BuddyPress.org

And wordpresschina, BuddyPress works on single WP installs right now.

@modemlooper

As you mentioned in this thread. Some third party widgets may act funky! Well, I want the BuddyPress Links Widget on my homepage. Can’t seem to figure out how to get the embedded avatars the right size. Same size as the Group Avatars and Recent Active Members avatars (height 50px)

?

@Travel-Junkie: I used your code above ( https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/how-to-make-a-private-community/page/2#post-44729 ) and it caused my browser to announce that:

Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects.

Any idea why? Should I change anything within that code to personalize it for my own site?

not sure, but this can help you perhaps

http://maisonbisson.com/blog/post/14028/wordpress-hacks-managing-multiple-sub-domains/

or maybe, a simple hardcoded link on your main page to the bp register/login page, huh ?

@DJPaul: tks! weird… my search terms seemed to have been slightly off.

I installed the “Bulk Import Members (Users)” ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bulk-import-members-users/ ) but it triggered an install error:

Warning: require_once(bp-core.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/my_site_name/wp-content/plugins/user-import-for-buddypress-all-fields/bp-user-import-adv.php on line 29

I searched more and found an alternative version of this (version 1.0.1) the the developer’s own site and it installs fine:

http://manojkumar.org/bulk-import-members-users-plugin-for-buddypress-site/

The other 2 seem fine too but not as comprehensive and new as the one above. I also have used dagondesign in the past and I like their plugins, but because it it not in the repository I fear about using these types of plugins sometimes.

It’s always worth to check the docs first:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ will give you some hints.

You don’t need to touch core files, you could do it by defining your own “SLUG” in wp-config.php – however docs say nothing about a “FORUMS” Slug – I would suggest to search the buddypress files for something like this.

Change the URL slugs of BuddyPress components:

define ( ‘BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG’, ‘streams’ );

define ( ‘BP_BLOGS_SLUG’, ‘journals’ );

define ( ‘BP_MEMBERS_SLUG’, ‘users’ );

define ( ‘BP_FRIENDS_SLUG’, ‘peeps’ );

define ( ‘BP_GROUPS_SLUG’, ‘gatherings’ );

define ( ‘BP_MESSAGES_SLUG’, ‘notes’ );

define ( ‘BP_WIRE_SLUG’, ‘pinboard’ );

define ( ‘BP_XPROFILE_SLUG’, ‘info’ );

define ( ‘BP_REGISTER_SLUG’, ‘signup’ );

define ( ‘BP_ACTIVATION_SLUG’, ‘enable’ );

define ( ‘BP_SEARCH_SLUG’, ‘find’ );

define ( ‘BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG’, ‘news’ );

If that fixes it, we need to submit this as a bug report on https://trac.buddypress.org/

It adds navigation links to blog ID #1 because… that’s how it works. Are you on WPMU, and /community is a sub-blog?

If so, you can change which blog BuddyPress runs on by using the following (e.g. blog ID 2) in your wp-config.php:

define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', 2 );

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

It doesn’t call any BP functions (searched for “bp_” in the files) so this is a bit misleading. I’m not aware of any precedent in plugins claiming to be BuddyPress compatible which aren’t, so will be interesting to see what apeatling has to say.

A quick google reveals several bulk-import scripts and plugins for WordPress/MU. Have a look at http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/import-users-plugin-for-wordpress/.

Regarding bulk import of xprofile data: Manjor Kumar had done some BuddyPress-specific import plugins for a very early version, but I can’t vouch for if they still work:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bulk-import-members-users/

and

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-import-for-buddypress-all-fields/

@armandmorin

WP 3.0 merges the functionality of WPMU into standard WP.

BP 1.3 will support WP 3.0:

https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/

@wordpresschina

With WPMU, you can use some nifty BP plugins like BP Group Wiki, BP Group Blog and BP Classifieds. These plugins do not work with the standard WP version of BP.

and the second fix!!!

Need to make sure WP_POST_REVISIONS is define (which is normally done in wp-config.pgp or wp-settings.php), I put it in buddypress-quickpress.php

if ( !defined(WP_POST_REVISIONS )) {

define( ‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, false );

}

Now it does the trick…. V

Brajesh Singh’s plugin:

add_filter("login_redirect","bpdev_redirect_to_profile",10,3);



function bpdev_redirect_to_profile($redirect_to_calculated,$redirect_url_specified,$user)

{

if(empty($redirect_to_calculated))

$redirect_to_calculated=admin_url();



/*if the user is not site admin,redirect to his/her profile*/

if(!is_site_admin($user->user_login))

return bp_core_get_user_domain($user->ID );

else

return $redirect_to_calculated; /*if site admin or not logged in,do not do anything much*/



}

I put it in bp-custom.php. Probably also works in functions.php.

He also has this essential logout redirect to homepage plugin. Both should have been default wp/bp behavior imho.

Redirect to User’s Profile Page on Login

Place the following snippet in either wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php or in your child theme’s functions.php file.

function oci_login_redirect($redirect_to, $set_for, $user){

$redirect_to = bp_core_get_userurl($user->id);

return $redirect_to;

}

add_filter('login_redirect', 'oci_login_redirect', 10, 3);

(alternate method)

Use Brajesh’s plugin (which does basically the same thing as above):

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-redirect-to-profile/

Searching works but so does following tags.

Bummer. IIS isn’t really that common with WP and I think the majority of people here are using Apache based hosts.

You could try what is mentioned at the end of this thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/friendly-http-error-messages-causes-404

The specific error it talks about isn’t what you’re seeing though as I get a 404 on your site with Firefox also.

This link talks about a modified 404 error handler to deal with some of the oddities in IIS handling:

http://ikailo.com/94/url-modrewrite-workaround-iis-60/

If you do get this working, please post back here and/or in the FAQ topic because it seems there are a lot of IIS users running into similar issues.

Just because you have your opinion that devs should “stop all new features” that doesn´t necessarily mean that everybody shares your opinion.

I don’t know if that correctly reflects Erich73’s opinion, but I wholeheartedly share it.

Groups are Buddypress’ killer app imho, but I could come up with dozens of other use cases for groups. Why does everything have to be built into the core?

This is nothing to do with BuddyPress; this should go on the WordPress forums.

Confirmed; please report this as bug on http://trac.buddypress.org, using your username and password from this site. It affects both the Profile Fields UI, both backend and frontend (missing a stripslashes call).

@dre1080 I’ve submitted my GSoC application including a moderation component in the project, you can read further information and timing in this post http://flweb.it/2010/04/google-summer-of-code-project-media-component-and-moderation-for-buddypress

@cpentleton & @xiv-studios: Sorry if I offended either of you.

BuddyPress has the unfortunate (and fortunate) ability to be installed via the plugin installer built into WordPress. Out of the box it is fantastic and very complex. This can create a very confusing and quite steep learning curve for anyone starting out.

@cpentleton: I look forward to your new topic. Hopefully it’s something I can give you a hand with. If not, I’m sure there will be a BP community member who can.

Hi Ron –

Hey thanks very much for your work on porting over Thematic for the BuddyPress platform.

General Question: Now that Themeshaper and Thematic are part of the WordPress core effort, do you look to see “great assimiliation” with WP3/MU, BuddyPress, and Thematic/Buddymatic?

TESTING 1.2 NOTES:

I am testing Buddymatic version 1.2, using the “Coffee with Friends” 1.0 child theme — on WordPress 2.9.2

* Yellow notice at top in admin to “activate a BuddyPress compatible theme” remains present, even after child theme activation. Notice disappears when default BuddyPress theme is used.

* Cannot add a new forum topic even though one group has been created

* GROUPS/FORUMS Functionality: Using Buddymatic with the “Coffee with Friends” child theme there are several problems that occur when attempting to set up forums and topics:

– Topic accepted under a new group, but does not appear in topic list

– Under forums link (http://SITE.com/forums/) no topics appear

– Attempts to create a new topic at the forums page does not happen — no group appears in the pop-down list

Thanks –

Scott
