@djpaul – thanks for your response. Yes, http://domain.com/wp-content/plugins/welcome-pack/includes/js/admin.js exists. I am using Firefox.

I checked for javascript errors and it looks like it found 3, all relates to the emails in welcome pack. Here’s a screenshot of the error report: http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/1227/jserrors.png.

Here is a screenshot of the dropdown expanded: http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/9350/dropdown.png. Looks normal to me.

I am going to try uninstalling and then reinstalling the plug-in. I’ll let you know if that resolves it. Let me know if you have any other tips. Thanks again.

**follow-up edit: deleting and reinstalling the plug-in via WordPress’s built in plug-in installer did not correct the issue. same js errors occur**

I wanted to update this post. Apparently, even if I disable Buddypress, it won’t recognize a new bbpress directory in the site root. It’s still loading the Buddypress bbpress. If anybody has some insight, I’d really appreciate it. I really don’t want to have to wipe everything and start over.

I forget to write I have buddypress plugin.

Must have been another plugin conflict because it works on a fresh install with that config.

Thank you very much @hnla and @rogercoathup

Thanks Paul,
I had define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 );
but not define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );

It’s working, kind of, but now there’s another issue.

A user can now activate their account from the activation email if they use the register from the wordpress meta widget on the main site.

However, if I try to use the buddypress toolbar signup from the main site, it just sits at the main site homepage. Previously that would take you to http://community.howtomakeadesignerhandbag.com/register/

I think I’d like to not use the wp-register at all and somehow get the bp signup/login in the sidebar of http://community.howtomakeadesignerhandbag.com/register/
showing on the main site homepage and allow users to signup either from the toolbar or from the sidebar. But I want them to be returned to the main site homepage instead of the buddypress homepage.

Is this possible?

Thanks for your help and patience in trying to understand what I’m trying to do.

@djpaul – I see the Email tab, but when I enable email customization and choose an email to customize from the drop-down, there are no fields to modify the email text itself. I save settings but can’t find any edit fields for the email subj and body. Here’s a screenshot of what I see: http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/6920/welcomepack.png. What am I missing?

@djpaul @nuprn1 – Thanks for the help guys: calling the second loop bp_has_activities() with a full set of parameters overrode the default settings for the page and fixed the problem.

[Edit: and there doesn’t seem to be any problem with the AJAX – e.g. changing the main drop down selector to just show blog posts, only affects the main activity stream, and doesn’t interfere with the second stream.]

@nuprn1 – yes, they were running sequentially, but the second one was just returning the same activities as the first.

As @djpaul suggests, I’ll make sure it’s getting a fuller set of parameters passed in its bp_has_activities() initiation, to keep it showing all activities. Hopefully, this should fix the PHP call.

It’s late here – I’ll leave fiddling with the Javascript side for tomorrow.

@djpaul – I put some edits in my comment above – it looks like our posts crossed.

My two streams are independent (i.e. not nested)… I’ll try setting them both up with a full set of parameters specified, and see if that allows them to show different content.

Cheers, Roger

@Paul Gibbs,
As I have the problem on your site, I don’t even try on mine.
I understand you will fix the upload issue.
Thanks

@djpaul, @nuprn1 –

I ran into a stack of problems with this approach:

1. A call to make a new BP_Activity_Template requires a full set of parameters (it doesn’t default them).

2. All the bp_ functions, e.g. bp_has_activities() work on a single global activities template ($activities_template)

3. The methods (functions) you can call directly on the BP_Activity_Template calls are very limited (has_activities, next_activity, rewind_activities, user_activities, the_activity).

[Edit: the call to the_activity() references a global $activity but then doesn’t do anything with it, e.g. it doesn’t instantiate it]

4. All the presentational / data functions you’d want to use, e.g. for pagination_count, title, avatar, item ids, object names, content, only work on the global $activity_template (not on the $activity global)

Am I missing something obvious? Or is this really not feasible with the current methods?

The code I tried:
`
$page = 1; $per_page = 10; $scope = ‘ ‘, $max = 200;

$activities = new BP_Activity_Template ($page, $per_page, $max, false, ‘DESC’, false, false, false, false);

if ($activities->has_activities()) :
while ( $activities->user_activities() ) : $activities->the_activity();
`
then, I was stuck as there don’t seem to be any easy methods to access the activity content.

My surmise is that the_activity() should be instantiating the global $activity (but it doesn’t), and then the bp_ functions should work on the $activity global not on the $activity_template global
