Right….

Is there a way to do a “light” integration that will only do the avatars without doing all the other mess and without the plugins that do everything else??

Thanks for the answer, Burt. Sounds like it wouldn’t be too difficult for someone that knew what they were doing… but lost on a non-coder like me.

In the default bbpress theme (kakumei), I found post.php which has:

<div id="position-<?php post_position(); ?>">

<div class="threadauthor">

<?php post_author_avatar_link(); ?>

<p>

<?php post_author_link(); ?><br />

<small><?php post_author_title_link(); ?></small>

</p>

</div>

Would it be something like replacing “post_author_avatar_link();” with “function bp_core_get_avatar( $user, $version = 1, $width = null, $height = null, $no_tag = false ) ” from bp-core-avatars.php?

That seems too easy, so I doubt that’s it. Does anybody have a few minutes to type out a quick how-to?

thanks for the wonderful fix

Jeff, thanks for explaining where the data is stored. I will check my database and see if I notice anything unusual.

As far as installation, no, the site was installed and configured on June 1, and then my students started accessing on June 2. That’s why this has seemed so odd to me that some students show all info and most don’t.

I will mention that I didn’t do the install. I just set up hosting with TMD Hosting, and they offer complete BuddyPress install (with BBPress) as part of their service. My previous hosting was not configured to handle BuddyPress, so I had to go host shopping. I don’t have previous experience with BuddyPress, but I’ve been using WP for years, and as far as I can tell from the backend, everything seems to have been installed correctly, and the BBPress forums correctly integrated with BuddyPress. The only hitch has been with this user info.

added define(‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 1); in wp-config at this moment, and nothing change…

oh yes Jeff, and not just once…

i’ve no problem to see the search and login bar, adminbar or “buddybar” with bp logo, My Account … Visit does not show.

in the code that does not load the JS etc. (for adminbar) and i really don’t know why the other parts are loaded and that no.

Oh one more thing! I think my issue before was that I was using a newer version of bbpress on my install. I didn’t realize that until I went back through The Easy Button’s integration instructions:

http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/04/30/integrating-buddypress-10-wpmu-and-bbpress/

This time around I used the bbpress he linked to directly and it was the old green interface. The one I used on the last screwy installation was a newer one with an interface much more like the current WordPress version. So that’s something else folks might want to try if they’re having trouble (going back down to an earlier BBPress install.)

I was able to import users and groups very easily via PHPMyAdmin so I didn’t really lose anything with the clean reinstallation.

Okay, here are the answers to the questions that I know will get asked. Hope this helps.

1. Which version of WPMU you are running: 2.7.1

2. Whether you’ve installed WPMU in a subdirectory or as a subdomian: it is installed in the root folder. I also did a previous installation in a subdirectory. Both results were the same.

3. Whether you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU. If so, from which version: No, first time installed wpmu

4. Whether WPMU was functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress: yes. If you are defining “functioning properly” as using the multi-forum capability, then I wouldn’t know….I didn’t want WPMU for that. I just wanted WPMU so I could use BP.

5. Which version of BuddyPress you are running: v1.0. Installed myself….didn’t use any scripts.

6. Whether you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated, No. BP was the only plugin that was installed.

7. Whether you are using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes: standard. I attempted to use the standard BP themes, and yes, I made sure that all files had been moved to the appropriate locations as per the instructions that were given.

8. If running bbPress, which version: ????? What’s bbPress?

9. A list of any errors in your server’s log files? Didn’t look. You’re talking to a novice. Wouldn’t know how to look at any server log files. I’m using Yahoo if that tells you anything.

Well, the clean install fixed whatever was broken. I’m having some troubles getting forum integration going (it’s not seeing the bbpress files) but I’m not going to start that up here! (I may just wait until bbpress is more stable before moving forward w/integration since I kinda think it’s possible that’s where my problems came from anyway.)

So to anyone having these kinds of weird ajax-y-ish problems? I recommend a clean install! I’m not going to mark this as resolved since @Rogercoathup may still want to be working on it — I’ll let him click the switch.

Thanks for your help, Jeff!

thanks for reminding me about it

actually i reinstalled bbpress and left out this line in the second time.

another information… i’ve tryied with 0.9.0.4 and buddybar works but login no, i’ve tested 1.0-alpha-6 login work but buddybar no, and the same with 1.0-rc-1 and 1.0-rc-2 latest trunk…

any help is really, but really appreciated!

Thanks Andy. So I need to figure out whether having the logout accessible from everywhere is important enough to incur the overhead of loading WP in bbPress.

The BuddyPress forum seems pretty responsive, but I’m on a shared server.

Great work on BP. Amazing what you’re empowering people to do with their sites.
