[bbDev] Cookie Sharing with Wordpress not Carrying Through to Admin (bb_config.php & .htaccess)

[Harvey Ramer]

My config file looks like this:


<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('BBDB_NAME', '');     // The name of the database
define('BBDB_USER', ');     // Your MySQL username
define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 't'); // ...and password
define('BBDB_HOST', 'localhost');     // 99% chance you won't need to change
this value

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single
database.
$bb_table_prefix  = 'bb_';

$bb->domain = 'http://forums.skepticfaith.com';	// There should be no
trailing slash here.
$bb->path   = '/';			// There should be both a leading
and trailing slash here. '/' is fine.
$bb->name   = 'Skeptic Faith Forums';

$bb->admin_email = 'harvey.ramer at skepticfaith.com';
$bb->mod_rewrite = true;
$bb->page_topics = 30;

// Number of minutes after posting a user can edit their post
$bb->edit_lock = 60;

$bb->gmt_offset = -5;
/* Stop editing */

/**************************
 *  Start WP integration
 **************************/
// My bbpress is in a subdirectory of my WP install... must bew a nicer way
of doing this??
if(file_exists("../wp-settings.php"))
{
//echo "using wordpress functions";
  // loads the functions and wp config
  require_once "../wp-config.php";
  require_once "../wp-settings.php";

  // use the WP user table for your bbpress user list
  define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'wp_users');
 //define('CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE', 'wp_usermeta');

  // your $bb->domain must match your wp domain exactly or the hash won't
work and users will not authenticate.
  $myhash = md5($bb->domain);
  $bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser_' . $myhash;
  $bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass_' . $myhash;

  // Use the same cookie as WP
  $bb->cookiepath = '/';
}
/**************************
 *  End WP integration
 **************************/




define('BBPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );
require_once( BBPATH . 'bb-settings.php' );
?>

Here's my .htaccess file
******************************************************* .htaccess

Subject: [bbDev] Cookie Sharing with Wordpress not Carrying Through to Admin


Here's my setup:

In the site root, I have Wordpress
in /forums/, I have bbPress but it is accessed by forums.domain.com

User capabilities are transferring fine between software packages, but
cookie authentication does not seem to work for the admin area. I disabled
the security redirect and tested for cookies but to no avail.

What am I missing?
