I don’t have a File manager on my Virtuozzo menu, the only file managers are on each domain, and there is no etc/ directory, how do I reach that directory?
Just to make things weirder:
Might have solved the problem mentioned above by:
1. creating user in BP 1st, admin rights, change pw
2. bb install process – keymaster is chosen as exactly the user created in BP previously
3. login admin bb install, change pw of keymaster, activate plugin, check off xmlrpc boxes
NOTE: I did NOT add the line $bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true; to bb-config
When I did, it broke again. Took it back out and full functionality.
Frankly, I’m afraid to ever launch for fear of getting tons of topics and posts generated anly to break it down the line and cause much down time while we fix……
If this insatll scheme that Andy speaks of is done…an included insatll with a forum generated for each group, is it safe to think that existing forums and post data will not be rendered moot and will nicely transfer over…if need be?
fixed by upgrading to WPmu 2.7SVN, now have this problem: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=676#post-3042
I dont get it, please help me as a noob. First time with wp
Its another bp-component: bp_xxx but works IN groups like forums. I’ve tried to use bp_group_id() (just as wire group) but isnt working.
Thanks Nicola. Can’t wait to add it once I get bbPress re-installed. Major issues getting back to where I was
Am dealing with an entirely different mysterious monster here: After running for weeks, I somehow corrupted my db and felt a fresh db was the only way to go (only test data to worry about) Currently running 2.7, BP latest trunk and a bbPress 1.0a4.
After getting all the way to bbPress/Wordpress integration menu (and seeing all the properly entered cookies/salts) when I enter the “wp_” prefix and click “Save settings” I am kicked out to the bbPress forum login screen and upon login of the keymaster or any other account, I am returned the error message “user does not exist” and thus completely locked out of the install. This happens whether I clear cookies or not at various stages in the process. Please help!
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.
These are the errors I got when trying to integrate the two:
SQL ERROR!
>>> Database: username (localhost)
>>>>>> ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD COLUMN post_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment;
>>>>>> Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key
SQL ERROR!
>>> Database: database (localhost)
>>>>>> ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD PRIMARY KEY (post_id);
>>>>>> Key column ‘post_id’ doesn’t exist in table
and the nonce key is missing in bbconfig
Hey Mike. Ya gotta say my name hey ‘burtadsit’ then it flashes my pigdin client. I see you were in there an hour ago. What prob?
In the meantime there’s this plugin called Hidden Forums by _ck_.
Burt – just tried you on IRC. any shot at a little help solving a nagging problem tomorrow? I am at wits end
@Mike yes I’m in Michigan. Wanna be in Arizona these days. OK, but a bunch of us are on irc.freenode.net #buddypress. I usually have that running.
I don’t mind spending a week to figure out a solution. Problem is that Sam, Andy and the powers that be are all sequestered in a smoke filled room with cigars deciding something.
What is that something? Would I be wasting my time? Dunno. That’s why “Hey Andy..”
Ya. ya. uhuh. Well, gotta lie to bbpress_live. Alot.
Why does mu care what my bb_capabilities are? Why does mu know about them at all? It’s obvious they are on the mu side of the fence and for some reason they have to be but why?
My role in bbpress should be represented in bbpress. I guess it is. The meta data just happens to be in a mu table. I don’t have a user table in bbpress when integrated with mu.
My role on blog ‘a’ has nothing to do with my role on blog ‘b’. Why can’t we treat a bbpress install as a blog? wp_1_capabilities, bb_1_capabilities.
Just thinking out loud.
Back to your comment. Yes. That’s what I would have to do. ‘bb_capabilities’ is for single connection to mu/bbpress. Then I need code to sit between the ‘get user capabilities’ request from bbpress and the ‘deliver bbpress connection params’ bp uses to fire up bbpress_live and start talking.
Gotta go look at the code.
went back and forth trying everything. Deleted the group forums I was able to create that only worked with the wp admin account, now can’t get them back…
Setup a new group, and only then can I create topics that give me an error message saying:
“There was an error posting that topic.”
They do create in forums, but I get an error, and I am not able to create topics or posts with other accounts other than the admin???
Nicola – I’d love a plugin if you find the time. I’m not sure where you plan on applying the filter? After all the other Activity filters are applied in Site_Wide_Activity or before?
@mike, why use a bp function? create a function that cut the text after a limited number of letter and then apply a filter!
I think it’s more simple.. as you want 
if you want i can write a plugin, but i’m a lot busy, i think i can work on it on 7 Jen..

It isn’t connecting to the forum. Check 4,5,6 and 7.
I get this error:
“There was an error posting that topic.”
However, it works on the forum side, but it says there are no posts
Does anyone else have this problem??? Thanks
No Joy. When I went to Site Admin -> Blogs -> and changed the Default Role to “Author” (also tried “author”) but every time I register a new user it shows up in my main blog as “Administrator” and if you look at the user under the Site Admin -> Users menu it says they are a Subscriber.
So which is it? Are there roles for both the User and the main blog that are different? I also tried a plugin found here https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=4166
no love. this is a biggie for me so I’ll be so so gracious if someone has insight! Thanks,
Mike
@burtadsit
Another alternative instead of separating WPMU & bbpress capabilities: you can assign specific user meta for each users. Say, the meta value is an array containing all forum ID that specific user belongs to. Of course you need to write some hack to the bbPress side as well. That way you can share both public & private forums in a single bbpress install.
Just an idea. I haven’t look into the code too 
love to IM if u can. AOL IM: mikejpratt
I don’t know I missed that function. My plan is to attack the activity filters (bp_create_excerpt claims to fake excerpts if nec) and apply this to forum posts somewhere in the process. Hopefully this is all that’s needed given the activity feed just deals with content and shouldn’t care if it has been truncated to an excerpt. Hoping.
Aren’t you in MI?
