Having problems uploading an avatar? Do they turn black? Do they not show up at all? Does the cropping tool malfunction?

Some good advice on how to change blogs.dir directory permissions: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1153

Here is a rule of thumb. You do not want to try uploading too big or too small of an avatar file. By default, BuddyPress sets the small avatar at 50 by 50 and the large avatar at 150 by 150. So, if your source image is smaller than 150 on at least one of its dimensions, you could have issues with creating the large avatar. If it is smaller than 50 on at least one of its dimensions, you could have issues with creating the small and large avatar.

Finally, if you are still having issues after following the linked advice, you may have a WPMU plugin conflict–especially if you are using any plugins for image manipulation or display. Here is a list of plugins that can cause conflicts that users have reported to date:

1. NextGen Gallery
2. WP-cycle
3. lightbox
4. Dynamic Content Gallery

To figure out if you have plugin issues, follow the standard WPMU protocol for determining plugin conflicts.

Oh. bin.buddypress.org of course.

EDIT: I said that with just a knee jerk reaction. Kind of a ‘not invented here’ thing. Now that I’ve had time to think why, I realize it’s because we do need to control it. In case nobody has noticed, we’re have the opportunity to *not* follow the rules for technical support and software development. The nature of buddypress, it’s social nature, gives us the opportunity to invent something truly different and useful.

Don’t ask me yet what that is yet but signs of it are beginning to appear.

Complaints about the bp.org group forums not being live yet. They aren’t just complaints. They seem to be us, struggling to accomplish something in a certain manner and knowing that the tools are dangling before us.

We’re discussing code collaboration, commenting, sharing solutions to user problems and questions. Solving things in front of people. How best to accomplish that with code paste bins.

Suggestions and approval of a ‘technical blog’ that will show people, by example, how to do things.

It’s like we’re all suffering some vague malaise and we sense where to find the remedy.

I agree. A technical blog is different than a codex page is different than a code snippet. I like the idea of using whichever makes the most sense. I also think a dev group forum would be very useful.

However, I believe we are specifically talking here about where to host a code snippet library.

I didn’t know we were being graded. Is there a curve? Seriously though. I see value to each approach. We’ll probably wind up using a combination of some if not all.

Burt, there is no all of the above on this test

Thanks Lance. Nice job.

I don’t like idea of permanently using outside paste bins right off the bat for the reasons you outlined. We’re already using them from time to time for temporary things. It’s just that, transient and temporary. I do like the idea of stuffing code on one for sharing and collaborating. Forums and blogs seem to hate code. A paste bin has lovely things like line numbers and syntax hilighting. Isn’t there a code editor built into wp itself? The regular one. I’ve never seen it since I’ve only worked with wpmu where it’s insanity to hand over the source code to a theme to all blog admins and give them a ‘save’ button.

I think the Codex pages should be sources of documentation and education not guides to implementation. That little tutorial I wrote today outlining how to mod the admin bar would be better suited as a blog post on that tech blog you mentioned.

I completely agree about the new FAQ sticky forum post. It only really solves my frustration at having to hunt the damn things down all the time.

A bp group forum like the one that exists would be an asset once Andy fires up the actual group forums. One problem/solution one thread.

So, it looks like I’m voting for all of the above.

Lance, thanks for doing this!

I prefer option three (3), the self-hosted code snippet library. I agree with your assessment of the benefits of controlling our own snippet repo. Also, I think that we should use pastebin.com since, like WordPress, it is licensed under GPL.

i noticed that when a user signs out and the “log out” is showing nothing happens when they click it…. you have to refresh teh page and have the “logout of facebook” showing for taht to work… i think its the same issue if they attempt to logout using the usual buddypress logouts

Ah. Cool. Probably does the same thing as the little filter above.

Hey Bpress-tr,

Good eyes! Please post this to Trac as a new ticket: https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket. Log in with the same user and password as here on BuddyPress.org.

Oh, I meant to say that my current problem is I can’t get a new registration to work. I’ve posted about it at:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2184

I guess I’m just excited and eager, but stuck and I can’t do anything until I get someone’s advise who’s been through this before

Happy building

This is my notice of a fresh install on

Its my first site, I’ll be relying heavily on these forums to get it to work, but its great to meet and greet everyone here.

Hi

I’m excited to be developing here

If you are using the standard BuddyPress Home theme that came with the BP trunk, then in each column of the homepage (left, center, right) you should see the following message:

Please log in and add widgets to this column.

You need to log in as admin and then go to Appearance > Widgets and add the “Recent Blog Posts” widget to whatever column you want.

Thord see this post here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2186

I am running the latest wordpress mu 2.7 and lates BP- rc1

What does “lates” mean? Do you mean that you’re running the latest BP version?

If so, do you mean that you obtained BuddyPress from the big, orange Download button? Or, did you upgrade from trunk?

Jugoretz-

There have been various messaging bug fixes to RC1 since it was packaged. Either you should upgrade to the newest trunk (read this thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2171 then this thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1994 ) or wait for a packaged zip of RC2.

Remember, BuddyPress has not yet been officially released as version 1.0. This means that it is a work in progress and changes are literally being made to it everyday. Running it in a production environment is strongly discouraged until it is officially released.

Sorry, Burtadsit, but can you break this down a bit more for the truly moronic like me? I’m having the same problem and I have installed vipers-video-quicktags which is nicely displaying all the various video icons in my visual editor. It is working correctly, but when the post is saved the code disappears as above. Now you say it’s a security hole. I don’t want to open up something bad, but I do want to easily add video to my posts. I don’t want to do anything with the forums.

Is this the entire code I put in a bp-custom.php file?:

function my_allowed_tags($allowedtags){

$allowedtags[’embed’] = array();

return $allowedtags;

}

add_filter( ‘edit_allowedtags’, ‘my_allowed_tags’ );

I’m confused as why you mentioned bp-forums.

And again, I really don’t want to open up something bad. What are the implications of adding this?

Thanks in advance. I know I ask pretty dumb questions.

BuddyPress RC-1 and WPMU 2.7

Jugoretz-

Which versions of BuddyPress and WPMU are you running?
