@r-a-y TODAY YOU’RE MY HERO!!!

I’ M SORRY… SUPER-HERO!!!

I thanks you sooo much for this.

As basic as it was, I didn’t even think about enableing the component and the group froum (I did both).

IT WORKS NOW!

Ouuf…! That really was killing me.

Now it’s just a matter of styling the whole thing, but that is never a problem!

Just tell me what you need… Anything…

Hi MrMraz, I installed the old plugin since a few weeks and I haven’t had the occation to see how it works, simply because it is not obvious straight away that this is more of a BP component, such as Groups and Forums.

I scratched my head off trying understand HOW to create a link (and I am not the only one https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/is-there-a-buddypress-plugin-that-can). To me it wasn’t clear that you need to manually create a link to the Links directory or something like that, wich mean you need a place in your navigation to put “Links”, along with Members, Forums, Groups (wplace that I don’t have on my site).

Anyway, I got two basic problems (with 0.3.2). I already got a page on my site called “links”. I’ve changed the buddypress-links.php file, line 24:

from

define( ‘BP_LINKS_SLUG’, ‘links’ );

to

define( ‘BP_LINKS_SLUG’, ‘members-links’ );

which I find more appropriate for my site. But I noticed the warning message:At this time, it is not recommended that you try to override this!

So, what am I to do?

Another problem is that when I try to create a link i got the error:

Warning: require_once(single/forms/details.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in …(mypath)/wp-content/themes/(mytheme)/bp-links-default/create.php on line 22

I’ve checked the file and that line was not coded properly:

require_once ‘single/forms/details.php’;

instead of: require_once (‘single/forms/details.php’);

Did it work for everybody else, that way?

Otherwise, I am going to test 0.4, since I see that there is a feature to “Create link directly from user profile and group pages”.

I’ll let you know.

Anyone who has a clue about this? Please?

You understand I need forums, right?

Thanks jivany! I see. Anyway, I’ve installed BP from the plugins panel in WP admin. So it is a released version.

I am amazed that nobody else got this problem. If it’s in the release version, how can I be the only one having or complaining about this?

@21cdb Looks like your link explain my problem. Just… what is BP Trank. In your lijk they talk about “running a trunk”.

Hi, MrMaz!

I can’t get the plugin to work. I mean, the stuff is there, but on my profile I don’t see the options to create links.

First, I seem to have a big problem since I already had a page called “links”, so that page gets screwed up by the plugin.

Also, I did put a folder called “bp-links-default” and created the following files to customize the HTML structure of those pages, to fit my layout:

– index.php

-create.php

– single/home.php

I got an error on the create page, line 22: require_once ‘single/forms/details.php’;

I accessed that page by typing the URL/links/create.

But as I told you I don’t have any button on the profile to access this page.

Can you help me out?

Here’s my setup:

WP 2.9.2 (single)

BP 1.2.3

BP Template Pack installed

WP is installed in a subfolder, with index.php in the root.

By the way, what I get when trying to create a new topic is this:

There was an error when creating the topic

Not very helpful, but this is it.

Anyone?

[@gian-ava Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Looking forward for the gift plugin!

Thanks, warut!

[@gian-ava Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

BTW, I was taking a look at my DB via phpmyadmin and after I checked the tables, I got the following message in my wp_users table:

“The following indexes appear to be equal and one of them should be removed: user_login, user_login_key

I got exactly the same thing. What is that?

[@gian-ava Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

I’ve tried to activate the default theme. Same thing,” bp_is_front_page()” is not recognized.

Tried also to deactivate all plugins (except BP). Nothing.

What the hell! Will I ever have an highlighted menu for home when on the homepage?

[@gian-ava Participant 16 years, 7 months ago]

Well, the only one I didn’t test was bp_is_page( ‘home’ ).

And it doesn’t work neither.

It’s not logical.

[@gian-ava Participant 16 years, 7 months ago]

@mercime I”l try that… Will let you know.

[@gian-ava Participant 16 years, 7 months ago]

@jivany Nope, “bp_is_activity_front_page” doesn’t work neither.

I am on WP single with WP Tempale Pack.

I got the Front page set to Activity stream.

I tried:

1) bp_is_front_page

2) is_front_page

3) bp_is_page(BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG)

4) bp_is_activity_front_page

Neither of those work on the homepage.

I can’t get anything printed out of a conditional statement with the above, meaning I can’t have a “Home” menu highlighted.

Anybody who got this problem?

[@gian-ava Participant 16 years, 7 months ago]

Is there anyone that have the slighest idea why this doesn’t work?

By this, I mean “bp_is_front_page()” not being recognized.

[@gian-ava Participant 16 years, 7 months ago]

@jivany Are you suggesting I’d create a tempalte file called Activity and set the front page to that.

If so, should I copy all the stuff from “activity/index.php” into that template file?

That could be a solution, but more of a workaround than a fix, right?

[@gian-ava Participant 16 years, 7 months ago]

@jivany Usually is_home() is for the blog index page.

And I got that on the menu, and is working fine with the blog index page.

I can’t believe something so basic doen’t work.

I am really scratching my head off on this.

[@gian-ava Participant 16 years, 7 months ago]

Go to Settings -> Miscellaneous Settings
.

Set “Store uploads in this folder” to “wp-content/uploads”.


Set “Full URL path to files” to the REAL FULL PATH of your uploads.


Then change “bp-core-avatars.php” line 389:

Replace:


if ( !$path = get_option( 'upload_path' ) )


$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads';


With:
if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )


$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads';


else
$path = ABSPATH . $path;

It fixes the problem.

This is really something that need be fixed with the next release.

[@gian-ava Participant 16 years, 7 months ago]

Thanks for the reply, mercime!

Nope, that doesn’t do it. The class “active” is not printed.

This is really weird, isn’t it?

[@gian-ava Participant 16 years, 7 months ago]

So, nobody willing to spend a couple of minutes on this, at least to tell me if the code SHOULD do its job?

Logically it should. But it doesn’t.

[@gian-ava Participant 16 years, 7 months ago]

It kills me when something SO basic doesn’t work!
