Decision time whether install bbpress on my Buddypress in the group configuration or in the sitewide configuration. Seems like the old group configuration lends itself better to my site but am I pigeon holing my forums into a configuration that will be phased out by Automattic and hard to change later on?
Hello,
I’ve recently installed Network WordPress / BuddyPress / bbPress using subdomains, and when someone registers and signs up for a site they receive this error when trying to access their “blog”:
http://screencast.com/t/SKbWOL6Jdz
Hi everyone,
since I’m relatively new to buddypress and google won’t give me any useful answers (or maybe i’m searching for the wrong stuff), hopefully someone here can help with that.
I want to display user content [ like bp_profile_field_data() ] in a jquery modal window using jquery ajax .
My attempt was, to create a custom php file, which contains nothing but the functions i want do be displayed and which is then included via ajax in the jquery modal window.
The modal window and jquery ajax works fine, but the function within the included custom php file outputs the following kind of error:
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_profile_field_data() […] “.
Obviously, the server doesn’t know what to do with the function, i guess because my included custom php file is not recoginzed by buddypress or something like that (the file is in my theme directory though).
Any ideas on how to get this to work?
Second: I included the files necessary for the jquery modal window and ajax manually.
Just recoginzed buddypress has the jquery library already included and uses ajax out of the box.
However, the modal window won’t work with the included jquery library, so i additionally included the latest version, which made it work. Though, i don’t know about ajax, how do i use
the version buddypress already has and or doesn’t it matter?
System Information:
1.I use the latest buddypress(1.6) and wp release (3.42), which i updatet from the latest earlier version.
2.I develop my site on a 32 Bit Win7 localhost environment using xampp.
It’s an extension of the “hierarchical groups” concept with it extending out to multiple BuddyPress communities. I am not referring to any other social networks or platforms. …only BuddyPress, which is not a “social network” but a “community” platform. Therefore “groups” across communities is fair game and relevant which is where “hierarchy” comes into play. If hierarchy is going to be pursued within one community, might as well tackle “across” multiple communities. Earlier, I said it was a “consideration” and would be an incredibly difficult thing to pull off. No further discussion necessary; thus, no need to start a whole other thread.
== . Also, still doesn’t work with wp_framework, ==
@jeffthink You’re welcome. Glad you finally resolved this issue 
WP Framework theme has not been updated for some time and should not be used with current BP/WP versions.
@awclubbock when you’re logged in, clicking on the register link will bring you to home page by default
As for invitation with code, the ones I’ve seen before haven’t been updated for current BP/WP lately. Check out other possible plugins for controlled registrations:
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-multiple-users/
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-user-registration-manager/
– https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-members/
i tried manual installation but it didnt worked 
they propseme to upgrade my php to 5.3
http://kb.securesignup.net/index.php?/article/AA-00256/8/Premium-Hosting/Using-PHP-5.3.html
maybe its because of default php5.2 version
they are linux base and i find this to upgrade 5.3
http://support.hostgator.com/articles/hosting-guide/hardware-software/php-5-3
Linux Dedicated Servers
Do not use the Handler code listed above. Instead, you must email support@hostgator.com and request Apache be recompiled to use PHP 5.3.
i should wait for their work

@qrahaman Right! So you are talking about stuff happening at other sites…like Disqus manages comments on many sites or Gravatar serves profile pictures to many sites.
This is not a social network feature. I don’t know any social network that does this.
It is an entirely different product. Furthermore, a hosted product, not a script.
Also, this is completely unrelated to this thread. If you’d like to discuss the concept further, please start a new topic.
@sooskriszta,
I still don’t get it. With the link you referenced, those are all updates from within the buddypress.org community. I don’t see any feeds from other communities outside of buddypress.org into Paul’s wall. I must be blind.
I created a ticket that also shows a fix I have working in a child theme for this: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4535
SKParticipant
`Is that already possible?`
@qrahaman Yes.
Are you familiar with Facebook wall? You don’t go to Coca-Cola page or your friend George’s profile to get updates from them….you get everything on your wall.
This is already possible in BuddyPress. Try the link I posted the previous message to see Paul’s wall.
OK, so re-installing the default buddypress theme worked. I had tried switching back to the default from wp_framework theme before, and that didn’t seem to work. Took full on re-install of buddypress theme. Also, still doesn’t work with wp_framework, so will go looking for another theme instead that does work. Thanks for the help.

@bounomid Your WP installation should be installed manually not via webhost scripts for BuddyPress to work without issues https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#system-and-server-requirements
@sooskriszta,
If you have your own community, it is entirely possible that you have a group within it that I would want to be fed updates. I don’t necessarily want to navigate to your community to then go to that group to figure out what’s going on every time. I want to stay in my own community and be fed all updates globally from whatever groups that I’ve subscribed to from all global communities. Is that already possible? If so, I’m all ears.

@qrahaman I still don’t understand what you mean by join `Curling group from within D&D`
I mean of course, Paul can join Curling Group. Irrespective of where he spends his day, his wall https://buddypress.org/community/members/djpaul/activity/groups/ shows updates from all his groups, same as facebook.
@sooskriszta,
Let’s say that ESPN started its own BuddyPress community. Several groups have been started: Football, Tennis, Soccer, and Curling. Furthermore, let’s say that @djpaul is super interested in the happenings of curling but the community to which he spends oodles of time, D&D, doesn’t have a “curling” group. What if Paul could subscribe/join ESPN’s Curling group from within D&D? That way Paul could stay in D&D but always be up on the latest curling news…. Is that better or did I muddy it up even further?
Disclaimer: I have no idea if Paul plays D&D or has any interest in the Olympic sport of curling (illustrative purposes only).
SKParticipant
@qrahaman Actually, on the ticket the developers have indicated that technical implementation is rather simple. The issue is making a decision on whether this is something they want to do.
`Consider this: what if a member could join a or subscribe to a group that’s in a different BuddyPress community where the activity for that group comes into his/her personal activity stream?`
Not quite sure what you mean.
Missing in buddypress profile fields (name, etc…) visibility only for me.
There is only: anyone, logged users and friends, but only for me missing.
BTW is there any mod, plugin to solve this issue?

@gregfielding if your using a child theme then wrap the code in the header that pulls the header image. Just make sure you do it dynamically using the proper tags.

Hi @formbi as @modemlooper already addressed he is going to be updating the plugin so maybe its best to wait until its done and it will resolve your issue.
@shawn38
The text is clickable, if you use that option. But if you upload a header image and disable the text, the image is not clickable.
Seems like an oversight perhaps…
@mercime,
Thank you so much for the help! I did activiate the BP template pack and a page has been assigned to the registration. We have our site hidden behind a maintenance mode plugin, so only registered users can see the site. I think since we’re registered, when we click on the /register page it takes us to the home page. We will have to test this by taking the maintenance mode plugin down.
Can we limit who can register for the site with a code?
Thanks!

@gregfielding I am sure there are sites that do not have a clickable logo but that is usually an amateur mistake, logos should always link back to home. Maybe I am wrong but if my memory serves me correct if your using the default theme then it should already be clickable and direct to home. At least my logos are clickable I just can’t remember if a had to add custom code to make it happen. Good luck!
hosting support team installed wp and checked it and new message from them
