Participant$bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;
TheEasyButton
Oh, thank god you exist in this world

You were right…
I actually made several mistakes, that I wanted to point out, and then my final post on this topic will lead to the url to where I found out how to fix my issues.
But, thanks to TheEasyButton and John James Jacoby for their help. As it truly helped.
Also a big thanks to Trent Adams for writing up that helpful tutorial found sticky on these buddypress forums.
I had forgotten several steps
– Add the code to the bottom of the bb-config file, that TheEasyButton mentioned above.
– Disable forum discussions on new or existing group forums, and then re-enable them after they are created or working.
– Needed to be signed in to both WPMU and BBPRESS as the administrator and not the key master. I had forgotten to set up my new admin account to have admin priviledges on the bbpress side. Woops… like big woops.

There are two MAJOR things I wanted to point out.
– If you tried to intall bbpress 1.0.1 by itself as fresh install, then I kept getting a major error that said, “Could not create new forum” during installing. I had to install bbpress 1.0 first to a new SQL database, then I removed all the files from the BBPRESS folder, and then uploaded the new bbpress 1.0.1 files. Which once I installed this new version, the SQL database was already set up for bbpress, so it just treated it as updating. Someone at BBPRESS really needs to fix that, as I’m sure many people are running into that problem.
– The last thing I would like to mention, is that I didn’t really see on the tutorial article about helpful forum integration on the buddypress forums, about the cookies. I probably just missed that part, but it is very important that even when you overwrite your bbpress files, that when you over write your bb_config file, that you make sure the cookies are set and match wp_config cookies, of course with the bb_ prefix within the cookie parameters. Such as:
define( ‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’ );
define( ‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);
define( ‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’ );
define( ‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’ );
define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);
define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);
define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’);
define( ‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 1 );
If you forget that last line, then it will definitely mess up everything too. But, the plugins placed into the right directories are the most important. This also doesn’t include that some buddy press plugins require that you move certain files from those plugins into your default buddy press theme. You also have to have a default buddy press theme in order to see everything properly too.
One more thing,
Hopefully, one day, someone will create an easier way to do all of this. Everything is so scattered all over the place, and right now, it can take a newbie several hours to get everything set up the way it is suppose to be. So, hopefully, somebody might create a program or something that will just automatically do everything for you or done through a central area at least.
Thanks again for the help,
my problem is solved.

ParticipantOh my head hurts. *laughs*
I’ve still not been able to do this from scratch. I think there’s either a file that BP is looking for or something in the database that’s been omitted from the newest release of bbPress.
But for now, hopefully this solution will work.

ParticipantOne thing that might help is to put the following code on bb-config.
$bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;I’ve tried to do this install from scratch for almost a week and have failed every time. But here are the steps I’ve been taking to get all of the newest releases to work together.
As always – get backups before making any changes!!
After you get wpmu & bp installed, install bbPress alpha 6 using my tutorial
Steps 24-28 deal with cookies. Ignore those and instead, use the bbPress integration plugin to get the codes for all of that. Then, delete the plugin.
After you get alpha 6 working correctly (group discussion works & login integration works), rename your bb-config file. Then overwrite the alpha 6 files with bbPress 1.0.1 Don’t delete the files!!! Overwrite them!! I think there’s a file being left behind that bp looks for & it isn’t included in the new version.
After overwriting the files, navigate to your forums. (i.e. domain.com/forums) and you’ll be presented with an install screen. Enter your database info & on the next page it will tell you that the database is already there & you probably want to use the upgrade script. Go through & do that part.
When finished with the database upgrade, open your old (renamed) bb-config file and copy all of your manually added codes over to your new bb-config file. Save & upload & all that good stuff.
At this point, group discussion should work. If not, check your xml settings & make sure they’re still on. The buddypress enable plugin (found in forum settings) doesn’t need to be activated.
*fingers crossed*

ParticipantWell, now I am on a shared hosting service. I honestly have no idea how to check the cookies from the website directly even from the cpanel.
I really do like WordPressMU and buddypress, and my main goal was to use buddy press’s group forum discussions, which utilize bbpress.
I had this working before, and now it just keeps giving some error when I try to post a forum topic in the group discussions:
“There was an error posting that topic.”
Is there any error logs that buddypress, wordpress mu or bbpress produces that can at least show me what in the world is causing the error?
I went into my CPANEL and there are no errors being shown in its error logs.
I thought it was BBPRESS 1.0.1, so I downgraded to BBPRESS 1.0, and keep in mind I created a whole new sql database and username during this, and of course that didnt work.
Then I downgraded to BBPRESS 1.0-RC3, and that didn’t work either. Nothing really has changed, except for bbpress. I have double checked the wp_config and bb_config keys and they all match up perfectly.
However, the cookie hash key has remained the same throughout the entire situation, even after creating new databases and such.
I honestly can’t think of anything else to really do here. I guess, I’m stuck.
For now, I will keep trying, but I’m also just going to look for something else in the mean time to see if anything else is out there. I doubt it, but couldn’t hurt to look.
I truly hope somebody has something else to add regarding my issues, because I honestly have no idea what to do next.

KeymasterBack from the dead, looks like this topic has resparked some interest. I suspect this will be less of a BuddyPress thing and more of a WPMU thing as it comes down the pipeline.
@Donnacha, looks like someone changed the status for you. Marking topics as resolved serves multiple purposes, and at that time it was fair to say development had begun and the request was resolved. Now that it’s not, it’s not. We’ll be sure to take your perpsective into account going forward though as it makes sense to approach feature requests like you suggest.

ParticipantBurt Adsit developed a plugin called “Community Blogs for BuddyPress”. The cool thing is that it adds users silently to the set blog by the admin.
I will look at his approach and see if it is at all possible to have moderators of the group added silently as well. And maybe members at a different level.
So an group admin would be the blog admin. Group moderators would be editors and group members, authors.
Probably an additional menu should be available to select what role group members get assigned. I thought about this as well, so good feature request

InactiveHi Jeff,
My external membership script that passes user information to Buddypress is handling this very well. I just add an underscore to the username in the external membership db and it passes the updated information via the plugin to Buddypress. Very nice!
What a relief! Thanks for your inputs.

ParticipantAre your theme files in wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember? It sounds like they are in some other place. These are template related errors, usually the template files are in the wrong directory (they have to be OUT of buddypress dir), or the permissions are set wrong.

ParticipantOk, using John’s deep integration method loses the forums functionality between BuddyPress and bbPress. Why would that happen?

russell-crosswy
ParticipantThank you…
The abs.php file returned a different path I wasn’t considering.
When I put that path into bb-config.php I lose the integration between BuddyPress and bbPress.
So, I’m thinking I’m doing something else wrong in the integration between WPMU, BP, and BB.
I’ll dig in to check settings, any suggestions on where to start?
July 10, 2009 at 1:15 am #48981In reply to: BuddyBar for bbPress
John James Jacoby
KeymasterThe reason why it’s not working is because you’re not using the method included in the plugin.
The groups posting ability relies on XMLRPC, which cannot be re-included when bbPress is loaded via the BuddyPress installation. Using my included method of deep integration will still allow for this functionality to work.
Science!
When you go to create a group forum, WordPress is loaded, BuddyPress is loaded, bbPress gets loaded through XMLRPC, which without my deep integration method will try to reload WordPress again, over-writing or clearing all of the bbPress functions/variables/hooks/filters, killing the XMLRPC ability to transmit data through the pipe.Just bumped to 1.0.3. The plugin now does enhanced checking for the visibility of the BuddyBar/AdminBar as it would previously fail if the bar was hidden in bp-custom.php or wp-config.php.
If you are receiving errors regarding BP_Roles in your BuddyBar, apply patch #1032 to your WPMU trunk installation.

ParticipantUse the official instructions from the readme.txt.
http://svn.wp-plugins.org/buddybar-in-bbpress/trunk/readme.txt
Swap out the include_once line for this:
include_once($_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’].’/wp-blog-header.php’);
In most cases that will work, but let us know what happens!
Tried that and forums would not work with BuddyPress.
The only way I can keep the forums working with BuddyPress is to keep that line in bb-config.php as:
include_once( 'http://mydomain.com/wp-blog-header.php' );Now leaving that line in bb-config I can post from BuddyPress groups into the forums.
AND I can now activate the BuddyBar in bbPress plugin, BUT I don’t see the BuddyBar in bbPress!
Now, could this be an issue somewhere else in bb-config.php?
I have the integration working and everything, but I’m wondering if I have set something somewhere that is throwing this off…
Thanks for the help!

in group forum Installing BuddyPressMarcomail
ParticipantI don’t know buddypress, i’d know if i can install only the principal blog, the forum, the member list with photo galleries and stop, i’m not interested in groups, blogs etc etc
i’d only a single registration for blog and forum and a user profile with the personal galleries.
is it possible use the exist theme of wordpress and bbpress or i must modify all the code ? can i use wordpress plugin ?

ParticipantI did that but now its saying..
You do not have any BuddyPress themes installed.
Please move “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/” to “/wp-content/bp-themes/” and refresh this page. You can download more themes here.
when i tried to view a specific events page
however i have copied all the stated files on the required direectories in bpmember theme.
contents are also showing blank pages.

ParticipantOk, the fix I posted about earlier fixed the issue with BuddyBar…
However, it breaks the BuddyPress to forums functionality.
I just checked and switching out that one line of code in bb-config.php will make the “Enable discussion forum” button in a group’s settings and I can’t post to the forum from a group page in BuddyPress.
I’m pasting verbatim into bb-config.php:
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-blog-header.php');Is that correct? Or do $_SERVER and DOCUMENT_ROOT need to be filled in with different items?
July 9, 2009 at 10:06 pm #48965In reply to: why same image for groups and profile ?
abcde666
Participantchanging the image-source does not help.
You also need to change the CS is in the PHP-files.
So for example: ONE PHP-file refers to CSS-code in different sections of the BP-website (like “Member-Wire” and “Group-Wire”).
So if I change the CSS in the PHP-file, ALL images will change (in both “Member-Wire” and “Group-Wire”) . But I do not want to have ALL images changed, just specific ones in the “member-Wire”-section.
So how to achieve this ?
Suggestion for BuddyPress:
Generally speaking, BuddyPress-software should organized its CSS-codes specific to website-sections (like Members, Groups, Wire).
Currently the CSS-code is specified more like for “left-column” , “center-column” or “right-column”.
Doing so, will make it easier for developers to customize their websites……

ParticipantHas anyone done a completely new install of the latest wpmu, buddypress and bbpress successfully? I’m not getting the integration between buddypress and bbpress, nor the ability to create forums in bbpress.
Just seems that every success thread I read relates to upgrading from alpha/rc for one or more components, and I’m wondering if by doing so there’s something that was overlooked in the (now missing) documentation for new installs.
Appreciate any help on this – it’s a test install that thus far has been great, but now I’m wishing there was full-on documentation available
