@21cdb, did you DL the zip from the trac, or did you SVN? I think there’s an issue with the trac zipper and it not including the external bbPress library. Can you verify that you have a bbpress directory in your buddypress/bp-forums/ directory?

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

What I would do to find the answer is take a look at the Intense Debate plugin and see what exactly it does to turn itself on and replace comments. Then, see if you can manually remove it.

They work for me. I get all sorts of kaleidoscope shaped avatars for groups.

Can you link me to where you’re seeing the problem?

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

This might sound silly, but make sure you have the friend component turned on.

Otherwise, just looking at your code compared to the current trunk, it looks to me like it should work? Judges?

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

That’s a good question. Can you login with your old account on any other *press website? bbpress.org, wordpress.org, etc?

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

Aaaaaaaaaand we’re on the air!

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

Podcorn?

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

The code exists within the core already to do this kind of thing, but it’s a matter of getting all of them to fire on registration/activation.

I’ll take a look at this in the next few days and see if I can piece together a plugin for it.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

Since BP Events basically started out as the core groups component but was reverse engineered to include event specific code and contents, you’ll find some references to the groups functionality in random places still. I’m trying to weed those out and keep up with the BP trunk changes.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

You could make a custom login page with BP trunk like…

define('BP_LOGIN_SLUG', 'login');

function bp_show_login_page() {

global $bp, $current_blog;



if ( $bp->current_component == BP_LOGIN_SLUG && $bp->current_action == '' ) {

bp_core_load_template( 'registration/login', true );

}

}

add_action( 'wp', 'bp_show_login_page', 2 );

Then put a template file named “login.php” in your frameworks registration folder and steal some code from the buddypress login form to help with getting started…

There’s a few examples online on how to redirect the WordPress login page with .htaccess. Could give that a shot too?

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

When you’re not logged in, in a normal BP website the first input of the type text that is on the page is the search box for members/groups/blogs.

I would use firefox/firebug/yslow to see which scripts are loading and if there are any other errors on the page causing it to stop?

On a basic installation, logging in/out won’t break jQuery in any way.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

Is the time on your server correct? And does the time setting for your site match your server? That can often times cause a strange offset in time from my experience.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

bp-events.php updated in trunk to take care of the navigation issues and hopefully knock out a notifications bug or two.

Anyone using a windows machine to SVN, I’d recommend TortoiseSVN and WinDIFF to be able to keep up with changes. Will help you a lot to see what changes and why.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

There is typically no turning back when you choose either subdirectories to subdomains, but it can be done manually, it’s just a lot of work.

It’s going to require manual editing of your database via phpMyAdmin, finding/replacing all of the places where url’s are now incorrect, and you will also need to change some settings in wp-config.php accordingly,

<?php define('VHOST', 'yes'); ?> to start with, and your domains and paths too.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

@detective, I thought that issue was addressed but it’s possible it crept back in. Child theme files should always override the parent file, with the exception of style.css and functions.php which have special handling.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

phpMyAdmin import/export of the tables would probably be easiest? There isn’t a method within BP to do this unfortunately, and I’m not sure it’s on the roadmap either.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

@conceptfusion, I have that bug fixed in the next bp-events.php file. I’m going to lend a hand trouble shooting this while I do the bp trunk at the same time.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

When it’s ready, it’ll be available through the BuddyPress/WordPress theme repo, so everyone can have at it.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

You could modify the home.php file and rip out all the extra code. Home.php will always act as the front page of your website, regardless of your WordPress settings.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

@Erich73, it means that my goal is that for the BP1.1 release, I’ll have a P2 style theme available using the new BP parent/child theme relationship ready.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

Lriggle, tracking down cookie issues can be a huge pain. If you’ve got everything else lined up, then it’s possible it could be an XMLRPC issue or another plugin causing a conflict, both of which are tedious. Good luck!

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

@Erich73, You would be best to make two themes for yourself; one as a child of the BP framework, and the other as a child of your first theme.

The first theme would include all of your custom CSS, images, etc… The second theme would bypass the home.php file and include any extra CSS or images that you might need. It’s simple once you see how it all plays together.

@alcina22, child theme files will always override any parent theme files. With that being said, if you need a home.php with 4 columns, then you make a home.php file in your child theme folder, and you add the extra code in your child theme’s function.php file to accommodate for the extra sidebar areas.

@Michael, BP1.1 should be backwards compatible, but once you’ve moved forward it is difficult to go back. The idea with 1.1 is that it’s something you’re going to want to commit to using, as there is so much deprecated code and renamed functions/extra functions, that your old themes will still work but are obsoleted by the new architecture.

If you have a HIGHLY customized theme, then it will make more sense to use your existing theme as your own framework, and make other themes work as a child of it instead. Basically you’ll want to compare and contrast the way that all the new 1.1 themes work, the functions they use, and the files it needs, and merge those files with your own. Using the BP framework isn’t REQUIRED, but it’s a great starting off point for most people. For the rest of us that have gotten used to making our own themes, we’re stuck making our own theme again for 1.1 if we want things done our way. It’s easier this time around though, I promise.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

If anything, the wire would potentially get replaced by a user forum. Otherwise P2 is a blog theme, which would mean replacing the wire with another blog.

I’m in the process of porting the P2 theme into the new BP 1.1 framework, so might be about as close as you’ll get for now.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

Easiest way would be to use the WPMU function is_site_admin() to determine if the currently logged in user is a site admin, and then hide the buttons accordingly in your template.

Then, you can create a custom function in plugins/bp-custom.php to redirect a user if they try to access the group creation URL directly.

[@johnjamesjacoby Keymaster 17 years, 2 months ago]

@David, possible you can check to see if you have any errors in your server logs? All that’s happening is a pretty simple AJAX request, not any different than loading any other normal page only it happens underneath it all.

If there’s a server error or some kind of authentication that it’s waiting to get back, that would be my only real guess?

Also, you could try to use Firefox and install Firebug and YSlow. YSlow can help you determine which HTTP requests are slow and track down what particular PHP file is causing the bottleneck.
