BuddyPress.org

In theory you should be able to upgrade from RC1 to 1.0.3 without a problem. What truly matters is the integrity of your database. That being said, when I have not upgraded a WP site for a long time, I prefer to upgrade in several increments.

But if you follow this course, you should be okay (of course, there are no guarantees):

• backup your database–the most crucial step
• deactivate any BuddyPress-specific plugins in WPMU’s back end
• then deactivate BuddyPress itself
• delete the buddypress directory
• download BP version 1.0.3
• follow the instructions in BP’s readme.txt file
• reactivate BP sitewide

Then you will most likely have to change your theme files to get them to work.

If all goes terribly wrong, you can always redownload the old tagged version 1.0-RC1 of BP from here, restore your DB from your backup, and then reinstall and reactivate the old version.

Of course, before deleting your current version of BP, it is probably a good idea to back that up as well. That way, if something goes awry and you need to revert, you know you have the exact same files you used before.

Also, make sure that you have backup copies of your custom theme files as well.

A work in progress

Waiting patiently for buddypress 1.1 to come along…

We changed them on our site. Basically you go into the plugins/buddypress/bp-languages folder and get the BuddyPress.mo file. Then use a program called Poedit (you can search the web for this), and use it open the BuddyPress.mo file. You can then change the language in that program. When you save the file with a name, say TEMP and it will also save a TEMP.po file. Put that back into the bp-languages folder. Then add a new bp-custom.php file into your plugins folder and put this code in it:

define( ‘BPLANG’, ‘TEMP’ );

if ( file_exists( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ ) ) {

load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ );

}

Change the name TEMP in the above code to whatever you called the po file.

That should do it.

That is strange behavior. If BuddyPress installed properly, there should be at least one profile field called “Full Name” located in a field group called “Basic”.

Can you verify that the BuddyPress xprofile tables exist in your database’s backend? Have you checked the PHP and MySQL error logs to see if there is any useful information?

There should be 19 total BuddyPress tables in your MySQL DB–this does not include any WPMU tables. Out of those 19, four of them are for profile data. Each of the profile tables has the word “xprofile” in the table name.

As I read your post, you have an old forum you want “into” BuddyPress. BP or WordPress MU aren’t forums. BuddyPress’ forum components are provided by BBPress.

If you want to import things differently, you need to write your post in more detail and even then I doubt there’s any easy solution

Diego, just read your trac ticket and I think I understand what you’re saying now.

You’re saying that there’s no link to the comment author in your BP forum’s post.

You should definitely describe the issue in detail next time.

Disregard what I’ve written previously.

Re-download BP 1.0.3 and make sure your BP files match up, particularly your “bp-themes/bpmember” folder.

The testbp.org site is running on the latest developmental version of BuddyPress.

That isn’t ready for primetime yet; wait a couple of weeks for the release of BuddyPress 1.1 and you’ll get all the new features!

do you have define( 'BB_NONCE_KEY', ?

Anointed,

If you ever get these figured out:

“1. As most everything displayed by buddypress is via widgets, I may be able to duplicate the widgets and then write some custom filters to only output what the ‘subdomain blogs’ users have been up to.

e.g. filtering the activity stream to only show activity from the blogs users which is being displayed.

2. for those displays that are not widgets, like the members list/groups list/ etc…

That may take a bit more filtering.”

I will be a happy camper. I’d love to use BP for my class site, I think the students would really dig it and it brings collaboration into the classroom. I just want the students to see the stuff from the class site and other students portfolios/blogs and not the blogs/sites I host for other things at school.

Nope, it doesn’t work out of the box.

You could request it as an enhancement though.

Login with the same username and password as you use on buddypress.org.

take out cookiehash from bb-config.php just leave it in wp-config

You’ll need to edit this file:

/wp-content/bp-themes/v1/groups/group-menu.php

Get acquainted with BP loops!

Okay, your BuddyPress site is so far out of date that you have a lot of work ahead of you. Since you installed the pre-release version of BP, there have been five major upgrades.

Unfortunately, you upgraded WPMU before upgrading BP. It would have been better for you to get BP up to date before upgrading WPMU, but that is now water under the bridge.

To help you down this road, please read this specific post and all the links it contains:

As far as using your custom theme, you will have to look at the default theme files in BuddyPress 1.0.3 and see what needs to be changed. The theme files have gone through many revisions since RC-1 was released five (or more)months ago.

And, just to be proactive, a very-major rewrite of BuddyPress will be coming out in the next several weeks. BuddyPress version 1.1 uses an entirely different theme architecture. You can read about that here.

I don’t know what happened to my post, it became unreadable.

You need the hashes, cookie domains, cookie hashes, etc…

There are tons of posts on bbpress.org that you’ll be able to use.

Also, don’t forget about the integration plug-in. It will help you out.

I’ve gotten WordPressMU installed (2.8.4a) and bbPress (1.0.2) installed. When you create a group the forum is creating in bbPress. I can post a topic on the bbPress side and it’ll show up in BuddyPress. When I try creating a new topic or replying to a topic I get that dreaded – “There was an error posting that topic” message.

I’ve made sure I enabled XMLRPC and Pingbacks in bbPress and added that line to my bbPress config. I also use that XMLRPC testing plugin and it returns normal data so it can connect to bbPress via XMLRPC.

Are there any other troubleshooting steps I can take or any ideas of what I might be missing?
