Try this.

Look at the cookie you have from you mu site. (In firefox: preferences -> privacy -> cookies -> view cookies then find the cookie in question. I’m sure there’s a way to do this in other browsers as well.)

I bet it looks like this:

Name: wordpressuser

Domain: example.com // or is it .example.com ?

Path: /

Send For: Any type of connection

And one for the password too:

Name: wordpresspass

Domain: example.com

Path: /

Send For: Any type of connection

If that is the case, in bbPress’ config.php set the following.

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘example.com’; // or .example.com if there was a . above

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

If I’m wrong in my guess about the structure of yrour cookies, please post what they are (name, domain, path, send for only. Don’t post the content of the cookie).

Hi,

I just noticed on the WordPress Development page

(http://wordpress.org/development/2006/10/mu-and-bbpress/)

That bbPress has RSS Feeds. How do I call them?

What would be prefect is something like the Del.icio.us site, where you can customize the output.

TIA

A question for Atsutane or anyone else for that matter in the know!

You talked about the design being easy if a person loads the WordPress into BBPress. But what if I do the opposite, load BBPress into WordPress? Which is what I have done.

Is it easier or BETTER to integrate WordPress into BBPress, or BBPress into WordPress, both from a programming perspective and from a website design perspective?

[Andrea Rennick]

huh. Still spews erros:

“bbPress database error: [Table ‘bbpress.wp_users’ doesn’t exist]”

So it’s still looking in the bbpress db instead of the MU one.

Fiddling with “// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave the rest as it is.” doesn’t change things either.

If I comment out the define custom user table, it works without errors, but still doesn’t share user info. Weird.

Any hints or where I’ve overlooked thing? Something else to edit?

Also, I should mention I’m doing this on a local server.

[mozey]

I got this from the documentation,

“If you’ve installed bbPress into a subdirectory of your WordPress installation, define $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl as your WordPress blog address and WordPress address, respectively. Both sites will now share the same cookies so that when you’re logged into one, you’re logged into the other.”

so why would’nt this work for me? probably something simple that i’m overlooking. But i do have those two variables set (in my case, they are both, http://exampledomain.com), and nothing!, i have to login to both systems.

They do share the same usertable, just not the session cookies.

[Andrea Rennick]

DUDE, that was it exactly – I was missing this part:

// You just told bbPress to use that mu database to look for users, but it doesn’t yet know the name of the *table* to use.

// Change ‘wp_users’ and ‘wp_usermeta’ to be the table names of mu’s user tables.

MU also has a wp_users table, which so totally didn’t work when you point it there. Will try the above and report back.

(the plugin didn’t help btw, at least not originally)

Looks very good. I like the sports theme and especially the way you executed it in a simple but memorable manner. This approach perfectly matches the “simple but elegant” slogan of bbPress.

I am not as good as you are at coming up with a nice looking theme (plus mine is a business site, so slightly more serious topic), so I just modified the standard header and colors a bit. But I still like my new bbPress forum much better than my former YABB forum system. YABB was somewhat slow for me, but the biggest problem was that it was nearly ignored by every search engine. On the other hand, my WordPress blog is very well indexed by the main search engines and I am hoping that bbPress will have the same results.

Quick Version:

Is it feasible internally, to have a user post a comment to the forum and register at the same time?

Detail:

Something that’s been mentioned already by a regular reader of my blog is that he’d be far less inclined to leave a comment anywhere that he had to register first.

The BBPress registration process is mind-numbingly simple, but users first have to get over the two-step-hurdle of registering and then leaving their comment.

So it strikes me that, since the registration details are the same as you have to provide when blog-commenting some middle ground might be beneficial.

I imagine it working such that when the user submits their comment (topic) their confirmation message is along the lines of:

Thanks! We’ve sent you an email to confirm your address. Please return here using the link we’ve sent you to make your comment visible.

From here it becomes a small step to replace the wordpress comment mechanism with bbpress, which is somehting I’d like to do.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

In bbPress, where and how are you loading wpmu?

Are your mu blogs set up like someblog.example.com or example.com/someblog?

[mozey]

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘wp_users’);

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, ‘wp_usermeta’);

this helped me in getting bb press to usre the same users of wp. Now, i need them to share the same session. (test user can log into wpmu account, and not having to loginto bbpress to post to forums.)

Actually, is there any downside into making bb use wp’s users like that?

[travelsuperlink]

mdswaffe,

many thanks. you guys did an awesome job. I wish more and more people join the bbpress. :

I’m running the latest bbpress at http://yammy.sourceforge.net/forums. After registration, users dont receive their passwords by email.

Perhaps sourceforge does not support this. Can I configure bbpress to display the password on screen?

Thanks

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

The DB has not changed. You shouldn’t even have to run the install script.

[travelsuperlink]

so mdawaffe, all the database structure are keeping same as the version I download? I just need to follow up the normal installation procedure?

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

There’s no good way to do this right now. We can make this pluggable in a future version of bbPress.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

The easy way is to find get_thread( $topic_id, $page ) in /topic.php and change it to get_thread( $topic_id, $page, true ).

The better way is to use a plugin so that you aren’t modifying any core files. (This is untested)

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Reverse Post Order

Plugin URI: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/76

*/

function reverse_post_order() {

global $topic_id, $page, $topic, $bb_current_user;

global $bb_db_override, $posts, $forum, $tags, $user_tags, $other_tags, $list_start;

$bb_db_override = true;

$posts = get_thread( $topic_id, $page );

$forum = get_forum ( $topic->forum_id );

$tags = get_topic_tags ( $topic_id );

if ( $bb_current_user && $tags ) {

$user_tags = get_user_tags ( $topic_id, $bb_current_user->ID );

$other_tags = get_other_tags ( $topic_id, $bb_current_user->ID );

} elseif ( is_array($tags) ) {

$user_tags = false;

$other_tags = get_public_tags( $topic_id );

} else {

$user_tags = false;

$other_tags = false;

}

$list_start = ($page – 1) * bb_get_option(‘page_topics’) + 1;

post_author_cache($posts);

}

add_action( ‘bb_topic.php_pre_db’, ‘reverse_post_order’ );

?>

$bb->passcookie = PASS_COOKIE

Might work if you load wp before you load bb.

Is your bbPress URL a sudbirectory of your mu URL? If so, you should be able to use the $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl variables.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

If you have any blocked users, you should run upgrade_160() found in bb-admin/upgrade.php. Otherwise, you shouldn’t have to worry about anything.

Just overwrite the files and you should be good to go (backup first!)

Hello,

In case this can help, French files are here :

I’ve just upgraded bbpress and am running into this error when I use the WP function get_footer():

Warning: extract() [function.extract]: First argument should be an array in /home/drills/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2139

The forum in question is located at http://43drills.com/forum/

The error can be found just above the gigantic RSS button in the footer in the above link.

[Atsutane]

Well i have try many time and i still cannot make bbpress play nice with UTW. Anyone know a trick on how to use UTW and bbpress at the same time?

[mozey]

cmcraft, thank you, exactly what i’m looking for.

[kannued]

I figured it out!!!! All of the many problems!

1) The no input file specified occurred because I was not calling for install.php in the bb-admin directory. I was calling for it in the bbpress root directory

2) I downloaded another version of bbpress and uploaded it to my server. Transfer took a lot longer than before which makes me think that the file got corrupted when originally downloading.

3)Created an htaccess file for bbpress root, and created my-plugin directory with the two plugins

4) Read carefully

[lstelie]

Hello,

Another thing.

It would be great to have bbpress CSS (DIV and others) named bb_mydivname, because curently the naming sheme interferes a lot with WP one (for example both can have a <div="header"> )

[lstelie]

Hello,

I have a problem with a non engluish install.

The lang variable is WPLANG both in WP and bbpress (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/6?replies=29) so when the WP integration settings are set on in config.php, bbpress tranlastion doesn’t work anymore.

Any tip ?
