BuddyPress.org

It’s neither actually anymore.

It involves “deep integration” on the bbPress side, including WordPress/BuddyPress inside bbPress, and then making a new theme for bbPress that matches.

Trent and I are working on a comprehensive walk-through on how to do this soon.

First, please read this entire thread (all the posts) at least two times through before starting: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1994

Then read through these links:

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/installing-through-svn/

Once you’ve done that, have a SVN client installed, and feel confident, go back to the first link in this post and follow the instructions.

From where do I get the most recent versions?

Those links are provided in the detailed instructions contained in the first link above.

Read this thread and see if that helps:

Damn, I”m bit confused. I’m using RC1. Please answer this simple question:

Q> When the stable version of Buddypress is released, will it be possible to migrate to the stable version from RC1?

I’m sure the database tables will be altered. So when I migrate to the stable version, will I be required to do custom database migrations? Or will it be handled by the upgrade script?

Good point, Burt!

Will it be safe to have latest SVN version on production site? I am not sure about it so asking..

Safe? Well, both the latest WPMU branch and BuddyPress trunk versions are still in development. It is always a gamble to use pre-release packages in production.

By the way, BuddyPress RC1 is not production ready. So, you take risks running it on a production site. Once BuddyPress has its first public release, you can then start deploying it into a production environment.

However, it sounds like you’re already using BP on a production site. You might want to consider temporarily shutting that aspect of your site until you either fix this issue, or until BuddyPress is officially released and you’ve upgraded to the pubic release version.

Getting back to the invite friends plugin issue, did you just delete it or did you first deactivate it then delete it? Have you done any updates to WPMU since deletion?

Awaiting the member theme to look like new buddypress member theme ie one column.

There was a recent change (Changeset 1295) to bp-blogs.php that stopped spam comments from being recorded in activity streams.

As Burt points out, newer versions of BP no longer have individual user activity tables, but I suppose this bug combined with an older version of BP could expose you to significant spam problems. I cannot verify this without looking at the older code. It is just a hunch.

I would recommend taking your site offline (if in production) and then upgrading your installation following the instructions found here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1994

We are using blogs since 1999/2000. We ran on Userland Manila, then on individual WP sites. We moved to WPMU a while ago and now “upgraded” that with BuddyPress.

We need to change the organisation and update the templates a bit to better address the new users to the site (as it is not a general purpose social community), but I am waiting fo the dust to settle with BP 1.0, so that an own templates will be more stable.

I am currently transferring all the old Manila sites to WPMU.

Update:

I overlooked the “Please also make sure you are not using the MU trunk, but the 2.7 branch.” — I was using the WPMU trunk. So I “downgraded” to the 2.7 branch.

Now I have “Activate XYZ plugin sitewide”-Options in the Plugin area. I still have a single BP-Plugin though. I activated the BP Plugin sitewide. And it seems to worl fine.

But I ran into following problem:

I needed to update “/wp-includes/capabilities.php” to the one of the trunk-Version. The one of the 2.7-branch gave me this error on all pages:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in

/www/wpmu/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 537



Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in

/www/wpmu/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 537



Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in

/www/wpmu/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 539

I am confused by step #4:

Log in as a site admin, and head to the \”Plugins\” admin panel. You will need to activate each plugin (activate CORE first).

In my context the BuddyPress plugin in shows up as a single plugin – I can’t enable “each plugin and activate CORE first”.

I also seem to have the problem, that all my MU sites are “out of the BP context” now. Their activity/comments do now show up in the global activity stream anymore until I manually enable the (singular) BuddyPress-Plugin on each MU site. (see this thread here https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2122).

Odd….

For BP there is – https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/1324/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip.

But if you’re going to use cutting-edge development versions, I would strongly recommended using SVN to get the files out directly as then it’s really, really easy to upgrade to latest versions.
