BuddyPress.org

BuddyPress doesn’t modify any WordPress tables or data. It does add a few entries to your _options though. The easiest way to “uninstall” BuddyPress is to drop the tables it creates when it installs. They usually start with “wp_bp_”.

Very few WordPress plugins have a real “uninstall.” Most of them pollute the WordPress tables with their data and when you deactivate and delete that plugins files, their settings and data still remain in the database. It took me a while to get used to that too, coming from a world where if you don’t need something, you get rid of it; But it doesn’t hurt anything keeping it there, and it even helps sometimes if you decide to revisit a plugin that you deleted 6 months ago.

In the coming weeks I may write a plugin to import existing blogs into the wp_bp_* tables, but the risk with that kind of thing is just like any other aggregator, it will be a very heavy routine that goes through all users, all blogs, all posts, and all comments, and feeds them into the BuddyPress tables for future use.

@nonegiven:

No one is forcing you to use WordPress and BuddyPress, and if it doesn’t suit your particular needs then it isn’t the right tool for the job, and that’s okay.

Multilingual blogging and content management is a relatively new need, and as more people speak up and help out in areas of need, things like this eventually do make it into the core product

Remember that there are very few people that can do multilingual development, and even less that can do it well. It isn’t that no one cares, it isn’t due to lack of funding (you mean people get paid to do this? ), it isn’t because the need isn’t obvious, it’s because things are prioritized in the order that the WordPress community votes on, and for 2.9 the votes said media was the top priority.

We’ll get there, I promise. But before we can do that, we need to finish some of the work we’ve already got first.

Sounds like you need to activate BuddyPress to me.

You need a subversion client. For Windows I recommend TortoiseSVN. It’s a way to check out the “bleeding edge” code that includes all spot fixes and patches to current versions.

If you ignore empty lines and white space changes, check https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/2069 for all of the edits I made tonight to the avatar upload and display process.

Hi, that was my error. Plugin auto group join works fine with buddypress 1.1.2

thanks

@Porscheheritage, if you’re comfortable with SVN, you can try the trunk version.

Or, apply the fix from here.

The reason my avatar appears in WPMU is because it’s picking up my Gravatar in those places.

If WPMU is also having an issue with uploads, then I reckon this is probably not a BuddyPress issue (yet.)

Hi there, thanks for engaging with my problem. After I go to the buddypress

Create New Group page, go through the process of putting in a group name, description, selecting options about group forum and comments etc, then upload an avatar, select users to invite and click Finsh… then I am redirected to the beginning of the process and if I go to the Groups page – there are still no groups created.

@xevo

If the dutch language pack comes with both po’s and mo’s, then you can rescan the buddypress directory with poedit, update the database from the source, and then proceed with your changes.

If not, then you’re sort-of out of luck I think. I haven’t found a tool to merge an existing mo into a new po, so it would be a manual process of copy and pasting each preexisting translation.

Your avatar problem is probably because of the file itself. What kinda file do you upload? If it’s some kinda rare file like .raw then it’s obvious it wouldn’t work. If you could, also place the specs of the image, like if it’s cmyk/rgb, how many bits, the size of the image and wether its transparent or not.

Right now Buddypress has to be in the same database as wpmu, I heard they might make it possible to put into another database later in development.

And while your at it, could you make me some coffee too? Haven’t slept for 22 hours..

@carinallc

Disabling the admin bar doesn’t change any functionality of BuddyPress. If you have groups enabled, and your theme gives you a path to the create groups pages, then you can create groups. What you’re looking for is in the userbar.php and optionsbar.php files within the bp-sn-parent directory.

If you’re using a custom version of bp-default, click on your own profile, click on “Groups” and then “Create Group”

@joafruit

Do you have groups enabled? What error message(s) do you receive? What is stopping you exactly from creating a group?

As far as I know, you HAVE to put them in the same database or it won’t work. I’d also leave the standard prefix, since you never know if a plugin or wpmu/buddypress might go haywire because you didn’t leave the standard prefix.

I now have re-installed wpmu, buddypress and bbpress (all newest versions). But it still won’t work. I also used buddypress Forum Setup.

See the site here: http://xevodesign.nl/talkmore/

The only 3 differences between this setup and the one I did on my localhost (which worked), are that I installed on my localhost, I used my localhost root and the wpmu version.

Edit: Never mind, got it working, used the bbpress-integration plugin. Strangely enough I didnt have to use this before on my localhost.

I might’ve found the first bug, I’m not sure if buddypress/wpmu/bbpress or one of my plugins is the problem though.

I have a stand-alone bbpress and integrated it with the bbpress install. But now the cross-login doesn’t work anymore. When I login to buddypress/wpmu I’m not automatically logged in to my bbpress, I checked if I maybe made a mistake with my KEYs, but those are correct.

Since this worked perfectly fine with wpmu 2.8.4a, I’m geussing it’s wpmu’s fault. I’ll test some more and I’ll try to see if I can track down the problem.

Btw, the plugins I have installed are:

– Plugin Commander

– WP Wiki (already tried disabling, no effect)

Your supposed to go to “/register” not “wp-signup.php”.

Add this to your functions.php. Not sure who wrote this, but the creds go to that guy.

function rk_signup_redirect() {

if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'wp-signup.php') !== false ) {

$url = 'http://domain.ext/register';

wp_redirect($url);

exit;

}

}

add_action('init', 'rk_signup_redirect');

Change $url = ‘http://domain.ext/register’; into your own domain.

@audiobookstef: Start looking for something like buddypress then, good luck!

@ Arghagain: No, I just made a clean install of Wpmu 2.8.5.2, Buddypress 1.1.2 and even a stand alone integrated BBpress 1.0.2. So no problems there.

Shouldnt this be closed, since there’s already a new topic of the newer version?

see this TRAC-ticket:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1292

I know this may be a stupid reply or may be repeating someone else saying, but have anyone see a problem of getting buddypress 1.1.2 on wpmu 2.8.5.2?

I have the same problem.

It works fine with regular themes though, which is NOT a proper solution of course, for it would not include the social network features.

I find the fact that this topic is not answered and the main theme being bugged an OUTRAGE and an UNPROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE!

I have gone this far thinking buddypress was a professional item, may be I should change my judgment.

I can lose money a couple of days but after that I will go somewhere else if this problem isn’t fixed!
