BuddyPress.org

Hi,

Thanks for this plugin.

It seems to work very good on my site, exept for the homepage. Maybe I missed something but the title of my homepage is “Blog”. I’ve checked WordPress options (site name, and site title, it’s not “Blog”) and I don’t find homepage option in BuddyPress SEO.

Any idea ?

Excuse my english.

Cordialement,

Guillaume Coulon.

And I am waiting for Boone to write a plugin that will build my BP community, fill it with thousands of members that will click on hundreds of ads which in turn will make me billonaire.

Sorry for the OT, but I really think Boone can do it…

UPDATE: getting back on topic, wpmu.org will start building a Ning Migration Tool: http://wpmu.org/ning-to-buddypress-wordpress-migration-plugin/

Will it be free or not ? Place your bets !

i had a similar issue, this is how i fixed it.

htaccess on root directory:

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

permalink structure:

/index.php/%postname%/

then i had to make sure that apache has the mod_rewrite module enabled.

running wordpress 2.9.2, apache 2.2.11 and php 5

FYI, Buddypress Ajax Chat updated their plugin on April 11th. I think they may have fixed their issue so you might want to update the list if they have.

if this helps anyone but my quick start for markitup (just the group forum areas for now – something funky with the activity entry textarea)

http://etivite.com/groups/buddypress/forum/topic/quick-tip-adding-markitup-to-group-forum-textareas/#topic

markitup will handle html or bbcode (enable the shortfilter and use this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/boingball-bbcode/) – and you can fake the WYSIWYG part by using the preview option

It’s just a start, but after I heard the news about Ning I wrote a plugin that will import users from Ning to WordPress: http://teleogistic.net/2010/04/importing-ning-users-into-wp/.

Sadly Ning doesn’t offer easy export of the rest of the content. But I think some folks out there are working on ways for you to get your forums, discussions, blog posts, etc out of there as well.

@Robert

the avatar issue seems to come form an incorrect value for the upload_path option in wp_options for the main blog. Make sure it is set to: wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files

Once I updated the option manually in the database, everything worked fine. Also if you have an old .htaccess file from WPMU, it needs to change to use the new ms-files.php in the rewrite rules:

RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]

@Andy Peatling

I’m using WP3.0 beta-1 and BP 1.3-bleeding and things seem to work OK for the most part except the Blogs area is a bit shaky. I don’t get the My Blogs admin bar menu item.

So the recommendation is to use BP 1.2.3? Hm, how do I downgrade? Can I just disable BP, reinstall 1.2.3 and then reactivate it?

Out of curiosity i’m wondering if anyone has tested this out yet, how well does the WordPress Search Function work with BPAlbum+ is there anyway to allow people to search through images where if they type in a tag name that image will show up?

You need to create a new WordPress page before this will work. Create a wordpress page, then the option will appear.

ola !

i would read this:

I’ve been using the alpha’s for 2 months and its been great so far. using sub-folders and actually running bp off of a sub-blog and not the main blog. few bugs..but overall great.

Have you guys tested the fresh installation?

Im about to test this scenario:

1) WP 2.9.x

2) BP install (current state)

3) Upgrade WP to WP3.0b

4) Go to multisite network

5) Refresh BP

Does anybody some strong recomendation (like DONT DO IT ?

for me it works too

The upcoming 1.2.4 release will be tested/fixed to work with WordPress 3.0. Current version is not guaranteed to work.

Found this plugin which says it works under WPMU: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/display-widgets/

Haven’t tested it under BP though…

@snails07

I’ve been looking for something like this too…from what I can tell in these forums, nothing exists that will work. The plugin is this one https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-member-filter/

But, it doesn’t work with current MU or BP versions.

In theory, this could enable search menus for members by any profile fields…location, profession, hobbies, etc.

The Rate Forum Posts Plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-rate-forum-posts/ does something like this. You would need to tweak it a bit to aggregate the three tiers you are looking for, but it’s a start.

You could use the Custom Profile Filters for Buddypress plugin. I know it’s not exactly what you are looking for, but it would enable you let your users identify themselves in one of your 5 categories, then that word they have selected will become a link that will take them to a page will all of the other users who also selected that category.

Perhaps this plugin will give you the building blocks you need to create the solution you need.

I believe you’ll need to edit the different template pages to have the ads display… I could be wrong on that though. It’s been a while since I’ve played around with it. It may now just require moving some widgets around.
