Marcher Technologies Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Question: How should one go about changing a user name on both IPB and WP with bridge installed? I've done IPB name change so far. if done from IPB, they need to login to wp, .or be sso'd from ipb login to be logged into wp(not already logged in to wp *technically*) for it to synch. if done from wp, it does it for IPB instantly Link to comment

My network admin account doesn't seem to have access to change users. Link to comment
Marcher Technologies Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Do you change this through the wordpress database? While I spoke to you about this on IM, I feel this merits public mention. Don't do that. Ever. None of my code can run for this, IPB would win every time as my 'change' call to the master never runs.

FirestormXVI Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I don't believe there's any other way to change the username on WordPress, so that's only something you can do on Invision Power Board. In any case, I just got back from my vacation a week ago and started testing today. Unfortunately, the time bug is still happening. It retrieves the Invision Power Board time in GMT without converting it to PDT which is what both Invision and WordPress are set to =( If this could be fixed, I could put the product live!

I have 'fixed' this so many times now it's atrocious, having you test a patch in your environment to ensure it is correct. Link to comment

Chad Fullerton Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hi Marcher I followed the readme instructions but I must have done something wrong as I'm experiencing the following: a) If I login into Wordpress, it logs me into IPB perfectly b) If I log out from IPB, it is logging out of Wordpress perfectly b) HOWEVER, if I login via IPB... it doesn't log me into Wordpress. Any ideas? I assume it must be that I have the Login settings incorrect in IPB, right now I just have "IPB Internal" enabled. Am I supposed to have IPB Connect enabled? If I do turn it on and fill out the master url/key in IPB, it gets confused and doesn't work (which I read in another reply you made saying not to make IPB master connect of itself or it gets confused and goes in a loop, etc). What am I missing here? Link to comment

What am I missing here? IPB URL and WP URL(yes, leave the ipsconnect slave in IPB off, thank you)? Single Sign On[1][2],[2] Same TLD as IPB Master Only. Link to comment
FirestormXVI Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Weird issue. The options to put in my API key isn't coming up on WordPress settings? Did everything up to Step 7. None of the XML-RPC options show up in WordPress and it says it's disabled even though it's enabled in IPB. I can't even click it to get the status. Link to comment

None of the XML-RPC options show up in WordPress and it says it's disabled even though it's enabled in IPB. I can't even click it to get the status. Issue resolved. It was a hosting problem. Edit: Unrelated, but what are the conditions for avatars in comments to be pulled from Invision? I attached an old thread to a post and it just uses Gravatar =/ I'd like everything to just use Invision avatars. Link to comment

I attached an old thread to a post and it just uses Gravatar =/ I'd like everything to just use Invision avatars. Synch. Basically I have to have the 'connect_id'(IPB member ID) to pull the avatar properly. they have to either login or be SSO'd once. Link to comment
Marcher Technologies Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Synch. Basically I have to have the 'connect_id'(IPB member ID) to pull the avatar properly. they have to either login or be SSO'd once. To wordpress. I need to be more clear here. killing the wordpress cookies helps more than killing IPB's. They have to log in to wordpress or be SSO'd from being logged in to IPB by not being logged into wordpress.

garyopa Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Can this create a forum topic for current posts on a Wordpress install, not just new ones made after the plugin is installed? Link to comment
Marcher Technologies Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Can this create a forum topic for current posts on a Wordpress install, not just new ones made after the plugin is installed? Yes. On save or view of an existing published wp post, if topic posting is enabled, and the tid I store is 0(this is to allow sane regeneration) or not stored, the topic will post. Link to comment
FirestormXVI Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Whenever someone logs in it resets their displayed name for articles totheir username rather than their real name, which is what we like it to be to keep articles looking a bit more professional. Is there a way to keep articles to real name while leaving comments as IPB username? Hi Marcher I followed the readme instructions but I must have done something wrong as I'm experiencing the following: a) If I login into Wordpress, it logs me into IPB perfectly b) If I log out from IPB, it is logging out of Wordpress perfectly b) HOWEVER, if I login via IPB... it doesn't log me into Wordpress.

Is there a way to keep articles to real name while leaving comments as IPB username? Having this issue as well. I cannot reproduce the last issue. i would have to look at it occurring with access to both admin panels to suss what is happening..... does it persist in your case if the 'master' is turned 'online'? for the first... I don't touch the wp post author.... at all.... like.... ever :P wp must be picking up on the nickname, which i do synch with the display name for consistency, suppose an 'off' switch couldn't hurt..

FirestormXVI Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Sorry, not sure what you mean by turning the Master "online"? Yeah, I figured that was the issue on display names. Having comments be the same as the forum username is more important though so if it's one of the other, I'll have to settle with this =P Link to comment
Marcher Technologies Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Sorry, not sure what you mean by turning the Master "online"? http://rushanshekar.com/nbtest/forums/ I assumed(possibly incorrectly) due to your previous posts that was the IPB. it being on the same domain, and that being supported, I would look at testing with board online.

FirestormXVI Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Ah sorry, no. I'm now on our live site: http://nuggetbridge.com/ http://nuggetbridge.com/forums/ The boards are online so shouldn't be an issue though they were offline while I was installing and setting up the plugin. Link to comment

I'm now on our live site: http://nuggetbridge.com/ http://nuggetbridge.com/forums/ The boards are online so shouldn't be an issue though they were offline while I was installing and setting up the plugin. check your IPB cookie settings. if you have a cookie path that will be the issue, empty. wp needs to be able to read a cookie IPB sets.

FirestormXVI Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hm, I don't have a cookie path set but I do have a prefix set. Would that cause an issue? Link to comment

abetts Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Sorry to be a pain but I've just downloaded/uploaded this. I've got to step 8 and can't log into the wordpress site anymore! Doh! It's telling me that "ERROR: We could not log you in. Please try again later." but I've just checked the wp database in phpmyadmin and I'm using the right email address! Link to comment

Doh! It's telling me that "ERROR: We could not log you in. Please try again later." but I've just checked the wp database in phpmyadmin and I'm using the right email address! Rename/remove the file wp-contentpluginsipsconnectwp-ips-connect.php to get back in. Are you using the IPB password for your account? Ultimately this usually comes down to a conflict between the IPB and Wordpress accounts on first login, whereby the emails do not match but the login name does, or vice versai. Link to comment
abetts Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 That was quick, thanks very much :D Now that's working, I'm struggling with the auto-posting of the article on the forums, and it's not remembering the member-id of the topic starter. Any ideas please? Link to comment
