BuddyPress.org

I don’t think there’s any opensocial plugin for wordpress series. If someone could develop an opensocial widget plugin, where users can include their favorite opensocial gadgets (do they call it, opensocial container?)…that would be great.

There is a great plugin,

http://wpmudev.org/project/New-Blog-Defaults

Updated for WPMU 2.7 – New features include the ability to delete the Mr. WordPress initial comment, the ability to place the initial Hello World post in draft mode (so it won’t show up on the site), a bunch of new discussion settings for 2.7 users, the default large image size, and more. Allows a site admin to set new blog defaults via an administrative screen in the site admin area.

Here is the description of the album component thats said to be out in 09 sometime.

“Photo Albums

Members of a BuddyPress installation will be able to create their own photo albums. These albums can be shared with friends and groups.

Each member will be given a certain amount of space, which can be set by the site administrator. Albums and photos can be tagged. It will also be possible to browse public photos via photo tag pages that other members can browse (just as you browse blogs via tags on wordpress.com).

Photos can also be tagged to a group as mentioned previously in the group component overview.

Photos can be uploaded from a members computer, and will be re-sized accordingly using the built in WordPress image manipulation functions.”

Thebigk,

This isn’t a BuddyPress issue as the rich editing options and settings are handled through WordPress MU.

From what I could see on a quick search on https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/, the rich editor options will only affect new blogs (not ones already created). For older ones, you might have to manually update the setting in the database with a tool such as phpMyAdmin.

I’d suggest also digging around more in the MU forums for such terms as “rich editor” or “rich editing” to see if there are more threads on this topic.

GD2 image library is not installed on my site, but it was installed on my shared hosting. Is that needed?

Yes, it is required for uploading avatars and for uploading media to WordPress MU pages and posts.

Thanks for the post, John. As you point out, there are many ways to contribute to the WP community even if you lack made-programming skills.

Yes you can do that making a new plugin based on bbpress-live (the same andy has used for groups).

For the second question is always bbpress-live that help wordpress & bbpress to share data via xmlrpc

I would like to do this too.

What I did is make the buddypress home theme available to memberblogs. The only “catch” is that the member blog appears without any widgets set.

I am curious, if there is a way to “preset” the widgets on a userblog theme to a standard layout.

If member blogs could look like that, then I can launch my community.

Best,

Dainis

Has been updated to the ‘trunk 1281’ version of ‘FaceBuddy theme’ …

I am using WMPU2.7 Buddypress RC1 and bbPress 1.0-Alpha-6

Hopefully someone can help me out here, it’s been 10 days, I’ve searched, this forum, the WPMU forum and the bbPress forum, and I feel like I’m going round in circles!

bbPress and WPMU/ Buddypress work fine as ‘stand alone’ applications, the challenge I am having is integrating bbPress into Buddypress.

I have gone through the whole of Trent’s great topic (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=471) many times now, even removed bbPress and started all again.

What should on the face of it be a simple process, share users, share cookies, link via xmlrpc, seems incredibly complex, or else it’s the configuration of my hosting company that’s causing it!

I followed, Sam’s basic integration screencast (https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/basic-integration-screencast ), and all went smoothly, I can now logon and logoff from either WPMU or bbPress. I have also edited wp-config and bb-config as needed to use the same keys and to point to the same locations for the cookies.

However I can only access the admin/dashboard section in bbPress if I login in through bbPress, if I log in first via WPMU, the ‘admin’ link doesn’t work. I can access the dashboard of WPMU whichever way I log in.

In Sam’s screencast he talks about bbPress needing extra cookies and using bbpress-integration.1.0-alpha-4.1, I have tried with and without this plugin (which doesn’t appear to work when isntalled in mu-plugins/ ). I have also checked the cookies when logged in via bbPress and only see one extra cookie when actually in the dashboard / backoffice of bbPress.

Do I need this plugin?

Is this the way it should work, or should I be able to log in via WPMU and then go to bbPress and have access rights to the bbPress dashboard?

I have enabled xmlrpc and pingbacks in bbPress.

I have two key users “admin”, the main one created during wpmu install, which is also keymaster for bbPress and another with keymaster rights to bbPress and administration rights WPMU, it works the same for both.

Re Trent’s post, I have the plugin in my-plugins/buddypress-enable.php though there is some discussion as to wether it should be in my-plugins or bb-plugins – some guidance here please?

Also in step 6) where Trent says “Go into your main blog dashboard as the “site-admin” and go to the groups admin page.” I presume that with my configuration it should now read “Site Admin / bbPress forums”, If I click on the groups link, it gives me my list of already established groups to configure / edit. is my presumption correct?

I have configured the full path (with the “/”) and user details for bbPress in the “bbPress forums” option.

When I turn on Group Discussion, I don’t get a forum created in bbPress, nor can I post in ‘forum’ in the group in Buddypress, it comes up with “There was an error posting that topic.” not surprising really (no forum)

If I go to create a new group the box for “Enable discussion forum” is greyed out / missing replaced with a note that says” Attention Site Admin: Group forums require correct setup and configuration of a bbPress installation.”

Also from bbPress if I try to post I get “Warning: cannot yet handle MBCS in html_entity_decode()! in /home/sites/mydomain.com/public_html/forums/my-plugins/buddypress-enable.php on line 53 which I guess is because it’s not linked back. (I’m running MySQL/5.0.67 PHP/5.2.8 and PHP5/5.2.

Trent also suggested “check your bp_groups_groupmeta table” there was nothing in my data relating to forums.

I’ve tried it with and without the ” WordPress cookie integration speedup” and ” WordPress database integration speedup” in the bb-config.php file – it made no difference.

I’ve tried almost all I can think of,

@Burtadsit would your xmlrpc-test-rig be worth exploring? Do you have a download link for it?

“http://ourcommoninterest.org/downloads/xmlrpc-test-rig.zip” looks like it’s not there at the moment.

From here: http://umwblogs.org/wiki/index.php/Integrating_WPMu,_BuddyPress,_and_bbPress says:

You will need to install and activate the following plugins in your WPMu installation:

* bbPress Integration: “https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-integration/” This is essential, but keep in mind that this plugin is only useful if you are running bbPress version 1.0-alpha-4 or later.

* WPMU Enable bbPress Capabilities (0.1) “https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/wpmu-enable-bbpress-capabilities/” : Enables bbPress member capabilities when a user is created within WPMU. This allows immediate login as a ‘member’ after a user is created in WPMU.

Do I actually need either of these with my confguration?

@johnjamesjacoby said “In theory, to create a post from within the Group forum, you should not need cookie integration, because the XMLRPC request happens very ajax-like behind the scenes and does not require for you as a specific user to be logged into both platforms.”

So any help would be much appreciated, Thanks.

Also try using the object caching support:

Improving Performance

WordPress MU itself is not designed to run on a shared server, so you should really avoid that if you can.

Anybody looking into this adapting to BP?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/

Thanks for posting that. Since I’m not much of a coder, when I make suggestions on the trac report I tend to think I’m just being annoying. Nice to know that much of the time it’s actually helpful.

Just a quick look at your site. I guess it\’s slower than other bp sites I\’ve seen. Speed depends on a lot of factors. The plugins you are using can slow you down if they do a lot of db queries. The host you use is also a major determining factor as well as the type of hosting. DV is usually faster than shared hosting.

bp takes advantage of the standard wp object cache now. I’ve heard of significant performance improvements. Use the latest trunk to take advantage of this. See below on how to turn it on.

Hi, Im trying to conect my WPmu + BuddyPress with bbpress.

First I install the forum in a diferent database, then usign the settings I try to conect with wordpress but it show me this:

bbPress database error: [Unknown character set: ‘urf8’]

SET NAMES ‘urf8’

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/thbru/public_html/airmylove.com/forum/bbpress/bb-includes/db-mysql.php:130) in /home/thbru/public_html/airmylove.com/forum/bbpress/bb-includes/pluggable.php on line 192

And I don´t have any clue!, some had the same issue ?

Thanx for this forum!

@Halfpint, try integrate this for buddypress ?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/

How do you make it ,so that users sign-in from the home theme than wordpress login backend?

The WordPress theme controls the home page and all blog pages, the BuddyPress theme controls everything else.

You can set the number of blog you would like to allow.. its not mine, just wanna share it..
