I fixed it! o/

Remember how the cookies “looked” identical?

Well they weren’t.

The cookies created by bbpress added the hash to the end of the cookie name.

Both Safari and Camino didn’t reveal this, but Flock did. I was using these other browsers as a testing platform because I needed to clear cookies in between each test.

I added:

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';

To my bbpress config to solve the problem. (which I found on one of the links you sent me)

I actually like the idea of the cookie name including the hash. Isn’t this more secure? Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t this make it near impossible for another site to read that cookie?

Thanks for your help Trent!

It will still let different cookies if you don’t have them ‘integrated’ for the login from the config.php. That is why I was leading you towards those articles. I am sure being an WPMU user you are fully aware of working with complex issues and I didn’t want to try and ‘dumb it down’ too much. In terms of the cookies issue, I have had plenty of problems moving things around and changing structures to know that the ‘WordPress Integration’ under the bbPress Documentation is the best when bbPress is in a directory inside WordPress, but not always!

If you let me know how you have it setup and what you have in your wp-config.php and config.php for cookie and integration stuff, I might be able to assist more. I just know that if you already installed bbPress and it is using bb_users versus wp_users, it might be harder to get the cookies working (at least in my experience)..

Thanks for the heads up Trent. Unfortunately those mostly focus integration of user databases etc. Which I have already done.

Perhaps I’ll take a look at how each application is looking for the cookies. There might be a clue in there.

It seems most people have the forum in a sub directory of wp,.. which makes things much easier.

But what I don’t understand is,.. the cookies are IDENTICAL… why doesn’t it work?

[gtim]

Done. I’m glad to help bbPress.

[Trent Adams]

You can define the parameters like the cookie name and domain, so you should be able to do what you want here. There is already functions though that can do things if a user is logged in. For example:

<?php if (bb_current_user_can('write_posts')) : ?>

DO SOMETHING

<?php endif; ?>

This has it so if the user is logged in and can write posts (default member) then do something or put in a piece of code.

Hope that helps.

That would be great if you could do that Atsutane as it allows you to have the ‘working’ code up and the ‘work in progress’ code as well! Just a thought!

Trent

[Trent Adams]

If you could make it public and then post a reply to the following thread and to the internationalize bbPress post that would be great! Thanks for that!

Subforums is the patch by SamBaeurs for sure, yes.

Steven,

I not sure of the ‘exact’ best procedure of combining bbPress and WPMU, but these are some users that have it going:

Simpler integration with WordPress

https://codex.wordpress.org/Ergate/wpmu_bbPress_integration

https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2166&replies=10

It is a little different with WPMU as the table structures are a little different, but those posts seem to most likely have the key. Integrating with normal WP is much easier.

Trent

[chrishajer]

maker, you are correct (I believe) that there is no plugin to upload images although there are plugins to allow images in posts.

Allow images

WordPress user integration

Latest bbPress posts in WordPress

Latest WP post in bbPress

Have fun.

[chrishajer]

You can have two developers (macwise and bbPress core team) working on the same code in different places. I think svn is smart enough to figure it out when you commit and svn up.

[gtim]

I just spent a while translating a .po file that I got from here to Swedish and creating a .mo file from it. You can see the results on forum.rimnytt.se.

Should I make it public, or is there already a Swedish translation or a fresher .po file?

[fel64]

Same thing again, it’s great. Why don’t you make an entry in the plugins DB for it? https://bbpress.org/plugins/add/

[fel64]

If it’s in the Trac and it’s been assigned to someone then yeah they’re probably working on it?

[maker]

macwise,

how did you create your extra forums/subforums?

I’ve done some looking around and found SamBaeurs patch – is this the best way to do this?

[Null]

Hi,

Watching the TRAC, I’m seeing some new drag and drop functions for ordering the forums. Is this true? Cause I was working on a plugin to do this based on my bbmenu plugin. If this is true, I can stop devloping this, so let me know

[maker]

cheers

[Null]

I suggest to SEARCH these forums first, cause your questions are answered many times before. I also suggest to look at the documentation and plugins available on this site

[maker]

so there is no image uploading inherent in bbpress? But there are image plugins?

What can be shared between WP and BB? logins? Can wordpress show latest BB posts?

[Atsutane]

Version 0.5 (2007-03-04):

• Fix display name for bbpress that not integrated with wordpress.
• Add option to set if your wordpress is integrated with bbpress or not.
• Add use Bbpress permalink option

Ok, what I want to do with the cookie is make it so that a someone logged into the forum gets special attention on my site…

So, I need to get this sorted: is the random alphanumeric code at the end of the cookie name (bb_pass_alphanumeric code or bb_user_alphanumeric code) just a per user specific or can I just copy and paste MY cookie’s name as the cookie name?

… I have looked in what I would say is the logical place to put the set cookie bit but then again, i don’t know much about bbpress…

So can someone help me either find how to read the cookie per user or whether it is possible to just use the cookie name that is set for me…

[tseven]

Ok… Let me start off by saying I’m not your “average” user seeking help. I’ve spent the last 2-3 hours combing this forum and trying almost every combination of cookie configurations and tweaking.

My site is setup like this:

domain.com/blog

domain.com/forum

This is what I have thus far:

In my bbpress config.php

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

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->sitecookiepath = '/';

In my wpmu wp-settings.php around line 245

if ( !defined('COOKIEPATH') )

define('COOKIEPATH', '/' );

if ( !defined('SITECOOKIEPATH') )

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', '/' );

if ( !defined('COOKIE_DOMAIN') )

//define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.' . $current_site->domain);

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.domain.com');

Of course I replaced “domain.com” with my actual domain.

The result is I get a total of 4 cookies when I login into both sites.

Both sets are identical except expiration. (I even edited the expiration date with no avail, apparently bbpress is a full year and day off)

the cookie properties look like this:

website			name			path		secure		expires			value

bbpress

.domain.com		wordpresspass		/		no		Mar 03, 2008		long_hash

.domain.com		wordpressuser		/		no		Mar 03, 2008		test



wpmu

.domain.com		wordpresspass		/		no		Mar 04, 2007		long_hash (same as the other)

.domain.com		wordpressuser		/		no		Mar 04, 2007		test

The only difference is the expiration date. As you can see bbpress has an issue with the date.

Perhaps I need sleep, or I don’t understand how the cookies are supposed to work. But I’m beat.. I can’t battle it anymore tonight.

I’m going to go get some sleep. Perhaps I’ll be able to figure it out from a fresh approach.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steven

So, does this eliminate the possibility of keeping your own code under version control? I keep all my stuff in my own svn repository I set up myself on one of my servers. Is anyone aware of a way to share a working copy across two repositories?

Or maybe a better question is this: Does anyone update their site through SVN AND use SVN to back up their own local code? How do you approach this problem?

[macwise]

Thank you. And thanks for making your post one line. That makes my post look ESPECIALLY long…(or maybe it really IS that long).

[spencerp]

If the above stuff worked for you, then all you have to do to update your bbPress installation(s) is, follow same directions to get you to that specific directory, which contains your forums..

START>RUN>CMD>

Type In: plink mydomain.net (make sure there’s a space between the word “plink” and your “domain.net” then hit enter)

Type In: your passphrase (hit enter)

The: ls

The: cd whatever-directory-for-root (example: public_html)

The: ls

The: cd whatever-directory-for-forums

The: ls

Type: svn up (then hit enter)

That should update whatever files in your bbPress forums directory. I use same way for doing my WP blogs too..
