Funny that my settings are screwy and there are better ways at accomplishing single sign on?

Or funny: “yes, this is the closest that I am able to get to single sign-on, and I get the same results”?

If it’s the first case, then please enlighten me.

If it’s the second case, then this link might help you.

That used to happen here depending on which login box you used. I think it still does. You get a message in Firefox along the lines of “This page is redirecting in a way that will never resolve”.

Discussion long ago about this very problem:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/redirect-error-on-login-at-bbpressorg

https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/556

I think since then, I’ve learned second hand that this does not work because referers are blocked by the browser or personal firewall. If referers were enabled, I don’t think it would happen. Maybe that’s why IE acts differently than FF. See this recent discussion:

I have installed bbpress on a Mac OS X 10.4 server, and all seems well with the exception of logging in and out using the Firefox browser. When i enter my login information and press login, the page looks as i it refreshes but does nothing. If i hit register, it says i am already logged in and from that page i can get to the main page of the forums and i am logged in.

When i click log out, it also does not seem to change (still shows my user instead of login box).

At first i thought this was only the browser, however after installing the same release of bbpress on a RHEL5 x64 Linux machine, i did not have this issue, even using the same browser/computer, and other combinations etc to try to get it to happen again.

Anyone seen a problem like this?

This thread is a few weeks old but just wanted to make sure you saw that I made a plugin to do mass deletions:

It’s unlikely to be the bbPress software’s fault.

If you are using a Hotmail or AOL account, they tend to block many independent servers because of configuration requirements.

Try getting a gmail account instead if you use hotmail normally and you’ll find much more of your email showing up.

hi i see that bbpress is the name on the website pig2twig. i am having trouble registering on the website, i have done so 5 times over 3 days but have never received my password. i wondered if anybody could help me please? http://www.pig2twig.co.uk

horrowshow,

I tried your settings, and it’s funny that if you login on either on side, you cannot log out on the other side.

If I login WPMU first, I can only logout through WPMU.

Thanks. i have the same problem!

[chrishajer]

Wonder why it doesn’t error out here with either quote? Can someone please provide the full text of a post entry that causes this problem, BEFORE it’s inserted, so it can be tested on other platforms?

I’ve added information about the new conventions for storing active plugins and the active theme to the notes.

Hello,

I am running a gaming community’s web site. Currently I just have bbPress forums up there while I build up the rest of the site’s content. What I needed is Private Forums!

I know there is a plugin for Private Forums. However, it just restricts based on the three default groups (Members, Moderators and Admins) … this does not do me any good since I need to give access only to the members of the actual group, not just the forum. Is there anything out there to help me?

[mettled]

Ok, here’s what seems to have fixed the problem for me and maybe for you too, Guru06. Using the normal quotation mark – ‘ – caused the error. When I used the apostrophe version – ’ – there was no error. On a Mac that symbol is shift+option+]. I have no idea why it needs to be that way.

[mettled]

I just got the same error message on my forum as well. Obviously I was entering different copy, but everything else was the same. I’ve posted on my forum before without any problem. I haven’t changed anything that I can recall, so this was totally unexpected. I’m not a coder so any help would be great. My bbPress is version 0.8.3.1.

[horrorshow]

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!

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.
