That default post might be inserted into the DB directly rather than the regular WordPress API which would explain why the Site Wide Activity widget doesn’t pick it up.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

It should appear. Is the blog set as private?

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

@fritzthecat As per Andy Peatling’s comment above, this appears to be a bug with the current version of WPMU, not BuddyPress.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

http://testbp.org/wp-signup.php is what is meant to happen.

mishathegoat you appear to be using the old BP theme directory. What version of BuddyPress are you installing and with which theme?

Yes, we are aware but thank you for letting us know

Exactly

I’m aware of the hakam00 thing. If akismet looked at BP private messages to see if they were spam, we’d also need to build in an area for people to go and ‘unspam’ the messages.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

The problem is that they need to be the same (ideally, utf8) – this gives the ??? problem.

I’ve just done a test install and it’s installed the databases with these types.

If you look on the bb-config.php in the root directory of your site, I bet the “charset” is set to “UTF” — but the database tables are still installed as latin1.

The forums component is probably the weakest area of my BuddyPress knowledge. I’ve had a look at the code and I can’t see anything obviously wrong. I’ll let you know once I have news.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

Thanks nisigia. Bad news I think I know the problem and I’m not sure how to fix it easily. Will you confirm this?

Your wp_bp_* MySQL tables are of type ‘utf8’ but wp_bb_* are of latin1?

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

Hmm. Any chance of a screenshot?

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

Glad you got it working. It’s possible to change, but not easy. Of course, ensuring you’ve backed up EVERYTHING:

In the Admin, go to the Site Admin -> Blogs page. For each blog, click the edit link. You’ll then want to update the fields to be consistent with the *new* location you want each blog (i.e. check Domain, Path, Siteurl, Home, Fileupload Url).

Then, there’s one line in the wordpress config file that tells WPMU to use subdomains instead of subdirectories. Change:

define('VHOST', 'yes');

to:

define('VHOST', 'no');

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

I'm using the set up where it makes it

blogname.sitename.com



if that matters

If it does, how do I change it so that it's

sitename.com/blogname

My money is on that; I don’t think Hostpapa supports wildcard subdomains.

AS A TEST, backup everything and delete all your WPMU/BP files and empty the database. Reinstall, but this time during WPMU installation, pick the style of install that’s “sitename.com/blogname” as opposed to the one with subdomains.

Thanks for the feedback zooney, that’s a useful tip.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

The out of memory error means you need to increase that 64mb line in your config – try 128.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 11 months ago]

I’d be interested in working on a Wiki-type system for BuddyPress.
