BuddyPress.org

Is there any way tho, that I dont know if it will help with what he is asking but, to use a wordpress MU and Buddypress….aka set up buddypress on a different directory…and still be able to integrate it with the normal wordpress? What I mean is…SO that when people use their budypress accoutns, they can comment on a post from the normal wordpress and it will appear in their activity?

Plugins that are enabled site wide can only be disabled by a site administrator.

Above affects the new location: “Plugins” v.s. “MU-Plugins” for BuddyPress … You see this sentence after you install BuddyPress in the proper way

So, they couldnt be deactivated by ‘users’…

It is possible, to integrate bbPress + WordPress (MU), i did it my self already

And take a look @ Burtadsit .. You still need WPMU for right now, to run BuddyPress …

See this topic for info about that: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1994

bp does not run with the standalone version of wp yet. It requires wpmu right now.

That\’s better. Looking around.

EDIT: I took a look at that trac ticket and it specifically mentions changing the permalink structure to /%category%/ and that RC1 has problems loading the proper templates. It looks to me like that is what is happening in your case. It\’s like the comments.php template isn\’t being loaded. I\’m not finding any html structure from that template under your blog posts. No template no structure. https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/554

The only solution I can suggest to you is change the permalink structure back or install the trunk version of bp. Installing the trunk version means upgrading wpmu to the svn branch of 2.7, deleting bp from /mu-plugins and moving it to the new location in /plugins.

Chris I visited that website and it looks pretty good. I got a question tho, does it integrate with buddypress? Like, lets say I am in a chatroom, will people be able to see my profile over at Buddypress by clicking on my name on the chatroom?

This has been discussed here, and I belive it’s a bug since the release to the latest.

Someone else suggested another cropping tool (which I liked also), but not sure if Andy is going to implement it. I’m not either sure when this cropping bug is fixed completely for anyone using buddypress.

This cropping code is awesome… but not sure how to replace with the default cropping tool on buddypress.

This would be good like an adobe air desktop app…

I would say it would be in your best interests to get used to how the new versions of wpmu and buddypress work together, if what you want is to stay on top of the most recent bug fixes, etc…

Upgrading from RC1 is going to open a whole new set of questions though, as it’s not a super easy thing to do.

The nice thing about themes, they are just html. Which is free to look at and examine. Chances are if you take a look at the source, and spend a few minutes in an image editor you will find this “theme” pretty easy to replicate.

What will be much harder to do is the quality job Andy has done integrating bbpress inside of buddypress. This blend on buddpress.org is seamless, and very difficult to achieve at this point without a lot of “deep intergration”.

But take a look at the source, and I think you will see it holds most the answers.

Andy’s mentioned that he will release some of his tricks eventually, but for now his main focus is readying BP for the 1.0 release.

You can piece a lot of this theme apart by staring at the CSS for a while. (It’s mostly just a lot of background images.)

If I was going to use WordPress and bbPress as past examples, no, and don’t bet that it will be anytime soon.

Someone may make a replica, but usually the *Press public themes aren’t available for public use.

It can be changed by changing the ‘BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG’ variable to whatever you would like, but it cannot be totally removed. You could do that in your wp-config.php file, or probably even in plugins/buddypress/bp-custom.php also.

You could essentially hide it by never linking to it within your templates too.

You cannot simply apply one Changeset and expect the entire BuddyPress package to work perfectly. Although that can work sometimes, you really need to apply all the previous Changesets up to that point.

Why, because since RC1 was released, there have been many bug fixes that additively could address your specific problem.

Read this thread and see if the issue you’re experiencing is the same. If so, go to the bottom for the solution.

How do I find my old posts/quetions in this forum?

To locate your forum posts, go to the main forum page and look for the link at the top that says, “You can also view your started and replied topics.”

I do not even see a CSS selector named “content” in the link you provided in the OP when I view the source.

If you perform a search on BuddyPress for that specific string, it comes up empty. If you search WPMU, there are over 40 files (no surprise) that have that string. But, wp-signup.php is not one of them.

What exactly are you trying to do?

The only potential draw back with that method Erwin, is that it adds the link at the end of the assembled navigation instead of giving you total control over it.

Something to think about, is that BuddyPress really does allow for per-theme blog setups.

The difference between:

http://delsolownersclub.com/

and

http://delsolownersclub.com/news/

and

http://delsolownersclub.com/mafdark/

Are all just smoke and mirrors with different themes.

You could really make any ‘blog’ of your website do whatever you want it to do, just like how the BuddyPress Codex is really just another blog.

Morpheus: “Do you think that’s air you’re breathing now?”

“Everybody lies.”

All you have to do is create a php file called “add_forum_to_menu.php” with the following code:

<?php

function add_forums_to_main_menu() {



$class = (bp_is_page('forums')) ? ' class="selected" ' : '';



echo  '<li ' . $class. '><a href="' . get_option('home') . '/forums"

title="' . __( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) .'">' .

__( 'Forums', 'buddypress' ) .'</a></li>';



}



add_action('bp_nav_items','add_forums_to_main_menu');

?>

and put it in the mu-plugins directory. Make sure the “/forums” path in the above code points to your forum directory (mine is at http://www.domain.com/forums)

For all who are still having this issue. There was a bug fix 3 weeks ago that addressed this issue. See Changeset 1244. All widgets that come with BuddyPress were fixed with this revision.

If you are not running at least BuddyPress r1244, then you will still have issues.

Note: Custom widgets (3rd-party developed widgets), may or may not have implemented this bug fix. Therefore, if you are having translation issues with non-core BP widgets, you will need to contact the developer directly.

here’s the other…
