BuddyPress.org

Hi,

Wangguard’s site is too slow. Also, the connection to the site keeps resetting even for login / getting the key and such. I seriously doubt if the plugin works smoothly after configuration.

BuddyPress is a typical open source project. First it relies on the community. Second, there is the typical wax and wane.

If I recall, there was a push to go through plugins and put notes regarding the status. Maybe it could be done with the release of BP 1.3.

@johnjamesjacoby Do you have edit access on the wp.org trac, or can you get the SQL used for the reports? There used to be a way to sneak them out, which is how I added some of them to bp.org trac, but it’s not possible anymore!

No.

By default there’s one buddypress for the entire network or is you have multiple networks, it;s the same thing everywhere.

What the plugin above helps you do is have a second (or even third) network and be able to activate buddypress again on that network with new users and different activity.

@djpaul needs codex / documentation is another trac tag I follow over in core WP. This would be for anything that requires a codex entry to explain.

Are you using the default buddypress theme? If not, you need the bp template pack to put the bp template files in your theme. that’s why they won’t work.

The tricky bit is that we don’t have an API for getting BuddyPress data out of it programatically… yet(?).

Hi. Once you’ve made your changes, create a patch, and then upload to https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ (you will need to make a new ticket — one ticket per patch/idea). Then one of the core team will take a look and give feedback/commit as necessary.
As @dennissmolek said, if a child theme has customised, for example single.php, it is important that this change does not render a duplicate sidebar. I am looking forward to see your suggestion.
Also, how much work would it be to make the sidebar go on the left? Is it just a case of changing the CSS or is it lots of work?

We’re trying to keep backwards compatibility for the theme as much as possible, as we encourage people to create child themes of it ad don’t want to annoy theme developers.

In general regarding custom post types: we have plans to do this everywhere for BuddyPress 1.4. I am sure that once we are closer to the release of 1.3, we will communicate details for 1.4 on the bpdevel.wordpress.com so everyone can discuss. That may be an appropriate time to kick-start the old groups-as-an-object ticket.

Anyone interested in UI should keep an eye on tickets marked as needing UI input: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=%21closed&keywords=~needs-ui

Perhaps we can add some more reports to the Trac. Are there any on https://core.trac.wordpress.org/report that you would find useful on the BuddyPress trac?

EDIT: just added report 17 — “Needs User Experience / UI Feedback / Designs”

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/report/17

@r-a-y ‘s https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/ is going into 1.3: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2707

in addition to what @paul gibbs has to say…

this is the answer you need guys: it helped me out too…

Here is solution:
1) delete buddypress.
2) It might be useful to check if the tables for bbpress were deleted. Check also there is no bb-config.php in the web root folder.
3) reinstall buddypress
4) change ‘TYPE = MYISAM’ to ‘ENGINE = MYISAM’ in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-admin/includes/defaults.bb-schema.php before creating groups and using forums.
5) create groups and test forums.

And I find it here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/bbpress-posting-errors-missing-database-tables/?topic_page=2&num=15

@fladnag thank you soooo much for that reply… believe me, i found atleast 10-15 forums talking about this issue… but no one put it asa neatly and precisely as you did… thanks!

Hi @johnjamesjacoby

we are kind of new to all this… How to start? I will check out the latest version via svn. That’s fine. But how to check in? Commit? Push?
Should I add the complete theme as .zip file on a ticket? I guess the size will be too big.
I would like to write this patch, I’d like to start with some easy job to slowly go into all this. So the sidebar bug is an easy startup.

@dennissmolek, i guess we can keep it update save (backwards compatible) by asking if the sidebar is already active
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_active_sidebar

Some more newbee questions:
Where do I add my other subjects? The sidebar was just one example of a long list we would like to discuss and write patches for.

Should we open a ticket for every idea we’d like to change?

Sorry, if some of the questions are already answered in other forum threads.
Maybe it would be a good idea, to write a guide to become an active part on the project.
Thanks for all, we are excited to start

First of all, do not use ALL CAPS to post your issue in this forum, it’s not kosher.

Second, what do you mean you “cannot get the links to work”? You have to be more specific than that – like link redirects to home page or to blank page, etc.

Third, pretty permalinks are required in BuddyPress installations. mod_rewrite must be enabled in your server.
Deactivate BuddyPress and any BP plugins you have installed, change to WP default theme – twentyten – and resolve permalink issues at WordPress forums before activating BuddyPress again.

@janismo @Aliceembroid @el_terko @phoenon @4ella @digte WordPress and Buddypress finally registered it https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-comments-collapse-and-expand/

*edit: If you plan on installing this plugin, please note that you must undo any changes made that were previously discussed within this forum topic.

if you want to customize the page, you can copy down the /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/messages down to your own theme (put it in /themes/yourtheme/members/single/messages ) and edit away.

I spent another five hours today trying to figure out a way to get this fixed for BuddyPress 1.3, I couldn’t figure out a solution that worked in all situations. It’s pretty much the same problem as https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1726

But……. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/2299/iis.patch

If you can try that, @tejaswi2008, and either comment here or on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2299/ that the patch there works, I’ll drop that into BuddyPress 1.3. I don’t know how to force my dev installations to use almost pretty permalinks, so I can’t test it.

If you’re talking about the buddybar, read this: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/

If you’re talking about the WordPress 3.0 admin bar, that’s different.

In either case, you want this code: `groups_is_user_member( $user_id, $group_id )`
