In reply to: Rec Blog Posts widgets causes error
I got a message from you on your site that all is well again so I’m closing this topic. Glad to see things are working again.
In reply to: Members widget shows oldest members, not newestIt seems to be working for me. Shows most recently registered users first.
In reply to: Fixed: showing buttons in IE tooI see what you are saying. The little pill shaped graphics buttons are missing. Thanks. I’ll post this in trac.
In reply to: Installing BBPressYou would have better luck getting an answer to this one over at the bbPress forums. Lots of threads concerning this issue over there. You aren’t the only one with this problem.
In reply to: Registration Page, no extended fieldsFirst suggestion is to upgrade to the latest bp which is RC-1. If you can do that and then report back please.
In reply to: Modify BP linksIf I understand you correctly you have mu installed with the subdomain option and you want to run the bp home theme on a subdomain. That’s not a problem. Just activate it for that subdomain’s blog.
That’s about all I understand in your question or problem.
In reply to: Rec Blog Posts widgets causes errorOK. I’ve got a login on your site now. Can you point me to the Recent Blog Posts widget that is giving you problems. I didn’t see it running when I visited your site. The problem you are describing isn’t a common one Bill. That text you describe showing up %BEG_OF_TITLE%, just shouldn’t *ever* be seen in mu. Can’t figure out how it is. Maybe if I take a look at the environment that plugin is running in I can get a clue.
In reply to: Announcing BuddyPress Group Forums for bbPressThis is for sites that want to use bbPress as it was intended. As a forum. bbPress is designed to be that. The feature set of vertical software is more rich than horizontal software. bbPress does things now that bp doesn’t do and may never do.
I like having a forum interface to bbPress in bp. I’d like to see a blog interface also. I don’t expect the feature set to be the same.
It’s wonderful that bp has a forum interface since I think that forums are an extremely important part of social software. People who get together in groups like to talk. I think that the tools we use to communicate can constrain or enable that communication.
The purpose of bbGroups is to extend bp’s native strengths.
In reply to: Announcing BuddyPress Group Forums for bbPressHey John. I was just going to suggest on the other thread that we move any discussion to here. You’re way ahead of me.
Keep banging on it.
There are things that have been left out intentionally. Lack of time. Don’t know what to do with certain things. Certain areas in bp haven’t been fully developed yet.
In reply to: Announcing BuddyPress Group Forums for bbPressI’m gonna. Gotta do some things first.
In reply to: Does BuddyPress have a General Forum?I like your attitude John. You’re so laid back. Hardly anything gets you excited.
In reply to: Does BuddyPress have a General Forum?Try this one. I just changed the fn names on the bbpress side to be unique and wrapped a couple of fns in if(function_exists()) that I know are mu fns.

In reply to: Does BuddyPress have a General Forum?ok. Thanks John. Gimme a few and I’ll change the fn names to be unique on both sides.
In reply to: Does BuddyPress have a General Forum?You probably will be John. You posted 16 minutes ago:

I haven’t even done an announcement message yet.
In reply to: Does BuddyPress have a General Forum?Update: working on final packaging and documentation for BuddyPress Group Forums for bbPress. Still some features that need to be added but testing in other environments is more important. Should have it done by the end of the day.
In reply to: bbpress themeI’m developing a theme for bbpress that is more bp centric but it’s not going to look like the bp themes. There’s gonna be lots of new themes being developed for bbpress soon.
In reply to: bbpress themeIt doesn’t exist yet people. What an opportunity!
In reply to: Does BuddyPress have a General Forum?Right now I’m not sure how to handle the group deletion on the bbpress side. I can delete the forum if the group gets deleted ya. However, when I thought about it I decided to let the site admin/keymaster handle that now manually. The situation I thought of was a group admin gets bent out of shape, deletes the group and there goes a huge group asset if I just blindly kill the forum. So that action in bp is just being ignored now.
The only major problem I have now is that group join/leave in the group directories doesn’t work. Doesn’t even join/leave the group much less do what it’s supposed to in xmlrpc to talk to bbpress. It works in the member theme fine. Some sort of conflict in that context I have to track down.
In reply to: Does BuddyPress have a General Forum?I have this plugin up and running. Here’s the way it works. You install a plugin on the bp and the bbpress side, import your existing groups and group users into bbpress. That creates forum and user meta data in bbpress that allows group forums to operate there as expected.
Part of the package is a live link using xmlrpc to do two things.
1. Keep the forum and user meta data updated for changes in bp. New groups, group status changes, users joining/leaving groups, user promotion/demotion/ban.
2. New topics and replies created in bbpress need to show up in the bp activity stream and trigger actions over there.
I’ve got the import done and the link from bp to bbpress in xmlrpc running. I’m working on the bbpress to bp link now. Should have the bbpress to bp link done by today or tomorrow.
Then I need to test it on my linux server and let interested others give it a whirl on their development servers. That’s where things stand.
In reply to: Does BuddyPress have a General Forum?Thanks. It’ll get released as beta. Working hard to get it done for the bp 1.0 release date.
In reply to: Does BuddyPress have a General Forum?At the moment yes. Things are as you describe. I’ve got a little plugin coming out when bp goes 1.0 that integrates bp group forums and bbpress. bp Public groups will be readonly in bbpress except for group members. Private and Hidden groups will have their forums hidden in bbpress except for group members. Group admins and moderators will have forum moderation capabilities in bbpress.
In reply to: Your thoughts on this setup…ib0189, what you describe is possible. You can use a wp theme for the main blog and the bp home theme for all other blogs in mu. You just need to restrict your user’s selection to the bp home theme only and somehow make it the default. The plugin that awarner20 mentioned works. Also in Site Admin > Themes just disable everything except the home theme.
In reply to: Does BuddyPress have a General Forum?All users in bp/mu can post to any forum in bbpress with user integration.
