In reply to: BuddyPress Competition is heating up
Enrico
Participant@hnla I don’t have much experience with BP on the tech side (i.e. hacking core files…at least I’m able to customize BP template to use with wp theme). For now core features of BP and a bunch of stable plugins are enough to start with. So far I’m only missing a photos plugin but I’ll wait the new release of album+
The fact is that if I’d use jomsocial+joomla again, I’d have to spend more money on components and jomsocial’s 3rd party plugins. Most of WP 3rd party plugins are free ones, compared to joomla’s ones.

ParticipantPaul,
Thank you so much for your insight! Here’s what I’ve got now:
1. I’m pretty sure we’re using the single site version of WordPress(maybe this is known as the MU version?). It was installed through our server using SimpleScripts. I was aware of the plugin option, but didn’t want to get into that yet until I had the account creation issues taken care of. Thanks for the info.
2. Disabled the BuddyPress plugin, as well as the Group Documents plugin (and reverted to the default non-BuddyPress theme). Created an account, and got the confirmation email right away. The WP account registration was just “username”, and “email”… and WP emails the password. The BuddyPress registration required much more info. So without BP turned on.. Accounts worked.. with it turned on.. The account gets created, but no activation email gets sent out.. thoughts?
3. I’m referring to the WordPress setting: Site Address (url): “Enter the address here if you want your site homepage to be different from the directory you installed WordPress.” I’m trying to point the domain to sdcityrobotics.saltbored.com , and it will display as http://www.sdcrobotics.org (our domain).
4. Got it. I was just curious as to if there were some settings I was just totally missing.
BlueHost Issues !?!?
1. Ok don’t use SimpleScripts or WordPress.. Just install WP manually on my server, and then install the BuddyPress plugin manually? And that will get it to work?
2. I’ll definitely search around for BH. Thanks for the tip!September 27, 2010 at 3:18 pm #93545In reply to: Stylizing the navigation bar

ParticipantI’m not really sure what you are asking:
Do you want to allow all blogs to have their own choice of theme, but ensure that they use the same font for the admin bar?
That’s not really possible, because you don’t have any control over the CSS files in the sub site themes – if they define their own CSS settings for the admin bar / standard fonts / etc., they are the ones that will be applied in their site.
If you want that degree of control, you probably need to create a small set of bespoke themes that they can choose from, ensuring you have set the admin bar settings as you want them in each of those themes.

KeymasterAh, Bluehost

1. If you are running the multisite version of WordPress, on the super admin’s options there is a setting for default profile. Alternatively, there are lots of plugins that control this sort of setting on. I use a couple of role management plugins on a few sites but I’m not sure what’s best. Hopefully someone can recommend one.
2. If you disable BuddyPress, and register an account on the site (via WordPress), do you receive the email? If you don’t, it is either ending up in your email’s spam or your server is not configured to send emails correctly. However, since you’re on Bluehost, have a look at the bottom of this message first.
3. That site URL setting should match the URL of your site. I’m not sure what you mean by “pointed url”, but you should probably only change it if you have moved the site from one_domain.com to another_domain.com.
4. Depends on definition of “easy”; they are in the theme’s header.php.
Bluehost: We have seen issues with Bluehost previously. I do not know if all the issues still apply, but in general:
1) I suggest that you do not use simplescripts to install (or even WordPress).
2) RE: your email problem. I suggest you search this site for “Bluehost” as we have had lots of discussion around it previously but, from memory, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/ might fix the problem (it has to be a valid email account, so you may need to create it first).September 27, 2010 at 5:02 am #93503In reply to: Trouble creating a new user

Maciej Skrzetuski
ParticipantYes, /httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress and all the *.php files exist.
I use the default buddypress theme. I don’t use any plugins besides buddypress. My httpdocs is chmod 777 for installation. BP has written the following into .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]# END WordPress
bb-config.php has the same config for database as wp-config.php.
I have following tables in my db.

September 26, 2010 at 12:27 pm #93464In reply to: BuddyPress 1.2.5.2 with WP 3.0.1 = No Forums?
Hugo Ashmore
ParticipantI think most of us read the forums as a main listing, one group doesn’t necessarily get more interest than another.
It sounds as though all should be working so it’s hard to think what you should try now.
You are using the default BP theme? If not please do so for the purposes of testing, also disable any plugins you might also be running, except, of course, for BP itself.
You say that the .htaccess file is in place but can you actually confirm that it’s writable by the server when you update/change the permalink structure. Can you check that the DB tables are being created? Does your bb-config.php have the correct DB connection values?

MemberHi Paul,
I disabled every plugin other than BuddyPress – the avatar crop still doesn’t work in IE8. Then, with only BuddyPress plugin, I switched to the default theme. It still doesn’t work.
Please help soon.
Thank you,
JdawnSeptember 26, 2010 at 10:20 am #93448Paul Wong-Gibbs
KeymasterThanks for using Welcome Pack

You’ve got a lot of plugins loading a lot of javascript. I can’t pinpoint which one is causing trouble because there’s too much for me to look through, so you will need to disable all of your plugins — except BuddyPress — and then test it in IE8. I imagine group avatar cropping would be affected the same way as user profile cropping is.
If disabling everything other than BuddyPress fixes the problem, re-enable the plugins one at a time until it breaks; you’ve then found the conflict and we can then try to figure out how to fix it.
If, however, you disable all plugins other than BuddyPress, and the problem is still there, try also switching back to the BP-Default theme.

ParticipantSeptember 26, 2010 at 7:58 am #93440In reply to: Child themes don’t auto-replace “adminbar.css”
Hugo Ashmore
ParticipantNo style.css which @imports the required stylesheets uses hardcoded relative paths to locate the imported styesheets. Copy adminbar.css to your child structure if you want to edit some of it, if you revert to the default theme at any time then the original style.css will be in effect and call the other original stylesheets.
September 26, 2010 at 7:51 am #93439In reply to: Display recent group blog posts on home page?
Roger Coathup
ParticipantTo show blog activity you’d typically customise your home page template to include a customised activity loop that just shows blog posts.
Check under Docs… Custom buddypress loops on ths site for details on how to do that.
There might also be off the shelf widgets that will work for you, but you will need to have a widgetised home page theme

JdawnSeptember 25, 2010 at 7:45 pm #93404In reply to: How To Show “Status Updates” In The Frontpage?
Roger Coathup
ParticipantIf you want the activity stream as your front page – go to wp-admin … settings … reading … front page displays
If you just want a small area to show updates, try a widgetised theme, and add the sitewide activity widget
If you want something more bespoke, i.e. just status updates… you will have to write your own custom activity loop – check docs on this site for information on this. Make sure you do this in a new or child theme.

ParticipantAgh. I can’t understand anybody! I need to learn German now.
Awesome BuddyPress theme though. I hope you use your skills and creativity to create more.September 25, 2010 at 4:46 pm #93382In reply to: It doesn’t work
Roger Coathup
ParticipantTest it with just WordPress installed … BuddyPress de-activated.
Can you change the permalinks to a custom structure e.g. /%category%/%postname%/ and still view pages / categories without problem?
You need WordPress working correctly with permalinks.
If that’s OK, then install / activate BuddyPress, select the BuddyPress default theme, and check everything works.
Once you’ve done this, you can install your language packs, plugins, etc.
September 25, 2010 at 3:19 pm #93378Richard Dalton
ParticipantIt is the default with no child theme. No changes made in CSS, admin bar, java, just the auto install. The admin bar is there and drops down but when clicked on avatar – doesn’t do anything. I am able to load avatars when people sign up. It’s just the admin bar that concerns me now.

paul – no im not running any translate plugns
ray – my theme (randy candy) doesnt seem to have a functions.php file in its theme folder – does it grab a default functions.php if so can i apply that code to that one?
September 24, 2010 at 11:10 pm #93347Roger Coathup
Participant@fatherdalton – there is no admin bar visible on your site.
If you want help on this – you’ll need to provide more information – can you confirm what theme you are using (it looks like the default, have you built a child theme?), any changes you’ve made to the admin bar, CSS, javascript, etc.
Someone may be able to assist then.
September 24, 2010 at 9:36 pm #93340dwdutch
ParticipantThanks, I’ll use that as my default strategy but i was trying to be creative so that future upgrades wouldn’t require me to have to refresh the file. I tried doing the following:
function postSignup_msg() {
echo “blah, blah, blah”;
echo “more blah, blah, blah”;
}
add_action( ‘bp_complete_signup’, ‘postSignup_msg’, 2 );To my surprise, a simple “echo” command doesn’t play nice with outputting information while maintaining the theme formatting and, frankly, i don’t know another way to output the info so that it will better align. any suggestions?

Participantnext try
Too much confusion here…..
No I found this:
http://example.com/members/stilalbum/groups/ <—-no create link
http://example.com/groups/ <—there is a create linkI dont think that this behavior is logical.
So, how do i get the link into http://example.com/members/stilalbum/groups/?
Solution:
open wp-content/themes/premiumnews/groups/index.php
Search for:
`<a class="button" href="”>
`
copy it (or copy it from here
)now open
wp-content/themes/premiumnews/members/single/groups.php
and paste the code wherever you need it
I removed the `` tag and the “ and put the code after “
Now everything is fine and logical.
Happy weekend, happy group-creation!
September 24, 2010 at 9:21 pm #93336Boone Gorges
KeymasterThe easiest thing to do is to copy registration/register.php from bp-default into your child theme. Search for the place where Sign Up Complete! appears, and put your additional paragraph after that.
