Topic: RC1 + Forums – IE bug?
Is anyone else seeing a bug in IE whilst using the forums in groups.
The bug is: the admin bar is appearing in each row of the list of forum posts in a group and the text for each post row seems to get smaller.

I should add – this is IE7
Can the individual components of BuddyPress (ie. Friends plugin, groups plugin, etc) be used on a standard MU installation without BuddyPress? I’d like to utilize the friends and groups plugins, but I don’t want to change my site to BuddyPress.
Thanks!
I have added links to the navigation using a separate php file in mu-plugins using this code
<?php
function add_contact_to_main_menu() {
$class = (bp_is_page(‘contact’)) ? ‘ class=”selected” ‘ : ”;
echo ‘<li ‘ . $class. ‘>‘ . __( ‘Contact’, ‘buddypress’ ) .’‘;
}
add_action(‘bp_nav_items’,’add_contact_to_main_menu’);
?>
this works beautifully but the only problem is that “Home” is highlighted instead of “Contact” as the selected state. Any ideas?
Well, sorry for the above post. I uploaded all the theme files and re-modified the necessary files and the problem was fixed. Thank you for bbPress!
This is more a how-to than a request for help, at this point. Just in case others are interested in how to do this.
BuddyPress really seems to be designed to run in the root of a WPMU install, but for my purposes, that’s not what I wanted to do. I already had a functioning and active WPMU install at http://macaulay.cuny.edu/eportfolios . I wanted to have BP functioning for that WPMU install, but in a directory below that, reserving that root main blog for my “gateway.” I wanted to have http://macaulay.cuny.edu/eportfolios/social for the BP install.
It installed fine, and most things worked right from the beginning, but there were some difficulties.
First–the links across the top of the main page (the logo, the tabs for home, blog, members, groups, and blogs) did not work properly on the member pages (they worked on the home page). They directed to macaulay.cuny.edu/eportfolios/whatever, instead of macaulay.cuny.edu/eportfolios/social/whatever.
So to fix that, I went into wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/header.php
Line 37, 40, 41, 42, 44, and 49, I changed the URL to be a hardcoded reference to the appropriate pages.
Then I found that the search bar (in the top bar) did not work–it was also trying to search /eportfolios instead of /eportfolios/social.
For that one I had to go to wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core.php and add /social to the urls in lines 1266, 1269, 1272.
That fixed the search bar nicely on the member pages, but not on the home page–and I couldn’t figure that out, so I just commented out the lines calling for that search bar in wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/header.php . If it didn’t work right, I didn’t want it!
I also wanted the hotlinks in people’s profiles to work–and they didn’t–so for that I had to change wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-filers.php (line 51) to use the actual url /eportfolios/social/members/?s= instead of the site_url and MEMBERS_SLUG .
I guess ultimately there should be a plugin or a setting in the admin to help with all this? Then upgrades wouldn’t require re-doing all these little changes. But overall, I think it works, and it really is possible to have BP RC1 installed in a sub (or sub-sub) directory.
Hello Andy and all at BuddyPress. I’ve put up a demo version of RC1 and it’s working great w/ one exception. When I use the buddypress-home theme as my main theme, the comment fields disappeared from my site. You cannot comment on any post.
The theme I was using beforehand, called “Modern Notepad” worked great and if I swap it out w/ the buddypress-home theme, the comment fields come right back. I ran through each file in both templates and found the culprit to be functions.php inside the budypress-home theme. If I take the functions.php document from my old theme and place it in the buddypress-home theme folder, the comments come right back.
Now I know that’s not the best course of action so I’m wondering if anyone else has had this problem and can tell me what I should modify in functions.php to correct the issue?
I have “Allow Comments” and “Allow Pings” checked in my admin for the articles and I have deactivated all of my plugins as well with no luck.
Thanks very much for your time and effort on this great project!
