nolageek,

In WPMU, did you put the bbpress-integration.php in the “mu-plugins” directory or the “plugins” directory?

I want only the site admin to be able to activate the “bbpress Integration” plugin, but it shows up for all users giving them an option to activate the plugin. That’s not good.

On the bbPress side, I found that the wordpress-integration is not necessary (I’ve asked about this, but no replies so far), and display name plugin requires some code changes to the BBPress code for it to work properly. It causes permission problems, and I had to dig around the forum where it shows you which code to change.. In retrospect, it probably wasn’t worth the trouble. (Gurus, please correct me if I am wrong, as I am new to BBpress)

If you want me to look for that thread again, let me know.

To get single sign-on working properly, you need to make code changes on the bbPress side to bb_cookie() and bb_logout() in pluggable.php along with the config changes I mentioned (which you’ve done already).

function bb_cookie( $name, $value, $expires = 0 ) {

if ( bb_get_option( 'cookiedomain' ) ){

setcookie( $name, $value, $expires, bb_get_option( 'cookiepath' ), bb_get_option( 'cookiedomain' ) );

}else{

setcookie( $name, $value, $expires, bb_get_option( 'cookiepath' ) );

}

}



function bb_login($login, $password) {

if ( $user = bb_check_login( $login, $password ) ) {

bb_cookie( bb_get_option( 'usercookie' ), $user->user_login );

bb_cookie( bb_get_option( 'passcookie' ), md5( $user->user_pass ) );

do_action('bb_user_login', (int) $user->ID );

}

return $user;

}

I hope this helps, and please let me know how it works out.

I am really looking forward to the new release. Keep up the good work!

There are also changes to the way theme names and paths are stored (ie. core#, user#) though I suspect this won’t affect many plugin developers. I’ve already patched my plugins to deal with that.

I’m not able to get this working in WPMU/bbpress:

Using newest versions of both (fresh install 3 days ago)

Site: http://geekdc.com

bbpress: http://geekdc.com/forum

bbpress config.php :

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';  // WordPress table prefix.  Example: 'wp_';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://geekdc.com';  // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: 'http://example.com'

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://geekdc.com';  // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: 'http://example.com'



//if ( isset( $bb->wp_table_prefix ) ){

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->cookiedomain = '.geekdc.com';

$bb->path='/forum/';

//}

/* Stop editing */

Stock WPMU wp-config.php

Using the following plugins on WPMU:

bbpress-integration.php

https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/bbpress-integration.0.74.zip

Using the following plugins on bbpress:

wordpress-integration

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wordpress-integration/

display name

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/

Is there anything else I need to do?

When I first log in to WPMU I get the following cookies:

geekdc.com wordpress_test_cookie (content:’ WP+Cookie+check’)

geekdc.com wordpressuser (content username)

geekdc.com wordpresspass (content: hash)

I go to the forum, and I’m not logged in.

I log into bbpress and I get two more cookies, exactly the same execept for the expiration dates. The WPMU expires at the end of session. The wordpress expires in one week. I do not get another wordpress_test_cookie.

What version bbPress are you using? Looks like mismatched quotes are causing a problem inserting this post into your database. I inserted that text into a post on my installation and it is inserted fine. Of course, I might be missing some of what you tried to insert before it erred out.

This is what I posted:

Internet. I've taken to not answering my phone lately, and I like it. And Eh@ the laptop-- it's nice to have, but I don't need it. The internet tho, is a lifeline How would you get on the internet without your laptop?

Was there something before “Internet”? Can you post a link to a plain text file that contains the whole text of the post? Maybe some characters in there are causing this problem.

Yes, you need a feed reader. IE7 has one built in, Firefox does too, and you can add RSS feeds to a Google personalized homepage (which is what I took a screenshot of.)

Autodiscovery works fine for your site. Here’s your latest posts feed: http://www.hooligans-gaming.net/forums/rss.php

Google Reader is a feed reader as well. Try viewing your feed there.

Really, I can’t find any place it’s NOT working:

There is no plugin for Akismet – it’s already included with bbPress. All you need to do is add your Akismet key to your config.php to use it That’s all.

I think this will be changing in the future, but for current releases, it’s built in.

[chrishajer]

Works fine for me with Firefox and my Google homepage. See this after I added your feed:

No problem at all. Where are you trying to view this feed?

Hi, I’m having an issue on my forum: http://argentinastravel.com/forums/

Basically, when I post a formatted link like ‘link here‘ it gets wiped out and instead bbpress saves ‘link here‘ What could be going on?

Thanks!

[Craig]

Thanks!

That latest discussions plugin is for wordpress… I’ve been talking about the latest discussions view in bbpress that is part of the My Views plugin.

[itissue]

Thanks. Would you need to have WordPress in order to use the Latest Discussions plugin? You have WordPress and bbPress integrated together, and the plugin’s page said that the plugin will generates Latest Discussion list from your bbpress forum into your WordPress. I’m not using WordPress on my forum.

Plugin developers read this!

Oh. I didn’t know there was a Latest Discussions plugin. But it seems to work only up to .8 and I have version .83. I tried the latest version of My Views, but it didn’t include a Latest Discussions file. What bbPress version do you use?

I think my avatars are an okay size. Thanks for joining my forum by the way.

http://www.plus64.net – slowly going through and editing the templates as well as the css.

So tell me what you think of it atm anyway – or while progress is being made.

[howtogeek]

For my site, I’m using the bbpress login as the site-wide login… so when I put a login link on the wordpress side of the site the user would be redirected to the forum every time after login… kinda annoying.

With this new knowledge I should be able to fix it so they are redirected back, even to a non-bbpress page.

[Sam Bauers]

Just letting you know the next release will now be version 0.9 instead of 0.8.4

The sticky announcement has been updated to reflect this.

@ SteveAgl

Potentially there are strings still going into the release now. We will be sure to release a .pot file soon after the release is available.

Use this plugin instead – no editing needed:

How about bbSync?

Hello,

I’m currently in developement of a gaming website over at http://www.hooligans-gaming.net

I’ll be using WordPress along with bbPress to bring out the site to it’s full beauty as soon as time grants it.

I wanted to know if there is a plugin out there or a way I can make it so when I post a news post on the front page that it will also post in a forum I will have created called “News & Updates” to serve as an archive of sorts.

The forum would be locked except for those posts.

Any ideas?

[_ck_]

I should note that mdawaffe has pointed out to me that apparently bbPress would do this previously if the user has referer’s enabled in their browser. But since most “personal firewalls” block referers by default, you can’t count on that behavior and this change will make it always work instead.

0.8.4 will supposedly have this new ability by default…

Hi beaulebens,

I like your site!

Which version of wpmu and bbpress are you running? Which plugins are you using for the integration. (I had to modify some cookie setting code in bbpress to get the single signon working properly: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cookies-subtle-bug-single-sign-on-bbpress-and-wordpress)

BBsync doesn’t work with WPMU, btw.

What other things have you customized? Thanks for sharing!
