Thanks r-a-y.

I can’t make much sense of most of that code. Does function bp_core_signup_show_user_form take the input from the form? Or does it only output the form? I guess the latter.

I think the code that actually processes the input is in bp_xprofile/bp-xprofile-classes.php, Class BP_XProfile_ProfileData etc. Or bp-xprofile-signup.php?

Back to the other thread to see if it gets me any further…

[peterverkooijen]

You’re right r-a-y. Tried it. It had no effect on Buddypress’ registration form.

Back to my previous attempt; I’m stuck at intercepting fullname input from the Buddypress registration form. Do you know how?

Based on code in another plugin I put together something based on ‘$input_data’:

function synchro_wp_usermeta($input_data) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$post_data = array();

foreach ($input_data as $varname => $varvalue) {

$post_data[$varname] = $varvalue;

}



$fullname = $post_data[fullname];

...

But I don’t know if that $input_data is a standard wp tag or something else. Also the structure of the xprofile tables is very different from the structure of the regular wp users tables, so I’m not sure if that ‘$input_data as $varname => $varvalue’ is applicable.

Where is the code that processes data input from the Buddypress registration form? I’d like to use that as example, but have no clue where it is.

Thanks to both of you guys.

It seemed likely to me that XMLRPC (in conjunction with the realities of our hosting setup) was the bottleneck, since everything else seemed to be snappy, even under the presumed load of the shared server. After I posted my original message, I went over to trac and saw that the forums component was completely recoded, so I’m hopeful.

I definitely want to get us off of the shared box soon, regardless of whether or not this issue goes away with 1.0.4.

Hi Gerikg,

The user should have its own bbpress forum with possible several categories like, feedback, general, etc so they can post in that categories and discuss things

[gerikg]

and https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/help-i-renamed-my-bbpress-file-directory-name

[gerikg]

You want the user create one forum topic or have their own forum?

[peterverkooijen]

I’m not creating a plugin from scratch or doing any complicated manipulations on the data. I’m only trying to pre-populate fields in the RSVP form in this Event Registration plugin.

Adding the ‘echo’ didn’t fix the problem. It probably is something stupid like that.

Which code actually pulls the data from xprofile? I couldn’t make much sense of function bp_user_fullname(). The real magic apparently happens somewhere else.

Getting regular wp data works fine. If I could figure out how to consistently synchronize firstname and last name between xprofile and wp_usermeta, that would solve the problem as well.

[John James Jacoby]

Andre Tan, I suspect the issues you’re having are related to shared hosting + the XMLRPC interface for including forums into groups. Future versions of BuddyPress will not have this problem as it includes bbPress and references it directly going forward.

It may still end up being a little heavy on the server, but you should experience the random load issues that you are currently.

[peterverkooijen]

Thanks Jeff Sayre!

The plugin has a very messy structure. I’ve tried with $bp added to global in several functions in the plugin, both in the main file and the file with the form. Nothing has any effect.

Are there any downsides to adding $bp if it’s not strictly needed? Can you make any plugin “Buddypress ready” by just adding that $bp to global?

I did get regular wp data working with help from their forum. I had to add this to the php:

global $current_user;

get_currentuserinfo();

Does Buddypress have something like that? Anything else I can try?

[Archie Webmaker]

Thank you for the responses,

I think I will try it myself

Just disable blog registrations in your Site Admin > Options panel. And please take some time to do a cursory search of Google or the WPMU forums as this is a basic question and nothing to do with Buddypress.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

No, BP doesn’t provide a BB theme. And before someone asks, no the forum theme on this site is not being released. I’m sure if someone invented 30 hour days, then BP might come with a BB theme.

[Jeff Sayre]

…when there are possibly more users hammering on the shared box that we’re hosted on.

There are just too many variables to address when you’re hosting a WPMU install on a shared box. It could be your install, it could be the server’s resources are being hogged by a few other domains on that server, it could be, it could be…

This BP thread may be helpful: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-and-shared-hosting

In case you have not seen this, here’s an article in the BP Codex about improving performance.

[Jeff Sayre]

General theming guidance is beyond the scope of these forums as it really is more an issue of learning how to use CSS and WordPress/BuddyPress template loops to create the design you are after.

But, to help get you started, here a few links:

1. Advice on using the default BP themes or Skeleton Theme that comes with BP
2. A great tool to use while designing your theme.
3. Basic how tos on WordPress theme design. NOTE: this link pertains to wordpress themes in general, not BuddyPress themes. But, you should really understand WP theming before you set out to do a BP custom theme.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

That email is sent as part of WPMU and as such it is best to ask this at their forums. I bet this question comes up lots.

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Wpmu forums, even

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

There is no server-specific data used by Buddypress. Export all the BP tables and import them into the new database.

For specific advice on migrating a WPMU installation, it’s probably best to look at the Wu forums.

[D Cartwright]

Sorry to ‘bump’ my own post but I’ve been thinking about this a bit more today – should I be directing this query towards the WPMU forums instead?

Just looking for guidance really

nc_matt:

enable pingbacks on both WPMU & BBpress, that’s what I was missing.

[John James Jacoby]

Yeah it’s a webkit browser issue, happens on Chrome also. BP.org is going to get some attention when 1.1 comes out, as the forums integration is going to get a facelift, etc…

[gerikg]

“Enable Pingbacks” for BBP & WPMU

[gerikg]

I had the same problem. I also refused to use a version that is non stable.

I read everything over and over. Mostly everything point to three major “integration” blogs.

I almost gave up until I was looking at my FTP and noticed the read “installation-readme.txt” in the bp-forums folder in BuddyPress plugin.

This line—-> Also check the “Enable Pingbacks” option just below.

That’s the only thing that wasn’t in the instructions. I enable in both WPMU and BBPress and it worked!

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Possibly. There may be something else in the database with regards to the path. I wouldn’t recommend moving an installation, I’d personally always reinstall it.

Are you using any custom slugs and when you try to register, is there anything in your web server log? Also please see https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/when-asking-for-support

[prnoct90]

That’s the thing, nothing changed. I moved over some wordpress and buddpress tables from an old installation, but I didn’t change any of the bbpress tables.
