BuddyPress.org

@r-a-y I think I just created a new administrator account and then deleted the old admin account but honestly it has been awhile so I could be wrong.

@r-a-y That worked but now there is a new problem. When a user tries to send a PM but leaves the subject blank they get a generic error that says “There was an error sending that message, please try again”. Is there anyway to either a) just make the subject of blank messages “no subject” or b) specify in the error message that a subject has to be entered before they can send?

Hi @r-a-y I checked my database and “admin” IS the nicename. If I change that in my db will that fix the problem?

Just on the admin account, yes. I re-opened the ticket thanks.

More info: for some reason it returns my username as “admin” even though I deleted the “admin” user a long time ago. My profile page even uses “admin” in the URL: http://piphut.com/members/admin

However I user @r-a-y ‘s username only plugin and it shows up correctly as “piphut” in my blog comments.

So the problem appears to be in is passing the wrong username in the r= string when people try to private message me, and therefor the ‘send to’ is not being populated correctly, though it was working correctly before the upgrade to 1.2.4

Thoughts? Quick fixes? Free fish?

And for the users of BuddyPress version 1.2.4:
I have also tested it with 1.2.4 and it’s still working great.

YEZZ, it works again. Thanks for your help again!
The only things what are needed:

In the root of BuddyPress (version 1.2.3):
In bp-blogs.php, change rule 379 of
if ( (int)get_blog_option( $blog_id, ‘blog_public’ ) || !bp_core_is_multisite() ) {
IN:
if (get_blog_option( $blog_id, ‘blog_public’ ) > 0 || !bp_core_is_multisite() ) {

and change rule 427 from
if ( (int)get_blog_option( $recorded_comment->blog_id, ‘blog_public’ ) || !bp_core_is_multisite() ) {
IN:
if (get_blog_option( $recorded_comment->blog_id, ‘blog_public’ ) > 0 || !bp_core_is_multisite() ) {

and the MU plugin:
ds_private_blog.php: http://wpmudev.org/project/More-Privacy-Options

With regards Anja(afoka)

the old website of bp.org was much easier to navigate and find information.
at least for myself…..

Strange… In both cases if I change the rules (379 and 427), is this the result:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘ in betawordpresswp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-blogs.php on line 379
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘ in betawordpresswp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-blogs.php on line 427

I have also as before changed the rule In buddypress/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-classes.php
if ( !(int)$wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT DISTINCT public FROM {$wpdb->base_prefix}blogs WHERE blog_id = %d”, $blog_id ) ) )
in
if ( $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT DISTINCT public FROM {$wpdb->base_prefix}blogs WHERE blog_id = %d”, $blog_id ) ) < 1 )

@Boone Gorges, well I do have the same problem in BuddyPress 1.2.3 . I can find the rule in /bp-blogs/bp-blogs-classes, but……
the file bp-activity (in the root of BuddyPress) changed so much, that i don’t know where to find the rules like you’ve discribed.
Will you help me again? Or maybe you know if there is a plugin for it?

With regards Anja (afoka)

Thank you so much r-a-y. I appreciate this.

Thank you Rich:
I have used “registered user only” plugin for the site. It works OK. But apparently the member’s activity page still shows in Google cache and I can’t make that disappear even when I delete that user’s profile
