BBpress told me to put this in the wp-config, and I did, but still no luck.

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

[thion]

Everyone will be recommending their hosting – for example, I’m happy with WHB on which I’m running three WP and one bbPress, not mentioning a MediaWiki script.

hi,

for the wp-config.php file in wordpress, it is:

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.website.org’);

or

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘website.org’);

?

thanks

Fred

You take all that code that howtogeek pasted and put it into a file called “replacebbmail.php” or something. To make php code into a bbPress plugin, it needs to have a header. The header needs to look something like this (change the values to something meaningful to you):

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Swift Mailer

Plugin URI: http://www.example.com/ (doesn't really matter)

Description: Replace bb_mail with Swift Mailer

Author: You

Author URI: http://www.example.com/

Version: 0.1

*/

 

Then, paste the code that howtogeek showed at the end of that file. In the end, it will look something like this.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Swift Mailer

Plugin URI: http://www.example.com/ (doesn't really matter)

Description: Replace bb_mail with Swift Mailer

Author: You

Author URI: http://www.example.com/

Version: 0.1

*/



if ( !function_exists('bb_mail') ) {

function bb_mail($to, $subject, $content, $headers=''){



require_once('PATH_TO/Swift/lib/Swift.php');

require_once('PATH_TO/Swift/lib/Swift/Connection/Sendmail.php');



$swift =& new Swift(new Swift_Connection_Sendmail("/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs"));

$from = new Swift_Address("noreply@mysite.com","My bbPress Forums");



$message =& new Swift_Message($subject, $content);

if ($swift->send($message, $to, $from)) {return true;}

else{ echo "Message failed to send to ".$to." from ".$from;}

$swift->disconnect();

}

}

?>

 

The name of the file does not matter really. Save that new file in bb-plugins. Now activate your new plugin in the admin section of your bbPress site.

You will need to configure it before activating it to make sure it works (setting up the path to swift mailer and setting the auth stuff if you need to.)

“Cheap, fast, good. Pick any two.”

I have no specific recommendations, but so long as the host supports the minimum requirements, just ask about SMTP auth and then shop by price.

[chrissydunno]

thanks guys .. but how do you ‘make howtogeek’s code into a plugin’

where does his code go? registration-settings.php? how?

i can install swiftmailer of course, just not sure what else needs to change in current bbpress configurations

[bh]

I just did the installation, and things went quite smoothly.

Just one issue so far…

If you log into wordpress, you are logged into bbpress. Great!

But, if you log into wordress, you are not logged into bbpress. Not great.

I made sure the settings were correct, but I could not find a reference to secure_auth_salt in WordPress.

Also, how would one go about creating a single login for both sites that isn’t either wordpress or bbpress specific?

Lastly, is there any type of theme integration, or any tips on creating a unified design?

BBpress 1.0 alpha 1

Wordpress 2.6.1 beta 2

[reiswaffel2000]

Hi,

Im trying to integrate bbPress 0.9.0.2 into my existing Login-System.

The Problem is, that I use sessions instead of cookies to send the user’s information from one page to another.

I want to be logged into bbPress when logging into the main Page of main website (not bbPress ) via session.. Is this Possible? If yes, could anybody please help me?

I’m trying to find a way to solve this problem for days..

Greetings from Germany,

if you insist on WP 2.6 support right now, try the 1.0 alpha

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-10-alpha

[_ck_]

bb-ratings has this problem:

https://plugins-svn.bbpress.org/bb-ratings/tags/0.8.5/bb-ratings.php

as you can see on/around line 205

[_ck_]

So far the biggest issue I have found with plugins that will make them incompatible with bbPress 1.0 (including the current alpha) is the direct access of topicmeta for either topics or bbpress options (topic #0).

To find plugins that do this, simply do a text search on them for the exact string “->topicmeta” (without quotes). Just to be on the safe side you can also try “-> topicmeta” with a space but I think that will be rare or impossible.

So far I have found and fixed a couple of mine, and I am currently working to upgrade bb-topic-views.

Let me know if you find others.

[thion]

I agree with _ck_ – the point behind bbPress is to make the easiest and simplest forum script ever – personaly, I see no need for members list, really. It’s not very useful on huge forums like WordPress support, and there’s no point for that on small forums where everyone know each other.

[extrakun]

Hi, I am using WP 2.6 and I am eagerly waiting to use bbpress with it. Any ETA?

[lstelie]

Thanks !!

[csseur3]

And I think you are missing the people who will say “oh, we need a plugin for just that! I can’t imagine the others! “

I have already twenty plugins activated, some of which, as memberlist, which does not change of code (or very little) and they can be integrated safely by default.

In place of a plugin, a checkbox in the options natives would be better, no?

As WordPress 2.7 perhaps we should integrate the most simple and the most popular plugins by default, no?

I thought about it to ensure the development of bbPress and enable it to compete with others. And if there is more interested users = more visitors for the sites of the plugins creators on their “donate” link lol: p

Please, think at the question^ ^ or create a “plugin integration poll” :p

Bug fixes are good. New features, too.

[flywitness]

i’m new to all this wordpress stuff so forgive me if this is too hackish.

i installed wp2.6 and bbp1 alpha. they almost integrate. i had a problem getting the admin link to work when i had logged in via wordpress (no problem logging in via bbpress). on investigation i discovered wp login was setting cookies only for itself, whereas bbpress was setting cookies for itself and wordpress.

my solution tells wordpress to be as polite as bbpress:

insert the following into wp-config.php replacing {bbpath} with your bbpath:

define(‘BB_ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/{bbpath}/bb-admin/’);

define(‘BB_PLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH’, /{bbpath}/bb-plugins/’);

define(‘BB_MYPLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/{bbpath}/my-plugins/’);

open wp-includes/pluggable.php and find where the cookies are set – these lines:

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, PLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, $secure);

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, $secure);

insert the following immediatley after:

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, BB_ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, $secure);

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, BB_PLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, $secure);

setcookie($auth_cookie_name, $auth_cookie, $expire, BB_MYPLUGINS_COOKIE_PATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, $secure);

now wordpress will set the same cookies as bbpress thus allowing full access averywhere.

like i say, i’m fairly new to this so please correct me if i’m wrong or if this approach has security implications.

[_ck_]

It really is that simple – just make HowToGeek’s code into a plugin and install swiftmailer:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/trick-to-fix-some-email-problems-with-08x-plugins-on-09x#post-15776

That reminds me to fix some of my plugins so they use bb_mail() instead of mail() directly.

Private Forums has issues. I am uncertain if he is maintaining it anymore. Try my Hidden Forums instead.

[Max]

I’m using Private Forums by Aditya Naik https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/private-forums/

If I deactivate the plugin, the listing on front page doesn’t change.

[thion]

Sweet Spirits! Now that’s the power of bbPress!

[playwithsticks]

IT IS WORKING!!!!! Thanks for all your help!

[Krystian]

Well, like everybody said, you have done a great site. I have couple of days trying to show the WP recent posts list on bbPress and I haven’t done it. I would like a clue from the experts. Thanks.

GOD bless…

Krystian

[Krystian]

ok, this plugin doesnt work with bbpress 0.9.0.2

if somebody know how to show the WP recent posts on BBPress please let me know.

thanks

Krystian

I don’t know about a complete solution, but I’ve been able to get this one working.

Email Authentication Issue

If it becomes a large enough issue, I imagine someone will create a plugin for it. Until then, this is a work around.

Integrating something like this does not affect WordPress integration as far as I know. It’s just the email function. I imagine WordPress would have the same issue sending out emails unless you use a plugin like this there as well.

[chrissydunno]

has anyone seen a complete solution for this issue? many hosts do not allow php mail() function because it doesn’t support smtp authentication

i’ve seen several posts about swiftmailer, phpmailer alternatives, but none offer a step by step instructions?

interested in modifying files only from the latest verion bbpress-0.9.0.2.zip

also, are any of these solutions integrated with wordpress? or when you use them you lose the bbpress user = wp user integration?

any kind of complete solution would be appreciated by many
