BuddyPress.org

Hi there,

The same problem!
Tried to change permalink to all others options, but with no success. What exactly should I write down in permalink, and what options to chose? (Url – http://localhost/wbook/…?…/)
Anyway, I am testing Buddypress in localhost on WampServer2.0f for Windows;
Using WordPress 3.0 and the last version of Buddypress.

If not, tell me what to change in .htaccess file which looks like this:

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wbook/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wbook/index.php [L]

# END WordPress

Please keep in mind, I am not an expert in WordPress and English language.

Thanks, Ema

@dwenaus my mistake. I put it in the functions.php file in my theme and it’s worked brilliantly! THANK YOU!

@dwenaus that looks great thank you so much. I just don’t see a function.php file in the rate forum posts plugin or am I supposed to add it elsewhere?

I prefer the simply approach taken by facebook: one level of indent. in my opinion, nested comments are an ultra-cool headache.

like posted above, my solution at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-calm-down-comment-nesting/ should do the trick.

BuddyPress doesn’t integrate the full version of bbPress you are expecting. Instead, it just uses a very restricted version integrated into BuddyPress groups.

Basic forum admin functions are available from within the group admin.

If you want full featured forums with BuddyPress, you’ll have to integrate a standalone forum solution. bbPress and simple:press are candidates – I opened a thread about this recently. Search bbPress vs simple:press

hi @nit3watch, all donations are welcome, even small ones keep the developers happy . send paypal donations to deryk@bluemandala.com.

I don’t need anything from their website, I think I might still be a member- ( i bought three months). And yes, as far as I know it is fully legal. what you pay for is membership and access to the plugins, but the plugins themselves, by law, need to be GNU license. There are sneaky ways around this for some plugin developers, but WPMU-DEV has not used them. share away, but be conscious, For example, if WPMU-Dev is activity supporting a plugin, then sharing it with the community without continued support might be a dis-service. also forking a project and not supporting it in the future is also a dis-service to the over-all community. That is if they actually support their plugins, which the do to a degree.

I posted a ticket on this and a quick and dirty solution, which I can pastebin if required

http://pastebin.com/gsNJgGET

Needs to go in a bp-custom.php file in the plugins folder

It’s basic but got a bit fed up having to manually get to dashboard.

Hi, with my limited experience with them I think that WPMU-DEV is heavy on slick marketing and soft on support and coding quality. They did not code this plugin themselves – they hired it out to a very junior programmer who did a so-so job. But maybe they are providing the community some service, not sure, maybe their other plugins are great and worth it, but this calendar plugin was border-line.

@nit3watch, I’ll look into this issue…

@dwenaus posted a styling work-around a while ago, of course up to a certain extent only … till trac ticket gets addressed
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-calm-down-comment-nesting/
adjust according to taste …

@r-a-y is there a piece of code somewhere that will allow us to add activity search from the drop down box on BP 1.2+ I was checking out the unified search topic here, but ran into a couple of issues with it…

@rossagrant, @askewz – Read this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/send-mass-email/#post-49648

This doesn’t hook into the notices section though. It’s a separate admin page.

I might look at creating a plugin to use BP’s native notices section so it’ll send out an email.

Oops… sorry the “My Blogs” menu only shows up if you’re using network mode in WP 3.0! This isn’t necessary unless you want to allow your users to create independent blogs on your site. Sorry for the crummy advice there!

You can always visit the dashboard manually by going to:
example.com/wp-admin/

You can also customize the BuddyBar to include a link to the dashboard manually as well.

Hi!

Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Is it possible to be allowed in capital letters in usernames? All the Links on Google and buddypress.org doesn´t help…

I have tryed out a few things… For example, I’ve replaced in the bp-core-signup.php on line 321
preg_match( "/[a-z0-9]+/", $user_name, $maybe );
with
preg_match( "/[a-zA-Z0-9öäüÖÄÜß]+/", $user_name, $maybe );

In line 327 an error message is generated when the user name does not comply with certain criteria.

if ( !validate_username( $user_name, $strict = false ) || in_array( $user_name, (array)$illegal_names ) || $user_name != $maybe[0] )
$errors->add( 'user_name', __( 'Only lowercase letters and numbers allowed', 'buddypress' ) );


When I comment out followed code in Line 327:
!validate_username( $user_name, $strict = false ) ||
my preg_match rule works with the capital letters and special characters, but I think that will later have an impact on the log on and other things.
Capital letters are now being accepted, but no special characters such as “ßöüÖ” … -.-

validate_username() is a WordPress function
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/validate_username
and it uses
sanitize_user() which is documented here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/sanitize_user

Has anyone any idea how to do this without an sql injection or incompatible usernames later?
I would have liked that a user can log in as “SteffanieKönig” …

When we get together at a solution I would like to summarize the whole issue and as a plugin, but I’m at the end of my knowledge! -.-
