Topic: 404 after a reinstall
This is regarding kindiefest.com.
We had a working BuddyPress installation and then the hosting account got hacked. After some wrangling, we were able to get the domain back and had a pretty recent backup. We now have WordPress back up and running, BuddyPress is installed, and all of the users are there, but all of the BuddyPress links went to a 404. I mucked around a bit in the .htaccess file as suggested here:
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/404-on-every-link/
and now get a 500 error instead. The .htaccess file right now is:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteBase /wordpressRewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]# END WordPress
I’d sure appreciate any hints. Thanks!
@pcwriter et al:
A few people have asked about removing the “view” link in the activity stream, and those pesky, good for nothing permalink pages that it leads to.
This little snippet in your functions.php will remove the link from your activity stream output:
`
// removes the view button
function no_permalink($content)
{
return “”;
}add_filter(‘bp_activity_permalink’, ‘no_permalink’);
`Hey guys, I’m working on a plugin that is an adaptation of ravatar (which was built for for WordPress 2.5). I realise its been out of development for a while, but I’ve done some code changes and have it working on the latest 3.x WordPress – I wanted to use my own random (wavatar) type system where I design different head graphics and have them alternate colour/background etc. as I grew tired of the wavetar effect and wanted my own graphic.
Wondering if people are interested in this as a public release?
UPDATE 04/02/2013: Firstly just want to apologise for the delay – ended up getting side-tracked with a large site/project. However I just thought I’d mention that I will endeavour to get this up and will create a new topic when this happens. All the code is there on my development machine… I just wish I had more time to add in a proper backend for it!
Since the documents here (http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/faqs/) are getting rearranged (Cool job Mercime and Boone!), maybe some of the answers can be extended and clarified. Here is an example of one that needs clarification and an extension.
Is BuddyPress a forum script?
BuddyPress is a social networking plugin for WordPress. It is not a forum script. A stripped-down forum is utilized in the BuddyPress Groups component. However, if you are looking for a traditional forum (setting up forum categories, forum administration, etc.), you can try Simple:Press or installing a standalone version of bbPress.

Maybe additional information is needed. For example, BP uses wp_users and not bb_users. Also, maybe a link to the development of the new bbPress plugin could be included. Finally, links to topic threads already discussing the integration of bbPress standalone (such as http://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/using-an-existing-bbpress-installation/) and SimplePress forums would be helpful.Maybe this thread could be used to edit and write a “better” answer to the question. We could choose one FAQ – clean it up and move to the next one – thereby helping Boone and Mercime.
Just a thought

Topic: Group updates in Camino
Does anyone use Camino? Some of my users do and they’re getting an error when they try to post an update to a group’s home page/activity stream. I was running buddypress 1.2.5 (I think, whatever was the highest version compatible with wpmu 2.9.2) and camino was posting all updates as a single word: “undefined”. Users can reply to items in the activity stream no problem. Now I’ve updated to wp 3.0.1 multisite, and buddypress to 1.2.5.2 and Camino is still not posting updates correctly, but now it won’t post anything at all, and says “Please enter some content to post” instead of posting single word ‘undefined’ messages.
Hi Friends,
I have recently started plugin development for Buddypress. I have fair knowledge of PHP and understand basics of Plugin development. Please can you help me with certain queries below:
1. I understand using action hooks I can call my own function, but how can say that call my function after or before the action hook. e.g. I want to display new fields / text in User profile page so I’m attaching my function in action hook ‘xprofile_template_loop_end’, but this writes all the fields and ‘Save’ button and then calls my function so my fields/text comes after ‘Save’ button. Am I using correct hook? Or there should be different way?
2. How can I know in my function (to take appropriate action) the current selected option by user. e.g. action hook ‘xprofile_template_loop_end’ can be called in display and edit profile, how can I know in my function that it is edit or just display?
3. How can I add new fields on a page and database thru plugin and not manually editing the page?Appreciate your help.
thanks & regards,
AshwaniTopic: Ban and Kick User is Broken
I have googled the inter-web and could not get a straight answer on how to solve this problem. A lot of people have reported that the kick and ban features are broken. It says that the user is banned bu they can log back into the forums and continue to post. I have disabled all plug ins and still have the same issue. Has anyone come across the fix for this or have it working? It would appear that it is a bug or an issue with buddypress it’s self, please help!
