Good call, I’ve changed the title, it was confusing.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

The directories should work on any theme when you browse to the URL.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

it will link anything shorter than 5 words and anything between commas, 5 words or less.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

make sure the blogs are set as public, not private.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

Also – you can post enhancement tickets in trac like this. There is more chance that it will get noticed and changed if it’s in there.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

Nice.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

Make sure you fill in all fields on the first page when creating the group. They are all required fields.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

You’ll need more than three members registered for it to work. They must have at least their full name and a piece of profile data filled out. The featured groups, members and blogs are simply a random selection.

I hope people can understand what I say.

r796+ lets you send messages to any user with their username and bypass the auto complete. The auto complete will still only complete on full names and profile data right now, not usernames.

You should just be able to update the bp-messages component if you are not using SVN.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

Gogoplanta – so I’m correct in understanding that the autocomplete is not working at all for you, not for friends or anyone?

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

You must type the users name, their username will not autocomplete.

If it does not autocomplete you can’t send the message. It must autocomplete for the message to send.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

Best way is to do it like this (for the logged in user):

----

echo $bp['loggedin_domain'] . $bp['profile']['slug'];

echo $bp['loggedin_domain'] . $bp['messages']['slug'];

echo $bp['loggedin_domain'] . $bp['friends']['slug'];

echo $bp['loggedin_domain'] . $bp['groups']['slug'];

echo $bp['loggedin_domain'] . $bp['wire']['slug'];

echo $bp['loggedin_domain'] . $bp['activity']['slug'];

----

If you put that code inside a function, make sure you global $bp; at the top.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

Oh – and the messaging MUST autocomplete, you can’t send on a username. The interface perhaps needs to change for this – maybe clearing the username box on blur of the input.

It will only autocomplete on friends – the only way to send messages to a random user is to view their profile and hit the “send message” link. Auto completing on all site users is not feasible.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

Strange you are seeing these problems, I decided to set up a fresh install WPMU 2.6.x and the BuddyPress combo beta1.

Firstly, the auto-complete doesn’t just complete on user’s names – it actually finds users based on their profile data too. Try it. It’s confusing and probably shouldn’t be like that, but I just reused the member search function for now. That should clear that up.

I tried creating two users and making them friends, the auto complete seemed to work both on Firefox and Safari. Are you using IE6? I can’t confirm it works in IE6, but I definitely got it working in IE7 before I tagged the beta.

Group creation seemed to work fine, when not uploading an group avatar, actually uploading an avatar – and also both with and without inviting friends. I did notice that two finish buttons displayed with the invite link, this is definitely a bug.

All I can really say is – try clearing your browser cache – perhaps you have old JS cached? I did change the messaging JS to a PHP file that dynamically loads some variables and then sends as a JS file. If you are using IE6 – don’t. Not with the beta.

Hopefully not everyone else is getting these problems, otherwise we’re going to see beta 2 pretty quickly.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

Working on the search.

Can you post this in trac please? There are already functions to do this, they just need to be called on particular activity hooks. https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

Check permissions – make sure everything BuddyPress is 755.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

set permissions on files in buddypress-member/css they are still returning 404s.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

Make sure the permissions are correct on the css files and js files.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

There was a bug with blog signups where they would be private not public. This has been fixed today. That would explain your second problem. The first I’m not sure, has anyone else experienced this?

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 10 months ago]

Any recommendations on how the installation instructions can be updated to help people get this working easier (based on what is known now)?

I’d like to update them ready for tomorrow.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 11 months ago]

It’s entirely permissions. Make sure everything in the theme and any JS/CSS in buddypress is 755.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 11 months ago]

Please uncomment line 462 of bp-forums-bbpress-live.php

//var_dump( $client->message, $client->error ); die;

Then try and view or post in the forums.

Can you then paste when you get in here (minus anything sensitive)

Thanks

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 11 months ago]

Not allowing blogs is as simple as turning that off in Site Admin > Options and then not installing the bp-blogs component. That will remove the blogs directory and all blog items from the navigation.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 11 months ago]

Okay – are people downloading the alpha zip of bbPress form bbpress.org?

If so – it will not work, as it does not contain some needed new functions in the trunk.

I’m talking with Sam and he is going to update the zip file to the latest. For now – please check out bbpress trunk for subversion and use that. Let me know if that works.
