BuddyPress.org

HEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp me toooo.. i’ve just install BP 1.0.2 with wpmu 2.71.. when upgrade to wpmu 2.8 the problem stays.. so i guess it’s the BP, installed with Nginx.

BTW in install instruction =>

Head back to the plugins admin panel. You will need to activate the BuddyPress plugin by clicking the Activate Site Wide or Activate link (both will work).

i don’t see Activate Site Wide.. is it using a plugin or something with wpmu? cos the Bp admin bar is only on the main blog.. not on other blog i have. is it normal ? or should i put the BP in the mu-plugins folder?

excellent. installed and worked out of the box. thanks!

Since nobody has figured this out yet, I was wondering, maybe there might be a different way. Such as when people signup, it automatically logs them in upon signup. Then while it automatically logs them in, it leads them to the change the password/profile page.

Although, it would be great to see buddypress profile section to actually have the option to change passwords, as right now we have no other choice but to edit the passwords in the wp profile area.

Hopefully, somebody will get this figured out, as it is a horrible idea to send out e-mails in this manner, because most of the time the e-mail could get lost or placed into the spam areas or the e-mails can become delayed and users never check for it, or they just don’t bother to login because they are concerned that they may not have the option to change their passwords so readily.

Time will tell. But, there needs to be a way to automatically log people in upon them creating their own account, then they can change their passwords as they like. Otherwise, if they don’t change their password right there upon auto login, they will still be e-mailed the password that the website created for them by default.

It’s probably possible to extend Nicola’s BP-TinyMCE plugin to add a filter for profile fields as well… you’d have to bug Nicola about that.

Here’s a post which explains how someone added a filter to profile fields:

I might write a filter as well regarding this… we’ll see.

There is a forums user looking for help in Turkish. Perhaps you could take a look at this thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3433

Oh yes, that’s what I meant. In alpha 2, the group categories and tags were displayed on the right side of the main group page. So if one of members click on the main group nav tab, they would see the group categories and tags. The same was true for the main members page.

Thanks so much for considering that.

Hi Burt,

Thank you for the explanation. I understand the logic.

Is there a way to restore the your list of group categories and group tags to display in the right column of the group section, and the same for the member page? The reason I ask is to help our members who are not as social network savvy and may not understand tags. If they just look on the right side, it may be easier for them to make the connection.

Thanks again.

Brian

Hi Burt,

Uploaded and installed bpc 1.0 no problem. Couple of questions:

I see the parent and child category features. Great! Why the option to click both, versus just one or the other? Just curious. Explanation: parent category is ‘COUNTRIES’ and child is ‘United States.’ I can select ‘United States’ without selecting ‘COUNTRIES.’

After adding the two categories described here to a group, I clicked on the just categorized group. The group profile shows tags but no categories. An ommission or a decision?

Thanks for your hard work.

Hi Burt,

I’m assuming that you upgraded from 1.0 alpha 6.

Did you remove the “cookie” lines from wp-config.php before you activated the bbPress integration plugin in WPMU?

And re: #3, Are you sure don’t need to activate the BuddyPress Support plugin in bbPress?

I’ll give this a shot soon. Just wanted to get some detailed instructions before I do so!

Same thing here. I was not able to create avatar and got the same message. However, once I skipped ‘avatar’ section and finished creating group I was able to create avatar from inside group admin.

I’m running latest versions of WPMU and BuddyPress. I have a lot of plugins for MU but I didn’t include any extra BP plugins.

Larsg, the buddypress plugin can be found in

wp-content>>plugins>>buddypress>>bp-forums>>bbpress-plugins

It needs to be moved but the location depends on your version of bbpress. Assuming you renamed bbpress to forums, you have 2 options:

forums>>my-plugins>>buddypress-enable.php

forums>>bb-plugins>>buddypress-enable.php

If 1 location doesn’t work & you try it in a 2nd location, remember to MOVE it. Having it in more than 1 location can make the wrong file be activated. Also, if you move it, you will have to reactivate it.

I have a couple of questions because I still can’t get my discussion to activate in groups. Integration is fine, but that dang “you must configure forums” warning won’t go away no matter what combination of codes & plugins I use.

1. “Upgrade to bbpress 1.0”

Upgrade from what? I’ve never been able to get an RC version to work so I’m running alpha 6.

2. By upgrade, do you mean install the new version or should I find an upgrade button somewhere? (not seeing one on alpha 6)

3. Buddypress enable plugin (from buddpress>>bp-forums)

Where did you put this? In my-plugins or bb-plugins or nowhere?

4. “Go into bbpress admin and the wordpress integration settings. Fill out the forms properly”

Anytime I EVER EVER (haha) try to change stuff in there, it totally boots me out of all of the bbpress logins. No login name/pw will work.

That’s it for now but I’ll probably be back with more questions.

**Edit — #5 (told ya I’d be back) Did you put the “allow user switching” code at the bottom of the bb-config?

Thanks

Hi –

Just upgraded to Firefox 3.5 this morning and yes, total panic city because I am using the Facebuddy theme. It is a total mess. Kind of like Harry Potter on the Night Bus squeezing through traffic in London. When I changed the themes to the default theme, it all went back to normal, and if I just tried IE 7.0 with the Facebuddy theme, all is as expected.

So I agree that this is a FF 3.5 issue. Not sure if I concur that Firefox will find and fix the bug immediately.

Burt,

I found a bug in the 1.0 alpha 2 and I was curious if the other members have experienced the same issue, and also if you resolved the issue with the 1.0 release.

Problem:

click on Members Directory

click on a letter for a member listing, say ‘M’ and it shows 21 listings. Okay, first 10 members are displayed. If you click on page 2, it goes to a weird submenu that leads to a blank page.

Here is the weird behaviour –

a new page loads with the following url and it’s blank:

http://www.xxyy.info/OurSocial/OurSocial/wp-load.php?upage=2

Resolution:

deactivate the bpc plugin, return to Members Directory

follow same member listing search for category ‘M’

click on page 2

all is fine – works as expected.

The links for pages 2 and 3 show the same links as listed above, but when you click on them, the main page stays the same,

http://www.xxyy.info/OurSocial/members

and only the Member Listing changes

Using:

wpmu 2.7.1 and the new bp 1.0.2

Also, an other question: if we upgrade automatically to bpc 1.0, what about the existing db created tables? Will they be in conflict or will the plugin just create a new table? I ask this because I read the ‘details’ of the upgrade and it says the new plugin creates one new table in the db

Thanks so much for your hard work.

Hi, “Turns out I forgot to enable the buddypress plugin in the BBPress admin area.”

What is this? Where can I do this? Is there a BBpress plugin that I have to install? Pls provide URLs.

I get the “There was an error posting that topic.” and wonder if this may be the reason (if I missed activating something in BBpress).

The Post Haste WP plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/posthaste/ could replicate some of the functionality of P2, and it has the advantage of theme portability.

It took me weeks to find it, but I think it’s pretty great, especially for buddypress themes.
