BuddyPress.org

somebody please explain…

if i already have object-cache.php

do i still need db-cache?

isnt both do the same thing?

I am also having memory issues.

Question about your solution:

If you set the max memory to 40 MB, won’t it run out of memory faster? (assuming you have more than 40 MB available).

im completely confused here, bbpress is a separate thing we need to add/install to buddypress?

sorry im new to all this and have successfully installed wordpressmu and buddypress, but i thought the bbpress already was included in the buddypress download since it gave me options to enable it….please help? thanks

@Michael-

The title of your thread says, “Recent Posts Widget Bug?”

So, let’s again clarify. With exactly which widget are you seeing this behavior? The “Recent Blog Posts” widget, or the “Recent Post” widget?

The former is a BuddyPress widget, the latter is a WPMU widget.

I’m closing this thread. A solution to Skollie’s issue is provided in this thread.

Skollie-

I just looked into this and found that Mike’s widget is using a deprecated function call

bp_group_permalink

This changed somewhere down the road to BP v1.0. So, if you are comfortable with opening up a PHP file and making two easy changes, you can search for that function in his widget and replace the above call with

bp_get_group_permalink

If you are not comfortable with doing this, then message Mike and give him the url for this forum thread, kindly begging him to fix his widget as quickly as possible or the world will end.

Actually, if you make the changes to the code yourself, it would also be nice of you to let Mike know that his widget needs a little TLC.

Okay, a couple of thoughts:

1. Off the top of my head I’d say the quickest way to offer some solution is by creating a new extended field and letting your members paste their blog URLs in that field. Call the field My Other Blogs.

This would not bring in any of your members’ blog posts though. It would simply provide a standard place to put an external link to their blog(s). You could tell them how to make the urls look a little prettier by using an href tag.

<a href="http://myotherblogurl/">Hey, look at my cool blog!</a>

2. You could use the FeedwordPress plugin to allow your members a way to aggregate their external blog posts. I’ve never used this and I have no idea how it will play with BuddyPress.

3. You could suggest, possibly offering as a premium service, that they move their other WordPress-based blogs to your site. You would then use Donncha’s Domain Mapping Plugin to faciliate that move while allowing your members to keep their original domains. I’ve never done this, so there may be a lot more to it than meets the eye.

In essence, you would have your existing internal Mu blogs co-existing with all the newly imported and mapped blogs. I’m not sure what conflicts this could cause with WPMU or BuddyPress.

Amhyaut-

Which version of BuddyPress are you running? Whereas I do see the potential error you’re referring to in the two testbp.org links above, when I went to my test install, I could not replicate this behavior.

At first the “uncategorized” category appeared in the member theme when navigating to “Blogs > Recent Posts”. But when I went into the blog’s dashboard and edited the post by reselecting a new category, making sure that “uncategorized” was deselected, and then hitting the “Update Post” button, the problem disappeared upon refreshing the member theme page in my browser.

Perhaps this has something to do with cached data in testbp.org. So, I would not submit a new ticket in trac.

@Ceeeeg

A couple of thoughts:

1. You’ve mentioned that you set the permissions on blogs.dir to 777. Check to make sure that the user & the group for that directory is not root:root
2. Try disabling the Welcome Package plugin, although this should not be related to your issue in any way. Also, contact DJPaul and let him know about this error.

Ya, custom loop for forums:

It doesn’ t look like Andy has documented this yet but there is a group forum loop just like other parts of bp have a loop. Look at bp_has_topics() in bp-forums-templatetags.php. It looks like I’d use that if I were you.

See: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/ for examples using other bp_has_[something]() loops.

That might be the best way to go with this.

Where can you find the names of the widgets you want listed for users by default so you can add them to the user layout?

Also is there a way of forcing all new users to have the same buddypress theme? EG: Shout? It seems really weird tome that the default mode of operation is that each new users account gets set to the wordpress default rather than the site default.

Could I just overwrite the wordpress default blog theme directory with the contents of the shout buddypress theme?

Thanks in advance,

i’ve tried working with it using them as functions.. no luck.

Once we’ve got a “stable” bbPress 1.0, I’ve got a stable step by step integration process.

RC2 is looking pretty good so far so shan’t be long now!

Hey M, I think you are going to be the YEDI-Master of BP Plugins

The widgets you are talking about are not designed to be called from a template. They just don’t work very well for that situation. Perhaps you’d like to investigate the bp custom loops that use template tags. These are designed to be used in templates : https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/

What you are talking about is a custom component. See : https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/creating-a-custom-buddypress-component/

The chat system kicks ass.. Super impressed so far.. Keep up the great work!

This stuff works just fine people. Do you have that plugin in my-plugins as well as bb-plugins? It’s trying to run twice for some reason.
