    Hi Nico,

    No, not a system to deliver \”stars\” or \”awards\”. A \”simple\” vote office, a place where i could publish one or more questions to the community or a specified group. For exemple, as admin of the group X, i want to know if my members need a collective blog or a meeting place or anything else. Instead asking each one by wire or message, i would ask this very publicly, on profile or on my admin menu or both…

    Anyone can give his opinion and everybody can see who agrees or not.

    At the end, a final note gives the tendancy or the majority.

    So i could then decide if i give a blog to group X or not and nobody could says after, he wasn\’t warned or informed. And also, majority speaks, not only the keymaster.

    In fact, something near a poll tool but more advanced and very public, with username near the response.

    Make this sense in a \”social network\” ?

    Hey, I have a few questions regarding forums…

    1) I am wondering if I am doing something wrong because I can only delete forum group topics within bbpress. Which means that all group admins would have to head over to the forums in order to moderate forum posts.

    2) When deleting forum replies everything works fine but when deleting forum topics I get an error message but the topic gets deleted. How can I get rid of this error message?

    it says: “Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/web1/web/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-topics.php on line 255

    1″

    See screenshot: http://i42.tinypic.com/2gugtns.png

    3) During the bbpress installation I received a “minor” error and I didn’t know what actually went wrong or how to resolve that minor error.

    It says…

    DB Error in BB_Install::process_form_finalise_installation: Table ‘web2_db2.wp_options’ doesn’t exist

    SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘auth_salt’ LIMIT 1

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/web1/web/forum/bb-includes/backpress/class.bpdb.php:293) in /var/www/web1/web/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php on line 838

    See screenshot: http://i39.tinypic.com/15s5wtw.png

    Thanks for any help

    AFAIK the answer to both questions is no, not at this time. Sorry.

    ….that means having to go over the user’s entire output…. and make a serious of highly-subjective decisions about what is and is not acceptable.

    you’re right Donnacha… good thinking

    @ Nicola

    your workflow looks good to me…

    would the [Report This] link dynamically insert the reported user’s info?

    like:

    – Username being reported

    – username of the person reporting(in case questions need to be asked)

    (if user reporting isn’t signed in, show something else…?)

    – a place for the reporter to describe what’s offensive

    – perhaps checkboxes of where the offensive content is (blog, wire, events, etc)

    That could then be written to a DB table and called back for the admins on the dashboard

    (almost the same as the blog comments feature…. delete user, mark report as spam, warm reporting user, warn reported user)

    that would be pretty cool…

    @timschmi: That sounds really nice! I just have some questions and I would appreciate if you could answer them, if you have the time.

    Will it use a wikifarm installation where the main installation is in /wiki/ and when a new wiki is created it will create an independent wiki in /wiki/examplewiki/ using the wiki-engine in /wiki/ or will it simply create a new group in the main wiki /wiki/?

    Will it use the user authorisation from the wpmu/bp-database or the built in system?

    Will you need someone to test it? (I’m no programmer but i would love to help in anyway i can.)

    Will it be available for download?

    This is a problem with a plugin so support questions should go to wherever you got that from. In general though, there are functions such as is_home is_single etc. If you only want the gallery JS on your homepage, you’ll need to use is_home as a check wherever the plugin includes its JS.

    After asking so many questions for help, it’s time to give a little back. Or, really, make Sam, my Redhaired PHP God give something back. As he’s off to bed, he asked me to post this.

    Sam wants to code any global forum activity to appear in the site wide activity feed and a users activity feed. (This would be /forum activity instead of /group/forum activity.) JohnJamesJacoby mentioned this could happen with changes to the bbpress integration plugin. Sam wanted to a suggestion of where to look to start figuring that out.

    Once he does, assuming it works, he’ll post the information back here or create a plugin to work along side the bbpress integration plugin to make it all work.

    There’s a small function floating around in the forum that should help you:

    function oci_login_redirect($redirect_to, $set_for, $user){
    $redirect_to = bp_core_get_userurl($user->id);
    return $redirect_to;
    }
    add_filter('login_redirect', 'oci_login_redirect', 10, 3);

    Just put that in your mu-plugins/bp-custom.php.

    Credits goes to burtadsit.

    I just solved problem number 1 this week (by calling bluehost- they fixed it for me over the phone in under 10 minutes), but am still having your same problem number two!

    Any help??

    Okay, I have a few issues with Facebook Connect that I’m hoping somebody will have the answer to.

    Question #1:

    Can I place the Facebook Connect login button on a subdomain page without having that user become a subscriber to that subdomain? ie. I’d like to have a button in subdomain.example.com log the facebook user in to example.com, instead of subdomain.example.com.

    I ask this because I have all my BuddyPress widgets running in a subdomain, and I like letting my users sign in via that page, however when I add the Facebook Connect button to it, it adds them as a member to that domain, which causes a whole lot of obvious issues.

    When the FB connect button is only shown on the homepage it works ok…but it presents a completely different issue with the subdomain widgets which I’ll explain in question #2.

    Question #2:

    As I said earlier, I’m displaying the BuddyPress members widget on both the homepage (ie. http://example.com ) and also a subdomain ( http://interact.example.com ). When a user signs up through facebook connect from the homepage, the avatar for that facebook shows up perfectly in the home theme and member page, HOWEVER, if you travel to any other subdomain that is NOT the home theme, the facebook avatar goes to the default monster/wavicon/grayman/gravatar image.

    It seems as though the Facebook Connect Avatar does not function well with virtual domains. You can test this on your own BuddyPress installation by just adding the members widget to any subdomain and you’ll see what I mean.

    Another way to show this is by going to any member’s page who is using FB Connect on testbp.org, and adding a subdomain to it (of course the subdomain you add must actually exist).

    You’ll see that the users facebook image suddenly becomes the default avatar.

    For example:

    This page shows the correct Facebook Avatar:

    http://testbp.org/members/facebookuser18/

    In a virtual subdomain however, it doesn’t work:

    http://test.testbp.org/members/facebookuser18/

    While this example is not really the same issue I’m having (remember, my issue deals with displaying the Facebook avatar on the members WIDGET in a subdomain), it is a good example to show that the Facebook Connect avatar will ONLY work in the directory where the plugin is installed.

    Is there any way to make the Facebook avatar work across ALL subdomains?

    Sorry for the long-winded post, I’ve just been trying to figure these two issues out for the past day and haven’t gotten anywhere. Does anybody have any ideas on either of these questions?

    Thanks so much!

    I’m running into a hurdle I’m hoping some of the more seasoned WPMU/BP people can help me with. If you’ve set up a BP community, this will likely be a simple fix, so please bear with me.

    My problem is that when a new user sets up a blog on my WPMU install, I will have to go into their BP theme and manually set up the widgets in their respective positions so all my users have the same look & feel. This seems kind of crazy to me.

    Now, I’ve seen a few posts here saying the widgets will need to be hand-coded into the default theme in order for the widget setup to be the same for all new blogs created. I’ve typically had no problem doing this for the usual WP themes but am at a total loss with the BP theme.

    My questions:

    1) Is hand-coding these widgets into my default theme my only option? And, if so, does anyone have any guides on doing this for a non-php guy like myself? I’m lost as to where to start.

    2) Are there any plugins out there that will ‘remember’ my widget positions/setup on my default theme and just copy that for each new blog created? This is preferred obviously.

    I’m hoping someone can help me out with this. I would be very thankful. Thank you in advance!

    Well…I hate to ask such seemingly infantile questions, but…

    I have had wp-recaptcha working fine on the buddypress registration page on http://sportsblognet.com/sbn-start.php (WPMU 2.7/BP RC-1)

    now to the questions…

    Did you apply for a wp-recaptcha Key?

    Did you adjust the settings to work on the registration form? (check two boxes in the settings)

    Did you place wp-recaptcha in mu-plugins?

    I have had no problems and it worked “out-of-the-box” no core files needed to be edited.

    I’m assuming you did all of these things, but the hacking of bp-core-signup.php was not necessary for me, so I had to confirm.

    Alright, got xmlrpc all worked out. I was make an assumtion in Trents directions that was not correct. I found this doc and it answered a few questions I had.

    https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/installation-readme.txt (btw – this link should be made much clearer in the BP install docs. Maybe make is a sidebar nav link)

    Still trying to integrate cookies. Anyone got any words of wisdom on that one?

    #39460

    I would recommend installing WPMU in the root directory, and modifying home.php in your buddypress-home theme to best match your existing site while still incorporating most of the typical, familiar BuddyPress links.

    To answer your questions, WPMU gets installed in the root directory, and BuddyPress is installed in the wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory. (Check codex.buddypress.org for install help.)

    The BuddyPress homepage is the home.php file I mentioned above. The files in your root directory are just functionary place holders to help tell WPMU/BuddyPress what content to get from the database and then to tell them which theme files to display that data with.

    I am brand new to buddypress and have only been using wordpress for a couple week so excuse me if there are obvious answers to my questions.

    Is there a way to use a global style sheet in the members and home templates without hard coding the path?

    You have no idea how deep the groove in my forehead is from the number of times I’ve slapped it h gone “d’oh!”

    I haven’t coded in 20 years. I’m amazed at the work Andy and Co did getting this thing to work. Tracking all of the function calls, figuring out what talks to what, etc has been very enlightening. I still haven’t figured it all out yet, so I’m sure there are more questions coming.

    And I’m sure that groove in my forehead will deepen.

    Hi all – My apologies as I know there are other threads that contain similar questions as this but I’m having trouble ‘translating’ them if you will as it would appear that English – for good reason – is certainly not the first language of the posters in the threads related to translation/localization so I was hoping that I could get a concise/clear answer if I created a separate thread.

    Specifically, all I want to do is the mass update the term ‘friend'(and variations thereof) throughout the entire install to ‘contact’. I’ve found the .po file and I’ve edited it directly, saved it with a corresponding .mo file using poedit, dropped it back into place all to no avail. Can someone provide a step by step on how to accomplish what would seem to be a simple/common need? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

    Thanks for your reply, i got a couple questions about it:

    What’s the “gd image library”? how do i link it “into php 5.x”?

    I’m not completely sure about apache creation rights but i think i have them; please, tell me how to find out…

    I’ve set the permitions 775, and the problem persists.

    Thanks! i hope you answer my questions…

    BTW: I’m still in Beta 2. Will RC 1 solve the problem? Was the member theme modified in this new version?

    Thanks!!!

    Hi all-

    I’ve tried to reserve this forum as an absolute last resort, but I’ve gone through the bbPress install from scratch 4 or 5 times now. I’ve been following Jimgroom’s instructions HERE as well as Trent’s sticky post HERE. This last time, I have FINALLY managed to get bbPress/WPMu basic integration to work (I had a lot of problems with cookies), so now I’m hesitant to wipe the slate clean again.

    The first time I went through all of this, I couldn’t get cookie integration to work, but it DID seem like bbPress was communicating with BuddyPress because when I disabled/reenabled discussions, the forum appeared on the bbPress side, but only about half the time did the posts I made appear on the BuddyPress side. And when I tried to make a new post/reply, I got the “There was an error making that post” message.

    Now I have cookie integration working, but I can’t get any kind of BuddyPress integration to work and I’ve checked, rechecked, redone, restarted more times than I could possibly document.

    I had a couple questions about the procedure though that might lead to what I’m doing wrong. First, Jimgroom says to delete your auth keys and let WP redo them, but he says you won’t get them all. Well I did get them all, and pasted them all into both wp-config.php and bb-config.php. However, the auth_salt and logged_in_salt keys were DIFFERENT than the ones I would get if I went into /wp-admin/options.php. Which are right?

    Also, Trent says in step 6 to go into the groups admin page. I assume he means the bbPress Forums admin page?

    Finally, I found the installation-readme.txt file in bp-forums, and it says to not check the cookie integration box at all when installing bbPress. It’s taken me long enough to get that to work in the first place. Could that be my problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated, and feel free to ask any other questions.

    -Chad

    PS- With my first post, let me also express my gratitude toward Andy and everyone else helping to develop BuddyPress. I seem to have entered the WP world at just the right time, and I’m very excited about all the possibilities. Thank you!

    No problem; I should have been more clear with my question anyway. I don’t have all that much experience with open source, but I can certainly understand being defensive about software that you’re very involved in.

    For the record, this is the first time I’ve actually participated in development forums for any software I’ve developed for. Most of the time I just lurk and hope my questions get asked by someone else. It speaks very highly of BP that installing it spurred me to actually make an account here and start posting questions and whatnot.

    You are asking in a support forum why design decisions were made and why, considering the evolutionary nature of software, bp ended up as it did. As an end user of bp I have absolutely no idea how to answer either of those questions.

    The real answer is that things don’t have to be like they are if you don’t want them to be. Come up with an enhancement and share it with us. That’s the beauty of open source under a GPL license.

    Content discovery is a filtering mechanism that narrows down the view for the user to what they want to see. Content should have top level organization of what?

    Content types:

    Website/Blog url

    Blog post

    Forum topic

    Image

    Wire post

    Anything with an url

    User interface to content. Sorting and filtering:

    By date: most recent, date range, ascending, descending

    By tag(s): and/or/not

    By content author

    By user who created the tag

    By type: blog post, site url, forum topic …

    Content display options:

    List

    Grid

    Titles only

    Title and excerpt

    When the user browses the content should they be able to add/remove tags for each item? Like bbpress? Only group staff can maintain tags?

    Questions, questions.

    I’m seeing quite a few questions about this popping up lately. I’m no fan of an abundance of stickies but perhaps this one deserves a spot in the limelight?

    Or should we trey and start some sort of FAQ thread (and, in the process, figure out a way to stop it from becoming completely unwieldy)?

    sitewide activity table is just cache of all the activity for every user. It would crash your server if it wasn’t a cache. Every user has a table where their activity is not cached, you’d be better off using that.

    I’m not sure exactly where you are trying to use the $activity object? The activity tables have to be generic, so that they can be used for anything, adding specific fields wouldn’t work. You need to check out the format_activity function in each component, that is where you would want to replace the output with the excerpt.

    Your best bet is to download the skeleton component, as that explains how things work:
