BuddyPress.org

I think I am close to solving the non working Email activation list, but can an experienced developer give me the answer?

This is my previous thread on the issue: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/activation-email-link-does-not-copy-codekey-into-the-box/

This is the thread many of us reported the same problem: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/wp-3-3-1-bp-1-5-4-user-activation-link-does-not-work/

Here is my problem. Activation emails do not work, even when copying and pasting the key into the activation box. I am running BP 1.5.4 and WP 3.3.1.

Scenario I have on my website: Users register on the WordPress Register page, not the BuddyPress register page.

They are sent an email, they click activate and are directed to a box to place a code even though there is no code.

I was able to alter the email that was sent out to include the key in the email. Copying and Pasting does not activate a user.

I also changed the email to include a link to the reset password page, when users hit get new password, it says they don’t exist as a user.

NOW, when I just registered from the Buddy Press register page, I got an email with a working activation link and it activated the account. I want to make note that even though I changed the email going out from the bp_core_filters.php file and I sent out modded emails before, this time the modded email content DID NOT go out. The modded email is still there in bp_core_filters.php, but the email I got was similar to the original emails. All it had was a link in it. Thus, the email that was sent out came from a different part of the BuddyPress plugin. And this email WORKS.

I need to register from the WordPress side because I’m using CIMY to collect address information that I don’t want to be part of the public BuddyPress file.

Can anyone offer insight?

WordPress: 3.3.1
bbPress: 2.0.2
Installed at: http://www.mysite.com/blog
Apache Server running the latest Php, etc.

I have a fresh install of WP in an empty directory called “blog”. Ran through the steps outlined here: http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/ Verified permalinks etc.

Next I went through the automated installation instructions here: http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/

And then walked through the BP 1.5 Installation Wizard here: http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/buddypress-1-5-installation-wizard/
I kept all of the defaults.

Next I walked through the Configuring of Components keeping all of the defaults. http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/

When I got to the Forums configuration I chose Install Site Wide Forums and then walked through page 2 only of Installing Group and Sitewide Forums: http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/2/
(NOTE: on Step 2 with the orange Install Now button, there was a note saying that this was not tested in my version of WP – however I had no issues the rest of the way with the install process)

After bbPress was installed, I activated it and then went into the bbPress Settings and left the defaults. I saw the note here saying: ” During the Installation Wizard, Forums will be associated with the “Forums” page. In some installations, you do not need to change anything. But if your sitewide forums won’t work, go to wp-admin BuddyPress > Pages and you’ll find the association and remove the Forums Page as the selected page.”

I then followed the directions to add test forums and topics and then tested.

Here’s where I have issues. At the beginning I found that links were messed up. The forum link went to the blog and the blog went to the forum however the page was completely white. I messed with the menus and sorted that out (I think) and then set the Forum under BuddyPress > Pages > Discussion Forums to – None – per the NOTE above and now a page for the forums showed up however there were no forums. Looking for hours through the codex I found something that said I had to add this shortcode to make it work: [bbp-forum-index]

It seems to work in this configuration however when I use the Dashboard I get this message: “The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Discussion Forums” With a Repair button next to it. Clicking the Repair button takes me to the BP > Pages page again. If I set that to Forums, it Pulls up the blog root directory page (Home page) and has a big red warning that says “The forums component has not been set up yet.”

I’ve deleted the entire ‘blog’ directory and started from scratch twice with the same exact results. It’s not a hard process and I find it difficult to think that you’d really have to manually add the short code for the forum to work. So what am I doing wrong or missing?

All help is appreciated. Oh, I did try searching the forums first. But the search is broken and I got tired after reading the first 50 pages. So please excuse me if this has been answered previosuly.

Thanks,
Jared

I updated wordpress to latest version, trying to update buddypress also, but no luck. The moment I hit “Network Activate,” I get a blank screen (erro 500). I deactivated everything, including older template. I can only restore the site (WP only) when I delete or rename Buddypress directory. Any idea where I should be looking? Many thanks

I have not been able to find anything about this. [Is there no search box for the forums or am I being stupid?]

The profile-fields loop in bp-default uses a table layout. I have seen divs used in a premium plugin (buddydev’s cosmicbuddy). I think that a non-table layout would give the flexibility I need, particularly as member Profiles is probably going to be the most important component for the site. Is there any well-known way to do this before I have a go myself and perhaps try to reinvent the wheel. (OK it is a very tiny wheel!)

I am just starting out with a clean install of BuddyPress 1.5.4 on WordPress 3.3.1 and am making a child theme of bp-default.

How do I edit the BuddyPress BuddyBar? I want to add a section for a plugin I have had developed. Any help is greatly greatly appreciated!

Hi all.

I recently followed these steps (http://wpmututorials.com/news/new-features/multiple-buddypress-social-networks/) to use multiple distinct buddypress networks. It essentially installs buddypress on individual wordpress subnetworks that were created using WP Multi Network plugin.

This all works fine but for one problem (that seems to be purely aesthetic but rather disruptive on the page). On the dashboard for the wordpress subnetwork with buddypress activated, and on the actual pages themselves, I get the following error:

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/avatars/1) is not within the allowed path(s): (/f5/mysite/:/nfsn/apps/php53/lib/php/:/nfsn/apps/php5/lib/php/:/nfsn/apps/php/lib/php/) in /f5/mysite/public/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php on line 195

So again, this is displayed on the dashboard and on the pages (anywhere where there is an avatar).

I also just added some groups, and I get the same error when a page displays the avatar for the group, with the exception that the file “not allowed within the allowed path” is File(/group-avatars/1).

I can’t for the life of me figure out how to make this go away. The user avatars load fine, so I don’t know why there is an error anyway. I deactivated an uninstalled buddypress and re-installed/activated it again, but the problem persists.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
