BuddyPress.org

Site’s only been half-refurb’d so far! Sorry for inconvenience until things get back to normal.

Another negative vote for wp-member – they refuse to give source code / help / proper documentation / refunds ;(

We recommend s2member – the free version is far superior than most paid plugins

I am also having the same problem but i don’t even get the error i just get looped back to the main page , this isn’t good as most don’t even know what cookies are yet alone how to enable or disable them.

further more when a user navigates to another page suddenly they are logged in, if they go back tot he main page they look logged out but again navigating to another page puts them logged in again.

I need a work around, can i just remove this check? is it mandatory for buddypress to use cookies to function? what are the risks of disabling this feature?

Conflict in plugin or theme. Please change to bp-default theme and deactivate plugins except BuddyPress.

Same issue as @sadr above, update doesn’t show and it won’t let me update in ‘add new plugin’ screen as it says I have latest version, even though I have 1.2.8.

Any idea?

I’m pretty sure this is already the way that BuddyPress works, with the exception that if you’re running multisite/network mode, only *super* admins have this ability.

After creating a new group and completing the coniguration to make it public, I cliecked “continue” and got this error.

“Fatal error: Call to undefined method wpdb::WPDB() in /home/name-redacted/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress.php on line 144”

Suggestions on how to fix, please?

thanks for you help Roger Dodger. couldn’t get the peice of shit to work, not enough documentation in the buddypress… wiki… function list? not sure what it is, but its not helpful. Anyways i used drupal to achieve the same thing in 20mins

We purchased the basic wp-member plugin to test it out. We have found the process very frustrating.
We have given up and will be requesting a refund.

Re: wp-member
No support or docs for buddypress – they refuse to help unless you purchase support tokens.
Not open source – the plugin is encrypted and requires ioncube installed on your host.
No information is give on how the plugin works with the database so trying to add functions has proved practically impossible and basically not worth the trouble or expense.

Save yourself the trouble and avoid wp-member

We are about to try http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/supporter/
This plugin actually looks way better and the docs are far more helpful.

So enthused with that fact, Boone stated it twice

This feature is coming in BuddyPress 1.3, which is coming quite soon.

Buddypress needs to do a better job of documenting things. Its like the give you a little idea but then get bored and forget to tell you the rest.

Well I think that Elgg is probably more suited for what you’re trying to achieve. The other option is to completely move across to wordpress & buddypress and convert your current site. Not sure how much work would be involved though, depends on how big the site is I guess.

Roger, This is the code I have thus far….

add_filter(“gform_post_submission_1”, “set_post_thumbnail_as”, 10, 2);
function set_post_thumbnail_as($entry, $form){

//getting first image associated with the post
$post_id = $entry[“post_id”];
$attachments = get_posts(array(‘numberposts’ => ‘1’, ‘post_parent’ => $post_id, ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’));
if(sizeof($attachments) == 0)
return; //no images attached to the post

//setting first image as the thumbnail for this post
update_post_meta( $post_id, ‘_thumbnail_id’, $attachments[0]->ID);

// update bp activty stream content.
$activity_id = bp_activity_add( array( ‘id’ => $post_id, ‘content’ => ‘$attachments’ ));
}

I understand the activity post id is different from the wordpress post id? How can I get this activity post id. Also is it okay I am using the post-submission gf filter? Is it just this simple with the correct activity add code?

Can you please help me? I’m really stuck and almost thinking of scrapping the project just because I suck at buddypress and PHP.
