forgot to mention, I’m using the latest trunk and have installed bbpress and go it where when you signin it will log you into bbpress as well. But since this error occured I uninstalled bbpress. bbpress used to be located at ndcom.com/forums/

Oh, still on shared hosting and will be going to dedicated tomorrow or day after.

It sounds as if you had groups set up before you set up the forums. Go into each group, disable the discussion component, save, then re-enable.

i seem to get bbpress inetgration going, but when i go to step no.4 “Edit “settings” to enable xmlrpc and pingbacks (both)”, there’s where my problem lies.

I cannot seem to turn on “Enable XML-RPC”. i ticked the box to enable XML-PRC but after saving the settings, it returns the same, still off. funny thing is, i can edit all everything else in the settings, except turning on Enable XML-RPC.

is this a file edit or a database edit i can turn on in phpmyadmin?

i have been wracking my head off troubleshooting this.

any information anyone?

thanks in advance!

Hi Bloom

Could you raise this as a ticket on the bug tracker? https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket/

You can log in with the same user/password as you do for these forums. Thanks.

Hi, Im trying to conect my WPmu + BuddyPress with bbpress.

First I install the forum in a diferent database, then usign the settings I try to conect with wordpress but it show me this:

bbPress database error: [Unknown character set: ‘urf8’]

SET NAMES ‘urf8’

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/thbru/public_html/airmylove.com/forum/bbpress/bb-includes/db-mysql.php:130) in /home/thbru/public_html/airmylove.com/forum/bbpress/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 192

And I don´t have any clue!, some had the same issue ?

Thanx for this forum!

[Paul Wong-Gibbs]

Woah, woah. One problem at a time I’d suggest I assume you are using BP from Trunk and not RC-1. If you are using RC-1, I suggest using the Trunk.

Leave the forums for last. Also leave the random blog link for now. I suspect it is related to your other problems:

I have a lot of blogs already set up, and they are now showing on my front page as members, with the members.

Yep.

The blogs already set up do not show up in the members blogs on their profiles, but they do in the top bar.

Yep. I’m using http://theartnetwork.co.uk/wpmu/members/dedesorensen/ to test these with.

This will take some diagnosing. First of all, if you’ve modified the default homepage theme *at all*, please restore the original homepage theme. Is the problem (let’s go for the first one, blogs listed in members widget) still there?

If it is, please remove any plugins you’ve got in /plugins/ or /mu-plugins/ out. I can tell you’ve got at least nextgen-gallery, wlwmanifest, eshop. After moving these out (with the pristine default homepage theme), does the problem remain?

[Aron Jay]

much better solution here.. with an option to set the number of blogs you want the user to have..

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1900

EDIT: i didn’t notice that this topic was 3 weeks ago..

[Aron Jay]

do not try the first code.. look here..

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1900

that function of that code above is to restrict non-logged in users from accessing the profile and group pages.. so, wrong post.. sorry if i confused you..

It is realy a native bbPress theme

But they are to lame to release it …

[Aron Jay]

@Ipin,

Really great!

[Mike Pratt]

We have a working custom function on our BP site that does the following:

1. notifies all members of a Group when a

a. new topic is created

b. post occurs on a topic in the group

We are in the process of adding the capability of a user to control these settings as well. We will post the code when we are finished, unless of course, Andy beats us to it and then we’ll use his!

FYI – it dramatically increases forum participation

[Burt Adsit]

Before we go to far with this what menu are you talking about? The admin bar menu or the member/home theme’s button bar menu?

[Andy Peatling]

You won’t get emails from this form, that is just for group forums. Your best bet right now is to use the RSS feeds.

I’ll be updating the forums to re-introduce favorites lists etc once 1.0 is out of the door and I can put some time into it.

[Wcastillo]

@Renefyrster: I’m not in my home computer where I have access to my codes but I remember that I modify the header.php file…

There’s a part in that file where you will see listed all buttons of the top menu enclosed in LI tags… Those tags are only shown if the functions they are trying to expose to the user do exists in your installation (I mean, if you have not installed Groups module, the Group link won’t be showed and so on).

Well… You need to do something similar with you forum link… I remember I did something like this:

<?php

if (function_exists(‘any_bbpress_function_I_cant_remember_any_at_the_momento)) { ?>

<li <?php if (is_page(‘Forums’)) echo ‘class=”selected”‘; ?>>

< a href=”url to your blog”>Forums

<?php { ?>

This code might be wrong because I don’t have the right code here… but that’s the idea…

Hope it helps.

[renefyrster]

i mean how to modify the menu?

[renefyrster]

Hi again,

Burtadsit, can you please explain me how to cusotmize the menu part then?

[kennibc]

Please see this posting. I had the same question and this worked for me:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1629

[Wcastillo]

Not sure if it will help anyone but I’ll post it anyway.

I really wanted to launch my BP site with facebook integration AND Invite facebook Friends as well. And given that Andy said he will probably not be working on the BP Facebook Connect pluggin, well.. I made a rough workaround that did the job.

Hope it helps.

Requirements:

– You need to have BP-Facebook Connect installed.

– You need to have Exec-PHP plugin installed.

– You need to have Exclude Pages plugin installed (optional)

Step 1:

==================================

First, I made a new file called invitefriends.php. I put it the root directory of BP.. but you can place it anywhere you want and take care of the paths. This is the code (not sure if it will get throught the parsing functions of this forum… my apologies in advance if it doesn’t):

<?php

$root = dirname(__FILE__); // repeat dirname( as many times as folders levels you save this file… For instance: if you save it in wp-content, it should be dirname(dirname(__FILE__));

if (file_exists($root.’/wp-load.php’)) {

// WP 2.6

require_once($root.’/wp-load.php’);

} else {

// Before 2.6

require_once($root.’/wp-config.php’);

}

if (function_exists(‘fbc_facebook_client’)) {

// if the current user is a facebook user, show his/her friends…

$fbuid = fbc_facebook_client()->get_loggedin_user();

if ($fbuid) { ?>

<fb:serverfbml style=”width: 100%;”>

<script type=”text/fbml”>

<fb:fbml>

<fb:request-form

action=”<?php echo get_option(‘siteurl’); ?>”

method=”GET”

invite=”true”

type=”<?php echo get_option(‘blogname’); ?>”

content=”<?php echo get_option(‘blogname’).” : “.get_option(‘blogdescription’); ?>

<fb:req-choice url='<?php echo get_option(‘siteurl’); ?>’

label='<?php _e(‘Become a member!’, ‘mt_trans_domain’) ?>’ />”>

<fb:multi-friend-selector

showborder=”false”

actiontext=”<?php _e(‘Select the friends you want to invite.’, ‘mt_trans_domain’) ?>”>

</fb:request-form>

</fb:fbml>

</script>

</fb:serverfbml>

<?php } else {

// If s/he is not a facebook user, tell him/her s/he has to be one in order to invite friends.

echo __( ‘Tienes que haber ingresado como un usuario Facebook para poder invitar amigos.’, ‘mt_trans_domain’ );

$user = wp_get_current_user();

if (!$user->ID) {

// if s/he is not a facebook neighter a site member yet… show the Facebook login button.

echo ‘

<fb:login-button size=”large” background=”dark” length=”long”></fb:login-button>’;

}

}

}

?>

==================================

Step 2:

– Create a new page, named it whatever you want (I name it Invite Facebook Friends, in spanish).

– Exclude this page from the front-page (using the Exclude-Page plugin)

The code of my page looks like this:

<?php

if (function_exists(‘fbc_facebook_client’)) {

// if the current user is a facebook user, load invitefriends.php into an IFRAME.

$fbuid = fbc_facebook_client()->get_loggedin_user();

if ($fbuid) { ?>

<iframe width=”100%” height=”700″ frameborder=”no” src=”invitefriends.php”></iframe>

<?php } else {

// If s/he is not a facebook user, tell s/him he has to be in order to invite friends.

echo ‘<p>Tienes que haber ingresado como un usuario Facebook para poder invitar amigos.’;

$user = wp_get_current_user();

if (!$user->ID) {

// If s/he is not a facebook nor a member… show her/him the facebook button.

echo ‘

<fb:login-button size=”large” background=”dark” length=”long”></fb:login-button>’;

}

echo ‘</p>’;

}

}

?>

==================================

As you can it is a extermelly rough approach… but I’m not a WordPress developer nor a WPMU one… nor a BP one… I’m not familiar with the plugin framework of WordPress so I tried to do my best.

I hope it helps.

[Wcastillo]

I concur with Burtadsit’s statement. I wonder why Automattic does not take on SimpleForum and make it the default WP forum… It integrate WP seamlessly, no need to be themed and is rich featured.

[dainismichel]

Thanks DJ Paul.

Now, if I would like users to be able to share PDF files, images, videos, etc., how would I do that?

For some reason, I am not sure if I’m “really” using WordPress, and I don’t know what the “admin” can do, and what sub-blog owners can and can’t do.

Basically, can I tell them, if you want to share images, documents, etc., just create a blog for yourself and start uploading? So, I think there is something called next gen image gallery, or I can surf around on the buddy press forum and find plugins that do a good job with file sharing/viewing?

If a plugin is available in the “main” blog, and it works there, does that mean that the same plugin is available for all of the blogs?

What kind of user functionality tends to break BuddyPress? What do I need to avoid, so that I have the easiest time with support?

Best,

Dainis

bbPress is an absolute pain to work with. Its themeing process is unlike the rest of the Automatic family, very idiosyncratic and frustrating if you try to tackle it from scratch.

But…

I discovered that Refueled.Net makes a \\\”blank\\\” bbPress theme that is a snap to customize. Head over to: http://www.refueled.net/free-bbpress-themes/ and install one of those, then go in and make your custom mods there.

Easypeazy.

[sharethought]

Thanks for your reply…Ya for first one after searching forum I have already by using donncha’s sidewide tags..

But FOr the second one..I think you didnt get my point… By using term “member blogs page” I am trying to From buddy press member profile page if you go to Member Profile-> Blogs-> Member’s Recent Posts…. There is no Page Navigation for Buddypress Default Theme… Sorry For my weak english that I could not make you understand in the first time..More over I am very new to wordpress and Buddypress… Please help how I can bring pagination on that page…thanks in advance… for better understanding I am talking about the page

http://mysite.com/members/member_name/blogs/recent-posts

[sharethought]

I have found the answer of your question in this forum after searching 2 days….below is the answer

You’ll have to install donncha’s sitewide tags plugin. It takes all blog posts from all blogs and puts them either on a ‘community’ blog that gets created for that purpose or you can have all blog posts go to the main blog.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-sitewide-tags/

I have used that plugin and I could bring all my blog post into the main blog…

[Burt Adsit]

I haven\\\’t tried that plugin Kenneth. I do know that others have had success with the solution outlined in the forum topic above. It\\\’s just not the most elegant solution because bp doesn\\\’t have any hooks for blog creation right now. Gotta hack the theme.

I thought I put in a ticket for a blog creation hook. Guess I didn\’t. I turned the red light on in this topic because I don’t have time to hunt down the best spot for a hook at the moment. I’ll lose track of this thread if it doesn’t stand out. Or somebody else could do it! (hint)
