BuddyPress.org

The site is not launched yet so it’s not open to the public. I’m developing this on a contract for a client with an NDA and stuff. I can however post some code snippets. If you need more access, please send me a pm.

The guide after installing the BP plugin instructs us to add the theme divs to some index.php and other files in the BP template files added to the theme.
The top of f.ex. the index.php in activity looks like this:
(I have changed the angular code paranthesis at the beginning and end of each line to be able to post this here)

(?php get_header() ?)
(div id=”container”)
(div id=”content”)
(?php if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) : ?)

— and so on.

The theme page.php starts like this:
(?php get_header(); ?)
(div class=”left-navi-blog”)
(?php include “left-sidebar.php”;?)
(/div)
(div class=”center-blog”)
(?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?)

— and so on.

The instructions say to add the divs from the page.php to the activity index.php like this:
(?php get_header(); ?)
(div class=”left-navi-blog”)
(?php include “left-sidebar.php”;?)
(/div)
(div class=”center-blog”)
(div id=”container”)
(div id=”content”)
(?php if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) : ?)

— and the rest of the code lines follows.

The problem is that the left sidebar is nowhere to be seen, and I get all those meta links and blogroll and other links below the activity section of the page displayed when I click Activity in the BP adminbar.

Just can’t figure out why this is when I’m following the instructions.

If I remove registration/register.php from my theme, I just get sent back to the subdomain’s home page when I try to register, without getting a form to register in. Where does the BuddyPress registration page come from when things are working correctly? Is it from the bp-default theme?

Okay thanks…. couple things

1) I already had bbpress running at mydomain/forum
2) According to all the installation instructions everything went fine. The Url you suggested 404s on me
3) mydomain/forum still looks fine
4) Where do i go to get started in figuring out how to change my templates to get this registration thing to work. Right now, for example, I have Disqus as my blog comments. I suspect this screws thing up?
5) Is this supposed to just run on top of bbpress? Like, if someone registeres for bbpress are they some how in the buddypress system too?

@r-a-y — on the .htaccess file I have the following – is it not correct?:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /main/

#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . – [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

OK, I’ve got another question for anyone willing to help out there, please. I created a new profile, but it doesn’t show up. When I go into the admin section, it shows up under users, but I get an error when I try to confirm deletion “Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/curls/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-classes.php on line 1053.” I wonder if it has anything to do with the user name–mom25kids. Is it OK to include the numbers? Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!

@lincme.co.uk I am assuming you are one of the people who developed or now work on Buddypress, do you know if there is going to be a forum option like I have described that is separate from groups in any up coming version? I have really been wanting to redesign a website I run http://www.parkersburgskateplaza.org using Buddypess since I first read about the software this winter, but I am almost ready to just roll with it as is and stumble through trying to explain how it works to people, but would rather wait if something simpler is in the works.

where do i do this please?

and you mean a group of js files, not a buddypress group, rt?

@andrea_r @jeffsayre @crashutah
okey another dumb question-
i want to put google’s transliteration API http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlanguage/documentation/#Multi on the create new post page (even better if i can make a custom post type section with an UI that displays the toggle input language option) and also in comments section.
any help on where exactly to put the code?

@r-a-y – thank you very much for the info. I checked and double-checked but it appears everything is correct as per the instruction link. Any other ideas??? I can’t seem to get any images to show up.

Still having problems with this. By the way, I upgraded to the latest Buddypress and some people are still having trouble registering.

Here is a message I got today:

“After I filled out all fields and clicked “Complete” button, I got “The webpage cannot be found HTTP 404″ page. FYI, I’m using Win XP and IE 7.”

Can anyone please help me? This is a big issue.

Thanks hnla. So I’m not missing anything then?

I thought it could be a problem because I’m also missing the ‘Uploading Files’ section under Settings > Media, where you can set upload paths. I saw in the code that only shows up when multisite is active. Upload path is relevant for avatar upload, which is the only thing (so far…) that I can’t get to work in BP 1.1.3 on WP 3.0.

The clean test install of 1.2.5 + 3.0 did have the ‘Uploading Files’ section with or without WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE, so that may not have anything to do with it after all. Confused…

Yes, BuddyPress is activated network-wide.

I get redirected to subdomain.domain.com/register which runs the register.php file in my theme. The register.php file is a copy of the bp-default/registration/register.php file, with a couple of formatting changes.

Should I get redirected to domain.com/register (without the subdomain)?

btw, the contents of the bp-custom.php file are:

php define( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 9 );
php define( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, 1 );

if that’s any help.

The new BuddyPress Courseware I’m working on, will kick ass, I wouldn’t even bother testing moodle

I look forward to your plugin. Moodle was adopted by our school district last year. Best wishes on your plugin and hope that it is better than Moodle, because it takes a long time to tweak it. Let me know if you ever want someone to help test it for you or give you feature feedback.
