Video gaming blog network, we first tried using wpmu on its own, found it didn’t work how we wanted, then found buddypress. Really like Buddypress, think it’s going to go really far.

hey Chris,

i just find this article below through bluehost tech support. Now we have to figure out where this code exists in WPMU and/or buddypress.

http://helpdesk.bluehost.com/kb/index.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=231

Problem

Why do e-mails from my webpage come from < username > @ < box# > .bluehost.com when I have specified otherwise?

Solution

This is because our servers require you (or your script) to use a properly formatted, valid From: header in your email. If the From: header is not formatted correctly, empty or the email address doesn’t exist on our server, the from address will be changed to <username>@<box#>.bluehost.com. To stop this, you must change the script you are using to correctly use a valid From header.

Examples of headers that should work would be:

From: user@domain.com

From: <user@domain.com>

From: “name” <user@domain.com>

Examples of headers that will NOT work:

From: “user@domain.com”

From: user @ domain.com

Alternative for PHP Users:

– You can also modify which account should be used when sending out using the mail() function. Inside the local php.ini file, you will find a line of code that looks something like this (around line 601):

sendmail_from = mail@yourdomain.com

Be sure to uncomment this by deleting the ‘;’ before the directive. Also, the account you use must be a valid created account.

Hi, I’m having the same problem as well. I get @box441.bluehost.com as my address. Is this in buddypress or wpmu? I read somewhere that pluggable.php was a file to change in wpmu but haven’t been able to figure it out. please help!

thanks!

I worked a lot with prologue and buddypress, now it’s highly alpha

as soon as possible i’ll release something

I don’t think a Twitter-like functionality will be added to the BP core but this can be done now with around 10 minutes of work.

All you’d need to do is create a blog such as whereareyou.domain.com. Then add all existing users as authors and auto-add new users as authors to the blog (see this post for details on doing this, it only takes a minute). Finally install and tweak the prologue theme to suit your site. The updates users post to the blog will automatically show up on their profile like other blog posts.

This is a really basic implementation of a “Twitter-like” functionality, but with a little tweaking this setup works really well.

i have had buddypress running on mine since it was available, i am still seeing bugs but nothing too major

http://hyrxx.com is my main site but im running the buddypress home theme on http://launch.hyrxx.com – this is an interesting way to have it setup i know but also it may give ideas to others who want a separate part for buddypress, i am still considering moving my blog to a subdomain and putting buddypress on the main page but for this to happen i want to learn to theme it and i need it to be extremely perfect

my site is about me and teenlife so please look but dont touch unless you interested its more of a niche kinda thing that most of you wont understand but i posted since i wanted to show my installation, i hope for it to grow and make a proper social network within my freinds, i want to encourage them to all blog and create relationships using wp and bp, feedback apprieciated robbie@hyrxx.com

I’m working on a BuddyPress-Site for evaluation and a circle of friends (german language): spaces.nordblog.net

… can’t wait for release candidates and the gallery feature!

@socialbandit SVN or beta zip is the same procedure. With incremental updates from SVN I know what files were modified. I can’t keep track of them individually. That’d be a nightmare. SVN updates come through files from here, files from there. All over the place. When I’m ready to update I do the whole shebang.

I don’t know how others do it.

No deactivation is needed. I’m usually up at 3am so I do it then. That probably doesn’t make a diff though. It’s not 3am in Moscow.

css changes on updates? I’m not sure what you mean by that.

Permissions on the /themes/buddypress-home/css/<files>?

So with SVN is it just a simple case of dropping the desired component or files into mu-plugins folder. Can you just add the individual files or do you have to have the whole component?

Do we need to deactivate the current components first.

What about css and the like. Will we will still need to fiddle with them??

Hi Andy,

I tried updating the home and member themes…but dont see any success. I’m getting the following error when I select the buddypress theme from the ‘design’ console:

***************************************************

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_search_form_action() in /home/thekartn/public_html/chennairunnersorg/site/wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/header.php on line 33

***************************************************

I’m using WordPress v2.6.5 and the latest version of Buddypress (downloaded from the website on 1st Jan ’09). Is there a compatibility issue? Thanks in advance for the help!

I wouldn’t mod a function, I’d add a filter. Hang on while I look for the filter name. (brb)

OK, what I think you’ve done is change the ‘Full Name’ profile field and called it ‘nickname’ in the BuddyPress settings area right?

So, in bp_fetch_user_fullname() it sets up a filter for us:

apply_filters( 'bp_fetch_user_fullname', stripslashes( trim( $data ) )

You’d need to create a function something like:

function my_nickname_filter($name) {

return strtolower($name);

}

And register the filter with:

add_filter('bp_fetch_user_fullname', 'my_nickname_filter')

Hopefully bp uses the bp_fetch_user_full_name() fn everywhere. Can’t see much reason to create it if it didn’t.

I see these hooks all over the place. Andy has done gone filter happy.

After you upload your files to the server, login as site admin into the backend of the primary mu blog. If any database changes need to be made they will occur then automatically.

The beta gets updated when they bump the beta version and release it. The svn version will be the freshest version you can get.
