Glad you fixed it.

edit: you’re going to want to look at this thread to fix the freshness -1 years problem on your forum.

I have successfully integrated WordPress and BBPress (http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/12?replies=25#post-2502) but I am having 1 problem..

When I log in as admin in BBPress, it seems to be logging me in with the ‘admin’ account from WordPress, and not giving it admin privileges on the BBPress system, (ie: i can’t go to /bb-admin to edit anything).

The only thing i can think of is somehow excluding the ‘admin’ account integration when you log into bbpress, something like

if ($user=='admin') { #skip integration }

Or is there something I am missing..?

Thanks,

are you looking to display 2 seperate instances of bbpress? or just multiple main Forums with sub-category forums?

I edited them all to FALSE

now I get!

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/virtual/site122/fst/var/www/html/bbpress/config.php on line 58

!!

What the heck?!

I’ve installed hundreds of php/sql portals and boards before and never had anything like this.

You guys could do a lot worse than just put together a complete php install script where you fill in the fields interactively ..

The amount of time I have to waste with this sort of stuff really affects my software selection. I could have installed PhPBB a hundred times over already.

Line 58 is:

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

[cgavin]

I took the config down because it was publishing the entire file before the function error – ie all my passwords were freely advertised!

Anyway I tried again with a fresh config:

http://www.cjgavin.com/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/virtual/site122/fst/var/www/html/bbpress/config.php on line 53

Better than undefined function.

(line 53) $bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.cjgavin.com’; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

Whats wrong with that??

Lines 52 > 54:

$bb->;wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_;’

$bb->;wp_home = ‘http://www.cjgavin.com’;

$bb->;wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.cjgavin.com’;

[chrishajer]

When I go here:

http://www.cjgavin.com/bbpress/

I get this:

There doesn't seem to be a config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Open up config-sample.php, fill in your details, and save it as config.php.

Did you rename config-sample.php to config.php?

When I try to load config-sample.php directly, I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home/virtual/site122/fst/var/www/html/bbpress/config-sample.php on line 53

Maybe that colon is related to one of the wp_ URL lines (URLs must be quoted.)

Hang in there: you’re close.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: _e() in /home/virtual/site122/fst/var/www/html/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php on line 17

Here’s my config:

I get this error even if I dont comment out the wp integration stuff.

I have no idea why, I have checked to make sure the permissions are correct.

It isnt working and I dont know why – more worrying – I can’t find anyone else who’s experienced this issue.

[chrishajer]

I wonder if the problem with this line:

bb_get_user($bb_post->poster_id)->user_login

is related to this style syntax and could be fixed in a similar manner (if necessary):

What is the best way to secure a forum so that only individual users can view and post to it?

As far as I can tell this is not a native feature of bbpress, so I would probably have to go about it a different way.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you.

[chrishajer]

I was over at http://trac.bbpress.org/ looking for a way to report a bug of submit a diff. I signed up for the bbdev mailing list, but that username and password does not work for logging in here http://trac.bbpress.org/login

I don’t want to submit a bug here, unless it’s appropriate. Can anyone point me to where I can submit a bug at trac?

Many thanks. (sorry, selected the wrong forum too – accidentally hit enter too quickly)

Not very had to write plugins if you are a coder and look at pluggable.php as it uses a similar structure as WordPress. Right out of the box, bbPress may never work straight away with WP plugins without a core change in code.

[bakedlogdotcom]

I have successfully setup my site to integrate registrations/logins between wordpress on its own DB and domain (blog.bakedlog.com) and bbpress on its own DB and domain (forum.bakedlog.com).

Files:

WP: wp-content/plugins/bbpress-integration.php

BBP: my-plugins/wordpress-integration.php

• I can create a user in wordpress and log into bbpress with it.
• I can create a user in bbpress and log into wordpress with it.(although the default role set for wordpress does not let me write (how do i change this?))

However, I too cannot get cookies to authenticate between the two systems.

I have included the following in bbpress’s config.php:

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

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

I monitored the cookies created on my computer as I logged into each system, and noticed that bbpress was creating the cookie correctly, domain: bakedlog.com, while when I logged into wordpress it would set the domain on the cookie to blog.bakedlog.com.

So the problem is with WordPress..

Looking in WordPress’ wp-settings.php I see:

if ( !defined('USER_COOKIE') )

define('USER_COOKIE', 'wordpressuser');

if ( !defined('PASS_COOKIE') )

define('PASS_COOKIE', 'wordpresspass');

if ( !defined('COOKIEPATH') )

define('COOKIEPATH', $current_site->path );

if ( !defined('SITECOOKIEPATH') )

define('SITECOOKIEPATH', $current_site->path );

if ( !defined('COOKIE_DOMAIN') )

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

So, in WordPress’ wp-config.php I inserted:

// BBPRESS INTEGRATION

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

Clearing my cookies and logging into WordPress, I see the cookie domain is correct and matches my BBPress’.

But, there is still another problem, the cookies set by BBPress appends an md5 hash based on the site url and table prefix to the cookie’s name (ie: wordpressuser_bf17f59023eb22f…..) while WordPress’ cookie name is only: wordpressuser

I looked around in bb-settings.php and found:

define('BBHASH', $bb->wp_siteurl ? md5($bb->wp_siteurl) : md5($bb_table_prefix) );

if ( !isset( $bb->usercookie ) )

$bb->usercookie = ( $bb->wp_table_prefix ? 'wordpressuser_' : 'bb_user_' ) . BBHASH;

if ( !isset( $bb->passcookie ) )

$bb->passcookie = ( $bb->wp_table_prefix ? 'wordpresspass_' : 'bb_pass_' ) . BBHASH;

So, the next step is to define $bb->usercookie and $bb->passcookie in BBPress’ config.php:

// COOKIE SHARING WITH WORDPRESS

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

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';

I cleared my cookies and tested it, VOILA! I can log into either section (bbpress or wordpress) and switch to the other without losing authentication!

==========SOLUTION===========

BBPRESS CONFIG.PHP:

// COOKIE SHARING WITH WORDPRESS

$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser';

$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass';

WORDPRESS WP-CONFIG.PHP:

// COOKIE SHARING WITH BBPRESS

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

==========********===========

Thats it I believe, let me know if it works for you or if you see anything I have done that could crash either program.

Rod,

Right now, the integration with wordpress is strictly login related. The plugins for WordPress currently do not work with bbPress because of the differences in how they work with the system. I have requested the YouTube plugin for bbPress from the author of the Anarchy Media Plugin for WP and I hope this gets out there soon! Plugins don’t take too much to convert over to bbPress, but they still have to be converted to work with the system.

Very nice job so10! Looks great! Start of WP and bbPress theme release!

This forum I am creating for a small indie game (www.toribash.com) and SMF just didnt cut it. Way too difficult to change core code, and to me, make new plugins!

This is a temporary link, seeing I’m not anywhere NEAR finnished. As you can see I am using the emotions plugin, avatar plugin, PM plugin and a few of my own.

Oops! “notification all” – haha

I will download the new version now, with the enhancement on the last poster’s name. Thanks a bunch. Merry Christmas.

@chrishajer:

This Plugin doesn’t care if you’re admin or not. So you should only receive emails on your favorite topics.

Maybe you’ve downloaded the wrong version? There is one, which sends an email on every post!

You had an great Idea! I just put this into it. Now it displays the last posters name in the mail.

Download latest Version here:

[implicated]

Your PHP version is rather old, use this:

if (!function_exists('file_put_contents')) {

function file_put_contents($filename, $content) {

if ($fp = fopen($filename, 'w')) {

$result = fwrite($fp, $content);

fclose($fp);

return $result;

}

else {

return false;

}

}

}

BBPress and WordPress = same creators … so a simple question : why, during the install, would be not possible to have 2 buttons radios with …

Option One : create a new DB users

Option Two : use the actual WP DB users

?!

[drtech]

Yes it’s working now.

[suleiman]

hmmm…I’m having the same problem, where I get the error about the bbpress database not existing. I’m integrating with WPMU instead of regular wordpress but that shouldn’t really cause an issue should it?

Is there a place we can hardcode it to wp_ instead of bb_?
