@bphelp @hnla @mercime  Yes, the plugin I made was based on Rich Fuller’s code. It’s ancients old – I’d be surprised if it still works!  But I never put it in the repo. If @bphelp wants to put it in the repo, feel free – just know that you’ll get lots of emails, etc for support.

The next thing I’d try is renaming the plugins folder so that it deactivates all your plugins (in case you are experiencing a conflict).

If you mean using the native BuddyPress ‘favorites’ functionality, that would be a really cool feature for Achievements

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 9 months, 2 weeks ago]

Happy to help you out if @modemlooper is busy You can get in touch with me on Twitter at: @pollyplummer or via my website: http://untame.net. Can get it done for you tonight if you need it ASAP.

We’ve put together a nice list of responsive BuddyPress themes here http://wpmu.org/10-responsive-buddypress-themes/

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 1 year, 5 months ago]

Just an update to this issue: Through working with @karmatosed we found that it was a problem, partially related to this ticket here: http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3821 and were able to correct it.

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 1 year, 5 months ago]

Yes, I just tested with this but it doesn’t make a difference for showing a users’ list of favorites. I’ve never encountered this before.

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 1 year, 5 months ago]

I haven’t changed anything in the BP core. I just deleted those files and uploaded a fresh copy of BP 1.5.1. again – still no change. Maybe something in the database? What might I look for in the activity or activity meta tables that would clue me in? Would having a custom table prefix affect it at all?

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 1 year, 6 months ago]

Same issue with WP 3.2.1, BP 1.5.1, and Multisite. cannot locate Welcome Pack settings within the settings menu.

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 1 year, 11 months ago]

Well… this continued to be a problem on one of my sites, so I just jumped into the db and found him by user_id in the wp_usermeta table and then located the achievements points table and manually changed his points to something reasonable, like 75. Funny thing is that although his numbers were in the trillions on the front-end, I found that the table said he had -11. Not sure how all that works, but I’m guessing there’s something that goes wonky with negative point awards. I’m just posting here in case someone else has this issue and has to manually get in there and fix it. Hope this helps!

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 2 years ago]

Hmm… would a -15 do it? Here’s the user where it happened: http://sportsrantz.com/members/damenacelo37/achievements/ and he only has 6 achievements. So it must be the negative one that is causing it to go wonky? What do you think the best way to reset his points would be – directly through the database? Thanks for your help, Paul!

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 2 years, 1 month ago]

I’m having a similar strange bug on a site that I’m helping with – one user has gotten like a trillion points somehow and I’m not sure what happened. I’m thinking about getting into the database to change the user’s points because it looks quite ridiculous.
WP 3.1.1
BP 1.2.8
Achievements 2.0.7

I recently did a quick writeup comparing BuddyPress and Drupal Commons – hope some people find this helpful when selecting between the two: http://wpmu.org/open-source-social-networking-matchup-buddypress-vs-drupal-commons/

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 2 years, 5 months ago]

You can change the default tab open by editing your wp-config.php file. Add this:

`define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘forum’ );`

This info is from the documentation: http://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 2 years, 8 months ago]

@johnjamesjacoby Do you know anything about this? Are the setting such that you need to turn all the regular components off if you want to use the legacy components? Or is the plugin broken? The site I’m working on redirects to homepage for wall posts, and there seem to be some issues with friending as well.

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 2 years, 9 months ago]

Hey @mwspr – I don’t have a plugin for that in the repository. I think maybe I posted one a long time ago in a blog post but I’m not actively maintaining it. I don’t know what fix you’re talking about but feel free to add it yourself and put it in the repo if you think other people might want it. I probably won’t be working on that one.

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 2 years, 9 months ago]

Hello @Modemlooper ! Thanks for your plugin! I fixed it so that it tweets out the actual activity permalink url You can check out the fixed version here: http://wpmu.org/new-buddypress-tweet-button-plugin-download-here/ If you want to update yours at the reop, I’ll change the download link to point to your plugin at the repo. I was experimenting with this yesterday, so was happy to see you made it into a plugin!

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 2 years, 9 months ago]

Sorry to bump this. I think it got lost in the shuffle. Anyone every had this error with friend requests?

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 2 years, 10 months ago]

@jeremyltn Super! I know a lot of people will be excited about this. Thanks!

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 2 years, 10 months ago]

Thanks It’s there: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-sliding-login-panel/

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 2 years, 10 months ago]

@satanas147 Thanks for that. I did not think about people who don’t have Friends enabled. I will add that to the next version.

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 2 years, 10 months ago]

This fix worked for me:
Go to: phpmyadmin > yourdatabase > wp_bp_groups_groupmeta

Find the group you’re attempting to post to and then delete the forum_id value. Go back to your group on the front end. When logged in as admin of the group, go to settings and re-enable your forums. It will save a new forum_id for you and your posts should start working. This is a solution for BuddyPress groups that are starting a fresh new forum, not for groups with forums that have existing posts.

The plugin has been added to the WP repository. You can find it here with a few updates: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-sliding-login-panel/

[Sarah GoodingParticipant @pollyplummer 2 years, 10 months ago]

@jeremyltn Are you going to add your plugin to the repo? I tested it out tonight on WP 3.0 and BP 1.2.4.1 and it didn’t work for me. So I changed the post URL and then it works. However, it updates the page with a warning about headers already having been sent from the BuddyPress messaging component, which I’m not sure how to fix. Anyway, I’m writing a blog and linking to your plugin, offering it for download with the updated post URL. I know a lot of BuddyPress people would love it if you added it to the repo- People are always looking for this. Thanks for the work you’ve done!
