Check for any whitespace at the top of your bp custom.php and also header.php

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Yes

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

So submit an enhancement ticket on http://trac.buddypress.org and a patch if can.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Only by editing the database. This was to avoid broken links etc in the activity streams, etc, and yes, there are probably better ways to handle this.

Last time I checked, the theme was enabled for threaded comments but the CSS styling was missing from an element.

In any regard I see the “forums setup” option inside buddypress, I choose “set up a new bbpress installation” and it said “All done! Configuration settings have been saved to the file..” but where are my forums? No new forum menu options appeared, are they supposed to?

No. In BP, Forums are part of Groups. Create a group, and you’ll notice it will have a forum section. Once you make a post, the forum directory will appear on the main nav.

There is a way to integrate a forums install in the more traditional way, but I suggest you have a look at the default first

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Apparently, groups are now pretty much dead on this site until the site is upgraded sometime in March. If you want, make a separate post for now

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Andy Peatling is going to put up a consultants’ directory on here in the near future. I’m not sure what’s going on with that group, I’ll ask Andy to look.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

…which you can get from https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

I know the bbPress team (incl. Matt Mullenweg) are working on a point release to fix bugs, so it’s not dead.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

It might be because you’ve got a username with a space in it, on that site. Also, make sure you change the permalink setting from the default that WP installs with.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Update to BP 1.2. You aren’t going to get much support for 1.1.3 as so much has changed.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Everyone’s probably correct, but if you’re still on BP 1.2 and on WPMU, upgrade to BP 1.21 as it fixes some blog-related errors.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

I’ve just come across a nicely written summary in the example component. For your reference:

/****

* OPTION 2 (NOT USED FOR THIS SCREEN):

* If your component is simple, and you just want to insert some HTML into the user’s active theme

* then you can use the bundle plugin template.

*

* There are two actions you need to hook into. One for the title, and one for the content.

* The functions you hook these into should simply output the content you want to display on the

* page.

*

* The follow lines are commented out because we are not using this method for this screen.

* You’d want to remove the OPTION 1 parts above and uncomment these lines if you want to use

* this option instead.

*/

// add_action( ‘bp_template_title’, ‘dpa_screen_one_title’ );

// add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘dpa_screen_one_content’ );

// bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘members/single/plugins’ ) );

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

That’s a feature which has been around since BP 1.0. Currently, it is used for the “Settings” page. Have a look at bp_core_screen_general_settings() in bp-core-settings.php.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

The ‘is_public’ column got removed a while back, so no. bp_field_has_public_data() looks like it now returns if the particular profile field has any data set… it isn’t actually used anywhere in the core, so I guess it’s an old function.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Er. Your site can’t get infected by viruses. Your server could, but that will require an exploit for remote code execution of some sort.

Is that what you mean? I would recommended that if you aren’t sure, you need to find a host to manage that for you.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

What theme are you using?

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Yeah, those aren’t changeable at the moment without hacking the core. Submit an enhancement ticket to trac for 1.3, and it’ll get done.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

BP 1.2 has not been built to support WP 3.0-alpha.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

It’s gone from a Facebook “Wall” implementation to something like “Twitter.” You can’t go into my Twitter and leave a message, can you?

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

What’s disabled by default?

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

Don’t know about image posting in activity stream but FYI you can use this for video https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

PH: I’ve just read a post where you’ve written exactly the same. I don’t even see how *this* post has anything to do with a 1.1-1.2 upgrade. Please keep on topic and your posts relevant to the thread.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 8 months ago]

There have been very few posts concerning issues with 1.1-1.2 upgrades. On the whole I think is has gone very well. I think if you use the old theme (“BP Classic”) with the BP Backwards Compatibility plugin you can get the wire back.

What do you find the new activity sections do not do for your site that the wire did?
