@ray thnxx too. the patch works perfect

I hate to dredge up an old thread – but – is work being done on this for WP 3.0 and BP 1.2.4.1?

@flynn – the server is temporarily unavailable; theme link isn’t available.

@boonebgorges – have you tried your extension with BP 1.2.4.1?

@nicolagreco – did you ever release anything?

Today seemed like a good day to try to get my MediaWiki footer integrated into BuddyPress footer – and just started looking around. Any tips from anyone would be great!

Check out the internal configuration settings page on the codex:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

What you’re looking for specifically is this:
define ( 'BP_MEMBERS_SLUG', 'users' );

Change “users” to whatever you want.

Add this code to wp-config.php.

Just to add to this, if you’re using a custom WP theme and you want to add BuddyPress functionality, then you’ll need to use the BP Template Pack plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

If you’re used to customizing themes, then you’ll feel right at home with BP templates and custom loops. Check out the codex for more info.

What hnla is talking about is if you’re using WP 3.0 and you want to add user blogs, you’ll need to add network functionality. Read this post by Pete Mall for more info:
http://developersmind.com/2010/05/17/enable-multi-site-in-wordpress-3-0/

There are still a lot of tickets on Trac for BP 1.3; I’m guessing a month or longer:

However, there will be an intermediary point release on the 1.2 branch – v1.2.5 – hopefully that will be released in the next week or so.

@andrea_r

I have successfully upgraded to 3.0, I´m running BP 1.2.4.1. And I have the basic twenty ten theme installed. However the bp functions are not working, its not listing “activity”, “members” etc in the menu. Instead the items are stacking at the bottom of my page. Am I missing something?

@si you’ve added in a carriage return/line feed after the closing ?> or before it’s opening, anything that represents a character is interpreted as browser output. Ensure you have no whitespace after the closing php tags.

@ray added code to functions in bp default

but getting eeor wen going to login pae, logout link ..

header modification already send some sort error

Buddypress runs as a plugin of a WordPress install, either WP single or WPMU / WP MS(WP 3.0)

If you have your WordPress install up and running then you need to upload or install via dashboard the BP plugin and activate, no further domain issues unless you have decided to run user blogs then you have considerations such as sub domains for the user blogs or sub directories and possible DNS issues if you want to use sub domains.

Hi @Dwenaus

Would you have the possibility to send the release to me too? I think many people want an event plugin, but are not willing to subscribe to wpmu dev for only that plugin (most of their other wpmu plugins are covered by buddypress functionality anyway…)

Thanks a lot!

Folks,

The issue here with 3.0 is that if an existing WP 2.9.2 install with uploaded media upgrades to 3.0 and enables the network the blog option for the upload_path can’t be changed to the blogs.dir folder because the existing media becomes inaccessible.

So my question is: is there a way to get the pre-existing media to show-up? I went from WPMU 2.9.2 to WP 3.0 – and all of my media is gone? It won’t even show up, if I enter the path to the file directly in the address bar? Shouldn’t it at least show an image if I put the exact path in?

I also tried to upload new media – and that doesn’t show up either, so I’m not sure if what Ron posted is my issue?

Thanks!

Ah erm so it does; did say it wasn’t hugely tested. Ok then those that are running on bp-default theme will need to add your function to main functions file, please ignore my well intentioned but erroneous post above. (Last para stands thinking about though, the flood gates will open soon)

Thinking further it makes sense to add fix to main functions or bp-custom[bp-custom.php isn’t a standard included file] so that it does get erased from existence on upgrade – one less thing to remember to adjust for people

Hi there – have you found a solution for this because I have the same on my wpmu 2.9.1 and buddypress 1.2.4.1 the crop tool are not working at all and 2 images are shown also. Please let me know if you have found the solution.

Thx.

@hnla – While your method is well-intentioned, it breaks actual 404 pages. Try typing in example.com/hfklsadjfkasdhf and you’ll see the activity page, instead of the 404 page!

You could just copy my code directly into the bp-default theme’s functions.php so it will be overwritten when the next version of BP comes out.

FYI, the code can also go in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php as well and not necessarily in a child theme’s functions.php file.

@r-a-y Thanks r-a-y that does indeed fix things, albeit in a hackish manner

I understand what you’ve done with it, and it occurred to me that there may well be an issue with many who are using bp-default and choosing or at least attempting to choose activity stream as front page, they will not be running a child theme?

I had a play around with the bp-default functions file and specifically the function: ‘bp_dtheme_page_on_front_template’ controlling this aspect, keeping your workaround in mind I simply adjusted the add_filter from:

add_filter( ‘page_template’, ‘bp_dtheme_page_on_front_template’ );

To:

add_filter( ‘404_template’, ‘bp_dtheme_page_on_front_template’ );

This appears to work correctly on one of my clean installs WP 3.0 BP 1.2.4.1 bp-default

Although this is adjusting core file, in the interim/short term until the correct solution is found would this not serve those that I mentioned above and when that correct solution found the hack would simply be overwritten in a point upgrade?

This isn’t a hugely tested solution, it works on the surface on one of my various installs, but there may well be issues I have missed, it’s suggested more as food for thought.

Lastly I can imagine that there are going to be many rushing into upgrading (that ‘upgrade now’ button is like the red ‘Do NOT Press’ button; too much of a temptation ) Although the upgrade is not problematical the few manual steps required might well cause some people issues and the fix discussed here be required so as such it might be worth a sticky post pulling the steps together along with any other fixes one might require, that people can be pointed to?

When could an official fix be expected? Thanks!

Works like a charm for me!

WP 3.0 and Buddypress 1.3 in two steps:

1) Make sure upload_path option is set to wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files
2) in old .htaccess change

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L] TO

RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

Works!

@r-a-y thanks a lot for that. This is a good workaround for now.

Edit your theme’s style.css.

And add the following:
#wp-admin-bar .padder, #wp-admin-bar ul li ul {background:red !important;}

This is just to get you started.

Again, I advise you to create a child theme to apply your new style changes. Read this guide to build a child theme from the default BP theme:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

@AMJCraft – That’s to be expected. If it’s not a BP group forum post, the post will not be added to the activity stream, although if you’re using a deep integrated install of bbPress, it’s possible to add these non-BP posts to the stream.
