BuddyPress.org

Ray, I understand that. But when we are all trying it, the email is not even getting sent and there’s no account to activate, because it’s not getting created. When you hit “complete sign up” the same registration page just refreshes itself.

Again, I know it’s not just my computer because I’ve had friends try it as well – with the same problem.

The above code hasn’t changed anything.

This issue appears in the pages listed above, as the sidebar has been moved to below the content. I’ve created an account where you can go in and see the issue for yourselves, as I don’t think you’d be able to see it otherwise.

user: test

password: test

Thanks for the help so far, even if it hasn’t worked out I still appreciate it If you could go in and have a nosey that would be great

Sorry for the trouble anointed. I’m pretty sure this only applies to subdomain installs on the group step create blog function.

The work around for now is as follows, please test this and let me know if that works for you as well. Create the group as usual, but do not create a groupblog. Then visit the group admin and click “Group Blog”. Enable the groupblog and let it create a new blog. Don’t worry about the address we mention (we just show that as information anyway), we just never took subdomains into account, sorry about that. Check your wp-admin and notice the blog is now created successfully as a subdomain blog and the group will work accordingly.

This worked for me, if that works for you I’m pretty sure where it is going wrong and we will fix this in the next release.

Permalinks are also still an issue…if people can share code fixes releases will come quicker, just tight up a bit at the moment. However bugs have major priority and we will try to get it resolved asap.

somebody asked how to add the login form to the front page.

In widget.php

find:

<div id="third-section" class="widgetHome">

add this right after:

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>



<?php do_action( 'bp_before_sidebar_me' ) ?>



<div id="sidebar-me">

<a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?>">

<?php bp_loggedin_user_avatar( 'type=thumb&width=40&height=40' ) ?>

</a>



<h4><?php bp_loggedinuser_link() ?></h4>

<a class="button logout" href="<?php echo wp_logout_url( bp_get_root_domain() ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Log Out', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>



<?php do_action( 'bp_sidebar_me' ) ?>

</div>



<?php do_action( 'bp_after_sidebar_me' ) ?>



<?php if ( function_exists( 'bp_message_get_notices' ) ) : ?>

<?php bp_message_get_notices(); /* Site wide notices to all users */ ?>

<?php endif; ?>



<?php else : ?>



<?php do_action( 'bp_before_sidebar_login_form' ) ?>



<p id="login-text">

<?php _e( 'To start connecting please log in first.', 'buddypress' ) ?>

<?php if ( bp_get_signup_allowed() ) : ?>

<?php printf( __( ' You can also <a href="%s" title="Create an account">create an account</a>.', 'buddypress' ), site_url( BP_REGISTER_SLUG . '/' ) ) ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</p>



<?php if(function_exists('twit_connect')){twit_connect();} ?>



<form name="login-form" id="sidebar-login-form" class="standard-form" action="<?php echo site_url( 'wp-login.php', 'login' ) ?>" method="post">

<label><?php _e( 'Username', 'buddypress' ) ?><br />

<input type="text" name="log" id="sidebar-user-login" class="input" value="<?php echo attribute_escape(stripslashes($user_login)); ?>" /></label>



<label><?php _e( 'Password', 'buddypress' ) ?><br />

<input type="password" name="pwd" id="sidebar-user-pass" class="input" value="" /></label>



<p class="forgetmenot"><label><input name="rememberme" type="checkbox" id="sidebar-rememberme" value="forever" /> <?php _e( 'Remember Me', 'buddypress' ) ?></label></p>



<?php do_action( 'bp_sidebar_login_form' ) ?>

<input type="submit" name="wp-submit" id="sidebar-wp-submit" value="<?php _e('Log In'); ?>" tabindex="100" />

<input type="hidden" name="testcookie" value="1" />

</form>



<?php do_action( 'bp_after_sidebar_login_form' ) ?>



<?php endif; ?>

For anyone that runs across the problem. I never got any response from anyone here so I found an Ajax login plugin that is working beautifully as a workaround. I’m also not having any issues with spambot fake registrations this way either.

Okay, I am still having this same problem, but now on a new website same server DELL PowerEdge 2950, same envrionment (Windows 2008 Server SP2, IIS 7, PHP v5.3.1, My SQL v5.1.41) I am using BP 1.2.2 svn 2853. I click on the “create group” link, i get a 404 error for 3 to 4 seconds and then it redirects to the proper url without a problem. I’ve created a test user account, it’s testuser with the password test2000 if anyone needs to verify the issue. Here is a copy of my web.config, I just gave the “groups” directory under my theme folder “full control”, so I am not sure what else it could be but something I am missing in my web.config? or any other thoughts?

ruthlessbookie, you were right on the money – thank you very much indeed…

This is an issue with the Buddypress Template Pack – that is, the Template Pack does a great job of fitting Buddypress fairly neatly into an existing theme – and on going back through everything again, the Template Pack run-through does mention the navigation tags – but this perhaps needs to be emphasised a little more, making the point that without the Groups navigation tag you can’t actually get to the Create a Group option?

Also – the problem with the new accounts not setting up was that I was using a capital letter in the name. In the default Buddypress theme, this brings up an error message that explains that only lowercase can be used. It would probably be helpful to quite a few people if that same error message could be duplicated in the Template Pack – or failing that, it might be a good idea to tell people to emphasise to their visitors that the name needs to be in lowercase (since it’s not a very common request).

Still, having got through these minor hiccups, we’re up and running – and it really does do a surprisingly good job out of the box – impressive work, everyone involved…

Thanks for your help, r-a-y!

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be in there either. I have a faint memory of seeing a mention of choosing ‘Create group’ from the BuddyBar menu (but can’t for the life of me remember where I saw it!). Either way, I don’t seem to have a ‘Create a Group’ option anywhere obvious.

I’ve also noticed that I don’t seem to be able to create a new account – when I fill in the new account page and submit it, I’m just sent back to the same page, with all the details except for the password filled in. And yet one other person appears to have been able to set up a new account.

Does this sound wrong enough for me to need to try a fresh install, do you think?
