BuddyPress.org

In addition, disable BuddyPress and use the regular WPMU theme. Can you register new blogs successfully? If you can’t, you have a WPMU problem, not BuddyPRes.s

We need to version that .zip otherwise we are going to have to wade through hundreds of confusing topics in future BP versions.

Report this as a bug on https://trac.buddypress.org/, I think init is too early.

Plus, if you’re finding bugs, I hope you are contributing them to https://trac.buddypress.org/

Awesome. Thanks! One small tweak. This code just outputs the slug with an initial capital letter:

ucwords( $wp_query->query_vars['category_name'] ), 'buddypress' )

ucwords( $wp_query->query_vars['tag'], 'buddypress' )

Would be nice to use a nice name instead (I’ll have to look in the DB or print out the variables to see if there’s some other variable I could use)… or use some PHP string command (if possible) to strip the dashes and capitalize all words.

That looks like what everybody needed

Great, the zip is filled with loads of .tmp, .svn, _MacOSX files though (346 files in 187 folders!). Andy/whoever made it, maybe it should be repackaged?

Also, the instructions on https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/ are a bit confusing; if somebody got it working, maybe they can edit the documentation with some example codes?

Ok, is there a available plugins for this now?

@MrMaz thank you! Downloaded the latest development version and everything is fine on my end.

Does this help? https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

I am into HTML5 as well. However, definitely can’t discount the IE user crowd (which is larger than others seem to think), play elitist and leave them off the markup grid. The w3c stats page only reflects those who visit w3schools – those who are more technically progressive and therefore use FireFox, Safari, etc. Sales of PC’s of all brands and sizes is still overwhelming larger than Mac et al, and then only a minority of PC users download and add Firefox or any other browser. That’s life.

There’s wp-answers https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-answers/ too, for rating comments on wordpress posts. It’s a rough plugin that lurches into Spanish now and again, and doesn’t work on buddypress forums. However, it might offer a few more clues on how to get there.

The other thing to do would be to look for a buddypress plugin https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/ for forums that added some metadata to forum posts.

Please do report back if you make any progress – I’ll be interested to hear how it goes.

And if I make progress with my mailman <-> forum plugin, I’ll let you know how I went about adding metadata to, and manipulating, forum posts

Exactly. I believe this to be off-topic, but try disabling BuddyPress. If the issue still occurs, then it’s a WordPress problem. If it only breaks *when* you enable BuddyPress, file a report on http://trac.buddypres.org/ using your username and password from this site.

@Andy

Do you have an updated ETA on the WP theme to BP theme tutorial mentioned above? Thanks!

I’m down with arrowchat for the simple footer chat.

Good point, Modemlooper!

Post it in Trac as an enhancement – https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket

I assume that people told you this before when you reported, but just in case: this is a WordPress issue rather than a Buddypress issue, I’m pretty sure.

Reporting the bug here won’t help much — if nobody has an answer on the forum here, you’d be better off seeking some help through the WP/WPMU support system.

I installed the new welcome pack on a normal wp 2.9.1 and bp 1.2 installation but the option is not visible in the dashboard under “buddypress”. by going directly the Welcome pack link in the dashboard: admin.php?page=dp_welcomepack I get the error that I don’t have sufficient privileges to view the admin page.

It’s basically anything with the wp_ or bp_ prefix.

Also when upgrading, follow the instructions:

I have made tow posts to this thread, which I think are important, neither get published – they appear to me when logged in, but non one else can read them?

The first post had three links in it, and it never got published.

I edited it a bit, with only two links in it, and it appears that that one will not show to the public or any other members? What’s the deal?

I am currently testing the flashchat script which is cheap – only $5 – on one server, wnd will be testing integration with phpbb and with wordpress to see how it works.

Someone wrote an integration script for it and wordpress 2,7 –

http://forum.tufat.com/showthread.php?t=49926

so I am thinking it may work – although the script has user roles from wordpress for user, moderators and admins – it says it does not pull the info for gender icons – If someone would modify that it would be awesome, as it is cheap.

I have looked into the ajaxchat, and it looks cool with the way it can integrate into buddypress, was that on wpmu.org I think? – But as I commented there, I am concerned about the ajax chat and server resources, and privacy issues. Not that I have had any issues with it, I just imagine with a lot of people using it at once it may start to hiccup since it relies on sql for messaging. I would love to here real world performance issues with it running 75 users at once on a shared server.

An integrated chat room would be awesome – wish I could help more with it!

(now back to my learning php for dummies book) sigh.

I use realchat ( Realchat dot com )on a couple of websites, and it is really solid – it’s not the cheapest thing out there, but it’s also not the most expensive.

Unfortunately there is no buddypress or wordpressmu integration, although there are free integration plugins for vbulletin, phpbb, drupal, and others. So I would think that a plugin developer could look at the code on this page:

http://www.realchat.com/doc/database-integration.html

and create a plugin that would allow logging in via wordpress/buddypress and show buddypress avatars – that would be awesome. In fact I would pay $100 for someone to make that a reality.

Is your buddypress functions file definitely present at /home/pgnew/public_html/wp-content/themes/wp-clear-basic/bp/bp-functions.php ?

Looks like it isn’t finding it…

Yes, I made a plugin for this called BuddyPress My Friends Widgets. Let me know if you have any issues with it! https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/my-friends-widgets-for-buddypress/
