BuddyPress.org

Hi gang,

Am brand new to MU and Buddypress and I have setup Buddypress on my local box

Saw this thread and it’s exactly what I want to do.

To test this out, I am using the default Kubrick Home theme, and have adjusted my home blog’s settings under “Site Admin > Blogs” to: “Path – /” and “Permalink Settings – “/%postname%/”.

When I attempt to click on the “hello-world” post under the home blog, I get a 404 error.

However, when I go to “/blog/hello-world/”, this works.

Any idea why?

Watch out for the new Welcome Widget HTML entity encoding, it got me and I had to turn it off because I had HTML in my Welcome widget.

See the release notes or forum comments for where to take it out from Andy

Merhaba infinitive!

It’s probably best if you post support requests in English, at that appears to be the most common language by far on this forum. I have utmost respect for people who can also talk my language, and I am shamed often that I can’t talk yours. I’ve run your post through Google Translate and have put the translation below, to try to help people who are looking to help you. Thanks for your post.

Hello

Friends who know Turkish hopefully help a friend

I can not add the new group profile Buddypress field would create the group name would click to create the group said. A few times I’ve encountered this problem may help nedne is this?

Okay, I’m just thinking out loud, just going through the registration process.

As long as BuddyPress is installed and activated, is does not matter if your users register via the wp-signup.php form (which is found in WPMU) or the register.php form (which is found in BuddyPress). The extra fields from BuddyPress will show up on either form.

Here is where the data is stored:

The datum for “Full Name”, which is a required BuddyPress field, is stored in the table wp_bp_xprofile_data. The data for the “Nickname” field, which is the username if no full name is provided, the “First name” field, and “Last name” field, are stored in the table wp_usermeta. The data for “username” and “Display Name” are stored in the table wp_user.

So, here’s a question:

Did you at any point uninstall BuddyPress and delete the BP tables in MySQL? Did you delete any of the WPMU tables? Did you do either or both of these and then reinstall? If yes, did most of your students register before that time and then only those four register after a BuddyPress reinstall?

I’m just grasping at straws now. Perhaps someone else will have insight into this issue.

Since BuddyPress is a plugin for WordPress Mu, all that it requires is for WordPress Mu to be functioning properly. If WPMU does not find a .htaccess file in the directory in which it is installed, it will try to create one automatically.

Now, does WPMU require a .htaccess file? No. Why? Because people have successfully installed and run large WPMU-based sites on LightTPD and Nginx. These webservers do not support .htaccess files.

What WPMU uses the .htaccess file for (in an Apache or IIS environment) is to set rewrite rules for permalinks. In LightTPD and Nginx, this is accomplished through the webserver’s configuration file.

So, the question is this: What web server platform does Yahoo! Hosting use?

If their webservers are running Apache, then find out if mod_rewrite is turned off. A .htaccess file is basically useless without mod_write. This may be why they say that you can’t use a .htaccess file.

Here’s some information that might help: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Using_.22Pretty.22_permalinks

If you continue to have issues with this, I would switch to a host that allows you to use the WPMU .htaccess file.

> WP2.7.1, 2.8-beta2, and WPMU

What? BuddyPress is a plugin that runs only on WPMU. You don’t need to install regular WP. Or have you? Confused.

BuddyPress is for WordPress MU,to have MU 2.8 it takes a while, when it will be

released buddypress works on 2.8 without problem.

DJPaul was correct about me needing more tea!

When I looked at the image link you provided, it sure seemed like you were using a custom theme, not the default BuddyPress theme. It still looks like that to me.

So, you are saying that you are using the bphome theme which is installed in /wp-content/themes/ and the bpmember theme, which is installed in /wp-content/bp-themes/? You also are saying that you did not touch the code or CSS within those two theme directories at all.

If this is the case, then try reuploading just these two theme files.

Of course, this could be a browser issue. What browser are you using?

jerrod1225-

Several members have reported issues when installing BuddyPress via SimpleScripts. Did you install BP this way? If so, please read this thread and see if that helps.

If you did not install BP using SimpleScripts, then you should start a new thread. Make sure that youprovide this information in your first post.

A guy from Stackoverflow had the solution

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/948116/ajax-404-with-results-using-buddypress/957561#957561

Try adding this line of code to /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-ajax-handler.php before do_action()

status_header( 200 );

I’ve followed the tutoral “Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs” for customising text messages and it works but while browsing site an warning message occurs

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at Z:homeneoforman.comwwwblogwp-contentpluginsbp-custom.php:1)

my bp-languages folder contains files: buddypress-nfm.mo and buddypress-nfm.po

my bp-custom.php looks as follows

it doesn’t contain any other code.

I’ve started the translation after upgrading to 1.0.1 version of Buddypress.

Could anybody advice me where am I wrong?

Hum, I’m at a loss as to what is going on in your particular situation.

Jpegs can be processed via the file uploader and cropper. You get a message of success, but then they are not actually written to the blogs.dir directory.

PNGs on the other hand, have issue with the file uploader and cropper. You get a 404 message but then they actual DO get written to the blogs.dir directory.

So, the permissions and ownership of the blogs.dir directory must be okay. You are able to write to this directory.

1. What are the avatar file sizes that you are attempting to upload?
2. What are the sizes of the jpg versus png files?
3. What is your setting for for maximum upload size in WPMU’s backend: “Site Admin > Options > Max upload file size”?
4. Do you have the png file format added to the list of accepted upload file formats? This option is found just above the setting for maximum upload size.

I created a ticket in trac a few days ago that may be of interest, but I do not think that it is the primary reason for your issue.

Bertjohn, the site works now. How did you fix it. I have the same problem. I installed with bluehost also. WordPress MU and Buddypress are both installed. I have no additional plugins and I’m using the default buddypress templates.

I don’t want to encourage you to do hard-coded changes, but if you want to, here are the instructions

1. Open wp-content->plugins->buddypress->bp-core->bp-core-classes.php

2. replace line 247 and 248 by following code

$total_users_sql = apply_filters( 'bp_core_search_users_count_sql', "SELECT DISTINCT count(u.ID) as user_id FROM " . CUSTOM_USER_TABLE . " u LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_data} pd ON u.ID = pd.user_id WHERE pd.field_id=1 AND pd.value LIKE '%%$search_terms%%' ORDER BY pd.value ASC", $search_terms );

$paged_users_sql = apply_filters( 'bp_core_search_users_sql', "SELECT DISTINCT u.ID as user_id FROM " . CUSTOM_USER_TABLE . " u LEFT JOIN {$bp->profile->table_name_data} pd ON u.ID = pd.user_id WHERE pd.field_id=1 AND pd.value LIKE '%%$search_terms%%' ORDER BY pd.value ASC{$pag_sql}", $search_terms, $pag_sql );

in above code “pd.field_id=1” should be the id of Full Name field ( I think its 1 )

what’s ur link?

HTML filters are normally managed by KSES not buddypress, but maybe there’s a new function that filters HTML.

Dan-

I’m going to make just a few comments now. I’ll look at this in more detail tomorrow.

It look’s like you are using the default themes that come with BuddyPress–bphome and bpmember. Is this correct?

Pardon me if you know all this already but, when a user (one of your students) logs in, a link appears in the upper right corner of the buddybar with a link to their profile page. This link displays either their username or nickname. What is displayed depends on whether or not a nickname has been entered by the user. For all but four of your students, there is no nickname.

Now, when a student clicks this link, it will take them to their profile page. Once there, they can edit their profile. In the default BP install, there is a “Full Name” field in the profile that can be filled in.

WordPress Mu uses this data for the display in the backend–your picture #2. If the “Full Name” field is blank in their profile, then you will only see data in the “Username” and “nickname” fields, with the username used as the nickname. If a user has add anything to the “Full Name” field, then Mu will use that, and if it can, split it automatically into a “First name” and “Last name”.

The fact that 4 students have data in these fields indicates to me that they went to their profile page and clicked “Edit Profile” and then added their full name to the “Full Name” field. It is not a mystery.

Finally, when logged into WPMU’s backend, go to the “BuddyPress” menu group. Once there, click on “General Settings”. You will see a field named “Full Name field name”. Then, click on “Profile Field Setup”. There, you will see all of the currently-setup profile fields that your students can utilize. You can add, edit, or delete fields. You can make certain fields required.

You should spend some time not only in the WPMU’s backend, but also in the members’ area of BuddyPress to see how all of this works.

I hope this helps.

I switched to the BuddyPress default themes… still failed with the media library duplicate, but I can add friends

Well, one problem isolated. So, this particular issue appears to be caused by your custom theme. Make sure that you compare the header file in the bpmember theme, or even the bpskeltonmember theme, with your custom header file. You could be missing a key line or two.

Concerning the duplicate declaration error: were you running an older version of BP before–like RC1? If so, did you delete all your old BuddyPress files from /mu-plugins/, this includes theme files.

@jeff:

I’d already marked two of those threads as resolved, and posted what was causing the problem.

They weren’t problems related to this.

I have 2 unresolved threads open: the media library duplicate declaration problem, and the failure to add a friend issue.

I’ve responded to your feedback on these in thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3000

I appreciate the helpful responses from anyone on this forum (moderators and regular users alike). Thanks in advance.
