BuddyPress.org

Sounds like you’re using a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache.
If you have it enabled, disable it.

Right now, there are a few issues with using object caching plugins.

Stay tuned to the following ticket for updates:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2636

Post in plugin’s forums https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-private-community/forum/

Update: I read the bp-core.php file and created a file called bp-custom.php and put this in my /plugins folder as instructed with the username_compatibility code as instructed above and it’s still not working for me. That doesn’t seem to have done anything and neither is editing the wp-config.php.

I’ve made 4 test users and autofill doesn’t find anything.

It’s possible, but the plugin would have to create its own tables to store the data. The Group Documents plugin that Dennis mentioned does something similar codewise and can be used as a jumping off point.

It would be better if BP had a dedicated meta table for PMs like the activity component. Then you could easily add this time of information without creating a separate table. I created a ticket here about this:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3083

Hello all – I ran into this issue as well, and tried using the code fix in my wp-config.php file but it’s not working. Also I cannot find bp-custom.php anywhere in /plugins/buddypress – was it moved or renamed? Do I still need to add it there?

However, even with the wp-config.php custom setting in place I cannot even auto-fill messages to test users without dots in their names. Oddly it will autofill the admin’s nickname but that’s it..

Ditto

Hello iwazaru,

you have to past the code in the: bp-messages-cssjs.php

try this code:

<?php

function messages_add_autocomplete_js() {
global $bp;

// Include the autocomplete JS for composing a message.
if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->messages->slug && ‘compose’ == $bp->current_action ) {
add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘messages_autocomplete_init_jsblock’ );

wp_enqueue_script( ‘bp-jquery-autocomplete’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-messages/js/autocomplete/jquery.autocomplete.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ) );
wp_enqueue_script( ‘bp-jquery-autocomplete-fb’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-messages/js/autocomplete/jquery.autocompletefb.js’ );
wp_enqueue_script( ‘bp-jquery-bgiframe’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-messages/js/autocomplete/jquery.bgiframe.min.js’ );
wp_enqueue_script( ‘bp-jquery-dimensions’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-messages/js/autocomplete/jquery.dimensions.js’ );
}

}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘messages_add_autocomplete_js’, 2 );

function messages_add_autocomplete_css() {
global $bp;

if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->messages->slug && ‘compose’ == $bp->current_action ) {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘bp-messages-autocomplete’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-messages/css/autocomplete/jquery.autocompletefb.css’ );
wp_print_styles();
}
}
add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘messages_add_autocomplete_css’ );

function messages_autocomplete_init_jsblock() {
global $bp;
?>

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var acfb =
jQuery(“ul.first”).autoCompletefb({urlLookup:’root_domain . ‘/wp-load.php’ ?>’});

jQuery(‘#send_message_form’).submit( function() {
var users = document.getElementById(‘send-to-usernames’).className;
document.getElementById(‘send-to-usernames’).value = String(users);
});
});

<?php
}

i you have installed buddypress via a subdomain.

i have the same problem…

You might start out small. Install BuddyPress and enable just the activity stream; disable everything else. Make sure that the theme css works well with the activity stream. You’ll need to install the BuddyPress template pack. After you are satisfied with the activity stream then change WP install to multi-site. You’ll want to lock it down so that you control creation of blogs – so that you don’t have to deal with splogs. Once you have that working then you can add a few other BP features – private messaging, etc.

I have been looking for PM attachments as well! Would love to have that feature.

There isnt a plugin I know about, but there are a few for group docs and things like that..

BP is CPU and memory-hungry on top of regular WP requirements. Depending on what web host you’re using, if you’re on a shared hosting plan, it may just be dieing due to hard limits on resources. I ran a small BP install (along with other sites) on a Dreamhost shared account for while, but have since moved to a virtual private server, because, well: it’s heavy.

That may or may not be the problem.

@DJPaul spoilsport :p

@vegasparty607 erm yes and that link is to an American educational resource! try looking up a general one and you will find that there are exceptions and differences to the use or not of a comma and ‘and’

Closing topic. This is not the place to argue about grammatical syntax in English language.

If you lot want to argue spelling, or grammar, or punctuation, do it on your own blogs or another discussion forum. Not here.

My only comment will be that I do not view this as an error. This may be a British/American English thing, but I’m certainly not well-informed enough.

I don’t think it should have a second comma in the UK….

No not necessarily – he said once again

Look it up or am I being rude and in fact you’re an English teacher in which case I’ll shut up

Not necessarily. In what version of English do you write? The tendency to add the comma before the word ‘and’ is, as far as I recall, an Americanism; in English English you wouldn’t have the last comma the ‘and’ makes it redundant.
