BuddyPress.org

I got the same error after trying to automatically upgrade from BuddyPress 1.0.1 to 1.0.3 through the plugin page.

It looks like I was still only running WP MU 2.7.1

Wouldn’t it be smart (in the automatic BuddyPress upgrade) to check to see if the WP MU version is compatible with the version of BuddyPress that is about to be installed before the automatic process is started? Just an idea

http://graduatebuddy.com/ uses WordPress MU 2.8.2, BuddyPress 1.0.3, bbPress 1.0

comment system needs to be improved, had to go to 9th page to post this comment, there should be a link somewhere of the top of first page, and the from should be at the bottom of every page intensedebate if could be made compatible would be a great plus

now the BuddyPress install:

http://graduatebuddy.com/

it uses a wordpress MU 2.8.2 , BuddyPress 1.0.3, bbPress 1.0

Same error too. I re-enable it manually, going to the wp-content/plugins/buddypress/pb-forums.php and set 1 on the second line. Now it´s running.

My problem now is to make the option “forum” appears on the main menu.

The skeleton component is not a plugin. It is a template of files from which you can create your own, custom plugin.

So, you do need to not only have PHP-coding skills, but also a sufficient understanding of the inner workings of BuddyPress.

Hi!

I also have the same problem as him. I just upgraded my installation to wpmu 2.8 and buddypress 1.03 and when I go to myurl.com/members I dont see the lsit of members. When I click on it when not logged in, I get a blank profile page, that says “not recently active”. By the way I installed the default buddypress member theme and this still happens.

So what have we done wrong??

I really hope someone here could help us.

Thanks

The Skeleton Component is just that–a generic, bare-bones plugin template that you can use to create your own, custom BuddyPress plugin.

But the only things that this plugin do is to put in profil EXAMPLE..

Did you read the in-line documentation? At the top of bp-example.php it reads:

--- SKELETON COMPONENT V1.2.2 ---

This is a bare-bones component that should provide a good starting block to

building your own custom BuddyPress component.



It includes some of the functions that will make it easy to get your component

registering activity stream items, posting notifications, setting up widgets, adding

AJAX functionality and also structuring your component in a standardized way.



It is by no means the letter of the law. You can go about writing your component in

any style you like, that's one of the best (and worst!) features of a PHP based platform.



I would recommend reading some of the comments littered throughout, as they will

provide insight into how things tick within BuddyPress.



You should replace all references to the word 'example' with something more suitable

for your component.



IMPORTANT: DO NOT configure your component so that it has to run in the

/plugins/buddypress/ directory. If you do this, whenever the user auto-upgrades

BuddyPress - your custom component will be deleted automatically. Design

your component to run in the /wp-content/plugins/ directory

I know it’s a tad tricky to answer but there must be a rule of thumb somewhere?

There is no rule of thumb that I know of. There are too many variables to say with certainty that a WPMU + BP install needs “X MB” of DB space. It depends on the number of users, the activity level of each user, the overall site activity, whether you give them each a blog (or more), and what plugins you have installed and activated.

But, I suspect that having a DB size limit of 150 MB is a stretch just on a low-trafficked WPMU site. Add in BuddyPress and 100 active users, and you’ll quickly shoot through that limit.

As an example, on one of my WPMU + BP test platforms, I have 5 users and only two MU blogs with very few test blog posts. Since it is a test install only used by myself, it has very little activity thus very little data written to the DB.

The DB size of that simple setup is 1.8 MB. Imagine an active site with many blogs and 100 users. Your host’s DB limit of 150 MB would be quickly reached.

You need to ask that question on the Premium WPMU site. It is a 3rd-party project not supported by Automattic.

If you want a free multiple database engine, you can use HyperDB. This site runs on HyperDB. WordPress.com runs a highly-modified version of HyperDB.

Here are a series of articles written by Trent Adams, one of the BuddyPress moderators, that detail how to configure HyperDB:

This will do photos on your profile. No video. And not in groups I don’t think. But I imagine in time there will be a lot of solutions out there. BP is really new.

Not sure what you mean by a magazine style front page… but there’s a widget to show a list of latest blog entries.

Same here. I pulled everything from the subversion trunks:

WPMU:

– Checked out revision 1908.

BuddyPress:

– Checked out external at revision 148. (that would be bbPress I guess)

– Checked out revision 279.

– Checked out revision 2316.

– Checked out revision 1629.

But I didn’t get a bb-config.php file in the root of my WPMU installation as expected (had set the root to chmod 777 before activating the BB Forums in BuddyPress).

In Component Setup of BuddyPress, bbPress Forums are enabled. When I go to Forums Setup it says “bbPress forum integration in BuddyPress has been set up correctly. If you are having problems you can re-install”, but it ends there, just like Mariusooms reported.

This is a local install on Mac OS X in /Library/Webserver/Documents. All the other stuff related to WPMU and BuddyPress works flawlessly (Thanks guys for such a easy setup procedure).

Would appreciate someone telling us what I’m missing.

I’m not aware of anyone running BuddyPress in a multi-DB config.

If you can dig up a post from Andy Peatling about this, we could add it to the FAQ thread and/or make a sticky.

There should be a sticky with the topic title – “This forum theme and the BuddyPress theme used on this site will not be made available!”.

But I bet even if such a sticky was made, there still would be the occasional person that will ask anyway!

Shortly after pigs start to fly. It’s not going to look like the member theme on this site, as Andy Peatling has developed this one specifically to brand buddypress.org and doesn’t want every default BP installation to look like it.

This question seems to be asked at least once a week.

I have this one on my plugin list and I have it activated sitewide but when I go to the ‘Invite Friends’ page and check one of the services it comes up without a username/email or password box? I am using version 0.8 of this plugin and Buddypress 1.0.3 and WordPress MU 2.8.2

I managed to fix it using this thread and advice from the venerable Trent.
