Topic: From Latin1 to UFT8 – Issues
Hi
I’ve built a website for teaching Irish, which has á é í ó ú in it’s alphabet (you probably know where this is going). I saw that my database was set to UTF8_general_ci but noticed when creating post, the post cut off after an accented letter.
I then followed the steps to convert the DB to latin1 and changed the ‘Reading’ under the WordPress dashboard to latin1 and this solved the problem for posts.
However, it seems that the Buddypress Posts and AJAX functionality ignore the latin1 characterset from WordPress as it displays the accents as strange characters. E.g. tést is appearing as tést when I post something from a group ‘Whats new in Group A’.
If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly apperciated as since its a language website, these characters (á é í ó and ú for Irish) are very important.
Thanks
DónalI found a nice integration of an announcement plugin for WordPress that works well with buddpress…
Plugin is Announcer: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/announcer/Mod is this: edit post-form.php and add this after the ` `:
`
<?php if(function_exists('announcer')) { announcer();} // insert for announcer plug
?> `Then in the admin… just choose the choose the “I will place myself option…”
Here is a quick pict:
http://gyazo.com/adbdd55ee44f08cb35cae80e333f999e.pngLet me apologize up front if some of these questions are basic, I’m getting ready to tackle my first BuddyPress project but have been developing for WordPress for the last few years so I’m hopeful it will be quick to pick up for me.
I know that there is some work required to make any theme BuddyPress ready and I do a lot with custom WordPress themes so using an out of the box BuddyPress theme is out for me.
Any way the question I have is this, I’ve created a framework that I use for my theme development then just create WP child themes off of that, if I wanted to make one of those child theme BuddyPress ready could I just copy the files from the BP Theme Pack and adjust the HTML to fit my existing structure? Or is there more I have to do other then that?
Also Is there an unstyled BuddyPress theme that I could then style, like say the Sandbox WordPress theme?
Topic: Flexible Sidebar Number
I’m developing a theme and would like a help / opinion.
I’m planning to allow users to choose through a menu page the buddypress page template (left sidebar, no sidebar, two sidebar or right sidebar). This is easy in wordpress, because you just use the templates page, but buddypress doesn´t use this function.
Does anyone know how I can do this without profoundly alter the page templates of buddypress?
I figured a way through variables ($), but it would change both the sidebar.php on all the index.php buddypress and probably problems may arise with the use of plugins using this method.
I have an Issue with the Autocomplete Function of bp-messages:
The AJAX Function always puts in rows with crap content into the autocomplete list, when it doesn’t find real users:
– As 10 is the Max Number of Users showd it always generates 10 Rows
– If it finds Users, it fills the first rows with the users
– the rest is filled with the first rows of the html body! why this?!the generated Autocomplete div looks like this (with one actual found member):
<div style="display: block; position: absolute; width: 275px; top: 519.8px; left: 225.5px;" class="ac_results">
<ul style="max-height: 250px; overflow: auto;">

</div>you can look it yourself at http://www.entrepreneurship.de/campus but the site is in german…
the fun thing is, that, on another install, which is the development state of the website and very similar, but not same, the function works without the mentioned bug.
Main differences of the installs:
– Dev: Multisite WP3.01 Install, the Buddypress is installed in a “user blog”, Live: Single Site WP 3.01 install
– Different Servers / Server ConfigurationsInstallation Details of the Systems:
– WP 3.01, BP 1.2.6
– Buddypress childtheme with almost all template files changed because of theme translation (but the theme is the same on both installs and also i tried to use standard theme which didn’t help)
– Several Plug-Ins installed (But I deactivated all Plug Ins which didn’t solve the problem)I already tried to see myself through tje ajax functions of the autocomplete but i didn’t find anything that gave me a hint how to solve the problem…
would be great if you came up with an idea how to solve this problem. if you need more information about the installation details, tell me!
cheers, oli
Why wait? I think it could be tossed in easily with a if has nav and use the old li links as an else. It’s not like it’s some crazy functionality, it’s built into wordpress and added with minimal fuss.
If it’s not in 1.2.7 I’ll write a tut.
1.3 probably won’t be around for months.I’m a novice using WP 3, installing Buddypress and having 2 permalink issues:
Question#1) I need to change from the default permalink structure. What is better?
a) /%post_id%/%post_name%
b) /post/%post_name%/%post_id%/
I prefer (a) because it’s shorter and avoids the structure issue which would happen if I begin with just the postname. But the wordpress site says the following about it “Some people recommend /%post_id%/%post_name%/ which works for performance reasons but others recommend against it because it is unfriendly to users in the many contexts in which users interact with URLs.” But it doesn’t give any more details (nor do the links)
#2) I need to redirect posts. Although in various places its says WP does this if I am migrating from the default, on my site it doesn’t. So I installed Deans Permalink Migration plugin but I need to put in the code for the default permalink structure. Can someone tell me what that is?
Thanks,

Topic: Google maps/ file sharing
I am starting a community site for architects, and I know there is a google maps plugin out there: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/mappress-google-maps-for-wordpress/ – Can anyone give me feedback on this plugin? Is it possible to allow users to add their own map icons/destinations? I want users to be able to add their own destinations, and at the same time upload images and other files associated with that destination.
Basically, I want a search page that looks like the homepage of google maps, and when someone searches a destination, all of the files/images uploaded from different users pop up. On the left hand sidebar, the destination name will show with a list of files. People will be able to download and comment on these files as well.
Any feedback is appreciated! Thanks!
