BuddyPress.org

Whenever I try to add a link i get the following error message:

Please fill in all of the required fields.

As far as I can tell there is only one field. The link url. The other 2, Edit Avatar Options & Edit Advanced Settings have nothing in them.

I am running wordpress single user, BP 1.2 stable and BP Links dev. version.

You need to upgrade to WPMU 2.9.1.1 to use BP 1.2.

Also since you were using 1.0.3, I would have recommended upgrading to 1.1.3 first before upgrading to 1.2.

One other thing, you might also need the BP Backwards Compatibility plugin:

Arrowchat looks cool. Their screenshots advertise WordPress integration, so a BP integration should be quite simple.

Rather than having a fancy AJAX footer chat, I would much prefer a chat app that has some form of permissible group functionality.

I don’t really understand what you mean. You can create a static WordPress page and set that as the home page under “Settings > Reading”.

Ok. So I’ve tried Comet Chat. Listen to me carefully..Do Not Buy. Horrible documentation, horrible support (or lack there of) and didn’t work properly with BuddyPress.

On the bright side. Here is what you need and should released with a week that will work with WordPress and I’m sure BuddyPress with little or no changes:

http://www.arrowchat.com

there’s also twitter, http://jobs.wordpress.net, the wp-pro mailing list and other job sites.

No problem. I would suggest mentioning the WPMU requirement on https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-wiki/ as well.

I’m not sure when 1.2 final will be out. The revisions of the release candidates moved by quickly, so one can hope it would be soon?

If you’d like a BP 1.2.rc3+WPMU tester, drop a message.

Also is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-links/download/ the place to look to if there are revised betas coming out (say 0.4-beta for example)? Keep up the great work!

There is nothing protecting spammers from registering on testbp.org. I get some occasionally, but I nuke them with “mark as spam” as soon as they pop up. I found since with the new default theme spam has reduced significantly.

SI Captcha is a good spam prevention method. There really are a lot of options, but don’t search for “BuddyPress spam prevention”… this is not a BP issue, it’s a WordPress issue. You need to search for WordPress spam prevention instead.

Template is not loading in case of WordPress single user…but the same code works on WPMU…

if ( $bp->current_component == BP_EXAMPLE_SLUG && !$bp->is_single_item &&

!$bp->displayed_user->id){

$bp->is_directory = true;

bp_example_load_template( ‘example/index’ );

}

and I have implemented bp_example_load_template function as given by MrMaz.

Anybody having same problem???

I am using WP 2.9.1 (Single user) with BP1.2 RC2 and WPMU 2.9.1.1 with BP 1.2 RC2

Thanks

This is a problem with WPMU and spammers simply wanting to register spam blogs. I’ve not really seen the problem on standard WordPress, and with blog registration disabled.

I recommend the SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/

I’ve been using RPX plugin, but I still haven’t figured out to sync user avatars.

There’s a hack with using user local avatars plugin for wordpress, but it doesn’t seem to work well with 1.2 RC3.

Search comment plugins I saw something like this once

Wow! You could install BP in Yahoo! Hosting? I’ve seen many support questions at WordPress.org/forums where users are bogged down or get errors with that hosting, didn’t know that Yahoo! had mod_rewrite enabled

You can login on the sidebar at http://3rut.com/3rut/ where your BP is installed. Not sure if this is going to work with Yahoo! hosting, but test if this could be added to your wp-config.php

Allow BuddyPress to function on multiple blogs of a WPMU installation, not just on one root blog:

define ( 'BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG', true );
