BuddyPress.org

Your last answer I have seen right now. – I can’t answer in detail before tomorrow; I have to logout and to leave.

Only short:

“What is the /usage/ folder for?”

Maybe for for statistics.

“Most hoster have a root folder like htdocs or wwww.
You install WP at the root. Eg. server root/wp-content, server root/wp-admin, etc”

The highest level is not named. The wp-config.php and the .htaccess are on the highest level. The different WordPress-Folders constitute – together with the usage-folder – the second level.

Before I did:

— Again I started everything up form the beginning. Now it is impossible to delete the file
.nfs00000000038a694400007603
from the wp-admin/includes folder.

— I delete and re-create the wordpress-database etc.

— This time I removed NOT the www. from the general setting.

— I inserted the indicated further lines to the wp-config.php and uploaded the .htaccess.

— I can log in; and I have two dashboards now. I activate ‘Es können neue Seiten und Benutzer registriert werden.’ (New pages and users can be registered.)

— I log out; check the registration page. It’s everything okay: The ‘weiter’ (next)-Button is there.

— I log in. I installed and activated BuddyPress.

— I de-activated ‘Extended Profiles’. I de-activated ‘Show the Toolbar for logged out users’.

— I log out and check the register page. The submit-Button is missing again.

However, on Friday I received the message from my provider: ‘Ich habe dir DNS Wildcard gesetzt und www entfernt.’ (I have set the Wildcard and www removed.’) –

But of course this referred on the WordPress/Buddy-installation from Friday not from today.

“A last try please. Remove www from the site url in the site settings.”

Once the MultiSite Version is activated, there are – neither on the Network-level nor on the 1a-Spielwiese-level – the lines “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” within the Generel Settings anymore.

However, my provider removed the www prefix already on Friday for me; cfr.:

“I opened a ticket for this.
Please follow it, as you will probably be invited to give some more details to solve it.”

Have I to do anything right now? Or have I to read it only for the moment?

However, I have decided to re-start really from the beginning; I removed all files from my ftp-server.

And seemling there were already in former times similar problems – without solution:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/complete-sign-up-button-not-working-on-register-page/

and

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/registration-button-invisible/

Yesterday I found other descriptions of similar problems – as well without solution.

“remove all xprofile fields to get only the default name field.”

When I posted the comment:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/no-button-for-finishing-registration/#post-187032

non xprofile field was created.

“Also download a fresh copy of wordpress and upload the twenty twelve theme folder to your site. Maybe your’s is corrupted somewhere.”

That’s really unlikely, because both copies worked without problems, before I installed the BuddyPress-Plugin. And I tried never to make any major change of twenty twelve theme or WordPress itself.

I installed WordPress. Then I activated the MultiSite-Functionality.

Within that process the htaccess was mentioned. Because it didn’t exist, I created such file – with the rules, which are mentioned for activating the MultiSite Version.

Finally I uploaded the htaccess and the modfied wp-config.php; and I contacted my provider regarding the Wildcard (and regarding deleting the www. prefix).

All this I did on Thursday, and my provider answered on Friday.

“Don’t forget that you’re on a MS. This means that you have 2 (zwei) dashboards.”

Yes, I have two.

“And that BuddyPress should be installed on the network.”

I did so.

“IMHO the easiest solution is – if the wildcard exist now – to remove the wp-config file from your site via FTP and to restart the installation process.”

Okay, I will try this.

“Ich glaube echt dass bevor du alles umbaust, das du heftig über BP lesen (und lernen) solltest!”

Gibt es ein aktuelles umfassendes deutsches Handbuch für BuddyPress? – Ich hatte gestern beim Suchen keines gefunden.

“Hast Du überhaupt BuddyPress instaliert ? :d”

I found the file at the mentioned place. I don’t know, why I didn’t find it before.

I’m not using a purchased theme. It’s a custom WP theme I created. There is also no BuddyPress theme, so it’s using bp-default. I only use BuddyPress to set up some core features I was looking to introduce. Here is the code from my custom comment editor. Please note that all data from $_POST checks out and is passing properly to the function (the variables $comment_ID and $comment_content are populated via the $_POST object. The wp_update_comment() function returns 1, which means it was successful.

$commentarr = array();
 $commentarr['comment_ID'] = $comment_ID;
 $commentarr['comment_content'] = $commentContent;
 $update_success = wp_update_comment($commentarr);

 if ($update_success == 1) {
     $comment = get_comment($comment_ID);

     $article_link = get_permalink($comment->comment_post_ID);

     wp_redirect( $article_link );
  }

  else {
     $commentError = 'Something went wrong while updating your comment.';
     $hasError = true;
  }

Then digging into the core, here’s where wp_update_comment() function is called….

function wp_update_comment($commentarr) {
...
	do_action('edit_comment', $comment_ID);
...
}

I tested this entire function and everything works fine except for do_action(‘edit_comment’, $comment_ID), which of course is only a hook for other plugins, etc to attach to. If I commented out the do_action, my comments are updated properly.

So then I started turning off all plugins and trying again. Turns out it was BuddyPress causing the issue. After sorting through the BP code, I found that in the file bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php, the function that is added to the ‘edit_comment’ hook is called bp_blogs_record_comment(), which is found around line 542. This function has some BP specific functions being called within it, which I’m not familiar with. At the end of the day, I’ve found that if I comment out the action hook in the last line, the comment editing works 100%. Here’s the code from bp_blogs_record_comment()

function bp_blogs_record_comment( $comment_id, $is_approved = true ) {
...
}
add_action( 'comment_post', 'bp_blogs_record_comment', 10, 2 );
//add_action( 'edit_comment', 'bp_blogs_record_comment', 10    );

So for I’ve found a short code for the activity feed and this is giving me some ideas. I’ve found lots of widgets that let me customise the members profile page so overall I think I’m getting there.

One of the issues with running Buddypress as a social network is the volume of plugins you need to use in order to get the right level of features and customisations, I’m running more than 80 in total. Inevitably this leads compatibility issues.

Key features that are lacking – user profile page self-customisation options, Friends and memberships activity feeds, custom page views, image sharing options and site “fanfare options such as featured users, groups, posts and images on one page.

But a big thanks to all those developers out there that are providing generally high quality plugins that fill a lot of these gaps.

if i get it right, this code goes to

/home/database/public_html/content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-template.php

but do i need to create a function?
because if i just add the above line you posted, the code breaks and gives me a error message on screen when loaded…

sorry, i am not a coder…

thnaks

Hi thank you for your info
With the combination of both danbp and Henryrights sugestion rtMedia and buddypress-portfolio I’m getting somewhere but still not sure how I make hese portfolios come up in the members area of their profiles. Can past the shortcode but it’s a link to a page rather than embeded? Is there an easy way of sorting this?

Any clues much appresciated

all the best
