BuddyPress.org

I’m also trying to understand the differences…

I have a standard wp site that with multiple blog authors and am thinking of adding Buddypress to it… at the moment even authors don’t have a link in the admin section to post to the blog… so i’m a bit confused about how that functionality is going to work.

I also wonder it will be possible to add a public useable contac form to member profiles – if anyone could point me to a plugin that would be great because at the moment i’m guess they are all geared to ward BP/WPMU?

Did you patch vars.php?

That’s the solution for your problem.

I too have also tried to use the tutorial that carrotcreative has mentioned, but not managed to get it working. The reason for my problem though I believe is that I am trying to use BuddyPress 1.2.1 on a standalone installation of WordPress 2.9.2. The tutorial is referencing the hook “bp_core_activate_account” which as far as I can see is in turn calling the function “wpmu_activate_signup” which I am guessing doesn’t exist outside of MU.

I’ve tried using the “user_register” too hook onto and run the “update_usermeta” ,but that doesn’t appear to be working. Does anyone know what hook should be used for standalone WordPress in the absence of “bp_core_activate_account”

Thanks.

You’ll need to install bbPress as an external install.

Download bbPress @ bbpress.org/download.

Find integration guides @ bbpress.org/forums or this link:

Omit the BP integration steps in that guide.

This might be a good place to start https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

I am trying to install Buddypress 1.2 with WordPress 2.9.1 (SU) & Buddypress Tempalte Pack. I am unable to activate Buddpress. It gives a Error 500: Internal server error. Please help.

There is a new plugin I just found called BuddyPress Rate Forum Posts — https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-rate-forum-posts/. I haven’t tried it yet, but I plan to. It allows thumbs up/down voting on Forum posts and in the process users receive “karma points” for the quality and frequency of their posts. So, in theory, spammers would get bad karma scores from other users, and you could search for users with bad karma and then delete them.

yeah … you can do a lot with that sort of thing if you just take a bit of time to learn it. This little tutorial really opened my mind to the possibilities – Frontend Admin Menu in WordPress – That guy’s website is great. Lots to learn.

At the moment, the classes are added to individual posts in a topic, by javascript. This results in extra server load, because wordpress has to do two whole startups for each such page. The trade-off is adding another apply_filter and a do_action to the theme, but as this plugin already benefits from one such proposed theme change, we can get two for the price of one.

Proposed change to buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/forum/topic.php, from line 26:

<ul id="topic-post-list" class="item-list">

<?php while ( bp_forum_topic_posts() ) : bp_the_forum_topic_post();  ?>

<li <?php

$topic_post_id = bp_get_the_topic_post_id();

echo "id='post-$topic_post_id' class='",

apply_filters('bp_single_forum_topic_post_css',array('class'=>'', 'post_id'=>$topic_post_id)),

"'";

?> >

<div class="poster-meta">

<a href="<?php bp_the_topic_post_poster_link() ?>">

<?php bp_the_topic_post_poster_avatar( 'width=40&height=40' ) ?>

</a>

<?php echo sprintf( __( '%s said %s ago:', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_the_topic_post_poster_name(), bp_get_the_topic_post_time_since() ) ?>

</div>



<div class="post-content">

<?php bp_the_topic_post_content() ?>

</div>



<div class="admin-links">

<?php

if ( bp_group_is_admin() || bp_group_is_mod() || bp_get_the_topic_post_is_mine() ) :

bp_the_topic_post_admin_links();

endif;

do_action( 'bp_single_forum_topic_links' , $topic_post_id );

?>

<a href="#post-<?php echo $topic_post_id; ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Permanent link to this post', 'buddypress' ) ?>">#</a>

</div>

</li>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</ul>

Proposed change to buddypress-rate-forum-posts/bp-rate-forum-posts.php, insert:

// modifies the css class for topics to highlight popular posts, and hide very unpopular ones

function rfp_css_class_for_post($args) {

global $rfp;

$class = $args['class'];

$post_rating = rfp_get_post_rating( $args['post_id'] );

$rfpclass = '';

error_log('rfp='.print_r($rfp,true));

if ( $post_rating == NULL )

$rfpclass = '';

else if ( $post_rating >= $rfp->superboost )

$rfpclass = 'rfp-superboost';

elseif ( $post_rating >= $rfp->boost )

$rfpclass = 'rfp-boost';

elseif ( $post_rating <= $rfp->hide )

$rfpclass = 'rfp-hide';

elseif ( $post_rating <= $rfp->diminish )

$rfpclass = 'rfp-diminish';

//error_log("in rfp_css_class_for_post rating '$post_rating' adding class '$rfpclass' to '$class' with args ".print_r($args,true));

return $class.($class?' ''').$rfpclass;

}

add_filter( 'bp_single_forum_topic_post_css', 'rfp_css_class_for_post', 3);



function rfp_echo_hidden_post_link($post_id) {

global $rfp;

$post_rating = rfp_get_post_rating( $post_id );

if ( $post_rating && $post_rating <= $rfp->hide )

echo "<span class='rfp-show' onclick='jQuery(this).remove();jQuery("#post-$post_id").removeClass( "rfp-hide" );'>Click to show this hidden post</span>";

}

add_action( 'bp_single_forum_topic_links', 'rfp_echo_hidden_post_link', 3);

And then the javascript section starting jQuery(document).ready( function() can be removed from buddypress-rate-forum-posts/js, and the corresponding section can be removed from the end of buddypress-rate-forum-posts/rate.php

I have installed BP on wordpress SU and already with some contents posted by admin & authors. but i need to use plugins like ajax-chat & photo album which do not support wordpress SU.

Must i migrate from wpsu to wpmu? how to do it?

Right now the difference is having more than one blog. Other than that BP is no different.

If you want user blogs use MU.

and may i suggest these peachy tools ~

Hi!

I’m having problems with uploading avatars! I checked admin area in wordpress to see if upload works properly and it does. My problem is here http://www.pandragon.com/pan_avatar.jpg

Also This is another silly question but is there a way I can only allow links to be links within my site? So if someone is talking about a game they can only link to a page in my site that has the game they are talking about?

This is using own theme template with Bpress.

Problem:

When I upload it tries getting image from this path:

“http://www.pandragon.com/home/pdks/public_html//avatars/2/avatar14885_1.jpg”

If i get rid of “home/pdks/public_html/” the avatar is there! = http://www.pandragon.com/avatars/2/avatar14885_1.jpg

How can I remove “home/pdks/public_html”

Firebug is a must, other is optional.

PC: my old slow Pentium III

Hey BNJ,

You’re lucky that this also happened to me!

Read up on what I did to overcome this:

https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15553?replies=7#post-89067

[EDIT]

You say you did a completely clean WPMU install, so I’m not sure if the link I posted above will help you.

Read up on this:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/

There’s also a plugin that makes it easier to modify the admin bar:

I haven’t tried it, but give it a shot and let us know what you think of it!

Forgot to list oEmbed for BuddyPress

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/

v0.6 coming on the weekend or a day or two after that.

My avatars are showing up, but the alignment is all vertical on the sidebar with no spacing . What I would love is an avatar block to show up. I’m also having the spacing issues (or lack of spacing) in my Members page.

I’m using the BuddyPress Template plugin on BuddyPress 1.2.1 for WordPress single user 2.9.2. This site is a test site for a client project and it’s pretty much the last hurdle. The website is http://workingonthisnow.com/MHA

I appreciate all the help! This forum is amazing.

hi there,

on my

– WP single user 2.9.2

– old wordpress self-customized magazine theme

– BP 1.2.1

– and more than 20 other wp plugins

the following BP plugins are running fine :

– BuddyPress Template Pack 1.0.2;

– BP Group Documents 0.2.5

– BP-TinyMCE 0.2.1

– External Group Blogs 1.2.1

(Just a small php error by delating a group, for the moment)

Guys, that’s a good job !

I’m contributing to a plugin called events-manager (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/events-manager/), but I’m not sure it works on BuddyPress or MU for that matter.

I’m working on a BP project at the moment that could use an events plugin, so I hope to have some time to upgrade it and adapt it to work on MU/BP in the near future. This would not be for a few weeks though…
