BuddyPress.org

Hi Etiviti!

Thanks a lot for this – when I’m able to add the BBcode and buttons, it will be great!

I still have not managed to do it so your guidance is much appreciated.

Since I’m a newbie, let me explain step by step what I did:

1. After uploading the zip file and extracting on my /home1/fromvict/public_html/comunidade/wp-content/plugins BuddyPress directory, I activated the plugins.

2. After activation, I clicked On BuddyPress -> Forum Extras and followed the instructions to edit the theme on /home1/fromvict/public_html/comunidade/wp-content/themes/bp-default/groups/single/forum and add the ” <?php do_action( ‘bp_forum_extras_topic_links’ ) ?> ” code as instructed.

3. This gives me the successful message:

QUOTE

BBCode enabled.

This plugin will convert bbcode to html prior to database updates and is recommend for external bbPress installs.

You may enable _ck_’s bbcode buttons via the BBCode Settings page but this might conflict with other textarea editors installed (tinymce, markitup) on the forum textareas.

UNQUOTE

4. When I click on the bullet item just below, “BBCode”, I get the following:

QUOTE

Group Forums BBCode

BBcode Buttons

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bb_get_option() in /home1/fromvict/public_html/comunidade/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-forum-extras/bp-forum-extras-bbcode-admin.php on line 29

UNQUOTE

Any idea of what may be wrong? Thanks!

p.s. Just a (hopefully) constructive feedback: as a newbie, it took me some time to figure out that the groups/single/forum was located in the address I pointed out in step 2. Maybe other users like me have a similar experience. In that case, it would be good to have one simple phrase like “you have now to find where the theme is installed, generally it is a themes/bp-default/ folder under your BuddyPress installation”

I haven’t tried my mod site-wide on WPMU because it was only needed on the BP community-side for a site I was working on. If you’re not using WPMU, you should be okay.

Don’t activate the plugin site-wide if you want your user blogs made public. In this case, only activate the plugin on the blog where BP is activated.

Re: invites. What are you using for that? The modified plugin doesn’t block the register or activation pages, so if your invites plugin hooks into the register page, you should be fine.

@luccame

Here’s my modified code for Registered Users Only 2:

http://pastebin.com/x8MpfLW1

I didn’t spend much time on it, but it gets the job done.

I used this on WPMU and only activated the plugin on the blog where BP is installed; I don’t recommend activating this site-wide.

Unfortunately I have the same problem as the two of you. I am running fresh installations – newest WPMU and BP.

It was running all fine.

Now I (admin) get no email notifications at all – users do not receive any either. The activation emails are not being sent. The WPMU ones are not sent out either.

I am using a catch-all email on my email host to be able to sign up with different emails on the same domain.

First thing I was thinking was whether BP or WP was thinking all this signup from the same email domain was SPAM and therefore closing down signups from my IP or whatever.

I have searched for answers and found this: https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/13039

Apparently some hosts do not allow automated emails to be sent out.

(However, if my host do not allow this, how come it worked fine for two weeks?)

Only plugin I have installed is the cets-blog-defaults. I have tried to deactivate it, but it does not help.

This is really frustrating

I have this same problem – I know WPMU is sending me emails for other things, but BuddyPress related items do not get sent.

On new user registration, the final part of the registration process says “You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address.”

No email sent to either new user or admin, and new user isn’t in list of users in admin panel.

I have the same question on this particular issue too.

How to setup email activation for new user on single WP + buddypress, exactly like registrating with http://testbp.org/?

Another issue here, when somebody clicks on this: http://www.p3blog.net/members/gm-luke/

They get redirected to the home page.

Is the – in the username an issue? My permalinks structure is not default either.

4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WP/MU? If so, from which version? No

5. Was WP/MU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting. Yes

6. Which version of BP are you running? Version 1.2.1

7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version? No

8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? Yes

9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes? Using BuddyPress Template Pack

10. Have you modified the core files in any way? Yes, to fix the avatar upload issue:

bp-core-avatars.php line 389

Replace:

if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )

$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;

With:

if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )

$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;

else

$path = ABSPATH . $path;

…and report back?

Enlightenmental1, I’m not sure if you are a developer or not, but if so there is a function called bp_core_get_total_member_count() in bp-core.php. That function will return the total number of members. However, keep in mind that this may be different than the total number of registered users in WP if you didn’t have BP up and running from day 1. If you are going to hack the core WP admin screens, you should make sure to check that the BP plugin is activated before calling that function.

Ok, here’s where I’m at so far. I found out what BP uses to determine if a WP user is a BP user. There is NOT a separate table for BP users. A WP user is considered a BP user if that user has performed ANY “activity”. The BP Members page displays ONLY users that have done something in BP.

For example, when a new user registers, an activity is created saying that user registered. The standard WP user meta table (wp_usermeta) gets a record added for that User ID called “last_activity” and the meta value is the current date and time. Once a user has a last_activity record, then they are displayed in the BP Member directory. You’ll notice that in the Member directory it shows the total users, which should be your total number of WP users, but it also says “Viewing member 1 to x (of x active members”.

I have verified this by manually adding a record to the user meta table for one of my users that registered before I was running BP. That person now shows in the BP member directory.

Now I also see code in BP that attempts to update (or create if not found) the user’s last_activity meta record every 5 minutes while they are logged in. This is so that BP can show how long ago a particular user was “active” for various pages and widgets. I tested this by logging in as another WP user (non-BP user) and it added the record and now displays that person in the list. It also seems to have added that user’s full name in the BP custom profile field table (wp_bp_xprofile_data).

So without doing ANYTHING, our BP member directory will grow as users log in to our site. This probably isn’t a bad thing because if there are users that registered a long time ago for some reason and don’t plan on ever coming back, why list them in the directory?

However, I may still go ahead and try to figure out the best way to programatically add records for all the WP users. My site is new and since I only have 221 users, I’d like to have them added to BP, if for no other reason than for better testing of the plugin before I roll it out. I currently have BP activated, but have hidden all the menus so user’s don’t really know how to get to any of it. My site is at http://xtremelysocial.com if you want to check it out. Just go directly to a BP URL, such as http://xtremelysocial.com/activity/. I’m jacking around with adding BP support to my highly customized WP theme right now so if the formatting looks whacky, that’s why.

I’ll post an update if I work something out programatically to add all the WP users to the BP member directory.

I’m using wpmu 2.9.1 and buddypress 1.2.1. I’m having this issue after the upgrade to 1.2.1. I can create users in the back end, and they can create posts and pages, but if they sign up through the /register/ page, then they do not have an “Add New” option for posts or pages, even though the user is an Administrator on that blog, and has activated their account.

Is user_register the same point in the process as wpmu_activate_user?

I’m still on BP 1.1.3, still have to upgrade to 1.2…

I too have also tried to use the tutorial that carrotcreative has mentioned, but not managed to get it working. The reason for my problem though I believe is that I am trying to use BuddyPress 1.2.1 on a standalone installation of WordPress 2.9.2. The tutorial is referencing the hook “bp_core_activate_account” which as far as I can see is in turn calling the function “wpmu_activate_signup” which I am guessing doesn’t exist outside of MU.

I’ve tried using the “user_register” too hook onto and run the “update_usermeta” ,but that doesn’t appear to be working. Does anyone know what hook should be used for standalone WordPress in the absence of “bp_core_activate_account”

Thanks.

Have you tried to use your WPMU alone at first ?

I recommand you to test anything in WPMU (creating blogs, users, sending mails, etc)

If all is ok, install buddypress and deactivate all the 7 BP plugins (buddypress ->options) exept one . View if it’s working, activate the second, and so on…

Running single-user WP 2.9.2 / BP 1.2.1. Downloaded v. 1.1.4 of Tweetstream, but got this error when trying to activate it:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONST, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /var/www/vhosts/……/wp-content/plugins/tweetstream/twitter/EpiCurl.php on line 4

i’m unaware of a variable as i don’t believe there is a distinction b/t a registered user and an un-activated user in wpmu_create_user() but you might investigate bp-core-activation.php and wp-includes/wpmu-functions.php (ms-fuctions.php for 3.0-alpha for wpmu_create_user() & wpmu_activate_signup() to see if you can hook in there.

Code revised to give protection even if buddypress gets deactivated: adds a second line of defence by hooking a wordpress action too. I’ve assumed that there’s no conflict here, but I don’t know if these two hooks collide. It seems to work ok.

As far as I know wpmu_activate_user is a plugin action hook. Also mentioned here. It works for my function. Not sure what you need exactly.

I use a function with something like this:

function example_wp_usermeta($user_id, $password, $meta) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$uid = get_userdata($user_id);

$email = $uid->user_email;



$fullname = $meta[field_1];



...

update_usermeta( $user_id, 'nickname', $fullname );

...

}

add_action( 'wpmu_activate_user', 'synchro_wp_usermeta', 10, 3);

Deactivate BuddyPress and perhaps try manually clearing your user blogs table. Then reactivate.

We definitely need a plugin which will allow user to deactivate BuddyPress triggering automatic deactivation of all BP-related plugins/components AND auto-revert theme to WP Default Theme

Grosbouff, are you aware of the Geo Mashup plugin. Couldn’t you leverage that?

I installed and activated Geo Mashup site-wide, but then it asks all the member blogs for their own Google API code in the wp-admin, which is annoying and will confuse many users.

Haven’t had time to test your plugin yet, but if it does the same as Geo Mashup, I’d rather have a cleaned up BP-ready version of Geo Mashup.
