Hi Guys!
I’m also having 2 niggling issues with this plugin. 1) If I’m logged out of wordpress AND bbpress, and I log into bbpress, the buddybar doesn’t change from the logged out status. If I click the login link on the buddybar through the forums and log in, it redirects me back to the blog homepage, not the page I clicked from.
Here’s what I’m running…
WPMU 2.8.2
Buddypress 1.0.3
bbPress 1.0.1
Thanks!
Hi All, I’ve read this entire thread, and some people seem to have similar problems, but I never heard of the solution…
I’ve checked and double checked, and it’s so close, but I can’t quite get there:
At this point, I thought I had everything working, but if a user tries to post, the Red Error Bar shows up and nothing gets posted. As the admin user, all post are working perfectly. If I remove the line in the bb-cofig file ($bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;), all users can post and create topics, but the author of all posts is “admin”
Am I as close as I think? I’ve given up on this, but I thought I’d throw out this last post.
Thanks.
I really do appreciate all your hard work, Jeff Sayre!
I don’t only post to beg for solutions. A lot of my posts are reminders for myself what I’m doing, what I have already tried and what issues I still need to solve.
I imagine other regular web developers using Buddypress will run into many of the same issues I run into. Hopefully my threads and posts will be useful resources to them.
The solution to this users import time-out issue is now available within the Buddypress forum. One more thing you hopefully don’t have to answer again in the future.
My experience even put an approximate number on it. I think on the second attempt I’ll just split my list in half, import them as two batches of 300.
@Peterverkooijen
I have no problem with you posting in the BP forums. If I did, I would say so and/or ignore your posts. In fact, I often answer your questions or at least point you in the proper direction. I did the former above.
I also appreciate the fact that you are diligently working on learning PHP and the inner workings of WPMU and BP. It is a long road to slog.
In suggesting that a Google search would have answered your question–and more than likely much more quickly than waiting for someone to respond on this forum–I was simply making a point that since all of us moderators volunteer our time, and a lot of it at that, it helps everyone if a member first searches out a particular issue. That means if it is specific to BP, they search the BP forums first, and then Google second. If it is more of a general programming issue (or as you say above, a “basic issue”), then they search Google first then the WPMU or BP forums second. If they find nothing, then posting is recommended.
I assume that you do use Google. We all do. But, I was trying to give you a friendly reminder by first answering your question, second suggesting that issues outside of the scope of WPMU or BP can often be quickly answered via Googling, and third provide a link to the answer in such a way that reinforces that point to anyone who reads this thread.
I can’t tell you how many times a day I answer a question on these forums whose answer could have been found by searching the forums or google. I don’t mind helping out, but my time is limited and it gets old.
Just to be clear to everyone, none of the moderators on these forums are employees of Automattic. We do not get paid for the copious amounts of time we volunteer.
I replied you here -> https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/listmessenger-or-phplist-integration-plugin?replies=6#post-22429
it’s better using built-in functions
$uid = get_userdata($user_id);
$uid->user_email;
Jeff Sayre, I already google a lot of things. I don’t think it’s off-topic to point out that this essential Buddypress plugin – that should be a built-in BP feature… – runs into this time-out when you use it with over 490 users.
All my issues may be very boring, annoying and off-topic to you, but I’m just a regular web developer (html, css, a bit of js and php) running into lots of basic issues that aren’t solved. I had no intention learning PHP, but Buddypress has lots of loose ends.
I hope by posting here the programmers at Automattic become aware of issues and that other developers on this forum can benefit from solutions I or others come up with.
Trying to use Manoj Kumar’s Buddypress Users Import plugin. I get this error:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /serverpath/wp-includes/class-phpass.php on line 60
I don’t recognize anything in that line:
function get_random_bytes($count)
{
$output = '';
if (($fh = @fopen('/dev/urandom', 'rb'))) {
$output = fread($fh, $count);
fclose($fh);
}
Can I just temporarily delete it? Would that solve the problem? Other solutions?
I’m trying to import 600+ members, so I’m not surprised it times out.
EDIT: 490 members were actually imported quite nicely! 
EDIT2: Not as nicely as I first thought… Username and full name didn’t make it over, only email addresses. Should I have added labels to the top line?
EDIT3: There is no fast way to delete 490 users…?
EDIT4: Does this plugin also update firstname + username in wp_usermeta. If not, I have to add it.
Thanks a lot JEFF! Using your link and this post: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/avatar-upload-problems#post-5481 solved my problem!
Thanks again!
Rohan-
Read this post and the various links within it and see if that helps.
This works:
function synchro_mailinglist($user_id, $password, $meta) {
global $bp, $wpdb;
$email = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT user_email FROM $wpdb->users WHERE ID='$user_id'");
$fullname = $meta[field_1];
$space = strpos( $fullname, ' ' );
$company = $meta[field_2];
if ( false === $space ) {
$firstname = $fullname;
$lastname = '';
} else {
$firstname = substr( $fullname, 0, $space );
$lastname = trim( substr( $fullname, $space, strlen($fullname) ) );
}
$firstname = nameize($firstname);
$lastname = nameize($lastname);
...
$wpdb->query("INSERT mailingusers SET users_id='$user_id', group_id='1', signup_date= UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), firstname= '$firstname', lastname= '$lastname', email_address = '$email' ");
$wpdb->query("INSERT mailingcdata SET cdata_id=NULL, user_id='$user_id', cfield_id='1', value='$company'");
}
add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_mailinglist', 10, 3);
I used it as part of this function. This should work other mailinglist scripts as well, just change the table and field names.
I don’t understand why $user_email didn’t work. I had to pull the user_email from the database. Is there a cleaner way?
Take a look at the buddybar in bbpress plugin: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddybar-for-bbpress/page/5#post-20914
That post has the solution to the problem.
I have found a partial solution …
EDIT bp-forum-filters.php and comment all filters
function bp_forums_filter_encode( $content ) {
//$content = htmlentities( $content, ENT_COMPAT, “UTF-8” );
//$content = str_replace( ‘&’, ‘/amp/’, $content );
return $content;
}
function bp_forums_filter_decode( $content ) {
//$content = str_replace( ‘/amp/’, ‘&’, $content );
//$content = @html_entity_decode( $content, ENT_COMPAT, “UTF-8” );
//$content = str_replace( ‘[‘, ‘<‘, $content );
//$content = str_replace( ‘]’, ‘>’, $content );
//$content = stripslashes( wp_filter_kses( $content ) );
return $content;
}
I think it is a bug becouse …
If I write something with accents in bbpress works fine,
If I write something with accents in other sites in buddypress (blog, groups, etc …) works fine,
But if I write somethining in buddypress forums with accents I get this error but only in the content, not in the title topic …
see this example http://profesionales.net/groups/profesionales-de-la-informatica/forum/topic/5
I am on a shared hosting….Probably i must wait for Buddypress 1.1..The groups forum are much better.Testing it on localhost …seems fine..still scared to use it…
Thanks all
Anyone?
this IS a support forum isent’t it?
Or are my questions that “out of the box”
Sorry was hoping to find some answers here since no where else there is good support for this ( irc channel is also starved )

status updates are personal updates about w/e you want. you can only have 1 update in the status place and when you want to update, it deletes your previous status.
I’m still trying to wrap my head around status updates… couldn’t you just use your latest wire post with an expiry date of a week? By “expiry”, I mean the wire post won’t be shown underneath your name, but will be archived in the wire). Functionality-wise, they’re both the same… the only difference I see is segregating data and labels. But maybe I’m just daft and slow on the uptake!
Hi Jeff- sorry for the missed information. Apologies! I agree I don’t think it’s buddypress issue but I thought someone in the forum would be aware of similar problem whereby a form won’t work under IE6/7.
I have installed the latest version of MU (WordPress MU 2.8.4) and the latest version of Buddypress. I also admit I have many plugins. wp-greet works fine with all the variations of WP/WPMU/Buddypress… seen them in action but for whatever reason IE6/7 just wont do it on my end. Thanks.
Nicola, yesterday, I read a post in wp forums that made me laugh for minutes. I want to share it with you, this also summarizes my skills:
Not really a coder but I’m a star at cut and paste
First of all, we do not have sufficient information to offer the best resolution to your issue.
We have no idea what versions of WPMU and BuddyPress you’re running. Are you running WPMU or single-user WordPress? What other plugins do you have installed?
The plugin does not indicated that it works with WPMU and it is only updated to WP 2.7.1. Perhaps that is part of the problem.
I’m setting this to “not a support question” as this seems more like a WP issue and not a BuddyPress issue. Also, I’m moving it to the proper forum, “Third Party Components & Plugins”.
Hi Nicola, bbPress XML-RPC is enabled
if I write “más” in buddypress forum’s group the buddypress show “m�s” and the bbpress forum show “m/amp/aacute;s”

The best way is for you to duplicate your database and site, and perform an upgrade using the current trunk, and see what issues you run into. This is also needed for valuable testing / bug reporting as necessary.
XML-RPC BBPress has been removed, totally. Again, install a test installation of trunk – on the Forums Setup page of the admin menu, there’s an option to either set up a new installation or to use an existing database.
I tried this for the first time last weekend, and setting up a new forum installation was as easy as pressing one button – it’s amazing.
The upgrade button I haven’t tried yet, but it requires you to put in a path for your existing BBPress bb-config.php file. As long as you are using the latest version of BBPress, I can’t think of any issues – possibilities are the server not being able to read the files in a different folder, but if your server is working with the XML-RPC at the moment, then that’s not going to be an issue.
So, “how would that work?” AWESOMELY.
Don’t worry you can set up the existing bb forum with the BP 1.1.
Maybe you’ll have some problems with the theme.
How does it appear in the forum? (I mean in the forum not in the group side), to know if the bug is in xmlrpc requests or if it’s a bbpress bug
Yep. Xml libraries on Linux are broken if olds, this is an old parsing bug..
I’ts a libxml2 stuff, be sure to have everything updated, i had the same problem
This is not a BuddyPress topic and should be targeted at the WPMU forums instead. But I’ll give you a little help nonetheless.
You should be using an IDE (integrated development environment) that allows you to search all files for the piece of code you want to find–among many other very useful features. I’m on a Mac and I prefer Coda to TextMate–although I used to use the latter.
The CSS is actually near the top of the wp-signup.php file. Search for function wpmu_signup_stylesheet().
I’m also setting this to “not a support question” as it has to do with styling in a WPMU file and nothing to do with BuddyPress.
