BuddyPress.org

@boone – not sure I tend to agree there, yes point taken it would suit my personal likes and wants, but suit the site/community? not too sure it does, based on the notion of duplicate threads and essential forum nettiquette that says duplicate threads are a bad thing giving rise to confusion. You will end up having multiple places to keep an eye on , I will ask a question already asked elsewhere, someone will make a salient point in one place and it might be overlooked? Just thinking out loud

No, it’s not WordPress. Personally I use Xampp, so I’m not familiar with Wamp. Somewhere in your Wamp files there will be a file called http.conf. That’s the apache configuration file. There you can control what modules are being loaded by your test server. Look for that file, open it and then look for this line

`#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so`

and remove the #

Then restart Apache.

Sorry about the php.ini reference in the post before. Mixed that up…

Master feed doesn’t really replace the recent posts list, it’s an rss feed and formatted depending on your browser, in Opera that isn’t usable for me as a replacement.

I am very conscious of how changes of the magnitude do take time to settle down with from experiences with another forum that went through a similar conceptual change from original Vbulletin trad forum to a far more community orientated site using Drupal. One thing the regulars and mod agreed on was that to a man/woman we all entered the site via the Tracker page labeled ‘Recent Posts’ that simply kept a single list of all posts made across the sites subforums/groups for those of us that checked all posts this was and remains an absolutely fundamental and vital page to enable fast tracking of new or updated posts along with the ability to filter to our own responded or started topics/posts – something that I feel is going to be missed here?

@boone I guess now that your original thread on the Send Invites plugin should be considered closed? otherwise you end up having two separate areas to track and the attendant confusion that brings, but it feels slightly odd that I now have to find that plugin group, join and remember to keep track of it.

From what I can see, https://buddypress.org/blog/ is posted from the main site and not in a subdirectory blog like you think it is. The /blog/ navigation comes from default theme this using the “blog” slug you see in lines 74-76

“Is it possible to do what I have in mind without creating a new sub-domain blog?”
If you want the admin blog link in main site’s home page to open up to http://blog.example.com/2010/04/26/hello-world/ per your posts above, then no. You would have to create sub-domain blog and post there, then call those admin posts in home page of main site via RSS widget, or query to list posts from your admin blog, etc. and those links would open up to your preferred URL structure above.

In that case I’d suggest creating an installation with the same versions used originally on another server or local dev environment and seeing if that makes a difference, if it’s a server config issue maybe or some other mis-configuration somewhere.

Well I send an email to gigya support, they answer me that they would help, they asked this:
“Can you or anyone else from your team help debug the BuddyPress to figure out which user ID/User name is saved per action?
Is there a place we can see this in action?”

Im looking through the code now, but anyone know where the specific action is?

@scotm

Use PoEdit to customize your .po and you won’t have to worry about command lines and the like.

Above your pay grade, @stwc? Its not even in my department! Thanks for the feedback though, I have been battling this issue for a while and any/all feedback is appreciated.

Sorry @tmort, that just went above my pay grade Not at all sure how to deal with that.

Have you checked in your php.ini file if mod_rewrite is installed? Check for the # (or was it ; ?) before it. If it’s there delete it, then restart apache. It should work then.

@stwc problem is, I’m using wordpress in a different folder than the root of the domain. So my WP files live in domain.com/wordpress/ and my “wordpress blog” is at domain.com.

I was told by sever people, including r-a-y that I need to change the “buddypress default domain” or something of that nature. I was told to put this code in my functions.php file, but it doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

// Getting rid of the subfolder in URLs/permalinks
function my_bp_override_core_domain() {
$domain = get_bloginfo(‘url’);
return $domain;
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_get_root_domain’,’my_bp_override_core_domain’);

Yeah, but poor @Chad Holden isn’t so lucky

https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/ links to individual themes are not working.

I do dev on XAMPP on Windows, no problem, but I do use http://localhost.localdomain, which (if I remember correctly) was a necessary thing for WPMU.

Not sure if that might be connected to your problem.

Could we get some ordering filters (alphabetic, BP version compatibility, recently updated…?) and maybe the option to Show (20/50/All) on the Plugins directory? That’d be most useful!

Never mind about the permalink to forum post thing 3 comments up. I found the # under the Activity stream item. You’d think after using this thing so long I’d know where stuff is. (or maybe it was just added )

That said, in the /support view, ‘Latest’ (beside the link to the last poster’s profile) should be a link to the latest page/post. Clicking into the thread then having to click the last page in the pagination div is suboptimal. Also, there really ought to be a pagination div at the bottom of the page as well.

@ipstenu

Everything works fine on our site. Media library, post media, avatars…

If I understand what’s happening, the forums summaries blocks (for lack of a better description) in /support change their order based on where the most recent comments occurred. That’s kind of a useability nightmare, not knowing from visit to visit where things are going to be located on the page.

Edit: I’m not even sure what’s happening. My head’s a-spinnin’ trying to find stuff that was nearly muscle memory, having spent so much time on this site in the past.

I’m pleased that the site is using the latest BP, but man, it is really hard to find stuff you need to find. Harder — and I didn’t think this would be possible — that it was before, even. Patience, though, I know — presumably it will get better.

One thing that I think is really being pointed up here is how weak the forums component (the most useful component for us as developers/users of this site) is, and how much work can be done (through plugins, thus far, but that kind of makes the core look a bit weak if a dozen plugins are being used on the showcase site) to make the forums experience better.

That spotlight on places where there is room for improvement can’t be a bad thing, I hope, but it sure makes using the new site frustrating so far, and I’ve been working with BP for my own sites for almost a year, so I’m familiar with its quirks already. New users? I can’t help but think they’d be a little put off.
