BuddyPress.org

I think the setup is different and, with all new things, will take some time getting used to. For those that prefer it the old way, I’m sure you can still have the traditional looking bbpress forums just as it is here on buddypress.org. The new change is adding a feature, not taking any away.

I agree that the setup is not ideal – users should be able to post new topics anytime and then chose where to post in. Like this it is far too complicated – I plan to run a help forum – so registration and posting of topics should be as easy as it gets.

But since BuddyPress uses the full bbpress files, it should be possible to do exactly that, using some of the basic kakumei files?

this is clearly a “show-stopper” !

I hope this issue will be fixed soon and messages will be able to be send to anybody on the platform (whether friend or no friend) with auto-complete-function.

the way to go is KISS: Keep It Simple & Stupid !

This Privacy Component sounds like a huge step forward. Eager to implement and test, as soon as I have time. Thanks Jeff Sayre.

Hi, I’m having a problem with the error:

‘Attention Site Admin: Group forums require the correct setup and configuration of a bbPress installation.’

I started with a new site on a subdomain, installed WordPress MU 2.8.1, then installed Buddypress 1.0.3. This worked no problem.

I then installed bbPress 1.0.1 and followed the steps above. Everything seemed to have gone fine, and the integrated logins worked across all areas of the site.

The only problem I’m having is the error above. It appears when I’m logged into Buddypress and try to create a new group. Despite this error, the group is created, but no forum is created for the group.

I have 1 user in the system, using the login details admin/password. Admin is set as the Key Master. I have tried using the suggested versions of the 3 pieces of software, as well as later versions, all with the same problem. I’ve completely run out of ideas. Any help you can give is hugely appreciated.

Thanks

I thought forums held all topics created by all groups. In other words, you had to join a group to post a topic, but you could read and reply to topics, no matter which groups you belonged.

However, I found if I created a sticky topic in group A I wanted everyone to read, it appeared only when I visited that group. I’ve created other topics that were available to everyone. If forums can’t be globally read, the main “Forums” tab should be removed to prevent a misunderstanding.

The other question, I guess, is has the BuddyPress team shelved plans to better integrate with the full-blown BBPress?

After considering the options, funneling the forums through groups makes a bit more sense – particularly since the current method *works* instead of the voodoo magic required to get a stand-alone bbpress and buddypress to communicate.

I’ve solved the problem by posting a ‘sticky’ forum note alerting members they need to join groups to take advantage of the forums. But it would be nice to have the ‘create new topic’ as an option.

If you don’t like the free support for the free software, then you can always pay someone to trouble shoot your issues for you on a schedule more suited to your needs.

The reason it wasn’t working before was because you originally activated the skeleton theme instead of the real members theme. Now that you’ve fixed that and have bpmember active, can you verify for me that the contents of your…

I think what we all really want to know is…

Will this plugin keep my thoughts private and protect them from the aliens?

this buddypress support sux…

One question……….

There must be a way to handling this situation. I have the same on my site.

And I think everybody has the same situation.

If you are a registered user and you click on this link:

https://buddypress.org/wp-admin

you will get to the wpmu Dashboard.

If you try to click somewhere, you will get to a 404.

But if you write a new article from the Quick Press, it is working…

if you use this url, you will see all posts from Andy and your own one.

https://buddypress.org/wp-admin/edit.php

I think the normal user couldn’t get to this place.

It’s is very confusing…

You should use the search-function in the forum before asking… We already solved this issue here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/two-questions-about-the-login-process#post-8380

That should work for you

You could use the following setup:

– Leave Atahualpa without modifications, or with subtle modifications like the code from Andy.

– Modify the bp-sn-parent style.css to make it a child of Atahualpa. Remove files present in Atahualpa from bp-sn-parent ( in particular header.php and footer.php, you decide if you want to remove single.php, index.php, etc ).

Now choose the bp-sn-parent as your theme. This should let you have a very basic integration of both themes.

Probably you will have problems with some pages, specially group pages. Applythe patch in this page to solve the problem: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/997

I’ll be writing up a “how-to” on using WordPress themes with BuddyPress very soon. What you have described is one way of doing it if the “template: bp-sn-parent” does not work.

To get the user menus you can add these lines to the bottom of your header.php:

<?php if ( !bp_is_blog_page() && !bp_is_directory() && !bp_is_register_page() && !bp_is_activation_page() ) : ?>

<?php locate_template( array( 'userbar.php' ), true ) ?>

<?php locate_template( array( 'optionsbar.php' ), true ) ?>

<?php endif; ?>

Such a dashboard would be a great landing-page for logged-in useres and much better than the actual profile-page! I would also like to see this as a future buddypress core feature. Any informationm about it, andy?

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your comment. Yes, I experience the same thing. I thought at first it was simply a ‘friends’ restriction but after successfully adding three auto completes, I checked and one of them is not listed as a friend.

My instinct is that only those who have written a message or are friends with someone appear in the autocomplete. This follows the Andy P. logic, albeit in a very strange manner, of members creating a footprint on buddypress.

So I throw that out to the assembled bp’ers here to give it a try. Most of us know who has or has not created a footprint. It’s not a login thing.

Cheers,

Brian

taking the hint from Jeff, I created a separate topic

Welcome Pack took me about a month (of weekends and occasional evenings).

Achievements took me about three months. That time includes learning WordPress/BuddyPress frameworks.

It depends: from 1 day to several weeks.

1 day (or even some hours) – just filtering something, slightly changing end results in the case filters are built in.

More time needed to create smth taht will help to filter.

Several weeks – new component creation. But BuddyPress 1.1 is needed.
