I have also now tried resetting the permalinks, by using the save the option, and still no change.

I checked the .htaccess file against the default and nothing has changed, so the site has the default .htaccess settings, does it need any custom entries for Buddypress?

The BuddyPress install was manual, upload the BuddyPress folder to /wp-content/plugins/

Then moved the bp-default themes to /wp-content/themes/ and activated the theme

Hi Ray,

I have tried this and it is still the same error, there were no custom redirects, it is so strange that it only happens with IE.

why are you coming in here at first to require support on something not related to this site??

http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/ is the place to go for support about wpmudev stuff…

[r-a-y]

Check your .htaccess file and remove any custom error redirects you may have.

If that doesn’t work, try restoring the default .htaccess file that came with WPMU.

You don’t need two threads for the same issue. Since you have https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/can´t-upload-avatar, I’m closing this one.

[takuya]

This is BuddyPress centric forum, so if you are having wpmu problem, you should visit he forum at mu.wordpress.org as there’re more users than we have here on buddypress.org

Also please read and follow the step by step guide on asking question on forum.

Andy-

I agree. This discussion should be held in a developers area, away from the regular forum. Unfortunately, Trac and IRC are not great places to hold in-depth conversations, nor do either provide a mechanism with which to do so effectively.

In the past, there was a discussion about creating a developers’ resource section on BP.org–a place that would not only contain a library of code snippets, but provide an arena for the type of discussion that we’re having in this thread.

That discussion happened 8 months ago and lost steam. Read the entire thread as it starts out as a discussion about snippets and evolves from there:

@Andy Just updated to 2207 this morning and all looks fine so far. One question though:

on /groups/groupname page I see that “View Thread” is there in place of “Comment” for forum postings, which speaks to the sync issue being discussed on other threads but the link on “View Thread” is the group slug not the forum thread slug. For example on my dev site on the page

http://mjpratt.com/groups/usma-1987/

I see a nice listing of activity. The activity item “posted on the forum topic Yet another another test in the group USMA 1987: 3 days, 23 hours ago” has a “Vew Thread” link which points to:

http://mjpratt.com/groups/usma-1987/

Is this on purpose or a bug?

I see it’s generated on line 24 of activity/activity-loop.php in bp-default with

<?php if ( !bp_is_activity_permalink() ) : ?>

" title="<?php _e( 'View Thread', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'View Thread', 'buddypress' ) ?>

<?php endif; ?>

I need to look further into the return of bp_activity_thread_permalink()

Hi everybody!

I’m quite new here.. I’ve read many topics in the last months, but I never reply.

Sorry for my bad English..

I’m asking if there is a simpler way to duplicate bbpress installations, so there can be a standard one and an external one.

I’ve merged successfully 3 different installation of BP with very low coding, using config.php file and default user tables.. until now I only shared the user database and profile base, but isn’t theoretically similar to share user in BP with bbpress, so someone can use external forums?

[Henry]

I’d be interested in this as well – it’d be good to have the ability to add ads or anything else on group, etc. pages.

[Henry]

But that still searches blogs, not posts (and nothing comes up for blogs anyway, no matter what the search). I’d be happy with a sitewide search including members, forums, and groups, and posts and list it as Site.

[John James Jacoby]

I’d ultimately love to see things go in that direction, and have been sifting through code the past few days thinking of how to get more red in the trac than green.

However, if this was the case, and activity had a component scope and a serialized array of return values, then you could replace private messaging with a threaded activity stream that only the users involved in that thread can view. You could send activity to multiple groups at a time, or only 1, or all of your groups, or the entire site, or any other registered components serialized set of values that mean whatever they mean.

You can almost replace the notifications class all together too, because if you take a count of the number of activities a user has directed at them and store it in usermeta, when the user returns if that number is higher, there’s your total notifications. Filter those new activities and now you can see how many of each. Actually, the code already exists within both WP and BP to do this.

In that regard, the activity stream does start to replace core communication components like forums, private messages, status updates, notifications, and the wire. At that same time, BuddyPress becomes less about separate components with their own API’s and classes and subsets of functions, but more about creating new methods for users to interact with each other in specific scopes of communication.

You could take things like twitter lists and make them work both ways, where you could send a message/comment/update/picture to only specific users instead of only viewing tweets from users. You could create an endless array of ways and names for collaborative tools to develop the platform from within the platform. It’s basically the blog post_types concept attached to people’s activity instead of re-categorizing blog posts.

The way to further develop groups would need a whole new topic, but I’ve got some ideas for that too.

@mrmaz, what you propose is the fundamentals of how I’ve approached my development before finding WP; start with small basic classes and work my up in functionality. There very easily could be a basic “bp_component” class where every new component just extends off of that, and sets the needed vars and assigns the needed functions accordingly.

[John James Jacoby]

@ron/@maz@andy, I think that’s the way to go, and not unlike what already happens in terms of how activity gets in there.

I do like the idea of private messages going in there too… Huh.

Is it possible Andy that you just made one component to eliminate all the others? haha! I mean really if components can register themselves, then there’s no need for an activitymeta table, since the very act of interacting with an activity stream is in itself an activity. Think of the traditional facebook like/dislike setup. When I “dislike” a comment, that creates an activity that I disliked it, which is attached to the activity item I disliked.

It’s rather genius in a way. Huh again…

[John James Jacoby]

@trevorscottcarpenter, there’s three ways I can immediately think to do this…

1. Create a custom group component that isn’t a “forum.” Extend out the Group API to include a new sub component specifically that does what you want it to.

2. Create a plugin for BP forums to allow for “private” forum topics. Have it hook into the activity filters and actions and stop those processes from happening so they don’t appear in the site wide activity. This doesn’t prevent non-group members from interacting with the topic however.

3. If you’re okay with having the entire group forum be “private” but need the groups to be “public” then check if a user is a group member before displaying the forum. If not, create a message and redirect them to group root.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

When you say you want a seperate forum install, what *exactly* do you mean/want as a result?

Do you want a different theme or user interface to access the forums? Do you want it to be like a traditional forum site rather than BuddyPress’ group interface?

This is strange, must have been hacked right? I wake up to find this sting at the top of our site with the template not working:

Add that it includes a link to this very forum?? What’s going on?

I’ve got our developers looking at this thread but any other insight you can shed is most appreciated.

[Xevo]

No, running two forums within buddypress and use one as a native bbpress install and the other one for the group forums, is impossible (unless you want to code a lot). If you want them inside the activity for example, you’ll have to write a code to let it send it’s activity to the buddypress activity db.

[Brajesh Singh]

not really. Since this is a buddypress forum, you may get shouts from anyone here for asking a wpmu theme.So please be aware of that

Now, Just the wpmu details.

Is it a fresh install.

which version

subdirectory/vs subdomain, any error log.

custom plugins/themes used.

That should suffice.

[Brajesh Singh]

well, In that case make sure , there is no plugin in your mu-plugins directory.

and also provide further details, which may be helpful in detecting problem.

Set your current new user to be the Site admin user.

You will need access to the database, look in wp_sitemeta for a line with a meta_key of site_admins. It will currently look like:

a:1:{i:0;s:5:”admin”;}

You need to change the admin to be your new users name, and the s:5 to be the length of your new user. E.G.

a:1:{i:0;s:9:”spacetest”;}

spacetest is nine characters long so I’ve changed s:5 – s:9

When you next login your new user will be the site admin user, and you can access the plugins menu.

Hey guys, sorry…

Installing bbPress the ‘old fashioned’ way, will it integrate within groups the same way the newfangled method?

My co-dev has installed an external bbpress install, but isn’t getting them to show up from within.

As stated above, we’re trying to get a ‘parallel forum’ to operate right alongside the integrated installation.

Thanks!
