BuddyPress

I’m using buddypress and have a number of users on the page.
I would like to be able to change stuff on their sites whitout logging on to their usernames and so on…

I’m using bp together with bp-album and it is mainly the pictures that I whant to change.

What should I do?

BP-Album gives administrators “ghost” access to all user albums. Just visit the user’s album while you’re logged-in as admin, and you’ll have full control of the album.

Thanks!

Thanks alot but I get this message when trying to get into a users album

“You do not have access to this page.”

Does the user need to have another user access grade? They are now only subscibers (I think)

Post a link to your site.

you can find the members under “studenter” (students)

Wow …that’s a *beautiful* website. Nice work.

The problem is happening somewhere in your templates. I need FTP access to your site and admin access to your WordPress install to debug this.

Add me on Skype “carl.roett” so I can work with you remotely.

Thank you..
unfortunately I’m not allowed to give others access to that information due to my client.

The templates are a bloody mess so that is not surprising.

Could it have anything to do with the fact that I have taken the “admin” away from the members list? I’m using if is_admin continue or something like that.

That wasn’t it either. But do you know any line of code that has to be included for the admin to have access to all members albums?

If you’ve manually edited the site’s database tables and hacked-up the site’s template files, you’ve pretty much voided your warranty.

Switch your site to the default BuddyPress template set and check if it still works. If it does not work, you’ve damaged your database tables.

If it works correctly with the default Buddypress template, then you’ve broken the code somewhere in your templates. Use NetBeans to “diff” the default files against your modified files, and go hunting for the problem.

Thank you many times over. I will do that.

Something is so wrong with this theme.. The biggest problem is that it wasn’t me who startded this project up. The one who did never had the thought to finish it. The client is not happy and I’m the one whos got to take the blame..

Yes, that’s why I charge double-rate for fixing templates when another developer quits.

Its important to keep your code clean, and add lots of spaces and documentation. Remember, the pre-processor will strip-out all comments and spaces *that are in PHP blocks*, so you’re not slowing-down the site.

Use the *original* BP-Album plugin templates for guidance. Download a fresh copy of the plugin and grab them from the /templates folder inside the ZIP file in case the previous developer tried to edit them directly.

If you hit a wall, I can assist you with debugging via Skype shared desktop.

Other than that, here’s where to get NetBeans: http://netbeans.org/ and here’s an online diff tool: http://www.diffchecker.com/

Good luck!
