BuddyPress.org

Here is the description of the album component thats said to be out in 09 sometime.

“Photo Albums

Members of a BuddyPress installation will be able to create their own photo albums. These albums can be shared with friends and groups.

Each member will be given a certain amount of space, which can be set by the site administrator. Albums and photos can be tagged. It will also be possible to browse public photos via photo tag pages that other members can browse (just as you browse blogs via tags on wordpress.com).

Photos can also be tagged to a group as mentioned previously in the group component overview.

Photos can be uploaded from a members computer, and will be re-sized accordingly using the built in WordPress image manipulation functions.”

Thebigk,

This isn’t a BuddyPress issue as the rich editing options and settings are handled through WordPress MU.

From what I could see on a quick search on https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/, the rich editor options will only affect new blogs (not ones already created). For older ones, you might have to manually update the setting in the database with a tool such as phpMyAdmin.

I’d suggest also digging around more in the MU forums for such terms as “rich editor” or “rich editing” to see if there are more threads on this topic.

@Ninh – Sounds like you are on the right track. One word of caution, though: if you are manually copying files from one place to another it’s very easy to lose hidden files, like .htaccess files. These are very important and can cause problems with your install.

It’s highly recommend to start over with a new download or SVN checkout at the new server location so you are sure to get the correct setup.

@Dace – Same thing… if you upgraded and only copied certain files you can get into problems. If you are going to upgrade, it’s recommended that you replace the entire BuddyPress install (not just pieces).

Like I said before–and you can search the forums–this topic is very common and usually comes down to a few things: GD support, htaccess issues, or file permissions on the directory where the avatar images are uploaded to.

Great — glad to hear it. Sorry to have missed your previous questions.

where do i upload the .po file to??

Anywhere on the server, it doesn’t matter.

what does this command do exactely

It takes your PO file and creates the MO for you.

did you mean.. ”and added the buddypress-spots.mo file there…”

Yes.

i have already set up in wp-config.php will this clash with what you have said to doo..

Hmmm… that I don’t know. I don’t use those configuration settings, myself. I would suggest commenting them out and testing your site. If the language file changes are still working, go ahead and delete those lines from your wp-config file.

Overall the language file is a better long-term solution since you can make changes for other labels there as well if they come up in future versions, whereas those custom definitions are only specific to a few labels.

Hello,

I have installed the trunk version of buddypress.org on my site . I used the link for installation — https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/. After that i proceeded installing BP-FBConnect Plugin, using the link http://testbp.org/plugins/bp-fbconnect.zip. I downloaded the bp-fbconnect.zip to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory. After that i extracted it. I have not performed any further steps in the installation. However when accessing my site and logging in, the fconnect plugin is not listed at all.

Please advice. is there further steps involved in the installation. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Gokul.

@Dace – I saw your comment in this related thread… but did you try the things that were suggested there: fixing permissions, checking for GD support, .htaccess issues, etc?

Avatars not uploading is a very common issue, so much that it has an an entry on the FAQs page:

Why will avatars not upload on my server? This could be a number of things, but make sure you have the GD image library installed. It might also be permissions, so make sure the web server has correct permissions.

Make sure to check these things (if you don’t know how to check for GD library support, ask your web host) and report any errors in your server logs.

This maybe a good starting point for you

Egerrits: can you submit this to the WP plugin repo so it will show up on the BuddyPress site?

@Timothy, I believe Erwin is currently battling with the recently updated group template directory structure changes and thus 0.54 does not work fully with the trunk version of BuddyPress. 0.55 will work with trunk build but there is no eta yet.

Simple.

@Edeutsch,

Erwin Gerrits is developing an event calendar plugin for BuddyPress that he says will include group events. As it is still in early development at present however, it does not yet contain the group events functionality.

Regarding YouTube video’s perhaps a variation on Nicola Greco’s BPDEV-YouTube plugin could be created for use with groups.

BuddyPress pages will only run on the root blog, or the blog ID you give for BuddyPress to run on by adding this to wp-config.php:

define( \'BP_ROOT_BLOG\', 1 );

Where \’1\’ is the ID of the blog you want BuddyPress to run on.

This was introduced in a recent build – before BuddyPress would potentially override pages on any blog, which causes problems.

So: http://example.org/subblog/members will not work, but http://example.com/members will work if you do not define the line above.

Thank you Andy.

I noticed that there are so many inquiries about member-themes that their member themes are not loading or doesn’t show up.

To solve this you have to upload the default member theme then under Site Admin-BuddyPress in ‘Select theme to use for member pages:’ chose FaceBuddy.

After that you can now delete the default buddypress theme.

That would hopefully solve your problems.

thanks very much for your answers Sgrunt..

I tried it with default theme and same problem..sorry it s my bad..

I don’t know if it has something to do with my problem here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1308

It’ seems similar. Do you have the wrong slugs also in the activity feeds?

I would like to do this too.

What I did is make the buddypress home theme available to memberblogs. The only “catch” is that the member blog appears without any widgets set.

I am curious, if there is a way to “preset” the widgets on a userblog theme to a standard layout.

This image is perfect: https://apeatling.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/blog.jpg

If member blogs could look like that, then I can launch my community.

Best,

Dainis

Has been updated to the ‘trunk 1281’ version of ‘FaceBuddy theme’ …

I find key! Woh, happy.

When you meet this case. You remember that you active user “admin” in BuddyPress to admin BBPress (3 admin at less)

Thanks
