Does gpress work with version 3.0? How do you set it up?
-
I’d like to include a map showing all my places in my sidebar.
I’ve got a post with this shortcode:
[gpress place_id="all" max_places="50" map_zoom="1"]
What’s the best way to replicate that in the sidebar?Thanks!
@rmac1962 – it seems you need to refresh your permalinks – as you are having the same problem I first had – apparently its a bit of a WordPress 3.0 bug where you need to change your permalinks, save, refresh the page then save again, or something like that – as seen in this ticket:
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13022@grosbouff – those are some good ideas and are definitely the kind of things we are hoping to get into the 0.2+ series of gPress – but unfortunately, our spare time is decreasing due to the pressures of work and supporting our families, so hope to get them in ASAP. As for your strange problem, I can’t think why this would be happening as I am also running WordPress 3.0, BP 1.2.5 and gPress 0.2.1.4 without that problem. Are there any JS errors being shown, are you using Firebug to debug and is there anyway I can take a look at it online somewhere to try to figure out why it is happening…? You could follow me on Twitter then DM the details to me to keep things private…
@ilck – in order to add shortcodes to sidebars, you need to add the following line of code to your themes functions.php file:
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');However, I have not actually tried this yet myself, but will consider adding it into our plugin so that others do not need to add it into their themes in the future…
Would be interesting to see how ALL places looks in a sidebar and may even be worth adding as another widget later…
Thanks again guys for all the support and encouragement – don’t stop the feedback! 🙂
msmalley, I’m going to take you up on your generous offer to take a look behind the scene. I’ve open up registration on my site, I’ll grant admin rights as soon as I see your reg come through. http://appliedvitals.com – lower right reg link.
I’ve followed your advice on both reimplementing gPress and testing different configurations as well as fiddling with the permalink page/fields.
Thanks so much for your help. I know that you’re as busy or busier than the rest of us, so much appreciation.
@appliedv – have just registered…
@msmalley – amazing level of attention and follow-thru!! Thank you for your help. I’m more than confident that the gPress plugin will be nurtured and perfected. Too often good ideas get half-baked, unsupported and left to wither away. gPress appears to be at the start of a very long and successful lifespan with the right developers behind the wheel. You have my support.
@appliedv – thanks ever so much for the support and encouragement – am glad we were able to get to the bottom of things…
For those interested, the problem lies in older plugins that do not support custom post types – so far, we have found two – Redirection and Magic Fields – both of these screw things up when the site is using custom post types, regardless of what those custom post types are doing…
Hopefully this is something WordPress can somehow try to fix, or else there are going to be lots of problems with lots of sites coming soon as more and more new plugins start to utilize custom post types…
Do you think getting maps on BuddyPress profiles will be in the next month or further into the future?
I have a site that is going to be launching soon and I am trying to work out if I should hang on for this feature.
If it is going to be a while I might go for a different approach temporarily and perhaps have a profile field linking to a post in a “directory” blog to show the location of users.
The plugin is working really well now in my test environment. Thank You for all the work you have put into the plugin so far.
A map able to filter all your BuddyPress members by xprofile fields and proximity would be a killer feature.
@wotacharlie – I wouldn’t like to make any promises or guarantees and then not live up to those promises – for although the additional BuddyPress features are most certainly at the top of the latest list of priorities, I cannot be sure when I will be able to get to them…
However, in theory, each new weekend should see some new features… 🙂
@wotacharlie – we’ve now added “user location” to profile pages – at the moment its limited to showing just the location of the displayed user – as we spent most of the weekend re-writing some of the core functions.
However, now we have a front-end Geo-Settings page, we can really start having fun with the BuddyPress features, so you can certainly expect to see some cool stuff relevant to your needs in the next version…
Wow you guys are quick.
The maps look great once saved on the BP profiles. On the settings page the map currently isn’t rendering correctly, mainly the zoom controls and there are some lines across the map. I am also having some issues with dragging the location marker around to a new place.
I see that jquery is being loaded twice in my source code. Is it likely to be a javascript issue?
@wotacharlie – can you post a link to your site…?
I presume its the Geo Settings page that you are referring to that is having problems…?
Do you know if there are any specific JS errors and whether both copies of jQuery are coming from gPress, or whether one is coming from another theme or plugin…?
When I view the Geo-Setting page on my own site and the two demo sites I have locally, I only get one copy of jQuery, which is coming from gPress and is loaded using wp_enqueue_script, so shouldn’t conflict with other themes or plugins unless the other theme or plugin is not using the wp_enqueue_script load method – either that, or I still do not full yunderstand how the wp_enqueue_script function works? :p
Currently the site is sitting on a local machine. I’ll try and get a copy uploaded onto a test server later tonight, so that you can take a look.
The other copy of jquery is coming from the BP theme, it is also loading scriptaculous and prototype. I’ll try a couple of tests with the default BP theme and see if I get the same issue.
The site is currently set up with a plugin to load the javascript libraries from google’s servers, so the jquery is actually coming from –
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js. The fact that the gpress version is coming from the gpress folder and not from google suggests the issue might be with gpress?I tried a few different themes and they are all ok. Therefore think it is probably an issue with the theme. Will see if I can locate the issue in the theme and post back.
@msmalley Hi 1st off, thanks for all the work you have put into this plug-in. Guys like you are the reason the internet is what it is today.
Im running: bp Version 1.2.5 and wp Version 3.0 on xampp/localhost. Iv’e tried the default theme and my child theme ( thought there might be some error with my custom theme ) and de-activated each plug-in and it’s gpress thats giving the error.
I posted on buddypress.org on you plug-in group page aswell.. with a error im getting when trying to search from groups/forums page ( search anything )
The search results display or you get the “Sorry, no members were found.”
but beneath the results/msg I get the following error:Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at F:\Programmes\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-themes\bp-default\members\members-loop.php:3) in F:\Programmes\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\plugin.php on line 395
Also on the admin pannel I get the same screen as grosbouff.

ps: * Search by location (within a specific distance) would love to see this on the road map.
@nit3watch – I also have the same problem with the search. The session_start() gets used by Foursquare – will see what I can do to fix the problem and will hopefully release a new version before the end of the day…
When you say you are looking for search by location, what is it you would like to search and from where would you like to do the search…?
We do have plans to offer front-end searching soon, and are just thinking of the best ways to provide it to satisfy as many needs as situations as possible – there’s so many options available, it’s just a matter of picking the best ones whilst trying to avoid the need for editing themes.
