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

Sat May 6 07:38:45 GMT 2006

since you required wp-config.php (actually, you don't need to require
wp-settings.php, it's required in wp-config), you can use the wp variables.
So, I would do something like this:

if(file_exists('../wp-config.php')) {
define('BBDB_NAME', WPDB_NAME); //or whatever wp's constant is... note there
are no ' ' arount WPDB
...
$bb = $wp; //not sure this will work :) otherwise you will have to set the
variables manually:
$bb->domain = $wp->domain; //this is why your cookie didn't work: you hashed
your $bb->domain, which is another domain than your wp install, and thus
another cookie :)

define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'wp_users');
define('CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE', 'wp_usermeta');

[bla bla bla]

} else {
[the original content of your bb-config.php
}
