BuddyPress.org

@stwc – Found the defect.

The problem is being caused by two blocks of code inside the BPLinks plugin that do not account for the situation where the BuddyPress administrator disables “friend” capabilities for the site.

When friend capabilities are disabled, calling the friends_check_friendship() function will crash the user thread. We handle this problem in BP Album+ by wrapping all calls to this function in a function_exists(‘friends_check_friendship’) statement, only calling the function if it is enabled.

This is a sneaky, subtle defect that could easily be missed during testing; fortunately, BPLink’s clean, well-documented source code made it easy to isolate and correct the problem.

Here’s a simple patch:

1) In “bp-links-classes.php” at line 650

REPLACE:

if ( $link_owner_user_id && $link_owner_user_id != $bp->loggedin_user->id && friends_check_friendship( $link_owner_user_id, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) ) {

$status_opts[] = self::STATUS_FRIENDS;

}

WITH:

if (function_exists(‘friends_check_friendship’)) {

if ( $link_owner_user_id && $link_owner_user_id != $bp->loggedin_user->id && friends_check_friendship( $link_owner_user_id, $bp->loggedin_user->id ) ) {

$status_opts[] = self::STATUS_FRIENDS;

}

}

2) In “bp-links-core.php” at line 1128

REPLACE:

return friends_check_friendship( $user_id, $link->user_id );

WITH:

if (function_exists(‘friends_check_friendship’))

return friends_check_friendship( $user_id, $link->user_id );

else

return null;

@nagoonline: you have asked this in another post, and we have answered. Do not double-post.

EDIT: Also, sending me a private message is not going to get you a reply any quicker. You could have searched Google to resolve this issue, as it’s a common WordPress “plugins broken my site” question.

Disable BuddyPress and all other plugins. Does the blacklist work? If it doesn’t, it’s a WordPress problem. If they do work with WordPress, re-enable each plugin one at a time until it stops working. If BuddyPress is the culprit, please report a bug ticket on https://trac.buddypress.org/ using your username and password from this site.

Rename your /plugins/ folder to something else, then try to access your admin dashboard.

More info available here:

https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-sitewide-tags/ is almost the pefect tool for this. It doesn’t allow you to choose which ones to bring in, it brings them all in.

I found one glaring problem though and it has to do with images in posts from other blogs. Basically when a post is made on another blog, it seems that it is automatically copied behind the scenes to the primary blog, only the title will link back to the original blog.

The problem with images, is that when wordpress gallery inserts images into a post, it uses a relative path and that is what is saved. Because that is what is brought over to the original blog, when the loop tries to display the image, it has no way of knowing what the blog id# of the image truly is.

example: http://uwcmi.org/site-blog/

the 4th article down is ‘welcome to the support blog, if you click the title, notice it takes you to another domain. I did nothing to make this happen, it is all automated. When I created the post on the other blog, it was automatically added to my primary buddypress site blog.

If I could find a way around the image problem, then at least for me it’s the perfect solution to what your asking for

oh yeah, has the same duplicate activity problem as other plugins mentioned above. solution to that lies in http://teleogistic.net/2009/12/streamlining-group-blogs/#comment-7023

Found another plugin:

Vote2Republish:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/vote2publish/

Could probably modify the code to remove the voting part.

There are a few options:

1) Featured Posts MU – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/featured-post-mu/ – uses a template tag that you can add to your homepage template or a widget.

2) BP Sitewide Featured Posts – http://dev.benoitgreant.be/blog/2009/11/buddypress-sitewide-featured-posts/ – uses a widget, but you could setup a widgetized frontpage and then you can use this widget. You could probably also modify the code to use it as a template tag.

[EDIT]

I misread your post, Wayne.

If you want the post’s content from another blog to reside on your main blog, you should think about making the user a contributor on your main blog. Then you won’t run into this issue.

You need to call WordPress into bbPress.

Add this to the top of your bb-config.php (right after the <?php line):

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') & !defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST')) {

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false) ;

include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-blog-header.php');

header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");

header("Status: 200 All rosy") ;

}

Then you can use WP/BP functions in bbPress.

I think the answer is YES for the following reason:

I do want to investigate the possibility of limiting access to certain forums to “groups” and then investigate how to link those groups somehow to “roles” from the WordPress side.

..is answer still to add line of code to wp-config ?

BuddyPress isn’t sending out emails (eg. activation emails, email notifications)

This appears to be a problem with certain web hosts (Bluehost primarily).

Members of the BP community have had success using the “Mail From” plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/

Try this and reply in the following forum thread if it doesn’t work:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/email-notification-not-working

It should be quite simple to add to the activity stream if you’re using a deep integrated install (loading WordPress into external bbPress). Because then you’d have access to WP’s (and consequently, BP’s) functions.

Thanks for this r-a-y.

Would you suggested tutorial also apply also for single WP installs?

–>http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/07/17/integrating-buddypress-wordpress-mu-and-bbpress/

or is there a better one?

and

Is there a way you know that would allow me to limit forums to roles beyond just the default “member”…

I have additional roles setup and would like to limit specific forums to those roles.

Last night I ran through a setup and successfully installed Buddypress 1,2,3 on WordPress 2.9.2 without hitch. Nothing inside WP-Wishlist member stopped working.

So for me it works with WP-Wishlist as Armand above says.

My next problem is to get the Thesis 1.6 Child theme (called Genealogies) to play nice with Buddypress

Good one Xevo. For external bbpress in one install, I use https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-latest-discussion/ with template tags you could use for home page and/or sidebar. Works well also with another install with internal bbpress enabled via BuddyPress.

1) Use the BP Template Pack plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

Please follow all of the steps involved.

2) Probably possible but will get messy trying to get cookies and login info integrated. You could try using WPMU or wait a few months when WP 3.0 is released and when BP is made compatible with WP v3.0.
