BuddyPress.org

Any news on how this rather importing part of the Buddypress world is evolving?
Jet Events has an update every fortnight these days and seems also to become better and better al the time.
Still… It doesn’t yet meet my needs…
RSVP options would be great, and also a way for people to react (or like) on an event.

Carrying over from other thread, @markhahnel these things come to mind:

1. Global Forums 1.0.2 is compatible with BP 1.2.5+ above.
There were same errors on mysql_get_server_info() when someone installed Global Forums with WP 3.0.1 and BP 1.2.3 and errors went away when they upgraded to 1.2.5.2

2. Reupload plugin’s /gf/ theme folder to your active theme and reupload global forums plugin to wp-content/plugins

3. Backup database and re-install bbPress via dashboard > BuddyPress > Forums Settings – you shouldn’t lose previous topics but it’s better to backup DB. Might

4. Upload /gf/ folder to bp-default theme, then change your theme to bp-default theme and see if the same behavior continues with the Global Forums single topic page.

@markhahnel although @sbrajesh is not at the BuddyDev forums at times because of health issues, you should post there because there are other devs who might be able to help you.

same problem with me… would love to have a solution for this.
Did any of you found a solution for this?

Check out this codex article:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/

Make sure your WP network is setup as a subdomain.

Blogs would be created at:
xxx.themainblog.com

Interacting should be seamless. BP Admin bar will show up on all sites by default.

@lupin3 – I don’t know any off the shelf function that prints the filename. Depending on your browser, tools like firebug on firefox and developer tools on Safari may help you.

Location of the files really depends which part of your theme you mean: the main blog / news ones or the social network specific ones such as profile, groups, etc.

For the blog specific pages – this page gives you an overview of all the WP files: https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development

I don’t know what documentation is still around on 1.1.3 theme files. However, most of the files were typically in fairly explanatory-named subfolders of your member theme (e.g. in folders such as friends, members, wire, activity, profile)

member-header.php is located in /bp-default/members/single/.

If you’re making modifications to the bp-default theme, build a child theme so your changes will not be wiped out:

Read this: http://wpmu.org/how-to-add-a-custom-default-avatar-for-buddypress-members-and-groups/

iamnorthwind –
If you’re using another plugin to upload avatars, you’ll need to override the way BuddyPress fetches avatars.

Specifically, you’ll need to override the “bp_core_fetch_avatar” filter located in /buddypress/bp-core-avatars.php file.

Need a primer on filters? Read this:

@mercime – returning the favour: I’ve also advised twice on this problem (via personal message and a status update). I gave the same advice as you: try the default theme, and let us know what happens.

Additionally: I don’t know if there are any known problems using BP1.1.3 on WP3.0+

@markhahnel – it’s not appropriate to open duplicate threads. They all get seen in the support section

@mercime – thanks for the heads up

DUPLICATE THREAD – see: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/global-forum-problem/

Yep, this happens when you add users on the non-root blog. There was a trac ticket for this somewhere, but I can’t remember if this was decided to be a bug or not (as BuddyPress by default runs only on one blog).

@rogercoathup it’s the same error @markhahnel posted in this thread where I advised him to go to plugin dev’s forums

@markhahnel – it might be a good idea to give some more information – when / where are you seeing the error message?

“I have a custom theme that was built for me “
Change theme to bp-default theme, the custom theme might be causing the errors so contact theme author.

“update my bp to the current version”
Go to dashboard – Plugins > Installed. Look for BuddyPress link in list – you will see link to update the plugin automatically.
EDIT- backup database plus server files before upgrading BP. Just checked your site and noticed that your theme is using BP 1.1.3 theme … unless the theme author made it work with BP 1.2+ but forgot to change the info in style.css which is kind far-fetched.

“Is there anyway to override this, so that we can just keep the ones that users uploaded already?”

Uploaded to *where*? What plugin?

If you paste the “block of code” you added in the head at buddypress.pastebin.com, it will be made clear

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1445

I decided to go ahead and try replacing all references to is_site_admin with is_super_admin, but it did not resolve this issue.

If anybody else is experiencing this issue, we can continue to discuss in the new thread that I set up for it at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/blank-white-screen-when-a-newly-created-user-clicks-the-login-link-if-somebody-is-already-logged-into-the-admin-back-end/

Thanks,
Adam

Changing the themes does not, in itself, break BuddyPress. What else did you do?
