ParticipantThank you gentlemen.
I would love to get my theme working via official means. I’ve tried for a few weeks now to follow Jeff’s instructions (which he has kindly provided to me for the third time above) with no luck.
Because all my bp CSS and formatting is written for the now deprecated bpskeletonmember theme, following the “I’ve used a WordPress theme for my blog with the default BuddyPress member theme†instructions from the above link results in a member theme without my CSS after I delete the bp-themes directory. That’s why I was asking how to salvage the deprecated theme. I’m a little desperate now as I only have until weeks end to work on this.

ParticipantI wish it was that simple but, it doesn’t work like that for our site. Our main page is located on a subdomain outside of WordPress it self. When people refer to our main domain then they are redirected to home.subdomain.com. From there they can log in. When new visitors try to register they can gain access to the entire site through this page.

KeymasterI repeat myself: if you have come up with a patch which improves I18n in WordPress, then create a ticket on the core WP trac so people can look at it.

John James Jacoby
KeymasterBuddyPress, as it stands will work perfect for a single domain setup, like 99% of the typical audience will predictably use it for, and for wp.com if bits and pieces of it are used for that purpose.
@anointed, this isn’t a “flaw” in the software so much as it is BP floating on top of MU’s infrastructure. With any of the multi-site plugins, when I look at my site-wide users, I still see ALL users registered from ALL domains/blogs/etc… When I look at a particular blogs users, then of course all that exists there are the users of that blog. Because a “site” is just another “blog” the terms here mean the same thing. 1 central user base, and all users rotate around them.
There might be a few hacks and methods to counter this behavior, but they involve checking user-meta for a list of blogs that user “belongs” to above and beyond roles and caps, or adding additional tables to route users around… It just is a strange setup and something that needs to be built custom for that particular need.
Think of how all the *press.org sites work. One central user base, yet you can login to all of bbpress.org, wordpress.org/com, buddypress.org, and all of their respective tracs and blogs, etc… That’s the same thing that BuddyPress does. The MU multi-site plugin does something a little extra, that none of the other platforms really do, and that’s allow multiple domains to use the same installation… bbPress has the power to do something similar, but no one has really explored how to do it yet, but even in that case you’re probably still sharing user tables and just mapping roles and caps again…
Am I making sense yet? haha

ParticipantI gave up stumbling in darkness and had to remake the blogs in order that they are seen and recognised by Buddypress. A process not helped by WordPress not exporting all information in its admin Export feature.
Serious omission in the code here folks …
November 24, 2009 at 2:53 am #57327In reply to: Existing blog doesn't show up in BuddyPress
ParticipantThe only way to fix it is to delete the older blogs and remake them manually.
Of course, for some crappy reason, WordPress does not actually export a complete archive when you use the admin ‘Export’ function.
This means the fixing a lot of details manually, e.g. Links/blogroll are not archived and all image addresses need to be corrected individually.

Ron Rennick
ParticipantThe new version is now available at https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/buddymatic.
Also, if you have a minute, can you give it a rating. Someone gave it a rating of 1.
November 23, 2009 at 10:39 pm #57304In reply to: Can you multi-site BuddyPress?
KeymasterBlogs can have their own users in MU; they always can. The line gets blurry when you start talking about “sites” though, because a “site” is just another blog where users have roles and caps… The WordPress dashboard doesn’t really make this a clear thing visually, but at the end of the day you still only have 1 users table, regardless of how many sites or blogs you setup and how many users have what roles/caps on which blogs/sites.
Dizzy yet?
Jon Breitenbucher
ParticipantI’d recommend SB and MB for Single blog and Multi blog. Like Andrea said, it has always kind of been irksome that it was called WordPress Multi User when it really allowed multiple blogs.
November 23, 2009 at 12:12 pm #57265In reply to: Which Plugins to Use for BP?
Jean-Pierre Michaud
Participantactually you have two situations here:
1- add plugins to your Buddypress front-end
2- add plugins for your members blogs
if you need plugins for your front-end, check that they are compatible with buddypress but also read the HowTo, because some of them need to be activated sitewide, some not.
if you need plugins for your members blogs, you have to check if these plugins are compatible with WordPress…
notes: do not install plugins that are morethan 300 days old, for safety and compatibility. what works with WPMU will work within Buddypress as well.
and btw, yes, it’s a use it breake it situation in the WordPress community, because not all plugins are coded by pros, and they are not tested before added to the repository. for each plugins you have rating and comments, so read them.

ParticipantI’m talking about that list of bp only plugins. But in fact currently it lists all the wordpress plugins with “buddypress” tag, no matter if the plugin is really for buddypress or not (like Mingle for example).

ParticipantPermalinks were set to a custom setting, so I switched to default and now everything is working just fine. Thanks for your help!
I’ve been using regular WordPress for a while, but MU and Buddypress have me kind of flummoxed.

Participantbtw,try to re save the permalink ,and It will be hopefully solved.
try this
Dashboard->settings->permalink
and just click save.
Go and check,this should solve your problem.In WordPress Mu 2.8.x I have seen this as a common issue and after re saving the permalink ,the problem went away most of the times.
November 22, 2009 at 9:06 pm #57222In reply to: Add extra sections to members
ParticipantYes, you are right.You need to create a custom component.
here is a great way to start.
Download the skeleton component from here and have a look, you will see ,how can you do it.

ParticipantThanks Jeff, that was a great link.. I solved my problem, I wish I could say what I did for the ones that will have this problem in the future, but there is no single solution. Mine worked with changing wp_blogs main blog URL, re-activating the theme from admin, and rest of the links didn’t work so i did a .htaccess redirect for them…
i wish wordpress would come up with a move script like they have install… it’s very tiresome to debug everything..
cheers.
November 22, 2009 at 2:50 pm #57207In reply to: Adding the admin bar to a php file.
ParticipantOk, we moved it out of wordpress onto a sub domain(e.g. home.mysite.com). This seems to work for right now. Some other coding is required. We just need to figure out how to add the admin bar. The page is a php page with all the html in that file and some php functions. So, there isn’t a header file or a footer file. The article for adding the bar to external applications won’t work for this. At least I can’t get it to work. Thanks for any help.

r-a-y
KeymasterSo you’re saying you want to use the BuddyBar outside of WordPress?
If so, this article helped me:
http://dev.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2009/10/12/displaying-the-buddypress-admin-bar-in-other-applications/
I used this on a Moodle install and it worked.

Is your homepage powered by WordPress? If so, the answer will be much easier.
Let us know what your setup is.

ParticipantStandard bbpress installations have their own admin panel. Since bbpress is actually a totally seperate software it just has a nice extra that it can intergrate with wordpress. So if you installed it manually and did not use the already made bbpress in buddypress, then you can make and administrate your bbpress from its admin panel. If you used the bbpress in buddypress then you won’t have a handy admin panel.

KeymasterNovember 21, 2009 at 5:09 am #57155KeymasterI dug through the folder structures to find that the old Plugins folder in wp-content was /plugins/ while the 2.8.6 folder is /mu-plugins/
The plugins folder should always be /plugins/.
/mu-plugins/ are for plugins you want to run sitewide; these plugins are automatically activated; you generally never put regular WP plugins in there!
I suggest starting your install over:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WPMU
If you’re upgrading, restore your backup DB and your previous MU files and read this:
November 20, 2009 at 7:56 pm #57127In reply to: Filter activity by blog (or group)?
KeymasterIf you’d like to associate a blog with a group, you could use Marius Ooms’ BP Groupblog plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/
Most likely the group filter will pick up the blog as a group.
—
There’s also Andy’s External Feeds plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/external-group-blogs/
Which you can use to grab an RSS feed and it will populate the group activity and site-wide activity streams.

About the other questions, I don’t have time to delve into it!
Maybe a mod or someone else can help you.

Hi,
In wordpress, a user does not need to sign up in order to leave a comment on a post. With Buddypress, the user does need to sign up. Is there a way to not require a person to sign up just to leave a comment on a post? People who wants to leave a comment on a post does not necessariy need be a member of buddypress.
Any advise?
