Precisely so they dont have to log out and log back in. Plus some people dont have more than one email address to register with, and i’d rather not have people giving fake/gimmick addresses.

It allows people to have different ‘personas’ if you will… not for role playing necessarily, more kind of what posting style/mood they’re in

[chrishajer]

Is that more or less difficult then the users just registering multiple times? Is the logging out and back in as a different user much more difficult than selecting from a drop down?

I think it’s an interesting idea, but I’ve never see forum software with a function like that before. I always just register with multiple accounts. What use would this have for you? Why do they need pseudonyms? Just curious.

I have a user that had the underscores stripped from his username when he registered. Is there any way to curb this unhappy behavior?

[lonemadmax]

In blogs open without registration I usually put an address @example.com. I’ve also found quite a few people use one time addresses. So if this is going to be done, it should be made clear that the address is not just for gravatars and other such stuff. Also, unconfirmed users should be removed after some time to avoid “usernames starvation”.

bumping this up so someone can do it :p

I am also looking for same thing. I would really appreciate any help in this regard.

Can I use bbpress functions as library functions in my code to register user in bbpress, login in bbpress and logout from bbpress programmatically?

If there are some direct functions available for these needs, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I want to automate login in bbpress and start bbpress session. How can i do that? I have my portal setup with list of users who come there for additional functionalities, I want to extend it by adding bbpress forum.

Basically in that way…

I need to do 1. Register users in bbpress database 2. login in bbpress whenever user logs in to my site and 3. logs out whenever user logs out from my site.

Are there any interfaces available which i can use in my code? My code is also in php and I am willing to modify some core files if required.

Please let me know. I will really appreciate your help.

[macwise]

Ziyphr,

Thank you so much for your reply. I think this is really the solution that I have been looking for. It just doesn’t make sense to me to only have one subdomain registered in the cookies, and I wasn’t sure how wordpress handled the adding of a subdomain.

I am still moderately new to php, so I’m not sure I follow the last paragraph in terms of proper form and syntax, and so I’d prefer to ask that “stupid question” rather than sound smart and fail. . Can you let me know exactly what you think should go there, in terms of syntax? That would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. It sounded like you meant to say “You should NOT need to use .htaccess? Just checking to be sure…

Thanks so much for your help.

I’d like to modify the email that new users receive after they register. Specifically, I’d like to add some textual instructions on how to change their password. Is there a plugin that allows me to do this?

[chrishajer]

When registering on a bbPress forum, this is displayed after you submit your registration:

Make sure to whitelist our domain (http://www.mywebsite.com) so the confirmation email doesn’t get caught by any filters.

That’s not really how whitelists work. Normally, you whitelist a domain or an email address, so wouldn’t it be better to say this in register.php on line 11:

<?php printf(__("A password will be mailed to the email address you provide. Make sure to whitelist our email address (%s) so the confirmation email doesn't get caught by any  filters."), bb_get_option( 'admin_email' )) ?> 

Make sense?

[wsokc]

Its the same,

When i tried to another browser like IE, im able to see the post, then when i tried to register, and login with new username, i come with blank page again…

appreciate for the help…..

the exact location is: http://myraffaell.com/itts –> in config its should ‘/itts/’ right ? cmiimw

Thanks,

[chrishajer]

Good ticket – thanks.

[Trent Adams]

This should work!

[chrishajer]

Ok, thanks Trent. I notice it whenever I register on a forum, and I can work around it, but I imagine for a new user it could be a little confusing. It seems unnecessary and could be made better. Thanks for posting a TRAC ticket (if you do.)

[Trent Adams]

I have always noticed this and never said anything. Maybe stick up a TRAC ticket for it!

I get this message on any bbPress forum I register for. I register, I get the email with my password, I log in, then, after I log in, I get this message in the body of the page:

You’re already logged in, why do you need to register?

Why is that? Shouldn’t it redirect to the front page of the forum or something? Seems silly to tell the user he did something wrong after all he did was log in.

[mfuchs]

Dear all,

I just installed bbPress on my server last night. The installation was a piece of cake and everything seemed to work.

When I tried to register as a new user that worked as well and the user is in the database. But the e-mail was never received. I tried that with various e-mail addresses to make sure it’s not a specific domain that does not work but no e-mails where received at all.

I found this thread http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/82?replies=6 but honestly don’t quite know what to do with that Patch. Can anybody tell me what the problem could be or how to find a workaround?

The forum I installed is located at http://www.newyorkphotoblog.com/forum/

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Thanks a lot and all the best,

Martin Fuchs

Can someone please take a look at this and tell me what i did wrong…

I tried upgrading form 0.75 (or whatever bix is) …but was confusing so just deleted all tables but bb_users (so no one needs to re-register).

Now I have no idea what is happening but there is no theme being shown and only text. ARGH!

[Ahni]

Hey. I was having the problem where new registrations to BB was giving the users administrator privileges (bu the default was set to subscriber) — and In the WP userlist, the new bb users were sort of ominously listed below the users who registered through WP.

I saw this mentioned a few times here (sorry for not just adding this in reply to one of those posts, I couldn’t find them)…

Anyways – I realized I have the Role Manager plugin installed in WP.. I de-activated it, and now new users get assigned the proper default WP role.

Cheers.

[macwise]

Well, in this case I am calling the header file from wordpress on the bbpress pages. The only problem is that I have things in the bbpress header like

bb_is_user_logged_in()

and

is_topic()

which create tons of problems when I put that code in the wp header file. I was able to load wp when bbpress loads, but it seems like the opposite would also be useful, to register bbpress when wp loads. I suppose through reverse engineering, I could figure that out on my own?! Otherwise, I would like to just be able to tell the page, “Hey, are you wordpress, then load this…otherwise, don’t load it. And if your BBPress, then load this, otherwise don’t load it”.

Currently I am also trying to specify which stylesheets to load. If it’s wp, I want the wp stylesheet, and if it’s bb, I want the bb stylesheet, and I don’t want the conflicts when both load.

1 – Does this make sense?

B – Is there a solution? and

4 – Am I overlooking a more obvious solution?

It seems goofy to be discussing WP on a bbPress forum, but this is important for theme integration between the 2. Here is my login form in my sidebar (well ex sidebar as I use wordpress.com now). I use a conditional to welcome the user or display the login form.

 <li id="login">

<?php

global $user_ID, $user_identity;

get_currentuserinfo();

if (!$user_ID):

?>

<label for="s"><?php _e('Login:'); ?></label>

<ul>

<li>

<form name="loginform" id="loginform" action="<?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php" method="post">

<div><label><?php _e('Login') ?>:<br /><input type="text" name="log" id="log" value="" size="15" tabindex="7" /></label><br />

<label><?php _e('Password') ?>:<br /> <input type="password" name="pwd" id="pwd" value="" size="15" tabindex="8" /></label><br />

<input type="hidden" name="rememberme" value="forever" />

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="<?php _e('Login'); ?> &raquo;" tabindex="9" /><br />

<?php wp_register('', ''); ?>

<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>"/></div>

</form></li>

<li><script type="text/javascript">slvBanner();</script></li></ul>

<?php

else:

?>

<label for="s">Welcome <?php echo $user_identity; ?>!</label>

<ul>

<?php wp_register(); ?>

<li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('siteurl') . '/wp-login.php?action=logout&amp;redirect_to=' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>"><?php _e('Logout'); ?></a></li>

</ul>

<?php

endif;

?>

</li>

Ron,

Having the sidebar on the side of bbPress I guess is something I have never tried to do. I guess there is no reason why it wouldn’t work. With the integration plugin, all registrations of bbPress become WP registrations so I don’t think it matters if they register in bbPress or WP as they all become WP users (and obviously bbPress users as well).

I have the login box in WP in the sidebar, so whatever page I am on when I login at, it stays on that page. That is the only way around it regardless of WP version. If you integrate the sidebar into bbPress theme, I would imagine the same would happen on that side as well.

Sorry, what other questions did you have as I am posting pretty quickly here….lol

Trent

[macwise]

Once again, I think this is done by default. WP has its theme and content. bbPress has its theme and content.

As usual..more details.

I am really trying to use elements from wp on the bb side, such as sidebar…so I’m calling

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

on pages like this one:

http://babyquestions101.com/forum/

However, I have so many questions as to how to handle the login box in sidebar…Should it:

– Go to BBPress login/register page always (wp or bb)

– Go to WP login/register page always

– Go to respective login/register pages depending on which side the click originated?

Then, depending on that configuration, redirect questions ensue.

I know this is probably a matter of preference, but I’m indifferent, and wondering what will overall be the best solution for the user. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

– Login Redirects to last visited page

It seems to me that if you are integrated, both bbPress and WP use the wp_users table in the database so wherever you login will be redirected to the last visited page (as both programs do this now). It is easy to have th login in the header.php of your template in bbPress and just adding the login box to WP in sidebar also has login on every page.

I have already made a tweak to the redirect in wp-admin to go back to the homepage in wp. I did this because it was redirecting to the profile.php page when a user logged in, instead of to the last page they were visiting. Is that the default behavior, or did I miss something? I am on wp v.2.0.5, so maybe something has changed in version 2.1 which changes this behavior?

I’m going gently nuts. I have two forums: http://www.allaluminumtour.com/forum and http://www.ponohouse.com/ponoforum. The second one (ponohouse) is a new installation of the latest software version. the first one is an older installation–it’s working fine. The installation went fine, I attempted to use the integration features but got an error message (sorry, don’t remember what it was) so I cleaned out the integration data in the config file, deleted the tables in the database, and reinstalled.

Everything seemed to work fine–I can register as a user, but when I click “see my account” I get a 404 error and when I click on a forum topic I also get file not found.

I notice that the directory the browser is trying to access is: http://www.ponohouse.com/ponoforum/profile/2 whereas in the allaluminumtour forum it’s http://www.allaluminumtour.com/forum/profile.php?id=1

Any ideas?

[ryudonghyup]

When I use default template, this plugin doesn’t have a problem. But, I changed default into K2 template. I came to know, registered member also can see my private forums. I want it completely private.

Is there any solution for this?
