BuddyPress.org

sounds interesting, I’m using RPX for twitter, facebook, openid logins for my site, but it doesn’t support required form entries when registering an account.

Getting the same error on new signups.

I have registrations disabled. Bunches of warnings like that right after some cracking attempt to run a php file that doesn’t exist on my system. Not all of the warnings are attempts to run files such as ‘approved_checks.php’ though some are after msgs like this:

Sat Jun 20 23:09:13 2009] [error] [client 66.249.71.195] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use ‘LimitInternalRecursion’ to increase the limit if necessary. Use ‘LogLevel debug’ to get a backtrace.

It is always right after one or the other though.

Thanks for the reply.

One question about your word of caution: if a newer version of Buddypress is released, and I upgraded to that version, would the current 10a21 not be compatible? The reason I ask that is really a lead in to a more specific question: could I, as the site admin, upload a newer version of bpcontents and then reassign a newly recreated set of categories and tags to our existing groups, or would that have to be done by the those who are the group administrators and who originally created the groups?

Thank you so much for the time and effort you put in to developing and improving Buddypress.

Kunal17: a plugin for this would be very handy.

This hasn’t been reported by others. There have been a couple of ‘The bp themes are missing and it’s showing /themes in the bp backend instead of /bp-themes.’

Reinstall of wpmu/bp seems to solve the issue. Haven’t been able to track it down.

I just recovered from a bad spam incident on my buddypress site. A user (who looked legit) suddenly started private messaging the whole community with obviously spam material resulting in some very angry members

I will go ahead and install Akismet and a captcha during registration H.owever, is it true that each user has to obtain their own key from wordpress.com and plug it into Akismet to get it to work? Is there an alternative that I can just activate for everyone? Or can I just provide all my members with my key to activate their akismet?

Also, what steps have other BP admin used to prevent the kind of spam that I mentioned above? I do not think Akismet & the captcha during registration would have helped in this situation.

Is there a plugin that flags users who message a lot of users in a short time? Something like that might help fight spammers.

Thanks.

I’ve closed the ticket for this, I’ve not heard of anyone with the same problem. If anyone else can confirm this problem on their setup I will take a look at it.

As far as I know, there is not a widget that does that. It’s a good idea though!

You could create your own custom widget using the Featured Groups widget as a template. You would need to add CSS to create a grid pattern that positions the avatars the way you want. Here’s a post in which I describe how to make a very rudimentary grid structure using CSS.

If you do end up making this widget, consider sharing it with the community!

Hello, I need help, I have installed wordpress mu 2.7.1, buddypress.1.0.1 and bbpress-1.0-rc-3.

I have the “Attention Site Admin: Group forums require the correct setup and configuration of a bbPress installation” stupid famous msg. I have added all the plugins, edited config files of bbpress and wordpress to match auth keys (as explained), etc. added a new user in buddypress, change to “admin” state in bbpress, etc

I dont know what more to try, I read all posts, added small pieces of code to config files, deleted cookies, etc

I am lost, I spent 8 hours trying things and nothing. Same msg. I have one database for wordpress mu and other for bbpress…

Any idea of something I could test? or maybe something fails in my server?

I have done the XML-RPC test that Burt created and server said: “Hello from bbPress!” so it works… I am so tired (

Hi, this is my WP/BB/BP integration: http://ryuuko.cl

it’s currently beta, but open. Only the blog registration is disabled because I haven’t uploaded themes :p I use a custom BP/BB theme that uses the markup of the WP theme (Thesis in this case).

We’ve been a small forum based community for almost 10 years. The next step is something more social, so BuddyPress was just what we needed.

Good spot. Please file this as a ticket on https://trac.buddypress.org/ – use the same username and password that you do here. Thanks.

anyone ?

Everything is working starting from forum integration. Posting from buddypress or bbpress. All post shows up in the group forum itself.

Just that, new topic, post reply for group forums are not showing in sitewide activity ? How can i do ? . Please help me.

And one more thing is, group wire supposed to be shown in the side wide activity as well ?

I am using Buddy Press 1.0 , BBpress 1.0 Rc1

Well, we have insufficient information about your setup. Please answer these questions.

@Mattlay-

As he has not been active on these forums for over a month, I doubt you’ll get a reply from Terryjsmith.

But, to answer this question:

I am curious if anyone knows if bbpress and BP are working to do this somehow by default. I am sure they are working on a lot of things but like I said this seems rather important from a users perspective.

You should view theBuddyPress roadmap. You can see that for BP v1.1, better integration support is one of the goals.

Dan, read this thread for some possible insight and ideas: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3173

This thread is about Mike Pratt’s Featured Groups Widget. This allows site admins to select certain BP groups to feature. It has nothing to do with individual members.

It sounds like you are talking about my Featured Member(s) Widget. If you are, you set a featured member by their unique ID, not by their username. When editing the widget’s parameters, it states “Member ID(s)” and “Separate member IDs by commas”.

A member ID is the unique number automatically assigned to each user by WPMU upon registration. You can find each member’s unique member ID (also called userid), by logging into WPMU and clicking on “Site Admin > Users”. Then, hover your cursor of a given member’s username and look at the link text. you’ll see this in the url “user_id=”. You can also obtain a user’s unique ID by looking at the “ID” field in the wp_users table in WPMU’s MySQL DB.
