BuddyPress.org

This is a supported and well documented wordpress installation configuration (https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory).

There is a very specific caveat in the buddypress installation documentation stating that it Does Not support this sort of wordpress installation.
See the fifth bullet down on https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/before-installing/

I thought that perhaps with the revised URI re-write, this WP installation configuration might finally be supported

I just tried deactivating, deleting, installing and activating BuddyPress, and now it seems to work with the latest version….i’m still a bit skeptical though, but why don’t you try it?

I suppose another way of looking at this would be to find the code in BuddyPress that injects hyperlinks into certain text, such as profile tags. Where would I find this?

Thanks.

i noticed the “buddypress sitewide activity widget” plugin achieves what I want to do but I cant figure out how despite crawling through the code for hours…

Hi again,

I still have this problem. I’m sure it’s BuddyPress that is the cause, as it still occurs with different themes and with all other plugins deactivated. When I deactivate BuddyPress, the problem stops.

Run your mouse over the links on this page, and you’ll see the issue: http://blogs.lincoln.ac.uk/test/

I was wondering whether it is a legacy of running BuddyPress since alpha/beta and whether there is an old setting in the database or something that I might look out for. Where are the BuddyPress settings stored in the database? None of the wp_bp tables look like they hold global settings.

In my wp-config.php file, I have the following:

define( ‘BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES’, true ); //removes the /members/ slug
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘custom-profile’ ); //defaults to profile page rather than activity stream of a user
define( ‘BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE’, true ); //for LDAP compatibility
define ( ‘BP_IGNORE_DEPRECATED’, true );
define(‘BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR’,true);

Thanks for any advice,
Joss

Hello @henrywright!

I´m not sure I understand what you mean, this is from the file buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php (inactive). Iam using the theme twenty twelve, can it have something to do that wordpress is installed local?

Hello @henrywright!

I´m not sure I understand what you mean, this is from the file buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php (inactive). Iam using the theme twenty twelve, can it have something to do that wordpress is installed local?

i think i am! ive created a function in functions.php as follows:

/**
  * get user last update timestamp
  */
function get_user_last_update_timestamp() {
	$update = get_usermeta( bp_get_member_user_id(), 'bp_latest_update' );
	$activity = bp_activity_get_specific( array( 'activity_ids' => $update['id'] ) );
	$activity = $activity[0];
	$time = $activity->recorded_time;
	echo $time;
}

and im calling it from my page template (which contains a stripped down version of the code from the members-loop.php file) as follows:

<?php
/*
Template Name: In Out Page
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="sleeve_main">
	<div id="main">
		<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) ) ) : ?>
    <?php do_action( 'bp_before_directory_members_list' ); ?>
  <ul id="members-list" class="item-list" role="main">
  <?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?>
     <li>
      <div class="item-avatar">
         <?php bp_member_avatar(); ?>
         <?php bp_member_name(); ?>
      </div>
       <div class="item">
        <div class="item-title">
            <?php if ( bp_get_member_latest_update() ) : ?>
               <span class="update"><?php bp_member_latest_update(array( 'view_link' => false )); ?></span>
            <?php endif; ?>
        </div>
        <div class="item-meta"><span class="activity"><?php get_user_last_update_timestamp(); ?></span></div>
        <?php do_action( 'bp_directory_members_item' ); ?>
        </div>
        <div class="action">
            <?php do_action( 'bp_directory_members_actions' ); ?>
       </div>
       <div class="clear"></div>
   </li>
 <?php endwhile; ?>
 </ul>
 <?php do_action( 'bp_after_directory_members_list' ); ?>
 <?php bp_member_hidden_fields(); ?>
<?php else: ?>
   <div id="message" class="info">
      <p><?php _e( "Sorry, no members were found.", 'buddypress' ); ?></p>
   </div>
<?php endif; ?>
		</div> <!-- main -->
</div> <!-- sleeve -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thanks again @henrywright!
unfortunately being only intermediate with php and new to buddypress Im still having trouble getting this to work. Ive tried creating a new function with the code you provided and calling it from my template page, also tried including the code directly into the template but no luck so far. Any other tips you could give me?
Cheers

I Finally got it. I deactivated all my plugins except BuddyPress and I switched to a safe theme (TwentyTwelve)…. I was then able to update to BuddyPress 1.9.2 with no problem.. Except that some plugins lost their settings and had to be re-configured….. So why hasn’t anyone come up with a simple WP plugin that automatically deactivates all plugins for updates and then reactivates them again?.. hmmm…. sometimes the obvious solution is overlooked.

So i resolved the error by rolling back to buddypress 1.9.1. 1.9.2 doesn’t work for me!

Hi,

Thanks for the quick answer!

Yes, both enviroments are multisite (sorry, forget to mention that).

The obvious solution is to try another plugin but I am very happy with the results of spam destroyer after a year of use.

I should mention that I’m running another (multisite) website with buddypress 1.5.5 & Spam destroyer 1.3.2 and everything is working fine.
