BuddyPress.org

@Timschmi

That is so great! Will you be making the plugin available to the community at large? It’s not that tightly integrated (you have to essentially leave BuddyPress and come back)… but it’s better than nothing!

Perhaps integrated Wiki’s will arrive in a future version of BuddyPress (Please BP team). I would envision them appearing within Groups. So group would navigation be “Home, Forum, Wire, Wikis, Members”.

For now you must use WPMU 2.7.1. Down the road BuddyPress will work on single WordPress.org installs but not currently and not for 1.0 release.

@Andy: I\’ll be installing a test build very soon.

My steps will be:

• Install test WPMU+Buddypress
• test
• if this works, migrate all data
• test
• if this works, perfect .. problem solved
• if it doesn\’t, it\’s a problem in the codebase…

Everyone having this problem seems to be having existing data; which might be the first thing to look out for …

It\’s for sure not the themebug with not accepting dashes in filenames; I tested, because my theme is called artistblog-v2 (yep, with a dash).

The problem was not solved, I\’ve noticed a NEW problem even, with the preview not showing up in the right frame (rather in the full frame, making it unable to click the \”use theme\” button), but that could be my theme too which needs to be modified.

Maybe something to think about, themes which don\’t get loaded in the lightbox, what about those to activate them ?

Maythil-

I’m not entirely sure if I understand your issue with the Buddy bar. It is set so that it automatically resizes if you reduce the width of your browser’s window.

Give it a try. Drag the bottom, right corner of your browser window to the left, thus making the browser window narrower. The Buddy bar “resizes” as you narrow the window.

This looks exactly like the bug mentioned in https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2314 ; did any of you find any solution for this ?

I wonder if this has to do with the bug we’re having at https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2314 …

Anyone found a solution for 404 for any slugs ?

ever heard of last fm?

http://last.fm

they offer the exact thing you describe

ok, now it works. thanks, andy

I followed it line by line, Andy,

bu there is no way I can see the buddypress theme.

But buddyptress is shown as a plugin activated.

The funny thing is pages other than the main page do show the buddypress theme.

Please see the difference between the following twi inks.

Thanks for the terrific instructions!

My only question is after WPMU 2.7.1, BuddyPress RC-2 and BBpress Alpha 6 is installed and functional, is how to include the Forum button on the home and member templates or did not follow the instructions properly?

Thanks Again

I’ve just checked and replying to messages works fine on the default themes. I’ll take a look what the problem is on buddypress.org – but it’s most likely because I forgot to mention something that needs to be upgraded.

Before you report bugs, always check to see if it broken using the default themes. Most of the time you’ll find those bugs are because you haven’t updated your old theme properly.

Be sure to put your bp-custom.php in /plugins/ and not the /buddypress/ directory so it is not overwritten on upgrades. You’ll need to add a comment header and activate it in RC-2.

Phluxor: disabling the admin bar is easy, add this to your bp-custom.php or your wp-config.php:

define( 'BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR', true );

I installed WPMU 2.7.1 and then BP 1.0 RC-2, but nothing happens.

Neither ‘themes’ no ‘appearance’ shows BP RC2 is installed.

Further, plugins show “You do not appear to have any plugins available at this time”.

It obviously is not as easy as you have mentioned.

here’s the solution in case you missed it. and for all others with the same issue.

I had the same issue and this time around my BP core hacks are really at a minimum (but I still had to hack ! ). Mostly my hacks are to do with disabling some includes (like the admin bar – I wish there was just a switch which isn’t too hard to do).

As Jeff says, I used bp-custom.php for my custom functionality but that only goes so far… You OK with that approach as long as the core BP functions uses a filter or action. If that’s not the case, then your options are gone. What I ended up doing in a couple of cases, was just copy the core BP function into my bp-custom.php file, rename it and change the functionality then call that one instead of the original from my template. Again, this only works if you’re going to change the template functions only. If you need to dig deeper then I have no grand ideas left…

Maxaud-

Yeah, hacking core files is never a good idea. That is why there’s a slick, simple solution!

Place all your custom code in a file called bp-custom.php. It should be located in /wp-content/plugins/ not in the BuddyPress directory. This file will load before the BuddyPress components load.

The file has to be named bp-custom.php and placed where I indicated.

Now, when you update BuddyPress, since your custom code exists outside of the BuddyPress directory, you’ll be fine.

agree with @belogical. Sometimes it’s user error or there’s an easy fix.
