BuddyPress.org

John, I am using the VERSIONS of software that you suggested already and thought I had it working and was pretty excited until I ran into point 2.

Point 1 : The same exact thing is happening when I ONLY use the forum part. I can create as many forums as I want, but any topic I post goes straight to a “This topic has been closed >> Back to …” no other message.

I suppose this also addresses point #2.

When you say that there will be a lot of action in the bbpress and buddypress realm, do you know this for a fact? Is this insider information? I want to use this for another client project that just came up, but cant do so until all bugs are worked out and the installation is more integrated.

Thanks John and Burt for thinking about this one.

I’m actually a bit fuzzy on what you mean by Deep integration Burt.

I gave some thoughts to this topic and my conclusion so far is, that it would be the best solution to set up a WPMU + Buddypress System for each language. The only thing that would be needed is a Plugin that shares the Userdata between these systems. A user who signed up on your swedish installation of WPMU + Buddypress should be able to use this account for your english version too and so on.

One could do it as on wordpress.com, where wordpress.com is the main website. If You choose a different language, say german (.de) you get redirected to de.wordpress.com and only german content will appear.

I have this installed and working great, but the facebook connect button seems to screw up the css in internet explorer…it pushes the members/blogs/groups search and the default login together, so there is literally no space between the two, and the facebook connect button is all the way to the right of the screen. Is there any way around that?

Also, I have my BuddyPress theme in a subdomain: (community.mydomain.com), and when you click a member’s name who used Facebook Connect to sign up, their avatar does not work in the member theme…instead it just shows the default avatar monster things.

Should my member theme be showing up as community.mydomain.com/members/user1 or just mydomain.com/members/user1? Because currently it’s the latter, and everything works fine except the Facebook Connect Avatars.

Thanks!

I think this issue was resolved recently. I remember seeing something about that in trac and seeing it come through SVN.

Try the latest svn trunk version of bp: https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk

Anything is possible if you can program in php. See the new skeleton theme download at: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/create-a-buddypress-member-theme/

That’s if you are talking about the member theme. The home theme is just a normal wp theme and there are tons of docs and sites dedicated to helping you with that. Google is your friend.

I’m going to close this topic and refer everyone to the External Blogs topic going forward.

(Let me know if there are any objections?)

donnacha-

I’ve been following the other thread you mention in your first post. So as not to double post, you can read my recent thoughts on this issue here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1485#post-8136

devweb, sorry about the little thread jacking

There is a plugin on WPMU Dev ( http://wpmudev.org/project/default-user-role ) that allows admins to set the default user role on signup. There’s also this plugin ( http://agapetry.net/news/introducing-role-scoper/ ) that seems to offer significant role customization in WP. However, I cannot find this particular plugin in the WP repositry so beware.

You may also get some useful ideas from this thread on the Mu forums: https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=8217

Granted, these are all WPMU-specific ideas, not BuddyPress. But Mu is the platform on which BP sits, so this may be of some use if you’re planning to code your own solution.

(i use wordpressmu 2.65, buddypress svn version more recent than RC1, italian localization)

hi Andy, i’m trying the facebook connect locally.I’ve copie the bp-fbconnect.php file and the bp-fbconnect folder in my plugins folder but after inserting the api key and updating options i receive this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘FacebookRestClientException’ with message ‘Template bundles must include at least one one line story template.’ in C:xampphtdocswordpressmuwp-contentpluginsbp-fbconnectwp-facebookconnectfacebook-clientfacebookapi_php5_restlib.php:1857 Stack trace: #0 C:xampphtdocswordpressmuwp-contentpluginsbp-fbconnectwp-facebookconnectfacebook-clientfacebookapi_php5_restlib.php(414): FacebookRestClient->call_method(‘facebook.feed.r…’, Array) #1 C:xampphtdocswordpressmuwp-contentpluginsbp-fbconnectwp-facebookconnectfbconnect.php(567): FacebookRestClient->feed_registerTemplateBundle(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL) #2 C:xampphtdocswordpressmuwp-contentpluginsbp-fbconnectwp-facebookconnectfbconnect.php(262): fbc_register_templates(false) #3 C:xampphtdocswordpressmuwp-includesplugin.php(311): fbc_admin_options(”) #4 C:xampphtdocswordpressmuwp-adminadmin.php(56): do_action(‘fbc_admin_optio…’, Array) #5 C:xampphtdocswordpressmuwp-adminoptions-general.php(2): require in C:xampphtdocswordpressmuwp-contentpluginsbp-fbconnectwp-facebookconnectfacebook-clientfacebookapi_php5_restlib.php on line 1857

It’s a security hole and it’s closed by default. If you choose to open it you can modify the filters that bp uses. Example is the forums filter system:

bp_forums_add_allowed_tags() in ../bp-forums/bp-forums-filters.php is the filter you can extend.

function my_allowed_tags($allowedtags){

$allowedtags = array();

return $allowedtags;

}

add_filter( ‘edit_allowedtags’, ‘my_allowed_tags’ );

Create a file called bp-custom.php and put it in the /mu-plugins directory with the rest of the main bp files. Put that function in there. It’ll get loaded by bp.

Other components have a /bp-<component>/bp-<component>-filters.php file also.

BuddyPress strips object and embed tags from my posts entirely.

That XMLRPC approach sounds interesting. Your BPContent concept looks very promising. Should provide a great framework for all sorts of shenanigans with Buddypress .

While XMLRPC is provided by blogs, often it has to be explicitly enabled, which I guess is fine. I assume that the benefit of using XMLRPC over plain RSS is also that you can get more info out of external blogs, like number of comments for a post – that would be cool.

I’ll keep an eye on this thread for sure . Thanks.

I think we’re saying the same thing in two different ways.

Colors, yes. bbPress, yes. BuddyPress integration, No.

They don’t. Not one that’s meant for BuddyPress anyhow.

Remember this website, while orange, isn’t using BuddyPress.
