BuddyPress.org

From what I see in that original forum topic you were not put on ignore but topic was closed and other users were directed to contact you directly via your email account instead of posting responses.

Also the forums have a bug that causes a problem when trying to post and you have to log out and log back in. And unless your paying close attention you may think you have posted but infact the page reloads and says you have to be logged in to post. I know when I first tried posting the first 3 times here I thought I had left posts but came back next day and posts were not there. Until I saw the HELP I CANT POST topic https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/help-i-cant-post-readme.

Because semantically BuddyPress views the wire and forum components as part of groups (and other components); they aren’t stand alone.

See https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/can-buddypress-activation-emails-be-turned-off too.

THis is a WPMU thing. I believe this behaviour has changed in BP 1.1.1. I strongly suggest you upgrade your install regardless.

Why did you uninstall SI captcha?

SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam works with WordPress 2.6+, WPMU, and BuddyPress

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/

WP-reCAPTCHA is not up to date for BuddyPress 1.1, that is why it does not work.

Do we have bp-config here? Being an active buddypress user, I’ve never seen it, nor faced any need to editing such files manually to use buddypress.

@Timschmi:

Hi Tim! Much time have passed since the last post and I have an one question. Will pmwiki plugin be available for download? I would like to use it. If the plugin wasn’t made public, I will have to write it again.

I think both the above are on the money. I’d suggest making a link to (does that even make sense in the context of a book?!) https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/

There is no core fix for this yet.

This problem will continue to exist until a newer version of WPMU adds an additional filter to the sign-up location.

I’ve done something like this in the past… It all depends on which file you’re trying to do this in, and in which loop so you know what data you have available to you…

In a post loop, you can use the global $authordata to get the authors ID.

// Code borrowed from bp_adminbar_authors_menu()

function bp_author_link() {

global $authordata;



// Get author's data BuddyPress style

$author = new BP_Core_User( $authordata->ID );



echo '<a href="' . $author->user_url . '">';

echo $author->avatar_mini;

echo ' ' . $author->fullname;

echo '<span class="activity">' . $author->last_active . '</span>';

echo '</a>';

}

This way it’s tucked in a function that can be re-used in various other pages and ways.

I have the same problem. It seems to be a problem with the default theme:

1) Buddypress deactivated, using buddypress theme – issue

2) Buddypress activated, usibg P2 theme – no issue.

It will take you 3 months to do in Drupal what you could in 3 weeks in WPMU/BuddyPress. I’ve been there and am never looking back. If I do look back at my Drupal project I get shivers and I used to develop for Drupal, namely was part in creating the friendlist plugin (amongst others) if you are familiar with Drupal.

Forget about Joomla if you are worried about security holes, they are the worst of the pack.

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.
