BuddyPress.org

Only problem is I have a main site already utilizing the codyconnect.com root structure utilizing drupal 6.8 so I can’t dump all the contents into that directory because drupal is using it already. SI this a themes issue or a permissions issue? I just don’t understand why its not creating the directory structure. I keep seeing people talk about slugs and stuff like that, but I’m new to all of this and just don’t know if I’m missing something obvious. I can get to the dashboard just fine, but anything under the BuddyPress tabs at top under My Account kicks out the 404 error

Yes I do. Basically I wanted my site to be accessible using the address http://www.codyconnect.com/wp so in my /var/www/html I renamed the wordpress-mu to wp

I downloaded buddypress and placed it in /var/www/html/wp/wp-content/plugins/buddypress

Then I moved /var/www/html/wp/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/ to /var/www/html/wp/wp-content/bp-themes/

Its almost like these directories should be created by default when you create a user, but their not. I’m not sure if I’m missing something obvious here or what. Here is my .htaccess file in /var/www/html/wp/

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /wp/

#uploaded files

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.*

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

I’m also using a large 23″ monitor, but I have not changed any of the widths in the CSS that you note in your message previous to the last message. Those are the values that come “in the box” in the default BuddyPress installation. But it’s clear that the designers of the BuddyPress.org website have changed theirs … I’ll try to make those changes and see if that makes a difference.

Isn’t there just a simple way of making this feature expandable to the width of whatever browser window my visitor may have? Like using a percentage size instead of a fixed pixel width? What if a 30″ monitor comes along and wishes to view it?

(John James J … yes, I believe you are seeing what you say you are seeing, for sure! Maybe my problem is that I have too generous a browser window … but on the BuddyPress site this top bar expands to fit whatever size window I make in my monitor … but my own version of the theme doesn’t do this, nor does the “out of box” installation of BuddyPress … there is always a gap!)

Thanks for the code!

OK so I redid both my wordpressMU and buddypress installations and the same thing is happening. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing wrong. Anytime I click on ANYTHING under the my account tab I get the

Not Found

The requested URL /wp/members/admin/friends was not found on this server.

Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at codyconnect.com Port 80

I’ve followed the installation instructions to a T and am still having the issue? My page is http://codyconnect.com/wp

I can log in and get to the dashboard just fine, but I can’t click on anything under My Account without getting the 404 error. Please someone help, this is getting very frustrating.

I followed the instruction listed here exactly https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypress/

except for step 7, but even if I do step 7 I still get the same thing, HELP!!!

No, it’s not resolved yet. I can’t seem to get this to work. I’m still not sure which CSS attributes are controlling the width of the search-login-bar at the top of the page, despite having looked them over in Firebug. Here is the CSS code I see when I use the inspector to examine the Buddypress web site:

#search-login-bar { custom.css (line 70)

background:#EBEBEB none repeat scroll 0 0;

border-top-color:#0090FF;

}

#search-login-bar { base.css (line 43)

background:#FFF9DF none repeat scroll 0 0;

border-top:10px solid #F7740A;

padding:7px 10px;

}

And then here is the code I see when I inspect the same element in my installation:

#search-login-bar { [base.css (line 50)]

background:#CCCCCC none repeat scroll 0 0;

border-top:10px solid #CA3495;

padding:7px 20px;

}

Any tips would help (I know this is a totally elementary, if not kindergarten-level, question!).

Thanks.

Ok, I’ll clean everything up and start over and see where I’m at after that. Thanks for your help Jeff

Jeff-

Yes I have a .htaccess file in my wmpu root folder.

Also under BuddyPress > General Settings > Select Theme to use for BuddyPress generate pages I have BuddyPress Default Member Theme 1.0 selected there.

I’ve also went under Appearance > themes and selected BuddyPress Default Home Theme 1.0 by Andy Peatling

I’m still not sure whats going on here. I was playing with it last night, still no luck.

awesome! i was able to drag this code around.

<?php if ( function_exists(\'bp_wire_get_post_list\') ) : ?>

<?php bp_wire_get_post_list( bp_current_user_id(), bp_word_or_name( __( \"My Wire\", \'buddypress\' ), __( \"%s\'s Wire\", \'buddypress\' ), true, false ), bp_word_or_name( __( \"No one has posted to your wire yet.\", \'buddypress\' ), __( \"No one has posted to %s\'s wire yet.\", \'buddypress\' ), true, false), bp_profile_wire_can_post() ) ?>

<?php endif; ?>

only thing is it brings the whole wire with it. i want to move just the post box. or even just move the post box at the top of wire instead of it being at the bottom.

maybe it will be easier to understand if I phrase my question a different way.

what part of what file do I have to comment out in order to setup buddypress groups to ‘NOT’ create a group forum when the group is created?

I’m sorry for such a simple question, but I have spent the entire afternoon reading through the buddypress code and so far I cannot figure out what file creates the groups forums when a group is created.

I’m sure once I know, it’s gonna be one of those duhhh kinda answers LOL
