I think linking you to http://lmgtfy.com has gone to your head

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

Yeah, go into the WP backend and in the BuddyPress > Components menu, disable Blogs.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

BuddyPress uses regular WP Mail functions. Perhaps they’re getting caught as spam.

define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 117 );

Will run on blog ID 117.

Rename /plugins temporarily to something else, and remove /themes/bp-* (if you’ve copied the themes into there) temporarily. Visit yoursite.com/wp-admin/ and it should clear up the error and revert to the default theme.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

BuddyPress can run on a sublog. All you need is this in your wp-config.php:

define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', 2 );

Will make BuddyPress run on blog ID 2, for example. For other handy commands, see https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

Checking your referral logs is one way you can see how they’re getting in. Tip: login to the bbpress admin area and CLOSE SIGNUPS.

Obviously this only applies if you are running a seperate bbPress install.

Like Andy said, when you update the files and visit the admin of your site, then it will upgrade that database.

That plugin may or may not help you out depending on what exactly is broken on your site. In theory that plugin and BuddyPress 1.2-beta should enable your current BuddyPress 1.1-theme and most plugins to work as-is.

Version 1.1 actually eliminated the BuddyPress and WordPress themes. You needed one of each, now it is all in the WordPress theme. This isn’t new to 1.2; 1.2 just comes with a new theme (and the 1.1 theme has been renamed to bp-classic).

As per your last question, if you are on WPMU, you could create a blog and have BuddyPress run on that blog. Your main “site” would run on the main blog.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

How is it supposed to work out the box? I mean, it looks like the only thing that works is to create a group, which thereby creates a forum discussion. There doesn’t seem to be any way at all to administer the forums.

The site or group administrators go into a group and they will have extra controls to moderate threads. I believe all the bbPress functionality is included, but perhaps not the ability to move a thread to another forum (group).

What I’m looking to do is create forum categories or “boards” the way buddypress did here:

https://buddypress.org/forums/

Then you need a seperate, external install of bbPress and then you need to integrate that into BuddyPress.

It looks like buddypress calls this a “Main Theme,” so my question could likely be better phrased: How do I create a “Main Theme” in Forums?

With the external bbPress install method, you need to create a bbPress theme to your requirements. With the BuddyPress two-click install, look at these files:

/themes/bp-default/groups/single/forum.php and the /forum directory in that path, too.

Have you talked to the author of bp-events?

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

To be honest you aren’t going to get much/any support based on bugs in previous versions of BuddyPress as we may have fixed them in the more recent versions.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

Ah, so this message happens if activity streams is disabled? I’ll make a bug ticket, thanks.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

I’d like to comment for anyone who comes across this thread, if you do this just to get into the bbpress admin panel, *none* of the changes will carry across into BuddyPress -> Groups -> Forums views. You have to run an external bbPress installation for that to happen.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

Do not bump your post after ~16 hours. 48 hours, sure, 16, no.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

Had anyone been working on it they probably would have seen this thread.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

I’m marking this as not a support issue as it seems to relate to a third party theme and not BuddyPress itself.

HTML4 spec – http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/.

Alt

For user agents that cannot display images, forms, or applets, this attribute specifies alternate text.

Title

title = text [CS]

This attribute offers advisory information about the element for which it is set.

Unlike the TITLE element, which provides information about an entire document and may only appear once, the title attribute may annotate any number of elements. Please consult an element’s definition to verify that it supports this attribute.

Values of the title attribute may be rendered by user agents in a variety of ways. For instance, visual browsers frequently display the title as a “tool tip” (a short message that appears when the pointing device pauses over an object). Audio user agents may speak the title information in a similar context. For example, setting the attribute on a link allows user agents (visual and non-visual) to tell users about the nature of the linked resource:

IE7 onwards will display title text. This is one of many IE6 issues.

Without knowing these answers https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/when-asking-for-support, we can but only make wild guesses.

Famous last words…. the internet never forgets

On topic, I’m not going out of my way to provide support for 1.1 in any plugins which I will release in future. Like D Cartwright and Erwin says, it takes too much time which I’m not getting any money for.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

No, you can’t use BuddyPress as an email server.
