Roger Coathup replied to the forum topic Remove the "DashBoard" from the adminbar in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
Just doing the plain: remove_action call in bp-custom.php isn’t working for me either on 1.5.n
Instead, to get it to work, put the remove_action call in a hook on init in your […]

@boonebgorges – the sites go out to clients, so it’s not good to have warning messages littering wp-admin

Roger Coathup replied to the forum topic Want to create smarts fields in Registration like facebook !!! in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
jqueryui has an autocomplete widget you can work with (or have a look at the older autocomplete plugin that’s used already in BuddyPress for usernames e.g. when you send a message). […]

I use activity items / loops, but I don’t want a dedicated page showing site wide activity.
In 1.5 though, if I remove / don’t set the ‘activity’ page, I get ‘plagued’ by a warning message in […]

You need to create / edit the bp activity item for that post directly in your gravity forms filter.. As you are not saving / updating the post, so missing the default bp hook that does the activity admin for you

Roger Coathup posted on the forum topic Replace Activity Stream blog excerpt with the_excerpt in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
A couple of points:
1. You are passing the post_id into your my_set_post_thumbnail() function – so don’t know why don’t just use that, rather than doing a get_post with that id, and then trying to use the […]

Roger Coathup posted on the forum topic Replace Activity Stream blog excerpt with the_excerpt in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
@tindell – this is one of several areas where the BuddyPress core API embeds too much markup and presentation, causing a consequent problem for developers.
If you look at my solution on page 1 of this thread, you have the […]

Roger Coathup posted on the forum topic Need static pages with BuddyPress in Community section in the group How-To and Troubleshooting
@katemgilbert – just noticed this. We built helloecoliving.com.
For that site, BuddyPress is installed on the main blog, not a sub-blog.
It just takes a little bit of work in your theme to create a separate tab / page for […]

Bp-default .. Not no-default! Auto-correct spelling!

Which theme are you using? Does it work (with attempt one) if you switch to no-default theme?
If not, did you cut and paste the line? You may have incorrect type of quotes. Try typing line from scratch in editor

Roger Coathup posted on the forum topic members directory pagination and "order by" not working. in the group How-To and Troubleshooting:
This is often a problem with the Javascript code (from the default theme) requiring a very specific div naming and layout structure. If you change (improve and simplify) the default themes’s html in your theme, then the Javascript for managing the ordering / sorting will no longer work correctly.

Roger Coathup posted on the forum topic How to make a country drop down list in profile field in the group How-To and Troubleshooting:
In early BP versions, there used to be a few handy pre-populated profile fields – including a country list (I think).
Would be nice to have them back. As @djpaul suggests, some SQL and a bit of plugin coding should do the trick…. Paul: is there a nice schematic of the xprofile tables available?

Timing! I suspect the thumbnail is getting created by your plugin after the BuddyPress activity create hook.

Roger Coathup posted on the forum topic Replace Activity Stream blog excerpt with the_excerpt in the group How-To and Troubleshooting:
@tindell: adding the excerpt should be straightforward – around line 32 in my pastebin code (from page 1), after you’ve assigned the thumbnail to the activity_content – you’ll need to do something like: (for standard WP excerpt): $activity_content .= $post->post_excerpt; (for BP excerpt): $activity_content .= bp_create_excerpt…[Read more]

Roger Coathup posted on the forum topic Replace Activity Stream blog excerpt with the_excerpt in the group How-To and Troubleshooting:
@leoplaw – apologies for the late heads up – BP builds / stores all the activity records when the activity happens, not when you want to display them. So, all old activity will be as per the software you had running when the activity happened. If you want to process old activity and update them, you [...]

Roger Coathup posted on the forum topic Changing default tab in the settings menu in the group How-To and Troubleshooting:
@mercime – yes, we had already had to adopt the solution of writing our own version of bp_core_add_settings_nav() – similarly to your suggestion.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t answer why bp_core_new_nav_default() doesn’t work with the settings menu.

We’ve haven’t had any problems with it – it seems to be working fine on plain vanilla BuddyPress sites, and also in conjunction with s2memberPro
