OK. That seems to have me all sorted and things working on my development install. Now to deploy it to the testing environment before making it live.

If only I knew git or some other useful tool for doing this more rapidly, but thats another topic…

Thanks for all the help @mercime and @djpaul

[@stoi2m1 Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Ah it does under the network admin, but not under site admin. I will run that now and see where that gets me. Thank You.

Ive got most all of that sorted. Seems my earlier issues were coming from plugins which needed to be upgraded. Commenting out my functions.php caused some of the others.

Now when ever I go to any of the Buddypress specific pages I get 404 errors. I can not access the activity page nor the members and I quite trying after that. Are there some places in the database which have site specific URLS that I should update to get these pages working? Or is there something that has changed in the recent version of Buddypress which I need to make updates somewhere in my theme?

Maybe this is a good time to install the Theme Check Plugin and have a look at the results.

I should be getting back to this in about a week or so.

@r-a-y do you have any input on this?

[@stoi2m1 Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Would using some javascript to fill the value of a hidden field name signup_blog_path do the trick?

Or should I just remove the bp_core_signup function and replace it with my own?

Im also trying to fight spam and a recent change to my signup form has increased the number of spam signups. Is there a good solution for helping ensure a human is signing up to buddypress? Im also trying to evaluate whether the vulnerability is from buddypress or my theme. How could I tell?

Bump.

Just looking for a little info on this.

I hoping to be able to force members blog url/path to use their username by default during signup.

And after a little discussion trying to understand if there is an issue if users, use a username or more specificly a blog path of soemthing like category, members or any of the other immediate sub paths after the domain. What would have priority, user blog paths or the main sites control over the domain and sub directory paths.

Thanks,
Jesse

For anyone with a similar problem. I have resolved my problem and here is a little info on what I did.

It seems the problem was resolved at the same time while trying to resolve another problem I had. I believe the issue was coming from a jquery or javascript conflict. All seemed good on my test server so I installed the new theme on my live server all seemed to be good there too

It is possible for javascript and jquery errors to come from both the theme and plugins so always consider starting your trouble shooting with the default theme and all plugins disable and remove all plugins from the muplugins folder. This will give you a good base to verify things are operational from the beginning.

Thanks Again for the help @r-e-y and @boonegorges

@nahummadrid, Thanks for the response.

You’ve got me thinking that I already have an issue then.

For instance I have a page named music. The URL for it is myblog.com/music.

If a user signed up and made their username music then their blog URL would be the same myblog.com/music.

Or am I missing something?

Maybe a prefix can be added to the blogs like what has been done for all of the other elements within wordpress.

[@stoi2m1 Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

@boonegorges , @r-a-y I have setup my test environment and I have found that it is my theme causing the problem. I have made some changes to it and Im not certain to which area I should be looking in for problems. Can you point me to some of the main function which are used for the messaging? Thanks.

[@stoi2m1 Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

Ill setup a test environment to work on this problem. Ill add some info to what i find when I get that far, thanks for the suggestions (they are the usual things to try I was just looking to avoid all of that if i could). I have about 200 regular users of the site and I dont want to do any work on the live site. SO look for me to add some info in the near future. Thanks Again

[@stoi2m1 Participant 15 years, 5 months ago]

@r-a-y I think my issue is beyond a simple email issue. I installed the email plugin you mentioned just to humor the situation. When I try to send a private message I get redirected to the homepage of my site. So I could either be experiencing a 404 error or some other similar problem.

Also Im not even getting notifications at the recipient. I also do not have a message in the senders sent message box nor in the recipients inbox.

Thanks,

[@stoi2m1 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

@r-a-y thanks for the response. Can you point in the right direction to resolving a problem Im having with Messaging not working? I go to my member page and try to send a message to anyone. It says it has sent, but it is never received.

[@stoi2m1 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

Bump, if my question is too complicated then say so, and just give me some pointers to start seeing if different parts of these systems are working and not working. Like what files these functions are in or what functions i should be taking a look at.

Thanks

[@stoi2m1 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

Your best bet is to modify the css for the theme. I use Fifefox with the plugin Firebug. This allows you to highlight different sections of the site and see its styling and modify till you get things right and then apply that to your actual code.

Your problem is not buddypress related and is better suited in a html/css forum.

[@stoi2m1 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

After much effort to restore the site. I eventually made a backup of the database and installed it into a testdatabase on the same server.

I then updated WPMU to WP 3.0.1 and Buddypress 1.2.6.. Once I completed that I was able to successfully activate Buddypress.

Now my issue is with images links. All of my avatars and images are not displaying. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks…

@d-a-n My captcha never verifies and gets the same error no matter the condition of the captcha response field. If its empty, wrong or correct I get the error ‘That reCAPTCHA response was incorrect’. Ive tried changing the logic around and the only other outcome is the captcha is always true.

Can you tell me what you did to fix it?

[@stoi2m1 Participant 15 years, 12 months ago]

The support around here Sucks, And the Documentation for Buddypress Sucks.

For those of you looking for this solution here you go.

This gave me the member type which is field number 2.
$mem_type = bp_get_profile_field_data( array(‘user_id’=>bp_get_member_user_id(),’field’=>2 ));
