BuddyPress.org

Link doesn’t matter unless we have accounts on your site.

anyway, what versions are you running?

I just changed password on my install and went fine. Maybe bbpress is causing something. But I don’t have bbpress yet on my site.

My one and only suggestion for this, is that you may want to reference the trusted download sites and zip files versus your own.

While your contribution is obviously very much super duper appreciated, some people are weary of downloading files from untrusted sources, which limits your audience even though you’re trying to be helpful.

Otherwise, it seems to be as straight forward as it can be, so good job.

Thanks for contributing to the community!

Heh. After weeping tears of blood trying to integrate bbPress, buddypress and wpmu, after several installs, multiple reads of Trent’s tutorial page, I began to suspect XML-RPC problems and jumped back on the forums, found this thread and installed Burt Adsit’s lovely little plugin and am rewarded with:

-32300 >> transport error – could not open socket: -1080553356

Thanks Burt. You rock. Now to figure out how to permit XML-RPC calls locally.

Check the new sticky regarding the theme preview.

I’m going to integrate bbPress on my test install and give it a go myself this evening.

Hi All,

I just updated mekudos.com with MU 2.7.1, RC-2 and BB-Press Alpha6 and all was a success. However, I do not see an option for the home and member templates for forums to link bbpress and RC-2?

Hi all.

I just installed the bbpress forums and integrated to my wordpress mu 2.71.beta site. I a looking for help as to how to place the buddy-press theme to the forum? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian Katz

Oh, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Trent, thank you sooo much!

But where do I put the plugin, and is there a specific name it should be?

Burt-

Well, that was one of my thoughts–and why I’m asking Grandslambert to clarify what he meant by

Using WPMU 2.7 and the latest TRUNK of bbPress

I assume he meant BuddyPress. If so, is he running WPMU 2.7 but with BP 1.0_RC2? Did he install the BP folder in the proper spot? You’ve seen my questions above.

But, I’m tired and JJJ had an intriguing idea as well. So, perhaps I should get some sleep tonight and all the problems of the universe will disappear overnight!

WPMU 2.7 and the latest TRUNK of bbPress

I assume you mean BuddyPress, and not bbPress. If so, then here are a few questions:

1. What do you mean by “latest TRUNK”? Did you actually download the BP trunk from trac as a zip or use SVN? Or, did you obtain BuddyPress from the big, orange Download button that can be found on the top of any BP page?
2. What version of BuddyPress are you using?
3. Where exactly did you place the BuddyPress folder?
4. You are using WPMU 2.7 and not WPMU 2.7.1-beta1 or -beta2, correct?

I’ve been over this entire post, and the posts linked off from it. Everything is working good, but the ability to have a forum post created by a group forum. And upon creating a new group, I get the error “Attention Site Admin: Group forums require correct setup and configuration of a bbPress installation.”

The couple of comments in here that have just this problem didn’t seem to get responses. Could this be my host, Media Temple DV, not allowing the rpc calls to the server?

I’ll reply to the name issue here also. The group names and descriptions can be arbitrarily long and can trash the theme layout in bbpress. These are two different software packages Elody and I chose to be as minimally invasive as possible. I left the forum name and description up to the bbpress/wpmu admin’s discretion.

I didn’t think that a site admin would be too happy to have the theme broken by a long group name.

I included a way out also. The name and description of the group are pulled over to bbpress and are available as template tags for you to use.

oci_group_name()

oci_group_description()

It would make sense to have a searchable blog for such code snippet creations. The restrictions on proper searching in bbPress makes it difficult to find things. I get better results searching google to find things I know exist in these forums. That is where a blog would be way better

Trent

From the forums installation-readme.txt:

11. Enable user switching in bbPress by copying the following line of code into your bbPress

bb-config.php file:

$bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;

Needs to be in your bb-config.php

@John James Jacoby

Thanks John, I’ll wait for the tutorial!

Note – because of a limitation of my hosting provider (for whom I am a reseller) – they don’t allow xml-rpc calls to the same server, I have had to put bbPress on a different server from WordPress & BuddyPress, so if you want a tester to go through the tutorial I am happy to do so.

(I have a few spare domain names kicking around that I can use for this!)

This is the greatest challenge of all.

Read the integration tutorial at this website.

Read it again. Read it again. Read it again.

Follow all steps, exactly.

Use Firefox and check the cookies that are being placed when you login to BuddyPress. Chances are that you skipped a step somewhere, or that one of your cookies or plugins is out of alignment.

It is possible and they can play nice together.
