BuddyPress.org

@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:

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/upgrading-from-10x/

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/

I’m 85% certain this was all the changes I made to the core files

http://blog.etiviti.com/2010/02/forcing-buddypress-to-use-user_nicename-for-member-urls-and-mentions/

Just tried External Group Blogs on a localhost.localdomain XAMPP install (really need those RSS feeds before I make the jump to 1.2) and it failed when creating a group at the Add RSS feeds stage with the following errors

yep, 10% IE6 is about all I’m getting on all my personal sites, so I stopped going out of the way to cater for it. so, time to start pushing the envelope a little bit maybe? as of yet, i’m still undecided, so for now i’ll stay put…

That’s right, Mike.

David Aubin’s port of BlueImp’s AJAX Chat to BP has group functionality:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-ajax-chat/

The original chat interface isn’t polished enough though and the actual port by Dave has its bugs.

I currently have a v1.2 “re-port” of BlueImp’s AJAX Chat working on my test server. It functions well, but outputs quite a few warnings and notices in the server log! If I can get it to a stable state without the warnings, I might release it.

If there’s a better, open-source chat plugin that supports multiple rooms, that would be another option!

is BP Member Map working with 1.2?

@Xevo IE6 is only used by 10% of folks http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

I can’t stand any version of IE myself
