pandragon
MemberHi!
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”

You’re lucky that this also happened to me!
Read up on what I did to overcome this:

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

ParticipantUpdate:
I got all the categories to show by reverting the install to list all permalinks in the default format. This is not good for SEO or good looking urls but at least half my categories aren’t missing.
I tried this fix: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/328469?replies=3 and I got nothing but errors.
I’ve also turned off WP SuperCache to see if this will help.

paulhastings0
ParticipantI’m using the default theme provided with BP 1.2.1 for the main site.
At one point while I was still deciding which theme to use on the front I ran Andy’s BuddyPress Template Pack on another theme but then decided to just stay with the default theme in BP 1.2.1 . It was after that I noticed the gravatar/avatar problem. But maybe the problem existed before then?? I don’t know since I didn’t check.
As I already mentioned I’ve already deleted BP 1.2.1 manually and then manually reinstalled it but still to no avail.
Do you think it might be something with the default theme?

ParticipantMy 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.

Participanthi 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 !

ParticipantAlthough I’d love to support previous versions of BuddyPress, I simply don’t have the time to test against them. I’ll make sure it works great with 1.2 and above though.
@dwpers If you’re using the old default theme, maybe consider upgrading to 1.2 and using the Backwards Compatibility Plugin? There’s plenty of people on the forums who can help if you find the upgrade tricky…

ParticipantI’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…

ParticipantJust a quick one thought I would point out to, I have managed to integrate sexy bookmarks into the actual link see here:
http://www.wpin.me/links/whats-coming-in-wordpress-3-0-features
How did I do it?
Basically opened up the following file
wp-content/plugins/buddypress-links/themes/bp-links-default/single/link-header.php
In the link-header.php find:
<div id=”item-meta”>
<span class=”domain”><?php bp_link_url_domain() ?> –</span>
<?php bp_link_description() ?>
<?php do_action( ‘bp_link_header_meta’ ) ?>
</div>
and insert <?php if(function_exists(‘selfserv_sexy’)) { selfserv_sexy(); } ?> in between
<?php bp_link_description() ?> and <?php do_action( ‘bp_link_header_meta’ ) ?>
Thats it select the bookmark sites you want and ta da!
my first contribution, I feel giddy.

xspringe
ParticipantThere’s also some discussion going on about it here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/attachments-for-activity-items
I strongly doubt it will have any effect at all. Did you know even something as basic as the hyperlink has been patented? Just this website alone probably already infringes on dozens and dozens of existing software patents. Software companies generally don’t go after people who infringe on their patents until they might become a credible threat to their business model.
Furthermore, these kind of patents are all invalid outside of the US. So in a worst case scenario wordpress & buddypress would have to move some of their business to Europe. I highly doubt it would ever come to that though.

KeymasterThe only media options right now are third-party plugins.
BP-Gallery seems to be close to a release for v1.2 – http://buddydev.com (paid plugin)
Kaltura for BP hasn’t been updated to v1.2. I would suggest you contact them for an update:
February 26, 2010 at 6:52 am #65670xspringe
ParticipantI wouldn’t be too worried about this. Any software (inc. wordpress) is filled with functionality that has been patented before one way or another (and the facebook news feed patent includes many elements that have been patented by other companies before). Most of these patents have so much prior art that they would never hold up in court. If wordpress core and plugin devs had to check for existing patents for every single function they added wordpress development simply woudn’t be possible and grind to a halt.
A second issue is that software patents aren’t valid outside of the US, so if you’re really paranoid about this kind of thing you can always host your site in Europe.

ParticipantWell, to be honest that pretty much sums up CSS doesn’t it – ‘just way too much css tweaking required’. Every site I’ve ever developed has required a fair bit of CSS tweaking / hacking / fighting!
As someone who hacked BP1.1 into a premium WP theme (and boy was that a headache!) I actually found that in comparison, BP 1.2 with @andy’s BP Template Pack was a dream. Granted, to get it exactly how you want it takes a little work, but I managed to update a new WP theme in under an hour! Then gradually bringing in BP css from the default theme along with some changes of my own has pretty much worked for me.
The default structure / css is never going to work for everyone – I think it has to follow WP to a point, after all, they’re related apps – but look at it this way: at leastyou haven’t had to create a whole social networking plugin!
@timnicholson – let me know if / when you’ve knocked together the tutorial and I’ll throw in any useful tips that I come across as I finish my own mods.

ParticipantI agree that this is more difficult than it should be. I’m finding that when I try following the buddypress codex on this with using @imports, the admin bar works fine, but pulling in the default theme css screws up a lot of things. I’ve found that just grabbing the default buddypress theme’s css sytles that are in addition to the core wordpress ones is working better.
I really think that the buddypress default theme should do a better job at segregating core wordpress css tags from the buddypress specific ones. The buddypress-specific css styles seem to be too dependend on the core wordpress ones. For example, core wordpress typically removes the dots from
- entries and the wordpress sub-nav tabs assume that’s already done. I’d like to see the buddypress specific tabs assign all the css properties they need so those can be pasted into an existing theme with ease.
While I’m making progress, the time involved to get it perfect is too high. Not to mention buddypress really adds a lot of overhead and slows down my site. I haven’t even installed the bbpress forums yet as I’m scared to death of what that will do to site performance. I’m on a dedicated server, too, and its just not good.
I’m thinking about writing a tutorial on my site http://xtremelysocial.com to document what I’m doing to help others with this. However, regarless of what tutorials get published, in the end there is just way too much css tweaking required.

paulhastings0
ParticipantI just upgraded to BP 1.2.1 (from BP 1.1.3) last night and noticed that right away. In fact I created a brand new user, logged in as them, and then deleted my account… only to find out that I wasn’t logged out by the deletion. So I manually logged out… and then logged back in as the deleted user. All of my activities on the site had been erased but the user was definitely still there.
I had to go into the admin dashboard and delete the user from the WordPress MU Users list.
So I guess this is a bug then?

ParticipantI have to say that I’m glad to see that the community around BP appears to be very strong, and that’s good thing. I’ve always tried very hard to advocate for open source, and have done so for over a decade now. I plan on advocating more for WordPress, BuddyPress, and bbPress, as well as the WordPress Foundation through my Autism site. I take exception to those who talk about being able to tell when a site is based on WordPress. Of course, its up to the designer of the site whether or not they will fly that flag, and I’ve long ago decided that I would let everyone know what I was using to get things done. I’ve been running Mobodojo on WP since 1.2.
Sadly, though, I’ve been growing accustomed to the automagical nature of WP and have stopped using themes which need to be tweaked every time the code base gets updated (though Atahualpa and Arras are stunningly powerful themes) as well as counting on plugins to do everything I need. The deficit lies in the fact that I’m hopeless when it comes to coding. Sure, I can edit existing PHP and even make it work 13% of the time, and I’ve been hacking around HTML for years, but there are things I need to have my site do, and so I’ll need to buckle down and either find out a way to do it myself or pass along my passion to someone (or someones) who have the skills.
I realize that my opening post sounded upset, and I was, but that frustration should never have been vented on the BP community. I do thank you all for making some mild fun of me and, otherwise, being very cordial and helpful. I’m also pleased with myself to have managed to spark a little bout of debugging

I tried that but the registration form doesn’t change and all and when I click the Buddypress button in the site admin it redirects me to my homepage. The title of the plugin sounds good, but if it worked that would be better.

ParticipantYou have to go inot the BP folders that are added to the theme, and wherever there’s a “content” div, match that up to the HTML markup in the original theme.
If it;s overly complicated in the theme – yeah, pain in the ass. (which is why there’s unfinished themes on my hard drive
)

Participant@Andrea_r it was globalpress bought it from themeforest pain in the bum to do.
I basically follow the steps as in the Buddypress template pack, however I have had issues with matching up the div and content classes / containers.
I know that once I have actually done it once, I will be able to do it again but its a nightmare, I think the theme is overly complicated.
