…eh?

I was responding to your fellow moderator’s post – “So far so good here, at least with the latest trunk version. I imagine BP1.0.3 will react the same as it did to 2.8.2. “

It’s not exactly like I’ve suddenly started talking about the trunk version when everyone else is talking about the 1.0.3 branch or something…

If I was asking for support with it I would of course posted a new thread rather than derailing this one.

No, this thread is not for discusion about getting WPMU 2.8.x to work with BP trunk. start a new thread if you want to talk about that.

I’ve just tried the latest trunk (as of about 10 mins ago) with 2.8.4a and not had a huge amount of luck. I have managed to get it semi-working, but it’s incredibly buggy. Could well be user error though – will try the process again

Hi!

I’m altering the bp-member-theme to go along with P2. But these two components lay inside of a theme I’ve made with artisteer. There’s a lot of hacking code to make it all work but I’m beginning to like the result.

The reason I’m editing bpmember is that I want horizontal navigation and not vertical. This has been quite easy to edit but has taken me some time. I’ve had no experience with BP before and just a little with WP.

I’ve written about putting P2 in another theme before. You can find it here:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/294161

Anyway.. Editing P2 is way simpler than editing the whole of bphome/bpmember. It all depends on how much you want integreated in one “seamless look”.

Best of luck!

This iteration of the site (with the addition of BuddyPress) is a week-and-a-half old and our members are already putting the BP functionality through the paces.

I got the fatal error after deactivating the BP plugin and reactivating it. You have you delete the the BP plugin and themes and/or other files you moved out of the BP folder. (example BBpress-plugin and bphome theme) After all that fresh install.

No idea what’s happening, but my advice would be to disable all plugins, check and recheck the existence of all of the BuddyPress files in their correct locations, and try again?

So far so good here, at least with the latest trunk version. I imagine BP1.0.3 will react the same as it did to 2.8.2.

You need to have the WordPress language files in wp-contents/languages first, before WordPress will give you the option of changing the site and blog languages to something other than default. Once you have the files there, set your Site Language in Site-Admin->Options, then set your blog language in Settings->General.

Basically BuddyPress will follow whatever WordPress MU is set to do, but it cannot tell it what to do (yet).

WordPressMU has a specific way of handling language settings that involves a function that overrides the typical get_locale().

I had the same problem. I also refused to use a version that is non stable.

I read everything over and over. Mostly everything point to three major “integration” blogs.

I almost gave up until I was looking at my FTP and noticed the read “installation-readme.txt” in the bp-forums folder in BuddyPress plugin.

This line—-> Also check the “Enable Pingbacks” option just below.

That’s the only thing that wasn’t in the instructions. I enable in both WPMU and BBPress and it worked!

Setup: WPMU 2.8.3 + BuddyPress 1.0.3 + bbPress 1.0.2 + Almost ALL Plugins!

Feedback is welcome!

So you are using a custom member theme that used to work but recently stopped working.

Did you discover that your custom theme stopped working after you upgraded BuddyPress? If so, you are missing some new functionality in your theme. In other words, your custom theme is out of date.

Switch to the default BP member theme and see if that works. If so, then you have three choices:

1. Copy the functions.php file from the new default member theme into your custom theme. If that does the trick, problem solved.

2. If that does not work, then the next option is to search through BuddyPress trac for all theme changes to the member theme since the last version. Make any necessary changes to your custom member theme.

3. As an alternative to 2 above, you could simply compare the code in the default BP member theme with your custom member theme.

Also, if you built your custom member theme from the default BP member theme, make sure that you have all the necessary CSS files for your custom theme.

I think the latest test version is here, but apparently Buddypress 1.1 will be released next week, so it may not be worth the hassle to install the test version.

Something very weird is happening. Last week, I posted that I had finally launched:

http://workathomesafari.com.

It’s still the basic theme, but I’m starting to develop an idea of how I want it to look.

Anyway, when I’m logged in, I can see the post. But when I log out, the post disappears. Any ideas on what is happening?

DJPaul, I tried out the code you posted in the link above on my dev setup.

I just renamed the file to example_achievements.php (from phps), and uploaded to muplugins to see what it does. When I try to log into wp-admin, it shows me all the code from the file I just uploaded as well as the following error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/kunal17/public_html/jainkunal/wordpressmu/wp-content/mu-plugins/example_achievements.php:1) in /home/kunal17/public_html/jainkunal/wordpressmu/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-signup.php on line 5

I am running WPMU2.8.2, BP1.0.3

Possibly. There may be something else in the database with regards to the path. I wouldn’t recommend moving an installation, I’d personally always reinstall it.

Are you using any custom slugs and when you try to register, is there anything in your web server log? Also please see https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/when-asking-for-support

Yup,

WPMU 2.8.3 + Buddypress 1.03 work tremendously on my website http://www.jazz.or.id.

Thanks a lot.

Gigya Socialize worked for my install… I’ve only tried myspace, facebook and twitter – but it authenticated me correctly and I was able to login to BuddyPress. Only issue I’m having is that each time you login with one of your social usernames, it creates a new username in WPMU/BuddyPress, as opposed to all tying to your one WPMU/BuddyPress account. This created havoc for me, since I want to use groups, and other permissions.

At this point, I’m leaning towards limiting to just the Facebook login. Does anyone know if there is a way to hide/not allow login using the actual wordpress login, and ONLY use the login for Gigya Socialize? I/e allow users to go to wp-admin, but not give them the option to login using the user/pass – only letting them see the Gigya Socialize plugin.

I’m working on replies here. Thank you very much for the positive response so far

Screenshots: I haven’t got any, but look at my achievements profile on my BuddyPress site at http://dangerous-minds.org/members/djpaul/achievements/.

So, what changed? Did you change server, database, BuddyPress version?

Would be amazing to see FB connect just built into Buddypress. Would help communities starting out with BP to establish users. Would also help get more people downloading and implementing BP due to the popularity of FB.

If it just worked on the standard install of BP then it would appeal to a huge audience and issues like this wouldn’t be much of a question.

How do you handle fullname/real name in these school community sites:

1. students can just fill in whatever they like in the standard BP fullname field?

2. or did you add code to check for a two-part name?

3. or do you have code that synchronizes the firstname and lastname fields in wp_usermeta with the fullname field in BP xprofile?

4. did you create a custom xprofile field for lastname and use fullname for first name?

I still haven’t figured out what the best solution is…

Also how do you keep track of members when the admin areas use the usernames? Did you find a way to synchronize usernames with fullnames? What about blognames/urls?

Chris Kenniburg, is your Set Privacy plugin available somewhere? Is it a regular WP(MU) plugin?

Privacy controls are in the development roadmap, I think for version 1.3, release date tbd.

Until then you could use this code, but it doesn’t have a working ‘restricted area’ message with ajax or redirect, so you’ll have to code something yourself if you want to use it.

In this thread Chris Kenniburg mentions a Set Privacy Settings plugin.

Wickedbob,

Look at Community Blogs for BuddyPress (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-community-blogs). You can turn a normal blog into a Community Blog or a Group Blog.
