Note the names of the settings in bbPress and WordPress is slightly different. Also, never, ever, edit bb-settings.php, what you want is bb-config.php on the bbpress side and wp-config.php on the WordPress side.

Follow ALL the steps here and you’ll get cookie integration in just a few minutes:

Note step #8 is where you edit wp-config.php, the rest are for bb-config.php

Similar posts have been made about this subject, and I’ve read the documentation, but no matter what I do I can’t get the cookies to work. I’m sure you hate working with newbies like me because we’re always like, “gah, i can’t get anything to work” but, please, I don’t want to keep tweaking it because I don’t want to mess anything up… One solution here at this forum says to go into the wp_settings.php file and change something… do things like that have be to done, or is there an easier way? By the way, I did actually do that… I went into the wp_settings and changed that cookie_domain line from false to ‘.myurl.com’, if you know what I’m talking about… well, that tweak didn’t work for me either.

I just want to be able to log into my blog, then go to my forum and still be logged in. Or log into my forum and go to my blog and still be logged in, then also be able to successfully log out from either location.

I put

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

in my wp config and it is also in my bb press config.

Now, some posts here say that for the cookie_domain, you have to actually put your domain, like:

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.myurl.com’);

is this true?

If someone has the time and successfully has cookies working properly between their wordpress blog and bbpress forum, could you help me out?

I’ve stayed up many nights trying to get this to work just right… it’s sad Whats weird is, when I first did the integration it worked BUT I couldn’t log out, so since then I’ve been changing things to fix that, but now, I’m back to square one. I can log into my forum. then, I can log into blog, and I can log out of both with the same username and password, but again, if I log into one and go to the other, I’m not logged in.

I’ve just seen a few different posts and all the posts recommend doing different things. Then the actual documentation of course just says to use the built in integration feature in bbpress, which I used. Since there are so many different posts offering different solutions, can any one give me a step by step fix for this?

For what it’s worth, I think bbPress is a great piece of kit, and I send out a big thanks to the developers and members of this forum

It’s just outright rude to complain about bbPress – it’s completely free for pete’s sake! If you haven’t got the guts or the knowledge to work with it (and reap the rewards I assure you!), go use another forum!

[811536]

I’ve been looking for forum software that meets my needs, and it looks like bbPress is going to be it. One small piece I’m not sure of yet: is it possible through a plugin, or CSS, or something, to support threaded comments? The example sites I’ve looked at so far have all comments at the left margin, and I prefer nested indents to keep track of threads.

There are a couple different plugin ideas in this thread:

BTW – the site is the same, no matter which URL you use (http or https) – it’s just secured with SSL over https. If there is aa SSL certificate for the domain, then the site will still work over https. If there isn’t a certificate, the user will get a security warning about a missing or mismatched certificate.

[chrishajer]

You might have https hard coded in something. Or, if you start with an https URL, your links are always https also. Search the source of your files for https and if it’s not there, then just be sure to use http to link to your website and forum. Users won’t normally use https unless they click on a link from somewhere.

If you’re bothered by it, you could always create a rewrite rule in .htaccess to direct any https traffic to http.

Is there a way to have bbpress automatically create a new discussion every time a WordPress post is published. Basically – I post to my WP blog and a related bbPress topic is created where people can discuss the WP post?

Just wondering if it can be done and if so how hard is it to implement?

[811038]

Thanks to exists !!!

)’m an spanish developper but ) have a “little” problem:

I’ve installed the bbPress forum in my web but when my users sends some comment, normally they insert some link or url and I would like this link don’t open in the same IE page, ) explain: I would insert in my html script the modified tag “target = ‘_blank’ ” and when someone click on, they will open a new IE page. Could you tell me where’s the script who controls this?

thank you again.

Shouldn’t be too hard to copy, perhaps I” take a look at it IF I can take a brake from WoW this weekend .

I’ll make a green version (bbPress like) too then…

btw I love you theme, can we download it somewhere?

[Null]

Since I have no idea where else to put it, I’ll just do it here.

My suggestions:

1) All functionality of bbPress (duh)…

2) 1 (optional) core myplugins folder. Plugins in this folder are accesable for all forum owners/admins. This way we don’t have to upload all plugings for each new forum that is created for a new person…

3) 1(optional) core template folder. Like 2, but then with themes …

Ok, WordPress and TalkPress are two different projects, and bbPress is third. Send these $250 to my PayPal account and you will get all plugins from my TO DO list (visible on freebies section on my weird blog) till the end of this week – I promise!

If someone is doing something for free, then he is doing this in his free time. You don’t have free time all the time, right? More developers – more free time – faster development. You got the point, right?

[gio500000]

I’m a newbie to the bbpress framework. Is there a function in bbpress that can call each forum and show the most recent topics for each one? Any help on how to getting started is appreciated. If you could provide some code to get started I feel confident to take it from there. I’m sure this layout isn’t for everyone but its a refreshing social-like layout that others may like.

Thanks,

Gio

Do i need to use Mu WordPress 1.5.1 to get Session integration to fully work with bbpress? I tried it with MUWP 2.6 and it seemed as though the cookies wouldn’t cross over. Thanks for the help! I will get to trying this soon if no one has given me the thumbs down..

@_ck_: Sorry, English is not my native language, and I don’t know what is mean “full-time employment” and “financial security to back bbPress into the foreseeable future”. But programming is my job. I’m not using forum software for my personal website, but planning for late 2009 or 2010. Yes, I have so much time.

@Thion: Yes, of course. But WordPress(.com) and (probably in the future with TalkPress) bbpress are not hobbies. Red Hat Linux too. Thank Automattic for free WordPress – it’s really excellent.

Thanks all for the answers! Missing too.

IRC channel is at #bbpress on Freenode

TalkPress will be hosted forums just like WordPress.com does hosted blogs. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/talkpress

[RossB]

Thanks, guys. Have done as recommended and changed to http://

This is weird though: Chris’s link to the https:// site, which I’ve now replaced with an http:// one, still opens! How could this be, that it’s still floating around out there when I’ve replaced it?

I’ve cleared my cache in case the link was bringing up the cached site, but the link still works. What am I not getting here?

[Brent]

That would be a nice plugin or feature for bbPress. Wink wink…

[csseur3]

And me, I would like to say “thank you!” at the developers! :p

Indeed, I myself separate of phpBB for bbpress 1.0, a forum for ~ 100 members. I think that even if bbpress is less natively provided, he went on good bases with excellent management of urls and rss excellent! Even if it takes a twenty plugin to find features like on other forums, well bbpress seems better already!

I’m just frustrated to not find IRC channel and there have not an integration process native of the best plugins: p (perhaps should organize competitions, is not it?). therefore it lacks a bit of “fun” lol. But bbPress is already super:)

we want the fun :p

[csseur3]

what is TalkPress?

[chrishajer]

I see it now, thanks.

I think this is how they do it on vBulletin:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=65152

I haven’t seen anything like that yet for bbPress.

[thion]

In bbPress there’s a function “<?php bb_location(); ?>” – can this be used to create something like this:

if ( current page is front page only ) :

echo "something";

endif;

I need to display welcoming box only on my front page, but I don’t really understand what this how to use bb_location() for this (if this is possible at all)
