BuddyPress.org

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');

I was adding these lines (from the readme.txt)

if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) & !defined( 'XMLRPC_REQUEST' )) {

define( 'WP_USE_THEMES', false );

//

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

//                                                     |/

//include_once( '/usr/home/dragons/domains/dragonsconnect.eu/public_html/preview/wp-blog-header.php' );

header( "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" );

header( "Status: 200 All rosy" );

}

When I add the line you suggested I get the same result, no response at all from any bbpress page.

-edit-

Seems that wp-blog-header.php is causing the error, I’m expirimenting with commenting out some lines there atm.

Hey matthijsv,

What line are you adding to bb-config.php?

You should only add this to line 2:

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

Let us know what happens.

Thanks for the plugin! Using BudduPress 1.02 and Bbpres 1.01 I’expericiencing some problems:

When I add the lines to my bb-config.php the only thing I get is a blank page, (error reporting seems to be not the issue).

When I activate the plugin in the bbpress admin panel I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_site_option() in /usr/.../my-plugins/bp-buddybar.php on line 37

Any suggestions?

Quick note: this currently doesn’t rehook the javascript, but it will. Just need to sleep now. Haha!

Since JJJ is in dreamland, for those that do want the javascript hook (even though I plan on not adding it for my own usage! Sorry IE6 users! ), here’s the extra code:

Add this after line 29 of bp-buddybar.php:

add_action( 'bb_head', 'bp_core_add_js' );

add_action( 'bb_admin_head', 'bp_core_add_js');

It should work, but somebody test it with IE6 and report back.

It also works here:

http://demo.cosydale.com/forum/

It’s demo site. I’m using bbPress alpha 6, BuddyPress 1.0.1.

Cool, have U tried it with bbP A6 ?

Thanx to U and r-a-y for this !

This is a big question that will get you a big answer. I’d suggest taking a look around this forum and the bbpress.org forums also, as there are pages and pages of discussion and documentation to help you through this. Many of which are stickies so you can’t miss them.

Manoj has made a BuddyPress style theme that matches the bphome buddypress theme, so that’s something that will help you. I just release the BuddyBar plugin to help get the BuddyBar in the forums area. There’s lots of people contributing.

Man already? :p

Thanks for the update, John.

[EDIT]

Just updated! Relatively painless!

Thanks to _cK_ over at bbPress for posting a link to the changed file set only.

Hey John,

Thanks for the co-credit!

You might want to add deep integration instructions in the readme.txt.

Other than that, let’s see more BuddyPress sites out in the open!

r-a-y, I took the liberty of making this into a plugin for everyone. It’s a variant of what I’m using on the delsolownersclub.com site that I cleaned up for general usage.
