[bbDev] bbpress and wp

[Derek Winterstien]

I've been using bbpress with Wordpress and as bbpress stands now, in 
"alpha" it does work and it is usable.  Whether or not other users are 
willing to help, or just blow you off saying "it is alpha" is another issue.

Consider with the WP site at the URI root / and then placing the bbpress 
site in a subdirectory /bbpress then configuring bbpress to share the WP 
users…

bb-config.php

populate the BBDB options with the username, password, host used on your 
WP site.

Set the $bb->path to the relative uri… '/bbpress' or whatever

Then add

define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'WP_users');
$myhash = md5('http://www.blah.com');
$bb->usercookie = 'wordpressuser_' . $myhash;
$bb->passcookie = 'wordpresspass_' . $myhash;
$bb->cookiepath = '/';
