BuddyPress.org

Hi There

I have installed the buddypress bar for the forums . But i am not getting any link displaying, just the css, the actual buddypress menus are not there.

Click here for the forums

Click here for the wordpress install

We have used the deep integration and i have added the lines to my bb-config.php, the path to the file is correct.

I have added the two functions ie

add_action( 'bb_head', 'bp_core_add_js' );

add_action( 'bb_admin_head', 'bp_core_add_js');

You can ignore the “invite new member” link on the top right hand side, its just a div postioned as absolute.

I forgot to mention my installation details:

1) wpmu 2.7.1

2) buddypress 1.0

3) bbpress 0.9.0.4

Also, I think this might be very important thing. When I am loged in to forum as an forumadmin and I go in another tab to wp-admin page, I’ve got this message straight away on my screen: “Please log in again.”. Even before I type something………

[PANIC]

heh, this is insane, I’ve been trying different methods all the time and still cannot get everything done properly. I think I am having issues only with cookies now. Single sign on doesn’t work but I can properly log-in on forum and wpmu with my username I registered on wpmu. I’ve been checking cookies array and after loging to forum 1 more appears that’s why I think I have a problem with this part. Also, when I log-in as an admin to wpmu and in another tab as and forumadmin to bbpress – I cannot access forum admin section for some reason. Please note these are 2 different users in database.

Could you guys point me into the right direction where something can be wrong? I am running out of all permutations where should I change something

I am nearly there, I know it, it must be something simple I am missing. Please help, it’s 3rd day I cannot crack it!

One other bug I encountered when using the BuddyBar was the second-level menus weren’t popping out in bbPress.

I found out that the problem is due to some CSS rules overriding one another.

In /plugins/buddypress/bp-core/css/admin-bar.css, move line 177 under

#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul ul, #wp-admin-bar li.sfhover ul li ul {

left: -999em !important;

}

So your admin-bar CSS from line 171 should look like:

/* third-and-above-level lists */



#wp-admin-bar ul li ul ul {

margin: -28px 0 0 183px !important;

}



#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li.sfhover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li ul li.sfhover ul { /* lists nested under hovered list items */

left: auto !important;

}



#wp-admin-bar ul li.align-right:hover ul {

right: 0 !important;

}



#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul ul, #wp-admin-bar li.sfhover ul li ul {

left: -999em !important;

}



#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li.sfhover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li ul li.sfhover ul { /* lists nested under hovered list items */

left: auto !important;

}



... and the rest of it here

That was the case for me anyway! If you’re using a custom admin-bar CSS, make sure you make the change as well.

I did

But thanks for posting that for others, ipstenu!

Don’t forget to update backpress too! read Sam’s post two down from _ck_’s for that

Thanks for debugging, matthijsv.

John, Transposh should be added to the readme.txt for known incompatible WP plugins with the BuddyBar plugin.

Thanks for your support!

Figured it out: Transposh Translation Filter was causing the blank page. http://transposh.org/

Cool! Glad to see you’re up and running!

wp-load.php got the same result.

Started off with a clean install (was planning on doing this later on) the Buddybar plug-in is working great!

Now enabling/installing plug-in’s one by one to might figure out what caused the problem.

This might sound silly but, here’s what I would do (after backing everything up). Leave your bb-config file. Delete everything else in the forums directory. Upload alpha 6. Then, upload bbPress 1. Don’t DELETE alpha 6. Just overwrite it. I’ve been messing with this upgrade for a couple of days now and if I delete/replace, the update doesn’t work. If I overwrite, it does work. Seems as though there’s a file that’s been removed from the new version that buddypress looks for.

If that doesn’t work…..

I’m wondering if your upgrade actually upgraded. The way I do the update is, I rename bb-config to something like bb-config2. Then I replace the files in the forums directory & navigate to /forums. It asks for your database info & then says “oh. There’s already a database. Maybe you want to use the upgrade script” You click the upgrade link and it does a couple changes and says it’s done. Then, I open up the newly created bb-config & (using the OLD bb-config) I put back any of the custom codes that I need such as the cookies & defines.

I hope something in there helps.

Hmm… some other people use wp-load.php to achieve deep integration, but that drives down performance quite a bit.

If you’re having trouble including wp-blog-header.php, then I don’t know what to tell you!

Something’s definitely up! Are you sure you have no errors in your server log or PHP log?

No, I can only activate the plugin without adding the deep integration code.

Conclusion: problem is with the including wp-blog-header.php in bb-config, not specifically in the plugin.

Without the deep integration code the forum is working perfectly.

So you never had the chance to activate the plugin?

I would recommend removing the deep integration code and seeing if you can access your forums first.

Make sure your bbPress forums are in working order, then add the deep integration code, then activate the plugin.

Nothing happens, the server just sents a total blank page to the browser. So there’s no activating the plugin unfortunately.

So what happens when you go to your bbPress forums?

The last thing you got to do is reactivate the BuddyBar plugin in bbPress!

Did you do that?

It’s hosted on a subdomain, but when I echo the output of $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’], this seems to be matching with the correct path.

Yes you need deep integration for the BuddyBar bbPress plugin.

Make sure you follow the instructions in the readme.txt.

Also for the forum look… unless you’re using the default BuddyPress look + Manoj’s bbPress theme (http://manojkumar.org/buddypress-theme-for-bbpress/), you’ll have to basically create a new theme that matches your WP/BuddyPress theme.

There’s no really good way around it I’m afraid.

Sorry you should use the official bb-config.php instructions that JJJ left, except replace:

include_once( '/the/absolute/path/to/your/wp-blog-header.php' );

for

include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-blog-header.php');

—

One question though, where do you have WPMU installed? in the root?

Hey ray,

I’m using

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-blog-header.php'); right now but no different result.

I find it strange that there is no output at all, no error messages…

Ok, no changes to wp-blog-header.

Hey matthijsv,

You shouldn’t have to mess with wp-blog-header.php.

Unless you made changes to it.

Hey matthijsv,

What happens when you switch out in bb-config.php:

include_once( '/the/absolute/path/to/your/wp-blog-header.php' );

for

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-blog-header.php');
