, the database for wordpress is XXX_wrdp1 . Could you please tell me what is the most graceful way of fixing it? I don’t want to affect my operational site on wordpress, just want to integrate BBpress with it.

Thanks in advance.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)]

It looks like you have separate databases for your forum and blog. Do you also have an XXX_blog or XXX_wordpress database?

[Florian]

Hey,

I think I had the same problem. Did you get the message “Forum could not be created” when you chose a new username?

I just installed without integration and integrated afterwards. This killed my admin access, but I could restore it with the plugin which was mentioned in some of the sticky threads.

Both installs now successfully share the user database, but I am still fighting with cookie integration… *sigh*

Greetings,

Florian

Hi

I am running WP 2.7.1 and bbPress 0.9.4 and have completed “deep” integration of the two (cookies, logins, users, wp functions).

A major component I use is a WP Plugin called “Featured Content Gallery” and I am trying to fuse it into bbPress. I have added the code and it *half works*. That is; none of the images, nor the description appear but oddly enough the title shows.

My question is then, has anyone actually done this? If so how OR Is it even possible?

[ndrwld]

Hey,

I’ve a problem with bbPress integration with WPMU. All installation steps going fine. I enter cookie integration fields, the same database, use default prefix’es, but nothing solves the problem.

In 3 step of bbPress installation when I enter existing user “admin” in key master field it shows me an error – “The key master could not be created. An existing user was found with that user login.”. But even if I choose new user, forum installation ends fine but when trying to login, it redirects me to install wizard once again.

With single install (without integration) bbPress works fine.
