BuddyPress.org

I replaced the images/logo.gif with my own graphic, and made a file called site-wide.css and it had either no effect, or not the desired effect. The graphic changed, I can see the top of my graphic in there, but the top section of the site cuts it off. I put this in my site-wide.css:

#attempt to make the logo area larger

#header h1 a {

text-indent: -999em;

background: url(../images/logo.gif) top left no-repeat;

overflow: hidden;

width: 550px;

height: 141px;

display: block;

float: left;

}

Any guidance appreciated!

Hi Anshuludapure,

I’m using this code:

My challenges are as follows –

1. Import the old data & other fields to corresponding WPMU database fields

2. Convert their passwords to encrypted passwords.

3. Send activation mail to all the users [handled by your plugin]

how many users do you have?

can you not simply enter them by hand and let WPMU generate a “new/temporary” password

yourcurrentuser|theirfirstname theirlastname|theiremail@email.com

that would

– Hash/encrypt their password (they still have to login and change it)

– import them into the DB

– send activation email/username + password

just a thought

Hey Manoj Kumar

great plugin… couple of questions

no matter how I format the user data, I always get “1 Error” and “processing complete”

example

username|firstname lastname|email@email.com => 1 Error

also, I’ve changed the “Full Name” profile field to be “first name” and added an additional field for “last name”… how does that change the format?

like this now?

username|firstname|lstname|email@email.com ?

thanks for your help

Re-read the instructions and try again? It sounds to me like some files aren’t in the correct spots or that some files were corrupted in the upload process.

To address your specific issues:

1.) The BuddyPress admin bar includes the link to your #2 question, but if you want to remove it from the front-end, you would have to check the defined('IN_ADMIN') variable and only load the buddybar if so. Could probably make a filter for this in functions.php, but I’m not in front of the source to give you a turn-key solution at the moment.

2.) The link is part of the buddybar. Otherwise you can type it in the address bar yourself or customize the theme to fit the way you want it to perform. Aside from that, none of the WPMU themes will know how to redirect you to any specific blog admin area aside from their own, and they wouldn’t know which other blogs you have access to. That’s what the BuddyBar is fore. (Note to self: It would be cool to have a link to the admin area of each blog when viewing /blogs/my-blogs.)

3.) Are you using a vanilla install with the vanilla theme? Vanilla meaning included… If so, do you have a link to your website so that I can see what’s happening?

Remember guys (and I realize this is no excuse) but neither BuddyPress nor bbPress are even 1.0 yet. As soon as function calls and display functions are finalized and tweaked for a stable 1.0 release, you’ll see tons of themes and templates and frameworks.

The opportunity currently exists for anyone with the time and motivation to swoop in and start blasting out themes for both platforms, but they would do it knowing that they may have to go back and redo some things after 1.0 is out.

I think right now everyone is waiting for the ball to drop, because no one wants to do the same work twice. I’d love to release my bbPress theme, but I have 0 time to answer questions about it or support it, and that’s not fair to anyone either.

Make sense?

i’m using hostgator and it’s fine for wordpressmu (and obviously buddypress too)

That could be the case, and may make more sense. In three BuddyPress installs and one test environment, I have yet to experience any avatar issues other than jumpy selection rectangles, which isn’t a BuddyPress issue as much as it’s an avatar javascript code/css positioning issue.

If you can duplicate the issue like you’ve described and keep a log of the steps you’ve taken to do so, (size of file uploaded, type of file [jpg|png|gif], new user/group, update user/group, etc) that would be awesome and would help us see more specifically what (if anything) needs tweaking.

Once we’re at that point, we take that info and add it to the trac as a ticket to say we’ve found the problem and here is how to recreate it.

guys where is this file? I’m not familiar with buddypress yet

It’s the BuddyPress Slash Attack of 2009. Andy is a sophisticated slash eliminating cyborg sent from the future to rid our support forums of quirky slash creating filters.

It’s actually quite exiting!

The filters on this install are a little quirky right now, so there will be some slashes here and there. I will fix it up soon. It’s nothing to do with group forums in BuddyPress.

My guess is that you were able to get that avatar back, or that they uploaded a new one, because it appears to me that they have an avatar now.

I haven’t looked into the specifics of what happens to an avatar once it has been uploaded, but what John S. Server Support is saying is that the anonymous user that is responsible for uploading an image to that directory on your server doesn’t have permission or that BuddyPress isn’t properly listening to the permissions of that directory.

I’m not sure how this is possible because BuddyPress does work for so many individuals in so many different situations. Running a directory permissions reset in a chronjob doesn’t really seem like a fix as much as it is a patch to an existing problem, because if it was working correctly it wouldn’t need a chron to go back and check its work.

To reiterate, you said what is happening is that the image gets uploaded, it’s physically on the server and visible in their profiles, and then out of no where the file just disappears out of the folder?
