All the 3 index pages are in the root directory itself. Basically i need a login box on the mainpage of the website and then after being logged in the user should be redirected to the backend of the website! Not the forum mainpage. The forums have been installed in the root directory so as to overcome the problem of bbpress not being able to share cookies over sub directories apart from wordpress! Hoping for a quick response! Thanks!

I'll put it here so you can try it out sooner and see how it works but check for future updates on bbpress.org <a href="http://bbshowcase.org/plugins/email-login.zip" rel="nofollow">http://bbshowcase.org/plugins/email-login.zip</a> update: I've also been informed that bbPress 1.0 already has login via email address ability - it's just not enabled by default _ck_ on "Login with E-mail, Use full name vs username" http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/login-with-e-mail-use-full-name-instead-of-username#post-1131 Thu, 26 Mar 2009 10:05:06 +0000 _ck_ 1131@http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ Well what you will need to do is change the internal structure (via plugins) to how bbPress will login and signup users. You'll also have to do template edits anywhere it tries to show the username, which is virtually every page. To allow for the fact that there can be two names that are the same but different people you'll probably have to start with bbPress 1.0 and it's Display Name ability (that 0.9 does not have). Note that once you start with 1.0, you can't downgrade and many of my plugins will no longer work after the next alpha release. Because you are not familiar with how WordPress or bbPress works, I would estimate you are looking at dozens of hours of work. So before you go any further you have to decide if that is worth it to you to make such a feature possible. The best way to learn how to write plugins for WordPress/bbPress is not the virtually non-existent documentation but to study other plugins. I never used any of the so-called documentation. The login via email address intrigues me enough to make the plugin myself and should have it finished today but the other parts you'll have to create yourself. entertheraven on "Login with E-mail, Use full name vs username" http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/login-with-e-mail-use-full-name-instead-of-username#post-1130 Thu, 26 Mar 2009 07:32:06 +0000 entertheraven 1130@http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ I do know how to code in PHP. I just have no idea where to begin as I'm not familiar with creating wordpress or bbpress plugins at ALL. I would never use SMF, the code is just one jumbled mess... a major plus to bbpress is the fact that it's such clean code. I've been reading the wordpress development docs (as bbpress claims its plugin structure is very similar) as well as the limited documentation on the bbpress website. I've been looking at the source code of plugins as well, but it's difficult to make any headway considering there is nothing even remotely similar to glean from. _ck_ on "Login with E-mail, Use full name vs username" http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/login-with-e-mail-use-full-name-instead-of-username#post-1129 Wed, 25 Mar 2009 23:40:30 +0000 _ck_ 1129@http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ All this can be done if you know how to code in PHP. If you don't, you may need to look at other forum software like SMF entertheraven on "Login with E-mail, Use full name vs username" http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/login-with-e-mail-use-full-name-instead-of-username#post-1128 Wed, 25 Mar 2009 22:59:01 +0000 entertheraven 1128@http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ Alright, I would develop my own plugin if I had the slightest clue HOW. I am, to say in the least, not familiar with BBpress, I've only used it once before. Could someone point me in the direction I need to go... even let me know if this would be possible without keeping me from installing additional plugins? The login system I would really prefer would be to eliminate usernames altogether. I'd much rather force my users to use full names (first and last). I'd also like users to login with their e-mail addresses instead (as they may be the only unique field in the user table besides the ID). They obviously couldn't use their names as their login since it's possible to have duplicate names. Most everyone using the forums have been on a full-name basis since they've known each other, and I feel it would be difficult for them to learn all these usernames. Also, would it be possible to send an activation link in an e-mail instead of a password? Maybe set the user as blocked or even set their title as "Unverified" until they open their e-mail and click the link? I know personally the notion of having a password sent to you is a lot more annoying than having to click a link. I really appreciate any help I can get on this!

That's a ton of overhead. You should do what I showed above, including bb-load in your external script, which will authenticate the user and set the cookies.
