In reply to: Some questions about BLOG POSTS in BP. Help please
Hugo AshmoreParticipantHmm on WP 3.0 BP 1.2.6 user with own blog , elevated to ‘contributor’ on main blog, at least logged in as Admin and selected user and changed role from ‘no role for user’ to ‘contributor’ yet logging in as this user shows only their blog under My Blogs. Still not convinced I’m not simply overlooking something obvious so will leave for a while and come back to this when thinking clearer

r-a-yKeymasterYou need to have network mode enabled in WP 3.0 to view the “My Blogs” menu.
Do you have this enabled?July 20, 2010 at 7:42 pm #86370In reply to: Some questions about BLOG POSTS in BP. Help please
Hugo AshmoreParticipantNo I get no drop down at all and the top level link ‘My Blog’ is not an active link, checking the DOM shows an empty child UL. It’s an odd one, if you say it works for you on same setup there’s probably something I’ve overlooked and I’ll investigate further.

r-a-yKeymaster@hnla – Just tested this and it works for me… logged in as administrator and set up an existing user as a contributor on a blog. Logged in as the other user, blog shows up under the “My Blogs” menu.
Using same test environment as you.
The thing the “My Blogs” menu doesn’t do is list the role next to the blog, is this what you mean?

Hugo AshmoreParticipant@r-a-y your patch for this issue ticket#2431 was intended to correct the issue of a user elevated to ‘contributor’ or similar supposedly then having links under ‘My-Blogs’ ? The ticket is marked closed/resolved, yet testing on WP 3.0 BP 1.2.5.2 doesn’t produce links for a user with role ‘contributor’ has this issue reared again with WP 3.0 – haven’t time right now to look deeper so didn’t want to reopen the ticket and move to 1.2.6 until sure it is still an issue and why.

July 18, 2010 at 5:57 pm #86094In reply to: Top 5 Reasons Why Buddypress May Fail
John James JacobyKeymaster1. False. We get it everyday in our bug tracker.
2. BuddyPress.org and testbp.org see substantial traffic, and our showcase includes other high traffic BuddyPress powered sites.
3. BuddyPress.org is powered by the trunk version of BuddyPress, and could easily be powered by any 1.2+ version with only modifications to allow it to run on the shared .org space.
4. BuddyPress is operated in a similar fashion as WordPress, and has the complete support of the core contributing team of WordPress. That’s actually a good thing.
5. BuddyPress uses the same license as WordPress does. That’s another good thing.Posts like this, aren’t healthy or helpful to anyone, as they’re not really founded on any past or current actions or activity.
But thanks for the feedback regardless. Feel free to contact me directly if you have questions about why this topic was locked or any of our responses.

July 16, 2010 at 11:17 pm #85950In reply to: Some basic questions….
nickasterParticipantOkay – Thanks! here’s a second question to follow up. I see that buddypress creates some kind of dropdown menu set of options across the top of all pages. What if I dont’ want that at all? I’d rather only have options like that in a sidebar on the bbpress part of my site. I don’t want those drop downs on the blog or anywhere else. Is this possible? Any instructions lying around that describe this? Thanks!
July 16, 2010 at 9:50 pm #85930In reply to: Some basic questions….
r-a-yKeymaster1) Yes, this is possible via this plugin – http://www.justin-klein.com/projects/wp-fb-autoconnect
2) Yup, BP offers profiles with avatar uploading / cropping.
3) By P2P, I believe you mean the activity stream. You can disable that in the admin area.
4) It depends what you mean by “simple forum”. The forums in BuddyPress do not offer a universal backend to administrate topics. Also, an important distinction you need to know is BuddyPress uses a concept known as “groups”. You need to create a group before you can enable a forum. This is similar to way Facebook works with fan pages. If you need a traditional forum (with forum categories, admin interface), stick to your bbPress install.If you just want profiles, you can enable just the profiles component and turn off the rest.
The fundamental difference between BuddyPress and bbPress is this:
-bbPress is a forum
-BuddyPress is a social networking scriptI believe it’s possible to have extended profiles and avatars on your bbPress install as well. There should be a few plugins out there that does the job.
Re: future of bbPress – it’s pretty much confirmed that bbPress will become a WordPress plugin some time late this year (in fact, work has begun!). Standalone bbPress will cease to exist. However, there are plans to provide backwards compatibility to the new plugin via an import script.

techguyParticipant@bostonnorm
I’m creating a website built on top of BuddyPress that could be used for a parents association and at the same time act as a fundraiser for the association as well. I’d love to chat to see what you think of what I’m creating.The secure invites could work also. You could also probably modify a security question plugin to work like this. Usually they ask questions like “What color is grass” or some easy math problem. You could just have the question be, “What’s the code-word?”

cixxyMemberWell solved #1 by doing this
<?php
if ( in_category( array( 11,9,13,12,10,1 ) ) and !is_home() ) {
if ( function_exists(‘yoast_breadcrumb’) ) { yoast_breadcrumb(‘‘,’
‘); }
}

July 16, 2010 at 5:20 am #85858In reply to: New BP Chat plugin for Buddypress
bluebird2ParticipantTwo questions:
1. I need this plugin in Persian. I translated the language files but the problem is that the chat box does not have the option for Persian. Arabic and Hebrew are the only right-to-left languages listed. How can I add Persian to the language list?
2. How one can set up a certain language and theme as default for every user?
July 13, 2010 at 10:08 pm #85485In reply to: default crop avatar selection is not working
Brandon AllenParticipant@intimez thanks for the info. What version of Chrome and Firefox are you using?
I said possible related, because who knows exactly what “can’t crop” means. It could mean they are completely unable to crop, or it could mean that it’s the same issue as you. That’s why it’s always good to give as much detail as possible. I am however inclined to agree with you since you’re having the issue on Chrome and Firefox.
As far as posting images on Trac, you just click the add attachment button. Make sure you fill in the “Description” box when adding an image so people know what they’re about to see.
From your images, it looks like you were uploading a transparent gif or png. Is this correct? If so, which one? If it’s a png file, is it 8-bit, or 24-bit? Would you mind posting, for download/testing, the actual image you used where you got the error. Along with this, do you get the error on every image you try, or was it just that particular image? I know that’s a lot of questions, but they help.

July 8, 2010 at 8:19 am #84725webgyrlMemberHi Ray!
Thanks for your answer. I am thinking many of my troubles are caused by the theme i was using. I have switched to BP default for now.
I am honestly not comfortable working with any sort of script as I am not a developer at all. I was wondering, once I have installed bbPress (which I did), can I uninstall it. I’m not sure it’s even working.
I can’t even post a forum topic whatsoever. I will go to post a topic and enter the info and the entire posting screen disappears and nothing posts. Is this a bug in BP do you think? It’s baffling me.
Thank you for clarifying the auto group join. That’s really handy.
So I guess my main questions is why aren’t posts working? I switched the theme to see if that was the culprit, but it does not seem so. Are there any settings I should check? So far I’m the only member and I am Admin.
Thanks so much!

@mercimeParticipant“Am I crazy to try to build a site on this foundation where I anticipate high levels of users? “
There’s nothing wrong with building a site on WP/BP, it all depends on your server. You could start with shared hosting, but once it gets to a certain number of sub-blogs (around 300 or so) you would need to go multiple DB and upgrade to dedicated hosting.“And, attached to the above, what is the difference between buddypress and buddypress MU?”
There’s only one BuddyPress plugin. And this plugin can be installed in either main site or one of sub-blogs at this time although you can enable multisite mode which is not the same as having several instances of BuddyPress in one installation. Perhaps you mean BuddyPress installed in WPMU, which as noted above works mainly in the main site or subsite.July 4, 2010 at 11:35 pm #84249In reply to: Search returns 404 Error

5887735Inactiverich! @ etiviti Not sure how much help I can be coding it, but I can help supply the text. It would also be nice if it had a sidebar widget where you could click on questions and have the answer displayed in WP’s built in Thickbox. If you really want to get advance, build in a search box for questions.

I’ll place your other question on the agenda.
