BuddyPress.org

If it’s not listed or announced on bpdev, then obviously not.

It’s not good only to depend on Nicola for various plugins, but I can’t code. If any php/wpmu/buddypress developers are reading this, please consider giving some hands.

Just for good measure, I would log into WPMU’s backend and reselect your bpmember theme. This has worked for some people.

If that does not work, then I’m afraid it’s back to square one. Delete everything, including your MySQL DB, download a new copy of WPMU and follow the install instructions for MU. Then, once WPMU is up and running, manually download BuddyPress, and follow the install instructions in the readme.txt file.

It sounds like a pain, but since this is a fresh install without any data worth keeping, it should go pretty quickly. Something must have gone wrong with your install.

Let me know how what happens.

Kit-

That is correct. Make a copy of the bpmember theme, rename your copy, make whatever changes you want to it, and you have–in effect–a custom theme! Just make sure you keep your new theme in the /wp-content/bp-themes/ directory.

Once ready for use, log into WPMU’s backend and navigate to “BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages”. You should see your newly-named theme as an option in the dropdown box. Select it, save, and you’re ready to go.

It’s worth doing and it is easy.

Sorry, still new to BuddyPress forums…

WPMU 2.71

BP 1.0

No custom themes

No 3rd party plugins

Not sure how to find errors in log files…

Hay,

How is it going with the BuddyPress for WordPress (not MU)?

When can we download it?

Cheers, P

Since I can’t peer into this site’s base.css file for the theme I’m wondering how to change that attribute … ?

Ah, but you can!

For all CSS and template design issues, I highly recommend that you use the Firefox browser with the Firebug Add-on. WIth FIrebug installed in Firefox, you can see where page elements inherit their CSS–the file names, the file contents, etcetera. You can even make changes to the CSS selector parameters and see how that affects the design.

So, when you pull up any buddypress.org page, or any webpage at all, you can use Firebug within Firefox to see how the CSS selectors are styled.

The theme where this is located is in bpmember, not bphome. I’m just not firing on all cylinders today.

Are your instructions to show me how to do that?

Yes, you can make these edits in the bpmember theme directly. Just make sure that you have a backup before changing.

Also, please realize, that if you alter the standard themes and do not rename them, then the next you upgrade BuddyPress, you will lose your theme changes if you copy over the default themes.

Freaking Wildchild-

Since Donncha’s WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin (aka the sunrise domain plugin) allows you to map a blog to another domain, this could be the issue. I would post on the WPMU forum or, better yet, contact Donncha directly to ask for his assistance. http://ocaoimh.ie/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/

This is beyond scope of the BuddyPress support forums.

Codyb-

Thanks for the detailed response!

A few more questions:

1. Did you copy over to WPMU’s root the .htaccess file that comes with the download?

2. Did you select the BuddyPress member theme in WPMU’s backend via “BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages”?

KitWit-

Okay, I’ve made a mistake. I did not even notice that you had linked to the members’ theme, not the home theme.

My widget is for the home them. What you’re asking about is not a widget. It is a coded into the /directories/members/index.php file in the bphome theme.

You can make your own custom theme, edit this out, and get what you want:

<div class="item-meta"><span class="activity"><?php bp_the_site_member_last_active() ?></span></div>



<div class="field-data">

<div class="field-name"><?php bp_the_site_member_total_friend_count() ?></div>

<div class="field-name xprofile-data"><?php bp_the_site_member_random_profile_data() ?></div>

</div>

Just make sure to place your custom theme in the proper place and then select it in WPMU’s backend via “BuddyPress > General Settings > Select theme to use for BuddyPress generated pages”

I’m glad your BuddyPress install is functioning once again.

As you have already done, one of the first places to begin troubleshooting BuddyPress issues is by deactivating plugins one at a time until the problem goes away. If it does not go away, then the issue may be BuddyPress related.

I do not see any BuddyPress widgets entitled “Featured Members” in my v1.0 install of BP. Are you using a version newer than v1.0 from trunk?

Either way, the widget I linked you to will solve your problem.

I’ve just created my site, check it out!

It is still a work in progress

We don’t have sufficient information to provide any assistance. Please answer these questions:

1. Which version of WPMU are you running?
2. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WPMU, and if so, from which version and how?
3. Did you have WPMU functioning properly before installing and upgrading BuddyPress?
4. Which version of BuddyPress are you running?
5. Did you log in as site admin in WPMU’s backend and activate BuddyPress?
6. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?
7. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or custom themes?
8. Are there are errors in your server’s log files, and if so, what are they?

KitWit-

Where did you get this Featured Members widget version? It does not look like mine.

My Featured Members widget only show’s avatar and name. You can find it here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-featured-members-widget/

JadedEvan,

Regarding the elusive die(‘0’) in bp-core-ajax-handler.php, if you have an alternative that you feel works better or will be more future proof, drop a ticket in the Trac with a fix or a patch.

The BP 1.0 release is the first stable, reliable, full working version of the core of BuddyPress. Right now there are a number of specific things going on behind the scenes, including security sweeps, code cleaning and beautification, bug hunting, etc…

It is anticipated that there will be a certain amount of bugs and quirks even in the 1.0 version of BuddyPress, and the dev team is still steadily submitting patches and updating the trunk almost daily with little changes and tweaks.

I know this probably does some harm to server security and makes the data integrity a little bit more questionable.

As you recognize, increasing programming flexibility at the expense of platfrom security is not the proper tradeoff. Your request for the ability of BuddyPress plugins to make cross-domain application calls is such a security risk.

As an Open Source project, you are free to hack the core features of your copy of BuddyPress as you see fit. Just remember that if your server and data get compromised because of your hacks, we will not be able to offer any support.
