Does anybody know how/where the cookie domain for bbpress is stored? I am not talking about the siteurl or home…I’m looking for the value “Website” in the cookie table in Safari’s preferences – > Cookies window, or the value “domain” in Firefox’s Preferences -> Domain field. I’m having conflicts with WordPress’ integration when I have a user create new password etc. in bbpress. I need to assign the cookie website or “domain” to be .myurl.com instead of http://www.myurl.com.

You have to add these lines to your bbPress config.php file – not sure who posted it, but it’s not my idea.

//your try to sync cookies

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

$bb->cookiepath = '/';

You also have to edit WP core files I think.

wp-settings.php line 190

FROM

define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', false);

TO

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

I’ve got it set up so at http://www.loinhead.net (and forums.loinhead.net) and it works nicely.

That seems to have done the trick. Thanks for posting. I can’t tell you how much searching/testing/wild uncontrollable arm-waving code experimenting I’ve been doing. I did get the WP cookie domain issue figured out, hence the conflict.

Anyhow, all seems to be in order now, so I am just plum tickled! (no, I don’t normally say ‘plum tickled’. And yes, I really am plum tickled.) So thanks a million to you, fel64, for posting my much needed solution.

P.S. Checked out your site…I like the look of the “blog” area quite a bit. Loinhead, eh? Funny. Are you using a “Jello Mold” type layout solution for your liquid css layout? Anyway, the site looks great…

[@fel64 Member 17 years, 10 months ago]

Hehe, no problem, and glad you like the site. The site came after the pun, if you were wondering …

Not sure what a Jello Mold solution is? All I’ve done is float: lefted the sidebar and float: righted the main content bar. To get the background going all the way down I put them into another div.

A lot of the work was already done for me, as I started with the Greenflower WP theme, so it wasn’t a great step from that. Glad you like it, though, really

Wow. I have been trying to get this to work for a while and fel64 got it in one! Thanks so much – much frustration is now gone.

I think if you wait until bbPress 0.9 is released and integrate it with WordPress 2.5, things will be a lot easier.
