BuddyPress.org

@nit3watch Thanks for the message, and thanks for sharing the theme. I can’t wait to check it out.

I just try it above muchad’s code and put that in your child theme function.php. It works, why? Because the characters are messing it up. Here’s workable code:
`//=Change the number of activity items to show per page
function my_custom_query_filter( $query_string ) {
$query_string .= ‘&per_page=30’;
return $query_string;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring’, ‘my_custom_query_filter’ );`

adding “Groups” page to new bp site seems to have solved it

Followed instructions from above link. All worked well.

Except

the new bp installation is not drawing in the posts from the other sites.

Any ideas about where to look to get this functionality back would be greatly appreciated.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I installed Wp 3.1.1 and then went through the multisite process and then installed buddypress 1.2.8. Installed groupblogs 1.5 Used ronaldzw fix for groupblogs – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-groupblog/forum/topic/no-bp-groupblogs-menu-under-buddypress-menu-in-network-admin/

but there is no new member sign up, only a log in. So there is no way to create a new member on the front end.

Thanks

fix a issue where by if the content area is ’shorter’ than the sidebars ( being ‘taller’ from widgets ), the content boarder breaks.

Research Faux columns for backgrounds running full height and overlapping borders using negative margins to create the illusion of a full height single borders.

What’s the issue with stripping and IE?

I trust that the ‘screw this’ chap has requested a full refund

Hey, nice one Update us here when it gets approved (I assume you’re talking about the wordpress.org list?)

@imjscn I think the beauty is that there is no wrong way of going about it. Since I use MU, I don’t need CPT since the entire subsite is dedicated to the q/a. This keeps search separate from of different content types also keeps wp-admin only dedicated to q/a. I can only imagine when you do CPTs that managing the CPTs under one wp-admin it could get little overwhelming keeping those apart from other content but I’m not familiar with CPTs so I don’t know. I’ve only ever used a new blog when I need a new type of content. How does search work for cpt?

Hate to say it, but I am having the same issue using WP 3.1.1 and BP 1.2.8

This is using the BP Default Theme.

Same behavior too, as it redirects after registration to the main site url. This is NOT in the root of the web server, but a sub direction if it matters (domain.com/_news/)

There seem to be issues surrounding this all across the forums with mixed updates. Anyone definitively have the solution for this as it seems people either post and figure it out or post and give up?

Thanks in advance!

@dog0012 try with this plugin https://buddypress.org/community/groups/wangguard/

@henrypwmoulton Doesn’t look to be compatible with BP and it looks more like a forum custom post type. Reminds me of a premium theme http://wordpressqa.com/
Having said that, the best way to find out if that plugin is compatible with BP would be to ask the plugin devs at http://wp-answers.com/contact

@dcaccavo thanks for sharing. Is this for latest versions – WordPress 3.1.1, BuddyPress 1.2.8 and bbPress 1.0.3?

The last time I did an external bbPress install for BP was more than a year ago and it took me about 38++ steps If I recall well, that was bbPress 1.0.2 with WPMU 2.8.4a and BP 1.1.2 or something I think…

How’s the external forum working so far for you? Does posting to forum show up in sitewide Activity Stream and in member’s activity stream?

bbPress is being converted to a WP Plugin https://trac.bbpress.org/roadmap by JJJacoby, Lead Dev of both bbPress plugin and BuddyPress plugin.

Currently, there’s a “Global Forums Plugin” ($30 membership) by at BuddyDev.com that works as a standalone forum on top of the bbPress internal Forum set up and/or works with existing BP Group Forums. I believe it’s scheduled to be updated soon as Brajesh is also looking at the roadmap for bbPress.

EDIT – there’s an interesting post by someone who seems to have integrated an external bbPress with BuddyPress, don’t know how it’s working so far though – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/what-the-heck-is-wrong-with-my-forums/?topic_page=2&num=15&_wpnonce=46d45d8861#post-95884

Just posted this for another guy. I actually read this forum when having my issue…just resolved, hope it works for you too. took about 10 mins with this technique, hope it works.
1. First delete the bb-config.php from you server (in root wordpress folder, if you used the buddypress bbpress installer).
2. download the zip of bbpress from their site. -> extract all -> and ftp to a new directory (foooorum was mine)
3. go to http://yourawsomedomain.com/fooooorum it should open their installer.
4. ftp your wp-config.php from your server to computer and open it.
5. follow instructions on the installer first is db info: dbhost db user, user password. all this is in the wp-config.php file you just opened. Use this same info -> click advanced settings, and make sure the host is right mine needed to be changed from localhost to mysql.mydomain.com
6. click to step two, click wordpress integration. Now you need to log onto you phpmyadmin. you can often do this by mysql.yourdomain.com then use the login details for the db that you used again, the dbuser and user password. Once in there click the database, you will see a lot of files that look like wp_daks_bpetc This is important. you need the wp_daks (the daks signify random letters from your actual one). So just where it asks for the tables of wp files give it to them in “wp_daks_” format. click next, and install i think. ALMOST THERE!
7. go to your wp dashboard click on the buddypress area, click on forums setup. it will say you already did it, but click reinstall.
8. Select use an outside install.
9. Enter the path of the other install for me it already said /user/domain/ so i just changed it to /user/domain/foooorum. Click complete and you are good to go. no it should all work. Please let me know if it doesn’t, cause it worked for me easily when nothing else would.

Hello, not sure if this is your exact problem, but I was not able to post anything in my forum. I looked and had no tables. the fix I used after trying everything I could find:
1. First delete the bb-config.php from you server.
2. download the zip of bbpress from their site. -> extract all -> and ftp to a new directory (foooorum was mine)
3. go to http://yourawsomedomain.com/fooooorum it should open their installer.

5. follow instructions on the installer first is db info: dbhost db user, user password. all this is in the wp-config.php file you just opened. Use this same info -> click advanced settings, and make sure the host is right mine needed to be changed from localhost to mysql.mydomain.com

Wow that’s weird I was just coming onto the site to request a review for this premium plug in:

http://wp-answers.com/

I was wondering if it was fully compatible with BuddyPress?

Thanks Boone, I didn’t even realize there was an issue with the plugin. I did update it to correct for this problem.

@leoplaw – apologies for the late heads up – BP builds / stores all the activity records when the activity happens, not when you want to display them. So, all old activity will be as per the software you had running when the activity happened.

If you want to process old activity and update them, you will need to write an activity loop, finding all relevant entries (e.g. user and / or activity type) and replacing the activity record appropriately. Perhaps something you’d write as a plugin, and trigger manually from wp-admin backend.
