In reply to: Privilaged Members? Special themes, plugins etc
Thats a good trick John, thanks.
The other day someone was asking about assigning different members “levels” to have access to certain assets. This seems like a good way to do it. Create 5 groups or so and base permissions on those.
Any thoughts if that would be easier than assigning members an actual permission level?
In reply to: install bbpress – no dropdown to select adminI have tried RC 1 and 2 with no luck.
What I am really looking for is a version that matches the install instructions.
What are others doing?
In reply to: install bbpress – no dropdown to select adminI just checked what bbpress I was using when I was having success during the beta stage and it was the alpha 6 version.
Should I still be using this version?
Why is no one else seeming to have this problem?
In reply to: install bbpress – no dropdown to select adminis BB v1.0 rc 3 the correct one to be using?
In reply to: install bbpress – no dropdown to select adminThanks Chris. I just did that and the install seemed good but now whenever I try to go to the forum I get
” Oh dear!
bbPress is already installed.
Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?”
Its weird. I did not get stuck at this part with the beta version. I am going to start over again to see what happens.
In reply to: BuddyPress URL’s “Not Found”Cool. Now maybe you can help me install bbpress if you got it going.
What a headache.
In reply to: BuddyPress URL’s “Not Found”Here’s a shot in the dark.
Go to your permalinks setting page and resubmit it. You don’t have to change anything.
I have found that has fixed some of my page issues when I was under the hood constructing new pages by hand.
Just a thought.
In reply to: Do You Have to Use WPMU?Wow, I too haven’t used IRC in a decade.
I would rather hang out here and talk BP. Seems less painful.
In reply to: BuddyPress Showoff: Post your linksThanks Erich (assuming I am the Matt you were referring to!)
I think you are talking about threaded responses.
As far as I know, bbpress does not do those. Also, (as far as I know) it does not alert you when someone has replied to your post.
I have seen these features mentioned in bbpress wishlists before. Hopefully someday they will get added.
I am completely new to bbpress so I am not sure of their future feature plans.
In reply to: BuddyPress Showoff: Post your linksWork in progress. You know how it goes.
Can I be put on the main list?
In reply to: Scope error moving bp_group_list_admins()Thanks Burt. That actually makes sense.
Maybe I can resort to some CSS trickery to move it around.
Thanks for the tip.
In reply to: Scope error moving bp_group_list_admins()I still haven’t figured this one out if anyone has any ideas….
In reply to: How to get rid of the default blog postThanks Ben. My network has no users so I am trying to address this from the start.
Here is what I had from last night. Doesn’t work yet though.
add_action('wpmu_new_blog', 'mk_delete_default_post');
function mk_delete_default_post($blog_id) {
global $wpdb;
$query = "DELETE * from {$wpdb->posts}";
echo $query;
$wpdb->get_results($query, ARRAY_A);
}wpmu_new_blog() returns the int of the new post. Originally I was going to assemble the string to the table because I could not find a reliable way to get the table name yet.
something like
$table = $table_prefix . wpmu_new_blog() .’_post’;
$query = “DELETE * from {$table}”;
I got distracted so I haven’t quite quite got it going yet.
In reply to: How do you call Wire in your language?“post-it” – thats great. Good solution.
In reply to: How to get rid of the default blog postThanks Ben.
Worst case scenario maybe I could see what they were doing and jumpstart the plugin I was working on to get it done.
In reply to: How do you call Wire in your language?Nice tip. Thanks Lance.
In reply to: How do you call Wire in your language?Don’t feel bad. No one understands it in English either

I am ripping “Wire” out of mine out and changing it to “Comments” – because thats what it is.
Otsukar Sama!
In reply to: How to get rid of the default blog postThats awesome. Thanks Mr. Fishbowl.
I started writing my own, but this one will work better.
Thanks
In reply to: member theme error in adminThanks Nicola
I remember reading that somewhere but it doesn’t effect me. Thanks for the heads up though…
I think I might just have to reinstall and start clean. I have other sandbox issues that I can take care of at the same time.
In reply to: main blog link points to main pageHow come I can only see my reply to burt when i log in? Thats weird…
In reply to: main blog link points to main pageHey Burt, when you say there is none, do you mean is belongs to wpmu and not bp?
if you go here:
That is the admin blog. If there was a widget on the front page of blogs and the admin blog was featured in the widget, the link would point to http://testbp.org/ and not http://testbp.org/blog
I have seen this multiple times but cant find an example other than the one above right now.
Thanks
In reply to: Admin bar at top of pageIn reply to: Admin bar at top of pageSo then would this code remove the admin bar? Would I place it in functions.php?
remove_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’);
In reply to: Forum Integration: HELPING HINTSAlright, I am on to my next install and having a few different problems.
“There was an error posting that reply.” is the group error message after posting, BUT the post is still made. Meaning, all my test users can post to the group forum as expected (and no data is lost), but I get the ugly red bar saying it didn’t work out.
IF I disable buddypress-enable.php in bbpress plugins, then I don’t get the error message – I get the green success message – and everyone can post accurately.
Thoughts?
In reply to: Forum Integration: HELPING HINTSWell, I hate to resort to a hack, but I did get integration going.
simply defining BB_HASH as an emtpy string.
I did notice them my cookie names did not seem to follow the naming convention that the Reverend was mentioning on his site.
Anyway, now I can move on to the fun stuff….
