In reply to: RC-1 – admin-bar-menu acting weird?
This is happening on all bp sites. Just tried somebody elses. @egerrits i’ve noticed that little gap too. The menu starts flashing and vibrating there if you hit it just right.
This is driving me nuts. I’m just gonna post this and point to this thread.
bp isn’t seeing group forum topics created in bbpress? It should. If you can create a topic in a group forum from the bp side it should show in the bbpress side. If you create a topic in that same forum on the bbpress side it should show in the group forum as a new topic on the bp side.
This is just standard bp/bbpress. Has nothing to do with bbGroups plugin. That’s not happening?
In reply to: messaging errorI did find some threads about that type of msg in my googling around. They all seemed to have somthing to do with a plugin that was hooking the url resolution mechanism. Got any anti-spam plugins?
As a matter of fact these errors only occurred in the admin area of wp.
In reply to: Plugin Developers: Changes around $bp globalI haven’t had problems with $bp->loggedin_user->id. I had problems with the old $bp which is now $bp->displayed_user->id. It wasn’t really a problem it was my lack of understanding at first, what it represented and when it was available. It was only valid when the user was in the member theme.
Exactly where and when is $bp->loggedin_user->id becoming invalid?
In reply to: RC-1 – admin-bar-menu acting weird?Yep. This is definitely a trac item. I thought it was getting goofy because I had so many items listed. Like under ‘My Blogs’ I have 12 of them. (I like to talk alot). I disabled the flyouts like ‘Dashboard’ and it’s still doing it. I think it might have to do with detecting the sweetspot.
I’ll post it.
Still doing it in the latest trunk. I think it has to do with where you stop moving the mouse. If it isn’t on a chunk of text it seems to disappear? We gotta get this nailed down.
“It don’t work sometimes” isn’t really enough to post.
In reply to: Possible to get BuddyPress stock image fileOriginal bp theme file? If you are talking about some kinda original Photoshop images then you’d have to talk to Andy about that.
If bp group forums posts aren’t showing then ya gotta take a look at why.
If you just ‘disable’ the forum then all you are doing is hiding the forum interface in the group from group members. No, it doesn’t do anything on the bbpress side either. The forum is still there. I’m not sure what the utility is for having the enable/disable ability.
The buddypress user in Site Admin > bbPress Forums area is talking about the user that you create for bp/bbpress integration. The purpose of that user is to have a valid user on the bbpress side that has ‘forum creation’ rights. So it has to be an administrator role in bbpress.
I’m not sure who the ‘original admin user’ you are talking about is.
In reply to: Featured members includes deleted membersWhere exactly did you delete these users? I went into the mu backend site admin > users and killed somebody. Gone. They don’t show in the members widget and haven’t shown yet in featured members (which is just random members). If somebody is a user on a blog that is not the root blog and you delete them, that doesn’t delete them from wpmu.
In reply to: “BuddyPress” logo on the top left hand sideHowdy, that logo seems to live in css and you can override it by changing this:
#header h1 a {
text-indent: -999em;
background: url(../images/logo.gif) top left no-repeat;
overflow: hidden;
width: 214px;
height: 35px;
display: block;
float: left;
}
line in /themes/buddypress-home/css/base.css. You really don’t want to change it, you really want to create a file in that same directory as base.css and call it site-wide.css
Make your override mods there. There’s a file in there called site-wide-sample.css that explains it.
In reply to: messaging errorCan you be more specific as to the error message please? ‘Cannot load XXX’ doesn’t seem to be associated with any error message in bp or wpmu that I can find.
In reply to: Announcing BuddyPress Group Forums for bbPressI see your problem with the avs and names. Only suggestion I have is to write a little script that stuffs default names and avs for your users. bp just uses the gravatar’esqe identicons, wavatars and such for non uploaded avs.
This function here might help you out: bp_core_get_avatar() in /bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php
These lines in that fn do the default av for a user:
$ud = get_userdata($user);
$grav_option = get_site_option('user-avatar-default');
if ( empty( $grav_option ) ) {
$default_grav = 'wavatar';
} else if ( 'mystery' == $grav_option ) {
$default_grav = site_url( MUPLUGINDIR . '/bp-core/images/mystery-man.jpg');
} else {
$default_grav = $grav_option;
}
$gravatar = 'https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/' . md5( $ud->user_email ) . '?d=' . $default_grav . '&s=';One little thing I noticed on your site. I have some debug info in the forum list that appends the forum_id. It’s still in there.

My Favorite Forum (9)
Where (9) is the forum_id.
It’s in line 110 of oci_bb_custom.php
<?php forum_name(); echo ' (' . $forum->forum_id . ')'; ?></a><br />You can take out the echo ‘ (‘. $forum->forum_id . ‘) ‘; stuff if you want.
One thing. The new post info and event only gets sent over to bp if the group forum is a ‘public’ group forum. Non group forum activity is ignored as is private and hidden group forums. Sitewide activity doesn’t get updated for the private and hidden stuff in bp.
Can’t send over the ‘open’/’community’ forum posts because the sitewide activity has to be associated with a group.
John, the posts in bbpress should show in sitewide activity. If they are not then something isn’t working right. I did hook the bbpress topic and post creation and send them over to bp and stuff them in activity. I see such things showing in my sitewide activity. So should you.
Lemme know.
In reply to: Announcing BuddyPress Group Forums for bbPressHi John. Glad it’s working for you.
I’m kinda confused. You’re talking about bbGroups plugin, the bbpress template that runs on my forums now or bp?
We’ve got several things you are mentioning:
username, nicename and full name
avatars
If you are talking about my template for bbpress then what you see is what I got at the moment. Nothing held back. That bbpress template was really just a toy to get some bp goodies showing in bbpress. Just an experiment. I was and still am using it to test code and ideas.
In reply to: RSS widget bug?Hi Mike. RSS widget? We got one of those? I don’t really understand the nature of the problem guy. More info please.
In reply to: Any solutions on blank Member theme?Oh boy am I getting milage out of this link today.
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/using-the-buddypress-themes/
wuhudo, your confusion is absolutely normal. You should have been involved near the beginning of all this BP stuff. It took a week for the ‘non-blogcentric nature’ headache of BP to wear off slightly.
We just aren’t in Kansas anymore Toto.

In reply to: ‘Recent Posts’ widget modificationThe recent blog posts widget lives here:
/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-widgets.php
In reply to: Modify BP linksWhat links keep going back to the root domain that you think should not? You have to be specific otherwise I’m not going to understand.
In reply to: Any solutions on blank Member theme?The bp member theme is not a standard wp theme. It should not be in the /themes directory at all. You can’t activate it and use it as a wp theme. Only the bp home theme can be used like that.
In reply to: Theme not showing correct template fileI just ran a little test and bp is using single.php. In the functions.php file for the home theme there is a fn called bp_show_home_blog() which is where it detects what to load. Yours should look like this:
function bp_show_home_blog() {
global $bp, $query_string;
if ( $bp->current_component == HOME_BLOG_SLUG ) {
$pos = strpos( $query_string, ‘pagename=’ . HOME_BLOG_SLUG );
if ( $pos !== false )
$query_string = preg_replace( ‘/pagename=’ . HOME_BLOG_SLUG . ‘/’, ”, $query_string );
query_posts($query_string);
$single_check = strpos( $query_string, ‘&name=’ );
if ( $single_check === false )
bp_core_load_template( ‘index’, true );
else
bp_core_load_template( ‘single’, true );
}
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_show_home_blog’, 2 );
In reply to: Does BuddyPress have a General Forum?Ok this conversation is being continued here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1252
So I’m closing this.
In reply to: Upgraded and BP now completely SporkedOK to close this topic guys?
In reply to: Announcing BuddyPress Group Forums for bbPressDoes nothing to remove it. It’s kinda like a mattress tag.
I complained about that and Andy put a filter in there for group creation. We can override the forum name that gets created and the description I think.
In reply to: Announcing BuddyPress Group Forums for bbPress@john, I included some template tags in the bbGroups package that demonstrates some of that theme’s use of bp centric features. I didn’t include the forums feature because it was specific to the theme. I’ll just zip up that theme and post it on my blog for you to look at the code. Gimme a few.
OK. It’s here: http://ourcommoninterest.org/downloads/oci.zip
You should just be able to unzip that in my-templates. One thing though. bbPress doesn’t seem to have a functions.php file that gets run in each theme/template as wp does. So I had all the template specific code being launched from my oci_bb_group_forums.php plugin. I’ve got all the template code living in oci_bb_custom.php so it get loaded up automatically. I included my oci_bb_custom.php file in the template zip. Just drop that in my-plugins and it’ll be loaded by the bbGroups plugin in bbpress.
If you look at the front-page.php file you’ll see how the forum list is generated.
<?php oci_forum_list('open', 'Community Forums', false); ?>
<?php oci_forum_list('readonly', 'Group Forums', true); ?>
<?php oci_forum_list('hidden', 'Private Forums', true); ?>That fn is a little out of date. I used to have an option in there to generate identicon avatars for all forums. Even the forums that weren’t bp related. I took that capability out. What it does do now is display avs for the currently logged in user’s groups only.
