BuddyPress.org

Are you both installing BuddyPress in the root, subdirectory or subdomain? There are problems at the moment if BuddyPress is installed in a sub dir. These will be fixed very soon.

yes… if you running manage VPS just asking your provider to install GD image library, and upload back your image and it’s work for me…

The Recent Blog Posts and the Site Wide Activity widgets both have code that restricts them to blog id 1.

The Recent Blog Posts widget lives in the mu-plugins/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-widgets.php file. There are two of those nasty blog id 1 checks at line #8 and line #30. Same thing exists in the mu-plugins/bp-activity/bp-activity-widgets.php file.

If you want ‘News’ to work in the home theme then modify themes/buddypress-home/functions.php on lines #49-#50. I just commented them out.

I’m guessing that the thinking behind this restriction is “Get it to work first, then get it to work everywhere”. Kinda like narrowing the possibilities for problems that are gonna exist anyway, down to something trackable. If you browse the forums here and on wpmu you quickly see that wpmu can be installed in about 97 different ways on 205,478 hosts. Slap on a major component like buddyPress, then let noobs like me loose upon the face of the world who want to play with my toys ‘my way’ and I understand the thinking.

cool, this is gr8 news i would like to get start once again testing this. thumps up guys i hope 1st release will have gr8 things in hand.

I’m already using buddypress with the most recent SVN builds of WordPress MU based on 2.7 with no problems… for testing purposes only mind, WPMU 2.7 still has a bit of work to be done before it’s production ready .

That is part of the roadmap and I believe it will be in the first release of buddypress as well.

If it isn’t showing up in the admin area, it must just be a naming problem. It should be the structure of:

/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/

It would seem that maybe there might be a typo on the member-theme versus member-themes or something similar?

I have problem with saving the edited file. I edit the .po file with poedit, but have the problem with editing the line “You have one new message.” where is located in file on 1335 line

1335 msgid “You have one new message.”

1336 msgid_plural “You have %s new messages.”

1337 msgstr[0] “”

1338 msgstr[1] “”

The Poedit can’t edit this line and I can’t save the file.

Give me error:

01:52:12: WORKBuddyPresstrunk-r570trunkbp-languagesbuddypress_bg-BG.po:1396: missing `msgstr[]’ section

01:52:12: msgfmt: found 1 fatal error

I am having the exact same problem. This is a brand new install. Here are the steps that I took:

I downloaded the latest version of WPMU (2.6.5)

I copied wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes directories along with the files in the root installation directory to the root directory of my site.

I installed the database with no problems.

I followed the advice of the BP instructions and I created a new blog, created new posts and comments. Everything worked as expected.

I then downloaded the latest BP zip file (r598).

I copied all of the files and directories in the root directory of the zip to the /wp-content/mu-plugins directory.

I copied the buddypress-home directory to /wp-content/themes directory

I copied the member-themes directory to the /wp-content directory.

I went to the Site Admin->Themes page and selected ‘Yes’ for the BuddyPress Home Theme and ‘No’ for all the others.

Note: At this time the theme for the home page was still the default wordpress blog theme.

I then went to the root blogs (located at / according the the manage blogs page) and change the theme for it to BuddyPress Home Theme.

Now I get the 404 errors that are described above. Also, when I go to my member’s page, it says that I have no blogs, to create one. After creating another blog, the member’s page still says that I have no blogs.

I feel pretty confident that I installed WPMU correctly, but I suspect that I didn’t install buddypress to the right location(s).

Please advise.

Yes BP is designed to work on $blog_id = 1 but there is no reason you can’t copy the widgets and create your own.

Perhaps in future versions of BuddyPress, you will be able to set where you want BuddyPress to be hosted along with the ability to set widgets as global or single blog.

(we also would like to let our future users use some of the widgets – but are working on a few other bits and pieces atm – I might create a patch when I free up some time)

I have searched the forums to answer this question with no success – but I hope I am not repeating a topic.

I really like everything about BuddyPress and its users – social networking for social people, I think I speak for everybody when I say ‘ask your question anyway and someone will try and answer’

Great changes will be in future.

Waiting.

yes i think this is the same problem i’m having …. the member’s blogs not the main admin one … the member blogs they can’t use a widget that displays any blog posts on their front page …. the only widget availble is a list and i mean

list of recent posts
what happens to the other widgets that are on the admin’s options like site wide activity or more importantly blog posts?

would like them to at least have a wordpress type latest posts homepage as their homepage on a buddypress/wpmu member blog

I know Prologue works fine on a vanilla install of WPMU 2.6.5 and with 2.7 beta. I haven’t bothered to try it with a buddypress install since the problems before, but if you don’t have site-wide tags plugin, it would make sense it is something it doesn’t like with buddypress. I would just disable them one at a time to find out which one screws it up. The only other thing that is constant might be the admin bar on it, but I can’t see that. Do you have the domain mapping plugin? That might be it as well….just fishing I guess

We’re interested in integrating a forum and defining new css next

Thanks

ps: we’re having issues with cropping of avatars

I had issues with this for multiple reasons. One was a WPMU issue, one was a sitewide tags from Donncha issue and one was a Buddypress issue. The WPMU issue was solved at one point around 2.6.3 release. The buddypress issue was tied to the plugin issue for sitewide tags and it was supposed to make it work, but I haven’t tried it. I know this is a nothing answer, but if it keeps asking you to login all the time, I would find out if disabling bp-blogs.php and/or sitewide tags fixes it to narrow down the issue.

hey…..im running a german site called iBlogle.de

Im also using a bbPress Forum with it…..forum.iBlogle.de

And the Ipod Touch News Blog iTouchable.de is also hosted by BuddyPress with its own bbPress forum…forum.iTouchable.de

And all these Sites are usable with only one Account….although ive a little problem with the cookie sharing between the TLD….so one has to login into both pages!

Hello, I have the same problem as many.

My buddypress installation is as follows:

Installed in http://mysite.org/testbp/

Permalinks: /news/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

When I click on one permalink of the root blog in the recent news section, it brings me to the blog post within the buddypress theme. However when I click on news, I get the header, the sidebar, but where the news should be just : “edit this entry” (without even the leftcol_header_back.gif appearing).

Any ideas?

just testing, playing and having fun. http://www.ajaxexample.com

Petomundo :This site is the best,I like the template while others are ok,but look the same!

I would agree this is very important. Both facebook and meetup have the ability to create events, invite people, rsvp, and send messages to attendees. Lacking this feature would be the only thing holding me up from a full fledged rollout of buddypress.
