I have a club site with a members area, i’m going to set up bbpress as a forum, the log in already is in place for the members area which checks if they are paid up members, i can create the bbusers table okay.

Q what do i set the cookie names/values as in my existing log in page so that no log in to bbpress is needed?

Before we can can get too much further here, what is the other system that you are hooking the cookies with? What does it use for login cookies? On first glance, if it is wordpress, you can check out:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/

It also gives you some cookie settings for possible use with another program.

no it’s something i wrote using php sessions, i just need bbpress to see the members as logged in, i can hack the rest i think.

are the cookie values just the username and password from the db?
