BuddyPress.org

I can’t understand how the messaging problem happens, everything is sent using usernames, and has nothing to do with profile fields.

In fact, everything in BuddyPress is based on usernames, and those have to be unique. Perhaps you can give more detail on some specific problems?

Hi

I had the same problem with uploading images in a new registration, i solved them out changing the permissions to 777 in wordpress-mu/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/ and turning SAFEMODE OFF.

Now, a new user can registrate and upload a photo. But… the new problem is that the uploaded photo does´nt show, a broken image is shown, in the directory wordpress-mu/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/2/ are the images but doesn’t show on my buddypress.

When i login and delete my avatar, the default avatar is shown. When i retry to upload my photo the error appears again.

Here is my url http://cororegatas.com.ar/wordpress-mu/members

what I might need to do?

My apologies for my pour english.

I`m looking forward to your reply.

What features will the alpha have? First cuts of admin interface, component interface (i.e. example.com/members/DJPaul/achievements) and a few ‘achievements’ built-in.

What features do I want in this plugin down the road? Achievements for pretty much everything you can do with standard WPMU and BuddyPress.

Pipe dream features? An admin interface to let site administrators create and define their own achievements without having to muck with code.

I solved this by creating a bbPress theme that simply made everything invisible (css “display: none;” on everything) and redirected the users to the start page of my community by means of a meta refresh redirect.

Since I am so extremely witty, I called it “Kakumei None”. You can download it here: http://dropbox.jobjorn.se/kakumei-none.zip

I’ve soft-launched our University community at http://www.wearesau.net. I’m hoping to do a lot more with it visually, but for now I’m just testing and watching it very closely.

It seems that you are wanting to change the slug “blog” to something else. Read this article and see if this is what you’re after:

Just came across this post. I really like the fact that colourlovers.com has managed to create a very passionate community. Look at the sponsors post..tons of people commenting that they would like to be a sponsor (for very few benefits IMO)

yep

Your path seems wrong. From v1.0 mine is:

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages

3 files inside:

buddypress.pot

buddypress-es_ES.mo

buddypress-es_ES.po

D’Arcy,

I think this is a Multi-DB issue. I just loaded BuddyPress as well, and I am getting the same nonsense. Damn it!

My Group forums were working fine until I installed the BP update today. Now it won’t let me post from groups at all. Anyone else having this problem and have a fix?

One error message I’m getting is:

group_obj is undefined in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-templatetags.ph

This is truly beyond the scope of the BuddyPress forums. But, since I had some issues when I attemtpted to install WPMU on MAMP several months ago, I feel your pain.

I wrote an article (months ago) for installation of WPMU on MAMP (not MAMP Pro). But, I’m not yet finished with updating my new website, so it is not yet posted.

Here is the crux of the article. I’ve never tried this with XAMPP, so use at your own risk:

1. Make sure you have the most recent, stable version of WPMU and that it is copied into MAMP where you want it to be.
2. Read the readme.txt file that comes with WPMU
3. Do not manually edit either of these two files:

   • wp-config-sample.php file
   • htaccess.dist file

   Unlike single version WordPress, the WPMU installer will take care of creating the proper files using these two as templates. If you need to make changes to either of these files, do so after the installation has succeeded.

4. WPMU wants to run on Apache port 80. Since OS X comes with a copy of Apache set to run on port 80, you will have issues if OS X is automatically configured to start its own copy of Apache on boot. If so, you’ll have to change that. Check to make sure that the Web Sharing checkbox is unchecked in System Preferences > Sharing
5. Now fire up your browser and go to localhost:80/index.php and follow the prompts. The path will be different if you’ve installed WPMU in a subdirectory. If so, just add the subdirectory to the url.
6. In the field for Server Address, you will see the recommendation to use localhost.localdomain instead of localhost. That did not work for me. Instead, I found that I had to use the internal IP address of my computer (a.k.a the local IP address which is always 127.0.0.1 ). I tried the localhost.localdomain address several different times with no success. If you have already tried this, make sure that you delete the wp-config.php file and start all over.
7. If you’ve done this properly, you should now be seeing a friendly “Installation Finished!” screen. Follow the instructions. Write down your password.
8. Now, manually enter the address for the admin login screen into your browser’s address bar. If you just hit log in, you may have issues. So, if you are using 127.0.0.1 as the Server Address, you would enter in the browser 127.0.0.1/wp-login.php. The path will be different if you’ve installed WPMU in a subdirectory.

Good luck!. Let me know if this works for you.

Doas anyone know a good guide/tutorial for installing WPMU/Buddypress on OSX with XAMPP? I know i have to change localhost to localhost.localdomain. But where and how can i achieve this? And why isn’t it possible to run WPMU on localhost? No spamming, just for general interest.

Mmm not sure, if the error is only yours, anyhow if you think it’s a bug you can open a ticket in the trac, so Andy will check it,

https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket

Use your bp credentials to log in

… err … sorry fot the spam, but I see that also the upgrade deletes a custom plug-in I placed inside the buddypress folder

Just to be even more clear and to confirm the issue once I repeated it, in my case I just placed again:

buddypress-es_ES.po

buddypress-es_ES.mo

I’m having a similar problem. On the activation screen I get a javascript error: “v1Cropper is undefined.” I haven’t changed the buddypress theme, but I have a custom wordpress theme installed and renamed its folder to “default” to force new blogs to use the customized theme. I saved the original default theme in a backup folder. Is it possible I need some file(s) from the original default wordpress theme? I’m using wordpress 2.7.1 and buddypress 1.0.

Thx.

How can i set the current category near the member list title ?

in directories/members/index.php:line 7

<h3><?php _e( ‘Member Listing’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?> – cat. here </h3>

Thank you, Jeff.

I created new ticket.

Wessa-

Thanks for your comments. I too always thought it a bit odd to get friendship requests from someone I never met.

This, of course, is not specific to BuddyPress. Friending is a common practice in the 1st-generation social networking platforms like MySpace, Facebook, and others. Many platforms that followed basically carried this metaphor forward.

However, I think it is time to evolve the friending process. We can pay homage to the throwback years of early social networking platforms, but going forward, we need to expand our relationship definitions.

Are you proposing that the requests also come through with the relationship reference attached.. for example “Wessa would like to add you as an acquaintance”

For the alpha release of this component, I am focusing on remapping of the friend relationship. So, the request for friendship would come in and be accepted or rejected as always. If accepted, the users would have a choice to remap that relationship to something more appropriate. Of course, this means that each party in the relationship could remap the relationship differently.

For the official release, version 1.0, it is possible that I will hook into the actual relationship-requesting process and pass on the request as proposed–x would like to add you as a colleague. This way, both parties would in essence be agreeing to the type of relationship.

Thanks for sharing your solution. I’m setting this thread to resolved. You can always run the light red again if need be!

Basic adaptation of the standard theme. Perhaps a custom theme design sometime in the future. Moved the site from Nucleus CMS. Still tweaking here and there.
