Socialpreneur, this is perfect! Do you think there is anyway to prevent the Site Admin menu selections from being overridden by individual blog owners?

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

I\’m using the trunk version of BP and have activated the FB plugin with no problem.

But when I enter my FB API and Secret, I get the following error messages. Anyone know what this means?

Warning: fopen(http://api.new.facebook.com/restserver.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /mysite/wp-content/plugins/bp-fbconnect/wp-facebookconnect/facebook-client/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php on line 1939

Fatal error: Call to undefined function simplexml_load_string() in /mysite/wp-content/plugins/bp-fbconnect/wp-facebookconnect/facebook-client/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php on line 1870

Thanks again, Peter. I’ll check this out.

Any other plugin or code ideas would also be welcome.

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

Thank you, Peter, this will help with the tools. But I still want them to be able to access certain parts of the Dashboard.

Do you know of anything more modular, that will let me pick and choose what users can see?

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

And thanks to Burtadsit for the code/plugin idea. It’s a great one!

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

Thanks again, Jeff! When I went into the file, there were extra spaces and a few slashes that I didn’t put in there (they may have come from my cut and paste).

Anyway, it works perfectly now.

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

Okay, here’s the code. I cut and pasted it from the forum and added the php open and close :

<?php

function oci_login_redirect($redirect_to, $set_for, $user){

$redirect_to = bp_core_get_userurl($user->ID);

return $redirect_to;

}

add_filter(‘login_redirect’, ‘oci_login_redirect’, 10, 3);

?>

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

Thank you so much, Jeff!

For the login redirect, I tried to create the plugin as per Burt’s instructions in that thread, but couldn’t get it to work. Not sure why, but I’ll look at it again.

I’ll look into the rebranding of WPMU.

Good advice on the questions. I sometimes treat WPMU, BP and bbpress as if they are all the same, which they aren’t.

Much obliged.

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 2 months ago]

When I go into bbpress admin settings, there is no option to enable xmlrpc and pingbacks. Why and what should I do?

1. So far, WPMU, BuddyPress and bbpress have installed.

2. I can create forums in Groups on BP, but I can\’t see them on bbpress

3. When I try to enter a post in the Group forum in BP, I get the red square and error message: “There was an error posting that topic.”

4. Also, even if I’m logged in as admin in BP (which is mapped to Keymaster in bbpress), I still have to sign in again when I reach the bbpress forums.

5. This leads me back to: xmlrpc and pingbacks (why are the checkboxes not visible?)

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

I have a sketchy workaround. I duplicated the buddypress-member directory and named it buddypress-home. I put them both in the member-themes directory. And now it works perfectly!

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Great idea, I know exactly what you mean. Thanks again for your help.

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

For some reason when I tried to change it, it turned black. But thanks for letting me know that I can fix it in photoshop.

THANKS!

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

@burtadsit,

Thanks for your post. My files are already exactly as you suggested; I paid careful attention in the install instructions.

I already activated the bp home theme in the WPMU backend.

I think what’s happening is a function needs to be changed to reflect the new location of buddypress-home and member-themes.

In the meantime, I’ve figured out a workaround.

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

@MartinNr5,

That’s the mystery. My member-themes folder contains a directory called ‘buddypress-member’ and that’s it.

I don’t have a buddypress-home folder there.

I think there is a function that is defined to look for a file here: /wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-home/index.php

but cannot, because the location doesn’t exist.

I’m wondering where this function is and how to redefine it.

Jessica

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Thanks, but member-themes is located in wp-content.

Anyone else have any ideas?

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

@nicolagreco,

Thank you for your post. I thought I downloaded the buddypress combo, which is the final version. I didn’t even go to the SVN site.

Is there someplace I can double check to make sure I have the final version?

Thanks,

Jessica

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

Why? It’s working now!

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

1) Permissions are fine.

2) What about the fact that the path doesn’t exist?

/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-home/index.php

This isn’t even a location! Do I need to redefine a function or something?

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

@sajjadkhan – I noticed that your site is fixed. What was the resolution?

Thanks

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 4 months ago]

I found this post and it helped (https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=7393)

In file wp-includes/capabilities.php add on line 2:

require_once(‘pluggable.php’);

Worked PERFECTLY!

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

That sounds ominous. I googled the phrase and found several forums (with WPMU) where people reported the same problem and gave some fixes. No one seemed to think it was that big of a deal.

As for me, my WPMU works fine until I add the buddypress plugin; then it stops working.

Anyone have any solutions?

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Here’s the Php error that I’m getting:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /html/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 920

Any ideas?

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Thanks. So far, wordpress mu is working beautifully. It’s when I try to add in the buddypress plugin that everything goes wrong.

[@jfcarter Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Thanks, guys. Believe it or not there aren’t any errors in the log they provided. I’ve asked them to escalate a ticket to see if there are other logs, since I’m on a shared hosting plan.
