BuddyPress.org

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.

Hi Wythagy

The newest version requires WPMU 2.7 branch which is still in development (http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7/) as well as the latest BuddyPress (by which I mean the BuddyPress SVN trunk https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk).

If you are using BP RC1, then Welcome Pack doesn’t work full stop. Could you clarify what versions you are using so I can check stuff out? Thanks.

You have a blog that you allow people to have the role of Author. You want to restrict your authors to posting in certain categories only? Buddypress doesn’t have this capability but I’m sure you will be able to find such a plugin in the wp plugin directory: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

Well I got it activated by replacing…

require_once( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/buddypress/bp-core.php' );<br />

with this one:

require_once(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/mu-plugins/bp-core.php');<br />

but, I don’t see any options or anything on the admin side. I’m assuming some constants or global variables must have changed since I am using the latest release of BP…does anyone have an updated version of this plugin that works?

Okay so I have the latest BP, why am I getting…

Warning: require_once(/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /html/wp-content/plugins/welcome-pack.php on line 14

sorry i still dont understand exactly what it is this will enable, i kinda understand how xmlrpc works for wordpress to enable trackbacks but what will this do for us and buddypress??

uhhg. Wrecked my member theme. But I must say the structure is way better.

@johnjamesjacoby

How did you create that page: http://delsolownersclub.com/discussions

That’s exactly what I want to do on my site.

I’ve got @Burtadsit’s bbGroup plugin up and running.

How did you integrate it into your buddypress theme?

Is it a ‘page’ in the root blog or a special page?

Thx, Gordon

I created a function that lives in the BP_Activity_Activity class that gets recent group activity. I uploaded it as a patch in trac https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/668

get_sitewide_activity() returns all sorts of activity not related to that group. The new function that I uploaded gets just the activity for the specified group. If you apply that patch to the bp-activity-classes.php file and build some template php around it then you’ll get your activity display.

$activity = BP_Activity_Activity::get_activity_for_group( $site_groups_template->group, 2 );

That call above would work in the group directory template file. You’ll have to build something to display the returned $activity items like the site wide activity widget does.

See bp-activity-widgets.php for a guide. This little template tag below displays some raw unformated activity.

function my_the_site_group_activity($limit = 2){

global $site_groups_template;

$activity = BP_Activity_Activity::get_activity_for_group( $site_groups_template->group, $limit );

foreach ((array)$activity as $item){

echo apply_filters( ‘bp_activity_content’, bp_activity_content_filter( $item[‘content’], $item[‘date_recorded’], ”, true, false, true ) );

}

}

You can put that fn in your bp-custom.php file and try it out. I just stuck it in a div under the description tag in groups-loop.php for testing.

1) deactivate the plugins

2) removing them

3) remove themes

OPTIONAL:

4) Remove wp_bp_* tables
