Something more… (sorry, previous post was too old to edit??)

Editing \wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-xprofile\bp-xprofile-classes.php to output

<option value="February">Febbraio</option>

gets the date correctly saved into the database. However the month still won’t be selected when re-editing the profile, and month name is still displayed in English in the profile page. I can’t seem to be able to find the right files to edit. Any suggestions?

By the way, here’s how i changed bp-xprofile-classes.php. Edit from line 555 onward

$months = array( __( 'January', 'buddypress' ), __( 'February', 'buddypress' ), __( 'March', 'buddypress' ),

__( 'April', 'buddypress' ), __( 'May', 'buddypress' ), __( 'June', 'buddypress' ),

__( 'July', 'buddypress' ), __( 'August', 'buddypress' ), __( 'September', 'buddypress' ),

__( 'October', 'buddypress' ), __( 'November', 'buddypress' ), __( 'December', 'buddypress' )

);



$html .= '

<select name="field_' . $this->id . '_month" id="field_' . $this->id . '_month">';

$html .= '<option value=""' . attribute_escape( $default_select ) . '>

</option>';



for ( $i = 0; $i < 12; $i++ ) {

if ( $month == $months[$i] ) {

$selected = ' selected = "selected"';

} else {

$selected = '';

}



$html .= '<option value="' . $months[$i] . '"' . $selected . '>' . $months[$i] . '</option>';

I have the same problem as Bento, and I guess this has something to do with localization, considering everything works when I set language back to English in WPMU General Preferences.

So please, could someone look into this and suggest what to do, ’cause I really have no clue.

More info on the erratic behavior (again, if WPMU language is English everything works fine):

WPMU 2.7.1 – Buddypress 1.0 – default bphome & bpmember themes – WP_Lang it_IT

– Dates generally won’t be saved into the DB

– Some random dates, however, are saved, but off by 1 day (as per original message by Bento)

– Manually editing the DB shows the date in the Public Profile page

– When editing the profile after a manual DB edit, a month won’t be selected in the datebox (while day and year are)

– Months names (F) are translated in the datebox, still in English in the Profile Page

– Doesn’t matter what date format you set in WPMU preferences (be it F or m for the month)

(Edit: typos)

doh! i hate that readme.txt, i get lazy now and assume that the plugin activation works for everything. thanks for this guys, mine is working now as well.

/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-signup.php

line # 237, change from the old line to the new line.

old line:

<input id="signupuser" type="radio" name="signup_for" value="user" <?php echo $signup['user'] ?> />

new line:

<input id="signupuser" type="radio" checked name="signup_for" value="user" <?php echo $signup['user'] ?> />

open up style.css, you need to modify the header (i.e. this section)

Hello, Codyb

The SocialNetwork logo is named logo.gif, I think. You can find it in two places:

1. WP-Content > themes > buddypress-home > images and

2. WP-Content > bp-themes > buddypress-member > images.

Replace both with your desired logo and try.

We really need more people to start designing themes!

http://www.Freebpthemes.com has a theme competition running at the moment with some good prizes so hopefully people submit some nice designs!

@ Atul Singhal

duplicate you /register.php in your buddypress-home theme,

(duplicate it to keep it as a backup)

towards the bottom of register.php you’ll see something like “do_bp_core_signup”

you can comment that out and replace it with the Iframe version of the rpx plugin

‘

<iframe src=”https://buzzwe.rpxnow.com/openid/embed?token_url=http%3A%2F%YOUR_SITE.com%2F%3Frpx_response%3D1%26goback%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252FYOUR_SITE.com/WELCOME_LANDING_CUSTOM_PAGE&#8221;

scrolling=”no” frameBorder=”no” style=”width:400px;height:240px;”>

</iframe>

‘

just change YOUR_SITE and WELCOME_LANDING_CUSTOM_PAGE to your own token url

one issue I have with this on my site, is that the RPX plugin doesn’t gather much information… sometimes it will only get the email/username… sometimes the email is a “proxy mail email ” => @yahoo12343-proxymail.com (I haven’t confirmed this with all the 3rd party login providers)

this will effect how the notifications work… so you’ll proly want your landing page to have instructions to update their profile information

that should work

Thanks for the information J J J !

hello, im pretty new at setting up tables.

how do you set up the KEY part of the table. is there a radio button that select like a PRIMARY KEY for me to make the field a KEY?

please help.

Hello Codyb,

There you have two websites where you can find some BP themes:

http://www.buddydress.com/

http://www.freebpthemes.com/

I’m happy, 1st time I can help someone there;-)

I created the translated file buddypress-mysite.mo and uploaded to the bp-languages folder. However when I place the below code in bp-custom.php and upload to the plugins folder it gives me an error

define( ‘BPLANG’, ‘lance’ );

if ( file_exists( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ ) ) {

load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ );

}

I am guess its something to do with the fact that I have not replaced ‘lance’ with my own website label. What should this label be and where can I find mine?

Thanks.

We’ve installed buddypress + wordpressmu on our server. We’ve also installed RPX module foe WordPress. It’s working fine for login and allows user to login without sign up.

But we want to have it on sign up screen and replace the existing signup process with RPX and redirect the user to custom welcome page. Is there any work around for it?

I read through https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2664&replies=19#post-14700 and noticed something…

The first two lines in my .htaccess file is different to that explained in the post. Also, the “RewriteBase /” is missing the “wp/” at the end. I’m hesitant to delete the file like Codyb did unless you guys think it’s OK to do.

My .htaccess reads:

AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

I found the error logs section and the only entries are the following:

[Wed May 13 03:49:22 2009] [error] [client 66.249.71.46] SoftException in Application.cpp:544: Directory “/home/bucksboa/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress” is writeable by group

Doesn’t mean much to me. Sorry, I’m a novice… but on a steep learning curve!!

@Kunal17

Is the bp-custom.php file something that I download or create?

You create it yourself, and place it in “/wp-content/plugins”.

What is the ‘mysite’ language translation as defined in the tutorial?

That is a sample definition that I used for the tutorial — you can use whatever you want. Just make it a label that makes sense to you and your site.

Still wondering about the command to convert .po to .mo. How is that run and from where?

Running that command requires that your web server have basic GNU gettext support — if you don’t know if it’s supported, ask your host (it’s pretty standard on most Linux servers).

Running this command also requires command line access to your server via a program like PuTTY (Windows), Terminal.app (Mac), or from inside an FTP program and requires that your server support “msgfmt”. If you do not know how to run commands like this, or don’t have command line access to your server, please see Translating WordPress for other software options for converting language files (like Poedit).

@Craig dean

Also not understanding the conversion of the po. to the mo. using the run command. Is it a ftp app command. Just not sure.

See me answer above. I also updated the Codex page with these notes.

@Mstoppay

my bp-custom.php file wasn’t loading. Once I moved it out of the buddypress folder and into the plugins folder the language change worked… anyone know why that is?

Yes, as of BuddyPress 1.0 the “bp-custom.php” should be placed in the “plugins” folder instead of inside the BuddyPress directory, as noted by Andy in this thread. Thanks for the reminder — I updated the Codex page to note the correct location.

Note also that if you use the “Automatic upgrade” option to update your BuddyPress install, make sure to backup your language files first since they could be removed during the upgrade process (see this thread).

I’m developing a customised buddypress member theme and a directory view special for artists, musicians and multi media interested people.

This is my fun learning project to get deeper into wordpress and buddypress theme design and plugin development.

The hole website is still in beta mode. So don’t aspect it to work 100%

http://rheinrauschen.de (In the moment just firefox ie will come al last)

I will give the theme and plugin’s step by step to the community.

For this I have to wait for some bug fixes, the stable bp-events component. Better forum integration and many more….

Thanks for the report.

Proves once again that BuddyPress alone works fine, but sometimes plugins don’t play nice.

So far WP Super Cache and qTranslate are the two white-screen causing culprits in the past two days.
