BuddyPress.org

Hi, I’ve wordpress mu + buddypress last version and I try to use this plugin. I’ve installed without problem but it seems doesn’t work. I also try to rename the plugin directory.

For example when I insert a url like “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8OAF2cU6Xc” in the activity stream it remains only link. Like this http://madeintorino.com/members/admin/activity/1138

How can I do?

thanks

Probably because you didn’t deactivate all of the other plugins before upgrading BP.

Try deleting the entire BP plugin via FTP. Then log back into your WordPress install and deactivate all of your plugins (site-wide and homepage plugins). Then upload the latest version of BP via FTP and activate it. Then you can activate your other plugins.

@Modemlooper Shucks, that’s too easy.

You should try the oEmbed plugin! It automatically allows you to insert videos from youtube/vimeo and others by simply putting in the URL.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-widget-for-blogs/

– enables blog admins to show their BuddyPress avatar with link to BP profile page plus own xprofile fields

Swapping header.php on the blog files so it calls different CSS?

Has anyone created code or released a plugin that would combine this functionality with something that will display blog author in a buddypress user’s blog sidebar?

I poked around the MU forums and found some similar plugins, This one

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile-pic/

Sounds very close to what I am envisioning.. I am considering testing that plugin, with the one mentioned above in the first post of this thread, and the “blog-defaults” plugin to see if I can get all of my user’s blogs to have a widget auto added in a new default theme that will display their avatar, and a link to their buddypress profile.

Has anyone does this already and have any advice or code to share?

First, make a backup of your existing theme and I’m guessing here but…

You might be able to just take your existing WP theme and make it a child theme of bp-default. This should cause WP to go looking in the bp-default theme directory for anything not defined in your main WP theme directory.

Some stuff will break. Fixing it might be difficult. I haven’t tried this so good luck and make a backup first.

Oh, and let us know how it goes.

Getting these errors in the apache logs… something’s b0rked!

The bb-attachments table does exist, though, and is populated with data.

You’re talking about separating your WordPress blog from BuddyPress?

If you’re using WPMU, you can do this:

On the roadmap for post-1.3, the team is going to look at WordPress user roles with a view to integrating them.

@warut

Once you’ve done what Bowe has said.

You will need to know how to use SVN or you can use a SVN client.

If you’re using Windows, TortoiseSVN is the most popular SVN program..

Here’s a nice tutorial for Tortoise:

http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2007/06/17/listing-your-plugin-at-the-wordpressorg-plugin-directory/

You should have a WordPress account and then go to:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add/

Submit your plugin, and it will get added to the repository after it has been approved.. this will take a short while

@beeza

Did you create a directory ‘bb-attachments’ one level above your WP root as per the instructions here?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/forum-attachments-for-buddypress/installation/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/forum-attachments-for-buddypress/ – you can upload different file types … images, swf, etc.

edit- depends on what kind of attachment site admin allows, of course.

This might also be a great solution here: http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/09/17/members-wordpress-plugin

I think it’s easily extensible, for example gravity forms uses it’s power:

Role Management Integration

Gravity Forms is compatible with Justin Tadlock’s Members plugin for role management. Have granular control over what users can and can’t do within Gravity Forms.

I agree there is a need for a user role just under Site Admin.

I don’t think the BP team needs to address it though. I also think it should be plugin based.

User roles internal to WordPress are due for an overhaul, but it’s been pushed back a bit.

You could sort of tackle this via the Menus plugin for MU. That’d be a bit kludgey though.

testbp now runs regular WordPress, not MU, which is why that has “disappeared.”

the avatar has vanished from my site too with the new version.

i dont have Settings -> Miscellaneous Settings in my wordpress MU version:(

Thanks Ray:) You’re right I rarely do come in here as all I ever hear is problems, lol:)

@heathj85 – Make sure you installed it correctly. Meaning that there was a bp-chat/config/bp-chat-config.php file created and it’s contents are right. If not you would get this error as well. But few people do. Although reasons you might get it are:

1. You don’t allow table creation for the wordpress user/password in wp-config

2. You didn’t chmod 777 the config directory on install

3. Your information in bp-chat-config.php is wrong or not present.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,

Dave

The only one I found is: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-like/

It only does “thumbs up” (like) but no “thumbs down” but does work with the activity stream.
