First post here. I have seemingly got some level of integration with wp 2.6 and bb 0.9.x working on a test bed site, blog-o-sphere.com</p> <p>At least it seems so (although seperate logins are apparently required in each). While that is not optimal, it does not seem to break anything.</p> <p>Bad idea or should I upgrade to the the new 1.0 alpha (is it stable enough?)</p> <p>-Commerce </p> http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/better-bbpress-wordpress-integration-the-missing-faq#post-427 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:40:07 +0000 _ck_ 427@http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ <p>No unfortunately 2.6 uses a completely new cookie system that is not available in a stable release of bbPress.</p> <p>It's very easy to rollback WP 2.6 to 2.5.1 - there are no security issues in 2.5.1, just a few new features in 2.6 </p> http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/better-bbpress-wordpress-integration-the-missing-faq#post-426 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:53:26 +0000 tripleG 426@http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ <p>oh man 2.6 wont integrate? thats not great news, but atleast i know what the problem is. Is there a work around that you know of (so i can use 2.6)? </p> http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/better-bbpress-wordpress-integration-the-missing-faq#post-424 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 20:47:02 +0000 _ck_ 424@http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ <p>tripleG, you aren't trying to integrate with WordPress 2.6 are you? bbPress won't work with 2.6, you must use 2.5.1 </p> <p>The most overlooked part to getting the cookies sync'ed is the new SECRET KEY in WordPress/bbPress. You have to follow the directions on the bbpress.org site. </p> http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/better-bbpress-wordpress-integration-the-missing-faq#post-423 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:32:19 +0000 tripleG 423@http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ <p>so i guess i didnt have it working. After tweaking and trying to make sure everything was correct, it turns out i cannot login anymore on the bb side. If I require once the wp-blog-header.php in bb-config.php i cannot login from bb side, but it looks to create a cookie. Logging in on wp side is fine, but it still doesnt show the person logged in on bb side.</p> <p>Any insight on that? if you want to email me and help I am willing to pay to get this headache taken care of (plus im going to use several of your plugins).</p> <p>thanks. </p> http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/better-bbpress-wordpress-integration-the-missing-faq#post-421 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:32:03 +0000 _ck_ 421@http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ <p>You certainly don't have to force it to log in through wordpress, it's just that wordpress had superior registration and login functions to bbpress. That is slowly changing but bbPress is still not up to speed. </p> http://bbshowcase.org/forums/topic/better-bbpress-wordpress-integration-the-missing-faq#post-419 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 08:59:55 +0000 tripleG 419@http://bbshowcase.org/forums/ <p>_ck_, excellent work here with this. I finally got things working. I was having the same issues as Greenleaves (i am on the same platforms as well).</p> <p>What i did to fix:<br /> step 1 suggests adding code to the bb-config.php file</p> <p>$bb-&gt;wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix. Example: 'wp_';<br /> $bb-&gt;wp_home = 'http://example.com/blog'; // WordPress - Options-&gt;General: Blog address (URL) // Example: 'http://example.com'<br /> $bb-&gt;wp_siteurl = 'http://example.com'; // WordPress - Options-&gt;General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: 'http://example.com'</p> <p>$bb-&gt;cookiedomain = 'example.com';<br /> $bb-&gt;cookiepath = '/';</p> <p>$bb-&gt;usercookie = 'wordpressuser_ab1b1c8b2de0ca2b381c25a6b6e812a1';<br /> $bb-&gt;passcookie = 'wordpresspass_ab1b1c8b2de0ca2b381c25a6b6e812a1';</p> <p>***make sure the last two are in the config, the usercookie and the passcookie. copy the wordpress integration code into your bb-config file as well as these last two but make sure you put your own wordpressuser_blabla in there.</p> <p>_ck_, my question for you is this: If i set everyone to login via wordpress what is the benefit? because i dont want to have to tweak the wordpress dashboard for the users, just want to them to change their profiles on the bbpress side. </p>
