BuddyPress.org

I use the CubePoints plugin however the show Top users widget does not work.

A more buddypress orientated plugin would be appreciated.

There is an article in codex on this topic!

Well, done! I know you have put a lot of time into this project and it shows!

i have noticed that it is really slow… how can i get this sorted do i contact my server… could my site be slow due to all the plugins

There are a number of reasons this could be happening. It could be plugin related. You may wish to investigate instituting object caching. See this article: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/improving-performance/

But, the best initial advice is to contact your hosting firm and have them help you figure this out. Depending on the hosting plan you have, a few of the more obvious causes are:

– There could be memory issues (caused by insufficient memory allocated to your account, by memory leakage, by Apache being poorly configured, your site is hitting a memory limit–although with memory limits you usually receive a message indicating just that)

– You may be hitting a preset bandwidth limit (so much throughput over a given short period of time). But you should receive some sort of a message if this is the case.

– If you are on a shared, non-vps setup, you could simply be getting penalized by other sites unfairly hogging the server’s resources.

– It could be a MySQL server issue

These are just a few of the possibilities. Your hosting firm should be able to help you pinpoint the cause–or at least get close to understanding what is happening.

First of all, you still may have an issue with the bppicture-album plugin being improperly installed. The readme.txt file has an error in its “Theme” section. It states that:

Move the "/wp-content/plugins/bp-album/album/" directory

to "/wp-content/bp-themes/bpmember/"



"album" directory should be at the same level as "/wp-content/bpmember/groups"

and "/wp-content/bpmember/profile" etc...

You need to do this instead:

Keep /bp-album/ within the bppicture-album directory.

What you need to relocate is the album directory.



So, you move the "album" directory out of /bppicture-album/ and

place it into /wp-contents/bp-themes/bpmember/.

Make sure you have done that. If you have done this properly and are getting this message, then you will have to go through the process of deactivating all the other plugins (except BuddyPress), then reactivating them one at a time until you see the problem occur.

r-a-y

You are not going crazy!

The reason you cannot find a “Settings” page in the Skeleton Member theme is the same as why you cannot find one in the default bpmember theme (if you look). It is handled via one of the core BuddyPress files. Look at bp-core-settings.php and you’ll find what you need.

I have installed: ajaxContact, bpGroups – BuddyPress Plugin, Event Calendar, Event Calendar Widget, Lightbox Gallery and NextGEN Gallery.

Donnacha-

You are correct. It should not be that difficult. There are a few special characters in an email address that may need to be properly handled ( the period, the @ sign, potentially a dash in some addresses).

I suppose you could use htmlentities() to do this, but I don’t see why it would not work. Although I believe WPMU simply escapes the email address on POST.

Of course, this would not prevent people from entering an all-character username. I guess you’d simply perform the standard check to see if a validly-formatted email address was entered.

In fact as one of the goals for BuddyPress (and therefore I assume WPMU) is to implement the Open Stack, there will need to be a way for people to signup and sign in using their email address.

I have not seen Pcrain in the forums for quite some time. I doubt you’ll get a response. This thread was started 8 months ago. Since then, the BuddyPress codebase has changed considerably and the solutions presented in this thread may be out of date.

If you have not yet read this thread, please do so.

To your point, a proper privacy component is in the works. It will be available as a plugin on a future version of BuddyPress.

marcin_albatros-

This could be caused by another plugin being improperly installed. Do you have any plugins besides BuddyPress and bppicture-album installed and activated? If so, what are they.

And try reading burtadsit’s post here.

Lots of people run into this issue, not only with BuddyPress but almost any php web package. Web hosts just don’t want to allocate that much memory to their users unless they need it.

My guess (and this is a long-shot) is that you cannot leave the field blank once you’ve entered something in there, but BuddyPress also won’t lock you into that screen if it is.

Otherwise users could find themselves in all sorts of redirect problems going from profile group to group.

I haven’t tried that part yet myself though.

If there’s 5 required fields on the page, and you fill in 4 of them, in my opinion it should still save the 4 you filled in.

I hooked it up here locally. I see what you mean. Its because we have to reset all the array keys to start at zero and have no gaps. The template loop stuff is funny like that.

$my_excluded = array();

for ($i = 0; $i < count($this->blogs['blogs'])-1; $i++){

if (in_array($this->blogs['blogs'][$i]->blog_id, $my_excluded)){

unset($this->blogs['blogs'][$i]);

$this->blogs['total'] = ((int)$this->blogs['total'])-1;

}

}

$this->blogs['blogs'] = array_merge( array(), $this->blogs['blogs'] );

The last bit with the array_merge() does that.
