BuddyPress.org

I think there is something wrong in your basic install / wp-config.php / .htaccess setup. I’m surprised to see your blog pages have index.php in the url, even though you’ve set /%category%/%postname% as the custom structure.

I suspect the problem is not in BuddyPress, but perhaps in the basic underlying install structure.

Unfortunately, I’m not an expert on fixing this though. Anyone else able to help?

Some pointers, but not a solution:
@ipstenu

The featured image is referenced by _thumbnail_id . It’s not stored in the $post data structure, instead it’s held in the postmeta table.

There are look up functions to get the featured image from the post_id of course, but not sure how efficient these would be… I guess you still have to have to switch to the correct blog (switch_to_blog()), before using the post_id in the 3.0 multisite world?

Maybe I’m taking it off track here

@geekoftodd: Post your code using pastebin (pastebin.com) as it’s not showing in the forum

The header.php file for the default BuddyPress theme is in /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default

Keep that theme where it is, and develop your child theme (derived from bp-default) in the standard themes directory

@hnla – yes, a lot of the ‘disproportionates’ probably just need the API / template tags stripping back to something finer grained. Leaving the control on string building, content and presentation in the front end templates.

I’ve got this so close to working but now users can’t save their profile group if it contains the Location field… any ideas…? It looks like it’s doing it – connects to maps.google.com then says Done but no save…

Maybe try https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-group-categoriestypes/home/

@modemlooper it’s just from scratch, canvas theme, but as I’m modifying…i’m seeing less and less need for the forums even as a plugin…since the QA theme would just be one big plugin anyway that’s much easier to manipulate and add other plugins to like voting, popularity, etc. It would be tough to get that with a plugin I would think. (in multisite of course..would need the plugin for single I guess.)

Ahh, I understand why it doesn’t work right now.
It’s because BuddyPress 1.2.6 hasn’t been released yet with the updated patch.

If you can’t wait for BP 1.2.6, make the following change:
https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/3132

I got the same message as @PJ ‘The plugin generated 294 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice ‘headers already sent’ messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.”

This led to this…any ideas?

Just looking over the parameters again, it appears that the “recipients” parameter should be an array.
So try changing that.

PMs and other BP components can be enabled/disabled from the “BuddyPress > Component Setup” page in the WP admin dashboard.

You have to modify the code from that other post to work for groups.

Use a conditional like bp_is_group_home(), then modify the query string to add the “user_id” parameter for the group admin.

Modify to your liking.

If you want to emulate the reviews functionality for groups, then I’d recommend building it off the awesome Group Extension API:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/

It’s actually not that hard to build it.

I’m also seeing the same issue using WordPress 3.0 and Buddypress 1.2.5. Zero BP plugins installed.

Email gets sent, user clicks on it but still gets the activation code screen. Enter the code results in an error message about the code being incorrect.

It’s not a very good first impression.

@lunakm – You see all the comments in the activity stream anyway… but, ok… having the link to give someone is useful in your use case.

Part of the annoyance, is that the view link is there by default, gives a poor user experience, is useless 99% of time, and difficult to remove (it’s not as simple as an edit in a template file).

Keeping the permalink page is fine, but the view link to it probably shouldn’t be included as part of the default long activity header string that’s generated by the core activity files.

i.e. the view link should be opt-in, not ‘re-implement’ a core function (or write a ‘very clever’ string parsing filter) if you want to remove it

@r-a-y LOL, sometimes you have to POINT out the obvious.

Create your own component.

@kunalb – I suspect EventPress is going to be a very important plugin – congrats on the work.

Given this – It might an idea to make a specific group for EventPress, rather than posting in the general third party components and plugins group

Looking forward to using it. Cheers, Roger

@PJ: Just eliminated the called — that debug fn slipped through the cracks — had used it while modifying the posts query for sorting thru eventpress. That would probably also explain the issue with the theme, I guess.

I’ve removed that call — can you check if that stops breaking the theme: http://kunal-b.in/0.1/debug/EventPress.tar.gz . (This is a bleeding edge version of EventPress, so it might be better if you wait till this weekend is over before going live).
