BuddyPress.org

i’ve instaled wp-recaptcha with the instruction in readme file but the error messages aren’t shown… any idea to resolve this problem? thanks

So as per the bit of error msg you posted (possibly unrelated to the blank avatar icon I think but anyway):

[Wed May 27 11:52:40 2009] [error] [client 66.249.71.151] File does not exist: /home/thehsm/public_html/wp-content/plugins/membership-site-memberwing/function.require-once

That is a) a garbled filename/file path and b) not part of BuddyPress. I suggest talking to the author of that plugin to try to find out what’s going on. There appears to be some specific instructions in that plugin’s readme.txt about where to locate the memberwing.php file.

Thanks for the clear answer John James Jacoby.

I vote and added a long comment. The registration process is the heart of the system imho. I really hope it gets upgraded to a more mature standard before even thinking about adding lots more ‘cool’ features and ‘widgetizing everything’.

A more mature, flexible and extendable registration system would dramatically broaden the possible uses of Buddypress.

Dennyhalim-

I just took a quick visit to the Hoard Hunter plugin page. This is what is says about:

Hoard Hunter is an online treasure map game designed and developed for people who would like an easy (and fun) method of fund raising online. The system comprises of a custom plugin and integrated theme. The Hoard Hunter site is powered by WordPress MU (though the system will also run on standard WordPress) and uses a number of WordPress plugins to provide additional functionality.

My First thought is that I would not even attempt to use this with BuddyPress. This looks like a complicated plugin that relies on many other plugins and its own custom theme to do some complex stuff. It is ripe with problems waiting to happen.

Also, it is not clear if this plugin suite, as it really should be considered, works with WPMU 2.7.1. You need to contact the developer and ask. There does not seem to be an activity on that plugin’s thread for almost 6 months and the images do not load on the website. This is never a good sign.

As is stated above, Hoard Hunter is a “system [comprised] of a custom plugin and integrated theme” and it relies on “a number of WordPress plugins to provide additional functionality”. You are dealing with a potentially large mess here in figuring out what is going on.

As John and I both suggested, you need to deactivate the Hoard Hunter plugin and all other plugins that Hoard Hunter is using. Furthermore, you need to switch back to the default BuddyPress themes. In other words, to troubleshoot this issue, you need to strip down your install to the lowest common denominator and see if the problem goes away.

So, just using the BuddyPress plugins and no other WPMU plugins, and just using the standard, default BP themes, does the problem go away. If so, you then start working your way backwards, adding a plugin at a time until either everything works or you find the problem.

It could also be an issue with Hoard Hunter’s “integrated theme”.

I hope this is just a development install and not an ongoing WPMU community to which your trying to add BP. If it is an ongoing community, perhaps you should stick with what you have and forget using BP.

If you wish to continue troubleshooting, and you have important data to protect, please make sure you know what you are doing, that you are comfortable with troubleshooting this issue. You’ll need to make backups of your database, your themes, upload directories, plugins–in other words everything. Why? Because there are no guarantees.

the latest version of bbPress is required so (RC-1).

if you have MU+BP up and running see this doc https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/installation-readme.txt is the instruction to install and integrate bbPress in MU and BP.

As far as I know, currently this is not possible. It is more a WPMU issue than a BuddyPress issue.

However, there is a future enhancement ticket in trac to provide this functionality via BP. I do not think it has high priority on Andy’s list, but you never know!

Until then, you could look into using this premium plugin.

1.. make sure the template file for your member theme contains /friends/index.php and everything is kosher there.. and then make sure that you don’t have another page/post named friends, and you don’t have a url rewrite rule for friends in your. htaccess file.

2. the avatar upload is most likely due to misconfig of the GD Library.

try here – https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2454

3. default for the home page? did you change the theme? can you put up a link?

Alpha version of a social network for African journalists/writers/bloggers/ etc. Using buddypress theme which is really great and clean with minor tweaks. Is this the first buddypress site in Africa?

somebody please explain…

if i already have object-cache.php

do i still need db-cache?

isnt both do the same thing?

I am also having memory issues.

Question about your solution:

If you set the max memory to 40 MB, won’t it run out of memory faster? (assuming you have more than 40 MB available).

im completely confused here, bbpress is a separate thing we need to add/install to buddypress?

sorry im new to all this and have successfully installed wordpressmu and buddypress, but i thought the bbpress already was included in the buddypress download since it gave me options to enable it….please help? thanks

@Michael-

The title of your thread says, “Recent Posts Widget Bug?”

So, let’s again clarify. With exactly which widget are you seeing this behavior? The “Recent Blog Posts” widget, or the “Recent Post” widget?

The former is a BuddyPress widget, the latter is a WPMU widget.

I’m closing this thread. A solution to Skollie’s issue is provided in this thread.

Skollie-

I just looked into this and found that Mike’s widget is using a deprecated function call

bp_group_permalink

This changed somewhere down the road to BP v1.0. So, if you are comfortable with opening up a PHP file and making two easy changes, you can search for that function in his widget and replace the above call with

bp_get_group_permalink

If you are not comfortable with doing this, then message Mike and give him the url for this forum thread, kindly begging him to fix his widget as quickly as possible or the world will end.

Actually, if you make the changes to the code yourself, it would also be nice of you to let Mike know that his widget needs a little TLC.

Okay, a couple of thoughts:

1. Off the top of my head I’d say the quickest way to offer some solution is by creating a new extended field and letting your members paste their blog URLs in that field. Call the field My Other Blogs.

This would not bring in any of your members’ blog posts though. It would simply provide a standard place to put an external link to their blog(s). You could tell them how to make the urls look a little prettier by using an href tag.

<a href="http://myotherblogurl/">Hey, look at my cool blog!</a>

2. You could use the FeedwordPress plugin to allow your members a way to aggregate their external blog posts. I’ve never used this and I have no idea how it will play with BuddyPress.

3. You could suggest, possibly offering as a premium service, that they move their other WordPress-based blogs to your site. You would then use Donncha’s Domain Mapping Plugin to faciliate that move while allowing your members to keep their original domains. I’ve never done this, so there may be a lot more to it than meets the eye.

In essence, you would have your existing internal Mu blogs co-existing with all the newly imported and mapped blogs. I’m not sure what conflicts this could cause with WPMU or BuddyPress.

Amhyaut-

Which version of BuddyPress are you running? Whereas I do see the potential error you’re referring to in the two testbp.org links above, when I went to my test install, I could not replicate this behavior.

At first the “uncategorized” category appeared in the member theme when navigating to “Blogs > Recent Posts”. But when I went into the blog’s dashboard and edited the post by reselecting a new category, making sure that “uncategorized” was deselected, and then hitting the “Update Post” button, the problem disappeared upon refreshing the member theme page in my browser.

Perhaps this has something to do with cached data in testbp.org. So, I would not submit a new ticket in trac.

@Ceeeeg

A couple of thoughts:

1. You’ve mentioned that you set the permissions on blogs.dir to 777. Check to make sure that the user & the group for that directory is not root:root
2. Try disabling the Welcome Package plugin, although this should not be related to your issue in any way. Also, contact DJPaul and let him know about this error.
