BuddyPress.org

This is an interesting topic, one that concerns me too because I have been looking at the various options out there. I must say that BP is still somewhat in its infancy, I have been waiting for another project to open up their codebase namely Anahita Social engine, but maybe its me I just don’t like it when things get built on top of eachother and that project appears to be built on top of Joomla. BP is also built on WPMU and I am still trying to see if that will be a good or bad thing.

What concerns me is when things get built on top of eachother that it opens up security holes. WordPress itself has had its fair share of vulnerabilities but has proven to be a good platform so I having something built on top of that is something I am ok to live with.

Something I have been looking at is Community Engine which a Ruby on Rails (ROR) based community engine as the name says. Anyone got any experience with that?

Did some checking and it appears that the above code I posted doesn’t work as advertised.

All the error messages are picked up correctly, but it seems that the additional $_POST values from register.php aren’t picked up, so it always displays an error message and a user basically can’t sign up.

Any ideas are welcome, cause I don’t really have a clue

I will update the plugin for 1.1.1

The plugin was made for a early beta of buddypress and is not programmed properly.

I’s a quick and dirty try.

I just started to rebuild my template for the new theme architecture.

Next step will be to rewrite the Seo for Buddypress Plugin and extend it properly.

I have the same problem. Blank page on wp-signup.php.

The code end on:

<script type="text/javascript">var ajaxurl = "http://myblog.ro/wp-signup.php";</script>

I get a lot of traffic on inexistent blogs. Like when somone accesses http://sdfdsfsdf.myblog.ro gets redirected to http://myblog.ro/wp-signup.php?new=sdfdsfsdf but that is just a blank page now.

I have tried to apply the patch from trac to wp-login.php and it is the same blank page.

I use WPMU 2.8.4a and BuddyPress 1.1.1.

Please help if you have a solution to this. Thanks a lot.

1. You should not post wpmu questions to a forum dedicated to buddypress.

2. You should read wordpress documents, as this is a very basic question.

3. Google it.

So far 1.1 free theme is only one which you can download directly from this site, other than original buddypress theme.

There’re paid themes, but I believe they aren’t updated to 1.1

Well done on the book. It sounds really cool. There aren’t enough Buddypress themes out there. I am working on a custom parent theme, would like to share it once its done but its nowhere near ready for release.

Why don’t you set up a website and put that address in the book and then link to or keep copies of the theme on your site. That way if sites go offline you won’t end up with dead links in your published work.

Have you taken the step in the Buddypress adminbar [general settings] [component setup] [forums setup]. The last one, and created the forums?

The Author Homepage & Plugin Homepage links on the BuddyPress Plugins page for this plugin have been going to “Not Found” pages for a few days now:

http://example.org/my/awesome/bp/component

http://example.org/some/cool/developer

Not sure what it means.

Tried Andy Peatling’s suggestion of deleting & re-uploading the plugin, but still get the same fatal error in Admin > Plugins. (Running WPMU 2.8.4a + BuddyPress 1.1.1 + BuddyPress Skeleton Component 1.3).

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_example_register_widgets() (previously declared in /homepages/30/d119280860/htdocs/onesexfitsall/wp-content/plugins/bp-example/bp-example-templatetags.php:16) in /homepages/30/d119280860/htdocs/onesexfitsall/wp-content/plugins/bp-example/bp-example-widgets.php on line 65

I was playing around and found this that might help you.

go to your buddypress plugin folder inside bp-core open bp-core-widgets and remove these lines from welcome widget section.

<?php echo $before_title

. $instance[‘title’]

. $after_title; ?>

Erwin, it sounds like you are barking up the wrong tree with Facebook. I’m an FB app and connect developer and you don’t need to get anyone’s user ID and password. You connect their FB account with your website via the FB Connect javascript libraries and then you have access to their friends, etc. using the generated session key. All that TOS stuff you posted is just saying you can’t ask a user for his FB password and store it. You don’t need to know that person’s FB password to access their social graph.

I’d LOVE to see BuddyPress expanded to display FB friends, FB activity stream, etc. for a person’s friends whether or not they are a user of your website or not. I’m working on expanding a WordPress FB Connect plugin by http://sociable.es right now. I have it displaying all your FB friends and displaying your FB news stream. I need to work on stylesheets to get the stuff to look decent, but I have the core functionality up and running. Check out http://xtremelysocial.com. I want to add Twitter and MySpace support as well and also generate an ATOM feed (actually, better yet an http://activitystrea.ms format) with stream posts from ALL connected social network sites. Kind of like a friendfeed.com type site.

That feature is provided by WordPress MU, not BuddyPress, and as such you need to post or search for further information on this issue on their forums. I’m marking this as ‘not a support question’ as it isn’t a BuddyPress support question.

There isn’t any easy way of doing this. Such a thing would require a lot of work.

The function which is called is bp_get_page_title(). A hook ‘bp_page_title’ is provided which you could use to change it.

Unless I’m being stupid, the URLs you’ve posted above are identical? I don’t understand your question. Also, https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/when-asking-for-support.
