Ok nevermind. I was using ‘localhost’ as the host name. I copy/pasted the mile long hostname from my GoDaddy settings & so far so good

It was just a correction. It’s fair to sell GPL software. If you, the developer, choose a copyleft-like license as the GPL you know what other people can do with your code (and what they can’t.) Basically speaking you put your work in the public domain with the only difference that others can use and distribute your software under the terms and condition of the GPL. If you don’t want other people to make money with your work than you can choose a more restrictive license like the Creative Commons Non-Commercial.

@ kevinjohngallagher… now it works

@ mr_pelle..I’m really sorry that after using bb-load.php into wp I was facing various problems..they are pointed at

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-registration-and-login-via-bbpress

@ kevinjohngallagher… I really appreciate your help that you safe me from using bb-load.php into wp ..thanks,

Now I’m agree with your statement i.e.

Remember, hardcoding is your friend, because YOU control it

@pagal

Hi Pagal,

the code you’ve linked to looks quite identical to both mine and Gautam’s; but to clarify that also only going to work on WordPress files (not bbPress) unless you have Deep Integration enabled and working.

Presuming then that you’re working from wordpress and/or with deeply integrated bbpress this code should help:

if ( !$user_id ) {

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

$user_id = $current_user->ID;

} else {

$user_id = (int) $user_id;

}

if ($user_id != 0)

{

$userdata = get_userdata($user_id);

$pagal_this_is_the_username_you_want = $userdata->user_login;

}

Morning lads,

Sun is shining here, hope you’re all having a great day.

@mr_pelle

I think we’re going in circles a little here; and its a position we’ve all been in and can feel your pain a little.

I see where I might have confused you yesterday.

Including the WordPress loader in the bbPress config file, so that bbPress has access to WordPress functions, is where most (if not all) of the deep integration questions/work/answers have been derived from. It’s a one way system, calling wordpress functions in bbpress. It’s not a two way system (where wordpress can call bbpress functions, and vice versa).

Hardcoding is not a good choice IMHO, because it means you have to update many pages everytime you change your mind just on a single line of code

Not really. You’d have to edit it once in the header in wrodpress and once in the header in bbpress. Being absolutely frank with you, that is the minimum you have to do everytime you make a change to your themes anyway because bbpress and wordpress don’t load the same theme files.

The way to think of bbPress and WordPress is of two separate systems that share login cookies and you can fake each’s themes make look like each other.

It’s a tough nut to get round, espeically with them being built and maintained by the same company (who are usually awesome at this sort of thing), but really, and it pains me to say this, they don’t integrate. You/me/everyone read the front page and assume it’s not [trying not to say the word ‘lie’ here]; and we expect it to be one thing and it’s not. I don’t say that to casue annoyance, i’m just tyring to manage expectations a little.

bbPress and WordPress are two separate systems which can be made to share login cookies.

Wasn’t bbPress born for this (and more)?

Nope.

bbPress was born for the sole purpose of running the wordPress support forums.

Cookie integration was a nice idea added sometime around 0.8 (as i recall), was awesome for 5 weeks with 0.9 before a wordpress update broke it. Automattic got round to fixing it some 14 months later.

bbPress playing nice with wordpress is a nice hook on the front page, it is not now, nor shall be, it’s purpose. (hence Matt telling people to not use the software, and that he’s scrapping it to become a wordPress plugin instead).

Not to mention that the code you suggested does not handle login errors…

Yeah it does. Login errors are always handled on the login page. (wp-login.php and bb-login.php). All we’ve built is a form that points to those pages.

If you login successfully you’ll be redirected back to your page, if not you’ll hit the original/default login page with the error.

if you’re looking to recreate the wp-login/bb-login page on every/all pages with all the functionality that entails, then you’ve a much bigger job on your hands, and if i’m honest, i’d head to the wordpress forums for some help there (in my experience wordpress is fussy about wp-login being used).

[pagal]

Dear buddies I want to correct you both..

the code was https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in

<?php

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {

echo ‘Welcome, registered user!’;

} else {

echo ‘Welcome, visitor!’;

};

?>

and with this there is no need to call bb-load.php into wp…

Now I’ve replaced kevinjohngallagher’s html form with, Welcome, visitor!.. and its working fine now..

but the problem is the after login I want to display the register user’s name and his profile and log out link..suppose

Edit My profile | Admin | Log out wanna replace with “Welcome, registered user!”

but I’m not able to execute the php code to display the logged in user name into echo ‘php code’;

is there any solution?

Thanks

I want to call up <?php login_form(); ?> from bbPress and show it in my WordPress header.

I thought bbPress were not yet loaded in his WP header…

I’ve successfully completed a “deep integration” and I’m currently testing another pretty integrated installation, without users db sharing and it works fine.

Why do you think bbPress and WordPress don’t play that nice together (reguardless of what the front page of this website says)? Wasn’t bbPress born for this (and more)?

[kevinjohngallagher]

I’m really confused, how can you be using bbpress and not have bb-load be called? bbPress doesn’t load if it’s not called :S

First:

If you’re building a wordpress website and want to include bbPress functions, I’d strongly suggest re-reading this:

Deep Integration, the allowing of wordpress functions to be called in bbPress, is totally unsupported and unintentional. If you can hack it to make it work then cool, but really, you’re on your own for the most part.

Calling bbpress functions in wordpress is always always always going to cause issues in the long run. it wasn’t built for it in any way shape or form. It’s a square peg in a round hole scenario, and if you can push something through then awesome, but sometimes it’s just not worth it.

Second of all, you could do this:

<br />

if(function_exists('bb_is_user_logged_in'))<br />

{</p>

<p>}<br />

Third:

in WordPress:

<br />

<?php<br />

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {<br />

// Logged in user<br />

// Hardcode your form here<br />

} else {<br />

// Not logged in<br />

// Hardcode your form here<br />

}<br />

?><br />

in bbPress:

<br />

<?php<br />

if ( bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {<br />

// Logged in user<br />

// Hardcode your form here<br />

} else {<br />

// Not logged in<br />

// Hardcode your form here<br />

}<br />

?><br />

Overall:

I suppose what I’m trying to put across to mr_pelle, pagal and mikkelsen is that you’re trying to come up with an eloquent/easy/catch-all solution that doesn’t really exist.

bbPress and WordPress don’t play that nice together (reguardless of what the front page of this website says). Integrated cookies (logged into one means you’re logged into the other) is really where the buck stops; and any deeper integration is really really unsupported.

You’re best bet, without a shadow of a doubt, is to hardcode things to look and act the way you want them; and treat wordpress and bbpress differently. The realism is if you can’t code, then bbPress is definately not for you – sadly. We can help and guide the best we can, and there are some great people helping on this board, but at the end of the day, we can’t give out generic answers that are sure to work I’m afraid (honestly we’d love to).

[mr_pelle]

The simplest and most straight forward solution is to work out what you want to do, and code that directly.

In this case:

<?php

if ( is_user_logged_in() || bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {

// Logged in user

// Hardcode your form here

} else {

// Not logged in

// Hardcode your form here

}

?>

You cannot call bb_is_user_logged_in() without prior inclusion of bb-load.php, though…

[pagal]

@ kevinjohngallagher … I’m not a techi person.. can you please tell me what code of bbpress will use in “Hardcode your form here” and”Hardcode your form here” to show the bbpress login form into wordpress…

[kevinjohngallagher]

Hey guys,

You’re really trying to do something here that was never intended.

bbPress was coded to create the same (or a readable) cookie from wordpress.

Deep Integration, the allowing of wordpress functions to be called in bbPress, is totally unsupported and unintentional. If you can hack it to make it work then cool, but really, you’re on your own for the most part.

Calling bbpress functions in wordpress is always always always going to cause issues in the long run. it wasn’t built for it in any way shape or form. It’s a square peg in a round hole scenario, and if you can push something through then awesome, but sometimes it’s just not worth it.

In this case:

<?php

if ( is_user_logged_in() || bb_is_user_logged_in() ) {

// Logged in user

// Hardcode your form here

} else {

// Not logged in

// Hardcode your form here

}

?>

Remember, hardcoding is your friend, because YOU control it

Also, I have no idea how to view error logs. I’m using Cyberduck for my ftp if that helps

[mzimmers]

Ah, OK, I get it. I didn’t realize that the window.open stuff was a javascript method (I told you I’m a novice!). Thanks for the clarification.

I think I also found another way to get the target=”_blank” code to validate (sort of): I noticed that my main site (www.scopedin.com) doesn’t return errors on that same sidebar code. I think it’s because the DOCTYPE at the top of the page is 1.0 transitional. I suppose I could use this in my bbpress header as well?

Thanks again for the help.

[chrishajer]

You don’t need a plugin at all, since these are not posts with the links: they’re sponsored images in your template.

You need to find this:

target="_blank"

And replace it with this:

onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;"

in whatever file you added the target=”_blank” to. Sounds like it’s in your sidebar. You will need to manually edit that file. If it’s not a static file and is being generated by WordPress or something, then you would need a WordPress plugin to add the links with the javascript onclick instead of deprecated target=”_blank”.

[iq9]

I heard back from Network Solutions about this issue. Their response was basically:

Our SSL proxy doesn’t allow server-side variables to detect HTTPS (secure). All server-side coding will always detect HTTP (non-secure), and for programs that attempt to redirect non-secure connections (http://) to a secure connection (https://) will result in an infinite loop and server error after 30 seconds (newer technology browsers such as Firefox will detect this loop almost immediately and give up before 30 seconds). We cannot change this setting on our servers.

There is a 2nd paragraph with their recommended workaround, which is similar to my approach above of looking for ‘https:’ in the scheme of the URL.

I’m going to see if the bbPress developers would include the above code in their core. Seems like a worthwhile addition, or maybe they are aware of this and intentionally do not include it for various reasons.

[mzimmers]

Is Sam’s code in the plug-in library, or do I just copy it and insert it into my right sidebar file?

Also, does this code modify *all* links in a given page?

Thanks.

[chrishajer]

But you don’t need a plugin to add the code to open in target="_blank", you are already doing it, which is what’s causing the validation problem. That is deprecated and invalid, so, you need to stop using it, or use Sam’s javascript method.

[mzimmers]

Thanks for the reply, Chris. I’d be only too happy to disregard validation errors, except for two factors:

1. I’m still relatively new to all this html/css/php stuff, so I do learn from reading the validation reports.

2. I lean heavily on support from a variety of forums, some of which don’t share your casual attitude toward validation. I try to keep my code “clean” to appease them.

I looked at the second link you posted above. Does this plugin actually reside in the plugin library? I did a couple of searches and couldn’t find it. Or, do I just cut the code and put it in a file, and upload it as a plugin?

Thanks again.

[asorethumb]

was hoping to bypass having to edit everyone’s posts. thanks though; will see if i can get everyone to do it

if its possible to edit code to automatically make all topics sticky, that would be awesome as well.

[asorethumb]

I use stickys for important announcements with a specific icon, and don’t see being able to get all my users on board with making every single topic a sticky. aaaah well, worth a shot

[mr_pelle]

@Gautam: yeah sorry, I suggested that because I’m testing with no users db sharing, so I’ve to use bb_is_user_logged_in() instead of WP’s function.

[GW]

Hi. I’m new to bbpress, and I seem to be having the same problem. The theme folders in my-templates do not show up on the Appearance page of my bb-admin. I’ve tried the 755 fix to no avail. Only the two default themes show up

[Gautam Gupta]

You can use is_user_logged_in() WordPress function for that, like:

<?php

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {

// Logged in HTML here

} else {

// Login form HTML here

}

?>

The solution suggested by Pelle would work, but would add a lot of load on your blog.

[mr_pelle]

Before calling the bbPress function just add:

<?php require_once ABSPATH .'/forum/bb-load.php'; ?>

[chrishajer]

Not sure which two errors you received, but here are the two I received:

Line 31, Column 12: there is no attribute "clear"

That’s true. It needs to be <br style="clear:both;" /> to be valid.

Line 93, Column 50: there is no attribute "target"

That’s true as well, but who cares? It brings me to one of my favorite _ck_ quotes of all time: “throw off your shackles of validation”

http://www.google.com/search?q=%22throw+off+your+shackles+of+validation%22

Open Links in new window

There are a couple of solutions there.

1. drop the attribute altogether (let the visitor determine where they want the link to open)

2. use Sam’s javascript solution

3. use _ck_’s route and just run with it. Who cares if it validates? It works just fine and has no negative affect on anything
