@el_terko:

Sorry for not being clear!

What I mean by “deep integration” is calling WordPress into bbPress. You can do this by doing what Necati above you said. Then you can just follow the steps I have listed above.

@Necati:

Thanks for posting that for everyone! My instructions weren’t the clearest!

[EDIT]

I decided to post the full code again for clarity’s sake.

On line 2 in bb-config.php (located in your bbPress forum install), add this:

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-blog-header.php');

Now, add this to your bbPress theme’s functions.php (if you do not have a functions.php file in your bbPress theme folder, create one!)

function recreate_bb_admin_bar() {

echo '<div id="wp-admin-bar">';

bp_adminbar_logo();

echo '<ul class="main-nav">';

bp_adminbar_login_menu();

bp_adminbar_account_menu();

bp_adminbar_blogs_menu();

bp_adminbar_notifications_menu();

bp_adminbar_authors_menu();

bp_adminbar_random_menu();

echo '</ul></div>';

}

add_action('bb_foot', 'recreate_bb_admin_bar');

add_action('bb_admin_footer', 'recreate_bb_admin_bar');

add_action( 'bb_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );

add_action( 'bb_admin_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );

I also made one last change to the function because it wasn’t XHTML validating before! See if you can spot the change

Hi r-a-y,

What do U mean by keeping “deep integration” ? Do I need to add step #7 of Terryjsmith post, and then do your magic with bbPress theme’s functions.php ?

Are you using a custom theme of some kind? If so, did you copy over the code from bphome/functions.php? If not, do you have any other plugins installed, and can you verify that you have BuddyPress installed 100% correctly?

I was really looking for changes made to bpskeletonmember theme, so I only made two changes to two files (if I remember correctly!)

OK… So what does that mean practically?

Haha! Well, good question.

WPMU is not designed as a user-centric platform. It is blog-centric. BuddyPress puts the focus on the user.

So, my best advice is that you will have to do as Mike Pratt suggests and then code a custom function to extract the new firstname and lastname data from an xprofile table as you see fit, or just output that data in your theme files.

As far as registration, have you looked at Mike’s site (http://buglenotes.com/register) to see what he does? If that is what you want, you should PM him and get more advice.

Hey DJPaul,

I have the same issue and I was able to isolate it to the Welcome Pack plugin (the errors disappear if I deactivate it). Mine is not a fresh install and I don’t think the errors were present more than a week ago. Since then I moved from BP1.0 to 1.0.2 so it might have something to do with that.

Not that it has to be the fault of the plugin. My theme is mostly default but I have made some minor modifications from tips across this forum.

I will try to trace back to see if I can figure out if one of the modifications is causing a conflict and let you know. I really hope someone figures out a solution as I find the Welcome Pack really useful and do not wish to deactivate it.

Which theme are you using? First guess would be that the theme is missing the div ID that WordPress looks for to redirect it to, but that’s a shot in the dark that I haven’t looked into yet.

Using the default buddypress theme with minor changes…

Launched it just a week ago and already got 2 position in google…

Okay everyone!

Here’s an update to my code for the BP admin bar in bbPress.

Keep the existing recreate_bb_admin_bar() function, but for the last part (the add_action’s) use this:

add_action('bb_foot', 'recreate_bb_admin_bar');

add_action('bb_admin_footer', 'recreate_bb_admin_bar');

add_action( 'bb_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );

add_action( 'bb_admin_head', 'bp_core_admin_bar_css', 1 );

This uses bbPress’ default header and footer hooks instead of WordPress’, so in theory, you could get rid of wp_head and wp_footer in your bbPress theme.

You’ll still need to keep the deep integration code in your bb-config.php though!

Also this code is updated so you can see the BP admin bar in the bbPress admin area. The code before did not work for that!

@Kunal17,

Were there a lot of changes to the member themes?

I’m planning on upgrading to BP 1.0.2 myself and I have a somewhat, customized member theme.

Whenever you have issues with BuddyPress, the best course of action is to distill your setup down to the lowest common denominator. This means switching to the default BP themes (bphome and bpmember) that come with BuddyPress and deactivating all plugins except BP.

What happens then? If you do not have any more issues, then you know it has something to do with your custom theme, one of the plugins, or some combination.

You then start going back up the ladder one step at a time. Switch the default BP themes for your custom themes. Does the problem return? It not, then is has to do with your plugins. Activate one plugin at a time until the issue returns.

Hey – I’m somewhat of a noob with all this but fairly technically adept and have been doing OK. I have installed events via your directions and also uninstalled (deleted with the plugin delete utility) and installed again with the new “browser auto install of zip files” feature. It looks like all functionality is there except for when you go to Events on the pull down menu for the user – you get “Not Found / No Access The page you are looking for either does not exist, or you do not have the permissions to access it.” I’ve been poking through the files and didn’t see any in the mu-plugins directory but when I added the files as instructed, I got that big gnarly “cannot redeclare events” error message that was a few posts back..This is a killer plugin that I’m excited about..can you help? My environment is latest versions of wpmu and buddypress as installed in the last few days. I’m running a test environment with the “buddydress” theme that incorporates the same look and feel for wp and bp..thanks in advance for your help.

Thomas

Are you using custom themes or the default BP themes? If using custom themes, try switching to the default themes and see if the widget works.

I guess the easiest way to do this, would be to edit the userbar.php file in your active member theme, and replace everything between…

<?php else : ?>

and…

<?php endif ?>

Remember that commenting out the HTML doesn’t stop the PHP from getting processed, so all of the “_e”‘s are getting echo’ed even though you commented out the HTML.

Switch to the default BuddyPress themes and deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress. Try the registration process again. If it works, switch to the FaceBuddy theme. Try registration again. If it is still working, activate one of the plugins, etcetera.

You must distill your BP environment down to the lowest common denominator–default themes, no plugins except BudddyPress activated–and see if everything works with that set up. If so, you then add one thing back at a time (first your custom theme, then one plugin at a time) until the problem occurs again.

Let us know what you discover.

Kunal17-

What I meant was you start at that changeset (r1468) and go through all of the changesets up to the current one (r1593). Although, you should be okay only going up to r1577. So, that is at least 109 changesets you have to search through. To navigate through the changesets, look near the upper right-hand cornor. You’ll see these links:

<- Previous Change | Next Change ->

Look for any changes to the theme files. I do not know how many of the revisions deal with themes.

@Kunal17

Another question: Are there any upgrades to the default member & home themes from 1.0 to 1.0.2?

Yes. There have been an number of changes and improvements. You have two choices:

1. Make a copy of the v1.0.2 default themes and modify those copies to match your current theme customizations
2. Or, go through the changesets in trac starting here and look for any theme changes and then make those in your current themes
