WordPress MU

BuddyPress is out !!!

http://buddypress.org/

BuddyPress will transform a vanilla installation of WordPress MU into a social network platform.

Very pretty :)

What do you mean "BuddyPress is out !!!"?
Finished and ready to use or...?

There is code in the repository, and it's been opened to the public now. Other than that, it says nothing of a release, nor is there a download for the group of plugins.

Straight from Andy, here is the latest.

I was playing with it on a test install and we better wait for a release ;)

'nor is there a download for the group of plugins"

unless you look in trac... ;P

There isn't a release yet, still lots of development to be done.

You can check out the latest development copy from the SVN repo:

svn co http://svn.buddypress.org/trunk

You can check that out directly to the mu-plugins folder, or copy the contents into the mu-plugins folder of your MU installation.

Obviously this is still in active development so don't expect it to work correctly until specific components are declared complete. You can keep up to date with bugs (and report them!) at: http://trac.buddypress.org

very cool work andy! looking forward to the final release.

I've added a page to the trac wiki with instructions on installing BuddyPress:

http://trac.buddypress.org/wiki/installing-buddypress

I just got a page with some file names...

Revision 11: /trunk/bp_groups

* ..
* bp_groups.class.php
* bp_groups.create.php
* bp_groups.edit.php
* bp_groups.invites.php
* bp_groups.join.php
* bp_groups.list.php

Powered by Subversion

You should be accessing it with a subversion client like http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ (for windows).

Hi, apeatling, I installed it according to http://trac.buddypress.org/wiki/installing-buddypress

but I got a blank page after login, I mean the http://domain.com/wp-wp-login.php got HTTP 500. could you help? thanks!

For anyone else having BuddyPress installation issues I wrote up a detailed blog post on the proper steps to installing BuddyPress here:

http://webdevstudios.com/blog/how-to-install-buddypress-and-common-troubleshooting-tips

I'm using the most recent trunk for Buddy Press and I'm installing it on WPMu 2.6.5 (a test site) at http://blogpeoria.org

For some reason, the stylesheets don't seem to be loading when I go into the Members area. I've tried it in different browsers.

Any ideas?

Yes, check your permissions settings. I had this same problem and posted in the BuddyPress forums. Andy responded with this:

It's entirely permissions. Make sure everything in the theme and any JS/CSS in buddypress is 755.

See if that works.

OK ... I did that. All theme files and JS/CSS files are now 755. Same problem.

When I look at tghe page source, I see the following

<link rel='stylesheet' href='http://blogpeoria.org/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core/css/structure.css?ver=2.6.5' type='text/css' media='' />

	<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://blogpeoria.org/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

I tracked every single CSS file mentioned here. All are now set to 755.

755 everything in buddypress-member/css/

I have done this. I just got done manually checking every single file folder withinbuddypress-member/css/

Is it possible I have this folder in the wrong location?

I have it located in `/public_html/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/css/'

The problem is, this is returning a 404, and it shouldn't be:

http://blogpeoria.org/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/css/loader.php

The folder is in the right location.

It's right there. I just now deleted it and uploaded again, with the same 404 message and with style sheets not working.

I have uploaded a new version of loader.php from the trunk.

<?php 

/* Load the WP environment */
require_once( preg_replace('%(.*)[/\\\\]wp-content[/\\\\].*%', '\1', dirname( __FILE__ ) ) . '/wp-load.php' );

/* If the root blog is set up for right to left reading, include the rtl.css file */
if ( get_bloginfo( 1, 'text_direction' ) == 'rtl' && file_exists( 'rtl.css' ) )
	echo "@import url(rtl.css);\n";

/* If there are any custom component css files inside the /custom-components/ dir, load them. */
if ( is_dir( './custom-components' ) ) {
	if ( $dh = opendir( './custom-components' ) ) {
		while ( ( $css_file = readdir( $dh ) ) !== false ) {
			if( substr ( $css_file, -4 ) == '.css' ) {
				echo "@import url(custom-components/$css_file);\n";
			}
		}
	}
}

/* Now load the custom styles CSS for custom modifications */
if ( file_exists('custom.css') )
	echo "@import url(custom.css);\n";

?>

emergency averted.

I contacted tech support and they set the permissions correctly. I still do not know why I could not do it via file manager in Cpanel or File Zilla.
