BuddyPress.org

Just one more thing: I am using facebook connect plugin and once I did as you said, members who sign up through their facebook account get empty avatar now. It used to be their facebook avatar…

UPDATE: Actually I just checked the demo site and facebook avatars dont show there either, so the problem is the plugin I guess?!

How can that be fixed?

Thanks in advance

I have wordpress mu installed at the subdomain http://wpmu.zyrot.com . All blogs are then located at http://yourbloghere.wpmu.zyrot.com . The Forums are fully installed at http://forums.zyrot.com and I was able to integrate users and cookies. I really would like to do deep integration so that I can have the buddybar and so that I make my own theme for the forums. If you can help me, it would be very appreciated.

Thanks

No problem. Thanks Burt for the idea.

BTW, I realized why functions.php wasn’t working by default in my case. I am currently integrated with BBP 0.9.0.5, which didn’t have this feature – it was introduced in 1.0.

Thanks for your response JJJ!

I am using the wildcard subdomain setup. I don’t know what you mean by waving wpmu setup in a sudomain??

Thanks

The deep integration method I include with my BuddyBar for bbPress should take care of the 404 situation. Give it a shot and let me know how you think it works. I’m not super pro at understanding the ins and outs of SEO and redirect but I think it’s working okay so far.

Ok! I’m totally stuck and I have no idea why. I am trying to integrate wordpress mu 2.7.1 with the bbpress 1.01 and the most recent version of buddypress using deep integration.

As soon as I add the deep integration code:

if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) & !defined( ‘XMLRPC_REQUEST’ )) {

define( ‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false );

//

// You will need to get the ABSOLUTE path to this file |

// \|/

include_once( ‘/home/admin/wpmu/wp-blog-header.php’ );

header( “HTTP/1.1 200 OK” );

header( “Status: 200 All rosy” );

}

I am redirected to http://wpmu.zyrot.com/wp-signup.php?new=forums.zyrot.com I can’t even install or activate the plugin. Somebody please help me here. i would really appreciate it!

Thanks

There is a bug with running the latest version of WordPress MU and BuddyPress together. I am not aware of a proper fix yet, keep your eye on https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-mu-281-released.

YOU ARE THE BEST REBOOT NOW! It worked for me too!!!

I have the same problem as you guys any update on this???

I give up. I will wait until precise instructions are available for integration with bbpress 1.0.1. I’ll be closely watching this and other threads on wp mu 2.8.1. I’m not sure if it is php 5.3.0 that might be causing me problems.

I’ve tried that as well. I’m using firefox and it has a function for selecting and deleting individual cookies. I’ve also tried moving the constants to the bottom of wp-config.php since I wondered if wp-settings.php which is loaded at the bottom of wp-config.php is somehow overriding the constants.

Does bbPress actually load wp-config.php for integration to pick up settings??? I haven’t had a chance to trace through and find out what files are loaded.

John, I tried commenting out that setting and there was no joy. I’ve been focusing on the cookie domain:

on the wordpress side, on logging in the wordpress_logged_in_* cookie has the cookie *Domain* ‘.bz.dev‘, whereas on the bbpress side the cookie has the *Host* ‘bz.dev‘.

So on the wordpress side there is an extra ‘.’.

It does this irrespective of whether COOKIE_DOMAIN in wp-config.php is:

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.bz.dev’ );

or

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘bz.dev’ );

My understanding is that if cookie handling is the same on the wordpress and the bbpress sides of the integration, then the login state should be retained.

It seems to me that the problem is may be related to this COOKIE_DOMAIN constant and how it is being handled (or ignored) by wordpress (and/or bbpress).

Is anyone having any success determining the steps for a fresh install of WP MU 2.8.1, bbPress 1.0.1 and buddypress 1.0.2?

I can’t get the WP MU 2.8.1 and bbPress 1.0.1 integration playing together. I’ve tried the bbPress Integration plugin for wordpress. This plugin shows one section with wordpress constants COOKIEHASH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, SITECOOKIEPATH and COOKIEPATH under the “Save Changes” button:

define( ‘COOKIEHASH’, ‘8601cf66cb0dd7bfc31ae5a1499a18a4’ );

define( ‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ‘.bz.dev’ );

define( ‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

define( ‘COOKIEPATH’, ‘/’ );

I’m working on an offline development server on my Mac (XAMPP running php 5.3.0). I was using MAMP Pro but stopped using that when I found out their was an incompatibility with the libxml / php versions it was using.

Currently I have to logout of one backend to access (login) to the other (or clear cookies) to access either backend. I can’t be logged into both at the same time. It’s sharing usernames and password okay …

Are there any tricks that people have been using to try and debug this?

I’m quite keen to work from a fresh install of latest releases of all the components rather than working through upgrades of previous versions (which are also tricky to integrate).

I’ve tried stirring in newt’s eyes and frogs legs into the cauldron but they don’t seem to help.

@Russell:

HOWEVER…

I lose the forums function in BuddyPress groups

Remember you also need the XMLRPC call in your bb-config.php as well for group forums.

$bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;

(goes right before ?> in bb-config.php)

Do this again and make sure you have the XMLRPC line in bb-config.php

JJJ’s method, it looks like /home/public_html/…

But that way will get BuddyBar in bbPress to work and my forums integration from BuddyPress breaks.

The only way to keep the forums integration in BuddyPress is to leave it as http://mywebsite.com/wp-blog-hear.php

I just have no idea why that works…

Link to John’s WPMU ticket regarding bbPress for reference (just if some want to refer to it):

https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/1032

I’m going to try upgrading to WPMU 2.8.1 on my testbox and see what happens as well.

FYI, I’ve been using JJJ’s method since day one!

I followed r-a-y’s advice and used the ABS path in my bb-config.php file.

I can activate and use the BuddyBar in bbPress normally.

HOWEVER…

I lose the forums function in BuddyPress groups, but if I go back to bb-config.php and use the URL for the include_once line I get the forums functionality back and BuddyBar stops working, i.e. it disappears from bbPress.

I guess I don’t REALLY have deep integration working, but the forums functionality works as I would expect and right now that is what I am concerned about.

I’m going to have to sit out and watch this play out and hopefully an easy to follow guide comes out to integrate the latest versions of WPMU, BP, and BB.

My setup may not be “right” but it works as I want it so that’s all I can ask for right now.

Great scott! Just when I thought all the craziness of bbPress was done!
