BuddyPress.org

Props to r-a-y and John James Jacoby (the latter of whom put up with my self-inflicted stupidity that made me … whinge)

My layout is pretty much what I want, and everything appears to be working, so it’s time to look at the non-essential, but gosh that’s weird problem.

If you go to my forums, the ‘BuddyPress’ link on the top left is vertically weirded. Which is the only way I can describe it. Should I just beat it into submission with css, and assume it’s a css conflict of names?

I used http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/04/30/integrating-buddypress-10-wpmu-and-bbpress/

But I do not know which versions U R intending to install & integrate.

Brian-

You should ask this question as well in the WPMU forums as it is the WPMU registration functions that allow usernames to be created with a space in them and it is the authentication functions (when a user logs in) that then has an issue with the space.

I do not know if this has already been addressed in a newer version of WPMU, but Andy is aware of this issue and I assume that he has communicated it to Donncha.

You are limited in what you can do, but deleting the username is not advisable.

You could manually edit each user account that has this issue. If you do so, you’ll of course first want to make sure you have a backup of your database. But, if you go this route, you’ll need to tell each of those affected users that you have changed their login credentials. Otherwise, they will not be able to log in.

As far as changing the display name, that will have no affect on the username. Those are two different pieces of data.

Since this relates to bbPress specifically, I would ask this question in the bbPress forum.

To have the topic title as the page tittle, the topic first post as the meta description and the tags as the keyword would be ideal and really boost the seo of the forum posts.

You should first focus on all the other things that have the greatest SEO impact (like creating quality content).

Since you cannot control the content of your forums–it is generated by all your users after all–I think the best SEO booster for bbPress was just implemented by Sam. See this link: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-forums-now-use-pretty-permalinks

Hey, I didn’t receive a spam message. I guess I’m just not popular. ;(

@socialpreneur-

The BuddyPress Privacy component will allow users the ability to decide who can send them PMs.

thanks Burt, just upgraded the forum and all these tricks are working now!

Now I have to integrate it with buddypress groups, I guess I will lose another hours/days as I can already see an error message “There was an error posting that topic.” when I try to submit new topic via bp

Thanks anyway for the hint in the wpmu/bbpress integration part.

Hi There

I have installed the buddypress bar for the forums . But i am not getting any link displaying, just the css, the actual buddypress menus are not there.

Click here for the forums

Click here for the wordpress install

We have used the deep integration and i have added the lines to my bb-config.php, the path to the file is correct.

I have added the two functions ie

add_action( 'bb_head', 'bp_core_add_js' );

add_action( 'bb_admin_head', 'bp_core_add_js');

You can ignore the “invite new member” link on the top right hand side, its just a div postioned as absolute.

I forgot to mention my installation details:

1) wpmu 2.7.1

2) buddypress 1.0

3) bbpress 0.9.0.4

Also, I think this might be very important thing. When I am loged in to forum as an forumadmin and I go in another tab to wp-admin page, I’ve got this message straight away on my screen: “Please log in again.”. Even before I type something………

[PANIC]

ok, here’s my first buddypress powered site ready to go public.

As you can see my theme was very much inspired but the buddypress website.

Hope you like.

Ok, I created a ticket: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/837

Fixing the username with a space in it – what are the options?

1. Delete the user and fix the username in the external database?

2. Change the settings in the site admin ‘users’ for the display name?

I ask because I have endured 4 system crashes and I am less than eager to recrash. Does the system remember the email addee if the user has been deleted, or is the entire user record wiped from the db tables?

Thanks everyone for your thoughts, in advance, and thanks to Jeff Sayre for directing me to this topic.

Can you post your full <ul id=”header”>?

I have a feeling something is messing up there.

—

Actually you know what?

Use the default header from the original bpmember theme… and see if you get any weird bugs.

<ul id="header">

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( 'home' ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php bp_home_blog_url() ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Blog', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>



<?php if ( function_exists( 'groups_install' ) ) { ?>

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_GROUPS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Groups', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>

<?php } ?>



<?php if ( function_exists( 'bp_blogs_install' ) ) { ?>

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_BLOGS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>><a href="<?php echo get_option('home') ?>/<?php echo BP_BLOGS_SLUG ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Blogs', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Blogs', 'buddypress' ) ?></a></li>

<?php } ?>



<?php do_action( 'bp_nav_items' ); ?>

</ul>

One other bug I encountered when using the BuddyBar was the second-level menus weren’t popping out in bbPress.

I found out that the problem is due to some CSS rules overriding one another.

In /plugins/buddypress/bp-core/css/admin-bar.css, move line 177 under

#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul ul, #wp-admin-bar li.sfhover ul li ul {

left: -999em !important;

}

So your admin-bar CSS from line 171 should look like:

/* third-and-above-level lists */



#wp-admin-bar ul li ul ul {

margin: -28px 0 0 183px !important;

}



#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li.sfhover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li ul li.sfhover ul { /* lists nested under hovered list items */

left: auto !important;

}



#wp-admin-bar ul li.align-right:hover ul {

right: 0 !important;

}



#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul ul, #wp-admin-bar li.sfhover ul li ul {

left: -999em !important;

}



#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li li:hover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li.sfhover ul, #wp-admin-bar ul li ul li.sfhover ul { /* lists nested under hovered list items */

left: auto !important;

}



... and the rest of it here

That was the case for me anyway! If you’re using a custom admin-bar CSS, make sure you make the change as well.

This may shed some light: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/when-logged-in-to-buddypressorg-some-links-do-not-work

I think I’ve got it.

Do you have the same functions.php in your “buddypress-home” theme?

This is the code that does the magic:

function bp_show_home_blog() {

global $bp, $query_string;



if ( $bp->current_component == BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG ) {

$pos = strpos( $query_string, 'pagename=' . BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG );



if ( $pos !== false )

$query_string = preg_replace( '/pagename=' . BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG . '/', '', $query_string );



query_posts($query_string);



if ( is_single() )

bp_core_load_template( 'single', true );

else if ( is_category() || is_search() || is_day() || is_month() || is_year() )

bp_core_load_template( 'archive', true );

else

bp_core_load_template( 'index', true );

}

}

add_action( 'wp', 'bp_show_home_blog', 2 );

Those are all WP plugins and not WPMU ones.

I would steer clear of them.

Wishlist claimed to me their plugin works with WPMU/Buddypress. Haven’t tried it yet, but I trust the MU/BP developers did not break the basic registration process.

Also MU/BP is obviously a big potential market for these plugins, so you can kinda expect they make sure they work.

Okay I think I can safely say it’s a BP theme issue.

You need to make sure your code is exactly the same as the default wp-content/themes/bphome/comments.php (or wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bphome/comments.php)

Try that.
