BuddyPress.org

Kenneth,

Make sure you are putting the MO language file in the right place — it goes in “{your-buddypress-install}/bp-languages”. Also make sure it’s named correctly with “buddypress-” and the WPLANG locale definition (like “fr_FR” for French).

Then make sure you have defined your language in “wp-config.php”.

You can see all the details at Translating WordPress.

That page explains:

Set WPLANG inside of wp-config.php to your chosen language. For example, if you wanted to use French, you would have:

define ('WPLANG', 'fr_FR');

Hello,

Unfortunately, most hosting companies do not support wildcards due to some configuration settings that should be applied both in the DNS and Apache virtual host. Still, in a properly configured hosting enviropment this can be easily achieved and these requirements can be met without any additional charges.

You may review the following hosting provider which fully support wildcards and has a BuddyPress and WordPress MU hosting packages:

http://www.tmdhosting.com/buddypress-hosting.html

You may also check the following blog on the test platform of BuddyPress at:

http://tmdhosting.testbp.org/

A step by step tutorial on how to install BuddyPress on your hosting is available on:

I hope this information will be useful due to the fact that it is not an advertisement — you are free to choose the best hosting provider for your needs. Good luck .

I’am currently working on a matching bbPress theme for BuddyPress … But, it only fit my (tweaked) theme for BuddyPress

The forum is up and running, but the theme is still in development

The color scheme i use can be seen over here:

http://wordpress-blog.nl

With poedit.

See https://codex.wordpress.org/User:Skippy/Creating_POT_Files

The bbPress template is PAINFUL to modify. Doesn’t work the same was as WordPresss.

I’ve found though that the blank theme available from

http://www.refueled.net/blank-themes/

make creating a matching theme so much easier.

Check them out.

Upgrade to the latest svn mu 2.7.1 branch: http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7

There was a bug in mu that tried to load plugins that don’t exist. Since you don’t have the individual bp plugins anymore, they don’t exist. That might be the problem. This was fixed in rev 1720.

Hally-

wp-signup.php is a WordPress Mu file, not a BuddyPress file. Look within the directory you’ve installed WPMU.

Ah — you mentioned RC1. Then yes, the BuddyPress plugins would be in “mu-plugins” still.

Write in new language to msgstr within buddypress.pot and save as buddypress-spots.mo

Make sure you are creating the MO file from a PO file, which is in turn a copy of the POT that is bundled with BuddyPress.

Your “bp-languages” directory should look something like this:

buddypress.pot

buddypress-mysite.po

buddypress-mysite.mo

If you have trouble editing the POT or PO in a text editor, you can use special software also — see https://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress and look for “Translation Tools.” In my opinion those are overkill for this type of thing, though.

I currently use vbulletin and a regular wordpress blog and find that the bridge is so nice. I agree that an MU/VB bridge would set things perfect for me. However, seeing that we can’t have the bets of both worlds just yet, can anyone give me a good reason why I should more to bbPress? I understand that it is a young forum but does anyone really see it getting better? And if so, soon?

Looks like this was fixed in Changeset 1157. Therefore, the bug still exists if you’re using RC1.

You have two choices:

1. Either upgrade to the latest trunk (as Burt says) following these instructions: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1994

2. Or, wait until WordPress MU 2.7.1 is officially released and an official BuddyPress RC2 zip is available.

Hi Tutsie,

This type of change would typically be done with a plugin. Keep in mind that this isn’t a BuddyPress customization as much as it is a WordPress MU one.

I did a quick Google search for “change wordpress admin profile link” and found a few places you could start.

In this WordPress forum topic is some code that would change the behavior of the profile link (albeit for a different reason); this method of changing the admin behavior isn’t recommended, however, since it requires hacking a core file. A plugin would be much better since it doesn’t require changing the core file (and having to stress about updating your WordPress MU code later).

Depending on how much you want to work on this, you could download these two plugins: WP Hide Dashboard and Admin Menu Management, open them up in a text editor, and look at how they change the menus in the WordPress admin area.

Plugins do two things: (1) they provide a new functionality and (2) they hijack the normal WordPress behavior and perform the functionality described in the plugin instead.

Hope that helps…

“It is coming”

GREAT!

If you just downloaded it from bp.org then it’s RC1. If you are not using svn then you can by getting a client app like TortiseSVN for Windows. http://tortoisesvn.net/

The url to get the latest source is: https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk

Running the trunk version of bp requires you to be running wpmu 2.7.1 which is only available by svn at: http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7

There have been changes in the member theme directory and bp’s move from the /mu-plugins dir to the /plugins dir in wpmu.

Not a stupid question at all.

btw, when I enabled openid plugin from wordpress.org, the version 3.2.2 (the latest you can get from wporg), all active accounts of my install got locked out. Of course RPX was already inactive…

FYI.

You can use Twitter Tools to creat tweets of your new blog post, and it also allows you to tweet from wordpress.

What exactly do you want to be tweeted (tweet? tweeted?)?

hi Mypop,

Do you add this line into your bbPress bb-config.php to enable user switching ? $bb->bb_xmlrpc_allow_user_switching = true;

i followed those advices below to install my forum. I hope it can help you

here is a video :

http://wordpress.tv/2009/01/23/integrating-a-bbpress-forum-with-your-self-installed-wordpress/

and there some good tips :

http://trentadams.com/2009/04/01/buddypress-forums-tutorial/

I notice that the twitter plugin makes some conflits with the bb_press install. I deleted it.

You could try using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/remove-buddypress-admin-bar/ and then create a little plugin that copies the parts of the bar you want and hooks into wp_head.

(Heads up: check the source of the remove-buddypress-admin-bar plugin: there is a parameter you may need to set based on what version of BP you’re running.)
