BuddyPress.org

Well BuddyPress is not a forum or nor will act like a traditional forum. Are you talking about updates posted to the activity stream?

When you create a group – you can attach a forum for topic discussions to take place within that group.

You’ll have to filter the output of bp_ajax_querystring. See some of the discussion on this page: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/how-can-i-set-show-newblogposts-as-default-on-acitivity-stream

I still think you’re confusing the internal bbPress version bundled with BP with external bbPress:

https://bbpress.org/download

Because you want to use an external version of bbPress, you would not configure bbPress through the BuddyPress admin area.

You would install an external version of bbPress and then create your forum categories there.

You also need to theme external bbPress to match your BP install.

Also, you need to create a nav button somewhere on your BP theme so people know where your external forums reside.

Btw, I edited the topic title to be more clear.

The trouble was a line in the .htaccess file that was not edited properly. For anyone else having this trouble (it has been fixed on the SimpleScripts end) the line that needs to be changed is:

RewriteBase /wordpress-mu/

to

RewriteBase /your-installation-directory/

(replacing with your directory)

OR

RewriteBase /

(if your installation is in the root of your domain eg. http://www.yourdomain.com instead of http://www.yourdomain.com/buddypress)

Answered twice in this thread already:

As @r-a-y mentioned – a theme’d “external” bbPress to match BuddyPress is how this current site works.

@idotter: Now that you’ve been thinking about this for 3 months, can you summarize what you are looking for? The plugin would allow users to have their social content (to be determined) to be pulled from outside feeds to their profile pages, which would be pulled into the home page potentially (perhaps).

It would be interesting to ‘curate’ outside content in a BP blog network. I’m not sure I care whether this is a plugin into BP, or it’s being collected by a separate website like Noserub. Both could feed a niche focus site’s content.

Depending on the size, automatic aggregation of multiple streams could be overwhelming. Community voting could drive the home page content or maybe there is a content DJ, which means there needs to be a self-hosted database of social content with admin/editing tools. Sweetcron did this as well and is open for development.

Yes, better tag support is coming, but not sure when:

Iam also looking for a solution of this problem as a Categories and “open” forums = no groups would be awesome!

Also happy to deactivate Groups and “only” use the forum – no solutions for this?

I’m currently running an active site, and having followed the instructions in https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory I’ve got all my files in a mysite/wordpress file with everything in the wordpress folder but the index.php and .htaccess files in the home directory. that’s given the whole of my site a mysite address rather than a mysite/wordpress address.

This sites been up a while and works well, but I’m having trouble getting BuddyPress to work on it. Whatever I try, I seem to end up with half the site still on mysite (whilst everything in mysite/wordpress is coming up unobtainable); or half the site on mysite/wordpress (whilst everything in mysite is unobtainable).

Am I right in thinking that I can simply add the following to wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php or is it more complicated than this?

function my_bp_override_core_domain() {

$domain = get_bloginfo('url');

return $domain;

}

add_filter('bp_core_get_root_domain','my_bp_override_core_domain');

There’s quite a bit of activity on the site, so I don’t want to start from scratch, but I would like to get BuddyPress on it.

I think this a great idea for the wordpress track ~ I’m with @djpaul.. WordPress plugins should be able to declare a parent plug. I can declare that a piece of javascript has dependencies, or a theme, but not a plugin.. Are some of the more robust plugins (ecommerce, nextgen, etc) with sub plugins handling this? Someone should file an enhancement ticket.. this is very logical and would increase interest in child plugs, like those for BuddyPress.

why not use the bp-notifications widget plugin and create a widget area where you would like in your template..

check your code for the login form because iv tried this and it goes once a user is logged in..

try this:

<?php if (!is_user_logged_in() ) { //only non-logged in user can view this ?>

<form name=”login-form” id=”login-form” class=”standard-form” action=”<?php echo site_url( ‘wp-login.php’, ‘login’ ) ?>” method=”post”>

<div style=”font-weight:bold; margin-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;”><label>

<input type=”text” name=”log” id=”userbar_user_login” class=”input” value=”<?php echo attribute_escape(stripslashes($user_login)); ?>” /></label></div>

<label><?php _e( ‘Password’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>

<input type=”password” name=”pwd” id=”userbar_user_pass” class=”input” value=”” /></label>

<p class=”forgetmenot”><label ><input name=”rememberme” type=”checkbox” id=”userbar_rememberme” value=”forever” /> <?php _e( ‘Remember Me’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?></label></p>

<input type=”submit” title=”Login” name=”wp-submit” id=”userbar_wp-submit” value=”<?php _e(‘Login’); ?>” tabindex=”100″ />

<input type=”hidden” name=”redirect_to” value=”<?php bp_root_domain() ?>” />

<input type=”hidden” name=”testcookie” value=”1″ />

</form>

<?php } ?>

(can’t see the elance site – login required – so i don’t know what exactly the request is)

As @r-a-y mentioned – a theme’d “external” bbPress to match BuddyPress is how this current site works.

FWIW: BuddyPress wraps the “internal” bbPress and is pared-down down for group-only interaction. Even though you may see the fullset bbPress files and such (ie getting to the bb-admin via hacks, etc) many of those features/functions are disabled inside the BuddyPress context. Obviously making any sort of “backdoor” changes to the internal bbPress will not have any impact on the BuddyPress group forums. This includes adding new nongroup forums, categories, parents, bb-admin settings, etc…

In theory it is possible to display nongroup forums – just a plugin/component/themes files need to be built with that functionality.

WebID is a 1st-party solution that each individual owns and controls.

Or even something like Lasso http://lasso.entrouvert.org/documentation/writing-a-php-sp.html

I assume that you will have mutliple domains, each with their own BuddyPress install. If that is the case, there is no easy solution available. What you are asking for is a single-sign on (SSO) solution between multiple domains that each have their own BP instance. This is beyond the scope of a single WPMU install with a domain mapper. This is not an easy thing to do by yourself and I’m afraid it will not be possible at this time without some heavy custom coding on your part.

SSO is a hot topic with several technologies and standards trying to work their way into acceptance and use. The best-known of these is currently OpenID.

There is a WordPress plugin that allows you to integrate OpenID sign ons within a WordPress site, but it is out of date. With both Chris Messina and Will Norris having recently been hired by Google, I’m not sure if this plugin will be updated any time soon. I suggest contacting the Diso Project and inquire about the status of their WordPress efforts.

Also, there is talk of implementing the Open Stack in a future version of BuddyPress. But this will not be anytime soon.

Another possibility, which in my opinion is the best solution for facilitating federated identity management across the Web, is FOAF+SSL as a WebID. But that solution is even further off at this stage as it requires individuals to implement their own WebID. OpenID is a 3rd-party identity provider whereas a properly-implemented WebID is a 1st-party solution that each individual owns and controls.

I don’t understand Keiter, why not use WPMU and then have the domain mapper plugin?

You could set up four sites with it and have each site with its own domain?

WPMU Dev have a premium plugin or you could Donncha’s free one.

@ Andrea_r

Thanks for the 3.0 mention wasn’t aware they were merging the two, been away for a couple of years. Amazing stuff!

Good to see your still around!

Actually, come to think of it, this would be a WPMU thing, not specifically BuddyPress. You might have to check out the bigger WPMU communities and see if they have created anything like this already.

If they share the same DB then simple as setting up custom_user_table & custom_user_meta_table

I try to delete it and reinstall last version (0.52). I try also to deactivate all plugins for evitate conflict but nothing.

I try also oEmbed for Comments and it also doesn’t work (http://madeintorino.com/blog/2010/03/aggiornamenti/comment-page-1/#comment-3)

Can you help me?

thanks
