ParticipantWhich version of BuddyPress are you using?

ParticipantOkay thanks jeff for the help, let me try to answer your questions as precisely as you have laid them out.
first off, I have pre-existing avatars in my blogs.dir, these avatars load fine, the thumbnails and everything else is there. Ive tried just using an empty blogs.dir and it still didnt work. I hit “change avatar” upload and get that error message.
My permissions for the entire blogs.dir are set to 777 so I think that would clear up any permission issues.
Im trying to use various formats for testing so far a png that was 800k and a jpg about the same, I have my limit set to 2500k
I have read lance’s post but unfortunately none of the methods helped.
I am using a customized theme, when I upgraded to the BP trunk as per andys instructions I copied only the functions and header files over for both my home and members theme. Everything is working properly. The BP_core and all plugin files were placed in the plugins/buddypress directory and are functioning fine.
as far as version of PHP, do you mean myadmin client or actual code, which is whatever its written in to begin with, Ive done minimal php editing besides a custom loop on the home page, mainly CSS edits.
I did not check and see if there where no files in the blogs.dir because there are files presently there, I will try again with an empy blogs.dir folder
Is there anything in the DB that controlls where the upload script tries to send the file to? because I went from a local setup to a server set up, maybe the upload button is still using the local domain?
I really need to get this working, any help is truly appreciated

ParticipantVito687-
I can not change or create avatars
I assume you mean that you cannot create avatars at all. If that is the case, then you cannot even get the chance to change your avatar. Is this correct?
The error you mentioned in your OP is found in only two places in BP:
- bp_core_avatar.php –> in the function bp_core_avatar_admin
- bp_xprofile_signup.php –> in the function xprofile_validate_signup_fields
So, either you do not have sufficient permissions in the folder where the avatar is first uploaded, or you’re uploading an avatar that is too big. I will guess that it is the first problem based on the error message.
But, let’s be thorough.
You mentioned that you’re running a very recent BP trunk version and WPMU 2.7.1_beta from branch. We’ll assume that everything is correct with your upgrade and that you’ve also read the thread Lance mentioned and tried any applicable suggestions.
Here, then, are some additional or follow-up questions:
- What is the size of the avatar you’re trying to upload?
- What is the avatar’s format?
- Are you using the standard buddypress-member theme or a customized theme?
- What version of GD is installed?
- What version of PHP are you using?
- Have you checked all the folders in blog.dir and made sure that there are indeed no files?
- Have you checked the permissions of each of the subfolders in blog.dir?

KeymasterYou must include the register.php file in your theme if you want it to point to /register/, copy it from the default home theme.

KeymasterBy backend menus for WP, do you mean you want to totally remove access to the wp-admin area?
This has been a common request by others as well, especially if you have blogs turned off and are trying to hide it completely for subscribers.
If you’re saying that each member still has a blog, but you want them to be able to create new blog posts and manage their blogs through the buddypress interface, that still is not a possibility, and would require an additional plugin (in my opinion) that does not yet (and may never) exist with BP…
It is possible to setup default widgets for blogs, it’s a little tricky though. Also, in order to setup a default member blog, I’ve found the best way to do that is to only give them one option and only have one theme turned on the Site-Admin->Themes area. There may be a way to force a default theme, but I’ve never attempted it yet.

ParticipantI think I found out what caused the problem. I had to comment out one line in the functions.php:
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_show_home_blog’, 2 );
Now it seems to work without the link in the theme.
I am not a programmer – I fI did something stupid, just tell me

Thanks for all…!

ParticipantYou can pick and choose which bp components to install. If all you want is Friends and XProfile then only install those. You do not have to use the bp home theme at all. It’s optional. You can use whatever wp themes you like on your blogs.
The member theme is not optional however. That’s what gives your users access to the profiles and friend functionality.

ParticipantLOL!
Wow, yes, I sure would be mega-thrilled if the theme from that JPG were released. Frankly, I don’t even want to launch my BuddyPress community without some kind of cohesive theme where blog owners don’t have to do any configuration.
Is there anything similar or functional available now? Also, were my procedural posts just goofy, or could some of my suggestions work with minimal effort?

KeymasterIt’s neither actually anymore.
It involves “deep integration” on the bbPress side, including WordPress/BuddyPress inside bbPress, and then making a new theme for bbPress that matches.

Trent and I are working on a comprehensive walk-through on how to do this soon.

ModeratorThe structure is better but not perfect. The home theme and the member theme should be from the same folder. Seems like the member theme should just work like extra pages on the main blog 1. This would make themeing easier. I think most people will want the same design for front pages (blog 1) as the member pages so to separate the two is odd.

ParticipantIf you want it in the comments, you must insert in comments.php.
If you want for the author’s article you must insert in single.php. For pages in page.php

ParticipantI am on RC1.. I had Send Invites plugin installed, it messed up the whole thing (i.e. it automatically disabled the JS for some reason), so I deleted the plugin file and folder.
I had installed WP Super Cache too, it did not work well, so I had to take it off too..
Other than that, no MU plugins…
Here is the list of plugins I have installed for a single blog:
Akismet
All in One SEO Pack
Global Translator
Google XML Sitemaps
SexyBookmarks
Smart Youtube
Smilies Themer
Twitter for WordPress
Twitter for WordPress
WordPress 2.6+ and bbPress 0.9 cookie integration
WP Custom Login Logo
I disabled all the plugins but still the issue remains.
In my previous reply, I had disabled registration just to cross verify.. but still the new tables are getting created..
I traced the user from the User ID mentioned in the table name.. the user looks like a spammer to me.. but now sure what the user is trying to do as those created tables have 0 records…

The changes you refer to were intended to make creating member themes easier. I doubt that the format will change much anymore.

ParticipantHow did you create that page: http://delsolownersclub.com/discussions
That’s exactly what I want to do on my site.
I’ve got @Burtadsit’s bbGroup plugin up and running.
How did you integrate it into your buddypress theme?
Is it a ‘page’ in the root blog or a special page?
Thx, Gordon

ParticipantPeter-
I realize that you are not getting the answers you desire. You must have a sufficient understanding of and comfort level with PHP before you can delve too deeply into hacking your own solutions or coding your own theme templates. Otherwise, you need to use the stock WPMU and BuddyPress install and then customize with any plugins and 3rd-party themes that may be useful.
Since we do not have any idea of your particular coding skills, we are trying to point you in the right direction. Please realize that beyond a certain point, we cannot help you write your own custom code.
We all started at the beginning when it came to coding and then had another learning curve when it came to understanding the inner workings of WordPress and BuddyPress. It can be frustrating along the way but it is indeed possible to accomplish!
Here are a few more tips:
- Since you do seem to be wanting to group all user data within stock WP tables, you should search the WP and WPMU forums and ask your questions there
- Visit these WP Codex pages to help shed more light:
- https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wpdb_Class
- https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference
- Google for tips on learning data-driven PHP coding
- Hire a 3rd-party developer who can do the work: hacking files directly or create a plugin that will accomplish what you’re after
Please hang in there and don’t give up hope.

ParticipantThere were some changes to the header.php file. Off the top of my head, I cannot remember if both the buddypress-home and buddypress-member themes had changes. Or, if only one of them had changes.
Either way, the best thing to do is open your header.php file and compare it to the new header.php file of the respective BuddyPress theme.
If I have the Blog-Menu in my theme – the bp_home_slug doest point to the right page (the home-blog) but to an article in another blog…
It should be BP_HOME_BLOG_SLUG, not BP_HOME_SLUG.

Trent Adams
ParticipantSVN aka Subversion is a program that is installed on your host so that you can install programs that have their code repositories online easily. Any program (terminal on mac, putty on windows) can connect to your server through SSH. I don\’t know of anyway of installing SVN versions without SSH.
For example, if you have an install like /var/www/html/ for an install, and wanted WPMU as the root domain in that folder, you would do something like the following:
svn co http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7/ /var/www/html/then if you wanted to install buddypress from SVN into your WPMU install:
svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/ /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/That just installs everything in the /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/ folder like the latest SVN requires. It doesn\’t mean you are finished. You still have to read the README file about the specifics, especially copying the themes to the correct locations. Reason I say this is because at this point, it would be like having all files including the buddypress themes in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/ which obviously isn’t complete. Imagine at this point you downloaded BP and just uploaded the entire thing to that location. It is a matter of copying around the themes to where they are supposed to be.

thsi is the code from my custom theme file. And here the Css, maybe there is a better solution, but it works:
´
.group-box{margin:15px auto 10px -30px;height:80px;width:800px;background: url(../images/group_list_item.jpg);
padding:10px 20px 25px 15px;list-style:none;text-align:justify }
.left{float:left;width:65px;height:82px;font-size:9px;color:#686868;line-height:11px;text-align:right}
.group-avatar img{border:1px solid #686868;height:60px;width:60px}
.right{float:left;height:82px;margin-left:5px;width:725px}
ul#letter-list li {float: left;height:25px; width:27px;margin-right:5px}
.group-top{height:20px;}
.group-link{text-decoration:none;font-size:16px;color: #ff7f00;float:left}
.group-link:hover{text-decoration:underline}
.excerpt{color:#1a1a1a;font-size:12px;}
.activity{font-size:11px;color:#686868; font-style:italic;display:block;margin:0;padding:0}
.leave_group, .join_group{float:right;display:block;padding:4px 0 0 24px;margin:0;font-size:10px;text-decoration:none;
color:#bd2100;height:21px;width:96px;background: url(../../bp-groups/images/leave_group.png);font-weight:bold}
.leave_group:hover, .join_group:hover{text-decoration:underline}
.join_group{color:green}
#group-dir-count{margin:0 0 5px 2px;font-size:12px;color:#686868}
´
Can you still tell me, how I get the recent activities that happened on the page?
I tried to call the function, but all I got, was the time.
Thanks
