BuddyPress.org

I need to figure this out as well. I think this thread has some clues.

How does this work in WPMU/BP? Where are the queries anyway? Should we use WPMU/BP specific tags/code instead? Are there code examples of common database requests somewhere?

Any pointers are very much appreciated.

Oh, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Trent, thank you sooo much!

But where do I put the plugin, and is there a specific name it should be?

Instead of talking, which we don\’t seem to be nicola created this while we were arguing on irc: http://buddypress.pastebin.com

I’m using that until whatever happens, happens. I started it with wpmu to wp abstraction functions. Functions that exist only in wpmu but have wp counterparts: get_blog_post($blog_id, $post_id) gets implemented as get_post($post_id). Things like that.

Follow the upgrade instructions:

Okay, next question:

1. Did you follow the instructions in the first post here under the section heading “If you are using your own customized themes”?

I’m a Media Temple fan – in my opinion it has some of the best control panel features available, and it’s GridServer(gs) is fantastic for a shared server. It is also very easy to upgrade from a (gs) to any of their higher hosting plans.

I’ve been using MT for about 4 or 5 years now and I’ve never had an issue. They are a little pricey, but I think you get what you pay for and more.

TMDHosting account, I got an account and planning on using them for BP with refer to they blog.

They provide good support for me on my problems.

Roger that fn I wrote was 3 months old. Things have changed in bp. All you need to do is add a filter to change the logo now.

Sorry for the late reponse. Your post got ‘spammed’ by akismet because of number of links in the post. The plugins in /mu-plugins don’t need a plugin header like that. Your code will translate better in the forums with backticks before and after.

Well, only the site admin(s) can activate or deactivate the BuddyPress plugin. So, members should not be able to selectively enable or disable individual components.

Register.php is a BuddyPress file whereas wp-signup.php is a WPMU file. If you use register.php, then wp-signup is automatically not used. In other words, you use one or the other. To choose to use wp-signup.php, you would need to delete register.php from your theme.

Many people have issues customize wp-signup.php. Therefore, I’d recommend using register.php and customize that file instead.

Well, I’ll chime in here. I prefer Slicehost.

It’s not for everyone. In fact, it’s not for most people. It is for us techie guys that want to control absolutely everything. It’s a company built by software developers for software developers.

When you purchase a slice, you have to install (yourself) the server OS, the web server, database servers, mail client, web packages, your custom files, etcetera. You are in total control of the environment. You basically build your own production box from scratch–although you actually are in control of a virtual machine on one of their servers unless you buy all the slices on a give physical box.

Blah, blah, blahbity, blah…

If any of this scares you, then Slicehost is not for you.

I have successfully intalled WPMu and BuddPress using subdomains. My host is a local one here in Central Virginia and they have been very kind and helpful.

Burt-

Well, that was one of my thoughts–and why I’m asking Grandslambert to clarify what he meant by

Using WPMU 2.7 and the latest TRUNK of bbPress

I assume he meant BuddyPress. If so, is he running WPMU 2.7 but with BP 1.0_RC2? Did he install the BP folder in the proper spot? You’ve seen my questions above.

But, I’m tired and JJJ had an intriguing idea as well. So, perhaps I should get some sleep tonight and all the problems of the universe will disappear overnight!

Failed opening required ‘BP_PLUGIN_DIR/…

Not using latest trunk because BP_PLUGIN_DIR is not defined or just installed in some fashion that bp-core.php isn’t running on all blogs which means the latest 2.7.1 wpmu isn’t running and the bp plugins aren’t sitewide.

maybe so?

@JJJ-

Hum, I guess that could help…

Grandslambert,

In your buddypress-user/functions.php, take out ALL of the code besides what you need to make your sidebar(s) for your widgets.

Forgot to mention that little part.

That sounds like an ajax issue to me, not related to 1and1 hosting.

Some initial questions:

1. Which versions of WPMU and BuddyPress are you running?
2. Have you enabled all of BuddyPress’ components?
3. Where did you install the suite of BuddyPress components?
4. Are you using custom themes of the standard themes that came with BuddyPress?

WPMU 2.7 and the latest TRUNK of bbPress

I assume you mean BuddyPress, and not bbPress. If so, then here are a few questions:

1. What do you mean by “latest TRUNK”? Did you actually download the BP trunk from trac as a zip or use SVN? Or, did you obtain BuddyPress from the big, orange Download button that can be found on the top of any BP page?
2. What version of BuddyPress are you using?
3. Where exactly did you place the BuddyPress folder?
4. You are using WPMU 2.7 and not WPMU 2.7.1-beta1 or -beta2, correct?

Jedbarish-

I’m not exactly sure what the issue is here. Perhaps this will help.

Since r1303 and WPMU 2.7.1-beta1, BuddyPress has been considered a single plugin that has multiple components. Once WPMU is upgraded, you install BuddyPress.

Then, you log in as site admin in WPMU backend and go to” Plugins > Installed” and activated BuddyPress. Once it’s activated, a new menu group is created at the bottom of the menu tree called “BuddyPress”.

You click on “BuddyPress > Component Setup” and you should see that all the BP components are enabled by default. It is in this admin screen where you can enable and disable individual components.

Does this answer you question?
