BuddyPress.org

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.

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.

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”?

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?

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.

Okay, before we can assist further, we need more information. Please answer these questions:

1. You’re positive that you’re running WordPress Mu and not single-version WP?
2. Assuming the answer to number 1 is yes, then 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?

I’m closing this thread as it is not a BuddyPress support question. If you’re interested in providing services, contact member via the message component of BP.org.

Enlightenmental1, in case you did not know, there is a Jobs Board here: https://buddypress.org/groups/buddypress-job-board

Your answer is in this forum thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2572

The reason you cannot find a directory called “members” is because /members/ is a slug and not a directory. Here’s an article that might shed some light: https://buddypress.org/blog/how-to/customizable-slugs-in-buddypress/

you just need to edit your Members-Theme and move the “post to wire box/function” to where you want it.

bp-themes/buddypress-member/profile/index.php

on the very bottom of the page, you’ll see an IF statement “bp_wire_get_post_list”

just move that where you want it, be sure to keep it in the right DIVs

Hi again

I made some mistakes:

– asume that the upgrade from RCx to v1 was simply copying files over the old ones and didn’t noticed the change in the setup procedure to /wp-content/plugins/buddypress

– Also is posible that as my MU base was 2.7 it messed a bit too

– Tampering the themes fields in the db with a non ortodox setup

I started the intall process all over and it works fine again.

As a final test I tried to swap the old DB for the new one but I get again messages like the BP_PLUGIN_DIR path.

Just if helps …

Regards,

you would edit your bp bp-themes/ or theme/buddypress-home/

depending on where you want it.

you could also add the “tweet” stuff directly to the functions.php file

/themes/buddypress-home/home.php

(the above is the home page, which calls the left,center,right sidebars)

you could manually insert your code there.

there’s a few different way to do that…. some would say creating a plugin/function/bp-custom code is the best
