BuddyPress.org

Thanks for coming back on this.

I have actually now deleted the whole Mu and BuddyPress set-up (as it is new) and downloaded the latest. I have gone through the install guide again and…same problem.

I fiddling around last time, I forgot to mention that when the Member theme is installed in wp-content it does not show up at all in themes control panels. It is only when it is put in themes directory that it registers in the themes admin but it does not show in Ajax preview and results in blank page if installed.

The last time, I recursively changed all permissions to 777 of every file in desperation, but still no joy.

For what I want to do, a constant theme across all blogs and sites is the ideal, so I want to get this to work. It allows the BuddyPress Home theme OK, by the way.

Hope there might be a clue there somewhere.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I activated it for community.domain.com but the links kept going back to domain.com not community.domain.com within its own theme. I cant find anything to insert the static links to keep buddypress theme within its own subdomain itself.

Alright, so I went through and triple checked all of my site_url related settings, they were fine. So I moved all of the plugins from mu-plugins to _temp (except the core) visited the site, then moved them back, and all appears to be well. Is it possible that BuddyPress just got confused? I’d say it’s probably more likely that I’m going crazy…

Next up… If I use the above blog_to_news function, I’ve got it working in the navbar, but the widgets in the blog still point to “blog/…” rather than “news/…” Funny thing is that they load just fine because I never updated the permalink structure to say “/news/%category%/%postname%/” but once I do that, it goes back to post 1 and doesn’t work again.

So even if the permalink and HOME_BLOG_SLUG match, filtered or not, if it doesn’t route to “yourdomain.tld/blog/…” then it doesn’t want to use anything but index.php.

i re-up this thread, cause i see that all the non-english buddypressers are blocked from this issue. Sorry to be boring Andy, and really thanks for you great work with bp!

Yes sir, this is exactly how I have mine. It is from the latest RC1 functions.php file it appears. (Side note: what does it do about archives, etc…?)

Back on topic (mostly)… Here’s a question, and maybe this is the culprit. I’ve asked over on the WPMU forums and so far no one has bitten so maybe I’ll theorize here.

I have two domains, testdomain.com, and testdomain2.com. testdomain.com originally had wordpress.org 2.7 installed on it, integrated with bbpress.org 1.0a6. I backed up my database and started my conversion process.

When I installed WPMU and BuddyPress, I did so at testdomain2.com and I am confident I used the subdirectory option. Then when it was working and I had the test database all restored from my afore mentioned backup, and working with all the integration and everything, I moved all of the files from testdomain2.com, to testdomain1.com. With a few hours tweaking, everything appears to be working, but this and the fact that it is now installed as a subdomain install instead of subdirectory.

Now, I can’t tell what the difference is between the two installs (subdirectory and subdomain.) The .htaccess files are the same, the database is the same, and the files all appear to be the same as well. What the heck does WPMU do where to have it know the difference? Could that be part of my problem? Ah!

Andy, I found if I drop that into “wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/css/custom-components/” it loads as you say.

It’s changed things somewhat … http://doorqtech.com/members/jodyw1/… but I still have to figure out how to get to look like this: http://doorqtech.com/groups

Does nothing to remove it. It’s kinda like a mattress tag. I complained about that and Andy put a filter in there for group creation. We can override the forum name that gets created and the description I think.

@john, I included some template tags in the bbGroups package that demonstrates some of that theme’s use of bp centric features. I didn’t include the forums feature because it was specific to the theme. I’ll just zip up that theme and post it on my blog for you to look at the code. Gimme a few.

OK. It’s here: http://ourcommoninterest.org/downloads/oci.zip

You should just be able to unzip that in my-templates. One thing though. bbPress doesn’t seem to have a functions.php file that gets run in each theme/template as wp does. So I had all the template specific code being launched from my oci_bb_group_forums.php plugin. I’ve got all the template code living in oci_bb_custom.php so it get loaded up automatically. I included my oci_bb_custom.php file in the template zip. Just drop that in my-plugins and it’ll be loaded by the bbGroups plugin in bbpress.

If you look at the front-page.php file you’ll see how the forum list is generated.

<?php oci_forum_list('open', 'Community Forums', false); ?>

<?php oci_forum_list('readonly', 'Group Forums', true); ?>

<?php oci_forum_list('hidden', 'Private Forums', true); ?>

That fn is a little out of date. I used to have an option in there to generate identicon avatars for all forums. Even the forums that weren’t bp related. I took that capability out. What it does do now is display avs for the currently logged in user’s groups only.

This is the error Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /home/blogpeor/public_html/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/functions.php on line 13

This is for sites that want to use bbPress as it was intended. As a forum. bbPress is designed to be that. The feature set of vertical software is more rich than horizontal software. bbPress does things now that bp doesn’t do and may never do.

I like having a forum interface to bbPress in bp. I’d like to see a blog interface also. I don’t expect the feature set to be the same.

It’s wonderful that bp has a forum interface since I think that forums are an extremely important part of social software. People who get together in groups like to talk. I think that the tools we use to communicate can constrain or enable that communication.

The purpose of bbGroups is to extend bp’s native strengths.
