Release History

thats the changes.

I have tried both http://www.winextra.com/forums/ and http://www.winextra.com/forums/bb-config.php with the same result – can’t find the file.

If I’m not mistaken, I think you have to put in the absolute file path to bb-config.php (eg. /var/www/forums/bb-config.php).

1) bbPress plugins in BuddyPress will require porting to a WP plugin so BuddyPress can detect it. Depending on the complexity of your bbPress plugins, this might be complicated.

2) You’ll basically have two sets of forums – BP group forums and your external install of bbPress. Your external install of bbPress will need to be themed if you want it to match your WP/BP site.

3) BP forums are powered by groups. You need to create a “group” in order to create a forum in BuddyPress. If you choose to integrate an external install of bbPress with BP, your BuddyPress forums will show up in your external install by default as well. To avoid duplication in your external bbPress install, read this thread.

Re: long range question. Not sure what is going to happen.

This is a much requested feature. It may be in future versions of BP. There are a few plugins that may fill the gap. Posthaste, todo mini forms or gravity form.

Great…thanks.

a community that might get 10+ people like an item might be an issue.

trying to figure out how to display the items in ul li format.

and may limit it to display later on?

FWIW, i’d like to see an extra column on the front page to the right of the activity stream. On mine, I would show featured posts…this would give a site admin some editorial control and turn a community into a news source.

BP Gallery Beta available now, Download test and Enjoy

It’s not a free plugin though and still in development but it has great potential.

I think edelwater’s response was to foodin65.

I don’t understand what you’re saying.

For those who might not be aware, Buddydev.com’s BP-Gallery is a paid plugin. I think the baseline cost is $30 for 3 months access to the entire buddydev.com site (themes, plugins, forums).

no need to wait bp-gallery is at RC1 right now over at http://buddydev.com (I have no skin in this game, btw)

You need to create a custom page template, then add the members or groups loop to that page. You can the only show specific groups. Right now there are no categories or tags, so you will have to specify.

Check out the loop template tags:

Yup its there

http://tempsg.com/buddypress/wp-content/plugins/tweetstream/js/tweetstream.js

it may be a file location problem because I have test site in a sub folder and the T icon is not showing because its coded to use the base url

these need a location set that allows sub folders. I added it hard coded and it works now

echo'<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”/buddypress/wp-content/plugins/tweetstream/css/style.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />’;

echo'<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/buddypress/wp-content/plugins/tweetstream/js/tweetstream.js”></script>’;

Forum posting still does not work

@finni3 Until Andy trumps all of our work and goes deep core, Boone’s & D Cartwright’s excellent merged plugin will fit your needs https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-activity-stream-subscription/

well, I admit that I’m new at both WP & BP so, i upgraded without first deactivating scripts. (in my defense, however, i did go tothe upgrades page but there were no instructions on how to go from 1.2 -> 1.2.1 and i assumed a minor upgrade might have only limited/isolated changes — ok, i was lazy. fortunately, i was on my practice site.

right off the bat, i see that one of my plugins in the practice area is broken (“Group Documents”) . As buddypress tries to restart, the error reported is “Call to undefined function is_site_admin()”. obviously, this worked before the upgrade so, i’m wondering…

1) has this function been deprecated and, if so, is there a replacement function?

2) where do i find what changes were included in 1.2.1?

Voted

People should feel free to do the same with buddypress extensions :p

I learned from Andy that it’s helpful to:

1. Deactivate the buddypress plugin.

2. Backup your content (I didn’t need to, but better safe than sorry)

3. Purge the buddypress folder and its contents from the plugins folder.

4. Download the latest version. Upload the “buddypress” folder back into the plugins folder

5. Activate the plugin. Done.

It may seem like an extra step, but I’ve found it was most effective.

This is caused when you have BuddyPress turned off. Make sure it is activated, it’s also as a result of the plugin not doing this:

did you actually ran ALTER TABLE users ADD lastactivity INTEGER DEFAULT 0; to add an extra field to the users table?

just an update on bowob: it did work completely after I deinstalled the achievement plugin ……

It is $40 for 150.000 loads / meaning: ad free which was my primary motive to move to a more cost effective solution. If you do have that many pageloads a day then its a good and fast solution imho (no ties at all to this product or the creator)
