Can you link us to your site please?

If you have this integrated as you say, you may be able to completely remove the login in bbpress and just use the integrated cookies to make it work.

[Korhan Ekinci]

Does anyone have an idea to the solution?

[Rohan Kapoor]

You can use the same admin account. BTW: I have mastered Deep Integration to the point of making the forum fit into ANY WordPress Theme! Take a look at http://wpmu.zyrot.com/forums/ for a demo. And no, I’m not using Iframes, it’s all themed!

[David Lewis]

Ah. It was a cookie thing. I cleared them all and now I can login. I wasn’t able to get the cookie integration options set properly when I installed bbPress. I’m still confused by step 1 however. Do you need two users? WP Admin and BBPress Admin? Or can you use the same for both? And how do you create the use “on the BBPress” side. Do you do that during installation or after?

p,s, are you aware that on Safari Mac you get a “strong” tag in this forum post editor every time you click in the editor window?

[David Lewis]

Please elaborate on step 1 in the first post. “1) you have bbpress installed and a new user created on the “bbPress” side which you granted “administrator” rights by the keymaster”. I’m on my third attempt now from scratch. Pretty aggravated. To put it mildly.

p.s. On my third attempt I got WPMU, BP and BBPress installed successfully… but now I can’t log into the WPMU admin side anymore. I get a bunch of redirects to the login page and then the page fails to load due to too many redirects.

This, I think, is a request for a theme developer to come and make you a theme. I’m going to close this thread as this forum is for support and discussion around BuddyPress, and not a place where people should submit job adverts (voluntary or not).

People can see what you’ve written here and can contact you directly if they are interested. I suggest that you also post on the BuddyPress job board group.

Chouf1, I had a similar problem and contacted the plugin owner and here are the details:

[Korhan Ekinci]

Interesting, I use looks-like-buddypress theme and tried several times activating BBcode lite and BBcode buttons and nothing appeared in the post area!

Then I read ck’s post in the forum saying that, these plugins are not compatible with 1.0.x version and that he will work on the plugins towards the end of the year… And gave up on it!

Did you hack it r-a-y?

[Korhan Ekinci]

TheEasyButton, I think we are getting close, you mention about links and trailing slashes. When I go to general settings of bbpress, I see:

bbPress address (URL)as “http://mydomain.com/forum/” with the slash at the end, I am not sure if this is the problem?

I tried saving it without, but goes back to the “/” at the end!

I am not good in coding and assume that maybe hacking bb-login.php file some way will solve the problem?!? Or .htaccess?1?

Ant suggestions?

[TheEasyButton]

I’ve had this happen before. Here are 3 solutions which have worked for me in the past. There IS another but I can’t for the life of me remember what file needed hacked.

1. Check all of the links that you had to put into configurations. Make sure that the links & trailing slashes are correct.

2. Try overwriting the files with a new download. If the download glitched, you’ll have wonky files in your install & it will do that.

3. Another thing to try is a new install. (don’t forget to do backups) When doing the new install, pay attention to step 2 where it asks for your site & blog URL. If you used a trailing slash before, don’t use it this time & vice versa.

I have just had the same problem but followed the workaround listed in the thread above which worked.

If you can’t post in the forums:

1. Log out.

2. Come back to the forums, select the forum you want to post in.

3. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and hit the “Log In” link.

4. Log in.

5. You should be able to post.

Thank you for your reply R-A-Y

I checked and it is none of the above! I have bbpress+bp+wpmu working fine. I have done all the integration necessary.

It is only on the front page of the forums and no-where else. When I login on the front page of the forum, I get:

Page not found!

I’m sorry, but there is nothing at this URL.

I refresh the page or click on the links (like homepage, members, forums), I am actually logged in!

It seems to me that it is a stupid error somewhere!?!

[r-a-y]

Hey korhanekinci,

Got your PM.

I didn’t reply to this thread, because I’m not sure what the problem is

Otherwise, I would have written something; but anyway, here’s some possible things to check out:

• Can you navigate to any bbPress topic? Is this only on the bbPress front-page?
• Try going to your bbPress admin area and deactivating any or all of your bbPress plugins and see if that fixes the problem.
• Make sure you uploaded all the bbPress distribution files. You could be missing the index.php.

That’s all I can think of at the top of my head.

Hope one of them fixes your problem.

[r-a-y]

I experienced a similar problem as well.

Did you edit a BuddyPress core file using a bpGroups function?

You should let Burt Adsit know of your fix, so maybe he can provide a cleaner solution using his plugin instead of editing the core:

Try adding this to line 161 of /wp-content/mu-plugins/oci_bp_group_forums.php

add_action( 'groups_create_group_step2_save', 'oci_bb_group_updated', 10, 1 );

See if that does the same thing.

[localwpmu]

This topic mentioned the same issue of not being able to deactivate buddypress 1.0.3 plugin after upgrade. https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/fatal-error-after-upgrading-to-wordpress-mu-282-and-buddypress-103

[Korhan Ekinci]

ok, I had one member with user name “Korhan”, I guess I did this by mistake in the forum profile edit area and could not somehow change it back to “korhan”. So I went inside the database and changed it manually. Posting works now.

I also changed all profile links in forums to buddypress /member/username way, so that there are no 2 places where users play with their profiles but just one and that should be buddypress profile pages.

I know this is going off topic, but here is what I did so that others can use it. I use the looks-like-buddypress theme for my forums:

I changed the logged-in.php file:

<div id="logout-link">

<?php bp_loggedinuser_avatar_thumbnail( 20, 20 ) ?> &nbsp;

<?php bp_loggedinuser_link() ?>

<?php bb_admin_link( 'before= / ' );?>

/ <?php bb_logout_link(); ?>

</div>

Also added the css

#logout-link {

float: right;

}



#logout-link img {

vertical-align: middle;

}

This way the looks are the same as bp

I also changed the sign-up page link to bp’s. I replaced the sign-up button in login-form.php with this:

<input type="button" name="signup-submit" id="signup-submit" value="<?php _e( 'Sign Up', 'buddypress' ) ?>" onclick="location.href='<?php echo bp_signup_page() ?>'" />

If you have disabled registration on your WordPress MU installation, and users are still signing up, you may have forgotten that if you are running group forums you have a bbPress installation that synchronizes users with the WordPress MU installation. Disable registration in bbPress and you should be good to go.

[Windhamdavid]

Make sure you have the themes in the proper locationI haven’t been following these forums too closely recently and I haven’t seen this error, but I went straight up 2.7.1 to 2.8.1 then 2.8.2. try this.. make sure you’re not refreshing a ?action=”*&^^” page.. just the plugins.php, delete out of the mu-plugins folder. refresh.. you should see NO Buddypress. drop it in the regular plugins folder.. refresh and then ‘activate site wide’.

[Windhamdavid]

the fbc_get_avatar() error is from the facebook connect… it’s been addressed somewhere else in the forums. ..it’s been fixed. The spam.. the user “LnddMiles” is not just on buddypress sites, so it’s a spambot that looks for open registrations.

You should add a captcha or math problem to your registration page to divert these.

[Windhamdavid]

I think that’s very nicely done! simple, effective, 300 lines…. publicly +1, forum +1, the api..maybe just some jquery flot

[plrk]

More specifically, I’m wondering:

• Is it a good idea to add fancy graphs using the Google Maps API (each user would have to use their own API key, naturally)?
• Should there be an option to display all or some of these graphs publicly, that is, not in the administration panel? If so, where and which?
• What more graphs would you like? I’m thinking about adding Wire and Forum stats, good/bad?

[lokers]

ok, I’ve got temporary solution.

File: wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups.php

Line 1481: yous should have (inside function groups_create_group() / case 2:)

after:

do_action( ‘groups_create_group_step2_save’ );

I’ve added this line:

oci_bb_group_updated($group_obj->id);

So it works, but i had to modify this file which I am not happy with. I guess there is another way of doing this properly. If anyone will find better solution, could you please let me know too?

[lokers]

yes, I’ve got this plugin (bpGroups), it works fine but it has this one bug and I don’t know how to fix this damn thing.

Basicaly, when you are creating a new group there is a checkbox to create a forum on bb site too. Below are 3 group options: public, private, hidden.

Now, the script creates forum (default is public), then it changes settings for a group (private or hidden), and it should do this at a first place so it could inherit proper group settings when creating a forum. Do you know what I mean? I just want to swap the order somewhere inside the code to make it working. It should first update group settings, then create a forum. That way it would work properly.

I googled about this etc, looks like nobody’s aware of this bug cos I couldn’t find any answers and nobody even point this anywhere.

[plrk]

bbPress does not have any native ways to hide forums that should be hidden. You can do as I have done – installing a “blank” theme that redirects users to your main site, limiting users to use the built-in group forums functionality only – or you could install a bbPress plugin that hides forums from those that are not allowed to view them. There is such a plugin, intended specifically for buddypress users, but I can’t remember what it is called.

[lokers]

Just to clarify. I am talking about plugin for buddypress to communicate with bbpress. And by saying forum is visible I mean forum created with this plugin on bbpress side is visible (but should inherit settings from group).
