@dwenaus the plugin has a bug, causing video embedding to fail on forum posts but not the activity stream

[palmdoc]

Thanks for the confirmation that it should work out of the box. I was puzzled why recently it didn’t work for forum posts but activity streams only.
I did the usual disable all plugins and test one by one in case of a plugin conflict.
I can confirm that the Buddypress Rate Forum Posts plugin is the culprit

After disabling this, video embedding now works. Will post feedback to the author.

Hi,

I’m having the exact same problem. I installed Buddypress today. After installing the BP Template Pack, when you click on the links to check your pages, you still are not taken to the registration page. Your redirected to your site’s home page. This is the third such query I’ve read on your forums trying to work my way through similar forum topics and none of those threads have answered the problem as I’ve tried all the suggestions.

I checked my pages and there is actually a registration.php page created in my pages, but when I navigate to that page , it just bounces to the home page as the gentleman says above.

I have been into my Settings > Membership and checked if the “Allow Registration” is checked. It is and was checked to allow for registration before I installed Buddypress. Still nothing. As I havn’t gone through the processes of every running a wordpress based community before I’m only familiar with the Login area at the backend of WordPress. This is not an area I would want my site users to see and I’m aware that I can install whitelabel plugins to pimp that area myself but I expected that Buddypress would somehow have a front end login and registration area already wrapped up in the plugin.

Could someone please enlighten me about getting my registration link working. My site is here:

http://www.thebridesboudoir.com/

I’m WPSU not MU. I’ve followed all instructions as best I can and seem to be getting nowhere. I’ve adjusted all my template files to correspond with my current theme, it would be so nice to get the rest of Buddypress working. I’m sure it’s a great plugin and I’ve worked most of the day on forums and buddypress, but a little frustrated with the registration hiccup.

RE: Forum Installation from your links. You click and are taken to install bbPress, but then have to delete the automatically created forum.php created by Buddypress in order to install bbPress forums correctly. Later in the processes of trying to get bbPress templates tweaked to match my theme I’m told I can make Group Forums, but when I come over to the buddypress panel it states in your documentation to look for bb-config.php (or something similar) but there is no config file of any name (or nothing with the word config in it) when you look through all the bbPress package or folders after install. As a consequence I cannot now install Group Forums as I don’t know the path to the bbPress config file – it seems not to exist? I’ve used the latest version downloaded from wordpress.org for both plugins, Newly downoaded today.

Thanks for help in advance.

I am having a hard time replicating this and I just updated one of my test servers from WP 3.3.1 and BP 1.5.5 to WP 3.4.2 and BP 1.6.1 and it works perfectly if you go to youtube click the share button and copy and paste that code into the content section after you have created a new forum topic. Why do you need an oembed plugin anyway. Auto embed is already built in to WordPress? Go to dashboard/settings/media and under Embeds make sure the box beside Auto-embeds is checked.

[palmdoc]

Hi @shawn38 – it’s Group forums. I am using the latest BP 1.6.1
The video will embed in the activity stream but not in forum posts
I have tried the defunct oembed plugin but it doesn’t work now.

[9087877]

@palmdoc What kind of forum are you using? The group forums, or sitewide forum? If its the sitewide you need to go to dashboard/settings/forums and under the main settings you need to check the box beside Auto-embed Links!

[autoarcheologist]

Here’s what I think is a bug. If I go into one of the groups as admin, and deselect the option to create a forum, then save it, it creates a blank entry in the table wp_bp_groups with zero’s in each entry, including the time stamp. The only data is the record number, which in this case was 347.

[autoarcheologist]

All 7 tables are there.

@mercine, I don’t understand how disabling all the other plugins is going to suddenly create 170 forum entries in wp_bb_forums when there are none now.

At this point I’m not interested in figuring out why it happened, but how to fix it without having to re-enter all 200 groups.

[igid26]

I changed `$gender = bp_get_profile_field_data(‘field=Gender’);`
to
`$gender = xprofile_get_field_data(‘Gender’, bp_get_member_user_id());`
It helped only in Members Directory. Everywhere else it does not work

@modemlooper,

“Is this really the loop or just each group?”

Let’s put it this way … whenever I cycle through all groups and whenever I cycle through a single group, my plug-in takes effect. I know that because my latest attempt to get it to work was using your code and I got a Server 500 Error in both instances (in my terms “loops”).

Bottom-line, I am just trying to capture what I think should be available in the Group ID (at least I would think it should be there). I don’t want to write more code. I’ll just hard code it as we go. Not the most ideal solution,but then again….it is Buddypress.

[@mercime]

@ashraf something’s getting lost in translation. Are you asking how to add profile fields (https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#users-profile-fields) and/or asking for a demo site which allows you to add profile fields (none public that I know of) ?

[@mercime]

== But what I don’t understand is that it doesn’t look like the group forums were ever created, even though I had the box checked. ==

Check your database if the 7 bbp_ tables were created https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/#bbpress-forums-tables-in-database

In addition, basic troubleshooting would involve changing to bp-default theme and deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress.

[@mercime]

@nggablog https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/
If you already installed Group Forums in Settings > BuddyPress > Forums, then you should find your bb-config.php file at the root of your WP installation i.e., same level where you find your wp-config.php file.

[mgkoller]

Looks like other’s have ran into this issue,
http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/activity-time-display-is-off-by-5-hours
Is this because of
`$time_offset = $time + ( $root_blog_offset * 3600 );`

[autoarcheologist]

I updated the theme from Streamline v1 to v2.0. I’ve updated a few plugins as well. I’d have to go back through my notes for all the changes.

But what I don’t understand is that it doesn’t look like the group forums were ever created, even though I had the box checked. And unchecking and rechecking the forums box does nothing. Are they all corrupt?

I also noticed that while debugging this that a bunch of blank groups were created. I’ll try that again and get a screenshot.

I’m hoping for a workaround that involves rebuilding the database, not re-entering 200 groups manually.

thanks!

maddogmcewan adding shortcodes to form fields is better addressed at WP forums https://wordpress.org/support/

[modemlooper]

You already know how to get it, your code may not be correct or enough to use it to do what you want. I did not try it, if I have time I’ll look into it. Is this really the loop or just each group?

Another option you may want to try is to remove the item for every one then add it back for just admins. You may have to write a bit more logic to your code:

if (on the current group && current user = group admin)
add sub nav

[@mercime]

@hotmark Which forum are you referring to – Sitewide Forums or Group Forums? What theme are you using? Site URL?

== Is there an option somewhere that sets the main Forum layout? ==
Depends on the theme.

[frank tredici]

Anyone — is it possible to know the Group ID during the Loop?

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

What have you changed on your site since June?

[nggablog]

I found many site facing this same problem…

My site is also got it..

Please, show me the stepping guide to solve this.

[frank tredici]

@modemlooper,

I get `HTTP 500 Internal Server Error` on that statement.

I am running WP 3.4.2 and BP 1.5.6

[Donald McIntyre]

It is very strange that Buddypress.org hasn’t integrated links/video/photos to the Activity Stream and that we depend only on WPMUDEV for this one plugin to solve an extremely obvious and basic issue for ANY social networking solution (it is inconceivable not to have media uploading capacities in the Activity Stream).

Also it is incredible that only ONE plugin exists to solve this thing…thx to the lack of competition the developer of this plugin rests on a very incomplete solution with no apparent sense of urgency to make it better (please someone develop a competing plugin!).

In the meantime I adhere to the needs of this forum that it is imperative that this plugin must be compatible with iOS6 (all apple products).

IT IS URGENT!!!!!!!

NOTE: The fact that this plugin is offered for free does not give license to the developer to make it lousy…it undermines the whole open-source wordpress enterprise.

@mercime my site is live and running very smooth but did noticed a couple very small things… Lets say someone tries to add me as a friend, I can see the “Cancel Friendship Request” button but I can not see any “Accept Friendship Request” button. Is this a problem you have ran into before and if so, do you know of a solution. I have been searching the forums but have not found a problem or solution related to my situation in particular.

[modemlooper]

you only need

`if ( !bp_is_group_admin())
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( bp_get_current_group_slug(), ‘send-invites’ );`
