@r-a-y thanks for your reply i’ve a custom table for bbpress standalone is the same for duplicate forum posts?
atm i don’t have time to make a plugin… anyone interested?
Thanks for updating r-a-y. I wonder what the actual solution is as JJJ has just firmed up the hack?.
@arunbaaillal that solution does work but only by dint of the fact that this what you can always do with WP, state a template page to be used as front. do you not think it would be better to add the patch to your functions file then you would have a workaround that works for the moment quite satisfactorily.
You might be missing a template action in your component.
This is how groups does it:
function groups_directory_groups_setup() {
global $bp;
if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->groups->slug && empty( $bp->current_action ) && empty( $bp->current_item ) ) {
$bp->is_directory = true;
do_action( 'groups_directory_groups_setup' );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'groups_template_directory_groups', 'groups/index' ) );
}
}
add_action( 'wp', 'groups_directory_groups_setup', 2 );
Also this might apply to you:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/custom-plugin-hook-bp_setup_globals-is-not-fired/
This is working for me on my testbox.
Though I did upgrade from WPMU 2.9.2 mind you.
[EDIT]
Here’s another post you might want to look at:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/blank-site-after-installing-buddypress-in-wordpress-3/
@arturo84 – Use BuddyPress’ own insert activity function – bp_activity_add() available in /bp-activity.php as either a bbPress plugin or a code snippet in your bbPress theme’s functions.php.
You’ll need to hook into the right actions in bbPress. You’ll probably want to hook it to when a new topic is created and when a new reply is made. I don’t have these actions at the top of my head, but this should give you enough to go on.
[EDIT]
Something I forgot to mention is if you’re using your bbPress install in conjunction with BP’s group forums, you’ll probably also want to omit posts that belong in the group forum’s category ID, which in most cases is category ID #1. Why? Because you might get duplicate forum post entries in the activity stream.
@tober11 Thanks. It’s nice to hear. I figured if I was going to be building my project on the back of BuddyPress I should try to do my part to give back. I’m all in with BuddyPress, so you’ll see me around here for a while.
BTW, this plugin is now release officially: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-disable-activation/ and will be part of Welcome Pack 2.2 in the future.
I’m having the exact same issue with WP3, running Buddypress on a secondary blog. Clicking on a member name from anywhere only shows the members directory.
@foralien: thanks so much for even taking the time to look! Ill definitely play around with the changes you’ve suggested and see if that fixes the issue. If not, it’s not too big a deal, just another thing on the “when I get to it” to-do list, lol 
And thanks for the compliment on the site! I know I haven’t really done too much exciting stuff with design/layout, but I’ve worked really hard on under-the-hood stuff 
@mistercyril Don’t know exactly would it help with BP SEO – because don’t use it myself but… I suppose that using BP special tags for head section would make sense in this case. You can check them in bp-default theme.
In particular use following tags inside the <head> tag of header.php in your theme
<title><?php bp_page_title() ?></title> – to generate page title
<?php do_action( 'bp_head' ) ?> – hook to add some usefull BP head routine
<?php wp_head(); ?> – the standard WP header hook
@justbishop
sorry for the delay with reply )
as far as I can see WP 3.0 default uploads paths are a bit different from WPMU 2.9.2
but in your case it may be enough to correct paths in my filters
in particulat in filter nfm_bp_avatar_upload_url_correct($url)
use
$url = get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, 'siteurl' ) . "/wp-content/uploads/";
instead of
$url = get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, 'siteurl' ) . "/files/";
if it does not help – that would mean that WP 3.0 differently handle option upload_path (I still have no time to go deeply in WP 3.0 development – so simply don’t know for sure). In this case the most simple solution is to hardcode your upload path in my filter nfm_bp_avtar_upload_path_correct($path)
change the part ABSPATH . get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, 'upload_path' );
into the absolute server path to the upload folder.
P.S. Impressed with BP implementation in your site – interesting idea and realization
@poolie , @Anthony, @kasper777ny, @nahummadrid – thanks to you all… happy to know that this piece of code works for you
@Retroriff:
it works: if you just copy and pasted the line “define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 );” just take a look at the ‘ ‘, they need to be changed (cause if you type them in here, they will be changed – for this reason i can’t post it the right way here).
Understand?
@r-a-y how i can add the bbpress standalone deepintegrated in the stream?
@gregfielding Your comments are apposite . I did start a thread (you may well have responded in it) trying to get thoughts like this expressed in one place in the hope that there could start to be a little greater community spirit and in the hope the lead/core developers could perhaps read and ask/answer questions from time to time – more interaction between core team and those actually trying to use the app in the wild, it was also meant as a check and balance to the thread started on the BP API as in that thread I saw the potential problem with BP being fundamentally mid tier heavy and lacking in input from front end developers and those that have a specific grasp of UI and Site Archetecture (yes I realise that the latter could be argued to be in the hands of those taking the app and building the sites, but not wholly so!) so your post above would have sat very well in that thread.
@apeatling Hey Andy, thought you may want a heads up on the follow plugin issue.
If you delete a member from the admin panel, no ones following totals change to reflect that the user is gone. There is a TRAC for this issue happening with the friends counts (see above) but nothing on following.
Cheers pal!
gud day to all my buddies,..
i was going through the post, when will buddypress have a mobile version….. i can give out lot of open source script that i know for mobile version……
I’m guessing you’re using WP single/standard, and not WPMU/WP Multisite. The BuddyPress Groupblog plugin was written for WPMU/WP Multisite. The function, wpmu_validate_blog_signup(), is a WPMU/WP Multisite only function, which is why you get the Fatal Error. Because of the nature of standard WP versus WPMU/WP Multisite, I don’t expect you’ll get the group blog functionality on a standard WP installation… not anytime soon at least.
This has been reported (https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2411) and fixed (https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/3044). However, the fix won’t be available until 1.2.5 is released, unless you are comfortable editing code. Hope this helps.
Avatars are being displayed, just not member uploaded avatars. This could be a number of things, and since you’re using a custom theme, this adds to the difficulty of helping you with such little information. Please give us more information like WP/BP versions, plugins, etc. You might also want to search the support forums (https://buddypress.org/support/) for instances of your issue.
Yes. You will need to edit your theme (https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/), and delete the instances where the “All Members” activity links are added. In the default theme, you’ll find them in activity/index.php and members/index.php.
Probably a bug. Best to report it on trac.buddypress.org
> This one in particular… https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2325… jjj has issued his own patch. I’m not sure why mine was not accepted and why his has not been implemented
Hi @jeffsayre, all,
I was just reviewing the trac thread, and if I’m understanding correctly it looks like @apeatling wants to wait until BP 1.3 before addressing this issue: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2325#comment:6 – – am I understanding correctly?
If so, does this mean that release of the privacy component will be held until BP1.3? (and if yes, is there any chance you would consider releasing it sooner, at least to those users who are willing to patch the core themselves and promise not to bug you with any support requests? )
OMG I feel stupid, but i figured out the problem. My template doesn’t truly support buddypress, so I had to manually write in the information to tell users to only sign up with a username of all lowercase letters. It actually clicked when I thought about signing up at this site. oh my gosh!!
Okay, so I still have one more issue however. When I try to make a “group blog” page as an admin of a group, I get a fatal error message: “Fatal error: Call to undefined function wpmu_validate_blog_signup() in /home/undivide/public_html/gamercookie.com/wp-content/plugins/bp-groupblog/bp-groupblog.php on line 524”
