BuddyPress.org

Hi Peter thanks for the great plugin, but I am having trouble authorizing my twitter and buddypress account. I am using my own BP theme and when I click the link to authorize when it comes back to the page it just has the link again, not the settings page. I have tried 2 different browsers, checked the settings (there is no www in the return url) but nothing seems to get it past this point. I am using WPMU 2.9.2 and version 1.1.8 of your plugin with BP 1.2.1. Thanks for your assistance.

@snark

In response to your points up top:

1)

+1 Favorites sometimes = bookmarks in social networking sites. We need to be able to offer this across all types of communication features.

2)

Theme developers need to be able to pull this info in with a loop. Maybe we can already?

3)What is the current state of Favorties plugin development, and is there something in the works that can accomplish the above?

There is the BuddyPress-Like plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-like/

The problem with BP Like is that it now competes with Favorites built-in to BP 1.2. I need to be able to turn off Favorites so that BP Like isn’t confusing/repetitive.

But really, this is something should be rolled into core.

@Peterverkooijen

Forums, yes, were part of an older web community – it was the sole way they communicated. With the advent of social networking came the creation of new ways to communicate. Forums were given less focus but they still have there place. Even today in Facebook you can clearly identify forum-esque features.

I don’t think BP has ever focused on forums. It’s always been on the activity stream/wire. Of course, forum topics are now tied to the activity stream – as they should be – but does not in any way give BP a “schizophrenic” identity.

Great modemlooper.. your being a big help with releasing all kinds of cool design stuff for the community. Cool

Given this thread has been resolved, yet these issues persist even when doing the above, I’ve added my solution in zageek’s other thread :

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/plugin-could-not-be-activated-because-it-triggered-a-fatal-error-2?replies=2#post-41418

Yup, I’m having this problem as well. Driving me nuts too, errors occur in any bp version I’ve tried so far… don’t understand exactly how it’s happening either. I think it’s a server issue though as my local server didn’t have this problem (or at least not as often, can’t remember exactly)

In previous versions (<1.2x), I got this problem which was resolved by changing all include() functions to include_once() within bp-loader.php.

Now (WPMU 2.9.2 and BP 1.2.1), it seems that buddypress is being loaded from somewhere without it even being activated (I see the bp menu in wp-admin once bp is in my plugins folder). I think when trying it activate it it tries to load everything twice, and there comes the fatal error. I’d love some insight on this particular bit….

The fatal error is blank for me too, but I can get it to start showing by changing error_reporting to the numerical E_ALL equivalent in my php.ini or httpd.config.

I have had to hack BP to fix this issue again, the trick is:

1. create a new file, e.g. bp-loader-fix.php
2. move the contents of bp-loader.php over except the first comment block
3. Make sure the new file has starting and ending <?php ?> tags, same with bp-loader.php
4. in bp-loader.php, add the following as the last (and now only) php statement require_once('bp-loader-fix.php')

That should prevent the redeclaration from happening.

Can anyone offer insight on this? I’m on a CentOS PLESK environment, I wonder if it’s to do with that?

Nice job, looks awesome, will this be a real app or just a theme?

@ Gpo1: How many off the mobile web users have android? I’ve only been building for iPhone myself.

A standard Buddypress isntall doesn’t send out activation e-mails, does it?

And if all else fails, there’s a search option in most text editors.

Very impressive, don’t forget android phones and also enable other plugins to integrate well with the theme like events, gallery etc…

That’s the future for web sites to make it mobile!

I like it. Will be very popular when it’s finished.

Good job.

Did you do this:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

Yes, WordPress MU will do what you need without BuddyPress at all.

@MrMaz Does 0.4 will allow to integrate BP links within groups on single WordPress install?

I just wanted to add my AMEN to the wanting a right and left sidebar.

I like the default theme, but I need a three column setup for the purpose of widgets. If anyone finds a solution to this and publishes it or would e-mail it to me, I would be very grateful!

I also get the same error on a fresh installation of wordpress….

This problem comes from the bp_has_custom_signup_page function.

It checks to see if your theme can locate_template( array( 'register.php' ), false ) or locate_template( array( '/registration/register.php' ), false ) )

Since your child theme has neither of those files, naturally it will return false and give you wp-signup.php as the link. To counter this, BuddyPress attempts to be smart and redirect to BP_REGISTER_SLUG.

If you always want to bypass this check all together, you could try putting this in your bp-custom.php file…

function bp_custom_get_signup_page( $page ) {

global $bp;

return $bp->root_domain . '/' . BP_REGISTER_SLUG;

}

add_filter( 'bp_get_signup_page', 'bp_custom_get_signup_page' );

Note that bp_get_activation_page and bp_has_custom_activation_page work the same way, and the same rules apply if for some reason you want to bounce people from a different activation page.

Hi Ron. Thanks again for this – it will mean I won’t have switch themes mid-development to integrate BuddyPress into a project. Very grateful!

I just gave this a quick install tonight and here are a few issues:

– Error message in the branding area;

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘bp_core_admin_bar’ was given in /home/.perro/czoltok/my-url.com/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 339

– Clicking on usernames redirects to homepage;

– It seems that there are two version of the navigation bar – the regular one, and the buddypress one – stacked on top of each other. On the top row are my regular pages and a search bar that has been added in my functions file, and just below, there are tabs for “Home” and “Members”, as well as the BuddyPress bar.

– I have the admin bar of Buddypress set to not show in the functions file, but there is a gap in my WordPress admin page where it would normally go (it’s blank, but the gap remains).

I’d prefer not to put the testing site up here, so I’ll DM you the URL.

Thanks!

the more you try to get this one alive, the more you kill it on your own.

no answer mean no solution YET…

You have two options to edit the string:

1) Edit the language label (preferred)

The “username” can be modified with a custom language file.

Read the “Labels and Messages” section at the URL below to find out how:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

I use the program, PoEdit, to make such changes.

2) Edit the template

The login form can be found in /bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php.

Copy it over to your child theme and edit accordingly.
