And you cant set up catchall on your email account?

In theory you could make up an email address, as it would never need to be used, wouldn’t work any way, and you added new users from the backend checked ‘don’t send email notification’ then edited their created user profile in the backend to suit.

How ever I can’t really get my head around you having users who are going / are using the internet and yet do not have email addresses that doesn’t really stack up -if they have an a connection to the net via an ISP then they have an email address whether they know it or not.

A plugin likely to be used a bit, still not sure if we need to have these automatic assignments any longer – as per the other thread I rambled on in over this issue that mercime read – Boone made the point that it was unnecessary to have roles foisted on users and filling the DB with cruft. I guess I still am slightly unsure of a system that has floating users that do not belong to a blog as such but simply to the ‘network’ and without a perceived role – but then again form knowledge of other CMS’s this isn’t an unusual paradigm.

Vhosts location is not something referred to or stored in a database it is something purely resolved by the web server and before any web application starts work as such.

There are many aspects to a server config that might differ mercime points to one in the GD library being a required module and compiled in some versions of PHP and not in others also the horror known as ‘safe mode’ may be set and if so needs to be unset.

Making a folder or directory writable is only half the story and often thought all that’s required but in reality it doesn’t matter what you set permissions to if the necessary system users do not have access to the ‘group’ or are not the ‘owner’ but this is best left to your host to sort out.

To be honest you are not really on the right support forum are you? Blogs belong to WP, issues with those or with the WP DB are going to be best addressed to the WordPress forums.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

They generally are, developers would not use them, you shouldn’t too

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

Don’t think that default exists any more, if you enable ‘allow site admins to add users’ then you get that option on the site admin users page along with role selection.

If you find out differently post back

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

I was wrong it has been updated:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/jet-event-system-for-buddypress/

You will need to post in the appropriate plugin group for support.

N.B perhaps you haven’t upgraded Jet Events?

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

That suggests that JetEvents hasn’t been updated to work with 3.1 Network Admin / Site Admin chamges.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

Sidenote: edited the server directory paths, on a public site it’s best not to show full directory set up.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

Just used those details to have a quick look, and you have a few layout issues but nothing that looks too problematical.

The account is simply a subscriber one so we won’t be able to get to see any files such as the requested page.php one, for that a higher level of access would be required.

As for Access I tend to ask of clients that they change all access details immediately that I have completed any work and no longer require access and to confirm that fact.

I haven’t the time to look in any great detail right at this minute as it’s getting late in the UK , but I’ll keep an eye on the thread and if no resolution I’ll try and have a look in the morning for you.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

You will either have local copies of the files which you used to upload to the site either in zipped format or unzipped or you will have ftp access and would need to download the mentioned file, alternatively perhaps you only have some form of server site control panel in which case it should have an file editor which you could use to view and copy paste the contents to pastebin.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

hmm for many of us it’s the love of our life but also sadly how we have to struggle to earn a living

The manual steps you can approach again at any time essentially they are simply visually inspecting theme files and ensuring certain elements are replicated in both, obviously the markup structure from your main theme is the one that governs the layout and that BP files must copy and adhere to.

Either myself or mercime will have a look at the live site files when we have a moment and see if we can direct you to the elements that are missing or mismatched.

Apropos Your question to mercime, do you mean how to post a link here I think that mercime was just asking for a user and login plain text will do and a basic account not admin.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

Are you looking at the Network Admin screens? top right menu bar.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

*puzzled* I contributed to some and have used various approaches of my own all post dating 1.1 or the transition to the 1.2 stream, but yes guess some are a little complicated but then BP isn’t that simple a thing to code for requiring as it does a little more than basic knowledge.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

Erm you could really do with explaining just what issue you are having with avatars as logging into a site to troubleshoot issues starts to become somewhat of a service and mustn’t be taken for granted – if it’s an avatar upload denied error then likely your server user/groups are not correct on your server, the process that needs to own the files isn’t allowed to and this needs to be resolved at the server level.

Almost verging on a NSFW site

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

I had the same issue, and as you’ve realised it’s the username that’s the problem. Not sure if it corrects itself with future version releases but have a feeling not.

@DJPaul fixed mine up he might be able to do the same for you or perhaps @boonebgorges can.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

Making a theme compatible with BP isn’t I’m afraid a one click process and there are some manual steps that must be undertaken and that do require a little coding knowledge – although not much.

These two pages in the BP codex will help you, the second probably the best one to read through fisrt.

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

If you haven’t already performed the extra manual steps outlined in these pages you will need to have a go and if you get stuck post back with where you’ve got to and someone will help out.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

A search of the forum would have thrown up a few posts on this subject that have this and alternative examples.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

It wasn’t referred to the WP forums was it this posted six hours ago and simultaneously to the WP forum – but best to hedge ones bets I guess.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

What are the rules on bumping here?

Try and wait ~24 hours before bumping

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

It’s not difficult, you should have two options on the buddypress bar there should be an Admin or User Admin link on that will be the option to mark as spammer or you can go to the dashboard -> admin or network admin -> users and check user, select mark as spam from bulk actions drop down.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

sometimes, people think we all do everything for free

That’s a consequence of working in the WP world I’m afraid and of gpl licenses and also of the majority not really understanding what length of work is involved in even the simplest bit of coding when one factors in testing / debugging

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

@finni3 no I’m trying to get away from this impression I’m a bird! maybe I’ll go with Napoleon Solo he was quite cool

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

@mercime darn it, it will have to be pierced brosne man then -always thought he did quite a good job in the part.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

You should be able to override styles in the main themes style.css file, you might need to increase the specificity of the selector set to ensure the properties take precedence over others that may be set.

#wraper #content #item-nav add in ancestral elements until your styles kick in and have a heavier weight than others that might be decalred for #item-nav
