BuddyPress.org

Thanks for posting that tutorial, @foxly. The ‘wp’/’admin_menu’ hook is a very old technique that has nonetheless continued to work. I’ve got that on my list of things to write about on bpdevel.wordpress.com. Maybe I’ll do so later today, and link to your very helpful wiki page.

Same issue here with BuddyPress 1.2.9 & WP 3.2.1

The problem seems to come from this file :
/buddypress/bp-groups.php
which calls
do_action( 'groups_promoted_member', $user_id, $bp->groups->current_group->id );

before the file below is included
/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-notifications.php
that should add the action to add the notification:
add_action( 'groups_promoted_member', 'groups_notification_promoted_member', 10, 2 );

Quick fix:

function addGroupNotificationFile($user_id, $group_id)
{
require_once ( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-groups/bp-groups-notifications.php' );
}
add_action('groups_promoted_member', 'addGroupNotificationFile', 100, 2);


What versions of WP and BP are you using, @esploded? What errors do you get in your web server’s error logs? I bet this is to do with https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1486

BuddyPress doesn’t use any custom post types or taxonomies. We don’t know what type of thing you want to achieve, or where you want it, but; have you checked out any of the major forms plugins?

@xberserker

Hi Tosh. We’ve created a wiki page covering the problem your plugin was experiencing, and detailing how to fix it.

We used the code you sent us as the example to make it easier for you to fix the actual plugin. If you’re not comfortable with your code being up on the wiki page, let me know and we’ll create a new example from scratch.

Note that Google is updating the servers our wiki is hosted on today. If any of the wiki pages look a bit “odd”, just hit refresh a few times.

Thanks!

We just thought it would be helpful to other developers, as many people learn best by studying other developer’s code. As requested, the “Excellent” note has been removed from the spreadsheet.

Wait wait wait – why are you deleting buddypress? I dont’ understand.

Either way if you follow the instructions to create a new forum then you are able to see your forums and click Post New Topic then you’re doing it right so far.

If you’re getting that bug there is a fix that seems to work for me, I found it on the site:

You have to go to group admin settings where you turn on/off forums for that group.

You need to check/un-check the box a few times to ‘massage’ the form into actually tuning it on. Yes I know it sounds retarded but it’s true. You click and unclick that selection box about 4 times and then save. You should be good to go.

> Will get that sorted trying to get the spreadsheet to work in the page to save time currently but will get it marked as not fail because of those.

If this is done, I’d argue that the “Excellent” ratings should just be a “pass”. The “excellent” rating, compared to the others, is subjective and is dependant on who tested the plugin (and their knowledge of PHP, WordPress and BuddyPress APIs, etc).

FAIL = “Does not run on BuddyPress 1.5. No workaround available.”
MARGINAL = “Plugin works well enough to be used. Workarounds may exist for broken functionality. Or, all plugin features work but the plugin has huge numbers of debug errors indicating it will likely break in the near future unless it is updated.”
PASS = “All plugin functions work on BuddyPress 1.5”
PASS + “Excellent” = “High quality code. In the tester’s opinion, other developers can use this plugin as a working example to study when fixing their own plugins”.

If you think you’ve found a mistake in the list, contact us and we’ll fix it. Probably within a few hours.

Other status levels:

SCRAPING = “BP-Media Team has been sent the URL of a plugin that somebody wants tested.”
QUEUED = “A snapshot of the plugin info and files has been pulled and is waiting in the test queue”
SENDING = “Plugin test package is being sent to a tester via Skype”
TESTING = “Tester has acknowledged receipt of the test package”

Thanks!

@davidtcarson Another thing: We have two search bars: one in the Buddy Bar up top and one across from the site logo. The one in the Buddy Bar is kinda useless though because it doesn’t allow you to select between Members/Groups/Forums/Posts. So, perhaps a tip in the Readme file for how someone could get rid of that one?

I just got the latest version a few hours ago. For me, the menu only looks okay if I don’t assign a menu to the theme in Appearance > Menus > Theme Locations. If I do set it, then it looks like it does in my image above.

Also, in the backend, I’m seeing this message:
“You’ll need to activate a BuddyPress-compatible theme to take advantage of all of BuddyPress’s features. We’ve bundled a default theme, but you can always install some other compatible themes or update your existing WordPress theme.”

Also, in your profile > Activity tab > Personal (when viewing another member’s profile) / Mentions / Friends / Groups, there is no spacing above the first activity stream item

That’s all I could find! Good job!

p.s. This guy sounds like he’s having a similar issue but not sure if it means anything to your issue: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/navigation-menu-at-the-bottom-of-the-page/

@clairem – perhaps the functions.php file of your custom theme needs to be updated to be compatible with the new Buddypress? I’m merely guessing because that is where you make your edits to bring most WP themes compatible with Buddypress. If it’s a premium theme the designer should be able to help you pretty quickly.

If not maybe try posting a screen shot so we can better understand if this is a css issue or something else (if you don’t want to share the URL).

@frizzo – sounds like you are looking to implement WPMU (multisite)

Here is a link to help get you started: https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

The way I’m doing it, our main buddypress site is the master domain, all users from that site can use their accounts around any of our sub-blogs or domains. There’s even a premium plugin for domain name support so you’re not just limited to a subdirectory.

Hope this helps!

One way is to change all your user’s passwords with some generic-only-you-will-know password.
Then a user is forced to reset their password when s/he attempts to login next time.

Read this post for some pointers (especially the ninja section):
http://digwp.com/2009/10/five-ways-to-change-your-wordpress-password/

I should state that BuddyPress runs on top of WordPress, so this is technically a WordPress issue.

Create a child theme and you can have your cake and eat it too!

Hi, I’m the creator of the CubePoints Buddypress Integration plugin. I updated my test site to WP 3.2.1 and BuddyPress 1.5 Beta 2.

I moved the admin menu to be under Cubepoints a few versions back so that still works. The items in the BuddyPress Admin menu are still there but when I go to the cubepoints pages on the front end (profile) I get “Page not found”.

This is what I have for the link

$cubepoint_link = ($bp->displayed_user->id ? $bp->displayed_user->domain : $bp->loggedin_user->domain) . $bp->cubepoint->slug . ‘/’;

Based on this I tried this…

$cubepoint_link = bp_get_root_domain() . ‘/’ . $bp->cubepoint->slug . ‘/’;

This is the result:

My Account > Points = http://test.mysite.net/members/xberserker/logs/

Which is correct URL wise but still shows “Page not found”

If I go to

My Account > Points > My Points (anything in the submenu) = http://test.mysite.net/logs/points/

What do I need to do? Here is my file so far. What I changed is line 131

http://pastebin.com/2vJr4U23

Also on my site site I get redirected to my home page when I tried to navigate to the activity streams for myself or the global one. On how the forums work now. If a group is private/hidden are the forum topics only visible to those in the group?

I am a huge fan of cometchat… It integrates with the BuddyPress user system (single-signon). It’s also $49.00, but well worth it as it just works (if you have a fast enough server VPS or better). This is what I use on MusicPLN.org.
