Topic: list of mini-issues
I have got BP up and running to an extent but I have a bunch of little bugs that need cleaning up:
1. It does not seem the home page theme is working correctly, it looks just like a plain blog. I have only the Buddypress-home theme enabled, in Admin-> themes.
2. All blogs from different users have (Admin) next to them.
3. When you are actually in the member settings(profile, wire etc), directory buttons(news, members, blogs) to the upper right side of the screen give me a variation of
“To enable the blog directory you must drop the “plugin-template.php” file into your theme directory.” errors.
I tried copying them there but it did not work and I found a couple version of the needed files so I did not know which one to put in the themes dir.
Thanks,
I get the following warning when I access a group:
/PATH/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-home/style.css) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /PATH/wp-includes/theme.php on line 74I’ve been grep’ing but I can’t find the invalid reference. The group displays fine, except the annoying warnings at the top of the page.
The themes are installed at the correct locations (wp-content/themes/buddypress-home and wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member)
I have been out of the BP loop for a short while working my hardest trying and succeeding in breaking my home network… but today I have grabbed the latest trunk and discovered that forums will never work on our host provider.
Before anyone thinks that I am getting on some kind of rant… I would like to state that this situation has affected us not only with WordPress MU but with regular WordPress too…
Basically, some webhosting providers that offer shared hosting solutions do not and will find it extremely difficult to enable internal DNS resolutions for your domain…
Example:
mydomain.com = 182.43.21.4.25
But internally, for mydomain.com to look for mydomain.com …DNS will reach the same conclusion for the IP… where in fact, the internal address would more likely be 192.168.1.232.
Even though this sounds confusing, it means that certain features of your WordPress, WordPress MU and BuddyPress will not be available.
To start, if you are running a WPMU site, pingbacks and trackbacks will not work for blogs hosted on the same site… ie ‘mysite.wpmudomain.com’ pings ‘yoursite.wpmudomain.com’, then pingbacks and trackbacks will result in a timeout…
Secondly, wp-cron will not work because the same technique is used to call wp-cron.php.
So basically, I have plopped this forum post on here to explain the limitations that can be encountered purely due to where you host your WordPress/WordPress MU/BuddyPress… and now for the BuddyPress explanation…
BuddyPress Group Forums works by using xmlrpc for communication and thus will never work if your host provider has no internal DNS lookup for your domain.
Without going into even more depth, there are 3 solutions to this situation:
- Change to a virtual server or someone dedicated to provide what you need
- Do not worry about Forums and pretend they are not there
- Plan to write your own BuddyPress implementation
(we are planning the last approach as we are hosted on a very very large datacentre that provides high availability, high bandwidth and low server sharing)
Anyways, I hope I have provided some into an insight on why some users cannot get their forum working. …For info on getting your pingbacks and wp-cron working… visit http://dev.ind-web.com/2008/11/24/trackbacks/ (yups… our blog is a mess… pity ya cant see the local versions yet… should be launched in the new year of 2009 and we will have the plugins available soon too)
Topic: themes error line 472
I am getting this error message:
Warning: require_once(/var/www/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/index.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/wp-includes/theme.php on line 472
Currently I have member-themes in the wp-content/themes dir w/ buddypress-home and the default wp themes. I moved the folder around and got it work but it caused other problems so I reinstalled and I am back to this issue.
edit: It also seems that the home page theme is not worked right, still looks like wp until you login to get the task bar.
any thoughts?
thanks
Hey! How are you all doing? First of all wanna say that Buddypress is wonderful! Thank you very much andy!
I have a little question, i want all functionalities of Buddypress but with only 1 blog for all the community! The idea is that all users in the community could post new entries in that community blog, post comments, etc (like administrators).
Anybody have an idea how i can do this?
Thank you in advance!!!!
