Ok. Yes. Any user I create in bbPress shows up in wp_users table.

So that means I completed the checklist.. BUT what am I missing that won’t allow one user login to carry from bbPress to WordPress and vice-versa, so that a user doesn’t have to login twice?

It would not be too difficult to make bbPress look/work like that. Maybe a week of tinkering.

bbPress does indeed need a mass-edit users like wordpress has.

There is a long words/long links plugin for wordpress that someone ported to bbPress. Search for it around here somewhere…

If you create a new user in bbPress the user record should turn up in the wp_users table. That’s the best way to check.

[Sam Bauers]

bbPress is not a competitor to WordPress, it is a complimentary product.

[724613]

sambauers-

I followed your checklist and feel I am doing everything right. I still can’t get it to work. How can I make absolutely sure I’m doing #5 (sharing user tables from WordPress with bbPress) correctly?

1) You are running latest versions of WordPress (2.5.1) and bbPress (0.9.0.2)

2) You have matched SECRET_KEY in wp-config.php with BB_SECRET_KEY in bb-config.php

3) You have matched WordPress “secret” database option with bbPress “secret” database setting

4) You have setup compatible cookie domains and paths in config files (see instructions in bbPress admin)

5) You are successfully sharing user tables from WordPress with bbPress

Themepress seems to be the easiest way. Working under wp 2.5.1 and bb 0.9.0.2. I found it here.

I’m having the same problem! After integrating, I see how the “test user” I created shows up in both admin consoles. However, whether I login to wordpress or bbpress first, the login does not carry over to the other when navigating, which forces me to login twice. I followed all the steps, which also inlcuded adding the following to the wp-config.php file…

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘*******’);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’);

The only thing that comes to mind is a “minor error” that I received after walking through the “successful install” of bbPress…

Duplicate key name ‘user_nicename’

>>> User tables will already exist when performing a database integrated installation.

I’m wondering if this is the problem. If so, I’m not sure how to fix it. Can someone help?

[chrishajer]

You can install this with a free standing WordPress installation. Instructions are here.

[chrishajer]

mdawaffe: that has no effect. I logged out of this chrishajer account, then logged in with a new account from today, hajii. I tried to change the password since it is the default emailed one. I get the error about the user being unable to be found when I try to access the profile page. (Screenshot above.)

It might be new accounts: that hajii account is from today. And it appears to happen only on member accounts, so you might need to create member account and see if you experience the same thing.

The only people who can fix the problem won’t be able to see it, as moderator or keymaster.

There you go.

This link appears to work for me:

Can you take a screenshot of the error you are seeing, put it online somewhere (imageshack or photobucket) and post a link to it here? Thanks.

Hi there,

I hope I’m in the right category here. I have a problem here on bbpress.org. When I look at my profile, I get an error message, telling me that I don’t exist ;(

How come?

[chrishajer]

I think the reason it was correct sometimes would be due to the content of the password. bbPress originally (or a while ago anyway, pre-0.9*) used a 6 character alpha-numeric password. Now, it uses something more complex, and depending on what characters are in the password, maybe some certain characters get dropped in that plugin. If you post a link to the plugin you’re using, I can look at it and see if this is likely. You could also contact the plugin author and see if they have any idea.

On the special characters in the password email. I suspect the message is just sent as plain text, but those are html entities. I didn’t look too hard at it. Maybe you could just put the è in the text of the message and hope the email client can handle it.

[chrishajer]

It’s great that you have shell access. You can backup all the files with something like rsync, and you can use a shell script to backup the database tables you want. Since there are no wildcards in mysqldump, you will need to explicitly name all the tables in your installation; just separate them with spaces.

You can put something like this into a bash script and run it daily (or whenever) from cron:

mysqldump --add-drop-table -h host -u user -p password dbname 

( bb_forums 

bb_meta 

bb_posts 

bb_tagged 

bb_tags 

bb_terms 

bb_term_relationships 

bb_term_taxonomy 

bb_topics 

bb_topicmeta 

bb_users 

bb_usermeta ) | bzip2 -c | bbpress.bak.sql.bz2

 

You would have to consider putting the password into the script and hiding that from prying eyes. Alternatively, you could create a user with limited privileges and no password, and use that in the backup script.

You should also verify the table prefix, and that those are all your bbPress tables. I think there are different tables for different bbPress versions.

Good luck.

That line is supposed to allow you to use WordPress functions from inside a bbPress page. It looks like you just got the path to it wrong. Does the file wp-blog-header.php actually exist one directory level up from where the bb-config.php is right now?

[724719]

note:-

I just removed the “require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);” line from bb-config.php.

and all seems to be working fine, i can login as admin on both WP-admin and bbpress .

So what is that line supposed to do, how is that supposed to intergrate the two together i didnt and still dont understand it.

[724719]

Ok, first of all I should note that this is the second time iv installed this and i still got the “minor error: duplicate user_nicename” message or something like that.

But this time it worked well and I logged in straight away as the admin. But when I went to login to the WP-Admin, I couldnt log back in the bbPress as admin and as any username.

So what I then did was clear all the cookies, then it allowed me to log back in as admin in bbPress, so now im in. But… I click on the “Admin” link at the top to go to the settings and all that stuff. and its spits out this:-

Warning: require_once(../wp-blog-header.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/picbico/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 2

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/picbico/public_html/forum/bb-config.php on line 2

I also might need to mention that I tried to ‘intergrate’ the wordpress functions with it by applying this line to the bb-config.php file : require_once(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);

thanks for any help let alone all the work you guys have put into this forum. i appreciate it

I have successfully merged bbpress with my website and it works fine sharing user data and logging in/out… very almost.

When a user first moves to the forum it shows them as not logged in, though if they click a forum link or refresh the page they are then shown as logged in.

I only modified pluggable.php a little to make the cookie easier to handle and I’ve tried adding a function (below) in index.php and template header. Very crude , checking a cookie is set and calling the login function, but it’s just a test:

if (isset($_COOKIE[bbpres...]) &&  isset($_COOKIE[IHuser...]) && isset($_COOKIE[IHpass...])){

$login = decode($_COOKIE[IHuser...]);

$password = decode($_COOKIE[IHpass...]);

bb_login($login, $password, $remember = false);

}

Really I’m looking for where bbpress first checks to see if a user is logged in and sets headers but so far I’m out of luck. Where do I need to put my function so a user will be shown as logged in as soon as the navigate to the forum?

P.S. I will build a more solid function so a users password isn’t in a cookie, like I say – just a test!

Chris, thanks a lot. Now the forum page pulls and no longer gives an error message, but all my formatting and custom layout is gone. And the links to forums don’t work. It takes me to the bbpress default telling me that forum is not found.

[Caesar]

Thank you so, so much, sepidol! You’ve made my day! I’ve spent hours trawling the bbPress and WPMU forums for this…

For what it’s worth, my problem was the SECRET_SALT. I’d done everything else right, but each time I logged into either bb or wp I was logged out of the other ’cause of the cookie value being encrypted differently… I thought the salt may have been the problem, but I wasn’t quite sure what it did. This is the first thread I’ve found which even mentions it!

Thanks…

Caesar

fiat, to do what you’re talking about, you can load WordPress inside bbPress, to have access to WordPress functions inside bbPress. It’s not recommended, but here it is:
