We could use a link to your site, the version of bp what theme you are using. Have you looked at your issue with firebug? http://getfirebug.com/

[Mon Jun 22 01:48:49 2009] [error] [client 69.242.205.122] PHP Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /var/www/vhosts/ourcommoninterest.org/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-signup.php on line 257

I have registrations disabled. Bunches of warnings like that right after some cracking attempt to run a php file that doesn’t exist on my system. Not all of the warnings are attempts to run files such as ‘approved_checks.php’ though some are after msgs like this:

Sat Jun 20 23:09:13 2009] [error] [client 66.249.71.195] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use ‘LimitInternalRecursion’ to increase the limit if necessary. Use ‘LogLevel debug’ to get a backtrace.

It is always right after one or the other though.

No idea what the issue is yet but yes I’m getting that also. I just have a plain default install of bp and wpmu.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

I’m not aware of anyone who has been successful using bbpress rc* for group forums. I gave it a shot and couldn’t seem to figure out the problem in the time I had available. bbpress 1.0 alpha 6 works.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

The alpa 3 release is going to happen here soon. It will initially only support tags and will not be backwardly compatible with prior releases. The UI will be very similar but the core has changed significantly. The hierarchical categories is scheduled for later.

A reminder that relying on alpha release code is really not a good idea on a production site.

Create a file called bp-custom.php in /wp-content/plugins put your slug mods there. This gets loaded everytime bp loads.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

This hasn’t been reported by others. There have been a couple of ‘The bp themes are missing and it’s showing /themes in the bp backend instead of /bp-themes.’

Reinstall of wpmu/bp seems to solve the issue. Haven’t been able to track it down.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Is it in trac? Discussing it here is great. Everybody knows it’s an issue and perhaps someone will track down the bug and submit a ticket with a patch. It doesn’t get remembered if it’s not in trac.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

The theme is missing the call <?php wp_footer() ?> in it’s footer.php file.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

What blog are you on and what is the url that breaks when you select one of the directories? What exactly is the error message? Did this work before? What theme is this?

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

A blank page is an error happing. Check your error logs.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

bp, wpmu versions. themes being used?

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

You get to have one or the other basically. It doesn’t cause conflicts, they both can’t be occupying the same space.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Well, you could always encapsulate the navigation.php code into a function and just call that function from both places.

funciton my_nav_stuff(){

?>

.. all the stuff from navigation.php…

<?php

}

Stick that in bp-custom.php then in both themes <?php my_nav_stuff() ?>

The template path gets hijacked when a user goes into the member theme. It gets set to /bp-themes. When they go out of it it’s back to normal again /themes. That wouldn’t work for pointing to a file.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Jeff and I seem to be writing posts at the same time. Maybe we need walkie talkies or something.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

You have to remove the action after it’s defined by bp. Which is after bp loads up. In bp-custom.php:

function replace_bp_core_action_search_site(){

remove_action( ‘init’, ‘bp_core_action_search_site’, 5 );

add_action( ‘init’, ‘YOUR_bp_core_action_search_site’, 5 );

}

add_action(‘plugins_loaded’, ‘replace_bp_core_action_search_site’);

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

What theme are you having problems with?

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Every theme is written differently. Generally speaking it should be located in footer.php.

From the default Kubrick theme’s footer.php we have:

<!-- Gorgeous design by Michael Heilemann - http://binarybonsai.com/kubrick/ -->

<?php /* "Just what do you think you're doing Dave?" */ ?>



<?php wp_footer(); ?>

</body>

</html>

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

if ($bp->current_component == $bp->groups->slug && $bp->is_single_item){}

Is how I detect if the user is in a group page in the member theme. Such as: /groups/cats

if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->groups->slug && empty( $bp->current_action ) ) {}

Is how I detect is the user is in a group directory. The group directory doesn’t have anything after /groups. There’s no ‘action’ to detect.

If you take a look at bp-groups.php groups_setup_nav() you’ll see all the stuff bp sets when a user vists one of their groups.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

If it’s not showing on all your blogs then check the setting of: wpmu back end > BuddyPress > General Settings > Hide admin bar for logged out users?

If some themes are still not showing the admin bar then that means they are not written to calll wp_footer() in the theme itself.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Site admins and blog admins rely on the themes that are available to them. If the theme doesn’t support bp, they don’t get that option. Talk to your friendly neighborhood theme author.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

You betcha. Get your template up and running then?

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

wpmu back end > Site Admin > Options

Allow new registrations

Only logged in users can create new blogs.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

The BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG option works fine on my install using subdomains.

[@burtadsit Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Haha. I do have a certain ‘flavor’ don’t I? Ok, we can stop this now.
