Oops, I didn’t explain things properly.

What I’m looking for is a way to truncate Activity Wall posts with an excerpt and a read more link. Not a forum post shown on the Activity page…

[Gene53]

What an oversight though, I entered a “Lorem Ipsum” Activity post of over 600 words and believe me, the post was one heck of a long one.

Should a ticket be issued for this? IMO, this should be core…

Then again, if a plugin could be created, end of problem.

[Gene53]

Don’t bother, it isn’t fully functional with BuddyPress…

[Gene53]

Hmm, you guys are right, long posts are not truncated after a certain number of words with a “read more” link (which IMO, is essential), is there any way to implement this?

[Gene53]

Here it is: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/new-user-approve/

I don’t know if it’s BP compatible though, keep us posted.

Thanks @mercime

Works like a charm!

[Gene53]

Thanks @mercime

That lessened the indentation between nested replies but there’s still a +/- 10px indent after each one of them.

At least, it looks a lot better now.

Cheers1

[Gene53]

Great, thanks for replying.

[Gene53]

I believe that this is an oversight by the developers and there should be a setting for this, akin to WP’s nested comments options or simply turn nested comments off.

If someone knows how to turn it off or a snippet of code to limit nested comments, please feel free to share.

[Gene53]

Thanks Paul,

Would anyone know of a snippet of code which could be inserted in my custom.php file which would accomplish this?

[Gene53]

Is this a bug or can it be corrected?

[Gene53]

@gregfielding I agree with everything you wrote on your plugin request post.

@brajesh Thanks for coming up with a solution.

[Gene53]

Just tried the download link and it told me it couldn’t find that page

Same here…

[Gene53]

how about extending it to let users tag themselves?

If this were to be implemented, it should be an option. I, for one, wouldn’t like to have hundreds of tags.

@Dwenaus Thanks for this very useful plugin.

Currently OK for mods/admins to move topic to a forum where they are NOT a mod/admin

If I understand correctly, if a group mod moderates more than one group and wants to move a topic from one of his group forums to another he moderates, he can’t?

If so, isn’t that restrictive?

[Gene53]

@3sixty

I tested the new version thoroughly and everything seems to work as it should, Kudos!

I deactivated BuddyPress Forums Extras and still no change.

Mind you, the “fopen(/home/domains/mysite.com/www_root/bp/wp-content/plugins/…………..” error now appears in the freshness column in the Group Forums Directory.

[Gene53]

@3sixty

my-forums.php wasn’t generated so I created one, set it to 666, the error went away but I don’t have a drop-down box.

Also, I had a look at my-forums.php file and it’s empty.

Update: I changed the file’s permissions to 777 (out of curiosity), deactivated and reactivated the plugin but to no avail, nothing in the file.

I just had a thought, I’m also using BuddyPress Forums Extras, do you think there might be some incompatibility?

[Gene53]

Oops, got the following error when I visited a forum:

Warning: fopen(/home/domains/mysite.com/www_root/bp/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-forums-move-topic/my-forums.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/domains/mysite.com/www_root/bp/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-forums-move-topic/buddypress-forums-move-topic.php on line 109

can’t open file

Also:

Currently OK for mods/admins to move topic to a forum where they are NOT a mod/admin; may provide “permissions restriction” feature if there is demand

It would be great for the site admin to move topics in whatever forum he chooses, whether he’s the group admin/moderator or not.

[Gene53]

Where would I insert that code, in my child theme’s bp_custom.php or functions.php file?

Thanks,

Gene

[Gene53]

Cool, I’ll give it a try…

[Gene53]

If you click on any of your user’s avatar or username, you’ll see a new menu item in your admin bar called Admin options where you may edit the user’s profile, avatar, mark as spammer and delete the user.

[Gene53]

IMHO, activity streams should be FB-like by default (core), friends only should see your stream. Site-wide activity is a so-so idea and should be optional, if you have a lot of users, the activity page is way too noisy for people to keep up with the posts and replies.

[Gene53]

Done, thanks again.

Gene

[Gene53]

Believe it or not, it didn’t work when I changed Username for 1 but it did when I added ,3 (still don’t know what the 3 is for, LOL).

Does that mean I don’t really need the funky function and simply change the <input type=”hidden” … > in edit.php or should I just leave things as they are now that it seems to work?

EDIT: when I added ,3, I couldn’t change the value of the next field and “1” still gives me the error…

EDIT 2: ROFLOL, it didn’t work because I omitted the , (colon) after the 1. Now everything seems to work.

Thanks again, I really appreciate your help.
