BuddyPress.org

You need to distinguish between whether it is a user interface issue, and if it isn’t, where the code/functionality is provided.

For example, BuddyBar is obviously a BuddyPress user interface feature. The code which is called when a user is marked as a spammer is in WordPress. The code that deletes a spammer’s activity from the Activity Stream is BuddyPress.

I started with a fresh 3.0 install. Never used any 2.9.anything. So does any have a fixed for the avatars not showing..as mine are being uploaded correctly. See my post two above. Thanks.

The debate of where a particular question should get answered when it comes to WP vs BP is interesting. I used to resort to the “don’t ask here, ask there instead” response. However, with BP becoming very popular, the line is blurred between what is the proper place to ask a question. We have to assume that some BP users might not be familiar with WP, in fact BP might be their first experience with the WP ecosystem. So it is important to be as helpful and friendly as possible.

If a question is foundational in nature, meaning that it has more to do with the workings of WP and not BP, I’ll often give some help but then suggest that they might get a better, faster response in the WP forums. The bigger issue for me is when someone posts a question that has been answered numerous times but they have not taken the time to do a proper search.

I also agree that BP is more than just a plugin. I usually refer to BuddyPress as a plugin suite but that never sat quite right with me. BuddyPress is a feature-rich platform as far as I’m concerned. It transcends the idea of a simple WordPress plugin. I have said this before but it’s worth mentioning again. I view many of the BP “plugins” as modules. In other words, they tie into BP extending its functionality.

@3sixty-

You seem to keep changing your avatar. I just realized this as I have come to expect the “larval newt” face but then saw the barreleye this morning.

BuddyPress is a plugin and like every other plugin, you don’t complain at the plugin because the core isn’t working properly. I get that you have a problem with this concept since I myself am unsure where to go with my question sometime, but if we start complaining about wordpress to plugin writers I’m guessing they’ll stop supporting their plugins.

This is a WordPress question as BuddyPress doesn’t provide wp-admin. I suggest you Google or search on the WordPress forums.

Can someone give solution that users that wish to sign up dont use buddypress signup page, instead they use regular wordpress signup which is much much safer.

Hmm, interesting. The generic BuddyPress register form does seem like a bit of a sieve (though it could just be my frustration talking).

I think you would just delete/disable /registration/activate.php and /registration/register.php. You would lose the ability for users to fill out extended profile fields at signup. However, quick signups are probably preferable, with seasoned users filling out extended profile fields as needed. I’ve read at least one article via delicious.com that suggests to me that signup forms need to be as simple as possible to help users focus on getting “behind the wall” fast and easy.

@guigoz I noticed that too This plugin is great but it’s missing the option that the normal WP seo plugin has to edit title inside the wordpress page set up for each individual page.

I am currently running WordPress 2.9.2 and Buddypress 1.2.3

modified plugin – all working fine

Do you think it is possible to use a redirect rule in .htaccess instead of going with the cPanel option from the video you provided? (I do not have cPanel, and I am on MediaTemple), to have images to doisplay fine in the activity stream?

Please note that WP itself installed in a subfolder is not a problem (https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory), and URLs are generated without the subfolder. It is the BuddyPress components that generates the subfolder in URLs/permalinks. And that is the reason why I needed this code (who was provided by r-a-y) to get rid of it:

// Getting rid of the subfolder in URLs/permalinks

function my_bp_override_core_domain() {

$domain = get_bloginfo('url');

return $domain;

}

add_filter('bp_core_get_root_domain','my_bp_override_core_domain');

I believe that as you said, many could be the issues with WP in a subfolder if not handled properly, but I also believe that there are *many* users using a subfolder installation, and probably the core BP should take this into consideration and properly handle one option (root installation) or another (subfolder installation), without having to use workarounds.

There is an article from Jeff Starr that may be interesting:

http://perishablepress.com/press/2008/10/06/redirect-subdirectory-to-root-via-htaccess/

I did try different solutions, but none of them worked.

But because this is not related only to your plugin, I will probably going to open a thread about the whole subfolder-related topic.

Still, if you got an answear for me, I am here.

Thanks.

@adiallo – It won’t do you any good to bump your post every few hours. This board isn’t well trafficked enough that you should expect an immediate response.

If you’re running standard (non-MU) WordPress, then you shouldn’t need the blog tracking feature. I’m not sure why BP is even trying to access wp_bp_user_blogs_blogmeta. When you go to Dashboard > BuddyPress > Component Setup, do you see a Blogs option? If so, disable it and see if it solves your problem.

If you’re still stuck, try a total reinstallation of BuddyPress. Delete the plugin and reinstall. If you’re *still* having problems, try deleting the plugin, then dropping the tables in the database that start with wp_bp_, THEN reactivating.

Or am I misunderstanding you and you’re actually running WPMU?

I was about to write a thread titled “We have our BP site up, should we use Terms Of Service”?

But since this thread’s here, no need to do that.

And, the WordPress.com resource is really what I was looking for. At the least as a base to be worked out to fit your particula site.

Once I customized mine, I will come here a provide the link to my TOS page, and it would be a nice idea if everybody else would do the same, so to share each other’s for inspiration.

What do you think?

You have to add the _inc folder in your theme folder (Atahualpa) and then, you add the code above to the functions.php file included in your theme.

It works BUT I just discovered that it adds the “header already sent” error when you edit your wordpress, maybe someone could help us?

Was this plugin working before and now it is not? If so, what has changed since then? Did you upgrade WPMU?

What versions of WP/MU and BuddyPress are you running?

If you look at the WP Plugin Repository for this plugin, others are having issues with it as well. I would suggest contacting the developer of the plugin and ask when they plan on updating it for the current versions of WP and BP.

thanks @gregfielding

@Isddesign you can download here (not approve yet)

@dre1080 after looking group document from web it say can extend plugin to group but not sure about it, may be in the next version if others interested too

How do I enable registration using an existing theme but I have added buddypress and buddypress template pack and I don’t see where to enable registration so people can register and post. How do I set up my theme so people can register and not using the wordpress screen but another form and can also post? This is urgent.

if your running a live site, i strongly suggest NOT to use 3.0 with 1.2.3!!!

wait for final versions from both WP and BP before upgrading.

it’s the safest thing to do

cheers,

First off, I visited your site and confirmed that BP Album+ is working correctly.

You’re having problems because you’ve modified wordpress to display one URL in the browser while running the actual site on another …this is VERY BAD, because the modification you’ve made only handles *one* of *many* ways plugins generate URLs and file paths. That’s why we had to modify part of the BP Album+ code for you so it would work on your site.

Modifying BP Album+’s activity stream code to work on your site would be much more difficult. The code gets the base URL from BuddyPress; so we would have to hook the BuddyPress function that does that and modify the URL, and that could break other parts of your installation. It would require testing and debugging, and so on.

Also, version 0.1.9 of BP Album+ (which I’m taking a break from coding to answer your post) has at least *fifty* different functions that would have to be modified so it would work on your site, which is completely impractical to do.

Fortunately, you can fix *all* of these problems quickly and easily, have WordPress in a subdirectory, and have the subdirectory invisible in the URL, by properly setting up your web server.

Here’s how:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/

^F^

is_user_logged_in() is present in both WP and WPMU. Odd. What versions of WordPress/WordPress MU are you using?

You can always install bp later when you have your site up and running, so you can do both. But imo its better to use buddypress from the start because it soul purpose is to built a community with and its a great way to let your members and blog owners interact.. So I include it from the start
