Guys I noticed that ticket was closed…

I seen you linked to another ticket that was the same, https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1641

I also see a file attached.

is that file a fix?

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

I think if installed/activated they shouldn’t even show up.

That would be nice.

I first used BuddyPress/WPMU in 2007 and I must admit this part of the software has come a long way. When I first started themes and templates were very limited. It’s nice to see this section with tons of themes now it’s really great.

The only reason I noticed this is because the comment love keeps messing up and I have to go in and re enter the url under the admin profile.

p.s linking my site in this forum has only brought me spam.

It seems to be staying now…

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

Yeah I’m talking about the URL spot. I save it and it keeps defaulting to my buddy press profile after a day or so.

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

Alright guys I’m pretty excited to get this fixed thanks so much for coming and posting here Andrea_r.

So when we say tracking this means were going to start watching for this issue?

how long does something need to be tracked before a fix is found normally?

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Andy,

This is all way beyond be.

Do you have any idea on how I can fix this issue?

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

After getting support from the wpmu team the issue might in fact be with buddy press.

Please see the thread at wpmu, https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/16374?replies=20

Final answer so far,

Brian, you’re facing a code issue it seems. Looking at the current trunk of BP anyway.

When BP generates the text for the “[time] ago” stuff, it passes a time string into a function in bp-core.php called bp_core_time_since.

In this function the date passed in is compared against a possible second value passed to the function. By default, that value is false.

When the value is false, it gets the current time as a numerical value (like using the time() function) for the current time as GMT using gmdate to create a date string, which is then converted to a numerical time value.

Here’s the problem. The time being passed into the function as the first parameter is the current server time, and not the GMT time. The second parameter to the function is not passed, thus defaulting to a false condition which then generates the value based on GMT.

The two times (older and newer as the vars are labeled) are then compared.

See the problem yet?

Yes, that’s right. It’s comparing one time to another, but they aren’t in the same timezone.

If is set as say, 7 hours behind GMT, the initial time passed into the function will be GMT -7. It then creates the current time as GMT without any offset to check against the time passed into the function.

So, no matter what you do, you’re already at a 7 hour difference within this function, and it will show something currently added to the activity as being 7 hours ago even though it just happened right now.

The times coming into this function either need to be in GMT, or when the time to compare against is created, it needs to be the server time.

Whichever happens, they need to both be in the same timezone so that 5 seconds ago is 5 seconds ago.

In summary, you don’t have a server problem, or an install problem. It’s a BP problem somewhere.

Thanks mercime that looks like it might work.

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

This is turning out to be the issue of the year for me…

Apparently there is no fix either

Any suggestions?

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

I also noticed changing the time in the general settings section doesn’t affect the mian site.

I posted a wire message testing @ -1 and it said posted 7 hours ago.

I posted a wire message testing @ -7 and it said posted 7 hours ago.

Just thought it might be important to know that.

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

Where can we download a working version of this for the newest wpmu and buddy press?

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

ok so currently it’s not an option to have that bar on other blogs outside of our website?

Thanks for the help by the way

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

I just need the code for the top menu bar….. so members outside blogging on self hosted blogs can also add it to their website.

I’m using the latest version of buddy press.

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

Do you know how to make my website all DO FOLLOW?

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

I’m still showing some links as NO FOLLOW

how do I make the entire website DO FOLLOW

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

When a user posts in a group forums it will say posted 29 minutes but on the mian site is says 7 hours, 29 minutes ago

Any suggestions

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

The system time is Arizona time.

I don’t know what I should be asking them.

But right now it’s set to I think Central time or wherever Arizona is.

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

Yes I was talking about adding Google code to the template they selected to use on their buddy press wpmu blog.

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

Also take note I just posted an article and it went behind a few older activities saying it’s more then 14 hours old but its’ not I just wrote it.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

Something I have also taken note of is as follows.

I get a member sign up e-mail but when I get to the website is saying member registers 7 hours ago.

But I only got the e-mail now.

Perhaps that will help figure out the issue?

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

I’m currently running You are using WordPress MU 2.9.1. I had an update after I added that information.,

Sorry about that and thanks for the suggestion.

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

I’m sorry if I got hot headed here guys but I really need your help fixing this issue. This project is important to me and I want it to be a success.

Please and thanks

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

I’m using the plugin that is found by “adding new plugins” in wordpress.

[@bbrian017 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

Still waiting for some help here! I would like to solve this issue and get my website running as it should be!
