Very good. I created my config by hand, and always have since I first started using bbPress. Not sure why that didn’t work for you the first time around.

Shagalaga,

The answer up I gave in this thread is the answer to Vadi’s question on the bbPress Avatars plugin. That plugin generates a random avatar for users with no Gravatar. Once you have a Gravatar account, you can change your avatar whenever you like.

[creede]

Same boat as ctsstom, my wp users can log into bbpress just fine, they just can’t post. It looks like it might be a problem with the assigned user roles?

can somebody answer Vadis question here? i have the same problem

[blankpoint]

In addition to the info in the previous post, I’ve looked at the cookies themselves.

I see that when I log in through bbpress, the cookies are from http://www.blahblah.com. When I log in through wordpress, it’s just blahblah.com (no www prefix). Under the configuration for both sites, http://www.blahblah.com is set as the main page. I also see that wordpress puts four cookies, while bbpress puts six. They both put wordpress_test_cookie and wordpress_logged_in_xxxxxxxxxxxx

but wordpress puts just two other ones, named wordpress_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the paths

/wp-content/plugins and /wp-admin

While bbpress also includes the bb-press directories. Is this why a login through wordpress does not get me access to the bbpress admin?

[blankpoint]

I’m having some trouble and am smacking my head against the wall… I hope someone can help me.

I’ve got WordPress 2.6.2 installed at http://www.blahblah.com/

and bbPress 1.0 alpha at http://www.blahblah.com/forum

They are in two databases sharing the user tables.

My problem is that the user must Log OUT from the site that he/she logged IN from. If they logged in at the bbPress login form, then they will be logged in properly on the wordpress site, but if they try to logout there, they will get kicked back to the main page, but STILL BE LOGGED IN. They will only be able to properly log out from bbPress. And the same is true in reverse — if they login from wordpress, they will be logged to the bbPress too, but they will have to log out from wordpress.

A second, less severe problem, but maybe it will help point to the reason for the above problem, is that if i sign in on wordpress, I will not be able to access the admin panel on the bbpress. I will be logged in as admin, and can perform admin functions on the site, but I cannot go to /bb-admin — I get kicked back out. However, if I sign in on bbPress, I CAN access my wordpress admin section.

Any ideas? My wp-config and bb-config files have the definitions for SECRET_KEY, AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY (with BB_ prefixed for the bb-config ones).

They also both have

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.blahblah.com');

define('COOKIEPATH', '/');

Is this correct? It should be the same for both?

One thing that might be the root of the problem, or at least I was not sure about, is the setting for “WordPress “secure auth” cookie salt ” in the WordPress integration settings in bbPress. I have left this blank because I have no such entry on my options.php page in WordPress. I did fill in the other two “salt” items, though. I confess that I don’t really understand what this salt stuff is for, but any advice would be appreciated.

I’m on 1&1 hosting, if that makes any difference.

bbPress is linked into Gravatar. You have to get a Gravatar account, and then go into Settings in the bbPress admin. At the very bottom is a checkbox for enabling Gravatars. Click that and you should start to see avatars on the forum.

If you don’t like the “mystery man” no Gravatar picture, I’d recommend trying the bbPress Avatars plugin, which will let you integrate avatar generation scripts.

[vadi]

How can a user change their avatar on a new bbPress installation?

I failed to find options for this

WordPress and bbPress use the PHPass hashing mechanism to store passwords in the database.

You can also “odwngrade” the password hashing to MD5 using this plugin…

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/md5-insecurity-for-bbpress/

[Sam Bauers]

Heh, it almost takes video proof for people to believe that it works sometimes.

There doesn’t appear to be anything wrong with that bb-config, but you should just let the installer create it for you.

BackPress is included with bbPress when you grab it via SVN or in the 1.0-Alpha packages. SO there is no need to get it separately.

[Sam Bauers]

They are doing it somehow over at edublogs.org but I think that is a highly customised bit of code where they are sharing one bbPress install amongst multiple blogs in WPMU.

bbPress doesn’t offer this out of the box, no.

[Sam Bauers]

Not really, bbPress and WordPress themes aren’t compatible without some work. I am trying to steer people away from loading WordPress “inside” bbPress.

Much better approach is to port your WordPress theme across to bbPress.

[Sam Bauers]

No, just install as normal in step 1 add the KEYS as they exist in your WPMU install and by the time you get to step 2 (integration) you should have a bb-config.php file. Add the SALTS in at the start of step 2 before you submit your integration details.

I made a change today to trunk… https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1747

This should allow you to successfully integrate and select an admin from the blog with ID of 1 (usually the primary blog) in your WPMU install as a keymaster.

Hopefully this will sort you out.

[chrishajer]

That won’t work for cookie and user integration.

[inflatables]

Good nice.

wordpress 2.6 + bbP 0.9.0.2

Is that OK?

[chrishajer]

If you have a tool like phpMyAdmin, I think you should be able to log in there and change the site URL.

You used to be able to define the site URL in the bb-config.php as well. This is what used to be in that file:

// The full URL of your bbPress install

$bb->uri = 'http://www.truediy.com/';

 

Maybe if you put that second line in your bb-config.php maybe that will override the database settings? (Actually, I’m fairly certain that will work. Then you can update the settings in the admin.)

[chrishajer]

It’s hard to tell if there’s an error in an edited bb-config.php. I have seen where the secret keys are not properly escaped, and that creates a PHP problem. As you’ve posted it (edited) it works fine.

I just did an svn checkout of r1736 and that included backpress r153, which is what’s available at the URL you posted.

Mine installed cleanly. I did not integrate with WordPress. You can see a one minute video of the installation here:

http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/1736/

I suspect a problem with the secret keys in the bb-config.php. Or some other syntax problem with the bb-config.php. If you have a command line with php you can run

php -l bb-config.php

to check that file for syntax errors. That’s “php dash el”, l for Lint.

[cabal79]

Well I used yesterdays Trunk Release (1736) and the Backpress folder from here: http://svn.automattic.com/backpress/trunk/includes/

Is there anything else I’d have to add to the Trunk that I possibly missed?

I don’t really think that the bb-config syntax is wrong because it’s working with the Alpha just fine.

Anyways, the code for what it’s worse:

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define('BBDB_NAME', 'xxxxx');      // The name of the database

define('BBDB_USER', 'xxxxx');     // Your MySQL username

define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 'xxxxx'); // ...and password

define('BBDB_HOST', 'localhost');    // 99% chance you won't need to change these last few



define('BBDB_CHARSET', 'utf8');      // If you are *upgrading*, and your old bb-config.php does

define('BBDB_COLLATE', '');          // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them

// If you are installing for the first time, leave them here



// Change each KEY to a different unique phrase.  You won't have to remember the phrases later,

// so make them long and complicated.  You can visit https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm

// to get phrases generated for you, or just make something up.  Each key should have a different phrase.

// If you are integrating logins with WordPress, you will need to match each key to

// the value of their equivalent keys in the WordPress file wp-config.php

define('BB_AUTH_KEY', 'xxxxx'); // Change this to a unique phrase.

define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'xxxxx'); // Change this to a unique phrase.

define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'xxxxx'); // Change this to a unique phrase.



// If you are running multiple bbPress installations in a single database,

// you will probably want to change this.

$bb_table_prefix = 'bb_'; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!



// Change this to localize bbPress.  A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BB_LANG to 'de'

// to enable German language support.

define('BB_LANG', '');



?>

Thanks for helping out!

bbpress version 0.9.0.2

Operating System: Linux Hosting

Configuration: 2.0

PHP Version: 5.x

I was trying to change the url of my bbpress forum because it was loading from the preview site that GoDaddy gave me before I made it live. In doing so I effectively locked myself out of the admin area and redirected all of the content. Is there a php file that I can re-upload to counter the changes I made or do I need to talk to my server host? The error message I get when I click on a topic or category is that safari can’t find the content on the server, I then set the url to the url I last changed it to and get the message “No input file specified.”

Take a look at http://www.truediy.com if you want to see what I am talking about.

Thanks!

[chrishajer]

Do you have access to server logs? If you’re getting a blank screen, it’s probably a 500 Internal Server Error. Maybe there’s a problem with one of your WordPress templates.

[sowmithrii]

no.. its not a wp blog. it’s my own site completed coded by me…

is there any way??

or if can i know about the type of encryption wordpress is using for encrypting the password. I am having the wordpress software , but unable to debug all the pages……

[Olaf Lederer]

I guess your website is not the WP blog?

[keress]

No, I can access the admin of the blog, and I can access the forum. But the blog pages/posts all comes up as a blank screen.

[sowmithrii]

Hi, Am new to this site and hope am posting this query in right place.

I recently downloaded bbpress forum software . The integration was successfull with wordpress . But I want the users in my website to access the forum without need of registering in it again.

I dint find any means of achieving this. Can anyone help…

I tried changing the forum code., but i think it is not a good idea.

CHeeRS,

sowmithrii
