put in bp-custom.php, and functions.php, i get Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VAR in /home/content/47/6114047/html/wp-content/themes/*****/functions.php on line 116

put this where?

Check out this walkthrough to get a bird’s eye view of what kind of work is entailed and some tips to ensure compatibility with BP Template Pack.

Btw, BP Template Pack still needs to be upgraded to BP 1.2.7 version.

You have to edit the part about the server. On mamp it will be localhost and your user name and password is usually root. This is so WP can connect to your local database.

// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘buddypress’);

/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);

/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘root’);

/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

As for creating a database you go to phpmyadmin enter a name of the db in the create database input and hit create.

Then in the wp-config file you enter the name you entered here define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘ PUT YOUR DB NAME HERE’);

I would like to see a full fidelity import-export tool, but it’s a lot of work. Look for it in 2011.

`var jq = jQuery;
jq(document).ready( function() {
/* @mention username help button display */
if ( jq( ‘span.highlight span’ ).length )
jq( ‘span.highlight span’ ).toggle();
});`

bump since the flood last night

@luvs123, Here is a fix that might work. In bp-activity-classes.php, change
`if ( !empty( $filter_array ) ) {
$user_filter = explode( ‘,’, $filter_array );
$user_sql = ‘ ( a.user_id IN ( ‘ . $filter_array . ‘ ) )’;
$filter_sql[] = $user_sql;
}` With…
`if ( !empty( $filter_array ) ) {
$user_filter = explode( ‘,’, $filter_array );
$user_sql = ” ( a.user_id IN ( ” . $filter_array . ” ) “;
foreach ( $user_filter as $user_id ) {
$search_terms = ‘@’ . bp_core_get_username( $user_id ) . ‘<';
$user_sql .= “OR ( a.content LIKE ‘%%”.like_escape($search_terms).”%%’ ) “;
}
$user_sql .= ” ) “;
$filter_sql[] = $user_sql;
}`

@nahummadrid, does not work, post from simply does not appear. You are missing pieces.

@boonebgorges @LPH2005 Great work on this guys,

I’m bringing up errors on file uploads after activating the extension as detailed on the mediawiki extension page:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/collabbo/public_html/figshare.com/figures/extensions/buddypress-activity/buddypress-activity.php on line 61

Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/collabbo/public_html/figshare.com/figures/extensions/buddypress-activity/buddypress-activity.php on line 68

Table ‘collabbo_figures.wp_bp_activity’ doesn’t exist

Lines 61, 68 and 75 are as follows:

‘$resultarray = mysql_fetch_array($result);’
‘$bpresultarray = mysql_fetch_array($bpquery);’
‘$checkRecentArray = mysql_fetch_array($checkrecent);’

WP 3.0.1 bp1.2.6

Any ideas and help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Please go ahead and open a bug ticket on trac.buddypress.org with a detailed description of what you know, steps to reproduce, and a link back to this thread. You can use the same user name and password as on this site. Then I or another dev can have a look at whether there is a bug in the way that that cookie works.

Thanks!

You’re welcome.

P.S. Just in case you were thinking of changing the text about the blog creation in core file, you should instead change it either this way – http://blog.ftwr.co.uk/archives/2010/01/02/mangling-strings-for-fun-and-profit/ – or this way – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

Hey look at this, Same problem that I have.

Yep, I just did the update, and so far so good. But if you are concerned, you should do a backup just in case.

The procedure suggested by @aljuk is probably as good as you’re going to get right now. For now, the WP import/export process does not recognize the majority of BP content, and there is no standalone BP import/export tool yet.

WP upgrades, especially security and maintenance releases (ie when the version number is 3.x.x rather than 3.x), are generally very unlikely to break any plugins, including BP. I’d recommend that you upgrade to maintenance releases immediately.

Feature releases, like WP 3.0 and 3.1, are somewhat more likely to cause problems with plugins like BP. But the BP core team works closely with the WP core team to ensure that BuddyPress is ready for whatever changes come along ahead of time. If there is something in BuddyPress that absolutely cannot be fixed prior to a major WP release, we’ll do our best to warn you about it before you upgrade.

I work with local mirrors on MAMP Pro. This is what I do :

1. Copy the remote files (the whole install) to my local machine (I do this so the file creation dates are the same).
2. Backup the remote database with phpMyAdmin (be sure to select Add DROP TABLE) as a gzip file.
3. Edit the local copy of wp-config.php for my local machine’s database connection.
4. Create a new local database and import the remote backup (I personally always destroy the local db and create a new empty one to import into – then I know it’s clean).
5. Use this tool to change all absolute URLs from remote to local: http://spectacu.la/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/

Then I’ll test new plugins locally before deploying. Also I update plugins locally, and then manually copy them to the server, having had a few past failures updating plugins on production servers. Once it’s running, the only files I normally have to backup from remote to local are all in wp-content (avatars etc., which can easily be sync’d).

Hope that helps.
