Right guys, I reinstalled everything and in general settings in admin changed the content link from the default addresss to the absolute url, eg http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads before trying to post a thing.

I also changed perma links to ‘Day and name’

All seems to work.

Let me know how you get on.

I’ve just tried Boone’s plugin that Dwenaus linked above, and after editing the template files as noted in the readme (more or less — the line numbers have changed, of course), it seems to work.

So far I can’t get inlining to work with uploaded image attachments, though, which was what I was aiming for. Bummer.

It may be an artifact of dev on a local xammp install maybe, because I’ve got URLs for the attachment icons like “http://localhost.localdomain/devsiteD:/xampp/htdocs/devsite/wp-content/plugins/forum-attachments-for-buddypress/icons/img.gif”, I’m not sure. Link for the ‘uploaded’ image is fine, just no inline….

Will investigate, in my semi- but mostly incompetent way.

I’m having similar problems – when I post I get the red bar that says “”There was an error creating this topic”

Do you get an error or just the redirect?

[kingez]

having the same problem

[rossagrant]

Yep, I went through the 2 click set up. It says it has installed and should be okay but I can’t post ANY topics at all???

[rossagrant]

I too get the above message. I can’t post any topics!

@mamucium

DJPaul is currently updating his Achievements plugin which wil allow you to do this. You can see his comments here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-points

Hope this helps!

Their was a terrible bug in 1.4.3 Please update to 1.4.4. Please read this post at the WP forum and see if that helps you. Otherwise you can contact me through BP and we can figure it out. In future version we make sure to avoid creating havoc.

I still do not see a tweet after saving a forum topic.

What happens with you try to post? I get “There was an error creating this topic”

[modemlooper]

@aronel Thats easy to do just create new sidebars for each and then create functions for each of those sidebars.

sidebar.php

sidebar-groups.php

in your groups theme folder switch out the code that calls sidebar.php and add sidebar-groups.php

You can also do this and create new zones on pages / slugs. Say at top of groups directory you want to have featured groups avatars. Easily done with widget zones.

in desperate need of some more widgets.

Ok, I was wrong above. @kriskl is talking about the Forums index page, while my other post — https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/changing-group-tab-display-defaults — is about changing the default tab view within the Groups pages.

But this is an interesting problem also. I looked at your pointers above, @r-a-y , but I couldn’t figure it out. The Standard Loop page you linked to shows the code for

bp_has_groups()

but then below that it has the “accepted parameters” for

bp_has_site_groups()

a function which I couldn’t find anywhere in BP. Likewise the “most-forum-topics” & “most-forum-posts” arguments for the “type” parameter of that function.

Here’s what I think it would be cool do do, but I’m not sure how to do it:

Currently, logged-in users see two navigation tabs for displaying forum Topics on the “Group Forums Directory” page accessed by clicking “Forums” in the general navigation (default display tab in bold):

[All Topics (25] [My Topics (12)]

How to implement the addition of a new default tab that lists all of the Group Forums, with the same filtering options? then the Forums page sub-nav tabs would look like this:

[All Forums (11)] [All Topics (25] [My Topics (12)]

Creede – Could you tell me how did you reinstalled the forum ?

I am using standard buddypress theme and all other plugins are inactive, I don’t have any problem in making them active after upgrade.

If none of this works, I would like activate from backend, can someone tel me where to enable BP from backend ?

[creede]

I had this same problem. I ended up doing a couple things. I made sure all my other plugins were disabled, I reinstalled the forum, and I made sure I was using a standard buddypress theme. One of those things seemed to fix the problem and my buddypress plugin went from fatal error to saying it was activated.

@snark

In response to your points up top:

1)

+1 Favorites sometimes = bookmarks in social networking sites. We need to be able to offer this across all types of communication features.

2)

Theme developers need to be able to pull this info in with a loop. Maybe we can already?

3)What is the current state of Favorties plugin development, and is there something in the works that can accomplish the above?

There is the BuddyPress-Like plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-like/

The problem with BP Like is that it now competes with Favorites built-in to BP 1.2. I need to be able to turn off Favorites so that BP Like isn’t confusing/repetitive.

But really, this is something should be rolled into core.

@Peterverkooijen

Forums, yes, were part of an older web community – it was the sole way they communicated. With the advent of social networking came the creation of new ways to communicate. Forums were given less focus but they still have there place. Even today in Facebook you can clearly identify forum-esque features.

I don’t think BP has ever focused on forums. It’s always been on the activity stream/wire. Of course, forum topics are now tied to the activity stream – as they should be – but does not in any way give BP a “schizophrenic” identity.

[Marcus (aka @msykes)]

Given this thread has been resolved, yet these issues persist even when doing the above, I’ve added my solution in zageek’s other thread :

The question is already answered, get firefox, install firebug add-on and see where it is.

If we have to answer this question everytime someone can’t find a selector, we’d have no space left for the more important topics.

[enrige]

Ok, but I need to know where (in which file) can I change the colors of the forum

Thanks

[Bowe]

@Aronel

I’ve done this in a Child theme that will be released very soon.. I’ll try to share it here asap.

[arnonel]

@Modemlooper

good stuff!

any chance you could widgetize the main areas of BP as stated above?

[danbpfr]

As webmaster, you have to use some tools to have anwers for such basic questions.

You can use web developer, for example. Or firebug…

Looks great! Did it take a lot of work getting Simplepress forums integrated? I’m running up against the limitations of bbpress out-of-the-box and it’s giving me some minor headaches.
