BuddyPress.org

It sounds like your user integration is not right. Go over everything again step by step in the topic https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=471 again.

Here’s two functions that change the way the admin bar displays user blogs.

// sort array of blog objs by $blog->role according to the order of $blog_roles

// roles not included in $blog_roles array will not be displayed

function filter_blogs_by_role($blogs){

global $bp, $blog_roles;



$blog_roles[] = __( 'Admin', 'buddypress' );

$blog_roles[] = __( 'Editor', 'buddypress' );

$blog_roles[] = __( 'Author', 'buddypress' );

$blog_roles[] = __( 'Contributor', 'buddypress' );

$blog_roles[] = __( 'Subscriber', 'buddypress' );



// get roles

foreach ($blogs as $blog){

$blog->role = get_blog_role_for_user( $bp->loggedin_user->id, $blog->userblog_id );

}



// eliminate roles not in $blog_roles

foreach ($blogs as $key => $value){

if (!in_array($value->role, $blog_roles))

unset($blogs[$key]);

}



// sort by $blog_roles sequence if there are any left

if ($blogs){

usort($blogs, 'compare_roles');

}



return $blogs;

}



// i love php.net. stolen from php.net usort manual, user mkr at binarywerks dot dk's

// contribution for priority list comparision function.

function compare_roles($a, $b){

global $blog_roles;



foreach($blog_roles as $key => $value){

if($a->role==$value){

return 0;

break;

}



if($b->role==$value){

return 1;

break;

}

}

}

You can put those two fns in your bp-custom.php file. The fn filter_blogs_by_role() does the work and the fn compare_roles() is just a helper fn.

filter_blogs_by_role() takes the array of blog objects returned by the fn get_blogs_of_user() in the admin bar’s bp_adminbar_blogs_menu() fn. It first gets all the roles for the user’s blogs and then removes all of the roles that are not listed in the $blog_roles array. That way you can eliminate some roles such as ‘Subscriber’ if you want. Next it sorts the blogs by the sequence of roles defined in $blog_roles. However you list them in that array is how they will display in the admin menu.

1) So, put those two fns in bp-custom.php

2) Arrange the roles defined by $blog_roles in the fn filter_blogs_by_role() however you want the roles to appear in the menu

3) Comment out the roles you do *not* want to appear in the menu

4) Put the call to filter_blogs_by_role() on line 133 in bp-core-adminbar.php like this:

if ( !$blogs = wp_cache_get( 'bp_blogs_of_user_' . $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'bp' ) ) {

$blogs = get_blogs_of_user( $bp->loggedin_user->id );

wp_cache_set( 'bp_blogs_of_user_' . $bp->loggedin_user->id, $blogs, 'bp' );

}



$blogs = filter_blogs_by_role($blogs);

Just in case the forums trash the code I also stuck it here: http://pastie.org/445729

When I go into bbpress admin settings, there is no option to enable xmlrpc and pingbacks. Why and what should I do?

1. So far, WPMU, BuddyPress and bbpress have installed.

2. I can create forums in Groups on BP, but I can\’t see them on bbpress

3. When I try to enter a post in the Group forum in BP, I get the red square and error message: “There was an error posting that topic.”

4. Also, even if I’m logged in as admin in BP (which is mapped to Keymaster in bbpress), I still have to sign in again when I reach the bbpress forums.

5. This leads me back to: xmlrpc and pingbacks (why are the checkboxes not visible?)

You can pick and choose which bp components to install. If all you want is Friends and XProfile then only install those. You do not have to use the bp home theme at all. It’s optional. You can use whatever wp themes you like on your blogs.

The member theme is not optional however. That’s what gives your users access to the profiles and friend functionality.

yeah, I installed about 6+ times and made it work in the end, but don\’t know what the difference is to the 5 times before that. I was going to write down the exact steps I used but then it was so late and promptly forgotten the next day and now it\’s a week later and gosh, no way to exactly trace back… the only thing I remember was that I simplified and actually did LESS than some of the posts suggest. also, as with the alpha I was constantly getting \’table not found\’ error regarding the user table during install, so I ended up not going with 2 db\’s but added this one to the wpmu db – no more error during install and smooth sailing between the two (except that I still need to put the cookies in, as it will not remember as whom I\’m logged in or if at all when switching between buddypress and bbpress… as an admin and a regular user this can become tricky).

not very helpful at this point (sorry about that), I know, and I dread the time that I will have to go through that setup again, but at least I made it work on this one

LOL!

Wow, yes, I sure would be mega-thrilled if the theme from that JPG were released. Frankly, I don’t even want to launch my BuddyPress community without some kind of cohesive theme where blog owners don’t have to do any configuration.

Is there anything similar or functional available now? Also, were my procedural posts just goofy, or could some of my suggestions work with minimal effort?

It’s neither actually anymore.

It involves “deep integration” on the bbPress side, including WordPress/BuddyPress inside bbPress, and then making a new theme for bbPress that matches.

Trent and I are working on a comprehensive walk-through on how to do this soon.

First, please read this entire thread (all the posts) at least two times through before starting: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1994

Then read through these links:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WPMU

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1285#post-9999

http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/installing-through-svn/

Once you’ve done that, have a SVN client installed, and feel confident, go back to the first link in this post and follow the instructions.

From where do I get the most recent versions?

Those links are provided in the detailed instructions contained in the first link above.

Read this thread and see if that helps:

Damn, I”m bit confused. I’m using RC1. Please answer this simple question:

Q> When the stable version of Buddypress is released, will it be possible to migrate to the stable version from RC1?

I’m sure the database tables will be altered. So when I migrate to the stable version, will I be required to do custom database migrations? Or will it be handled by the upgrade script?

We are posting around each other.

Good point, Burt!

Will it be safe to have latest SVN version on production site? I am not sure about it so asking..

Safe? Well, both the latest WPMU branch and BuddyPress trunk versions are still in development. It is always a gamble to use pre-release packages in production.

By the way, BuddyPress RC1 is not production ready. So, you take risks running it on a production site. Once BuddyPress has its first public release, you can then start deploying it into a production environment.

However, it sounds like you’re already using BP on a production site. You might want to consider temporarily shutting that aspect of your site until you either fix this issue, or until BuddyPress is officially released and you’ve upgraded to the pubic release version.

Getting back to the invite friends plugin issue, did you just delete it or did you first deactivate it then delete it? Have you done any updates to WPMU since deletion?

Awaiting the member theme to look like new buddypress member theme ie one column.

There was a recent change (Changeset 1295) to bp-blogs.php that stopped spam comments from being recorded in activity streams.

As Burt points out, newer versions of BP no longer have individual user activity tables, but I suppose this bug combined with an older version of BP could expose you to significant spam problems. I cannot verify this without looking at the older code. It is just a hunch.

I would recommend taking your site offline (if in production) and then upgrading your installation following the instructions found here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1994

We are using blogs since 1999/2000. We ran on Userland Manila, then on individual WP sites. We moved to WPMU a while ago and now “upgraded” that with BuddyPress.

We need to change the organisation and update the templates a bit to better address the new users to the site (as it is not a general purpose social community), but I am waiting fo the dust to settle with BP 1.0, so that an own templates will be more stable.

I am currently transferring all the old Manila sites to WPMU.

Update:

I overlooked the “Please also make sure you are not using the MU trunk, but the 2.7 branch.” — I was using the WPMU trunk. So I “downgraded” to the 2.7 branch.

Now I have “Activate XYZ plugin sitewide”-Options in the Plugin area. I still have a single BP-Plugin though. I activated the BP Plugin sitewide. And it seems to worl fine.

But I ran into following problem:

I needed to update “/wp-includes/capabilities.php” to the one of the trunk-Version. The one of the 2.7-branch gave me this error on all pages:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in

/www/wpmu/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 537



Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in

/www/wpmu/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 537



Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in

/www/wpmu/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 539

I am confused by step #4:

Log in as a site admin, and head to the \”Plugins\” admin panel. You will need to activate each plugin (activate CORE first).

In my context the BuddyPress plugin in shows up as a single plugin – I can’t enable “each plugin and activate CORE first”.

I also seem to have the problem, that all my MU sites are “out of the BP context” now. Their activity/comments do now show up in the global activity stream anymore until I manually enable the (singular) BuddyPress-Plugin on each MU site. (see this thread here https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2122).

Odd….

For BP there is – https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/1324/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip.

But if you’re going to use cutting-edge development versions, I would strongly recommended using SVN to get the files out directly as then it’s really, really easy to upgrade to latest versions.
