Trunk update changes:

Yeah – I’m back… meh……

Has anyone installed bbpress 1.0 from scratch and got group discussions to work? After another 20 or 30 installs, I’ve decided that there’s gotta be something in alpha 6 that buddypress is looking for. Something that bbpress 1 doesn’t have. I say this because I can get all of this stuff to work together but ONLY if I upgrade from alpha 6. I don’t dare try the RC versions.

When doing the upgrade, the database is updated & gives the following info

Beginning upgrade…

>>> Modifying database: monday3 (localhost)

>>>>>> Table: bb_term_taxonomy

>>>>>>>>> Adding index: taxonomy

>>>>>>>>>>>> Done

Making plugin directory at C:\wamp\www\monday3\forums/my-plugins/: bb_upgrade_1110

Making theme directory at C:\wamp\www\monday3\forums/my-templates/: bb_upgrade_1120

Is it something in that update that does it or is there a specific file that’s left over from alpha 6 that has data that buddypress needs? It seems like if I delete the forum files & then upload the new version’s files, it still doesn’t work. But if I just rename the bb-config file & do an overwrite, the upgrade works fine.

Hi r-a-y,

Glad the filter is useful to you!

I think the answer to your question is yes, John Smith’s profile would come up in that kind of scenario. The links that are created in BP profiles are merely full-text searches on all BP profiles (this is the link behavior out of the box, and my filters do not change this). Even if the name “Smith” in John’s profile doesn’t link to http://[your-buddypress-url]/members/?s=Smith, that search URL will still be live and accessible from the regular BP search box.

I haven’t looked into the details, but it should be possible to build a plugin that limits search in different ways. You might, for instance, search all profile fields except those that have been tagged as non-searchable (last name, for example). Another strategy: you might only return a hit on (for example) “Smith” if the result appears between anchor tags; in this way, non-linked profile fields would automatically be excluded. The first kind of solution is probably the better one, and I imagine it will be quite easy once field-specific profile search comes along in BP 1.3 https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/

Update — Used localhost.localdomain when installing wpmu. I’m now running BuddyPress 1.0 & bbPress 1.0 Integration is perfect & group discussion is enabled.

As stated in my first post, whenever I go to BuddyPress 1.0.2, everything goes all stupid with group discussion. Automatic upgrade won’t work for me so am I just suppose to overwrite the buddypress folder with the new version? Thanks for all of your help!!

Thanks folks. I upgraded to latest BP and issue was solved

Hello everyone!

First of all, thank you for your responses. The problem is now solved. However, I don’t know how! I wrote to the web host describing the problem and to the best of my guess, they changed few PHP.INI settings [Don’t know how it got messed?]

The system did not have bbpress. I’ve upgraded buddypress to latest stable and everything seems to be working fine now.

To answer the questions :-

1. Are you running WPMU 2.7.1 or WordPress 2.8? You mention that you were running WPMU before. Did you upgrade to the beta version of WPMU 2.8 from trunk? Or, did you accidentally upgrade to WP 2.8? WPMU 2.8 is not yet in public release.

-> I did not upgrade accidently. In fact, one of the members reported that there was an error. The system was running fine with WPMU 2.7.1 and BP 1.0 (the first stable release) and then suddenly the error popped up.

2. What other plugins besides BP do you have activated? Have you tried removing them all except BP and see if you can get back to the plugins page?

-> I do not have any other plugin than BP.

3. Have you tried removing BP and then seeing if the plugins page returns? If it does, then deactivate all other plugins and reinstall BP. What happens?

-> No, I didn’t try that. I could not deactivate any plugins, because I couldn’t see the plugins in the admin panel!

From the overall experience, it looks like the issue was with me signing in as site-admin but ending up in blog admin panel (anyone knows why this happened?)

I think I’m one step closer now:

I verified, when I log in as a normal user, I don’t see wordpress version in the bottom of admin panel.

So in my current status, I’m NOT getting logged in as an administrator!

Can anyone tell me how do I login as an admin? {PS: I’m not a novice, and have performed admin functions many times. However, I think I’m forcefully being logged in as a non-admin even when I enter admin credentials}

Update:

I tried to edit a user from the admin panel – and I get message “You do not have permission to edit this user”.

Now, how can I be so sure that I’m logged in as site admin and not ‘blog’ admin?
