It’s Automattic’s theme, and they use it on http://wpdevel.wordpress.com/

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 5 months ago]

The bit you’d want to change is /[membertheme]/directories/blogs/blogs-loop.php line 16, the call to bp_the_site_blog_avatar_thumb().

I’m too tired to figure out how to get the author/owner ID from the blog ID. If we could figure that out, you’d just change that bp_the_site_blog_avatar_thumb() function call appropriately and it would be easy, though you would be changing a core file (making future BP upgrades a PITA).

That’s the quick way. A better way would be to make use of the filter called ‘bp_get_blogs_blog_avatar_thumb_BLOGID’. In something like bpcustom.php, you would somehow get WPMU to return an array of all the blog IDs on the site. You’d then be able to write one function and call it via add_filter and then do exactly the same as in the “quick way” above.

Hopefully someone else can dig in and suggest how to get the author ID from the blog ID, then you can decide which to go for. I’d recommend the latter solution – though more complicated to do, saves time later.

Thanks so much sir!

Odd thought I have just had – have you installed Buddypress, or its themes, using symlinks? If you have, copy the directories/files and don’t use a symlink path.

If you don’t know what a symlink is, then disregard

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 5 months ago]

Yeah, and I haven’t tried it – I just did a quick search to point you in the right direction

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 5 months ago]

@Eric, are you trying this with any other plugins other than BP? If you are, move those plugins out the way for the moment. It’d be handy to know when exactly you get this error message, too.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 5 months ago]

Well, it works for me. Must be your install.

Have checked to see that all the rest of BP works?

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 5 months ago]

Ronia, note John said “soon.”

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 5 months ago]

It’s hiding under the ‘Developers’ menu section – direct link is https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/. Of course, I would expect 99.9% of WPMU plugins to work too.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 5 months ago]

Something like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-password-register/ ?

Yes, I’m working something I’m calling Achievements which is inspired by the World of Warcraft/Xbox 360 achievemens systems.

Look in (drumroll!) bp-xprofile.php, namely the xprofile_get_field_data() function which I think is what you need. Is that the kind of thing you were after?

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 5 months ago]

Hey, I’ve just written to and received an email from one of the guys – Noel – who’ve done the P2 theme and he seems willing to look at some additions to better support plugins and widgets that rely on what are otherwise standard filter actions.

The above works as an interim but hopefully at next weekend I can go over it all and check things properly, then feed back to Noel.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 5 months ago]

Ok, so this is with the current download-able version of P2 (not a trunk version):

functions.php – in function prologue_new_post():

//Find these two lines at the bottom of the function:

echo $post_id? $post_id : '0';

exit;

//Above them, put this:

if ( $post_id ) do_action( 'edit_post', $post_id, get_post( $post_ID ) );

functions.php – in function prologue_new_post_noajax():

//Find these two lines at the bottom of the function:

wp_redirect( get_bloginfo( 'url' ) . '/' );

exit;

//Above them, put this:

if ( $post_id ) do_action( 'edit_post', $post_id, get_post( $post_ID ) );

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 5 months ago]

Yes, that’s correct. I see the same. Therefore, I assume that is an intentional design decision. It looks worse on your screenshot than it does on my PC; obviously, our computers have different fonts installed.

@Peterpan77 – please do not shout. No-one replied to your last post a week ago, and shouting won’t have convinced anyone otherwise.

If you do not have exactly the same problems that Sugarmindy has, please start a new topic.

@Sugarmindy – most of this thread consists of posts you have made. Personally I find it very hard to collect and compile all of your info in my head. Can I suggest we start over? Please reply here providing the info we have asked for at https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2674 and summarise your problems again, like you did in the first post (if they are still relevant). Thanks

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 5 months ago]

I have just run into this (I think) – a post on my blog using P2 doesn’t appear on the main blog in the Sitewide activity; I guess it’s just missing an action call.

This evening when I get in I will fix it and update this thread with the fix.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 5 months ago]

Hi. Basics: What version of WPMU and BuddyPress are you using?

Also: What version of MySQL is your server running please? Also, I have heard BlueHost supports only subdirectory installs as it doesn’t support wildcard subdomains, so can you confirm you’re trying the subdirectory install?

If that last question makes no sense, try removing your WPMU / BP install and databases and try reuploading/reinstalling manually, not using SimpleScripts. A search on this forum has revelead at least one person saying that their problems on BlueHost went away after they did a manual install.

I am not familiar with this widget, but I imagine it has a text box where you write what you want to appear in your sidebar. The problem is, that sort of input is protected against malicious attacks or accidents; it escapes javascript and php.

This is the problem. You need to find a diff way of doing this

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 5 months ago]

You are using WordPress instead of WordPress MU. BuddyPress requires WordPress MU currently.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 5 months ago]

So as per the bit of error msg you posted (possibly unrelated to the blank avatar icon I think but anyway):

[Wed May 27 11:52:40 2009] [error] [client 66.249.71.151] File does not exist: /home/thehsm/public_html/wp-content/plugins/membership-site-memberwing/function.require-once

That is a) a garbled filename/file path and b) not part of BuddyPress. I suggest talking to the author of that plugin to try to find out what’s going on. There appears to be some specific instructions in that plugin’s readme.txt about where to locate the memberwing.php file.

Hey, I don’t want bugs give them to Burt!
