Thanks Ron. I’ll try it on my dummy site. Sounds a lot easier than what I had conjured up in my mind.

[@zenseeker Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

Thanks Paul,
I had define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 );
but not define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );

It’s working, kind of, but now there’s another issue.

A user can now activate their account from the activation email if they use the register from the wordpress meta widget on the main site.

However, if I try to use the buddypress toolbar signup from the main site, it just sits at the main site homepage. Previously that would take you to http://community.howtomakeadesignerhandbag.com/register/

I think I’d like to not use the wp-register at all and somehow get the bp signup/login in the sidebar of http://community.howtomakeadesignerhandbag.com/register/
showing on the main site homepage and allow users to signup either from the toolbar or from the sidebar. But I want them to be returned to the main site homepage instead of the buddypress homepage.

Is this possible?

Thanks for your help and patience in trying to understand what I’m trying to do.

[@zenseeker Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

@Angelos Konstantinidis Do you mean on this buddypress.org? I get the same error on this site. Anyone addressing this? We can’t change any persmissions on this site. Thanks.

[@zenseeker Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

Sorry, Burtadsit, but can you break this down a bit more for the truly moronic like me? I’m having the same problem and I have installed vipers-video-quicktags which is nicely displaying all the various video icons in my visual editor. It is working correctly, but when the post is saved the code disappears as above. Now you say it’s a security hole. I don’t want to open up something bad, but I do want to easily add video to my posts. I don’t want to do anything with the forums.

Is this the entire code I put in a bp-custom.php file?:

function my_allowed_tags($allowedtags){

$allowedtags[’embed’] = array();

return $allowedtags;

}

add_filter( ‘edit_allowedtags’, ‘my_allowed_tags’ );

I’m confused as why you mentioned bp-forums.

And again, I really don’t want to open up something bad. What are the implications of adding this?

Thanks in advance. I know I ask pretty dumb questions.

I finally got a site up: http://thevictorygarden.us

Not much content yet. Just really a concept. Any tips, ideas or guidance will be most appreciated. If your starting a garden this spring, please do join. I’d love to see where we can take this. Thanks.

[@zenseeker Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

Yes, I’ve read that. Not that curious about group forums right now. Just asking what is the preferred database setup (looking long term) – one database or one for wpmu and one for bbpress with shared user tables? That’s all. Thanks.

[@zenseeker Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Was the “There was an error posting that topic.” issue ever solved. Not using cookie integration. Have followed https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=471 with no success either.

[@zenseeker Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@jtbailey, I agree wp-classifieds might not have all the bells & whistles, but when I talked to the developer he was extremely responsive. I was thinking to get him more involved with bp if possible.

A photo gallery that pulled featured pics to the frontpage like some of the magazine themes do would be nice. Would that be possible?

[@zenseeker Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

There is a wp classifieds – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-classified/

I think he\’s adapted it for wpmu. He\’s very responsive. Your mock ups are sweet, though. Maybe you could twist his arm to devote some time specifically to bp to get that tight integration look.

Also, I second Photo Galleries. Why are there no photo galleries???? Wish I could code.

[@zenseeker Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Thanks Burtadsit,

Idiot me. Probably shouldn’t have taken that hiatus from BP. All is well and working. I shall discipline myself to reading the docs before posting next time. Glad there’s docs now!

[@zenseeker Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Thanks, that didn’t work for me. I’m not using trunk. I’m using RC1 combo version.

[@zenseeker Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Oops, sorry. Got a little excited there for a minute.

[@zenseeker Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

hyrxx,

You’ve gotten wp e-commerce to work on bp & wpmu? From both the wpmu forums & the instinct forums I’m under the impression there are still problems. Something to do with the database. I think the dialog’s been going on for about a year. Got some tips you’d like to share?

[@zenseeker Participant 15 years, 12 months ago]

Hmmm, dimensionmedia, you might be on to something. Yes, I want to offer each user a blog and a store front. The people at instinct who wrote wp e-commerce have already developed something like what I have in mind for my niche. It’s http://getshopped.com. However, from posts I’ve read, I guess they had to rework the plugin to get it to work with wpmu and they’re not giving up on those little secrets. But back to your idea. Can we chat? I’m not sure I’m getting it. I’ll have to research some ecommerce themes. Just never thought of it that way. Thought I’d need a shopping cart like wp ecommerce or eshop (tried it, didn’t get it with the pages setup). Thanks for stirring up the grey matter.

Danf, let me know how you do with your testing. I just can’t fork over 55 bucks unless I’m absolutely sure it’s going to work. It looks pretty slick though.

[@zenseeker Participant 15 years, 12 months ago]

Hi Trent,

I finally gave up on cookie integration and went with just the wordpress integration. I got farther along in that I can post topics now with no errors, but adding a reply gives the dreaded red “There was an error posting that reply.” Looking over your last post gave me pause though. Are you saying to install only wpmu and bbpress, get them working, then install buddypress? Maybe I’m just tired, but the instructions from bp-forums/installation-readme.txt dont’ seen to follow that route. Makes sense though. I keep saying I’ve attempted this for the last time and moving on, but I find myself pulled back in once more with a faint glimmer of hope. I hope this isn’t the definition of insanity (always expecting different results).

Thanks for all your time in helping us.

[@zenseeker Participant 15 years, 12 months ago]

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you plan to test with buddypress? Since the developer has no immediate plans to support wpmu I’d like to know if it works with wpmu and buddypress before shelling out any money.

[@zenseeker Participant 15 years, 12 months ago]

I started getting these when I installed the latest trunk of MU. I ratcheted back to wpmu trunk r1574 and they went away. Hope that helps a little.

[@zenseeker Participant 16 years ago]

Check these topics. Not for a solution, but to know that a lot of others are having the same problem and trying to find a solution:

Group forums working yet not working

Group Forums will never work on some hosting providers

I’m getting the same error too.

[@zenseeker Participant 16 years ago]

Thanks. I’ll try that bebopcool.

[@zenseeker Participant 16 years ago]

Yep, I’ve had buddypress working fine until I started trying to integrate bbpress. I followed the instructions at https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/installation-readme.txt

which were simply great. Everything is fresh. I’m wondering if the combo install is the problem. It does say somewhere to use the trunk of buddypress for bbpress. I got so excited seeing a beta though, just had to try it.

[@zenseeker Participant 16 years ago]

burtadsit, I am totally confused and brain dead.

Excuse my ignorance.

Here are my paths:

wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/

wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/

From install instructions:

Move the “buddypress-home” folder to “wp-content/themes/” and move the “member-themes” folder to “wp-content”.

You should now have the following folder locations “wp-content/themes/buddypress-home” and “wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-home”.

How does buddypress-home get in both paths? See, I’m brain dead.

[@zenseeker Participant 16 years ago]

Boy, I thought this was going to be a go until I got this: when trying to create a group:

Warning: require_once(/home/ramona/public_html/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-home/index.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ramona/public_html/wp-includes/theme.php on line 822

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/ramona/public_html/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-home/index.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/ramona/public_html/wp-includes/theme.php on line 822

I’m logged into buddypress as the admin

I just installed fresh this morning – buddypress-combo

Fresh install of bbpress-1.0-alpha-4

Fresh install of wpmu trunk r1574

As a side note I also got an error trying to access user account, but I’ve posted that elsewhere here.

It looks like it’s almost pudding, but not quite. What am I missing?

[@zenseeker Participant 16 years ago]

You gurus seem to be on top of this, but just thought I’d add what I got. Probably time for me to grab some popcorn and just sit back. Good luck. I know you’ll figure it out. Please don’t hurt any small animals in the process!

bool(false) object(IXR_Error)#15 (2) { [“code”]=> int(-32300) [“message”]=> string(114) “transport error – could not open socket: 0 php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known” }

[@zenseeker Participant 16 years ago]

Thanks for the clarification. I didn’t know that mu had a 2.7 yet. I’ll try and google for it, but can you post where the trunk is just in case I don’t find it? All these betas and alphas and trunks, I feel like I’m walking a tight wire. But, all it takes is balance, right? I’m just happy to find something that keeps getting closer to what I’m looking for in a social site.

[@zenseeker Participant 16 years ago]

Well, I updated to trunk-641 and although I now have 3 identical groups made (from my 3 attempts at trying to create from r640), I’m now getting this even uglier error in what I think is my header, right under the buddypress toolbar:

A

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at /home/ramona/public_html/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-groups/bp-groups-ajax.php:1) in /home/ramona/public_html/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core.php on line 153

I’m over at http://www.artistswap.com if anyone wants to take a look-see.

It’s also breaking the css if I click on one of the Jewelry Artist group links.

Thanks in advance for any assistance. Things seem to be going downhill this morning.
