    @MrMaz Hi MrMaz,
    Just curious, on average, how long does it take to get a response to a support question? I see that many seem to go unanswered. I posted a couple, but no responses. I realize people are busy and I am probably asking something that someone else has solved, but I’ve been sifting through the threads most of the day, and I’m a bit burnt out. When I was playing with buddypress over a year ago it seemed questions were answered quickly. Just curious and courteous.

    What would you charge to redirect the buddypress signup to the main blog frontpage? We are using a subdomain? The wp register is giving a fatal error now and I’m sure I will further muck things up if I continue unaided. Thanks. Here’s our site:

    @MrMaz Hello, I created a tweet button plugin and want to get it to work with buddypress links. The issue is your plugin doesn’t update the view link to link to the actual content but to the permalink page. Blog posts, forum posts and updates all link to the actual content. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

      Now that I have been messing with it I think it’s a BP usability issue. On blog and forum posts activity stream notices when you click view it sends you to the actual content but other things go to the activity permalink page.

        Yes, the BuddyPress permalink thing is a usability headache. One of the first things we have to do when building a site is remove the ”view” links, usually before the client clicks on them and tells us they don’t do anything.

      nice theme, but I’d think it is a theme js/ajax conflict.
      have you tried the default theme to see if these issues occur?

        Yes, the same thing happens with the default Buddypress theme. Would you be available for hire to try and track down the problem?

  • agrundner posted an update in the group BuddyPress Links:

    @MrMaz I fixed an XML closing syntax error that came up in BuddyPress Links (caught by Chrome).

    Shows up on the category drop-down on page the Links Directory page:

    ** OK **

    li id=”links-category-filter-select” class=”last”>
    Category:
    All

    ** ERROR BELOW **

    something

    ** FIX **

    Remove the slash from the option value part

    something

    ** CODE FIX **

    In buddypress-links/bp-links-templatetags.php

    CHANGE FOLLOWING

    ORIGINAL
    // output it
    echo sprintf( ’%s’, $category->id, $selected, $category->name ) . PHP_EOL;

    FIXED
    // output it
    echo sprintf( ’%s’, $category->id, $selected, $category->name ) . PHP_EOL;

    ===============

    QUESTION: Are we going to see a link duplication filter soon? Right now people can post the same link over and over again.

    @MrMaz Wondering if BuddyPress Links can be called something different in the menu bar. So, instead of ”Links” maybe ”News” or something else. If so, how would I modify this?

      Add the following to your wp-config.php:
      define( 'BP_LINKS_SLUG', 'news' );

    @MrMaz hi … i have a doubt and i m not able to get a reply in the forum… so i want to ask u here…

    We have groups in buddypress which has Profile, Members, Forum in different tabs right??

    every time we click on these tabs (for example forum in groups) the page loads whole and goto the forums page.

    I do not want like this. I want the feature facebook having. When a group is opened all the items in menu loads once and when we clicks these tabs only that tab loads and not the whole page.

    So how to make this possible. Please reply me.

    @MrMaz How do I get the Home page link to point to my site address instead of the wordpress address? I reset my wordpress address and site address on Settings>General. I think I have a very simple question for someone with a little experience.

    @MrMaz Hi Marshall, when a user receives a group invite via email, I don’t want them to land on the domain root page if they’re not logged in. I want them to be redirected to /wp-login.php?redirect_to. I tried something but it didn’t work. I created a topic for this at:
    http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-redirect-to-login-and-return/

    I really need to make this work and would appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thanks –Eric Caplain

  • Rob posted an update:

    @MrMaz I have a basic install of wordpress and buddypress. I upload image but it does not crop or even show a crop box. So nothing but a corner of the pic shows up. This is a devastating problem for any blog that intends on having members. One thing I cant understand is why the smart tech guys that created buddypress as a ”social” network totally overlooked such an indispensable aspect of social networking. Just from the amount of complaints I have seen about this issue on a simple straightforward install and the millions who have installed buddypress, there must be hundreds of thousands of people with this same issue. I dont even understand why they just did not make it a straight upload like any other platform, nobody really cares to have to crop there images anyway, for what? I think buddypress really dropped the ball on this one because the code should have been right the first time without having to scrabble for black fixes and stuff. Anyway, please help, I need this explained carefully. I’d really appreciate it, thank you.
