BuddyPress.org

I mean a “real wordpress post” from the WP dashboard. The idea is that I could create a real WP post and select the group as if it were a category, and then if you are a member of the group i posted to, the post would appear in your activity stream. Otherwise not. The “group’s activity stream” or by that i mean the “category” that is the page on which all of the group’s posts are summarized…that would work just like a normal post excerpt.

So, basically, it’s not about adding media like on FB, it’s about posting real articles, that is “real wordpress posts.”

I don’t know of anything that will, at the moment, allow for the kind of “rating” you’re asking for here. I assume you’d use BP activity as your ‘ideas’, though you could also have a custom post type (which would require coding).

You might check out BuddyPress Like, which might get you at least part of the way there: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-like/

What does “real posts” mean?

If you want the ability to include media in activity items, you might check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/

You don’t need a plugin to do the first part. Just use groups, plus https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-reviews/

Categorization will be trickier, and will require some sort of custom plugin. This plugin may help get you started: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-tags/

Brajesh is right; it’s probably a Javascript problem. I’d suggest checking out Suffusion’s custom BP template pack. Otherwise, as a stopgap, you might try changing line 23 of wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack.php from
`wp_enqueue_script( ‘bp-js’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ) );`
to
`if ( !is_admin() ) wp_enqueue_script( ‘bp-js’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ) );`

so that BP’s scripts are only loaded on non-Dashboard pages.

Suffusion has it’s own compatibility pack https://buddypress.org/community/groups/suffusion-buddypress-pack/ ….?

Hi,
It most probably seems like javascript conflict/error.
Do you use firefox. If yes, check the console(Even better if you use firebug addon) and please let us know if you see any error there ?

Hi Naved,
try this plugin
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-redirect-to-profile/

I had written it an year ago but it still works. Hope it helps. If it does not work. Please do let me know here.

In your case I think it’s impossible.

As I know, you can only make multiple wordpress installation with single login only if you are using a single database. Therefore, if you want there is BuddyPress with a single user credential on each WordPress installation, then it’s only possible if you are also using a single database.

Hi @boonebgorges Thanks a lot for the reply – no I actually have root on my server. So I went in and copied all the WP 3.1.3 files and installed manually, editing the connection strings myself in wp-config.php

For Buddy Press I copied the files via FTP to /plugins and installed from there. I do indeed have phpMyAdmin access. It looks like the tables are there and I can create groups and post updates in them. It’s just when I enable forums then that page shows no topics displayed. Likewise when I got to post in a public group via that group’s Forum tab it will also error. I’ve tried every solution I could read in here all day long to no avail Even clicking and unclicking the group’s permission to allow discussion forums.

Forum Link: http://stangnation.com/forums

I’ve tried a number of permalink structures as well – I am currently using /%category%/%postname%

I CHMOD /plugins/buddypress to 755. I made sure of course the bb-config.php is accurate and in the root. BuddyPress SQL tables are on the same db as WordPress is..

Really stumped here…

@nicholmikey… thanks for the help on cubepoints implementation…

Have you integrated buddypress?

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

BuddyPress Template Pack 1.1

If you want it totally separate, then install first WP at domain root – http://yoursite.com. Create a second WP install at say, a physical subdomain – http://community.yoursite.com/ – using same database but different prefix for tables and install BuddyPress there.

== why I do not have the option of Blogs in my component setup ==

Because you need to make it multisite first i.e. create a network https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

1. Deactivate all plugins including BuddyPress

2. Create the network – if you hit some snags, support forum is at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite

3. Before installing BP – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/

Hi Joanquingrech.

You can change any of the labels and messages in BuddyPress to whatever you want by making a customized language file. This article explains what to do: http://wpmu.org/basic-guide-to-creating-a-buddypress-language-file-for-sitewide-label-and-message-editing/

I like thinking of groups as “categories” myself. If you change them to “categories” or “topics” in the language file, then they can be geographical areas, or guilds, or whatever you want.

You can remove “groups” from the menu by creating a custom menu in WordPress that doesn’t have a ‘Groups’ tab.

Normally, users would join the groups themselves by clicking on the “join group” button, but as an admin you can move users around as you want between groups.

I can’t advise you on the theme for the forum appearance. I’m just going to edit the stylesheet myself to set mine up how I want.

cheers,

Clare

How? please always share how you solved a problem on a open forum as it may help others who come across the thread.

`define (‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’); adding this to wp-config can solve my problem ?`

This is a non question the response to which always has to be ‘You tell us’! try it does it fix the issue? it’s a simple test.

if it doesn’t then your host may not permit individual sites to alter PHP at site level ( very sensible on shared hosting) in which case you may need to speak to tech support and ask that the memory limit is increased or whether it can be.

You probably need more memory…..
