BuddyPress.org

BuddyPress offers no additional permissions or restrictions settings at the moment. Everything you need can be found within WPMU itself, or bbPress Admin itself.

At the moment…

I’m having the same problem. I just installed BuddyPress 1.0rc2 today, and it’s the first WPMU install for me, and obviously the first BP install as well. I’ve been running WP for over 2 years though, on the same server (different domain), with complete success.

The install seemed to go fine, and I followed the instructions to also use the BP-home theme for the WPMU home page as well (it fails with any of the 4 choices of home page themes).

The site comes up correctly in IE7. In Firefox (3.0.10) and Chrome (2.0.174.0), no CSS gets loaded.

I’m running this on CentOS 5.2, using NginX 0.7.53. WP runs perfectly.

It’s not an “access” problem. Firebug shows that the CSS file is read correctly (and I can see all of the lines in there, so NginX is serving up the CSS). But, for whatever reason, FF and Chrome both decide that it’s not CSS, and just ignore the styles completely (Firebug says that there are no style elements on the page).

Looking at the NginX debug logs, IE takes the css file with an “Accept: */*” and FF takes it with an “Accept: text/css”. Otherwise, I don’t see any obvious differences.

If I code up my own html file, and use the exact same syntax for the css <link> line that BP generates, FF will _correctly_ parse the css file.

The only thing that seems strange in the BP generated code is that the HTML fails the W3C validator for including an “id=_wpnonce” in the hidden search form field _two times_. But, if I remove one of those lines, FF still fails to parse the css.

Here are the links (the site has zero in it at the moment):

http://songsandjingles.com/wordpress-mu/

Here is a link to my “test” html file, which loads the same css file (where I added yellow as the background color in custom.css):

http://songsandjingles.com/wordpress-mu/testme.html

Just to show that the css file is accessible:

http://songsandjingles.com/wordpress-mu/wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/style.css

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

P.S. The most obvious difference between my tiny HTML file and the generated one is that I have no DOCTYPE or “profile=” in mine…

The blog tables are WPMU so it’s installing WPMU from scratch then trying to copy over DB tables that I’m talking about, not BuddyPress.

You probably did not get any response concerning this issue since it is a WPMU plugin-specific problem and not BuddyPress.

If you have specific questions about a given WPMU plugin, the best place to ask them is usually on the WPMU forum. In fact, the creator of the WP Super Cache plugin, Donncha, will be more likley to see your question there than here!

depends if you want to hack the bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php

you can hide the logo from there, and just hand code a \\\”home\\\” link

you would also want to give it the same class=\\\”\\\” as the other non-dropdown links

like this:

<li class="no-arrow">< a href="/groups">Search Groups</ a>

Is there a Shortcut available to reference to the Template/Theme directory?

I tried something like this, but unfortunately there is no BP_TEMPLATE_URL available:

‘echo ‘root_domain . ‘”><img id=”admin-bar-logo” src=”‘ . apply_filters( ‘bp_admin_bar_logo_src’, BP_TEMPLATE_URL . ‘/images/admin_bar_logo.gif’ ) . ‘” alt=”‘ . apply_filters( ‘bp_admin_bar_logo_alt_text’, __( ‘BuddyPress’, ‘buddypress’ ) ) . ‘” />‘;

?>’

Does anyone knows the correct Tag for this? I also want to move the admin_bar_logo.gif into my theme directory.

Isuru-

Welcome to BuddyPress! I’m sorry it has taken this long to answer your question.

First let me answer this question:

do i need to edit the bp-core component and bp-xprofile too?

You should not edit any of the core BuddyPress components as your changes will be lost the next time you update BP. Instead, you can either take advantage of the bp-custom.php file (detailed here), or create your own custom component.

can someone expalin me the use of bp-xprofile component.

Here’s some information on BuddyPress’ profile features that may help answer this question.

also, i want to create my own component

There is a specially-created tool for this called the BuddyPress Skeleton Component for plugin developers. Using this series of files, you can create your own custom BP component. There is a download link on that page.

Wow, I too haven’t used IRC in a decade.

I would rather hang out here and talk BP. Seems less painful.

Again, will this badly needed functionality be part of the upcoming Buddypress 1.0 final?

Will the option to restrict the members, groups and blogs sections to members-only be part of Buddypress 1.0 final?

Thanks Erich (assuming I am the Matt you were referring to!)

I think you are talking about threaded responses.

As far as I know, bbpress does not do those. Also, (as far as I know) it does not alert you when someone has replied to your post.

I have seen these features mentioned in bbpress wishlists before. Hopefully someday they will get added.

I am completely new to bbpress so I am not sure of their future feature plans.

Strange – automatic install worked for me – perhaps your server is not setting permissions on files correctly?

Great to hear. Nice job.

If I’m understanding you correctly, you want member blogs to use the same theme that you use for your home theme. If this is correct, here’s how you can accomplish that.

In wp-content >> themes, rename the default folder. Something like old-default works well so you remember what it is.

Then, rename the folder of the theme that you want to be set as default.

i.e. rename buddypress-home to default

Make sure you check out the new paths compared to the old ones. If your directories aren’t named correctly and things aren’t in the right spot, it’ll kick those 404’s out all over the place.

i.e. make sure your buddypress stuff is all in wp-content >> plugins >> buddypress >> “all files” vs the old mu-plugins >> “all files” path.

Maybe someone else knows, does this database fit perfectly with the old versions? Could Wildchild do the 100% fresh install and then just put the database data in?

Have you made ANY changes to your themes? i.e. Changed div’s by adding or removing any of them? Changed anything in the stylesheets? One wrong letter or character can break everything. (believe me I know lol)

I may be mistaken but I’m pretty sure the home theme runs for everything except what you see when at http://yoursite.com/members/”whatever&#8221;

If you could either set up a test user for us or even just set the admin bar to show for logged out users, that’d be helpful.

as this is a forum, is there a chance to be able to reply directly to a forum-post ?

So that:

1)

everybody understand to which forum-post my post refers to.

2)

the person I am replying to will receive an e-mail which notifies him that I have posted a feedback to his entry ?

For example: look at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/forum/

Hi Matt,

very nice theme !

Does BP not have its own event-calendar build into it ?

Hi Andy,

is there a chance to have an “events-calendar per Group” ?

Many thanks,

Erich

Work in progress. You know how it goes.

Can I be put on the main list?
