BuddyPress.org

This is random, but if I were to give an educated guess–it seems like the toughest part to comprehend initially might be that you don’t put the member themes under the themes file (directory) you put them in wp-contents. Just a guess, hope you figure it out and have fun…

And also, is it possible that you were using the kubrick theme as your home theme instead of the BuddyPress Home Theme? That would give the plugin error.

Also to remove buddypress just remove all contents from mu-plugins and restore your theme to Kubrick.

It’s difficult to really determine this but from what I can gather about what you are trying to do

You are trying to get mu installed in a subdirectory called /blog/blogs under the document root of a live, existing wp 2.6.5 install.

The existing live install has the it’s domain mapped to /blog (not /blogs) where the wp 2.6.5 actually resides.

I didn’t see any evidence of buddypress so you must have been successful in uninstalling it while you get mu up and running.

It looks like you have chosen the subdirectory install option for mu.

Is all this guessing right? I don’t know. I hope your live site stays up and running throughout this and I look forward to you reporting back with success.

There’s no admin bar in the login form no.

I’m not sure what email link you are referring to. After signing up a user gets an email with an activation link and then a password and then logs in with a temp password to their blog.

To get to the admin backend (dashboard) of any blog you use: myblog.mysite.com/wp-admin/ or after logging in, the user has the option of using the menu bar’s ‘my blogs’ > ‘my new blog’ ><flyout menu> ‘dashboard’

That’s also the admin area of the blog.

There isn’t a ‘bbpress bar’ that I’m aware of. There’s a buddypress bar that has a ‘my account’ menu where you can visit your profile and other options.

Nice job – good luck with that!

Hey, I’m running http://www.pozlife.com. It’s a community for people affected but HIV and AIDS. I’m an activist

I just finished ironing out the basics, and its a very limited BP install – no groups, no blogs, no access to the dashboard for non admins. They do have member profiles, and flickr for more photos. I’ve also integrated my wpmu DB with BB press for seamless logins.

I’m going to add more stuff when people request it, but for now I think I can start to invite people to use it!

I’m really thankful for all the help I’m receiving via the forums! Keep up the good work.

The only blog that should be using the buddypress-home theme is the main blog. All other blogs can use whatever theme the users usually want if they are installed. I am getting the impression that you deleted the “default” folder out of /wp-content/themes/ and that is what is causing you issues.

you should fill out this form http://buddypressdev.org/add-plugin

That is a very good question! Never run across anyone that tried it, but I can’t see why it wouldn’t work since the hardcoding for site “1” is all gone now. Short of testing it out, I am not sure if anyone has an answer. I might get a chance to test this out later today though. If you test it out, let us know.

cdaniel09 – you need to move up to wpmu 2.7

awesome plugin!

This topic might get more attention if you post it in the WPMU forums as it isn’t a buddypress related issue.

I’m sorry…i’m new to some of the web jargon. I’m a musician. I understand now what you guys mean re: commenting out. I commented those lines out and its still sending all emails from bluehost (not to mention..its taking about an hour to two to receive them.

I’m sure there is a simple resolution but it seems to be over everyone’s head.

Chris, what lines did you comment out? I’d really appreciate anyones help.

I can’t have buddypress sending emails from a bluehost address to people that sign up on my site …not to mention it taking an hour to get their confirmations etc.

In bp-core-classes.php is BP_Core_User

/**

* BP_Core_User class can be used by any component. It will fetch useful

* details for any user when provided with a user_id.

*

* Example:

*    $user = new BP_Core_User( $user_id );

*    $user_avatar = $user->avatar;

*	  $user_email = $user->email;

*    $user_status = $user->status;

*    etc.

*

* @package BuddyPress Core

*/

Lots of stuff in that class. You need a user id to instantiate one.

I can’t find any tickets in Trac about this issue. Why don’t you start one? Make sure you describe your install environment clearly.

Mike the idea is that if I want to change the function of a menu item, I have to replace the menu item with something of my own. I want to change “My Account” on the bar and add a new item underneath entitled: “I Owe Mike How Much!?”. I have to replace the entire “My Account” menu item since the granularity of the actions are at the top level menu item only.

I can slide new menu items in between existing items easily but that’s the way it has to happen for drop down items.

I create a plugin that runs in /mu-plugins since I want this to run all the time for all users on all blogs. It’ll get run every page load.

An example is replacing the bp logo image in the bar. Same technique for other menu items. The item gets rendered through the function:

bp_adminbar_logo() in bp-core-adminbar.php

This function gets registered in mu by us telling mu about this function and when to trigger it:

add_action( ‘bp-adminbar-logo’, ‘bp_adminbar_logo’ ) at the bottom of bp-core-adminbar.php

To replace the logo with our own logo or do something completely diff like just use the word ‘Home’, whatever we unregister the existing fn, register our own that replaces the old fn and does something different. Like below:

function oci_adminbar_logo() {

global $bp;

echo '<a href="' . $bp['root_domain'] . '"><img id="admin-bar-logo" src="' . apply_filters( 'bp_admin_bar_logo_src', site_url( MUPLUGINDIR . '/common-interest/images/oci_home.gif' ) ) . '" alt="' . apply_filters( 'bp_admin_bar_logo_alt_text', __( 'BuddyPress', 'buddypress' ) ) . '" /></a>';

}



remove_action('bp-adminbar-logo','bp_adminbar_logo');

add_action('bp-adminbar-logo','oci_adminbar_logo');

The above says “don’t pay any more attention to the function bp_adminbar_logo() when the action ‘bp-adminbar-logo’ occurs, pay attention to my oci_adminbar_logo() fn and do that instead.

You have to replace the *entire* menu item with something of your own. Clearer? No?

Hello, I am having the same problem, using Buddypress with directories instead of subdomains. When I create a group I can’t invite any members because my friends list is empty although I do have several friends. I am developing a site at http://www.conexionesbcn.com

If you leave your contact information, I can close this thread as this is a support forum and not a job board.

I will test it for you. Send it to my at the address on my contact page:
