BuddyPress.org

It’s the BuddyPress template files you added to your theme folder that need to be edited.
Any of those files that use should use the same div containers as your theme is using.
I think there is about 14 files but I’m sure you will find a full list here somewhere or in the readme of the buddypress template pack maybe?

Here is the code with more before or after:


/* Move the file to the correct upload location. */
if ( !empty( $bp->avatar_admin->original ) ) {
bp_core_add_message( sprintf( __( 'Upload Failed! Error was: %s', 'buddypress' ), $bp->avatar_admin->original ), 'error' );
return false;
}

return true;
}


How to trim title in the Links Widget? How can i do this? could it come standard as most links I see come thru have the long blogger seo titles (titles who themselves need titles I know it can be edited first thing when adding it but I’d like to keep those super duper titles for the single pages.

sorry, just looked again, looks like your theme uses div id=”contentleft” , try adding that to the required buddypress template files.

You need to close off the open div containers in:
wp-content/themes/church_40/members/index.php

I am with Opera mini now so my help could be not 100% accurate. Probably is a sidebar width problem. Try to narrow it in the css.

An quick update. The new version should not be used on live sites because we are currently re-doing the data structure, so any groups that users join now, they will have to re-join later.

About the follow topic link on the topic page, I forgot to put in the read me the instructions for adding the proper action hook into the buddypress code. I’ve added the request to trac, so it should eventually be in BP core.

Here you can see what needs to be added: https://trac.buddypress.org/attachment/ticket/2129/2129_forum_topic.diff
really it is just ` ` that needs to be added to bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/forum/topic.php before `

@Mike Henderson

Did you comment out those two lines like I said?

I’ve tried the installation a few times on WAMP, MAMP and multiple installations on the same server … It should be important to note that THIS site bp.org has the same avatar uploading issues with this new template/release.

This is my htaccess file, which makes the avatar cropper work, but I still get the upload error after :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# BEGIN WordPress

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

# END WordPress

@Phlux0r added your code and it’s now working for me. Thanks!

@Chad I wasn’t getting the image cropper before I added the code. Now getting the cropper and a successful upload with no errors.

If you create a new group, you’ll have an option to create the forum. For existing groups, go into the admin settings for each, and you’ll have to check the box to enable the forum for that group.

The database tables are only created once when a
group has forum enable and someone visits its forum page.

I cannot express how frustrating this waiting has been. I just don’t know if BuddyPress is going to suit my needs moving into the future. Which is a bummer because there is so much potential here. I guess I will just stick with my 1.1.3 sites until I can move to another platform… Again. Uggh!

“I think it will but that raises the question that should the forum moderators move any threads in the wrong place? I think we should. Once, of course, someone creates that functionality”

This functionality exists. I wrote a plugin that allows you to move topic threads. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-forums-move-topic-planned-split-and-merge-topic/

In part that depends on how big a BP install you’re going to have. I would read this: http://wpmu.org/dedicated-or-shared-hosting-for-wordpress-mu/

Basically you’d look at it the same way you’d look at a WPMU site. How much traffic, how many users, how many groups and forums etc etc.

The problem with Ban Hammer is I never bothered to plug into the WPMU register screen, let alone the BP one

What error/warning messages are you getting? Ban Hammer SHOULD clean itself up when it gets deactivated.

@boonebgorges

Trying to take this thread back to Boone’s original topic (and I think purpose), I plan on using the forum feature of each plugin’s group as the primary support area for each of my plugins–athough I may still offer a premium support model in another location. I’ll use the primary BP support forum Third Party Components & Plugins as a place to announce any new plugins, but I will do so only after I’ve set up a group for that plugin. That way, I can post a link to the plugin’s new group in my announcement thread.

One issue that remains to be determined is how extracting the discussion of a given plugin to its own support forum will detract from its buzz. In the old model, since all discussion about a given plugin took place within the main (as in the only) support forums container, it was a great place to have your work stay forefront in people’s mind.

@hnla
I do run it, and my test box say http://box.dev but setting it up on windows is a bit of pain as it requires editing the host file of driver.
I was just trying to clarify it for @bstats current case, it should(hopefully) be not an issue.

@Brajesh I didn’t say it was required, but running vhosts in a local test environment is eminently sensible not just for WP.

@hnla VHOST is not required for wordpress but is required for wordpress mu/multisite in case you want them to function as subdomain.domain.
@bstats
You should do two things and the problem should be solved.
1. Check Mod_rewrite is enabled or not(as @travel-junkie has pointed). If you are on wamp 2.0, you can left click on the wamp icon(in the quick taskbar, the half cirecle icon)->Slect Apache(from the menu)->Apache Modules->rewrite_module(If it is not having a tick, click over that). Refresh the wordpress page and check is it working or not.
2.Once mod rewrite is checked you can try enabling/disabling permalink and resave it and Most probably it is going to work.

yup, i second some of these previous comments and I’ll miss my lost my “activity” which, for me acted as bookmarks in the forums, however.. on a positive note I will certainly give a thumbs up to the seemingly improved page load times and the new topics layout in lieu of the old forums.

Although not necessarily the answer to the problem I suspect that you are not using Apache vhost containers if not they do make life much simpler as using vhosts ensures the site can function as a fully qualified domain albeit one with something similar to .com.dev and a suitable dns entry to point to that in your hosts file. with that set up and a suitable directory structure you can mirror a live production server set up.

I’d have to agree with @hnla here. It’s also too easy to leave a reply in the activity stream: https://buddypress.org/community/activity/
These replys don’t seem to get added to forum threads, so because of multiple posting areas, lots of useful info will easily be lost/looked over.
