BuddyPress.org

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.

This?

Firebug is an excellent tool to find where you can change things. If you get Firefox and install Firebug (addon) you’ll get tons of work done. With it you can just point at things in the browser and it will tell you the current CSS that’s governing it. You can even add temporary CSS with Firebug to test things out.

The next step is to modify the CSS-changes in some file that you’re using. How proficient are you with that?

Look at:

The last line of style.css is: /* @import url( _inc/css/custom.css ); */. Remove the starting /* and the ending */ on that line. Save the file.

In custom.css you can make the changes you want to add. If you’re not proficient with CSS you have to read up on that.

@tonyaccardo – We have spent the past 5 or 6 months now working on a new vb/wpmu/bp system and it’s getting close to completion. I have no plans of releasing the software, but I can give you a little insight into why no-one has responded to your request.

Bottom line:

It’s a HUGE job. It has taken the coders hundreds of hours of work to complete the project. The amount of code is actually rivaling the core of bp itself. You REALLY have to have a specific reason for wanting to take on wpmu-bp-vb.

What we’ve built:

Well I also run a number of very large vb communities, and while vb has ‘blogs’ they suck, and many members asked to have blogs and social networking. The ‘easiest’ solution would have been to simply dump vb for bbpress, and migrate all of the data over to bbpress.

However bbpress is nowhere near what vb is, not even close. Yeah it’s nice code, but vb has years and years of development behind it and bbpress is just beginning. So for us dumping vb was not an option.

So we needed a real plan and decided to bridge the programs together, but the bridge is the smallest part of the equation. Not only did I want one registration/session setting for the users, I also wanted auto vb forum creation upon group creation within bp. I also wanted automatic vb forum creation upon new blog creation within wpmu.

Simply put, if you signup and create a blog, a new vb forum is created behind the scenes that belongs to that blog. The same thing goes if you create a group within bp.

Well that’s all and good, but as vb is commercial software, there is no way I wanted to have to install new copies of vb for each blog. I wanted to run only one copy of vb, just like bbpress does. That is where the HUGE amount of work came into play.

Not only did I want each blog to have their own vb forum, but we also had to deal with member roles and forum creation. So we built the system so that ‘technically’ each blog is able to manage every single aspect of vb from styles, to membership, to permissions, heck you name it. As far as the blog owner is concerned, they are running their own full blown copy of vb, fully integrated.

There are many other things to consider as well. Many of the function names within the programs are the same, so you can’t just call functions from bp within vb. Even including things as simple as your wordpress header within a vb template took a bit of work. You see, wordpress header navigation is dynamic, add a page/category, and you have a new link. Obviously you do not want to have to manually change your header in vb to match wp everytime a navigation button is added, so you have to automate that part. Well the function names are the same in both, so now you have to create your own header nav functions so it stays dynamic. Not hard but still more work.

If all you are after is bridging wp/vb together, there is a basic bridge script you can use from vb.org. It does not work with wpmu, but can be modded to work. We started out with this route and after making the changes it worked perfectly.

However, it is designed to use vb for reg/sessions, and this caused some major issues that we had not thought of in the beginning. Think about hosting ‘paid’ blogs on your network, and telling them that their members have to go to another site forum to register, yeah that went over real well. LOL.

So that is where we are at now. We are rewriting the bridge code to use wpmu reg/sess so that users signup on whatever wpmu blog they come across and they are registered into the entire system (even having the ability for a visitor to signup directly from a sub-blog in wpmu took a bit of custom code which is done). I expect the coders to have this part finished shortly.

Once that code is finished then we begin work on bringing in the vb posts into the wire and activity streams of bp. There seems to be little to no documentation on doing this within bp so I can imagine it’s gonna be an interesting project.

We will then begin work on filtering out the pm system within bp and replacing it with the pm system from vb. (I’d rather use bp pm system, but it’s a kiddy toy compared to vb right now, and I don’t care to wait years for bp to catch up).

We are not touching the core code of either wp, bp, or vb so future upgrades are not going to be a problem. That is another thing you have to really consider.

Bottom line is, it was a massive job that took months of work, but we’ve mu’d vbulletin and should have the perfect deep integration replacement for bbpress shortly.

I hope now you can see why you are not getting any responses. Even in it’s ‘simplest’ form, what you are asking is going to take someone hundreds of hours to build, and that’s only if your coders know vb/wpmu/bp code inside and out.

anyhow, hope it helps.

This error, as related to Group Forum Subscription, is discussed here:

http://dev.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2009/10/01/new-buddypress-bbpress-plugin-group-forum-subscription/

No resolution as of yet. Boone can’t replicate the error but is aware.

That’s a very broad question.

The thing is…. it’s really quite new to all of us. It’s a new feature and haven’t been tested that extensively. There are no step 1, step 2, step 3 guides. I’m sitting and integrating the P2-theme with Buddypress and it’s a lot of work. I’m new to this and slow but if you start to read the code and try to understand it it’s quite possible to make it bend in the manner you want.

BuddyPress needs WordPress MU to run. You are trying to install it on regular WordPress.

somebody is working on a plug-in like this, as per Andy´s information (see link below).

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/feature-request-members-near-you

Not sure about who this “confidential” developer is

Did you do this step?

“You can try including the components.css file from the BuddyPress parent theme to add layout styles to BuddyPress pages. Open up your WordPress theme’s style.css file. Add the following line below the comment header:

@import url( ../bp-sn-parent/_inc/css/components.css ) “

From the guide:

That will get you a bit further to styling perfection. The rest is up to you. I’m sitting and styling my website right now. Lots of fun and frustration.

Plugin works fine. But a “little” bug occurs on SWA.

Any activity string coming from the plugin and showing in side wide activity could be deleted by visitors or non logged-in users.

The “delete” button is only viewable by roll-over, it takes me a few day to see this bug.

I read the Warning wrong on upgrading to 1.1.1 from 1.1

I deactivated buddypress and things went totally blank. The site was working fine til I messed up.

Now I have a blank space at http://whittierschool.org

My host support says the problem is not having a php file in place

There is only one error in the errorlog for your website.

[Sat Oct 10 10:51:21 2009] [error] [client 194.8.75.159] PHP Fatal error:

Which means that this file that should be located in:

Please find it and reupload it.

Any help would be great! Otherwise I will have a couple of angry teachers after me on this.

There’s an answer.

Are you asking how to use parent and child themes in 1.1? The readme is very clear on this but simply place both themes (parent and child) in wp-content/themes/. Activate the child… not the parent. The themes can be found in bp-themes in the BuddyPress download. Just move the contents of that folder (the parent and child theme) to wp-content/themes.
