Topic: Your thoughts on this setup…

in forum Miscellaneous

Apologies in advance for the long post – I’m after a bit of guidance. Ok, here’s the scenario:

I used to hit mountains and hills hiking and camping, and am getting back into it. There’s a fair few friends that are interested in joining in, all with various levels of experience, but some are green to the outdoors.

I currently run a vBulletin site that some of these friends are members of. Others aren’t but are on Facebook, and others aren’t members of any social networking sites as yet.

The site I create I want ultimately to do two main things:

1) Be a one-stop shop for information, CMS stylee.

a) Give information on upcoming events.

b) Give articles/information about advice for kit (eg boots, waterproofs, layers, tents, stoves, etc).

c) Give articles/information on skills (eg map & compass, GPS, etc, etc).

d) Have a blog for relevant thoughts.

2) Encourage discussion for upcoming events and people to upload walking logs, photos, etc.

a) Allow individual profiles.

b) Allow uploading of photos and videos.

c) Allow basic forum discussion, and other commenting.

d) Allow group creations as some of my mates like mountain biking, kayaking, etc – so some will go out and carry out those activities, whilst others will just hike, etc.

I could setup some Facebook style site – but I know that some of my mates aren’t up for joining Facebook. I also know that some of them won’t want to join the vB site I already have (and it’s not really geared towards this purpose in any case).

I don’t really want to use vB, and feel that WordPress could offer a solution. I want to use WPRemix for the CMS side of what I’m trying to do (1 above). But then I want to use BuddyPress + WordPress MU + bbPress to achieve the discussion/social networking side (2 above).

I did try and setup WordPress MU + BuddyPress + bbPress, and then added WPRemix and set that to the main site/blogs theme. I setup with subdomains for users, but basically that creates some weird outcomes:

site.com > WPRemix theme.

user.site.com > BuddyPress Home theme – but no widgets setup (I thought that that should have gone to either the user’s profile or the user’s blog?).

And there were some strange authentication issues, I’m assuming cookie/domain related? I also want users to be able to use the BuddyPress theme only, not the WPRemix theme.

Anyway, would I be better off creating two sites:

site.com > WordPress 2.7 + WPRemix.

my.site.com > WordPress MU + BuddyPress + bbPress with WordPress MU setup not to use subdomains (directories instead).

Thoughts would be appreciated!

Cheers,

IB.

Is there a plugin that will give me a ‘Featured Blog’ widget I can use on the Front Page (Similar to the feature group widget)? I’ve looked on the WordPress MU site and throughout the forums and could have missed it.

Thanks,

John

Don’t know about the groups, but as far as your subdomain problem… you can only set these options (between user.domain.com vs. domain.com/user) when you install WordPress MU. Once you set that during install, there’s no way to change it after that. If you have to change it, you have to reinstall WordPress from scratch and pick the right installation options.

I will go out on a limb to say that what looks like a bug at first is often times just normal user error.

I consider myself a seasoned PHP/SQL/Linux/WordPress/bbPress veteran, and to be honest it took me installing and reinstalling MU/BuddyPress 4 times before I was able to follow the instructions correctly. Each time I would have sworn on my undead mothers grave that I did everything right, but alas…

So a tip to you all, if it isn’t working, it just might be because of something you don’t know you didn’t do…

Now I’m trying to use Burt’s plugin in combo with the Block Admin plugin to prevent users from accessing the dashboard but no luck. I have new blog owners defaulted to author, and yet they still get access to the dashboard.

For what it’s worth, I’m using it and I can get to the dashboard once logged in via ‘URL/wp-admin’.

Of all the solutions, Burt’s plugin seems to work best, and of course if we can redirect the login page to whatever page we want to, it would be even better.

However, the only problem I have encountered with Burt’s plugin is that after I upload it, I can not access the dashboard as the administrator either! To get in the admin area, I have to remove the plugin again. Perhaps, there is a shortcut of something to avoid this.

Sorry Burt. The questions don’t seem to end. But I guess that’s how human beings have continued to evolve, eh?

Thank you

was not trying to be rude, sorry if it came off that way. This script was used with the Beta 1 of BP without issue, so whatever changed in the Beta 2 that is related is what I need to find a workaround for. Just asking for some guidance/assistance. The script is textbook php so it works fine from that respect…. I have 2 databases in mySQL, 1 that is for the WordPressMU and Buddypress, and another that I created separately for another part of my site….the second database is the one the script is calling.

Any thoughts?

burtadsit

function oci_login_redirect($redirect_to, $set_for, $user){

$redirect_to = bp_core_get_userurl($user->ID);

return $redirect_to;

}

add_filter(‘login_redirect’, ‘oci_login_redirect’, 10, 3);

How do I redirect to the user’s new blog versus their profile?

Thx

Okay so i followed the instructions here https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3173&replies=3#post-19388 .. here’s what I did..
```
# chown nobody -R blogs.dir

# chgrp nobody -R blogs.dir

# find blogs.dir -type f -print -exec chmod 644 {} ;

# find blogs.dir -type d -print -exec chmod 755 {} ;
```
but it still doesn’t seem to work… any idea what to do?

blogs.dir and some other folders will probably need to be chown’d to the user and group that runs the webserver. Apache2 by default (I think) uses the nobody user account, so I’m assuming that’s what your host uses.

Whilst 777 will let everything access it, from a security perspective, you should really go for 755 permissions and check that the owner/group of the files is the same as that of the webserver.

BTW if you’d have tested uploading an avatar on a plain WordPress MU install, you’d have had exactly the same problem. This isn’t buddypress.

Topic: BP admin bar on bbpress front page

in forum Creating & Extending

Erwin Gerrits

Hi,

I am trying to make the bbpress front page to look like my buddypress page so it looks a bit more integrated, and I can add a tab “forums” to the main navigation which will bring me from wordpress mu font page to bbpress front page.

For this, I need to display the buddypress admin bar on top of the bbpress front page. Is this a possibility? Do I need to load the entire wordpress header? (is this even possible from a sub directory?)

Thanks for your help

I tried deleting blogs but everything went horribly wrong and I had to reinstall wordpress mu. The ids would go from 1 ,4 7 and so on . The ids would skip as if id 4 couldn’t be used…it was gone but it was still kind of there. I am amazed no one else is not having this problem, thanks tom for the advice, I don’t know how to deal with this.

Hi Laura.

Are you talking about the so called “widgets” that display information on your site (I can’t see the items you mention when I visit it)? These are responsible for showing, among other things, categories, recent posts, comments, and so on.

You can remove these from the WordPress admin page, under the Appearance section.

As for the problems with the avatars I’m not sure (I created a test account, MartinNr5, feel free to delete it if you wish). There might be a problem with the graphics library on the host that you have your site with so that the images isn’t processed properly.

Can you check with them to see if they support the minimum requirements for WordPress and buddypress?

Hi:

I am new to the whole WordPress and BuddyPress world, but have launched a buddypress site (www.mobiusmanitou.com) that is working nicely. I have a few blogs there (Showcase, FinderMap, and Interviews, located across on the header menu bar) that I want to edit. I’d like to take the Categories, Archive, Subscribe-Comments, and Recent Posts stuff from the sides so it isn’t visible to the viewer. I am guessing this is pretty basic, but I don’t want to runk anything else up by doing it. If it makes a difference, in the Showcase, I am using pages for the entries, not posts as it does what I want otherwise.

Also, I am having trouble uploading my avatar. It opens a window for me to do it, but that is it. I can’t get beyond that point. Is this a known issue, or is it something I am doing?

Thanks in advance!

Laura

Hi DJPaul:

So, I created the little plugin and placed it in wp-content/mu-plugin folder.

I then went back to the “welcome” box to make the changes to the outgoing text. No changes were made. Sorry for being slow here. But these are the questions I have right now!

1) I have no idea what to do with this step you mentioned above:

“Sorry, forgot to add. Use these tokens in your update_welcome_user_email function to tell WordPress where to insert the relevant values: USERNAME PASSWORD LOGINLINK SITE_NAME”

2) After I create the file and place it in the Mu plugin, where should I go to customize my final message going to the user.

I really appreciate the help.

Thanks so much;

Vida
