oh, what a pity :(

I have seen some posts on a forum of people trying to do the same thing. I don't think it can be too difficult - A matter of an afterFind callback in Cake I suppose once th e User is found?

not sure about the BB Press end as I have not used it yet, although it looks promising compared to other forum choices. Any thoughts?

Well, my first approach when I get time to revisit would be to use the same
cookie mechanism i'm already using in my cake app - namely the cookie
handler. I usually dont rely just on Sessions for my user login, but set a
cookie also.

I would extend the Cookie handler built into cake to tap into the same
libraries that BBPress is using (either by duplication or inclusion), and
when I set my cake cookie I also set a BBPress cookie, and a session
variable if BBPress requires one.

Hope that helps - and yes, I apologize that I have not finished part 3 - it
kills me as well!

No, unfortunately I haven't taken the time to finish this out or the project
that this was for! I really hope to revisit soon.

have any luck with the logging in to BBPress at the same time with a single log in?
