BuddyPress.org

Hi Dave,

I installed 1.3.2 fine but when I try to chat I get an error inside the chat page

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/content/a/t/o/atomiccafe/html/upoubams/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-ajax-chat/bp-chat/chat/lib/class/CustomAJAXChat.php on line 14

Here are the Lines:
10 #error_reporting(E_ALL);
11 #ini_set(‘display_errors’, ‘1’);
12
13 class CustomAJAXChat extends AJAXChat {
14 public $bp_config = array();
15 public $channels = null;
16 public $users = null;
17
18 public $loggedin_user_fullname = null;
19 public $xml_logout_url = null;
20 public $loggedin_user_id = null;
21 public $name_type = null;

I have the latest BuddyPress on a single instance of WordPress 2.9.2

Can you help?

Thanks

What i have to do if i have a fresh wordpress 3.0 and buddypress 1.2.4 installation? i have no backup because i haven’t used it.

@eborg9 (“I’m not going to insult the decision to code it that way…”) I have argued your point for over a year, more diplomatically at first, with zero effect. The developer community here doesn’t care about this issue. In my comment I simply gave the reasoning I got from Andy (Automattic). Anonymous usernames rule in the WordPress world. Don’t hold your breath for it to change anytime soon. You’ll have to custom code around it.

@r-a-y (“There are no conspiracy theories involved.”) I think my ugly hacked solutions were deleted because they used a deprecated hook and parts of it were supposedly fixed in 1.2+ according to one moderator. Don’t remember the details.

Are you using WordPress 3-beta. Because only wordpress 3 allows custom post_types. But anyway, this helped me, hope it helps you…

Custom post types in WordPress

I believe the following ticket may have something to do with these issues:

Awesone plugin. I just paid ye.

buddypress does what you are wanting with both blogs and social, it works for me with the WPMU version of wordpress. From what I understand some people have it working with the new wordpress 3.0 series that is in kind of a testing phase at this tine. I am not sure if any blog themes have come that match the current default buddypress theme exactly – but it wouldn’t be hard to sculpt a WP theme like painter or constructor to be very close in most details.

But what you are asking, is exactly what buddypress does. I would go back over all the of the installation instructions, and recheck all the steps and settings. If you are trying to use regular wordpress, and not wordpress mu – that may be an issue – haven’t tried that yet. Maybe there is another setting that is not in the instructions for that?

@dancole

It depends on your definition of “near future”. Since all authentication is handled by WordPress, not BuddyPress, this project is truly a WordPress-specific feature. We are forming a group to work on this issue and also discuss the possibilities of implementing Semantic Web and / or Open Stack protocols in BuddyPress.

But, this will not be a core WP feature–at least not in the near term. I imagine that we will let the WP 3.0 series work out any new issues once that series is released. So, sometime around the WP 3.1 or 3.2 public release might be a reasonable target for releasing a WebID plugin for WP.

Do you have any specific interest and / or experience with WebIDs?

@jeffsayre

How likely is it that you or any of the other developers you’ve been talking with would make a plugin that adds WebID to WordPress in the near future?

@Tapaninaho:

Check out Peter Anselmo’s Group Documents plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/

Peter does great work, and this plugin might get you very, very close to what you need. It provides a document repository for groups, allows uploaded files to be categorized and provides a backend management tool to determine allowable file types – among other features.

Profile works for me:

Using the BP Template Pack plugin is not plug-n-play! What you need to do is alter the CSS of your theme to make BP better fit the design of your site.
