Cheers,

Are you using the default theme that comes with BuddyPress or a custom theme (3rd-party theme)?

I’m using wpmu 2.8.4a with the latest trunk (r1757) on my local machine.

When i’m trying to activate the forum on some group i get the following error message:

Warning: require_once(/home/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-includes/class.bb-query.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress.php on line 25

However Forums Setup on the dahsboar says:

bbPress forum integration in BuddyPress has been set up correctly. If you are having problems you can re-install

I tried to re-install, but still get the same error. Any suggestions? Is this normal with the latest trunk?

Thanks!

Okay, we have a couple pieces of information, but need more. Please answer the questions here.

@Korhan

We all know bp 1.1 is coming out sometime this month, what is the best estimate for bp 1.2?

We do not have any estimated dates for official BuddyPress verison releases. But, just guessing, I would say that BP v1.2 will come out sometime between mid October and Late December of this year.

“”I’m currently finishing the BuddyPress Privacy Component. A private alpha test will be out within a week. It gives users the ability to set fine-grained privacy control (viewing rights) over all their data. “”

That’s excellent news. Looking forward to it.

What you need to do depends on what name is in question. Is it the member’s first, last, or nick name? Is it their full name which is displayed in the profile pane of BuddyPress? The data for those names are stored in two different places.

Also I editted his name from admin dashboard, but the name does not change? Is this a bug?

Since usernames (login names) cannot be changed, you must have tried changing either the first, last, or nick name. Did the questionable name even appear in any of those fields? Did you also select the newly-changed name in the “Display name publicly as” drop down list?

But, based on what you are saying here, I assume that the questionable name is the member’s BuddyPress full name. This can only be changed in the profile pane by the user. Currently the only recourse a Site Admin has is to go into MySQL’s backend and find the questionable field in the wp_bp_xprofile_data table.

Make sure that whatever changes you made to the user’s name in WPMU’s backend, you make in this table as well.

Just to give you a little more background into what is happening:

• When a user updates (changes) their name in the Full Name field in the BuddyPress profile pane, the changes do propagate throughout the MySQL DB. The datum in the following tables are properly updated: wp_bp_xprofile_data, wp_users, and wp_usermeta
• But, if you make changes to a user’s nickname field in WPMU’s backend, the changes are written to wp_usermeta only for that field. The changes are not written to the wp_bp_xprofile_data or wp_users table. You can have the changes written to the wp_users table if you select the proper value from the “Display name publicly as” drop down list. But, they are never written to the corresponding BuddyPress table.
• Finally, and this is even more confusing, changes to the nickname field are not written to the first name or last name meta values in the wp_usermeta table. Conversly, if you change the first name and/or last name fields, they are not combined and also written to the nickname field in wp_usermeta

So, there could be improvements in the way WPMU handles user name changes. But, it is a WPMU issue since changes at the Site Admin level in the backend are controlled by WPMU and not BuddyPress.

There is a bug in the deep integration script

if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) & !defined( ‘XMLRPC_REQUEST’ )) {

define( ‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false );

include_once( ‘/your/absolute/path/to/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’ );

header( “HTTP/1.1 200 OK” );

header( “Status: 200 All rosy” );

It looks like everything is working fine, but a user from the german buddypress forum ( mt ) find out, that wordpress overwrites the buddypress header and so there comes header 200 back and often it is a 302 or even a 404.

this is the new script from mt.

if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) & !defined( ‘XMLRPC_REQUEST’ )) {

define( ‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false );

include_once( ‘/your/absolute/path/to/wordpress/wp-config.php’ );

$wp->init();

$wp->register_globals();

I post it hire because I think it must be interesting for everyone. In fact it is really important for seo and the german forum is far away from hire…

Hello Eco Living is a brand new site focused on Eco / Green / Sustainable living.

With a magazine, social network, and blog platform (all WP / BuddyPress powered of course).

The site officially launches this month, initially with a UK focus.

We developed the site with a lot of love; there are finishing touches on the graphics (best viewed on a Mac at the moment) that we are really proud of.

The client has the site out in Beta at the moment… please let us have your thoughts.

You just use this very light plugin, http://www.matteoionescu.com/wordpress/embed-html/ or https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-fields-shortcode/ . I have used the latter.

It makes use of the custom field in embedding videos.

Finally put it online. Will remain a work in progress:

Hi Jeff,

Will the privacy component be backward compatible with other BP releases (1.0.2 and 1.0.3)?

Or does it use core features that aren’t in those releases? I’m guessing it isn’t since there was a ticket by you asking for some changes to the BP core.

Also I wrote a message on your wire about the privacy component a while back, not sure if you received it:

https://buddypress.org/developers/jeffsayre/

@Erich73

No, the privacy component will not be included in v1.1. It is on the roadmap to be a core feature of v1.2.

But, first, we need to do some private alpha testing. Then some non-private beta testing–meaning available to all. Once all the kinks are worked out of it, Andy will evaluate it and decide if it meets the criteria to be merged into the BuddyPress codebase as a core component.

Will there also be a feature like “hiding my activities” ?

The privacy component will offer a user a full suite of privacy control options for:

• profile privacy filtering at the field level
• privacy filtering activity stream by action
• privacy filtering friends list and hiding the “Add Friend” button
• privacy filtering the groups list
• deciding who can instant message you
• privacy filtering for blogs
• privacy filtering wire posts and deciding who can post on your wire

There are also features for Site Admins that allow them to determine which privacy components are enabled (by default, all are enabled).

Quoted by Jomark “

I was able to find a work around for this by using custom fields since it does not strip the codes. I have it working on my web tv-social networking site that mostly uses embedded videos, http://piyesta.com/sadyatv.”

Would you mind sharing your tips and tricks on how you did this. I have tried uploading the above plugins and have tried adding the allowed tags, nothing seems to work properly. The embed videos are not embedding. I like what you have on your site.. How did you create a new custom field and implemented in to the default theme? Thanks!

Hi guys,

I’m experiencing this problem as well. Is it possible to update the username in the DB and either remove the space or add and underscore? I have about 40 of these to deal with and I could simply email those use their new username.

Just wanted to check if that is a possible solution.

Thanks.

@pxlgirl

That’s the problem with following a thread that was started more than 2 months ago! There have been many, many changes to BuddyPress’ codebase since that time.

One of those changes is that BP now runs in /plugins/ and not /mu-plugins/. Move your bp-custom.php file into /plugins/ and see what happens.

I’m currently finishing the BuddyPress Privacy Component. A private alpha test will be out within a week. It gives users the ability to set fine-grained privacy control (viewing rights) over all their data.

Hi,

I get this error msg after setting up bp-custom.php and editing the register.php:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /blah/wordpress-mu/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-custom.php:1) in /blah/wordpress-mu/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-signup.php on line 5

What went wrong here?

pxlgirl.

Profile visibility is discussed many times, and there’re even profile plugin and bp-custom hacks to keep privacy. Do search the topics.

User registrations… this is not really a buddypress thing. WordPress is lacking user management function, and I understand your frustration. However using plugins you can force users to answer certain question, otherwise user is not registered.
