How? please always share how you solved a problem on a open forum as it may help others who come across the thread.

@dubsel, which plugin are you using for your sitewide activities which shows at your sidebar widget? i mean The Wet Activities. it look so cool

You need to set up apache webserver, php programming language and mysql database.

Some people use prepackaged setups such as xampp which include all three of the above.

Personally I prefer to install everything separately.

Either way it is all free.

Afterwards you will probably need to setup email for the above.

Hello iwazaru,

you have to past the code in the: bp-messages-cssjs.php

try this code:

<?php

function messages_add_autocomplete_js() {
global $bp;

// Include the autocomplete JS for composing a message.
if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->messages->slug && ‘compose’ == $bp->current_action ) {
add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘messages_autocomplete_init_jsblock’ );

wp_enqueue_script( ‘bp-jquery-autocomplete’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-messages/js/autocomplete/jquery.autocomplete.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ) );
wp_enqueue_script( ‘bp-jquery-autocomplete-fb’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-messages/js/autocomplete/jquery.autocompletefb.js’ );
wp_enqueue_script( ‘bp-jquery-bgiframe’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-messages/js/autocomplete/jquery.bgiframe.min.js’ );
wp_enqueue_script( ‘bp-jquery-dimensions’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-messages/js/autocomplete/jquery.dimensions.js’ );
}

}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘messages_add_autocomplete_js’, 2 );

function messages_add_autocomplete_css() {
global $bp;

if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->messages->slug && ‘compose’ == $bp->current_action ) {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘bp-messages-autocomplete’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-messages/css/autocomplete/jquery.autocompletefb.css’ );
wp_print_styles();
}
}
add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘messages_add_autocomplete_css’ );

function messages_autocomplete_init_jsblock() {
global $bp;
?>

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var acfb =
jQuery(“ul.first”).autoCompletefb({urlLookup:’root_domain . ‘/wp-load.php’ ?>’});

jQuery(‘#send_message_form’).submit( function() {
var users = document.getElementById(‘send-to-usernames’).className;
document.getElementById(‘send-to-usernames’).value = String(users);
});
});

<?php
}

`define (‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’); adding this to wp-config can solve my problem ?`

This is a non question the response to which always has to be ‘You tell us’! try it does it fix the issue? it’s a simple test.

if it doesn’t then your host may not permit individual sites to alter PHP at site level ( very sensible on shared hosting) in which case you may need to speak to tech support and ask that the memory limit is increased or whether it can be.

You probably need more memory…..

@hran i have the same problem cant activate bp plugin error is Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_multisite() in /home/vuniteu/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core.php on line 287
and the memory errror comes @ the time of upgrading wp to 3.1.3

Hi I am not sure what I did wrong and its not working properly…

I got the errors everything after i post a forum topic.. The new translation is done but I got this error….

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/footheal/public_html/commandoclub.net/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php: in /home/footheal/public_html/commandoclub.net/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 897

Please help.

Did you remember to remove the code you added to wp-config.php as per the plugin instructions?

`define( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );`

You’ll need to be running the development version (trunk) of BuddyPress for it to work, or wait for a beta.

32Mb probably won’t cut it; running any kind of busy BP install on shared hosting is going to be dodgy. I did so for a while on my Dreamhost account before I went for a VPS and it was fine, but you may not be so lucky with other hosts.

I would avoid Media Temple. Nice site design; not such great service, is what I’ve been told.

Here’s how to get around activation. I was having the same problem on my test server, since it couldn’t send out activation emails. If you need activation emails enabled, then this workaround will not work for you.

For users that have already been created and cannot login, you can go into the wp_users table in the database and change their ‘user_status’ from ‘2’ to ‘0’ (if you have database access). ‘user_status’ is not used in WordPress — it’s a dead field — but Buddypress uses it to redirect to the homepage if a user has not been activated (aka user_status=2).

To avoid the problem for future user registrations, you can change a file to avoid activation (if you have FTP access). In the buddypress plugin directory, find bp-core/bp-core-signup.php. Find the line that says:
`$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “UPDATE $wpdb->users SET user_status = 2 WHERE ID = %d”, $user_id ) );`
In my installation (1.2. it is on line 357. Change the 2 on that line to a 0. So it should look like this:
`$wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “UPDATE $wpdb->users SET user_status = 0 WHERE ID = %d”, $user_id ) );`

Now when a new user is created, they will automatically be able to login without their email needing to be confirmed.

What did you do, Iamyeti, to fix the .htaccess file?

Glad it helped

My partner Ron wrote it. The post linked to our blog. Have you tried it on a test site?

You can certainly replace the default avatar picture, either with a bp_default instruction in wp-config.php or by adding a new function (into functions.php). If you wanted to achieve a random selection from a pool of avatars then I suppose you would need to write some php of javascript to intercept the avatar display and randomly select from an array.

I’ve not seen anything off-the-shelf for BuddyPress, so you’d probably need to adapt a script and hook it into BuddyPress.

There was a script I used a while back in a Social Engine 4 implementation that basically presented users with choice of standard avatars on signup, which would be a better way of implementing this, since it’s important to encourage users to personalise their profiles which leads to greater engagement.

Here’s an example of what I mean – http://webhive.com.ua/store/product.php?id_product=36 – but I’ve not seen this for a BP environment.

@naved, post a link to your website please.
