January 18th, 2009 at 10:03 am
now, on plug-in homepage you can download new version!
January 20th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
Ciao Giovanni,
the idea underlying this plugin is very good, but in my humble opinion you should try to integrate the functionalities in the front-end, not in the classical WP/WPMU backend.
I am not an expert of Buddypress, I am just having fun using it, so I don’t exactly know if you can do what I have on mind.
Anyway, what I mean is something like adding a new menu item in the “profile” bar of the user, that is the leftmost sidebar in the members theme. You can try to add a menu item there, for example “tools”, and then under tools you can put “Invitations”.
You see what I mean?
If you want to make this clearer, we can speak italian in private. It’s easier for both of us
Ciao,
Vincenzo.

January 27th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Hi Giovanni,
Thank for your answer, when I launch your application with hotmail i ve got the error message :
Plug-ins are developing!!!
Messenger API don’t work.
On Ylberg.com, hotmail work very well despite of the fact that the csv import failed.
Yahoo and Gmail don’t work to.
Loran
January 27th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Hi Loran. you must edit from admin page: setting/Invite Friends cURL for Messenger. Now Api don’t work.
About CSV import i know that don’t work, because i am developing it.
January 27th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Hi Giovanni,
I change the settings. Thanks a lot it works very well.
Good work !!
Thx

I really really like this plugin and would like to use it. But it gives me error messages and also I don’t necessarily want to get access to my user’s email information.
Is there a chance we can have the same simple invitation that facebook friends send to new users to sign up?
Thanks so much;
Vida
February 1st, 2009 at 3:58 pm
2Vida: send me error message.
Next day will write a guide to configure plug-in from admin menu:setting/Invite Friends,
2All:
On ylber.org you can see new feature: invite from CSV file and Twitter. Give me a feedback.
I will release it next week.
February 2nd, 2009 at 9:00 pm
what about facebook, when can we see it available?
thanks
February 2nd, 2009 at 9:40 pm

February 3rd, 2009 at 5:48 pm

February 4th, 2009 at 7:29 am

thanks
February 4th, 2009 at 7:46 am

February 6th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
I get the following error when trying to invite friends with your plugin.

Great job Giovanni. Love the plugin and really appreciate you providing everyone this much needed feature for buddypress. Hope everyone donates to support further development.
February 25th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
What would be involved with changing this plugin to work with core WPMU (without BuddyPress)?
February 26th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
I think this doesn’t work for RC 1. It stopped working when i upgraded and i tried to install it again, downloading again the file on this page, but it retrives an error message. Is there a version for RC 1?
February 26th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
2Jon: You can, is easy, but you must leave my license and my name on code, please. Thanks.
2Zafiro: from download button now you can download a version for RC1.
March 1st, 2009 at 1:34 am
Hello
I have installed your plugin but i’m getting an error:
Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /home/XXXXXXXX/public_html/XXXXXXXXX/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-invitefriends.php on line 46
The line 46 is:
$profile_link = $bp['loggedin_domain'] . $bp['friends']['slug'] . ‘/’;

March 1st, 2009 at 12:17 pm
2Fernando: now you can download a version for RC1 from dowload button of this page.
March 1st, 2009 at 7:02 pm

Also I don’t see any support for Facebook or Twitter. ????? Great work so far!!!!! I will support your work!
March 1st, 2009 at 7:37 pm

March 5th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Giovanni,
I have been downloading your version for RC1 and running RC1 and am still getting this error:
Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /var/www/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-invitefriends.php on line 46
Do you have any other fixes?
March 6th, 2009 at 8:30 pm

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /home/XXXXXXXX/public_html/XXXXXXXXX/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-invitefriends.php on line 46

March 8th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
have you setted admin options?
March 9th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
Hi
I have a new WP Mu + Buddpress setup and the standard friendinvite gives and error however the RC1 version installs.
So far looking good however I can’t wait for the gmail, hotmail etc.. API to be working.
Now if only someone can build plugin to easily add/edit the top buddypress menu
Regards
Mark
March 9th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
Ah, It would help if I looked at the settings options under WP Admin Settings
Thanks

March 26th, 2009 at 4:24 am
rat68…
would you make more options for us on the language translation file?
it would be nice to translate the e-mails users get, also the procedure and all that
other than that, its a good plugin and will be better after some other bugs fixed
congrats.
March 27th, 2009 at 4:32 am
doing a test I found this also, I created a account called “systess” and I invited “a friend” with a different e-mail than mines
and the message he got was asking him to accept or reject, bottom line… The system is sending him a link to link but since I’m inviting him it should send a link for him to register, after registered it would get the invitation value “accept or reject”
my point is, when sending an invitation many users wont be registered and will have know idea on what to do since all they see is the WordPress login page and they do not own an account.
the link my “friend” got on his e-mail was:
accept: site.com/members/admin/friends/requests/accept/1
reject: site.com/members/admin/friends/requests/reject/1
can you create a solution for this?
let me know what you think
April 1st, 2009 at 3:08 pm
When I first downloaded the files and placed in mu-plugins, they were placed in the directory “invite-friends-plugin” under /mu-plugins. Is this correct? I do not see any invite pages when installed like this.
I moved the directory “bp-invitefriends” under mu-plugins and placed bp-invitefriends.php in mu-plugins. I’m guessing this is incorrect as well. I can see the admin page, but not the invite friends under my main navigation for friends.
I do have a customized theme, but I was able to see the an earlier version with no problems.
Does anybody have thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
April 3rd, 2009 at 4:38 pm
I have using a trunk of WPMU 2.7.1 and invite friends 5.6a I believe and I cant get anything to show up under Site Admin. I have uploaded the whole folder invite-friends-plugins under the mu-plugins folder. I tried just uploading the bp-invitefriends folder and bp-invitefriends.php to the mu-plugins folder and I get a white screen until I remove them. White screens usually mean fatal error are you not compatible with the latest trunk version. Thanks for all your help.
April 5th, 2009 at 10:03 am
John, I had the samt problem as you do, and it seems like the plugin is only working on Buddypress RC1. At least I had the plugin back in my menu when putting RC1 back into my buddypress-installation.
Anyway, I can’t get the plugin to work. There’s nothing but errors all the way in it.
April 7th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
plugin is not working with new buddypress changes based on UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS: http://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1994
I try to move this plugin to /plugin/buddypress/ and I don’t get an option to activate plugin.
If I leave this plugin under /plugin/ folder I get error because it requires “bp-core”
April 18th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
If you use BuddyPress RC1 download 0.6.1 verion(install on mu-plugin folder), else for RC2 download 0.7.1(installa on plugin folder).
April 19th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Hi Guys
Ho do you setup the facebook application section..totally confused?
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:55 am
I am having the same problem as #67.
I have installed it in the mu-plugins directory, wp-content/plugins, either without success or where it is throwing many errors and wrecking the site.
So what goes into the mu-plugins directory? The entire package (invitefriends-plugin) or do we open the package and upload bp-invitefriends?
And if the latter, where does the bp-invitefriends.php go?
When I leave it within the package, nothing show. When I put it outside the directory in mu-plugnis, it wrecks the site.
Any suggestions? I am using RC-1 and invite6.1 for compatibility
April 24th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
I’ve got an error in the invite friends settings page.
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 30932992) (tried to allocate 57 bytes) in /homepages/17/d230250667/htdocs/climbr/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-invitefriends/lib/Gmail/library/Zend/Gdata/App/FeedEntryParent.php on line 257

Hi
I’m trying to install invite friends on y buddypress latest version. I’ve got this error in the setting page :
Zend Installation Checker
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 30932992) (tried to allocate 40 bytes) in /homepages/17/d230250667/htdocs/climbr/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-invitefriends/lib/Gmail/library/Zend/Gdata/App/Base.php on line 407
Any idea why ?
April 26th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
#67 and #70:
If you use 0.6.1 version for RC1
* Unzip files in /wp-content/mu-plugins.
If you use 0.7.1 version for RC2
* Unzip files in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/.
#71 and #72
can you ask to your hosting?
i think is a problem of apache.
give me a feedback.
April 27th, 2009 at 1:36 pm

April 28th, 2009 at 12:14 am
Hi All,
If you are using RC-2 and 0.7.1 BP-Invite:
install all unzipped files found into
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress
This seems to be the onl sub-dir that seems to work for me.
Thanks,

hi!
i’m using 0.7.1/rc2. i uploaded the plugin for both mu-plugin and plugin but it doesnt show on settings page. what can i do to fix it? thanks!
April 29th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
I am having the same issue. I am using 2.7.1 and RC2 and can activate the plugin but cannot see it in any of the menus.
May 3rd, 2009 at 9:07 am
I’m getting this error, it’s got to be a permisson issue could you tell me what the permission settings need to be on what folders to fix this ?

have you uploaded on right direcoty, follow instruction on readme file.
use 755 permission, on plugin folder and subfolder.
May 4th, 2009 at 6:55 am
I love the idea of this plugin, but have never been able to get it to work properly.
I can, in fact, get it to work, but not without odd errors and other side-effects.
For instance, if I activate the plugin, the drop-down javascript arrows in my wp admin dashboards no longer work (the ones you click to expand the left-column admin menus like Users and Plugins).
Also, I get those crazy warnings nirok mentioned, and yes, the files are in the right place (as are his, as you can see from the resource paths the errors are giving).
May 4th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Jeremy contact me from email. What version of bp and what version of plug in do you use?
thanks
May 4th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
I have the same issue as jeremy!
May 6th, 2009 at 2:55 am
I really like the idea as this is a necessary plugin for Buddypress. But when I installed it, for some reason, it wiped out my entire admin cp. I am trying to uninstall it now and see if that fixes things. I had tried installing the plugin through the new search feature in the backend of Mu 2.7.1
May 6th, 2009 at 2:58 am
Didn’t work. So, I am reinstalling MU 2.7.1 and hoping that fixes things.
May 6th, 2009 at 3:03 am
Ok, my entire admin cp is gone. There is nothing there when I try to go to the dashboard. I have NO idea what happened.
May 6th, 2009 at 4:11 am
Ok, I just did fresh install – used my old sql data – and it seemed to fix things. Must have been a theme or a plugin – and since this was the last one I attempted to install, I thought maybe this was the problem.
May 11th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
I’ve just tried to install this on using WPMU 2.7.1 and BP 1.0 without luck.
I uploaded the files to /wp-content/plugins/buddypress but there is not Settings>Invite Friends page.
Have I gone wrong?
May 11th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
for WPMU 2.7.1 and BP 1.0 you must use trunk version. (Development Version from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/invitefriends-plug-in.zip).
For install it follow read me file on this version.
May 12th, 2009 at 11:34 am
Thanks, that seems to be working really well!
May 13th, 2009 at 6:35 am
Where can I find the trunk to use with BP 1 ?
May 13th, 2009 at 9:47 am
2Atle: comment #88.
May 14th, 2009 at 8:23 am
@rat86: Thanks. I tought it was only the readme-file in that zip I should use, and download the trunk from another place. The bad part is that I can’t get the plugin to work, and it gives me an error like the one in comment 71. I guess I’ll just wait for a stable versjon to work with BP 1.0.
May 17th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Atle what is the error?
