How do you intergrate forums?

  • I’m a nub, I want 5 different bbpress install but user will only need to sign-in once. My site links to different bbpress forums, I don’t want the user to keep having to sign-up for each forums.

    Also, what is a RSS feed?

    Use one database.

    when you install bbpress, it will ask you for the database name, username, and password. If for example you had shared hosting and multiple domains hosted out of the same public_html directory, it would be easy just to specify the same database for several installs.

    Not sure how bbpress would then handle the sessions in terms of logging in and out; there may be some more setting you would need to adjust.

    I got it to go under the same database, however, when I log in http://www.example.com/forum1 it works, but when I log into http://www.example.com/forum2 under the same database, with the same username and password, it says username does not exist.

    Any idea?

    I’m afraid I don’t without installing and trying this myself. Are you able to view the same posts from both installs?

    There may be some more magic involved in order for the session to persist across both installs.

    Indeed my friend, mostly because bbPress doesn’t use sessions (it uses encrypted cookies.)

    OK, then it sounds like Wiishy would either have to set a cross domain cookie, or else store the encrypted cookies in a table so all domains can access it.

    Still not sure why he is getting a “user not found” error if both installs are set up to access the same database. There must be another configuration problem that has to be solved there. I would check the config files to be sure they are accessing the same database.

    Thanks for everyone’s help, I could not figure out why it won’t recognize the same user. I could sign-up with the same e-mail address on both install. I decided to just stick with one. Much easier this way.
