BuddyPress.org

I’m currently running BP 1.2 on my WP 2.9.1 (single user ), after that I’ve made my old niss theme BP compatible (it worked like a charm).

After activating the external group plugin, I get this php error :

Warning: array_map() [function.array-map]: Argument #2 should be an array in /homepages/…./blog/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups.php on line 2454

sorry if it’s a newbee question, i’m no php guru, far from it

thanks in advance for any help

cheers

OK, thanks Scotm!

I guess my problem is not so much getting P2 to work within Buddypress and customizing it, but how to use on the Group Blog homepage.

I may need to test install version 1.2 to see how it uses the post-form. And Posthaste may be a simpler starting point for my problem. Thanks Symm2112!

@Peterverkooijen

Here are the instructions for using Posthaste if you want to go that route.

If you comment out the action that places the form near the end of posthaste.php:

add_action(‘loop_start’, posthasteForm);

You can manually place the form in your theme where you want it to appear using this code:

if(function_exists(posthasteForm)) { posthasteForm(); } ?>

in my theme, I placed it right after the div id=content in my theme and it showed up at the top of the blog before any content.

Andy’s post on t how to make your WordPress theme work with BuddyPress can be found under Developers > Docs > How-to Guides. The extension pack can be downloaded from there. Follow the directions and you will have P2 working, but you’ll likely need to make some style adjustments in bp/bp.css for example as a minimum.

I think you need to upgrade to BP 1.2 before you do anything. There is an element of P2 features in the new BuddyPress (post-form) and the Default theme but P2 is in no way integrated with BP 1.2.

Thx

Scotm, where can I find Andy’s how-to and that Buddypress theme extension pack? Will it work for version 1.1.3?

Either way I’d like to learn more. I’m halfway integrating P2 into my custom theme, but can’t get the Ajax editing to work and all posts end up on the main blog instead of on the group or member blog.

Yes Symm2112, also definitely interested in your code. I’ll give Posthaste another try with your info. Perhaps I can put a new hybrid with Andy’s P2 solution together, that I will post here.

Thanks!

EDIT: Is P2 integrated in the version 1.2 custom theme? Anyway, I want to use that ajaxified microblogging interface on the group blog main page in a heavily customized version 1.1.3 theme and keep the blogs looking like blogs.

I have the same problem with BP 1.2. When activity streams are disabled, the individual group pages show an error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_activity_post_form_action() in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/post-form.php on line 1

Does anyone have a fix for this? Or am I the only one having it with bp 1.2 and WP 2.9.2?

Sweet – good to hear. Another terribly minor issue is when in wp-admin area under buddypress links the css isn’t pulling through on the links. But like i said minor look and feel issue.

Seriously awesome plugin

@nexia – Wouldn’t that also eliminate anyone NOT in the specific group from being able to use the forum though?

@ashfame – I don’t think there is an option in BP. Searching I found this topic regarding a plugin, but it looks like it’s only partially effective as some people were posting that it was not allowing any group creation.

Curious, do you still like the default theme now that 1.2 is out?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/allow-images/ this one?

how could I use this plugin with one-click installed bbpress ?

Hi

Still loving this plugin ! I am not sure nor recall how it works but on rc3 and WP 2.9.2 Single install – when i vote a link up or down for that matter the icons disappear and i have to refresh the page to see the vote added to the total – this is when viewing the links actual page and not the link directory.

Anyways just a heads up. Otherwise it appears to be rolling well.

I’ve tried P2 with the new Buddypress theme extension pack. Follow the how-to that Andy posted and you’ll see that it does work with Buddypress. Will require some styling though…

Discussed in this thread. You’ll have to install bbPress separately and integrate it with WordPress.

How about making a single group and then keep everything here. Silly workaround, i know.

There must be some way of using it without the group.

BTW why do you wanna use BuddyPress if you don’t want to use any of its feature. bbPress might be a better choice. Would like to hear from your side.

@pressography and @andremartin: Is that working for you to call directly the BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG in your navigation for instance:

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG ) ) : ?> class="selected"<?php endif; ?>><a>/<?php echo BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

As that isn’t for me, yes I can have the home page and a switch to choose what you show on the front page but I can’t call it directly in the old manner or even with a direct blog/ by using defines in the function. There is no define in the core for BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG anymore so that was my thinking to define it. I’m trying to get just like before a direct call to the main blog under the navigation if that isn’t the front page for reference of what I’m trying. I’m also trying to not have too much nasty code in functions.php so if you got it working this would be far more preferable.

I just get it linking or trying to link to a page and coming up with page not found even with a define and opting with a blog/ call – this is on the full release version of 1.2.

Peter,

in the FAQ of posthaste, you can disable the automatic placement in the loop and manually put the code to place it in your theme. That worked great for me. I put the code just inside the content container on my blog template for my sub blogs and it worked beautifully. When I get to work, I’ll send you the code I used if you’re interested.

Just tried Posthaste. It adds a P2-derived post form at the top of every loop – and I mean literally every loop in the site, including member loops and group loops. And it doesn’t seem to work either.

Has anyone else tried P2 within Buddypress by now, in particular on member blogs and group blogs? I’m working on it, but got stuck…
