BuddyPress.org

Erwin, first of all, thanks for all of your hard work on the plugin!

I uploaded events version .55 into a fresh install of MU with the latest BP trunk.

I was able to save the events correctly. I’m also able to see the events in the widgets.

But I have 2 Issues:

1) Directory – There is no ‘events’ folder under /bp-themes/buddypress-member/directories. So, when I select Events on the navigation tab to display the events directory, it defaults to ‘members’ and doesn’t display anything but the sidebar.

2) When I go to the events detail page (by selecting from the widget), It has the correct url and displays the blog sidebar, however… no details show. I have reread your instructions about 23 times and think I have everything correctly. Does this sound familiar? I thought it was with member themes, but everything looks good.

Thanks

‘BuddyPress Groups for bbPress’. That’s a bbPress plugin, so be sure to install it in the right place. It’s made by a suspicious chap called Burtadsit, so watch out

I don’t remember that particular issue being fixed but obviously it has. It’s not happening in the trunk. You can login to trac and post bugs or suggestions for enhancements. That’s the place that gets attention.

Same login as here.

Just gave it a try with the newest trunk and still experience two errors:

1 – When saving changes in an existing or saving a new event: “There was an error saving event details. Please try again.”

2 – When trying to view existing events: “Sorry, the event does not exist.” (http://dev.q-tipp.org/buddypress/events/cafe-bukarest)

This is in the pipeline to come in future releases of BuddyPress (after v1.0).

I finally got a site up: http://thevictorygarden.us

Not much content yet. Just really a concept. Any tips, ideas or guidance will be most appreciated. If your starting a garden this spring, please do join. I’d love to see where we can take this. Thanks.

Hey Lars,

See this thread: “after login redirect to another page” for ideas and a plugin that provides this functionality.

Hi Tutsie,

This type of change would typically be done with a plugin. Keep in mind that this isn’t a BuddyPress customization as much as it is a WordPress MU one.

I did a quick Google search for “change wordpress admin profile link” and found a few places you could start.

In this WordPress forum topic is some code that would change the behavior of the profile link (albeit for a different reason); this method of changing the admin behavior isn’t recommended, however, since it requires hacking a core file. A plugin would be much better since it doesn’t require changing the core file (and having to stress about updating your WordPress MU code later).

Depending on how much you want to work on this, you could download these two plugins: WP Hide Dashboard and Admin Menu Management, open them up in a text editor, and look at how they change the menus in the WordPress admin area.

Plugins do two things: (1) they provide a new functionality and (2) they hijack the normal WordPress behavior and perform the functionality described in the plugin instead.

Hope that helps…

GREAT!

@Trent,

Turns out the problem wasn’t of my making at all and I was doing everything correctly!

So why didn’t it work?

My hosting provider doesn’t allow rpc calls to the same server, so I ended up splitting the installation, WMPU and Buddypress on my main domain and bbPress on another domain on a different server.

All works great! If you want to read the saga it’s all in its own thread here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2027

How about bbpress plugins in the forum working on buddypress CMS, would it happen?

It’s my intention to make bbPress integration with WPMU and BuddyPress even simpler and better over time. Many changes have already been made to both WPMU and bbPress core to help BuddyPress along and that cooperation will exist in the future.

If you just downloaded it from bp.org then it’s RC1. If you are not using svn then you can by getting a client app like TortiseSVN for Windows. http://tortoisesvn.net/

The url to get the latest source is: https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk

Running the trunk version of bp requires you to be running wpmu 2.7.1 which is only available by svn at: http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7

There have been changes in the member theme directory and bp’s move from the /mu-plugins dir to the /plugins dir in wpmu.

Not a stupid question at all.

As of revision 1270 in trunk you can now disable the admin bar like this in your “wp-config” file:

define('BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR', true);

That way you don’t need any of those custom overrides in your “bp-custom” file.

@Seobrien — good point.

I will post some better/updated directions soon…

For now, the pertinent change to know about is switch from “wp-content/mu-plugins” to the new location for plugins, which is “wp-content/plugins/buddypress”. The “bp-custom.php” file goes inside that folder, and the languages files go inside “wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages”.

This will work anyway if bp is switched off and when someone switch on it he will give a redeclaration error

Look here:

$active_plugins = get_site_option( 'active_sitewide_plugins' );

if ( isset( $active_plugins['buddypress/bp-loader.php'] ) )

require_once( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . 'bp-core.php' );

or making a system of hooks in hooks i made fo bpdev plugins to prevent “undefinied functions error”

RPX is pretty well documented over at https://rpxnow.com/docs and http://rpxwiki.com/, so any one that has time (sorry, but I don’t) should be able to write a BuddyPress add-on that implements RPX. I would have used the FB-Connect plugin as a starting point.
