BuddyPress.org

I hate to ask, but will this plugin see daylight at all?

I’m not mad or anything but the first post in this thread was started about 2 months ago. I do start wondering if this plugin might never be aviable for download?

There’s not too much you can do–unless you made a backup of your MySQL DB before messing with it in the backend.

You should always make a backup of your DB before you do anything to it that may result in changes to the data or the data schema. In fact, make a backup of your DB at the end of each coding day just incase the unexpected happens.

I assume that you did zero customizations to the data schema of your MySQL DB. If so, then just delete your current DB and then create a new one with the exact same username and password. But, if you do this, you’ll need to reinstall BuddyPress so that BP’s tables get created in the DB. You will also have to reenter any test data, but it should get you back up an running.

Also, I’m not sure why this is an issue:

I’ve customized so much code on the back end that reinstalling buddypress would be a huge pain.

Do you mean that you have hacked the core or WPMU and / or BuddyPress? If so, you should stop doing that as every time BuddyPress is updated, your hacks will be lost.

Instead of hacking the core BP files, either create your own custom plugin(s) to hold your code, or use the bp-custom.php file. That way, if and when you need to delete your install and start from scratch, you can easily do so. Just make sure you have back ups of any custom theme files, a listing of all your plugins, a copy of your bp-custom.php file, and a copy of your wp-config.php file assuming that you want to use the same MySQL DB.

Korhan-

Please report this as a bug in trac by creating a new ticket. You login to trac with the same credentials you use to log into this site.

The theme used on this site will not be made available. This question is asked about once a week. Here was the first thread that posed that question. See Andy’s response.

You can design your own theme to accomplish a similar effect–use Firefox with Firebug and see how Andy styled the theme.

I read about some plug-in that would give you the ability to do this. Search for buddypress in the plug-ins repository.

Installed! Thanks!

How about stats from Events plug-in?

If you need to deactivate BuddyPress and the problem persist, delete wp-content/plugins/buddypress

but this is not the best way :S Even if BuddyPress hasn’t yet deactivation hook in use..

You go to the themes admin and turn it off from there.

Does anyone know how much (server) memory is used by a single user visiting an integrated bbPress+BuddyPress installation (assuming standard installs and themes)? This could be a big impact on the ability of the system to scale to many users and lots of traffic.

I remember _ck_ (moderator on the bbPress forum) saying that it would be about 1MB, but that was before BackPress integrated a lot of the overlapping functionality.

How would one measure something like this?

Do you have other plugins installed that rely on BuddyPress being there? Maybe an early version of the BuddyBar, or something else? If there’s a plugin installed that requires a BuddyPress function to exist, and it doesn’t check appropriately for it being missing, you’ll experience this.

Just had a chance to see this Trace, glad you were able to get it resolved.

Just realised that it may not be a good idea using the array_shifts at the end, in case the array only contains one element. C’est la vie!
