I don’t know what the purpose of leaving it there is. Gotta be a reason. You might ask over at the mu forums. Perhaps it gets removed after a period of time? As a site admin I don’t want people signing up getting deleted by me and then signing up again? Dunno.

This is off topic for this thread. Sorry.

[Trent Adams]

This topic might get more attention if you post it in the WPMU forums as it isn’t a buddypress related issue.

@slaFFik I would check that you saved the right information in your WPMU admin for the forum user and that you have pingbacks and xmlrpc checkboxes on in bbPress. As well, you can’t have .htaccess blocking of your forums or it will not work. You can’t use the original force login plugin for bbPress (not mine) or it will not work.

You also have to make sure that you disable the forum for a group and then enable it after each and every change you make to try and get this working. If you enable it and then change more things it will not work. So basically, if it isn’t working, check over and change things to make sure it has the ability to work and then disable/enable the forum for a group. If you enable it and it isn’t working and then you change a setting so that it would work, but don’t disable forum posting and then re-enable, it still won’t work.

Hopefully that isn’t too confusing, but as long as all the settings are there and your WPMU install has access to the bbPress xmlrpc.php file, it should work. There is no doubt that Andy will eventually be doing more for the forums side of things, but it might be a couple of months.

Wish I had a magic wand to get everyone’s forums working, but really it boils down to triple checking all the settings and keep disabling/enabling forums for a group until it works.

As for the WPMU 2.7 download (before it is released), go to the bottom of the following page for the link to the zip.

This post maybe a little more clear, as it has a full working music player.

#1, the 2 is priority of the filter.

#2, I have been lazy and just made everything inside of the “social details” group active links. In the future I maybe validating them with some regular expressions or substring checking.

#3, check for an @ and at least 1 period in the string and no spaces? There are some very complex regular expressions which can validate e-mail addresses, but regular expressions are slower then substrings.

Those “steps” are for using the buddypress code, ie xml-rpc communication inside of groups. If you theme the general bbpress install to match your buddypress site then you won’t need to enable xmlrpc on the general site, just do the intergration.

I think someone will develop a modification of the groups, to be a general group pretty soon. If this is the case, then you would need to do those steps for both bbpress installs.

Hope that makes sense,

Thanks Brad,

I is still not clear in my mind the difference for buddypress in group forum and site wide forum configuration

Should i still do these steps?

1) you have bbpress installed and a new user created on the “bbPress” side which you granted “administrator” rights by the keymaster

2) you copy the “buddypress-enable.php” plugin out of the bp-forums folders and copy it into your /my-plugins/ folder (create if it doesn’t exist) so it is /my-plugins/buddypress-enable.php

3) Enable the plugin through your bbPress administration side for plugins

4) Edit “settings” to enable xmlrpc and pingbacks (both)

5) edit your bb-config.php and just before the closing php call at the bottom of the page put:

$bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;

Do you still do these steps? Or skip these steps and just installed the bbpress and do common wordpress integration like cookie and user integration?

Thank you

[fishbowl81]

Well, as the developer for http://gorgeousgamers.com/beta/ I figured I should answer this question.

I have 2 instances running of bbpress, 1 is .com/beta/forum/ and the other is in a different location. Currently it is not safe to combine them, as private groups would be visible to all members, which is still an issue but would be harder to find these hidden forums.

The menu bar, which lists the general forum is actually as simple as uncommenting the code in the header.php file in home theme.

I’m still not sure if I should theme bbpress to match the site, or modify a copy of the groups forum tools to allow general discussion. This wouldn’t be a quick development, but would be easier down the road as the theme develops.

Thanks,

Brad

thanks slaFFik, but i searched through trac.mu.wordpress.org for quite a while and still came up short. is there not a zip download offered somewhere?

[Mike Pratt]

Just did a test. BP is adding escape characters all over the place somewhere in the process. forum posts done in bbPress directly are just fine.

Andy, Burt, Nicola – Does BP do any additional text filtering along the way?

[yu]

1. you could create your one specific intro page with login/pass/reg only form and make this page as home in options of wp mu. i think.

2. there is flickr plugin live allready (hope gallery will be added lately to host photos inside BP too)

3. you can use phpbb or other forums insteed. i think it’s even better )

4. i think there is invite system live in BP, but i didn’t use it by now )

[Wardee]

Burt, no blank screen! Yay!

But what I don’t know now is what I can do with that bit of code. What are my possibilities?

[Wardee]

Good morning, Burt. Thanks for that bit of code. I’ll try it and hope for no blank screens!

Will you keep me informed as to your experiments?

So do you think I should undo my cookies and sessions part of the integration?

I’ve got the hidden-forums plugin waiting in the wings because I want admin and moderator only forums hidden from members. I haven’t had time to figure out how to set it up yet.

I’m really glad for you that you’re finding a solution.

[Burt Adsit]

Mornin’ wardeh! I’ve just started playing with the deep stuff. I’m gonna do some serious testing today. I can get mu and bp vars and bp functions. I just tried a couple of quick things.

My setup is to put a couple of things into bb-config.php:

---

$bb->WP_BB = true;

if (file_exists('../wp-blog-header.php'))

require_once('../wp-blog-header.php');

else

if (file_exists('../../wp-blog-header.php'))

require_once('../../wp-blog-header.php');

---

That’s it. Well ya gotta have user integration done. Cookies and sessions no. I changed stuff around so many times I just stopped doing the session integration. It’s not important now and evidently there are still major problems when going deep and sessions, nonces, cookies.

I haven’t tried doing anything major yet. I’ve created my own little bbpressBar. Then I found this deep stuff. Gonna do it though. Some things like ‘blog authors’ wont translate to running on bbpress.

This is gonna be fun. I found two plugins that I’m gonna adapt for getting group forums running better on bbpress. hidden-forums.php and read-only-forums.php and they look like they’ll work well with what I have in mind.

I played around using get_header() and get_footer() on the bbpress side to load the mu header and footer for look-and-feel. I just dropped it. I’ve already got the forums looking and feeling kinda the way I want them.

[Wardee]

Burt, I would love your help with deep integration. Are you putting some code in bb-config.php? What? The net has all sorts of examples and every one of them gives me a blank screen.

If you’re getting it working, does this mean you can load the BuddyBar with your bbPress forum?

Can you load the sidebar, with widgets?

I’m having trouble just with users being able to login at MU and then be logged in at my forums.

[Slava Abakumov]

trac.mu.wordpress.org – here you can find 2,7

Trent, nothing helped.

I installed or did:

1) WPMU (r1585);

2) bbPress Alpha 4;

3) integrate them properly;

4) edit bb-config.php and config.php;

5) install BuddyPress;

6) install bp-forum-enabled.php;

7) create a new admin user in bbPress;

write his login/pass to option page in WPMU;

9) create group in BP;

10) nothing changed.

What happened? Why can’t I launch forum?

[Burt Adsit]

I just found out that this ‘deep integration’ stuff where you load mu in your bb-config.php actually works. Well, maybe. Evidently the actions and filters in mu are gone when you do this. I have access to all sorts of bp and mu goodies now.

Gonna play. I’ll be awake for the next 2 or 3 days now. I should have access to all sorts of stuff from bp to get this forum issue out of the way.

[realfam]

i found the post you are talking about on buddypressdev.org/forums. anyway the way the post reads it looks like using version 0.92 is the fix for everything…..thats what I am using and still getting the error…..now what?

[mrmarkwatson]

hi

not necessarily any help, but I’m using the same host as you, and I’m trying to sort out a 404/BlankScreenof Death on my Groups page as per long thread on the forum, and it’s not clear what’s happening as it working fine on my localhost on windoze 2000 and it’s a bogstandard install.

[nicolagreco]

have you installed bpdev-simplepie, on buddypressdeorg/forums there is a topic that solves your problem

[gogoplata]

Try changing default role here (domain.com/wp-admin/wpmu-blogs.php?action=editblog&id=1) and here (domain.com/wp-admin/options.php) to “contributor” then do a test registration to see if the new user is a contributor or subscriber.

If that doesn’t work in wp-includeswpmu-functions.php change this:

add_user_to_blog(‘1’, $user_id, ‘subscriber’);

to this:

add_user_to_blog(‘1’, $user_id, ‘author’);

That should take care of all future signups, however existing users will be unchanged. If you don’t have too many users yet you can simply manually change them to authors, however, if you have a lot of signups check out this thread for a way to mass add users as authors.

[nicolagreco]

i’ll add it as soon as possible,

now i’ve a problem with bpdev-flickr 0.91 it doesn’t update user meta :S

(SOLVED)

@mikepratt i developed a plugin that cut the excerpt BPDEV-FORUM-EXCERPT. Look it working here:

http://buddypressdev.org/groups/plugins-extendings/forum/

as you can see, it shows only the first 140 word without cutting them and adding 3 consecutive fullstop..
