I installed the bbpress today but whenever i try to login, i receive a blank screen and i cant login. Please help me. my forum site is http://www.pimpsymbian.com/pimpforum

i have latest WP and latest bbPress. Looks like integration results in every bb registrant being automatically given ADMIN login role in WP. Role mapping doesn’t seem to make a difference. Is there really no solution to this other than recommended downgrading?

[chrishajer]

bbPress 0.9 is not compatible with WordPress 2.6. Read the first sticky thread for more information. If you cannot wait for a 1.0 release of bbPress, you might try the alpha release that was just packaged up, but I wouldn’t try it on a production site that you care about.

I did find a way to make it work. First install bbPress without WordPress integration. Next go to the bbPress settings and configure the WordPress Integration. Where it asks for the AUTH_SALT, copy the SECRET_SALT. Finally update bb-config.php with your wpmu specific defines.

[parthatel]

I had my WordPress installed by fantastico automatically. Therefore, the AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, and LOGGED_IN_KEY were all different. When bbPress asked me for the SECRET_KEY, I put in the key for AUTH_KEY. Now, integration didn’t work. So…I removed all bbPress tables from the database and changed all the KEYS so that they are the same. I tried installed bbPress again and it still didn’t integrate users. The installation of bbPress says that integration works, but in reality, it didn’t. What do I do now?

*By the way, my wordpress is running fine and I’m not willing to unistall it or delete its database.

[ejacobsh]

I’m having the same problem and haven’t been able to work around it. bbPress did successfully install without WordPress integration. So, now I’m trying to do the integration manually.

[flywitness]

got it working by doing this

Hello,

Bye

[843008]

and how to fix it? is there any patch, please?

[mizzmuzikluvr]

Well, I was having issues with my WordPress admin, so, like a clever person I created a new admin name and deleted the old. Well. Turns out that in doing so I’ve deleted my keymaster in BBPress.

I’ve seen some posts that suggest editing the tables. I’ve tried adding the code

$bb->new_keymaster = ‘AdminTwo’;

to my bb-config.php and then running install.php. But, nothing happens. So, if I must edit my database, can someone please let me know in more deatail how? (Ie: Which tables, which values, etc.)

Thank You so Much!

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

or

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

I tried both of these, in addition to define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

But still no luck. Any ideas?

/edit Just another bit of info, bbpress is in /bbpress, and wordpress is in /wordpress. I don’t know if it makes a difference, but I thought I would mention it.

[powellmap]

Do you have to edit your bb-config file before uploading and visiting the url? I followed the steps and didnt see that listed on the “Quick Instructions” page.

I get the following error:

Warning: main(/homepages/0/d87087146/htdocs/bbpress/bb-includes/wp-functions.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/0/d87087146/htdocs/bbpress/bb-settings.php on line 72

Hi!

This is just a comment just in case it helps because I had to remove again bbpress.

I tried to integrate 1.0 Alpha with Wp following the bbpress installer and after installation finished, admin login was all messed.

First, bbpress changed my wp admin password. I re-set the old password from bbpress control panel and everything seemed to work fine again but next, whenever I tried to login in wordpress I had to log-out from bbpress.

Hope developers consider a better bbpress-wp integration for 1.0 final

[bh]

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.

[csseur3]

hi,

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

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

or

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

?

thanks

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.)

[chrishajer]

“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

[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.

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.
