sadly we have to stick like glue to the stable packaged releases of RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), so a php upgrade out-of-cycle is highly unlikely. Bring on RHEL6…

@DJPaul – have verified with plugins disabled and default theme installed… same story.

Just for completeness, I fixed those IE errors by changing

JSON.parse(c)
to
jQuery.parseJSON(c)

in availability.js and email_checker.js

Thanks for the plugin, however I found the ajax auto-checkers were failing in IE6 and IE7. I fixed it by changing

JSON.parse(c)
to
jQuery.parseJSON(c)

in availability.js and email_checker.js

>>Just because Facebook does something a particular way doesn’t make it a best practise – true, but you can bet your bottom dollar they’ll have done some serious multi-variate testing on the conversion rates of that sign-up form. There are plenty of arguments on both sides, but as part of a full usability overhaul I’m […]

It’s all about cutting those barriers to entry…
As Ehegwer says, self-service via the password reset function is something everyone will be familiar with. Facebook for example, has no password confirmation requirement.

Anyhow, in the end I did it with a small and relatively unobtrusive core hack.

Anyone know if it’s possible to remove the rather superfluous password confirmation input box on the registration form? A quick bit of googling has turned up nothing useful 🙁

Ok, nevermind – I fixed it by removing the stray commas at the end of the data arrays on lines 15 and 54 of :

buddypress-group-email-subscription/bp-activity-subscription-js.js

… could you clean this up for the next release?

PS, thanks for the awesome plugin 🙂

In IE6 and 7 I get a javascript error when visiting the groups page, and consequently the pop up box containing the various email options will not appear when clicking on the links… anyone else had this? I’ve tried disabling all plugins and reverting to default theme but no joy.

@DJPaul I’m on php 5.1.6 and get this problem. Other unusual bits about my setup are that it’s a sub-directoy install and I’m using a proxy for all outgoing script connections.

Hiya, thanks for the plugin. Unfortunately I can’t get it working and get this warning message at the top of the page:

Is this possible without creating multiple users?

Answer is here: http://uk.php.net/callback

call_user_func('MyClass::myCallbackMethod'); // == php 5.2.3

Ok, well not to worry – I made it work by replacing all the add_action calls with this syntax:

add_action( 'get_header', array('MM_BUDDYPRESS_PRIVATE_COMMUNITY', 'restrict_access' ) );

Thanks all for the speedy patches. As JJJ points out, the first one will be tricky to get ‘right’… needs the option to reassign groups to a given user instead of deleting.

not running any caching yet, no. I’ve narrowed down the problem however – it actually seems to be caused by deleting the wp USER who created the group. Doing that removes the user’s group(s) from the listings page, but doesn’t remove them from wp_bp_groups (and therefore the count is also incorrect). thanks for clarifying on […]

running on WP 3.0.0 and BP 1.2.5.2. Only unusual thing is that I’m using a proxy for external http connections. Any idea how I can troubleshoot? (The debug mode is not much help because of this other problem: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/installed-and-activated-buddypress-wall-of-warnings/)

I have the same problem – did you find any resolution?

I’m also finding that deleting a group does not delete its forum from the wp_bb_forums database table

Hi thanks for your suggestions everyone, and sorry for the delay… I didn’t receive any email notification of these replies – is that normal? I’m still very new to BP…

Hi,

Due to some tight security on our server I need to upgrade WP and its plugins manually. Is there anything special that needs to be done in order to manually upgrade BP, other than copy the files over?
