BuddyPress.org

Hi burtadsit, I read it all (exclamationmark ) English is not my “tongue”, but I hope I got the main idea. It sounds AWESOME!!!

Just to check, if I got that right: (I think I would need exactly something like that, because I am running a community for young-leaders who can submit and search for relevant resources in youth-work. )

With that project I have tagged almost everything on my whole mu-site. Posts (sure…), but also bp-events, forum-stuff, wire-stuff, groups, etc…

I can collect those tags for groups etc, but also show them in a kind of sitewide (forum, buddypress,”normal”wpmu) tagcloud? THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!! So everybody finds exactly what they are searching for… (better than eny search engine…).

Right? (if not, that would be a suggestion for a feature or something

Thanks for your work!

It’s a known bug, I think. Here’s a workaround: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/519

Not a perfect solution, but one that works . . .

anointed:

I think there are many that has the same consensus as you.

MattKern:

Depends on many things; the amount of blogs, server performance and traffic. That is probably hard to say.

WPMU

To translate the WPMU, which I think you want to do, do this:

1. Download the POT file for regular WordPress, current version. WPMU have a lot of strings that are the same. You save a lot of work.

2. Download PoEdit, http://www.poedit.net , install it

3. Download current WPMU

4. Open the POT file for the regular WP

5. Change the path in PoEdit to the path where you have your sorce files to WPMU

6. Run “Update from source” in the PoEdit. That will create you a POT file for WPMU, but will also keep a lot of phrases translated, so you save work.

BuddyPress

Same software can be used to extract and create POT file.

I had that but it was because I loaded buddypress as a subfolder

“Move contents of the extracted folder into “wp-content/mu-plugins”. All files should be in the root of “mu-plugins” not in a sub folder. For example, “mu-plugins/bp-core.php” NOT “mu-plugins/buddypress/bp-core.php””

Once I did that it was fine

Javi95,

If I understand your trouble correctly, the solution to this is really simple, I know because I had this trouble at first too. If you have uploaded the entire buddypress folder to the mu-plugins folder, take everything out of it and put it directly into the mu-plugins folder. You want the actual plugin folders to be in the mu-plugins folder, not in another folder in that folder. Sorry if that sounds confusing, hope it helps.

I think I’ve found the solution:

open the admin-bar.css in the bp-core/css folder

Lines 68-72

#wp-admin-bar ul li { /* all list items */

padding: 0 !important;

float: left !important;

background: url( ../images/admin-menu-arrow.gif ) 88% 53% no-repeat;

position: relative;

You just need to delete “position: relative;”.

That has solved the problem with FF3 – drop down menu disappearing.

But still having problem with IE7 menu flickering, even after https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/530 fix

It’s okay to do anything you want with the theme files, just as you would do in WordPress.

You don’t need the loader.php stuff if you don’t want to, however, it does add some extra functionality, such as cross theme CSS and the ability to selectively load styles.

You should also read this:

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/using-the-buddypress-themes/

Just for reference, what size community do you need before you have to start using multiple db’s?

I think that if multi-db was under gpl, i may to be interested to develop on it

Credit for the above code too burtadsit by the way

Been waiting to get the site just right, it is close, but not perfect: http://phoenix.fanster.com

Hi bergsten

thanks for the plugin, essential for any network

I installed the 2.0b2 version on my BP, put the php code you gave above (add_action(‘bp_custom_profile_boxes’, ‘bp_google_maps_profile’, 6) in the index.php from the directory /wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/profile, exactly here :

‘<?php if ( function_exists(‘bp_send_message_button’) ) : ?>

<?php bp_send_message_button() ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<?php add_action(‘bp_custom_profile_boxes’, ‘bp_google_maps_profile’, 6); ?>

<?php bp_custom_profile_sidebar_boxes() ?>

</div>

<div class=”main-column”>’

It’s working but a little buggy : the map shows two time as you can see here :

http://vivre-en-autarcie.com/members/admin/profile/public

something else is bugging.

the button update your position leads to a page that doesn’t exist with slug: update-position

the integration function works fine : I can edit a map where all markers my users are shown ; that’s great

thanks for any help

Hey gang, thanks to the help of you here, I have managed to work through some things and am now proud to show a site that I’m developing:

http://grungepress.com/

Keep in mind that it’s not done, and I haven’t had a chance to customize the forum template, as I’ll plan to match that with the main site.

The “BuddyBar” is by default not shown to visitors that are not logged in. You can change this in the BuddyPress settings, at http://example.org/wp-admin/wpmu-admin.php?page=bp_core_admin_settings
