BuddyPress.org

I’m trying to add a link to the Buddypress profile for each author on the author page of my custom home theme. I’m trying:

<?php echo bp_core_get_userlink( $user->user_id ) ?>

This simply takes me to the same author page found by the existing:

<?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>

What am i missing?

Erich73-

Place an enhancement ticket in trac.

Devweb-

I am not aware of such a plugin or heard of anyone that has done this yet. It is an interesting idea.

I suggest searching or browsing BP trac to see if someone has added this as an Enhancement ticket. If you do not find it listed as such, you can add it yourself!

Skollie-

Burt is hard at work on the alpha2 release of bpc. Once he has some time, I’m sure he’ll get around to writing that post he promised.

Dennyhalim.com-

so it seems that bp cannot correctly calculate the time the blog last active.

this might related to timezone problem.

This thread shows you how to deal with this issue: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2437#post-13341

i check between the blog that cause problem and the blog listed before it,

all have same plugin activated.

So, if you do not have any plugins activated anywhere, except BuddyPress, you still have this issue?

Yes I have the Wp-content/bp_theme

Just to be absolutely sure, the bpmember theme, and all BuddyPress member themes, go in /wp-content/bp-themes/, not /wp-content/bp_theme.

You did not provide answers to these three questions:

6. Whether you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated

7. Whether you are using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes

8. A list of any errors in your server’s log files

Mratanas-

I’m glad you seem to be up and running. If your BuddyPress issue is indeed resolved, all you need to do now is turn the light green at the top and we’re good to go.

Moominmama-

Thanks for the detailed issue report. It is nice to see someone actually following the procedure!

As I’ve seen one of your posts in another thread, I realize that you are aware of various issues that some people have installing WPMU on BlueHost. It seems that you’ve navigated far along the path and may be close to success. So, I’ll see if I can provide you with another step or two toward the finish line.

PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home1/openboo2/public_html/blogging/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php:123) in /home1/openboo2/public_html/blogging/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php on line 214

The “Cannot modify header” error almost always indicates that there is some whitespace before the opening php or closing php tag. It could be in one or both places. Open up class.bpdb.php and look for the whitespace. It should be removed and the file saved.

PHP Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /home1/openboo2/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress-live.php on line 425

Are you running PHP4 or PHP5?

Is the category system only going to be part of a later plugin release or can one already tweak the code now to enable it?

This is just off the top of my head. No guarantees. Try something like this:

<input type="image" name="search-submit" id="search-submit"

src="/path/to/your/submit.gif" alt="submit" />

Please realize that since you are hacking the core (making changes to a core BuddyPress file), the next time you update BP, your changes will be lost. Instead, you should create an alternate function for bp_search_form() and place that in a bp-custom.php file.

We’ve been having a related discussion in this thread. Are you using BlueHost as well? It does not really matter. The lessons in the link are the same.

The requested URL /community/members was not found on this server.

Do you have the default member theme (bpmember) installed in /wp-content/bp-themes/?

Group, Members, Blogs, Registration, does not work.

I assume registration is working fine now because I just visited your site and you have a newly registered member–a test account, I assume. The time on your OP clearly indicates that you started this thread before you registered that new account.

Finally, please go through this list of questions.

We do not have anymore details than you have read. Perhaps Andy will shed some light after he has recuperated from WordCamp SF.

In addition to that news, there was mention that WP.com will offer BuddyPress as well. So, as far as what this means for BuddyPress, your guess is as good as mine. Will BuddyPress be included as a simple “switch” to turn on? How about bbPress?

When will all this happen? The writer of that post speculates around WPv2.9. Who knows. Since this is such a major shift, to me it seems more like a version 3.0 event. But, this is also pure speculation.

I’m also on BlueHost and installing manually is as easy as installing with simplescripts. That said, I needed to install and reinstall fifty-million (ok, maybe eight) times to get things working right with forum integration, etc. What worked was breaking it down slowly slowly slowly. First WPMU, then buddypress and finally using these instructions for integrating bbpress:

http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/04/30/integrating-buddypress-10-wpmu-and-bbpress/

The reason I had to reinstall so many times is I had trouble with the domains/subdirectories and finally had to change it out manually:

http://welcome.totheinter.net/2009/05/06/changing-wordpress-mu-from-subdomains-to-subdirectories/

It’s still buggy — I had some problems when I had to change out domains to get my site showing up in the right place — but I have hope it’s at least mostly working.

Peterverkooijen-

It seems like your not getting any traction with this issue. I understand your need to have a plugin that restricts group access to only those members within a group.

As I mentioned in the thread you referenced above, we are working on an overall privacy component for BuddyPress. What you are seeking will be one of the features of this component.

Perhaps someone will point out an existing plugin that I’m not aware of, or go and create it for you! But, if that does not happen, you at least know that this functionality is in the works.

I have one question

Here are the three answers to your one question!

Is it the case that anyone can register on the community and create a blog

You can control blog registration in WPMU’s backend. Log into the admin panel as site administrator and visit “Site Admin > Options > Allow new registrations”. There are a few settings which give you some basic control.

Can the community admin restrict who has the privilege to do that

If the community admin is the overall site admin, then see the first answer.

is it possible to make membership by invitation only?

This thread should help you with the buddybar issue: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2572#post-14039

running it on http://callcenterblogs.net

thank you for developing this. really!

any news about all this ?

This is the only thing missing for me to use Buddypress

Mratanas-

Unless a member has direct experience with a one-button installer, you will most likely not get much help here on how to use SimpleScripts on BlueHost.

But, you really should not be installing complex software platforms like WPMU by using third-party installers. You should manually install WPMU paying careful, close attention to the readme.txt file that comes with it.

You need to make sure that WPMU is working perfectly before you install any plugins. This includes BuddyPress. If you continue to have issues, you should visit the WPMU forums and see how others have solved their problems installing Mu on BlueHost. Once WPMU is working perfectly, install BuddyPress. If you then have issues, come back here and we’ll see what we can do.

To help us better help you, if you do come back with a BuddyPress-specific issue, please follow these instructions.

Peterverkooijen-

This issue is not resolved imho.

Your issue is not what this thread is about. The issue of the OP was resolved and so he marked it as such.

Posting a new request in a one-month old thread marked resolved will not get much attention. See here for more details: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2543

But, to provide some insight into your question, a couple of us are currently working on a full-featured privacy (authorization) component for BuddyPress. It is a ways off from being made available.

Hi I found that line which is the one for the button….:

<input type=”submit” name=”search-submit” id=”search-submit” value=”‘ . __( ‘Search’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘” />

‘ . wp_nonce_field( ‘bp_search_form’ ) . ‘

who knows how the line is when I want put in the buttonimage: searchbutton.gif ? So that it works with the look of that created button ?
