The theme you are using is not a BuddyPress enabled theme, that’s probably why. They also have support forums, you should probably ask them why their themes are broken.

Install firebug in Firefox and check for page load JS errors.

<?php echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( 'item_id=' . get_the_author_id() . '&type=full&width=125&height=125' ) ?>

BuddyPress 1.1.x only.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years ago]

Should be fixed.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years ago]

Should be a simple fix.

I’ll be there and interested to hear people’s ideas. If there ends up being a spare slot on the track on Saturday we could even use that for an open discussion. Drinks will happen Saturday night regardless.

You can do this with CSS in your theme, anyone care to write the styles needed? It should be as simple as switching a top: 0 to bottom: 0 and making sure the menus pop up and not down.

The scheduling doesn’t seem to work properly, it should fetch twice a day. I don’t have time to look into this right now, but anyone interested in debugging?

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years ago]

You can turn it off completely with:

define( "BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR', true );

in your wp-config.php.

In the group’s admin page, disable the forum, then re-enable it.

Be sure to look into the filtering options on the activity loop:

I’ve updated the skeleton component to 1.3.1 with the fix, you should be able to download the new version in about 15mins from now.

Don’t be fooled by the forums. Forums for software are always going to be full of people with problems, it’s just the nature of the beast. People who set up BuddyPress and are happy with it don’t post. People only come here when they have a problem.

Generally most of the issues brought up here are user/hosting created. If I see anything that I think is an actual bug, I investigate or ask for it to be added to trac. This is not a high percentage of threads.

BuddyPress is moving forward quite quickly, 1.1 broke a lot of early development because a lot of forward thinking changes were made. This is new software and it can’t be held back right out of the gate to support older code. Most of the plugins that are broken can be fixed with a few function changes.

I can’t speak for any other platforms, but remember, the rabbit never wins the race. Boonex/Dolphin is certainly not without its development problems.

If you’re looking for direction, then the roadmap is a good place to start. Or you can talk in IRC to people who are helping with development: #buddypress-dev on Freenode.

Best of all, start taking bugs and fixing them and submitting patches. If you’re not a developer then consider writing some documentation, or helping out in the forums with experiences. Community is the most important thing.

@javicarrasco: a shared server is not going to cut it, if that’s what you’re using? Also take a look at caching options if you are running on low end hardware: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/improving-performance/

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years ago]

Just use the activity loop in your template with filters:

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( 'object=blogs&action=new_blog_comment' ) ) : ?>

Using those filters the stream will only show blog comments made across the entire site.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years ago]

It depends if you have optcode caching (something like eAccellerator or Xcache) installed on your server. Highly recommend that you install either one of those if you don’t have it. Memory usage will reduce dramatically.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years ago]

Private messages?

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years ago]

You must be friends with the users for autocomplete to work. No friends == no autocomplete.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years ago]

This is fixed in 1.1.2.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years ago]

BuddyPress is certainly not bug free, what software is? However most of the errors you have mentioned here are more than likely installation problems. You should never under any circumstance get a white screen with general use.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years ago]

Nice work!

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years ago]

wp-login.php should not redirect to wp-signup.php without some sort of user interaction. Is this what is happening?

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years ago]

function custom_html() { ?>

<strong>My custom HTML</strong><?php

}

add_action( 'bp_custom_signup_steps', 'custom_html' );

I’m in Ireland because my GF is in medical school here.

Please create a defect ticket for this and explain anything you have found. It must be a container CSS ID conflict or something.
