Installing buddypress into a subdomain — help needed

Well when even the master ‘nicola’ doesn’t know how to fix this, I figured I’d ask here again.

I installed wpmu 2.7.1 using subdomains, works perfectly

I then created a new blog account ‘community’ to run buddypress from, installed the theme plugins etc and all seems to work with one big exception.

no thumbnails show up at all, other than the identicon ones.

When I click the ‘missing’ thumbnail image it is pointing to community.mysite.com and says 404.

If I remove the community. and just use mysite.com/path the image shows up.

Nicola said there was some way to tell buddypress that it is no longer on the ‘root’ blog but in a subdomain, but we can’t remember how to do that.

What steps are involved to get buddypress to realize it’s now in a subdomain so that images will show up again?

–I found one post that said to add define(‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, ’30’); to the wp-config file so I did that.. yes 30 is the blog id# for community so that part is correct.

other than that, I could find no instructions anywhere here for installing into a subdomain.

please help

I just noticed http://community.anointed.net/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/1/500x500_sucker2-avatar1.jpg is missing image remove the community part and it shows up…..

however it’s still going to blog.dir ‘1’ instead of ’30’… i really think this is the problem but don’t know where to tell buddypress to use 30 instead if that is even the problem

@annointed, if I try …

http://community.anointed.net/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/1/500x500_sucker2-avatar1.jpg

…or…

http://anointed.net/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/1/500x500_sucker2-avatar1.jpg

…or…

http://community.anointed.net/wp-content/blogs.dir/30/files/avatars/1/500x500_sucker2-avatar1.jpg

…or…

http://anointed.net/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/1/500x500_sucker2-avatar1.jpg

…the avatar still doesn’t appear at all. Unless WordPress is hi-jacking the direct path somehow, I can’t manage to find that filename anywhere.

John:

yeah I tried uploading another avatar, so that link was invalidated. It does actually work removing the community. in the url.

Jeff:

thanks, I had no idea it was a known bug, I will let Nicola know that as well as he pretty much maintains my install for me,

I’m not sure it’s the same problem though as the ticket says: ‘subdirectories’ which I am not using, rather using subdomains…..

When using MU blogs as subdirectories and setting BP_ROOT_BLOG to anything but blog #1, a redirect loop is caused when trying to go to /blog-name/members/ and other BuddyPress URIs.

and yeah i had another ticket, but I had polluted it so much with other information, that I figured my question was no longer clear.

the ticket says to add code to the core:
```
if ( defined( 'BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG' ) || 1 != BP_ROOT_BLOG) {

/* If we are running BuddyPress on any blog, or not on the root blog, we need to first

shift off the blog name if we are running a subdirectory install of WPMU. */

if ( $current_blog->path != '/' )

array_shift( $bp_uri );

}
```
should I just add that code as it is to the top of bp-core.php?

I tried doing that but did not see any changes. I am guessing there must be more involved in the fix

Has bp been fixed to work in subdomains yet?

When it is fixed, how do I find out?

The BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG option works fine on my install using subdomains.
