Drat! Another plugin that may not work for group forums. I guess it’s time to plan on converting off group forum. For future reference, is there a list of which plugin topic should be posted on wordpress.org and which should remain in the forums here on buddypress.org?

Thanks @djpaul

thanks @mercime

just added a demo of it :

I think bbPress plugin only, unless — by coincidence — the name of the event is shared (doubtful).

“so i have not encountered any problems with wsl with bp and if there is its pretty much manageable via the settings. but it would be epic if wsl will be officially be compatible with bp.”

Hi there… I’ve racked my brain over a very similar issue. I’m wondering if you had any luck finding the answer?

This is what I’m seeing.

1). From what I can tell (I used shared hosting), the Centos Linux box that hosts my site has the date/time set correctly.

I asked them to issue the date command and send the result. What they provided was the result when logging into the box via SSH. i.e. “Sun Jan 27 10:45:24 CST 2013”. The server is hosted somewhere in the CST timezone, and the date/time was correct at the time this info was sent.

2). I am in the EST time zone. My WP general/settings/timezone is set to Montreal.

3). When I publish a WP Post (for example) everything is fine. The “published on” date/time is correct (in local / EST / Montreal time). In fact, everything to do with straight WP date/time related handling is fine. BuddyPress is a different story!

4). BuddyPress: When someone sends a private message, the time on the received email is one hour behind. I assume this can be explained by the CST server time and the EST timezone I’ve chosen in WP Settings/General/timezone. I can live with this – Or could change the timezone to the server timezone (chicago / CST).

This is where it gets interesting.

5). BuddyPress: When somebody creates or adds to a topic in BuddyPress Group Forum, the date/time is also correct. i.e. “username said n seconds ago” is 1 second after the update is made. OK.. But, the corresponding Activity entry shows 5 hours and 1 second ago. i.e. 5 hours in the past!

Looking at the Activity Table record via phpMyAdmin, the date is stored in GMT (i.e. + 5 hours as I am in EST).

Looking at the Topics Table record via phpyMyAdmin, the date is exactly the same – i.e. stored in GMT.

So, when the forum topic is displayed, it’s doing a proper conversion from GMT to local time (-5), but the Activity Stream page seems to be doing the conversion twice, and I end up with -10 hours from the stored time in GMT.

6). BuddyPress: Of course, when somebody just posts something to the activity stream, it always shows up as “username said 5 hours and n seconds ago” also. i.e. a -10 conversion from the stored db time which is in GMT.

7). BuddyPress: Finally, when looking at the Activity via WP Admin, the date/time on each entry is straight out of the DB – i.e. GMT time – No local time conversion at all!

So in Summary:

Server setting for date/time is ok
Straight WP handling of date/time is ok
date/time is stored at the DB in GMT in all cases
date/time is converted properly based on timezone for the BuddyPress Group forum topic itself (-5)
date/time seems to be converted twice (-10) for the corresponding BuddyPress Activity Stream record as seen by the end user
date/time is not converted at all when viewed via WP Admin. i.e. it is straight GMT

If anybody can make sense of what’s going on, I’d really appreciate it! I’ve looked through everything I can find and just cant figure this out.

Best regards,
Mike.

NOTE: Maybe it’s not good that I added to this post? It’s a similar problem, but not exactly the same. I can create a new post if that’s best.

I found the action for new group/forum topic; groups_new_forum_topic

Now I need to know I to get the new topic id and the action for edit topic post.

 

thanx in advance

Okay, the problem is back.

When I activated WP Super Cache it showed up again.

On Dashboard, “Incoming Links” and “Plugins” both show this error: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 491520 bytes) in /home/cgoegan/public_html/livingcm.org/wp-includes/SimplePie/Misc.php on line 843

I tested the cache in WP Super Cache and it said

The pages do not match! Timestamps differ or were not found!

Things you can do:

1. Load your homepage in a logged out browser, check the timestamp at the end of the html source. Load the page again and compare the timestamp. Caching is working if the timestamps match.

2. Enable logging on the Debug page here. That should help you track down the problem.

3. You should check Page 1 and Page 2 above for errors. Your local server configuration may not allow your website to access itself.

So I tried that and they are different. One is:

http://livingcm.org/wp-login.php?redirect_to=/

and the other is:

http://livingcm.org/

The reason is because I have a private site and unregistered users are directed to a different page than the home page.

Any idea how to fix this without removing the privacy that I need for the site. Does this occur with everyone who has a different registration page and home page?

@enquirer32 Did you try deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress to see if issue is resolved? What theme are you using?

[bruceleebee]

I’m not very good with css. If anyone could help with the adjust to the css code above so that is works for everything on this page: http://thecashlab.com/forum/ that would be awesome 🙂

[ngoegan]

I’m using Wanguard and that seems to be working better now after a few days. It worked perfectly, then I had a smattering of sploggers, then it’s been quiet again. Hopefully it stays that way. If it remains a problem, I will look into your recommendation Slava. Tks.

The memory issue wasn’t Private Buddypress after all. I deactivated all my plugins, deleted bbpress/buddypress and reinstalled them, then reinstalled one plugin after the other in the right sequence – buddypress first, then buddypress upgrade plugins after – the problem is gone.

I did talk to my host though and they said I need VPS, which I’m not convinced of yet. We’ll see.

In the meantime – is there no WYSIWYG editor for bbPress?

Even using [embed], it doesn’t work..
Check it out: http://www.arkade.com.br/comunidades/anime/forum/topic/melhores-animes-que-voces-ja-assistiram/?

I tried with vimeo and it works OK, youtube embedding works on the rest of the website too, everywhere but the forums..
Maybe the precedence of making it a clickable link is doing its thing before it can embed?

[ssmedia]

This didn\’t seem to work for me 🙁

@mercime – any chance I can hire you to make a quick fix?

About spam registrations – I have already answered here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/thousands-of-spam-subscribers/#post-151777

[danbpfr]

Take a view here, they’re some alternate solutions

[intimez]

It just seems many functions can be somewhat duplicated without buddypress so eventually it’ll be a decision if full social features from buddypress is actually needed or not. Thanks for each of your response.

[surrogatekey]

aaand, this is in the wrong forum I think, sorry about that

[ngoegan]

Thank you, yes I am on a cheap host so it’s possibly the cause, although I had it all set up before without the problem.

Are there any alternative options to private buddypress. The entire site becomes useless if it can not be private. I’m coming from a private ning education site and it just wouldn’t fit our community’s needs so I feel I have no choice but to use this outdated plugin.

[@mercime]

Groups can also have their own blogs (in subsites) which can be made private. So for each grade or each school organization, teacher/admin can create posts and students can have discussions via post comments. No forum, no problema.

[Mathieu Viet]

I think i’ve finished.

Just tagged 1.1-beta2 on plugin’s github repo. After the dashboard widget, the sidebar one in order to display statitics on front end. If on a forum’s page, then the Resolved and To resolve become links that allows user to filter the topics of the forum on the desired support status.

You can see a screenshot of it here : https://github.com/imath/buddy-bbPress-Support-Topic/blob/master/screenshot-7.png

😉

[Slava Abakumov]

You can also look at groups like events (in some cases). So all joined members are attendees. Although there are several events-based plugins for BuddyPress…

[modemlooper]

You have status updates as well. Similar to facebook pages. Grouping based on topic.

[modemlooper]

you need to bump the bp avatar thumbnail to the display size. 80×80

define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH’, 80 );
define ( ‘BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT’, 80 );

[Hope]

Thanks… I tried it actually but didn’t work 🙁
