BuddyPress.org

I have the same problem here. after the deep dive installation the Forum part of buddypress stoped to work. Any idea why?

I followed this tutorial for the deep integration

Thanks for any help!

@vincole I am also a BuddyPress convert too but I also was WordPress fan back before version 2. BuddyPress has come a very LONG way in a very short period of time. Because of the extensible nature of WordPress no two install need be the same. It’s an awesome piece of code!

Now in 100% honesty THE ONLY comparable software out there is SocialEngine. It’s funny though because they are in the midst of a big rev too, and I know that they are really looking at BuddyPress and looking at ways to out run and gun it. I would say if you are looking for an alternative to BuddyPress that is really the only good option.

I too have abandoned Joomla for the warmth that is WordPress. Joomla is ALL OVER the place, and we payed for the Joomsocial plugin..

Use this plugin

Here’s a WPMU / BuddyPress / bbPress integration tutorial:

I’ve used this a few times myself.

Do you have the turbo plugin installed on your wordpress-mu?

Sounds like it’s caching if you have to repeat.

There is a multilingual plugin for BP available which does this:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-multilingual/

I don’t know if it’s compatible with the BP 1.1 or the upcoming 1.2. I need this as well so we should look into it then

Also take a look at this ticket I made today: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1593

If the “supergroup” feature would be implemented it would mean that you could make different “homes” for different countries/regions and still have a central homepage where all sitewide content is shown.

WordPress stores posts in database tables of the form wp_x_posts, where x is the blog id. Comments are in wp_x_comments. Time created should be the last column.

Have you looked at the timezone settings for the two blogs that are causing the problems? WordPress > Dashboard > General.

Anyone that can make an ordinairy wordpress template, can make a bbpress template, their theming is almost the same.

Hey MrMaz,

Sorry to hear about the drive

I am failrly new to bp and your plugin looks to be a winner. I am however encountering a few issues – mainly with the display of the links.

The site can be seen – http://6×9.co.za/

Specifically – the voting options don’t appear to show or work.

Do nothing for me

Currently running on WordPress MU 2.8.6 and the latest BP release.

ANyways keep up the excellent work. This looks to be an awesome plugin.

Some pointers (check the other two threads in the forum directory 1st page for more info):

1) BP supports single WP in the latest trunk – http://trac.buddypress.org. Currently still in development but is due out fairly soon.

2) BP uses bbpress forums internally. If you don’t require the extra features of BP I’d suggest just using bbpress

1. BP trunk already supports 2.9.1, and 1.2 will as well.

2. BP trunk works very well on WordPress 2.9.1 (not MU)

3. Don’t expect WP3.0 until at least June, if not later. The WordPress dev cycle is aiming for new versions every six months.

r-a-y’s been paying attention.

I would recommend staying away from the trunk version of WordPress (single) at the moment. The WPMU trunk currently contains the most up to date WPMU 2.9.1 version, it just hasn’t been officially released yet.

The easiest way would be to create a WordPress page with the slug “subblogs”, applying a page template with the code you listed above.

Tutorial on creating WordPress page templates (if you need it):

https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates

I’m almost certain that the problem has to do with items being tagged with timestamps from the future. The function bp_core_time_since() in bp-core.php returns the message [Use GMT Timezone] when the timestamp on an item is greater than the value returned by the core PHP function time().

The timestamp for blog comment and for blog entrie activity comes from the timestamp attached to those items in the databases corresponding to the individual blogs. That means that the timestamps on blog entries in at least some wp_x_posts and wp_x_comments blogs are incorrect by at least a few hours. I don’t know how this would happen. You can set timezones on a blog-by-blog basis, but I assume that WP ignores timezone settings when stamping new entries and looks only at GMT unix time.

I’m not sure what to recommend. Go into the database and look at the timestamps on some of those rogue comments and entries. Verify that they are indeed incorrect. If they are, then you’re looking at a WordPress problem. Try making sure that those blogs are set to the correct time zone (Dashboard > General, I think) and see if the problem persists.

You can’t; this is a result of the blog IDs being set by an auto-increment primary key integer in the MySQL database. You could do something like export the database, drop the table (wp_sites, or something), create the table again and re-import your data.

However I am not sure of the consequence on WordPress of this being done so not recommended unless you have time to check all the tables and update references where needed.

@wordpressfan Are you looking for an events plugin thad adds not only events and a calendar but lets people rsvp and “attend” events? If so, You can use Erwin’s http://www.erwingerrits.com/?page_id=799 or head on over to the wpmu.org crew and throw down money for theirs (not an endorsement since the make you pay without even a test drive, not my game)

I got exactly the same problem, it doesn’t matter whether it’s set up with sub domains or directories, it still won’t work

My install is wordpress mu 2.8.6 with buddypress 1.1.3

Everything worked fine before I added buddypress, as far as I know of.

I didn’t upgrade from previous versions, it was a complete fresh install

I haven’t activated any other plugins or themes or changed any core files

All links apart from the Home link is reporting 404 error

My host is names.co.uk

No problem with your post, I just don’t think anyone has gotten around to answer yet

I think this capability is something important that is missing in bp groups. The concept of group and its integration with bbpress are certainly expanding the users interaction within bp groups; yet the privacy of groups discussion is not assured.

Firstly, is there a quick fix to autohide all bp groups forum from bbpress forum? I have not enabled group forum support because of this issue; and currently only using a separate install of bbpress integrated with wordpress as a place for general forum discussion. Hiding the whole forum is certainly not a totally acceptable solution especially when there are thousands of existing topics that are already there and not associated with any groups.

Secondly, what is the code to check if the logged user is a member of a group with forum id that can be done from bbpress with deep integration; this could be added in bbpress to limit access to group topics where the logged in user is not a member.
