BuddyPress.org

Hi @sharmavishal ! Thanks for asking! bbPress was network activated initially (the CBOX plugin activates everything network-wide; it is a “network only” plugin). But as per my last post, I deactivated it from CBOX and activated it just on the one subsite (the root blog for BuddyPress).

After some additional testing tonight, I’ve narrowed down the problem a bit more. At least I know which CBOX plugin is causing the problem:

1) I deactivated all the CBOX plugins, except for BuddyPress. Tested forums/groups and it all appears to be associated properly. The users can see the private forums in private groups. Yay!

2) I activated the “Group Email Subscriptions” plugin via CBOX, since that one is very important to our existing setup. Forums/groups associations are still working fine. Yay again!

3) I activated the “Docs” plugin via CBOX, and WHAMM! It clobbered my forum visibility! Now only admin can see forums on the front end “group” pages. I tried deactivating it from CBOX (which makes it network-wide) then activating it just on the root site for BuddyPress, and it still has the same breaking effect.

We really need “Docs” working, so now the focus is on figuring out why Docs is breaking the forums.

I suppose my next step will be deactivating other plugins to see if one of them is causing a conflict with “Docs”.

I hope someone has an idea to share! 🙂

do i need to update the codes in my theme manually, everytime you roll an update for the plugin?
because as it’s said in many places, when i create a folder named “Buddypress”
in my theme, it will override the original. correct?

for example. now it’s version 2.5.3 and i copied the general.php from plugin in my theme’s buddypress folder.
so when the version 2.6.0 is out, do i need to copy and replace general.php from plugin to theme again?(as to use the most recent codes)?

so do i need to? or not?

sorry for my question, if it sounds stupid.

@danbp
thanks for your complete explanation. but there is not such a file members/single/settings/general.php in my socialchef theme.
and yes, i do have a buddypress folder in my socialchef theme.
so i created the path. and copied the general.php from buddypress plugin files to the destination folder.
and did the changes as i want.
thanks a lot.

I may have managed to shake out some of these issues by de-network-activating bbPress, and re-activating it just on the root BuddyPress site. I rebooted my permalinks on that site, and that part seems to be improved.

However, I still have the core problem: Private forums are not associated with their private groups. Users see a message that says

When I try to repair those relationships (groups/forums) the message says, “Repairing BuddyPress group-forum relationships… Complete! 0 groups updated; 0 forums updated; 0 forum statuses synced.”

i just wanted to know the term ‘alternate row colour for…*****’to google help about it, hence the lack of detail.. i figured you wanted me to figure it out myself. http://www.templatemonster.com/demo/52997.html <— this is my theme. on the newest wordpress and buddypress.

I have two site one for static info about MUJ Alumni (http://mujalumni.in/muj2). It is also a wordpress site. The second one is a portal for our members (http://mujalumni.in/portal). It is also a wordpress site with buddypress support.

No, I am not thinking of having subdomain /subfolder. I am already managing that.

If you can provide your contact details, we can have a talk about this.

By 2 separate DBs I mean that:
1. Earlier we were not using BuddyPress and had MySQl as backend DB.
2. We shifted to BuddyPress later on but maintaining MySQL DB as well for SignUp by the users.

Now the problem is when the user adds himself the records are saved in our MySQL DB but when the user updates his records the updated data goes and is saved in the BuddyPress DB.

How to replicate & sync the updated records in the BuddyPress DB to our MySQl DB (some 35 fields are getting updated and needs to be replicated in the MySQL DB)

A help is really solicited.

best regards

Ok. So while the navigation is effectively solved by tell it to look for the wrong kinds of posts. In lieu of deleting the code entirely.

There’s another strange issue that’s cropped up suddenly. The admin bar is vanishing. Is there a line to force it to show? It works in all the other places on the site, except the buddypress profile pages.

Ok. Problem partially solved. My relative newness to php scripting means it’s harder to parse. But I found that duplicating page.php and renaming the duplicate to buddypress.php means I can now control the default buddypress loadup.

The problem seems to be that the secondary nav code is searching for menu children by scanning the pages and checking if they’re children of… this page’s menu system? Since the Buddpress profile isn’t affiliated with any pages, it’s taking all the unaffiliated pages… I think.

<!-- Secondary Nav -->
<!-- Show Secondary Menu if the page is a child or has children -->
<?php global $post; $children = get_pages( array( 'child_of' => $post->ID ) );

	if ( is_page() && $post->post_parent  || count( $children ) > 0 ) : ?>

		<div class="row subnav">
			<div class="container">
				<div class="columns large-12">
					<ul>
					    <?php wp_list_pages( array('title_li'=>'','depth'=>1,'child_of'=>get_post_top_ancestor_id()) ); ?>
					</ul>
				</div>
			</div>
		</div>

	<?php else : ?>
	
	<!--This is a parent page without children-->

	<?php endif; ?>

So now it’s just telling it not to do that I guess.

After some googling, I found the answer from here! The action ‘bp_core_setup_globals’ is the answer and it works well!

Is there a way to set the default page template for profiles in Buddpress? I’ve isolated the problem to the fact that it’s generating from the default profile in our wordpress theme. But I don’t know which file in the buddypress system I should add the php code to.
