It may be related and hopefully you’ll find some answers there.

Also make sure you have the theme in the right directory. member-theme directory should now be called bp-themes

Just a note for everyone to consider, is that there are two separate applications going on here, and not every trunk/branch of one is going to take into consideration every trunk/branch of the other. This may go without saying for many, but I think it’s fair to remind everyone again…

While the goal is for everything to stay as stable as possible, it’s still a cat and mouse game until WPMU 2.7.1 comes out, and BuddyPress 1.0 comes out. Anything before that, is going to give you headaches and cause problems if you’re trying to stay on the bleeding edge of what’s going on.

When new trunks/betas/rc’s come out, if you have a stable, working environment that works well enough as it is, my personal suggestion (unless you have the time, patience, and understanding userbase) is to leave well enough alone on live sites, and use the trunks and betas on a separate install ONLY for you to become comfortable with the changes as they happen.

You wouldn’t install the next beta version of Windows on your work computer right? Not if your livelihood is at stake!

Long story short, don’t count on any of these things actually working 100% of the time. Read, re-read, and thrice-read the upgrade instructions as they don’t become 100% clear until you’ve already messed them up.

How do you make this available to public BuddyPress users too?

Are there any errors in your server logs?

Based on those database values I’d say that it’s clear that when you create a new group it’s not creating a new forum in bbPress, otherwise your new group would also have a meta_key with a value of “forum_id” and your bp_forums table would have a new entry as well.

This might be a hard one to track down as it could be a problem with your host/server and not with BuddyPress/bbPress.

Just as a matter of being thorough… did you follow Trent’s steps or the steps in the forum component readme file?

When I did my setup I used the readme file steps and everything worked smoothly. Nothing against Trent’s tips and tricks, but I found that if I followed the readme steps it worked fine.

Do you have a way to try the same setup on a different server or maybe on your local machine?

and even created new forums

Have you tried creating a brand new group and enabling the forum for it? I only see one group on your site. You could try creating a new group, enabling the forum, then test again.

Since the issue is with an existing forum/group connection, it could be that BuddyPress thinks the forum exists (with a certain “id”) which doesn’t exist in bbPress any more.

If you look in the “wp_bp_groups_groupmeta” table in your database, find the “group_id” for the group you are testing, and then look in the “bp_forums” table and see if the same id is being used there for a forum (look at the “forum_id”).

Same for me. I get somethin like this:

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /xxx/xxx/public_html/xxx/wp-admin/includes/plugin.php on line 233

@Tdh plugins might have their issues, but I would *highly recommend* doing it via plugin. If you hack the core you won’t be able to upgrade the software without losing your changes.

SVN (command line via Terminal) is also built in to Leopard. Just cd to your wp-content/plugins directory and do:

svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk buddypress

This will check out the trunk to the ‘buddypress’ directory. Any time you want to update trunk simply browse and do:

svn update buddypress

Cheers!

hi Mypop,

Do you add this line into your bbPress bb-config.php to enable user switching ? $bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;

i followed those advices below to install my forum. I hope it can help you

here is a video :

and there some good tips :

I notice that the twitter plugin makes some conflits with the bb_press install. I deleted it.

@Gordon

It seems that you have your path to the BP plugins incorrectly setup. In the error message, it lists the path as /wp-plugins/buddypress/. It should be /plugins/buddypress/

From R1303, BuddyPress plugins were moved out of the /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory and into the /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/ directory.

Mypop, when you are in the MU admin area — go to the last menu item (it should be labeled “BuddyPress”). Click “Component Setup” and make sure that bbPress Forums is enabled.

Then click the link in that same admin menu that says “Forum setup”, and make sure the settings there are correct.

I noticed when I recently upgraded my BuddyPress to the latest trunk (rev 1324) that those forum settings were empty, so I had to enter them again (URL, username, and password).

I’ve tried it on MU 2.7 and MU trunk

If you simply updated to the recent BP trunk without following this notice ( https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1994 ), then you will have all sorts of issues.

I’m getting the “Connect with your Facebook Account” message and no button as well.

Latest WPMU 2.7.1 and BuddyPress trunks. Activated via the plugin menu as directed, API license keys entered. Browsers closed, cache cleared, etc. This is a brand new install of WPMU and BP.

I’m looking at the code and since i’m not familar with Facebook, i’m not getting any clues yet (the HMTL output is exactly the same vs. what appears on testbp.org). However this might be a clue: upon loading the homepage I get a javascript error:

Error: FBConnect is not defined

Line: 153

Is anyone else experiencing the “lack of a button” getting this js error? I’m going to try to track it down.

You could try using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/remove-buddypress-admin-bar/ and then create a little plugin that copies the parts of the bar you want and hooks into wp_head.

(Heads up: check the source of the remove-buddypress-admin-bar plugin: there is a parameter you may need to set based on what version of BP you’re running.)

Hi After reading this I believe I am getting closer to the problem:

1) My buddypress is at http://ilocals.info but I have not added anything to define(\’COOKIE_DOMAIN\’, \’\’); I suppose I need to add define(\’COOKIE_DOMAIN\’, \’.ilocals.info\’);

2) A new problem: I have lost my keymaster/administrator ability at bbpress. Can you tell me how to fix this?

3) I will tell you about my other cookie issues as soon as I have a fix for this.

Thanks

read on https://buddypress.org/download, there’s a link – you will need svn installed to use it.

@Gpo1

Am interested in utilize Amazon\’s S3 for storage of all user uploaded media content.

Are you going to stream the media from Amazon\’s S3?

Yes. We plan on streaming all rich media content. We have not yet got to the stage where we are actively working on this aspect of our sites, but it is in the plan.

We are waiting to see how BuddyPress\’ Album component evolves. We hope that it moves beyond static media and allows the incorporation of a variety of rich media formats.

You should be using the new BP_PLUGIN_DIR constant, which was introduced in revision 1303 for moving to MU 2.7.1 support.

Something like:

define( 'BPLANG', 'spots' );

if ( file_exists( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-languages/buddypress-' . BPLANG . '.mo' ) ) {

load_textdomain( 'buddypress', BP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-languages/buddypress-' . BPLANG . '.mo' );

}
