BuddyPress.org

So… I had the same problem, but as a BP n00b I can’t tell from this thread what the status is. Is it considered solved yet, and if so, how do I apply the fix?

Thanks

Mike

buddypress Ajax chat is his plugin and with adding the plugin-template.php to the default theme, it looks great on my site.

@bpinspire I had this issue on my WP 2.9 setup and I fixed it like so:

1. Go to Settings > Miscellaneous
2. Blank out: “Store uploads in this folder”
3. Fill out: “Full URL path to files”

Not sure why the default wp-content/uploads doesn’t work, never took the time to report it as a bug to see if it was my server or WordPress or BuddyPress at fault.

Try upping the memory limit if possible.

If you can’t up the memory limit, try to implement some of the improving performance tips listed here – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/improving-performance/

The old theme (BP Classic) is available in the BP Backwards Compatibility plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-backwards-compatibility/

The new theme is built with child themes in mind! So yes, you can use a custom child theme on top of bp-default!

More info here:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Has the parent-child structure been abandoned in version 1.2? I see the download comes with only one bp-default folder. Can you still use a custom child theme on top of bp-default in 1.2 or should you just replace bp-default?

Delete /wp-content/themes/bp-sn-parent/.

Please follow the instructions to upgrading:

@Dfa327 Have you tested the chat plugin you wrote on 1.2 by chance?

The BuddyPress Default theme is not meant to be used for user blogs.

You can disable it sitewide from the dashboard – Site Admin > Themes

Hey MrMaz

Re: tabs issue and nothing showing up – understood.

Re: time issue – bp_get_link_last_active() displays the right time for me, bp_get_link_time_since_created() in bp_link_list_item_xtrabar_userlink_created() gives me the weird offset. Anything specifically you want me to do for debugging?

@Symm2112

Wow! You work fast… congrats!

THANK YOU @PCWRITER!

I copied that file over and it works great on my site now.

workin’ on it…

your best shot will be at their official website, not here…

@pcwriter,

I have the same plugin. What changes did you need to make and move the template? I checked my install and I don’t see what files need to be copied for it to work. What do you mean by this statement? “There’s no plugin-template in BP1.2. So simply copy-paste the one from BP1.1.3, add in the content & padder divs, add in the call for the sidebar and upload that file to your theme. It works beautifully.” Can you pm me how you set it up so I can get this running again on my site?

Thanks for the help!

not according to this – Version: 0.9.6.4

@Dfa327 and everyone else too,

Just thought I’d chime in here with some comments on buddypress-ajax-chat. I purchased the premium version a while back and had Dave install it on my original BP1.1.3 site and it worked flawlessly across the whole network.

I’ve now installed BP1.2 and only had to make a slight modification so the main chat would work. There’s no plugin-template in BP1.2. So simply copy-paste the one from BP1.1.3, add in the content & padder divs, add in the call for the sidebar and upload that file to your theme. It works beautifully.

There’s only one feature that I haven’t managed to get working yet: invite Username. “Username” is not recognized. I take this as an opportunity to dive in and learn a bit about how this stuff works. If I can debug it myself… hooray for me!

By the way, the shoutbox works just fine across all blogs of the network in BP1.2, although I haven’t had the opportunity to test it with multiple members ‘cuz I don’t have any yet

@ashfame:

I recognize you from the bbPress forums, so I know you know your way around WP/bb!

It shouldn’t take long for you to get up to speed with BP.

4) Re: modifying menu bar – you don’t need to hack the core file.

Read this:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/

You can put custom code in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php to override settings and variables.

7) Blacklisting usernames in WPMU – login to the WPMU backend, navigate to “Site Admin > Options”, look for the “Banned Names” field.

There are also some good how-to guides as well:

Also read up on the global $bp variable:

Hope that brings you up to speed!
