In fact, this already works. Check http://testbp.org/groups/

Which version?

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 1 month ago]

This is a bug, I’ll fix it tomorrow.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 1 month ago]

Looks like its the subdirectory messing things up, can you add a bug for this and write what you have about in it? Thanks.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 1 month ago]

@diegorodrigues from your other thread it looks like you do not have bbPress installed at all.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 1 month ago]

Looks like you do not have bbpress installed where expected. Make sure you have a copy of bbPress in plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 1 month ago]

@Robert: Are you running a subdir or subdomain WPMU install? Do you have WPMU in a subdirectory on your server?

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 1 month ago]

@Nfzgrld: WPMU 2.8.4 only please.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 1 month ago]

Have you set up bbPress in wp-admin > BuddyPress > Forums setup? Did you download and put bbPress in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/ ?

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 1 month ago]

Create a child theme, you have a lot more control and your theme will update when the parent updates. Ignore the skeleton theme it no longer takes advantage of the new things in 1.1

Your other option is to duplicate bp-sn-parent, but this should only be done if you are changing most of the template files and your design cannot be achieved by CSS changes alone.

If you are getting DB errors you must clear these up before reporting anything else.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 1 month ago]

About private/hidden forums, will topics made in these forums show up on the main BP forums page for group members who are a part of those forums?

As it stands, no. This may change if I can work out a way that doesn’t require a slow query.

Also about bbPress plugins, would it be possible to somehow take advantage of bbPress’ existing plugins and use them in the BP forums environment?

Possibly if you place them in mu-plugins, but you don’t have the bbPress backend.

Or would we need to port some of these plugins over by adding the appropriate filters/actions that BP forums uses?

I would try and port some if you’re up for a challenge.

Just don’t put the fields in the “base/first” profile field group. Only the fields in that group will show on the signup page.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 1 month ago]

If you are not providing users direct access to your bbPress forums, then you can delete your bbPress files, if you are then leave them alone. You do not need the buddypress-enable.php file anymore.

I can’t speak for plugins, but if the forums in question are attached to private groups then they will not show up. They will remain hidden in the new directory when accessed through BuddyPress.

If you are not running a highly customized bbPress install, definitely consider using the new forums directory instead of a separate bbPress setup. The integration is seamless and requires no messing with cookies, integration settings/plugins.

The situation can be summed up like this:

The BuddyPress 1.0 theme structure made it easy for existing WordPress sites to use BuddyPress out of the box (but only with the default theme which was never ideal). However, it made life very difficult for anyone designing a site from scratch with BuddyPress, and for 3rd party theme designers.

BuddyPress 1.1 makes it harder (but still very possible) for existing WordPress sites and themes to use BuddyPress, but makes it very easy for sites starting fresh and for 3rd party theme designers.

The number of people starting sites fresh using BuddyPress significantly outweighs the number of people trying to use BuddyPress within an existing WordPress setup. It is only logical to make the lives of the majority easier.

There will be more documentation on using BuddyPress with existing WordPress installations and themes once 1.1 is released. Let’s get it out there first.

On a side note – I’d really love to see existing WordPress theme designers coming out with BuddyPress theme extensions for their WordPress themes. This for me is the ideal scenario, let the top theme designers provide support for BuddyPress, rather than the end users trying to force a square peg in a round hole.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

I’m hoping to get a beta out today, but if not it will be in the next couple of days. Then 2 weeks of testing then a final at the end of the month if nothing major crops up.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

Things are going to break for a while here as this site runs the trunk of BuddyPress. Until I can go back and work on backwards compat you are going to see a few minor issues.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

This is not normal, please report this sort of thing in trac.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

It bans the user from rejoining that group until you unban them.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

you can’t include URL’s either.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

WP_CONTENT_URL

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

This used to be possible with CSV files, but the code was old and not that great so I’ve removed it for now.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

<?php include( WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/themes/bphome/feeds/feeds.php' ) ?>

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

Yes, the load_template calls need to be replaced with locate_template calls. I will fix this shortly.
