Hi,

I have a wordpress blog that I recently integrated wishlist membersite software to enable it to become a membership site. Last night I installed Buddypress as it allows me extra functionality and it’s exactly what I needed

However, one of the problems I have is that when it installs some of the settings clash with where I already have things – for example I already have a registration page.

Does anyone know the best way to integrate both or is it a case of one of the other ?

Thanks,

I have installed Buddypress onto my wordpress site but this also integrates wishlist membership site software.

I managed to create a new group and tested it with a couple of dummy users. The only problem is that where it says “what’s heppening in “x” group, although I can enter a comment there seems to be no way of posting it . Do I need to change any settings ?

Thanks

Hello all,

So my php and programming skills are sub par at best, but with enough head butting I feel I can get done most of I set out to accomplish. Any help or point in the right direction would be much appreciated.

So I am creating a website where users can create “bucket lists” (of things they want to do before they die). I would like to have each user’s profile show their unique bucket list, but also have their bucket list items post on a separate page that compiles a giant list of every members bucket list items. The reason I want to have the items compile on a separate page is because I want the members to have the ability to “vote” on the best items on this compiled list. Currently I am using WordPress 3.2.1 and Buddypress 1.5.1.

Is the best way to do this creating function that posts the user’s Member Profile Data to a separate table in my data base? If so how should I go about doing this? Any help getting pointed in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, the infamous “There was an error saving group details. Please try again” when attempting to create groups appeared on my Buddypress installation. I’ve searched for a fix for this error for probably 2days to no avail in these forums and in Google. After teetering on the borderline of insanity and after a bunch of var_dumps and searching, I was able to locate the issue and fix it (for my site at least ).

This may be different depending on your site and installation, but it is something to take a look at;

In the file wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-classes.php, take a look at your data inserts starting somewhere around line 98;

In the original /bp-groups-classes.php file, there is/are only 7 table columns defined, see below

$sql = $wpdb->prepare(
“INSERT INTO {$bp->groups->table_name} (
creator_id,
name,
slug,
description,
status,
enable_forum,
date_created
) VALUES (
%d, %s, %s, %s, %s, %d, %s
)”,
$this->creator_id,
$this->name,
$this->slug,
$this->description,
$this->status,
$this->enable_forum,
$this->date_created
);

Depending on what plugins you may be using, this file may have changed and been modified to include additional table columns. In my particular issue, I noticed that there was a “details” column that was added by one of my plugins, when this happened the number of columns changed, but there was never a new format value added for that column.

(For those of you who are not coders and are not sure what format values are, those are those little “%d” or “%s” values. They basically tell the database what kind of info are in those columns; d – data, s – string, or f – float. For more information read over this page http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb, and possibly read up on data types in PHP.)

To fix my issue, I simply added another format value and I was able to submit successfully without any issues. If you are running into this problem, I would suggest taking a look at this file and comparing it to a default Buddypress file to see what changed, and then make the necessary modifications.

Hope this helps someone and is useful information.

I apologize on any inconvenience this may cause and I’ve done some searching without any proper answers. Anyway, I’ve recently came into possession of a domain name. However, this domain name isn’t classified as real and can only be used for domain parking. Well, I’ve set that up and all pages currently work fine. Members, Activity, etc all show up fine. However, when you click “create a new account” or try to login with one that you’ve already own, it will redirect you to the home page. Odd thing is, upon hovering over these links, it displays my subdomain. If I happen to visit my subdomain’s site, it will let me register and login fine, so I assume that the reason for redirection is the fact that they link to the subdomain and not the current domain. If i manually type in, say, .com/register, it will take me to the registration page under my current domain. So, I’m wondering what exactly do I need to edit to change the links for the registration and login pages? i’ve already tried creating new pages for activate and register but that don’t do any good. If I view the pages through the admin panel, they show the actual domain of my site and not the subdomain unlike the home page.

I’m running WordPress 3.2.1. and BuddyPress 1.5.1.
