Erlend started the topic A less error-prone, more future proof group forum in the forum Ideas 11 years, 1 month ago

I’d like to see the current implementation of Group Forums be deprecated out of core and put into a legacy plugin. As it stands, the Group Forums feature is error prone and inflexible.

Problems:

– Creates a ton of sub-forums, cluttering the forum index with ~5 post sub-forums.
– Causes URL inconsistency (some links point to links like…[Read more]

Thanks!

What modifications in particular are you referring to?

We really wanted to release our child theme to the public, but I doubt Bootstrapmaster (ACME theme) would let us do that.

We’re using bbPress and BuddyPress to power the jMonkeyEngine community site:
http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/

Using the excellent Firmasite as our parent theme, our child theme is a modified version of the ACME Dashboard. It is indeed marketed as an admin theme, but we found it to be nicely suited for a clean discussion-centric layout.

We’re not…[Read more]

Is there a way to let users request moderator privileges for a specific group, similar to how they would request membership?

Big congrats guys and gals! Really looking forward to sinking my teeth into this one. I’ve got a funny feeling bbPress 2.3 isn’t far behind 😉

Hmmm, interesting. Could that still affect new groups made with group forums though? Because we’re experiencing this same issue with those as well.

WordPress 3.5.1
BuddyPress 1.6.4
bbPress 2.2.4

After we had converted our legacy forum to bbPress 2, I created a new forum category called “Projects” and made all the remaining group forums parent to […]

I’m trying to use Group Forums on my website and it’s causing redirect loops like this:

Nice work. I’m very curious what your bbPress styling looks like, but I couldn’t find a link to a forum in any of your example sites.
Erlend commented on the post, Year in Review, on the site BuddyPress.org 11 years, 10 months ago

Truly excellent changes. Been meaning to rant about “Notifications being extracted into its own component.”, really happy to see that being done.

I think PMs should be next up for extraction.
Erlend Sogge Heggen replied to the forum topic How to create custom group components, like on buddypress.org in the group How-To and Troubleshooting 11 years, 11 months ago

That doesn’t help make a separate group though, it only explains how to extend it. We want to keep our groups as they are, while adding a new component, based on groups, but with its own slug and so forth.

I know this has come up before, but I can’t find the older threads about it. If this “how-to” was already explained once, I’d be happy with just a link.

We are trying to accomplish more or less exactly what […]

Thanks for getting back to me. We’ll be very happy to put that Alpha through its paces.

We’d (jMonkeyEngine.org community, with a very capable PHP developer on board now) like to start making Achievements plugins for our site, which will probably all be contributed back to the community. We can’t […]
Sadr started the forum topic How can I display a component page without a sidebar? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting 13 years, 1 month ago

Now that components (forum, groups etc.) are linked by default WordPress pages, I was hoping they would also adhere to page templates. The BP-Default has a “One column, no sidebar” template. I tried applying […]

Sadr replied to the forum topic Featured images in the group How-To and Troubleshooting 13 years, 1 month ago

Sorry I failed to specify. The new default theme for BuddyPress supports featured images, but I can’t get them working.
Sadr started the forum topic Featured images in the group How-To and Troubleshooting 13 years, 1 month ago

I can’t seem to get featured images working. It doesn’t seem to work in TwentyTen or TwentyEleven either, but with custom themes like Canvas (WooThemes) and Visual (DevPress) it seems to work. Why might that be?
Erlend commented on the post, BuddyPress 1.5 now available!, on the site BuddyPress.org 13 years, 1 month ago

I don’t see the bbPress 2 compatibility called out. Is that because the integration happens mainly on bbPress’ end?..

Anyhow, huge thanks to everyone involved!
