BuddyPress.org

Yesterday, with Post Toolbar deactivated, the problem returned. I eventually found that deactivating Front End User, made everything happy again. I reactivated Post Toolbar once more.
This morning I found it wasn’t working once again, so I deactivated Post Toolbar for a moment and then reactivated it. Everything hunky dory once again.

What sort of issue would cause this problem to be intermittent in this way?

Assuming it is a jQuery issue, is this something that can be fixed or is it a case of choosing different plugins?

Many thanks. Looks like it was bbPress Post Toolbar causing the problem. Was preventing PrettyGallery working as well.
Don’t know anything about jQuery so now seems like a good time to learn!

you can go back the the wordpress toolbar by adding
define( ‘BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR’, true ) to your bp-custom.php file – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/

The buddybar is being depreciated, so it’s no longer worth messing around with it to get it perfect (and the wordpress toolbar is alot cooler lookin’)

@MaTaX91 as @dcavins said, the buddybar is being depreciated (when BP 1.6 comes out) so, you should use the toolbar.

The toolbar is alot easier to modify too
Here’s the codex – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_node

@G – looking into the buddypress adminbar stylesheet that bp adds to my site, i believe that that stylesheet has the buddypress specific styles for the ‘toolbar’ (the stuff buddypress adds, such as notifications thus it requires to be in the code (i could be wrong though)

EDIT: You could always remove it if you wanted to – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_deregister_style

Global.js – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_deregister_script

@derek-melo While, their is no front end interface for it (though, i’m sure afew plugins will popup) It’s VERY easy to modify the admin bar/toolbar in the 1.6 trunk of buddypress.

@jack-v I agree, privacy is a required component that needs to come out sooner than later. Afew people ( @cnorris23) have been working on privacy – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3695

If your problem is specific to the Sitewide Forums not working, your best place for support is the bbPress forums at http://www.bbpress.org. They work with BuddyPress’ activity stream.

On the BuddyPress side of things, we’re deprecating the BuddyBar, so there was no point building bbPress 2.0 support into it. In BP 1.6, we’re switching over the the WP Toolbar. And in conjunction with bbPress 2.1, it’ll integrate forums into BuddyPress groups.

No date for BP 1.6 yet, but will hopefully be in beta soon.

For the BuddyBar, check out:
/wp-content/buddypress/bp-core/css/buddybar.dev.css

For the WP Admin Bar / Toolbar, check out:
/wp-content/buddypress/bp-core/css/admin-bar.dev.css

You should make style overrides in your theme’s stylesheet (/wp-content/themes/YOUR-THEME/style.css) and not the files listed above.

@sbaglia BP 1.5.2 was simply a small update to fix a few conflict issues with the two bars. (rather than leaving us stranded with broken sites)

The proper WP 3.3 update for Buddypress is 1.6 or 1.5.something where the features will be integrated.

Yes, because this site and demo site testbp.org are running on BuddyPress trunk.

@hscottda @justin-2-2-2 full integration of BP buddybar with WP adminbar aka Toolbar is set up already in BP trunk version. This may come out sometime BP 1.6 if not sooner.

I get what you mean. Integration of WP adminbar with BP buddybar into new WP Toolbar is already in BP trunk https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk – might come out in BP 1.6 if not earlier.

Yes. We’re moving to full integration with WP Toolbar nee adminbar in BP 1.6 if not earlier.

In fact, BP buddybar and WP adminbar are fully integrated in BP Trunk already https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk

That’s definitely the problem. That error relates to the toolbar, which was first added in WP 3.2.x. Upgrade to 3.3 first!

Hey Boone,

I use (BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR) and am getting MASSIVE avatars in the toolbar when a person hasn’t uploaded an image and the avatar defaults to mystery man. (doesn’t seem to resize properly)

This happens in a not so big way with gravatars too.

Do I put a bug i, or are you guys aware of this?

Great job guys!!!!!, I noticed the toolbar too , but one thing: if we don’t have sufficient permissions to access to the New Post Page and the Comments Moderation Page, would be better if we don’t see those links in the toolbar?

Yeah, noticed our new buddybar/adminbar now called Toolbar

Are you using the BuddyBar? e.g. one that doesn’t look like this site’s toolbar?

I’m now using a Skysa toolbar, which integrates fine with BP, and offers a range of chat options.
