trcwest – See your other thread for a solution.

The trunk version is available here:

https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk

At the bottom of that page is a link to download all the files in .zip format. Give that a try on your site and you should have better luck with getting it to work.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

Is there something specific you’re looking for. Most WordPress plugins and WPMU plugins will work alongside BuddyPress. Right now the focus is on getting all the basic features stable for a formal release in the next month or so, but additional plugins will definitely be developed for this system.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

Yeah, the avatar storage method changed a little while back so existing users will likely need to re-upload their avatar.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

The second issue should be as easy as creating a new user then going into the database and changing the group admin user id from the admin’s (likely 1) to the ID of your new user. It should be as simple as that.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

Definite bug then, I’ll create a ticket in a few.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

Glad to hear you figured it out. Root install was a requirement early on, but I couldn’t find if it was anymore or not.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

The basics of what I did was edit bp-xprofile.php and removed these lines:

$sql[] = “INSERT INTO “. $bp . ” (

id, group_id, parent_id, type, name, description, is_required, field_order, option_order, order_by, is_public, can_delete

) VALUES (

1, 1, 0, ‘textbox’, ‘” . __( ‘Public Display Name’, ‘buddypress’) . “‘, ”, 1, 1, 0, ”, 1, 0

);”;

$sql[] = “INSERT INTO “. $bp . ” (

id, group_id, parent_id, type, name, description, is_required, field_order, option_order, order_by, is_public, can_delete

) VALUES (

2, 1, 0, ‘textbox’, ‘” . __( ‘Last Name’, ‘buddypress’) . “‘, ”, 1, 2, 0, ”, 1, 0

);”;

Then I went into my database and deleted those fields. Once those are gone BP defaults to using the username.

Yeah, it seems to only occur with posts on the main blog. Not going to be a problem for a lot of sites where their posts are mainly on a sub-blog but my site has 2,000+ posts so I have a feeling I’ll run into this again. I’m going to try to find a solution as well, though disabling the redirection might be a temporary solution.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

Glad to hear you resolved everything. I too had no problem adding the BuddyPress features to another theme.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

You may need to install WPMU and BuddyPress in the root, not in a directory.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

Sounds similar to a problem I ran into. I had a user create an account with the name “justin” but domain.com/members/justin redirected to a post with a slug starting with justin rather than the user profile. Not exactly the same problem, but sounds like they’re related. I’m planning on investigating this soon, but if it’s widespread hopefully Andy can check it out as well.

To solve it in the near term I just renamed the post so it didn’t start with Justin and everything worked fine, but I’m likely to encounter this again.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

I should note, though, that the “Creat a Blog” function doesn’t work, it’s just a link to a page that says registrations are disabled.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

Right, that’s the only downside. I only disabled it temporarily, which is why I still installed the blog component but if you never intend on allowing blogs not having it installed is probably for the best.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

The mod is pretty simple, but I need to look up what files I modified. I’ll post how I did it tomorrow, but it’s really easy and should take less than five minutes to do.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

Yep.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

Glad to hear it worked, thanks for sharing!

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

Probably not. From what I’ve found it’s based on whoever makes a comment or post public, if that’s the right word to use. If a comment is automatically published without moderation the author should be listed correctly.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

I still installed bp-blogs, but disabled registrations and it worked perfectly.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

I’m confused as to what isn’t working properly?

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

The sitewide activity, members, and groups are all widgets which would simply needed to be added to your sidebar. Other than that its as simple as installing BuddyPress and your main site will be maintained while the profiles will assume the new theme.

If you’d like to see a more custom example, check out MMAFrenzy.com where I integrated the profiles into my own design but for basic functionality and maintaining your own theme its just a basic install.

Hope that helps, feel free to ask any questions so I can hopefully clear them up for you.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

Using a clean version of the latest trunk from trac.buddypress.org?

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

I think the Groups component could be easily hacked and duplicated to provides events functionality. I’ll likely wait for BP to incorporate them as they aren’t a key component of my site, but I don’t think it’d be more complicated than adding some additional fields. There’s also some WP plugins that may provide the functionality you’re looking for as well.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

I didn’t get a chance to read over everyone’s posts, but all I did was write a post in the blog as usual and it appeared in the “News” section. I’ll read over everything tomorrow and provide a more thorough explanation if possible.

[@gogoplata Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

I have it setup at MMAFrenzy.com. Only soft-launched at this point while I tie up a few loose ends but it’s going great so far and has customized rather easily.
