If you look at the method that I used in the bbPress Force Login plugin (in plugins forum here) and combine it with the member-login plugin I wrote, it would be quite possible to combine the 2 into a complete site solution with excluding the login and register pages. I don’t have time to look at it now, but it is possible.

The forums part is pretty neat, but it is really SIMPLE right now anyways. Andy just about didn’t add it to the beta 1.0 download. After 1.0 is released, there will likely be changes to the forums side anyways, so if you are having trouble configuring it now, it should get easier in the future!

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Having the BP plugins in your /mu-plugins/ directory and then going to your admin page should have the tables automatically created in the database. It really is that simple since all BP is just a suite of plugins for WPMU anyways. Surprised it didn’t create as normal for you to be honest.

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

If you have BP installed, it will have some wp_bp_ tables for sure. With the plugins in /mu-plugins/ you need to head to the main WPMU blog as site-admin. That will start to install some of the plugins.

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Make sure all folders are chmod 755. Can you confirm that the database fields are all there? bp_groups, bp_group_groupmeta, etc. ? What errors are you recieving in your apache error logs when you try and create a group? I see your error message in BP, but the apache one will be more insightful. As well, does apache have access to the folders that WPMU and BP are running in as it seems like it is having issues? Any additional information you can give would be helpful.

Sorry, didn’t quite get where you were getting that URL from! Looking at TRAC, it look like andy disabled it because it wasn’t working very well with IE, but didn’t disable the call to add the menu. I will create a ticket on this, but until it is fixed, you can edit:

/bp-xprofile/admin-mods/bp-xprofile-admin-mods.php

on line 9, it has:

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'xprofile_add_account_tab' );

just change that to:

//add_action( 'admin_menu', 'xprofile_add_account_tab' );

Haven’t tested that, but should work.

zanzoon, dimensionmedia is right in asking what exactly are you referring to? The site linked in your profile looks fine and seems to be operating fine. That error is on what page? What theme are trying to access it on as the 2 default themes seem to be working fine. As well, in your admin the URL to access the xprofile fields is like this:

/wp-admin/wpmu-admin.php?page=xprofile_settings

Are you trying to access the URL directory or something?

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

I will extend it once I figure out a better way to do this. It would be best extended by adding in the components themselves for people using their own themes, but I did toy with just excluding all access to the theme. That isn’t as good if you use your own theme as you have to edit the plugin. Still working on it though!

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

The “my-plugins” folder is actually based off the root of your forum install. If it is /forums/ then you would have /forums/my-plugins/ for the folder.

The real trouble with getting the forums side working is that it makes the assumption that you have WPMU and bbPress installed 100% and integrated properly even before you start trying to get the buddypress side going. Always make sure the logins are integrated and working right before you continue on.

Biegun also has a point as well. Buddypress accesses bbPress through publically accessible xmlrpc.php and if you put .htaccess in there for password protection, it will break as well since it won’t be able to access the installation.

slaFFik I would just suggest that if you reinstall WPMU 2.7, you also restart on bbPress 1.0 alpha 4 from scratch as well and then integrate the installs off the installation of bbPress and just go through all the steps again without having a bit more information.

I love Viper’s plugin and run it on my non WPMU installs. Personally though, for my buddypress installation which is really focused on more Social and less blogging, I am happy with the normal BP admin bar. My thoughts are that someone comes up with a plugin to add the “extra” functionality to the BP admin bar, not merging it. Just my 2 cents

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Awesome stuff @dimensionmedia! So looking forward to your releases on this!

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Any normal WPMU plugin that actually ties into the signup process would work. I haven’t looked in awhile, but I am thinking it was probably found at http://wpmudev.org/plugins/ or from a search on WPMU support forums. Hopefully Andy will see the thread and tell us what plugin he used!

Trent

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Are you talking about http://demo.cosydale.com/ ? I can’t even access the group to find out what the problem might be. Somewhere you are getting fatal errors and pages with “white page of death”.

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

There is also a premium plugin that allows you to edit the TOS in your admin and adds it to the signup (register) form at http://premium.wpmudev.org

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Wouldn’t it be as simple as having the plugin in mu-plugins and then just adding the call to your member theme just like any other theme?

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Even better, you leave your contact information so we can close this thread.

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

I am not very clear today, so sorry about that. Probably shouldn’t be answering questions when my attention span is so low!

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

It will most likely be fixed when beta2 comes out, so you will know about that! If nothing else, 1.0 isn’t that far away and it will be fixed by then for sure!

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Ticket is for forum activity created in forum. It only shows content created in a forum through BP.

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Didn’t see your post nicolagreco. Posting around the same time

@wardeh Missed that part. I would imagine that Andy will eventually do something with forums, but priority now is getting 1st release out. I have a ticket for forum activity in sitewide feed as well at:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/241

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/261

Known issue that even happens on testbp.org. Andy knows about it, so it should be fixed here pretty soon

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

That or pull the forum RSS into an RSS widget. That would work as well.

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

There is a WP plugin that pulls latest bbPress discussions that will work on the main blog as well as any other blog on the system now.

Don’t put them into this thread, but rather a new topic in:

Even if a blog is setup as “stop search engines, but allow normal visitors” it will not show up in the listings. It has to be 100% public. Reason is that the blog will be indexed if it showed up which is not the desired result
