BuddyPress.org

I can report the same problem of not being able to post an article after installing the plugin.

Also:

Is there an area within a users profile to see the items that they ‘like’?

I was picturing a tab ‘my likes’ where I could see all the activity streams that I ‘liked’ and also have the ability to ‘unlike’ an item.

Success!

JJJ – I implemented your fix mentioned above and here: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1970

*****

bp-core-avatars.php line 389

Replace

if ( !$path = get_option( 'upload_path' ) )<br />

$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads';<br />

With:

if ( !$path = get_option( 'upload_path' ) )<br />

$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads';<br />

else<br />

$path = ABSPATH . $path;</p>

<p>

and then in “Settings >> Miscellaneous” simply kept “Store uploads in this folder” as wp-content/uploads and in “Full URL path to files” added the full url path of the uploads folder: http://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/uploads

Worked beautifully! Thanks so much all for all your help!!

Oh, and I also get an HTTP error when trying to upload a new image.

Problem. With 0.0.6 I can’t save a post draft or preview it. I just a get a screen saying, “You do not have permission to do that.”

I think….. a buddypress chatbar that would work the same as bowob would be very cool to have this is a nice start: http://ryan.rawswift.com/sandbox/jixedbar-0.0.2/demo/

So… I had bowob on my site which I still think is the most fastest and the one users most like. Its also the simplest to install: just activate the plugin sitewide and presto. It was however also the most expensive it costs 40 dollar per 150.000 loads. I think they need to change their pricing schema because that is really a) expensive b) confusing. The cost was mainly why I looked for another solution.

– arrowchat does not have a teamroom and no bp integration and as far as i can see its not out yet

– wibiya provides a nice toolbar but the login is a hassle to login via e.g. facebook and another via twitter, i want to have the user account from my own site

– i now have cometchat enabled but users find the “common chatroom” almost never. I currently have the problem that it keeps counting online users even when they are long gone

I have not tried webbychat yet maybe thats an idea to test that one also concerning the load. Bowob took abou 50% of my server resources when people where chatting happily away and basically cometchat does the same.

also notice that ALL of these even bowob which resides on another server take a huge load on your server. It pretty much does not matter which one you choose.

Erroring out with new version on Admin page for Buddypress like:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/xxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-like/bp-like.php on line 736

(great plugin though!)

(I auto-upgraded, and reverting to 0.0.5 fixed it)

I appreciate your rationale and enthusiasm, Tim.

It’s because certain issues might not be relevant anymore.

And I doubt Alessandro is reading this thread.

r-a-y, I definitely understand that these days people like to consider older posts and forum threads dead after a short period of time. Some user just like to jump on old stuff without finding the answers in newer threads. However, when there is a dearth of information about a particular topic and people are trying to properly research before posting and all that comes up is old threads, I’m of the opinion that they should be resurrected. Why start a new post asking the same questions and diverging the threads? I’m actively searching for information about this and scrounging through PHP code and websites for answers. I’ve uncovered some good information that I’m trying to share, but am still looking for more answers. If I run a search and it returns all these “dead” threads and no new threads, the masses are going to as well.

Plus, I just replied to other threads offering to help with questions you’ve asked here months ago to which I see no answers. If you’ve figured all this out, why not update those original threads with the answers for newer folks trying to figure things out? If you haven’t figured everything out, then why not be happy that the threads are going active again and information is being shared?

Please don’t take this the wrong way, I just don’t understand why some forums seem to be filled with people complaining about “old” threads being responded to and others appreciate it. And why don’t the forums that are dead-set against replying to old threads, simply close out the old ones?

Seeing that this is very old conversation…has there been any update on this or the https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/excluding-certain-blogs-from-bp_has_site_blogs-function thread.

Really interested in removing / excluding certain blogs…that would help our topic we started https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/exclude-admin-id-for-has-blogs-and-has-members

seanx820, I’m pretty experienced in PHP, WP, and am now diving into BP (since it works on non-WPMU installs). I’ve done a lot of theme mods, including making changes to the navigation links, both in standard WP themes and now in BP themes. My site http://xtremelysocial.com sounds similar to what you are trying to do in that your blog is your main focus, but you want to add social-networking type features on top of that.

One of the big challenges with BP is theme support. There are almost no BP themes out there and adding full BP support to an existing themes is very difficult. However, there are some resources for you to check out.

Your best bet if you want to keep your current theme is to use this plugin. Its very basic and won’t have the BP sections in your site looking sharp, but it will work.

Also, here are some more details on hacking themes for BP.

Why revive an 11-month thread?

I don’t think Dnorman said anything about using Multi-DB. Check this post for info on why existing WP users aren’t appearing in BP when you add that plugin. https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/activating-existing-users#post-39547

Alessandro, I’m a bit confused with what you are trying to do. It sounds like you have a normal (single) WP installation and are looking to go social with it. A lot has happened since you posted this and BuddyPress is now available for single WP installs. I’m testing it out now. In WP v3.0, WordPress MU will be merged with the single WP installation and there will be a migration path. I can help answer questions around this… just let me know some more specifics.

I already had the beginnings of a Thematic/BP theme when I decided to use the BuddyPress default template instead. I had already set up a few pages and posts.

I want to place the BuddyPress menu on the top Admin Bar and my normal WordPress pages as a menu in the header.

For the Admin Bar I tried the code Peter Anselmo posted, but it places ONLY my WP menu in the Admin Bar, but not my BuddyPress menu, as desired. How do I “filter in” only the BP menu?

function mytheme_add_top_pages() {

wp_list_pages( 'title_li=&depth=1');

}

add_action('bp_adminbar_menus','mytheme_add_top_pages');

For the Header, line 85 of bp-default/header.php produces a menu that includes BOTH my WP and BP items. If I comment out this line, I get ONLY the BP menu, but not my WP menu, as desired. How do I “filter in” the WP menu?

How can I get this to work?

Thanks in advance,

PB

Nice site. Have you ever posted on Yahoo Answers. There’s a section called Reality Television and it’s full of American Idol fans. I bet if you posted your site to this section, you’d get a lot of new members. The fans are usually on the site the night of the show.

is_site_admin() is a buddypress function (defined in bp-core-wpabstraction.php) that is being called by Group Documents. This will throw an error if group documents remains activated after you de-activate Buddypress. Although this error will be fixed in the next version of Group Docs, in general, you should deactivate Buddypress plugins before deactivating Buddypress itself

Yes, you can!

If you have a child theme, move /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php and /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/activate.php to your child theme and modify to your liking.

If you don’t have a child theme, read this guide:
