BuddyPress.org

Hey All – Thanks for your help.

I found exactly what I was looking for here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-from-site/

This plugin lets users make posts “from the site” rather than going int the dashboard or admin.

It is a very sweet popup interface that lets users create post title, content, upload images, add tags, etc, and is fully configurable. I ‘ve tried it out and really like it so far….

My WPMU & BP is working fine. Even I am able to browse everything like forums, groups, activity with ease. I can create individual blogs as well & further I can post new topic. I am able to access those posts & blogs. But when I click on “Blog” icon on header I will get message like this

“Page Not Found

The page you were looking for was not found.”

I changed nothing except in control panel for dns entry for a “/” for subdomain.

1. Which version of WPMU are you running? WordPress MU 2.9.1.1

2. Did you install WPMU as a directory or subdomain install? directory

3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory? subdirectory

4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WPMU? If so, from which version? fresh install

5. Was WPMU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress? Yes, sure it was i even created a blog and was reading the posts normally.

6. Which version of BuddyPress (BP) are you running? BP1.2.1

7. Did you upgrad from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? No

8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? no

9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? standard

10. Have you modified the core files in any way? no

11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php? no

12. If running bbPress, which version? NO

13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.

Please help me solve this, I have struggled a lot with it. Thank you!

Followed

http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/07/17/integrating-buddypress-wordpress-mu-and-bbpress/

instructions exactly.

Clean install of WP 2.9.2. Installed Buddypress 1.2.1 as plugin and activated. Also activated BuddyPress Default 1.2.1 theme. All seems to be working ok.

Now from theeasybutton link above:

1. Download bbPress 1.0.1 (I downloaded 1.0.2)

2. Unzip it and upload the entire bbpress folder to your root directory.

I uploaded bbpress-1.0.2.zip to root and extracted. I am at Hostgator.

3. Change the name of the directory from bbpress to forums and chmod it to 777 if it isn’t already.

Did that.

4. Go to yoursite.com/forums. “Go to step 1″

Went to wonowon.com/forums and nothing happened. There is no “Go to step 1″

New version! Version 1.1.5 just released.

Grab it over here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tweetstream/

Thanks for the instructions..

I now face another problem….

I am unable to upload Group avatars….

I saw some one else face the same issue here

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/370443

is already in Trac…

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2094

and here

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12427

Posthaste experiments go nowhere. I’m closer to a solution with P2, with the theme integrated directly into the bp-groupblog plugin (old version for 1.1.3…).

I’ve boiled the problem down to this: I need to tell the p2.js file which blog it is operating in. Without a blogid it assumes it’s working on the main blog.

The solution is probably in here somewhere: Get blog_id in external files. Also mentions the switch_to_blog function that Marius Ooms pointed out to me in bp-groupblog.

How can I turn that into a line of javascript that I can add at the top of p2.js? ‘var something = something;’?

Or should I add something to functions.php? It has functions like this:

function latest_post_permalink() {

global $wpdb;

$sql = "SELECT ID FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 1";

$last_post_id = $wpdb->get_var($sql);

$permalink = get_permalink($last_post_id);

return $permalink;

}

What should I add to a function like this to tell it from which blog to get the last post permalink? Or can I add $blogid as global or something like that?

@peterverkooijen I think I understand your structure a bit, however frontend posting will always be tied to a theme that is activated on the blog itself. I don’t think it will be possible to post from the group url. Not until frontend posting develops into a plugin rather than tied deeply into a theme. If all the features P2 offers would be part of a plugin, than it could be activated on any theme and we would be one step closer to post from within the group.

You could potentially still do what you wish, nut it would require each blog to set up two front pages as described here:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page

You could then use one front page to be loaded inside the group structure and style it as the group by attaching a unique stylesheet. Your other front page would be the main blog front page and could look entirely different.

That is probably as close as you will get, until someone comes up with a clever frontend posting plugin.
