BuddyPress.org

You must move your bp-custom.php out of /plugins/buddypress/ and into /plugins/

If you keep it in /plugins/buddypress/ it will be deleted when updating.

This is a bug in the libxml2 library on your installation.

You can upgrade this on your server – but – make sure you have enabled the “BuddyPress enable” plugin on the bbPress side, as this is a temporary fix for the problem.

I’ve hacked the hell out of RC-1

Freaking Wildchild, if you’re using the newest release (1.0 RC-2) then your buddypress stuff should be in wp-content >> plugins >> buddypress

If not using the new stuff, then sorry I’m of no help.

my default themes are the ones with rc2, but can’t reply. I’m certain because I had hard time fixing my css as I mistakenly deleted everything when I updated to rc2 official release.

I had this issue when messing with my template. I tried to put a wrapper around EVERYTHING and it sent the adminbar straight to the bottom of the page.

I am also very very interested in a wiki plugin for buddypress.

Instinct Entertainment (http://wp-wiki.org/) has produced a nice plugin, but it does not function fully in posts and pages. However, it’s really simple and nice.

Thanks Nicola for your update on this.

Maythil-

I hope you don’t think I was being snooty to you. Your issue was simply not clear to me.

Anyway, I now understand that you want the entire screen to be constrained to exactly 800 pixels in width, that you do not want the Buddy bar to be resized upon screen resizing.

There are a few ways to accomplish this. But, the best way is to create a CSS selector that will override the selector in the core file.

If you go to the admin-bar-logo.css file and look at the #wp-admin-bar selector, you’ll see that it has a width property set to 100%. This needs to be changed to your desired fixed width. But, do not change it within this file because it will be lost upon the next BuddyPress upgrade.

Instead, you place your custom CSS in the site-wide-sample.css file found in the BuddyPress-home/css directory. You must rename that file to site-wide.css. Now, your custom CSS selector will override the core BP CSS. Here’s what you’ll place in that file:

#wp-admin-bar { width: 800px !important; }

By the way, do you use Firebug with Firefox? If you don’t, it is a great tool. It not only allows you to find out within which files certain CSS selectors are located, but also to temporarily change them and see what impact they have on the design.

I hope this helps!

@Andy – yeah, I saw the admin bar disable trick after I posted – doh! Never mind, I took out some other things from bp-core.php anyway.

Oh yeah, another thing I found was that I had to change the include for bp-custom.php to:

include_once ‘bp-custom.php’;

as it gave me grief with redefining existing functions…

Cheers

I’m working on a “PRO” (and for pro i mean really deep integration) plugin that integrate MediaWiki and BuddyPress.

i’ll update you on this project, or see bp-dev.org for news

my admin bar is totally fucked since i am working with

wpmu 2.7.1

and buddypress rc2

the admin bar is as a menu at the footer of the theme

i am using everything standard with no plugin

Sounds to me like the stylesheet for your BuddyBar isn’t getting included or is missing.

The BuddyBar naturally appears at the bottom of the source. It is the stylesheet that styles it to appear at the top.

@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.
