Hey pollyplummer,

I replied to a similar post:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/use-bp-default-home-theme-on-a-different-url-then-root#post-21284

But you have the right idea!

Hello,

I’ve tried every step on this and it’s still not working.

My problem is when I go to create a group the check box is blocked so I can’t click it but a few times the forum link has appeared. I try to make a topic through the group and it shoots me an error. Any other thing I’m missing?

I suggest you post this on the WPMU forums as it looks likely to be a WPMU problem and not a Buddypress problem

[3612275]

Thanks for the reply r-a-y. The forums were down for me for the last week so I haven’t been able to check in until just now…

I would love to have this feature, among several others that I have in mind. If there’s a BP guru and programmer out there that can help me, I’m willing to pay you for your efforts.

I just have a few things left to integrate before I can go live with my site .

[peterverkooijen]

No, not impossible. You’ll have to write your own plugins.

[Mark]

wpmu 2.8.2, bp 1.0.3, bbpress 1.0.2

I believe my integration is working as advertised but… when I delete a forum topic from a buddypress group it is removed from the group forum but not deleted from bbpress. Over time the bbpress forum will have a growing number of topics/posts that group admins think they have deleted (from buddypress) but actually live on in bbpress.

I’m not sure if tags within buddypress group forums are working. Tags can be added but I only find them available when directly accessing bbpress. While on the buddypress side, I’m not able to search groups for tags in the group forum.

Are these issues of a bad integration on my part or just limits of the current versions?

[peterverkooijen]

The Ajax redirect in this solution, with the register?s=1, had some annoying side effects that made it unusable. See the original thread for details.

Or did you fix that problem, sandeepdude? I’m a bit reluctant to try it again and find out that it’s the exact same code…

I’ll look for a solution in the next few days. Another way to show an Ajax message after redirect would probably be part of the solution.

Found the answer here:

[pbowman]

Thanks that seems to fix the activity stream issue.

I’m still having difficulty getting the Forums option in the Groups to work though. All I get is this message when I create a group:

Attention Site Admin: Group forums require the correct setup and configuration of a bbPress installation.

As far as I can tell it’s all setup properly. Am I missing something here?

Thanks again

Doing more research I found the following thread in the wp-forum:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/273413?replies=2:

Mippe: P2 brokes äÄ öÖ åÅ letters when editing. That pretty much sums it all up.

noel (Administrator): We’re aware of the issue and will fixing this in the next release.

But I am still unsure: This problem then occurs only with WordPress MU?

Hello Mates, I know I went M.i.A for a while.

but I wanted to say thanks for the good responses

before it got way too late.

I got focused into developing our BP site

and have been searching through the forums

for all kinds of questions and possibilities.

I’m sure I’ll be posting about them soon.

But for this, I think we’ll start working with group / blog mods first

and try out the multi-site url solutions.

The BP integration still seems like an interesting challenge

especially as the single wordpress BP installs come into play.

John if you have more details about the functions.php solution,

please contact me.

and if there are any other ideas about this,

or possible plugin solutions,

I’d love to hear them.

Sincerely,

– Jeff –

.

[peterverkooijen]

Was this functionality now part of the roadmap for Buddypress? Did Andy or other Buddypress developers get Nicola Greco’s code?

I’ll bring this up on the WPMU forum as well.

[magznetwork]

I use BP 1.03 with WPMU 2.82.

I found GroupBlog plugin here and need to test it first.

John,

I think you are right, the integration used by BPGroups becomes redundant when further integration is used, as it seems to want to double up. The forums, and posts work fine for me with that line commented out so fingers crossed I’ve got it working OK.

I think to find any white screen issues with the buddybar plugin everyone should start from a zero plugin count and then work forwards after activating the buddybar plugin to see which plugins are intefering with it. Perhaps in the future a full deep integration plug in can be set up to resolve these issues.

[Kieran]

Brilliant thanks Jotem!

This maybe pushing it but is there any way to have the avatars display only for activity which has excerpts? So blog posts, wire posts forum posts which all have text excerpts would include the avatar but updates such as Jim and John are now friends would not.

thanks for all the help!

[Korhan Ekinci]

Thank you sooooo muchhh Reboot Now!

One thing is that, still I have “nbsmrt” (username and not the name) linking to his profile (which is perfect) after your coding. How can it be solved that the name “murat” is shown and not the username.

http://fenerbook.com/forum/topic/fenerbahcenin-transfer-gundemi-alev-alev

Thanks again for the help!

[Greg]

The thing is that bbPress doesn’t know that the user “nbsmrt” has BP Name “murat”.

UPDATE: Scratch that – your display names should actually be working, and in fact I see that they are for users other than “nbsmrt”. The bit I put below is necessary if you want the author link to go back to their BP profile instead of the bbPress profile page.

I wanted the name to be consistent everywhere, so I have a bit of common code that displays the user’s details in forum posts, blog comments, etc. Note that it requires deep integration because I am accessing BP variables inside bbPress.

For example, here is what I do in the forum…

First, in post.php I get the author’s details like so:

$author_id = get_post_author_id( $post_id );

$author = get_userdata( $author_id );

$author_loginname = $author->user_login;

$author_displayname = get_post_author();

Then I call a function to display the user link, avatar and other things. Part of this function does the following:

<?php

$author_url = _profile_url( $author_loginname );

?>



<div class="username">

<a href="<?php echo $author_url ?>"><?php echo $author_displayname ?></a>

</div>

And here is the code for the _profile_url() function:

function _profile_url( $login_name=0 ) {

global $bp;



/* if no login name is specified, use logged in user */

if ($login_name) {

$url = $bp->root_domain . '/members/' . $login_name . '/profile';

} else {

$url = $bp->loggedin_user->domain . 'profile';

}



return $url;

}

So the user’s BP Name is always used, and it always links to their BP profile.

My one concern about all this is that get_userdata() does a SQL query, adding one query for each author in a topic thread.

Thanks for the information. I tried uninstalling the buddypress plugin (even physically deleting the file), but its remnants remain. I’d hate to delete my entire wpmu installation just to deactivate one plugin. I understand buddypress 1.1 is expected in late august with improved forum integration. I’ll wait until then.

[plrk]

“bumping” will not help you. It is only annoying. If noone replies, it is because noone reading the forums knows the answer. (I’m reading this after having been away – I would have done so even without your “bump”.) Please do not do it again – anywhere on the internet.

I have no idea why the component returns to it’s “disabled” state, try re-installing – either just it or the entire setup.

A “forum” tab will never appear on your BuddyPress site, unless you apply specific code. You can put something like this in a file called bp-custom.php in your wp-content/plugins folder:

function add_forum_to_main_menu() {

?><li><a href="http://example.org/forum/" title="Forum">Forum</a></li><?php

}

add_action( 'bp_nav_items', 'add_forum_to_main_menu' );

[Jeff Sayre]

but when I click on any member or go to the members page, the template for members doesn’t load.

Elisheva-

Welcome to the BuddyPress forums!

When I went to your site and clicked on the “Members” button, it did bring up a members’ theme. However, it seems like you have selected the “Skeleton BuddyPress Member Theme” and not the “BuddyPress Default Member Theme”.

Please go back into the admin panle to “Buddypress > General Settings”, select “BuddyPress Default Member Theme” and then make sure to hit the “Save Settings” button at the bottom.

If the default member theme is already selected, deselect it by selecting a different theme, hit the “Save Settings” button, and then reselect the “BuddyPress Default Member Theme” once again and hit the “Save Settings” button one more time.

Does that fix the issue?

[Felix J]

Got helped in the wpmu forum. I would need a wpmu plugin to do what I want.

Oh there is one thing more…

Now I just need to know if BuddyPress can handle these sorts of plugins for example https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yet-another-multi-site-manager/ , if not what do I need to do so it can?

Please tell me.

Thanks

[Jeff Sayre]

As far as number one: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/only-one-blog-for-user

As far as numbers two and three, I’d search the WPMU forums and the WP plugin repository for possible solutions.

[Jeff Sayre]

If you are asking if can you use some other forum software instead of bbPress as a sitewide forum, then the answer is yes. If you are asking if can you use some other forum software instead of bbPress that will share user credentials or function as a group-based forum component, then the answer is no–not without doing a lot of custom coding.

However, I believe that Simple:Press does share WP user credentials, but I am not positive about this as I do not use it.

[Felix J]

Yes I will ask there too.

So anyone know if this is possible in wpmu if yes would it also work in bp?

Or is it any wpmu plugin that does this?

Since this is a “Miscellaneous” forum I guess it’s ok to ask these kind of question or?

[peterverkooijen]

I think that’s very much a WPMU issue.
