When using the auto upgrade, the following error is given. The error states that the plugin could not be activated, but it is activated. Not sure yet if plugin is working properly. I did notice that I lost the small groupblog icon on the group menu. Both the error and loss of icon occurred with the bp-groupblog 1.2 and 1.2.2 versions.

wpmu-2.8.4a, bp-1.1.1 php-5.2.5

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_groupblog_setup_globals() (previously declared in /home/ttacconn/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-groupblog/bp-groupblog.php:40) in /home/ttacconn/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-groupblog/bp-groupblog.php on line 48

Latest update to group-forum-subscription does not create this error.

Marius, Thanks for the feedback and for developing this plugin. I didn’t know if the error was specific to my configuration. Your plugin is definitely a key feature for bp.

For those aware, what’s the harm (beyond increasing my error log size) in using this plugin with the error mentioned above?

This error, as related to Group Forum Subscription, is discussed here:

No resolution as of yet. Boone can’t replicate the error but is aware.

No worries Mike – and definitely no call for a heart attach. It’s appreciated that you share your work. While your support is great (and accurate and always welcome!), seems like collectively we should be able to figure most of this out.

So, for anyone who has the TWO column version of this theme working (like Mike’s), please share how the heck you got to work. I understand Mike’s directions for the 3 column layout (although I haven’t tried it). I think Mike implies that the two column layout is the default for the avenueK9 theme and this is what I’m trying to implement. My widgets admin backend indicated that I have 3 columns/sections but I would expect it to only have 2 columns for the home page. As shared previously, placing widgets in various combinations within the 3 backend columns/sections results in a mess (which would probably be fixed by deleting the ‘layout’ folder- if you wanted 3 columns). What’s the trick to getting the default 2 column avenuek9 home page?

Mike, we’ll see if someone in this community can enlighten me, but if after your wedding, honeymoon and a few kids, you see this isn’t resolved, feel free to set me straight.

@Chris, Mine is a root install so it seems that wouldn’t be related to the problem. I’ve switched to the default bp theme for now. I disabled all of my plugins without getting any improvement.

Even if you don’t have a solution, please post if you’re having a problem using AvenueK9 theme. That may help us determine the cause of the problem. Is the problem more common than would indicate here (only 3 of us)?

Mike,

Thanks for the update. I had no issues with the 1.0 version but I am having a problem with the new theme at http://ttacconnect.org. Any feedback you (and anyone else) can give is appreciated:

I’m not getting a 2-column home page. I have 3 columns and the Widgets admin page lists ‘first-section’, ‘second-section’, ‘third-section’, ‘blog-sidebar’.

When widgets are placed in sections they end up incorrect on the home page:

-widgets in first section don’t appear on the homepage

-widgets in second section appear in the 3rd column

-widgets in third section appear in the 2nd column

For all of the main ‘pages’ in the menu bar (home, blog, members, etc.), the main body section is not as wide as the top menu and bottom black bar.

An individual members’ page or a group page you’ll see that the background color (light yellow) do not run the length of the body but end after the menu.

Lastly! and still on the individual members and group pages, the ‘See All’ link in the green section bars is appearing below the green bar. All you can see is just the top of the text link.

Mike’s and nighowl99’s site don’t have these formatting issues. I figure my issues are all related although I can’t figure out what would be causing the conflict. Again, anyone’s thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

I think I can simplify my question from a few days ago. To recap- I believe my bp and bbpress integration is working properly, but I’m not sure because of two issues:

1. Forum posts deleted from the bp group forums are removed from the bp group but remain in the bbpress forums.

2. Tags can be added to forum topics in bp groups but the tags don’t serve a purpose in bp. Tags are only accessible/searchable when directly using bbpress.

Is this how integration presently works? If not, any suggestions?

Thanks for your feedback. wpmu 2.8.2, bp 1.0.3, bbpress 1.0.2, subdomains

wpmu 2.8.2, bp 1.0.3, bbpress 1.0.2

I believe my integration is working as advertised but… when I delete a forum topic from a buddypress group it is removed from the group forum but not deleted from bbpress. Over time the bbpress forum will have a growing number of topics/posts that group admins think they have deleted (from buddypress) but actually live on in bbpress.

I’m not sure if tags within buddypress group forums are working. Tags can be added but I only find them available when directly accessing bbpress. While on the buddypress side, I’m not able to search groups for tags in the group forum.

Are these issues of a bad integration on my part or just limits of the current versions?
