I’m swamped with other work, sorry. If anyone picks apart and figures out the problem, please let me know. Otherwise I will try to fix it as soon as I can.

If you can comment on that ticket that would be good
This is related to the strict mode of mysql. https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/there-was-a-problem-posting-your-update-please-try-again
BP 1.2.2 works provided you run a script to fix an existing table.
Here is the link that helped me solve this problem:

Still bbpress is installed as “latin1_swedish_ci” by the buddypress one click installation, although others are mostly installed as “utf8_general_ci” Not sure if this should go to buddypress trac or bbpress trac.
Still having this problem. Any resolution?
I looked at the suggested link (http://teleogistic.net/2009/12/tinymce-in-buddypress/) but got no help and the last post is end of Jan?

You are doing a great job. Tweetstream is great! I finally figured out the problem with not posting when creating a new topic. Did you read that? https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/tweetstream-twitter-plugin-beta-testers-needed/page/7#post-42356
This site uses “Deep integration” with a standalone bbPress install. In the near future, this website will change and forums/groups will follow the regular BuddyPress model. The only reason this is like it is currently is because of historical reasons and the fact that the site’s theme hasn’t been updated for a long time.
If you want a site wide forum, just create a group and call it “site wide discussion”. Easy as that.
OP probably time to run through your server logs?
I had issues on one server yesterday morning same sort of thing as you, however it had nothing to do with BP or my server but everything to do with packet loss/ and route to my server across the net . What do pings and tracert show?
If running on VPS, you should at least need 512mb of RAM in order to run wordpress/buddypress smoothly. But that’s just from my experince running wpmu/buddypress on a VPS.
How is the sending of email configured? I don’t recall configuring any SMTP server during my installation to let wordpress or buddypress know which accounts to send emails from?
I was using BP 1.2.1 for the past few weeks- so am confused how this new feature works?
I saw a reply elsewhere which said the admin can activate users even if they have not clicked on the activation link in their email. But I did not see any “activate” user option in the admin console.
Any help is appreciated.
Hi andrewsa,
you have to give a valid $user_id at least. I’m using this in my blog’s sidebar, have a look at http://spaces.nordblog.net/mark/ in the upper right corner.
I defined in blog theme’s functions.php:
function bp_author_info( $title, $user_id){
// Fetch some ...
// Get author's data BuddyPress style:
$author = new BP_Core_User( $user_id);
// Make output ...
echo "<!-- Status Updates -->
<h2>{$title}</h2>
<ul><li>
<span class=\"alignleft\">
<a href=\"{$author->user_url}\" title=\"Profil von {$author->fullname}\">{$author->avatar_thumb}</a>
</span>\n";
bp_activity_latest_update( $user_id); // contains echo with View link
echo "<span style=\"display: block; clear: both;\"><!-- clear --></span>
</li></ul>\\n";
}
… and inserted in sidebar.php:
if( function_exists( 'bp_author_info')){
bp_author_info( $title = "Mensch", $userid = 2 );
}
Strange, 1.2 is significantly faster than previous versions, less than half the DB hits.
Wonderful! I was just asking about the same thing yesterday: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/join-all-public-groups-at-once and glad I found this plugin. Experimenting…
Mr. Etiviti,
Very-very useful plugin, thanks a lot.
also, do I have to have a buddypress compatible theme for this to work.
It took me 5 days, but finally found the answer, on wordpress.org forums. I share it with you. Since BuddyPress is a Plugin, and it causes the bad function of my blog, I just went to my site by FTP, and rename the BuddyPress plugin file by something like oldplugin. And that was all. I could then enter to my site. Now I will try to install again this plugin which suppose to be so easy that even my mom should install it.
Install the sitemap for buddypress plugin. The regular WP sitemap plugin only scours the blogs. This other one does the groups, profiles and forums.
I get a slow response as well after upgrading to 1.2. @Andy, this is what is generated on my site:
<!– Generated in 2.477 seconds. –>
I’m on a dedicated server with 8GB of RAM.
That doesn’t seem right, there must be something going wrong somewhere. What does the page generation time say in the page footer?
Yeah, that article will help — I love eAccelerator. I also recommend you install this WordPress plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/ (read the settings but you at least want “Database Caching” enabled.
theres already a plugin who does that, ,you can use the plugin or check the source and adapt to your needs.
@Dave: in v1.1.8.1, without adding/moving the plugin-template.php to the default theme, I still get a
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_chat_plugin_template() …wp-contentpluginsbuddypress-ajax-chatbp-chat.php on line 262
!? Even with adding plugin-template.php this occurs. I can’t get this plugin to work
