BuddyPress.org

When I enabled Thesis, I had to manually add pages for News, Blogs, Members & Groups. Everything appears to work until you click on one of the created Pages. (Blogs, Members & Groups mainly)

I’m not sure what ‘manually add pages for…’ means. You don’t need to add anything except the files plugin-template.php and plugin-sidebar.php which come with the bp home theme. Look in the home theme dir for those two. Just drop them into your theme’s directory.

Those files have action triggers in them that display whatever directory your user chose. Members, Groups…

If you are not running the bp home theme then within your theme you provide links to all the directories you want to be available. The urls would be:

yoursite.org/members

yoursite.org/groups

yoursite.org/blogs

You don’t have to create pages for these. bp hooks those urls and tries to display the appropriate directory using the plugin-template.php file.

What you’ve done is create mu pages with slugs that mimic the bp urls for the directories. Clicking on what you expect to be a page in your theme, fires off one of those urls. bp sees that it’s a bp internal reserved name for one of the directories and tries to oblige by displaying the directory. It can’t find that template file plugin-template.php and complains loudly.

Ya just can’t have pages named those things.

What you will have to do is override/skin the css for the directories if you want them to display in accordance with your theme.

hi, daniel

buddypress is in beta release when all the components have a stable release the support/help/guide/faq come but at this time is a good idea working on code and codex.

I’m not able to get this to show up on my register page. It shows up correctly on the comments pages. Ideas what I can try?

I am also having this problem. I found these two support tickets that describe this problem a little better.

Cropping via the “Change Avatar” Screen causes cropping area jumping

Avatars are randomly lost

You have some plugin conflicts it looks like since you are also using nextgen-gallery which might also be calling some libraries. Try disabling it and see if buddypress is able to upload and avatar and crop it.

Trent, I don’t think it is the first reason, as I am using the buddypress-member theme, just not the home theme.

Could be the second. I’ll try what you said later and let you know. Thanks!

You are not using an older version of hyper-db or the multi-db plugin from wpmudev.org premium are you? Both need to be patched to work with functions and delta-db. Latest trunk of hyper-db works, but multi-db plugin needs to have a few functions added to it until they release a version for 2.7 and/or buddypress integration.

I have a ticket on the Buddypress specific feeds already. Just have to watch this ticket:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/213

@wardeh – I haven’t actually tried that plugin with a custom member theme, but it might not be working for 2 reasons.

First might be because the plugin is calling $is_member_page, it might not work unless you have all the functions included with the normal buddypress-member theme.

Second reason might be because the header('Location: ' . get_settings('siteurl') . '/register'); is calling the register page on the main theme that doesn’t exist? Maybe change that line to header('Location: ' . get_settings('siteurl') . '/wp-signup.php'); and see if that works?

The bbPress plugin should work if you are calling it out of /my-plugins/ but I am pretty sure you have to have the <?php bb_head(); ?> in your template header as well as <?php do_action('bb_foot'); ?> in your template footer.php.

Let me know, as the bbPress plugin is just a “redesign” of the force login plugin found in the bbPress forums.

Finished,

Wrote it as a customization to the profile fields, managed to do it in about 10 or so lines of php. Read my complete post here:

I can easily see this added to BuddyPress, just make it another field like “news”. it would be admin controlled, which I think is personally fine. Then adjust the groups search to search those tags/keywords. Am i missing something?

No, you can not easily do that.

I’m not sure your reasoning, but php will not allow you to just change the file name, as it will not allow you to have the same functions twice.

Right now groups are pretty basic, and you can add more functionality by expanding on the group packages, but as updates are rolled out you may find it hard to keep up if you make too many modifications inside the group packages.

Have a look at optimal title, I think it does a similar thing to all in one seo, but maybe more compatible for buddypress? I know the older versions of optimal title doesn’t use a title hook, they have you edit the php in the template, this maybe a better solution, as it won’t be called in buddypress templates, only wordpress template pages?

Also you may want to check out:

http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/sitemaps-and-seo-wordpress-mu-style

They have a wordpress mu version combining seo and sitemaps.

what do you mean for that?

Next time contact me on BPDEV

You’ve to do another bbpress installation (change directory name sure! like http://buddypressdev.org /bp-groups/ for integrated bp-groups and /forums/ for the main forums).

Intregrate this one with wordpress and you’ve done
