BuddyPress.org

I’ll be a tester

Not sure what you mean “really custom”?

@John: I wish I could find out, there are more people with the same problem; although it seems to be (only) with sites already having data in them…

@Andy: I’ve been copying over the database tables using phpmyadmin and by deleting entries I’ve found out the buddypress installation worked shortly. Too badly, I couldn’t redo the same routine …

I have a question about the loader.php in the css directory.

I followed all steps of the instruction:

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypress/upgrading-from-rc-1/

However my directories were messed up. The styles weren’t applied. I figured out that it has something to do with the loader.php in the css directory.

My question is if it is possible to just copy the RC2 /css/loader.php in my customn theme /css/ folder? I’m afraid, cuz the new loader.php is much smaller with significant less file imports (where are the imports for e.g. grups.css / blogs.css /friends.css / wire.css)?

count me in, please

If removing those lines fixes the problem for you, I would say remove those lines.

Those are settings that need to be modified to correctly for your particular install. WordPress and bbPress will often times suggest those settings for you, but it may not have gotten them correct.

I think I understand what you’re saying, and honestly it doesn’t resonate in my mind how this could happen unless your cookie settings are mucked up. WordPress and BuddyPress use the same login and logout functions, they are performing the exact same tasks.

Try deleting all of the cookies for your particular site, and try logging in/out again.

Have you attempted to integrate bbPress or have you modified your cookie settings in any way?

Do you have BuddyPress Blogs enabled on your site? Does this happen for every user on your site?

Which versions of BuddyPress and WPMU are you using?

me to,

does the widget appear on the users main profile page?

I think the reason you haven’t gotten a response here is that people are having trouble understanding what you are talking about. Are you using wpmu 2.7.1 as well as bp RC2? wpmu 2.7.1 is required.

This will pretty much allow for unlimited access to any BuddyPress data from any other part of your site in a very straight forward and easy way.

Outstanding work and great write-ups too!

…and find the topic that explains how to change the BuddyPress logo.

Ghost in the machine?

No WordPress/BuddyPress/bbPress install can push out an update, only pull.

That means you have to request the files yourself.

I’d be interested.

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):

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.
