Ok, I wasn’t clear enough:
I installed wpmu using subdomains.
I had Nicola install buddypress onto my main domain for mu. Then after seeing the roadmap and a few other notes, I decided to move buddypress from the foreground on the homepage to a subdomain so that I could use a production ready theme for my site.
I created a new blog ‘community’ and turned on the buddypress theme. I also went into bp-custom.php and inserted your code, replacing the X with the blog id# (I had also tried applying the code change to wp-config.php as well, did not work either)
Basically bp is not picking up the fact that it is now blog id #30 instead of blog id#1, hence the broken login and also the image upload problems that popped up after ‘moving’ bp off the root blog.
I hope this is more clear
Has bp been fixed to work in subdomains yet?
When it is fixed, how do I find out?
John:
I do not have any site-wide category plugins installed. Right now the only plugins I am using for testing until it is figured out is buddypress.
I did go into the ‘writing’ admin and change from uncategorized to another category, and then switched it back, saving both times.
Did not solve the problem.
The categories that are added seem to be completely random. Sometimes it adds the post to just one extra category and many other times it adds to multiple categories.
Is there any type of ‘advanced’ error reporting, or reporting of functions being used upon a ‘submit’ post action?
I’m thinking that if we can ‘capture’ all the events upon submission that maybe we could then track down the culprit. I know that years ago when I was working with postnuke, we had a cool custom hack that would print out all the functions being used no matter what you were trying to do. This was huge when it came to troubleshooting any possible error.
I’m guessing that something similar exists for Andy and the devs, as coding without a feature like that would be much more difficult than having an actual ‘functions called’ output etc…
thanks for assisting me with this. It’s one seriously annoying problem and has been very hard to track down.
I have tried this on 4 separate computers now and it continues to happen on every article on every blog I post to. I did turn off java as well and that made no difference.
any ideas where to start troubleshooting this problem?
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
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.
Digging even further:
When I go into the avatars folder on my server I can see the avatar after I upload it via ftp.
Even though no avatar shows up to crop if I click the crop button twice, it creates 2 images in my avatars folder. Those files are mostly black but I could see a corner of the picture it was going to crop.
Very strange.
the only thing that changed was moving bp to a subdomain as far as i can tell.
all plugins other than buddypress are deactivated, so no conflict there.
Here is a very strange issue:
when the image is uploaded, prior to cropping I can see the missing picture. It is pointing to
http://community.anointed.net/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/1/fallensoldier-450×327.jpg
If I remove the community. so it’s
http://anointed.net/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/1/fallensoldier-450×327.jpg
then the image shows up, of course not in the cropping page.
so it seems that the cropping tool does not like the community. subdomain
makes me guess there is some setting somewhere to change and tell bp that it’s in community.
any ideas?
well i copied the bp home theme to the themes directory and then chose that as my theme.
That seemed to fix all of the problems except one.
Now when I try to upload an avatar for my member acct, it says it uploads but there is no avatar to crop, just the crop tool.
(this was working perfectly prior to my moving buddypress to the subdomain)
is this a known problem?
While nowhere near as fancy as that site I have come across a couple of others.
http://www.airshowbuzz.com/ basically it’s just a photo/video sharing site focused on military planes.
One of my favorites is http://community.beliefnet.com/
While the layout is a bit of a mess imho, the functionality of this site never ceases to amaze me. You can seriously spend weeks digging through the beliefnet network as there is so much content.
Their blog portion http://www.beliefnet.com is actually layed out pretty well considering how many blogs they have. By using categories/subcategories for all blogs, along with ‘featured bloggers’ I have never had a hard time finding what I am looking for.
Wow, you weren’t kidding, that is one fantastic social setup. Now I’m really curious what software base they are using. Everything is tied together so perfectly, even the theme is beautiful, and very fitting for the site.
Is it possible with this plugin to have the user actually choose from a preselected sub-list of what tags they want to add?
Example:
1. I create category ‘church affiliation’
2. under that category I create sub-cats like
-catholic
-lutheran
-baptist
-etc
The user then selects ‘baptist’ so the tag ‘baptist’ is added to their group/blog. Then I could create a widget to display all the groups/blogs belonging to tag ‘baptist’… that would make it really easy to sort the members.
The reason I ask about sub-cats is because I am concerned that if they put in their own tag I could end up with either misspellings etc that would end up ‘orphaning’ the group/blog from that category.
There are only a ‘short list’ of categories that I want to ‘force’ the user to choose from such as above. There are many other categories that I would like to add, where user input of the tag itself is preferred, which is obviously the way the system seems to work now.
I can see a ‘future’ where I could somehow tie the category questions to a page the user is presented with after registration like many other sites do. That way from the get go I can sort brand new groups/blogs properly.
We already have something like I describe above for the members profile itself, just curious if this would work for groups/blogs as I don’t seem to find the same type of category choices when creating a new group/blog
thanks again for such a great plugin. I can really see using this one a lot!
Can I ask what this plugin does?
I went to your site, and read the same post, but am still uncertain as to what this plugin actually does.
Maybe give an example or two of ‘real world use’ ?
This would be fantastic!
same problem here, glad it was brought up, as it reminded me of another question which needs a new thread…
I just came across an absolutely amazing video module for drupal at
http://drupal.org/project/flashvideo
also a video showing how it works at
http://fleetthought.com/using-flashvideo-user-contributed-video-drupal-tutorial
After watching the video, I installed a drupal site onto a dev server with the plugin, and I have to say it’s absolutely fantastic. I don’t believe they missed anything with this plugin.
As we have the ‘framework’ for video for wordpress, I wonder how hard it would be to ‘adapt’ their code concept to wordpress. (Actually I’m kinda shocked that wordpress does not already have something better as wordpress community is huge)
thank you burt
Yes, I mean the activity stream on the buddypress homepage that shows updates whenever a person adds a blog post, forum post, posts to wire etc…
Basically I want to add posts from vbulletin there, and once I figure that part out, I can then extend it to audio/video updates from the other system.
if you want to use vidiscript you would need to have a bridge created for it. It’s the same type of process really. It is NOT an easy process unless you really, and I mean really understand php.
Just so my actual question doesn’t get lost in this:
I still need to know what files generate the wire, and the proper format to add information to the wire should anyone care to help out.
Gpo1:
Just like with vb, I had another commercial program ‘bridged’ to wordpress. What this means is that a person registers using vb, and is auto registered in wp db, as well as other programs. Logins are also unified, so only one login is required sitewide.
Within the bridge code for each program there are extra db fields created that sync everything together. This means that user ‘xyz’ for vb is also user ‘xyz’ for wp and other software.
What this allows me to do is virtually anything I want.
For instance:
I can actually query the database for user ‘xyz’, not only am I able to find everything user ‘xyz’ has done in wp/bp but also vb and other software.
Then say I want to display all the vb posts, video’s, photo’s, from user ‘xyz’ inside of buddypress. Well it’s easy to pull the data because the programs are synced.
Now it’s just a matter of bringing that info into bp, which is the reason I asked the question in the first place.
Hope this makes sense.
bueller bueller bueller LOLIs anyone able to help on this?
maybe it will be easier to understand if I phrase my question a different way.
what part of what file do I have to comment out in order to setup buddypress groups to ‘NOT’ create a group forum when the group is created?
I’m sorry for such a simple question, but I have spent the entire afternoon reading through the buddypress code and so far I cannot figure out what file creates the groups forums when a group is created.
I’m sure once I know, it’s gonna be one of those duhhh kinda answers LOL
A number of years ago I offered email to my users and in the end there were thousands of people using my servers for email, including spam bots.
Here is the biggest problem that I faced.
As there was so much ‘spam’ coming from my domains, I was blacklisted on aol, and yahoo, and a few others. To this day, I still cannot use those domains to send email to aol etc…. Once blacklisted, it seems to be forever.
While I think the idea is cool, I cannot see a reason that I would ever offer email to my users other than my admins/moderators for internal communication.
just my 2cents
yes, all seems to be working perfectly so far, thanks for reminding me
lol nevermind, turns out it was a custom feature from Nicola that I forgot to add back in
Not sure what the problem was, but Nicola managed to get it fixed for me. He’s my buddypress hero for sure.
I know that the theme didn’t change, and I’m sure php didn’t change as it’s my own dedicated server.
When he gets back online sometime I’ll find out what the error was just in case it happens to others so they can find the fix here.
