BuddyPress.org

I had one more quick question. Is there a huge downside to using the template pack? I keep seeing people say to not use it because it is already basically built into BuddyPress but what other reasons are there? Has the plugin been totally removed from the WordPress repository?

I am using the Sahifa theme from themeforest. http://themeforest.net/item/sahifa-responsive-wordpress-newsmagazineblog/2819356

I do see the css and js in the source.

<link rel='stylesheet' id='bp-parent-css-css'  href='http://devlodge.dev/wp-content/themes/sahifa/buddypress/css/buddypress.css?ver=1.8' type='text/css' media='screen' />
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://devlodge.dev/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/js/buddypress.js?ver=1.8'></script>

Yes, Twenty Twelve works like it is suppose to. I am at a loss why this isn’t working. The theme developer says it isn’t made for BuddyPress so it is hard to get support from them. Unless I know what specific needs to be changed I might be able to go back to them and ask them to check it out.

I think the problem I’m having is related to Ajax. It looks (to my newbie eyes) like the buddypress ajax request is not working for some reason.

In Firebug I see this on the site that has the problem:

ajaxurl
	"https://conflictcomms.org/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php"
	
bp_ajax_request
	null

But on my other site where it appears to work correctly I see this:

ajaxurl
	"http://olihaslam.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php"
	
bp_ajax_request
	Object { readyState=4, responseText="\n\n\n <div id="pag-top" c... \n </div>\n\n </div>\n\n\n", status=200, more...}

I don’t know where to start with Ajax issues. Suggestions on where I should start learning more about this would be very kind.

Newbie questions:
Is Ajax be affected by my site being on https and not yet having ssl certificate set up?
Could Ajax be interrupted by s2member?

I’d be grateful of any pointers or advice.

Thanks

I added [bbp-forum-index] to a /test/ page. That worked.

Given the instructions on (https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/), I did the following:

#3 -If you kept the default “forums” slug in Settings > Forums, you can create a new Page via Pages > Add New. Add Title “Forums” and insert the forums index shortcode and/or other bbPress shortcode you’ll find in the bbPress Codex then publish the new page.

But somethings broken.

Thanks,

Mike

I already have the following in my custom BP functions file:

if(bp_is_active('friends'))
		add_action('bp_member_header_actions', 'bp_add_friend_button');

	if(bp_is_active('activity') && bp_activity_do_mentions())
		add_action('bp_member_header_actions', 'bp_send_public_message_button');

	if(bp_is_active('messages'))
		add_action('bp_member_header_actions', 'bp_send_private_message_button');

	// Group Buttons
	
	if(bp_is_active('groups')) {
		add_action('bp_group_header_actions', 'bp_group_join_button');
		add_action('bp_group_header_actions', 'bp_group_new_topic_button');
		add_action('bp_directory_groups_actions', 'bp_group_join_button');
	}

As I say these buttons displayed in the theme in v1.7.3, they only disappear in v1.8. I think you’re right of course, it looks like a theme issue, I just cannot figure out what changed in v1.8 to stop these buttons working in my theme.

I solved the registration issue. It was just a widget and I didn’t know that 😛

anyways just one simple issue is left which is when I try to comment on any activity in a member’s profile the page directly refreshes and I can’t comment

and I have already asked that question here but there is no answer so if you can help me here or there https://buddypress.org/support/topic/the-page-refreshes-when-i-comment-help/

BTW, it’s not a bump but just saying that I have solved the registration issue and sharing my other problem here at the same time

Thanks Aces. Sorry I didn’t mention, but I actually found this previously and it didn’t seem to work.

Any reason why that would be?

I have a will…. where’s the way? 🙂

Bump please, Thank you!

The more I read, the more I understand how much I do not know about Multisites. I read something about WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin. Is that something that I need to install to enable my sub-domain website? So far, I have only created a Wildcard in my host.

Please note: I do not want my users to create their own websites (and sub-domains). I only want to have one main site http://example.com (I decided to get rid of www) and one Community site for BuddyPress which is: http://community.example.com

Thanks

Some more information. I am using BuddyPress 1.8 and WordPress 3.5.2.

I found that if I have the template pack enabled and working that if I go into the settings and check Disable BP Template Pack CSS that it breaks the theme like if I remove the template pack. So I must be missing some css in order to make my theme work with BuddyPress.

I am currently trying to work through this but if anyone has some ideas I would certainly love to hear them.

@bphelp

Thanks for the response! I did indeed try to disable all plugins, but no dice. I’m using a theme based off of the default buddypress theme as a child-theme.

Nobody else has had the same issue? Lets try a different tact. Has there been any changes made to private message, add friend and public message buttons in 1.8?

After searching a little more, I found the ‘page_arg’ argument in bp-members-template.php. The url in the file directed me to here.

Following the example there, I changed <?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’ ) . ‘per_page=2’ ) ) : ?>

to

<?php if ( bp_has_members( ‘page_arg=bpage&per_page=2’ . bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’ ) ) ) : ?>

That did change the URL of the pagination to “http://localhost/twopointohla/bloggers-directory/?bpage=2&#8221; but clicking the second page still results in “Sorry, no members were found.”

@mercime – thanks again for getting back to me.

I have applied the content of http://pastebin.com/5uzN2S8a to the theme’s root folder called ‘buddypress.php’ and one again the installation is still broken :(. I.E., the content is rendered in wide only and not with sidebar my theme had with BuddyPress Template Pack installed.
