Hi Andy,

I tried updating the home and member themes…but dont see any success. I’m getting the following error when I select the buddypress theme from the ‘design’ console:

***************************************************

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_search_form_action() in /home/thekartn/public_html/chennairunnersorg/site/wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/header.php on line 33

***************************************************

I’m using WordPress v2.6.5 and the latest version of Buddypress (downloaded from the website on 1st Jan ’09). Is there a compatibility issue? Thanks in advance for the help!

Just as a follow up to this, here is the relvant urls:

According to Will, it’s already working in WPMU so we’ll have to look and how to make this work in BP. I’ve got a client interested in this, so hopefully I might report back in the near future.

I have done exactly what you are talking about at http://buglenotes.com. I set default role to Author, turned off new blog creation, and then modified menus as nec to remove personal blog options (so as not to confuse). I also renamed the News menu item to Blog. Now everyone contributes posts to a “central” blog. So far so good. Of course, this could all backfire after launch

It works for the main blog too, thought the search function isn’t all that useful given there would only be a single blog but all the other functions work with the main blog.

All you’d need to do to get this setup is to change the default role for the main blog from subscriber to contributor and disable blog registration. Also, you may want to hack at the code to remove things such as the blog directory, the list of user blogs, etc. but this is optional.

usually I search the whole wordpress directory for the string do_action or apply_filters, then look for the best place to hook my functions to.

I wanted to give an update here as I am continually impressed with this shopping cart (http://shopplugin.net/). I would recommend it to anyone needing a solution. (Im not the only one singing its praises: http://lbnuke.com/2008/12/30/wordpress-ecommerce-plugins-shopp-vs-wp-ecommerce/ )

Anyways, its now publicly available as a 1.0 release for $55 standalone, plus $25 for gateways ($300 for developer license – he doesn’t specify where wpmu falls on this)

So, with the latest 1.0 release, the developer behind shopp fixed the global database issue I had previously mentioned. I can now install it in a wordpressmu environment (with buddypress installed, too) and get it running on 2 different blogs, each with their own products/carts! It requires further testing to declare it production ready, but I could not find anything wrong with it from an hour of testing. The only issue I found was doing the automated upgrades causing an error in wpmu – so if/when upgrading the plugin, be sure to do it manually instead of through the automated process (but Im sure that will get fixed in future releases as well)

what is your site burtadsit?

I’m using wordpress-mu-2.6.5 and bp combo beta. No other plug-ins, etc.

Is this creating the problem: “DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8” ??

From the Apache error log, this is the same syntax error I saw earlier when BP was trying to create tables (see earlier posts):

[suexec 11180] Chdir to /kunden/homepages/14/d123456789/htdocs/exploreouroceans
