Wow – thanks you both so much for the quick and concise replies.

This is the most helpful and knowlegable forum I have ever used!

Burt’s code was perfect

Bump

I had asked about this earlier but I have still not found the solution. Please post if you have one. Thanks!

@Rogercoathup

Not really. The standard operating procedure on the forums is that when a given issue is finally determined to be a bug, and that bug has been isolated, that it then gets posted in trac.

But, if you think that you’ve found a bug, you can go right into trac and file a new ticket. If it is big enough of an issue, creating a thread in the forums and pointing to your new trac ticket may be in order.

this post might help you answer some of your questions… https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3204

[Jeff Sayre]

Anything new since two months ago? There have been many changes to BuddyPress over that time!

Have you searched the forum and read this thread

If so, then you need to provide more of an explanation than “Having the same problems with avatars”. That tells us exactly nothing to begin the process of providing support. Please see this thread as well.

@Burt: thanks, have registered it in trac

Are there guidelines on what should be reported to the trac, and what belongs on the forums?

You betcha. Get your template up and running then?

[Jeff Sayre]

Jessica-

I can’t remember if you’ve tried this yet. If not, it is worth a shot.

Switch to the standard bbPress theme. Place the calls to wp-head and wp-footer in the appropriate places. Don’t worry about the calls to the search-login-bar. We’re only doing a test to see if we can get the top menu bar to appear.

Also, does your BuddyBar show for logged in users but just not for those who are logged off?

@Burt

Thanks a lot for the function reference.

bbpress RC2 and RC3 integration is broke. See: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3199

Neither one of us in that thread had any success. I’m particularly proud of my discovery of the true nature of the relationship between bp/wpmu/bbpress when it comes to integrating the three:

Matt-

Have you looked at the Trent’s detailed instructions here? His instructions work with bbPress RC1.

Also, is you’re not using BP v1.0.1, it may be a good idea to upgrade.

[Jeff Sayre]

Well, it depends. In your first post, you stated that

slimbox and other similar plugins aren’t working.

If you are talking specifically about Slimbox1 (notice the number 1), then the answer to your above question is you don’t. Slimbox1 relies upon the Mootools framework, not the jQuery toolkit. However, if you are talking about Slimbox2, it was rewritten to utilize jQuery.

So, first make sure that you are using Slimbox2 as Mootools and jQuery do not always play well together. Second, upgrading jQuery in an 3rd-party component is beyond the scope of this forum. It is best to let the plugin developers handle such upgrades.

@Sean

Are you still having this issue? Everything looks fine when I visit the link you’ve provided.

If this issue is resolved, please set the light on top to green. If not, please answer these questions: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2674

Hi Sean,

This seems to be a common issue. I had the same thing with my first installation. The system happened to crash when I deleted my original site admin user profile so I had to completely reinstall the 2.7.1 and bp 1.0.1

Anyway, I started a topic on this, https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3181

Burt thought I was trying to modify the look but in reality this seems to be a bug that I believe somehow develops after the installation of some of the plugins. That’s my shoot from the hip thought. I think it has to do with Nicola’s BPDEV plugin set. Sorry Nicola but your plugins have some issues. Not all of them but some of them.

Hi Burt

thanks a lot for letting me know

I’m WPMU 2.7.1 BP 1.0.1 and BBPress 1.0-alpha-6

I’m planning for the groups forum to be the main content part of my site and so it would be great for seo purposes if the buddypress urls can include the bbpress rewrite.

Fingers crossed for the future!!

Btw I couldn’t get the bbpress RC to work either, works great once I went to 1.0-alpha-6

[Burt Adsit]

I just don’t think anybody really knows. What version bp, wpmu, bbpress? That’s got to be somewhere around bbpress rc2 though. Not sure when bbpress went with the permalinks options. I can’t help you at the moment. I wiped my dev server’s bbpress, upgraded to bbpress rc2 and can’t get group forums to work at all. I can’t get that to work or wp/bbpress cookie integration. It’s the usual issue with conflicting, incorrect or just plain missing docs on how to make it happen properly.

We have wordpress config settings, bbpress config settings, bp config settings. After careful and lengthy research, I’ve determined that it all is somehow related to this:

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/forces/imgfor/fforcon.gif

I guess I get to wait until Automattic decides that integration of their three products is actually important. This is a back burner issue with my dev server. I just don’t have the time to track down the problem at the moment.

[Jeff Sayre]

Ross:

Based on this response to the list of questions,

Was WPMU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress? No

and the fact that you have installed so many plugins, I’m going to suggest that you go over to the WPMU forums and ask for assistance there. It appears that you are looking at a WPMU problem and not a BuddyPress-specific issue.

[Kieran]

A gentle bump! Can anyone help me?

Is it possible for the url links to Forum posts that are found within BP Groups to be in the permalink style (including the topic title as they are in bbpress)?

thanks

[Matt Kern]

Thanks Chris. I just did that and the install seemed good but now whenever I try to go to the forum I get

” Oh dear!

bbPress is already installed.

Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?”

Its weird. I did not get stuck at this part with the beta version. I am going to start over again to see what happens.

[@ChrisClayton]

type in a unique username for it, when i installed bbpress, i chose ‘forumadmin’. you can easily make your ‘admin’ username the keymaster for it later, when its setup.
