Ha! I remembered your conversation with Andy about that Brad and I looked in trac and could’t find it. Scroll down and there you are.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

I think you’ll have to unhook some filter mechanisms for html fields. Maybe. While I’m looking at the field types and the import mechanism I’ll look at that too.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

Ya, Brad is inventing group custom templates. Andy was way ahead of us though with the db theme/stylesheet config options. Just need to pay attention to that spot. The group templates is a killer idea.

I can’t think of any product that has as much potential as bp. I can’t think of any current project that people get fired up over like they do bp. The fun is just beginning.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

Nope. That might be the issue. I’ll look at all the different field types and see what could go wrong. Thanks John. Good idea.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

I ran across something similar.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/art-direction/

Allows ‘per blog post’ custom css. Cool.

In the case of bp the css gets queued up on a very selective basis. This is from bp-groups-cssjs.php in /mu-plugins/bp-groups:

function groups_add_structure_css() {

/* Enqueue the structure CSS file to give basic positional formatting for components */

wp_enqueue_style( ‘bp-groups-structure’, site_url( MUPLUGINDIR . ‘/bp-groups/css/structure.css’ ) );

}

add_action( ‘bp_styles’, ‘groups_add_structure_css’ );

We got actions too. Hook ‘bp_styles’ and define an override for the defaults. You might have a problem getting it in the sequence properly.

function my_custom_group_css(){

// check if the file exists and if it does queue it up

‘group-custom-‘ . $bp->groups->slug . ‘.css’

}

add_action(‘bp_styles’, ‘my_custom_group_css’, 99);

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

ciao Giovanni! Thanks, I was curious about that too.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

Howdy, John. lol, ya me too. Blame Andy. It’s his fault. I kept looking at the simplicity of the solution and going “Nah. Can’t be that easy”. The only major restriction I’ve found is that the taxnonomy names such as ‘post_tag’ and ‘category’ are limited to 32 chars. It’s a varchar(32) field in the table.

<group>-<tag>-<transformers-are-truly-awesome-here-in-north-america-in-the-month-of-march>

Won’t work.

Looks like it’s going to be a ‘tiny url’ solution to that one. It just so happens that the fn md5() in php returns a 32 char hash value. I don’t think that is a coincidence.

This ‘new members’ feed you are talking about is interesting. The activities of new members for a period of time would be useful. It could provide ‘old’ members a pointer to where the new members need help. New people always feel left out no matter what the environment. Hilighting their activity to introduce themselves, whether they like it or not, is a cool idea.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

Everything in /mu-plugins that relates to bp should be 755.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

Not sure what you mean. You want to create a different role system or just create a ‘visitor’ account? There’s a plugin called ‘role manager’ that might do what you want.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

That would be nice. It could include members activity, forum activity, wire activity. Ya, nice idea. Why don’t you post it in trac as an enhancement ticket?

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

Not at the moment. It’s in the works though. See: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1304

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

ism_267, yes that might make it work. bp changed the global var $bp from an array to an object and all plugins broke. If you’re running a plugin that is written for RC-1 and you are running anything less than that. Things don’t work.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

Hah! I see that little snippet of code all over the place now. Like the term ‘buddybar’ which is coming back to haunt me.

I created another little snippet for somebody in the forums, which restricts the user to one blog per customer. Something like the 5 line thing above. Now on my dev server *I* can’t get more than one blog created because I’ve forgotten where I put the damn thing.

Topic authors. Please turn off the lights when you leave the room. The big red one. Are we done here? If you are just going to chat please turn off the light. It’s more cozy that way.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

We’re running a little behind here John. At least I am.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

Sure you can. It’s just a theme like any other theme.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

javi95 is this topic’s issue resolved? If it is, please turn off the red light by switching the topic’s status to ‘resolved’.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

You got it right. That’s the purpose of bpContents.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

Hi John, that spot is where all the xprofile group and fields for each group get stuffed into an array for transport. If some of the data is extremely large for some reason it could give you memory problems.

I’ve asked a couple of other people to give 0.31 a try. I don’t know what to tell ya guy. I’m using all the above when it comes to software versions you listed.

I usually run the latest svn trunk but I don’t think that could be the cause of the problem.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

I’ve posted an overview of the project specs here: http://code.ourcommoninterest.org/2009/03/05/bpcontents-tags-everywhere-for-everything/

Comments are welcome either here or there.

Remind me again what isn’t happening when you do bbGroups import all. I’m getting sidetracked by details.

The *all* users option doesn’t work? You can see what the params to the xmlrpc method call by changing $client->debug = false; to true in oci_bb_xmlrpc_query(). Then in the fn oci_bp_group_forums_import() there is a debug line under the query call. Change that to just die();

Both of those fns are in oci_bb_group_forums.php on the bbpress side.

What you’ll see are the params to the method call: username, password and ‘1’ for all users. Underneath it will display the xml result that you get back. One long string with all the groups and user data in xml format.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

Hmmm.

xmlrpc query from bbpress happens

xmlrpc query gets to wp

xmlrpc.php does include(wp-load.php)

wp-load.php does require_once(wp-config.php)

wp-config.php does require_once(wp-settings.php)

We are now in wp and it’s fired up.

wp services the xmlrpc request

We’re back in bbpress.

That’s what happens during an import from bbGroups.

During that process, at the beginning, in bbpress oci_bb_group_forums.php class.ixr.php is loaded because:

if (defined(BACKPRESS_PATH))

require_once( BACKPRESS_PATH . ‘/class.ixr.php’ );

We get to wp loading plugins and in oci_bp_group_forums.php we get to:

if (!defined(BBDB_NAME))

require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/class-IXR.php’);

and class.ixr.php is not loaded again.

That should work. I’m not sure what isn’t working on your side.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 8 months ago]

Hello, well it seems you are still experiencing intermittent problems with your bp/bbpress install. These are always fun to debug. You are covering alot of ground explaining things and I’d like to narrow things down.

Lets play with two users and two groups. Site admin will be one user and pick any other existing user. Pick any existing group that has forums enabled and create a new group with forums enabled.

1) Using existing group, site admin test posting FROM BP

2) Using existing group, other user test posting FROM BP

3) Using new group, site admin test posting FROM BP

4) Using new group, other user test posting FROM BP

5) Using existing group, site admin test posting FROM BBPRESS

6) Using existing group, other user test posting FROM BBPRESS

7) Using new group, site admin test posting FROM BBPRESS

Using new group, other user test posting FROM BBPRESS

‘test posting’ means new topic and reply in that topic
