BuddyPress.org

I updated to 721 this morning, hoping to get the group forums running. They appear of course, but won’t post a new topic – the generic message “There was an error posting that topic.” appears, which doesn’t help me troubleshoot. Reading through the thread here, I’m not much clearer on the solution.

WPMU, BBPress, and BuddyPress all installed and running, with integrated logins (the whole salt thing).

I’m wondering if I should have something different entered in the “Group Forum Settings.” I started with the ‘admin’ username and password, which is set to “Key Master” rights in bbPress. I then tried it with a different username set to “Administrator” rights in bbPress, but still no forum joy.

Any pointers on this? I need a pinch more black art here…

@trent: without cookie-integration it works fine: buddypress + bbpress. great! and thanks to all witch do a great jobb. new trunks come out every hour – the updatespeed is great! thanks for the great work!

The ‘news’ button only works if the home theme is running on blog id 1. Sounds like it isn’t. You have to hack some stuff to get it to work. If you are comfortable changing the code in the home theme then it’s here:

if ( $current_blog->blog_id > 1 )

return false;

lines 59/50 in themes/buddypress-home/functions.php. Comment those out and news works.

Yep, got the connection problems solved but probably won’t have time to test much today. I see what you’re saying but we’re integrating WordPress and bbPress and need the cookies to sync. If we can get everything talking properly between WPMU and bbPress it will make any problems we encounter BuddyPress specific. I’m not sure if the plugin works with WPMU, I’m assuming it does but it doesn’t specify either way.

with new version updated

i have in bbprees the forum created with the name of the groups

but still not showing any post neither in buddypress neither in bbpress

when a user is logged in buddypress it is still not logged in bbpress but it seems to have some interaction

Well. I spend a lot of hours this weekend and i found out: trunk r664 + bbpress alpha 3 + wpmu trunk 1574 works for me an the forum works for new groups (not for the old one). If i update to the latest buddypress trunk (r682), i can´t post in to a forum – and i get no error messages. Nothing happens also with bbpress alpa 4 and the latest buddypress trunk (r682).

Here’s the solution: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/229

Looks like it is in the works…

wardeh – would it be poss to pick your brain on some questions/issues I have on my BuddyPress site plan? I am at michael@prattvoute.com. Would be a great help. Thanks

i get the same like zenseeker:

bool(false) object(IXR_Error)#4989 (2) { [“code”]=> int(-32300) [“message”]=> string(114) “transport error – could not open socket: 0 php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known” }

on the same server inside another bbpress, buddypress og wpmu installation all works fine. but in another i get this.

thanks! m

I am new to bbPress but not WP and have BuddyPress moving along nicely. If BP already has forums for each group then why do we need bbPress? Added forum functionality vis a vis a replacement of the BP forums or do both coexist side by side in BP?

It’s entirely permissions. Make sure everything in the theme and any JS/CSS in buddypress is 755.

Try increasing the permissions on the home theme css file (http://wearelabor.com/wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/style.css)

Same here bebopcool, I’m running the new bbPress zip and the trunk WPMU and BuddyPress and have successfully integrated users but can’t get the cookies to work, which I assume is what’s preventing the forum from working. I too have the forum on the group page, but posting on fails.

I can login with my admin account and the new bbpress admin and post directly to the forum but it doesn’t seem to be communicating with BuddyPress.

bdpress trunk 658

wpmu trunk 1574

bbpress : alpha 3

burtadsit thanks for the info about .hataccess file in bbpress it is ok now for user profile

i gave the admin status to the buddypress forum user

and o also upgraded to bbpress alpha 3

but still not working : the forum is created but i cannot post

it seems i have a pb with cookie integration because a user logged with bdpress is not automatically logged in bbpress but i do not see where….

it tried to post with the bdpress forum user and logged manually with the same user in bbpress but it is still not working

Yeah, BuddyPress is definitely seems appropriate for this project. Most everything you mentioned is already in BP or in the works. Even if it’s not, WPMU is easy enough to build on that you could add any remaining features easily.

I agree. I would consider throwing in a few bucks. Their are a few plugins already created that work with MU, however they need to be buddypress friendly.

Thank you! I will give this a try! (Well, after I get the forums to work.)

For people that it is not working for: Are you sure the new user you created in bbpress for BuddyPress to use has admin privileges in bbPress? Basically the account that you enter into site admin > group forums?

all is possible but Andy in the readme say wpmu 2.7 or trunk and same for bbpress.

p.s. Oh Nicola e tu anzicche’ chiedere qui chiedi su http://www.buddypress-it.it che e’ il sito di supporto italiano no?

bebopcool: “i cannot make the user created for buddypress in bbpress an admin as i cannot access to bbpres user profile (it gives a 404 error on every user imported from wordpress)”

That’s what happens to me, too.

The forums are with the groups now, but no posts can be added.

Same, the groups forums be created but I cannot create topics in groupes forums.

And I have an error,

when i go to http://www.domain.tld/wp-admin/options.php

Warning: array_search() [function.array-search]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/*******/public_html/wp-admin/includes/plugin.php on line 1044

I don’t have any plugin installed , only Buddypress.

wpmu trak version 1574

bbpress 1.0 alpha 2

buddypress 658

pb with cookie integration between bbpress and wordpress

i cannot make the user created for buddypress in bbpress an admin as i cannot access to bbpres user profile

(it gives a 404 error on every user imported from wordpress)

it tried to use the bbpress integration function that allows to give a role to wordpress users :

the new forumbdpress is put as an administrator in wpmu

but he does not appear as an administrator is bbpress

surely those pb are not directly linked with your plugin

but it makes it working not properly :

the groups forums seems to be created but

i cannot create topics in groupes forums

It doesn’t look like you have things configured quite right yet.

The bp home theme shouldn’t be in: /wp-content/member-themes it should be in: /wp-content/themes

The bp member theme should be in: /wp-content/member-themes

What is confusing to me is that it’s reporting an error looking for *anything* in /wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-home/. That directory path doesn’t exist. Shouldn’t exist.
