One other bug I encountered when using the BuddyBar was the second-level menus weren’t popping out in bbPress.

I found out that the problem is due to some CSS rules overriding one another.

In /plugins/buddypress/bp-core/css/admin-bar.css, move line 177 under

#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul ul, #wp-admin-bar li.sfhover ul li ul {

left: -999em !important;

}

So your admin-bar CSS from line 171 should look like:

/* third-and-above-level lists */



#wp-admin-bar ul li ul ul {

margin: -28px 0 0 183px !important;

}



#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li.sfhover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li ul li.sfhover ul { /* lists nested under hovered list items */

left: auto !important;

}



#wp-admin-bar ul li.align-right:hover ul {

right: 0 !important;

}



#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul ul, #wp-admin-bar li.sfhover ul li ul {

left: -999em !important;

}



#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li.sfhover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li ul li.sfhover ul { /* lists nested under hovered list items */

left: auto !important;

}



... and the rest of it here

That was the case for me anyway! If you’re using a custom admin-bar CSS, make sure you make the change as well.

Put quotes around your conditional cases.

eg.

if ($localPhone== Brighton || $localPhone==Test Group)

to:

if ($localNetwork== "Brighton" || $localNetwork="Test Group")

See if that works.

[EDIT]

Also $localPhone isn’t defined… you want to use $localNetwork instead.

Hey sorry for not replying.

What did you do here?

Then I edited the Navigation bar source using Dreamweaver so that their buttons will appear in the Navigation bar.

Re-trace your steps, what files did you edit?

Let us know.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

I did

But thanks for posting that for others, ipstenu!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

I know the code… you’re basically asking to combine two form actions, which is a little complicated without doing some manipulation and coding your own function.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Your code is missing the all-important add_action!

You had the function defined, but nothing is executing it! hehe

Yeah there’s at least three functions in the default bphome theme functions.php that you should copy over.

Just copy the whole functions.php file over from bphome and you should be good to go!

Remember to green light the thread and select “resolved”!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

That’s a little harder because they use two separate form actions.

You could get creative and do a javascript toggle… but I can’t help you with that… at least not with the time I have right now!

Maybe someone can jump in and code something fast.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

The BP search form is generated from the bp_search_form() function.

Short answer is you can’t modify that function.

But you can add this to your BP member theme:

<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">

<label class="hidden" for="s"><?php _e('Search for:'); ?></label>

<div><input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" name="s" id="s" />

<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />

</div>

</form>

Copied and pasted from default Kubrick WP theme.

That should work, but report back and let me know.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Thanks for debugging, matthijsv.

John, Transposh should be added to the readme.txt for known incompatible WP plugins with the BuddyBar plugin.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

I think I’ve got it.

Do you have the same functions.php in your “buddypress-home” theme?

This is the code that does the magic:

function bp_show_home_blog() {

global $bp, $query_string;



if ( $bp->current_component == BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG ) {

$pos = strpos( $query_string, 'pagename=' . BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG );



if ( $pos !== false )

$query_string = preg_replace( '/pagename=' . BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG . '/', '', $query_string );



query_posts($query_string);



if ( is_single() )

bp_core_load_template( 'single', true );

else if ( is_category() || is_search() || is_day() || is_month() || is_year() )

bp_core_load_template( 'archive', true );

else

bp_core_load_template( 'index', true );

}

}

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

You can go with Wishlist and let us know how it goes!

The plugins on the link you listed should clearly let someone know if it is WPMU-compatbile or not.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Cool! Glad to see you’re up and running!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Okay I think I can safely say it’s a BP theme issue.

You need to make sure your code is exactly the same as the default wp-content/themes/bphome/comments.php (or wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bphome/comments.php)

Try that.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Hey Peter,

Those are all WP plugins and not WPMU ones.

I would steer clear of them.

The Supporter plugin I listed is WPMU-compatible (and as far as I know, BuddyPress-compatible, although I haven’t tried or bought it myself! hehe).

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

The Invite Friends plugin hasn’t been updated for BP 1.0.2 yet.

I just checked Giovanni’s blog (the developer of the plugin) and he says that a new release will be up in a few days.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

I can’t access your site at the moment because the DNS isn’t resolving to your website.

Sounds like it could be a BP issue after all, but a lot of other BP sites have comments working fine:

eg. http://simplercomputing.net/bp/blog/buddypress-chat-plugin/

Silly question, do you have comments enabled on the main blog?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

There’s a WPMU premium plugin called Supporter, which you can use to achieve two levels. But not three. I think that’s the case, but someone may want to correct me!

Downside is you have to pay to “subscribe” or download these premium plugins @ $79 / month.

Supporter premium plugin:

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

twdsje, by the sound of it, I’m guessing you’re using the default WordPress MU home theme.

You can choose a different theme you know!

Do you even have BuddyPress installed?

If you do, select the BuddyPress home theme or some other WordPress theme in the WPMU admin area and you’ll see something entirely different.

That’s the beauty of themes!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Hey Peter,

It’s safe, but when upgrading to the newest BP version, you’ll have to remember to make this change again.

Either that, or until some option in the admin area is made.

I’m using BeLogical’s fix plus a CSS hack to hide the “Create a Blog” field right now.

There is no voting system, Peter. Although you can leave a message on the trac:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/835

You can login with your existing BP username and password there.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Looks like your BP site is up and running!

What is your problem again?

Are you saying you can’t access the BuddyPress menus in the WPMU admin area?

ht*tp://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=buddypress/bp-core.php

What happens when you try to go there?

It could be an issue with RewriteRules if you changed the settings in the .htaccess file…

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

This doesn’t sound like a BuddyPress issue.

It’s a WPMU issue; to be more specific, it’s a theme issue.

Do you want to show a link to comments or do you want to show actual comments?

There are number of ways to do this… theme hacking or adding a widget which displays the latest comments.

Adding a widget would be the simplest, but it depends on what you want to do.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

btw, good luck with your conference in November

Oh and be sure to green light this thread… set the thread to “resolved” at the top!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Just ran into this issue myself.

Should be an option in “BuddyPress > General Setup”.

I’ll add a trac ticket for this.

[EDIT]

Trac ticket added – https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/835

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

As far as I know, there isn’t such a plugin for BP, however there are some for MU.

Did a quick Google search; here’s two promising solutions:

1) https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/1659

2) http://plugins.paidtoblog.com/wpmu-power-tools/

Just wanted to reiterate that none of these take care of BP though… so you might want to keep this under consideration.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Hmm… some other people use wp-load.php to achieve deep integration, but that drives down performance quite a bit.

If you’re having trouble including wp-blog-header.php, then I don’t know what to tell you!

Something’s definitely up! Are you sure you have no errors in your server log or PHP log?
