gian-ava started the forum topic [Resolved] How do I strip the ”p” tag from ”bp_group_description_excerpt”? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 7 months ago

I need to call the “bp_group_description_excerpt” function to include the group description excetpt into a title attribute (need this to have some jQuery tooltip hover effect). The problem is that the “bp_group_description_excerpt” funtion outputs the text wrapped up in a tag. This is really annoying and I believe that functions should only call…[Read more]

@thekmen For my site, since I have a “js” folder, I did put the tipsy plugin in there and than put the custom tipsy code in my “scripts.js” file. Also I call all the JS scripts from the footer.php, not the header. So I just had to add the call for the tipsy plugin (the code […]

@thekmen “As for editing the BuddyPress widgets, maybe you should open a trac ticket to have title=” added to the image hrefs in bb-core-widgets.php”. I actually thought about that, because when I had to implement the effect on a site that used the who’s online widget, I had to add the title attribute into the “bb-core-widgets.php”, […]

Would it make sense to use both, friendship AND following?

What are the diffrences between the two?
Also, if you implement teh following on a running BP site, aren’t the members going to be troubled by that? Friends won’t convert automatically into followers, do they?

It’s been a while since I was active here. I kind of missed it. The redisign is cool. Got troubled at the beginning, especially for the screening of the topics. Otherwise, I had too much on my plate.

@Travel-Junkie I do actually include, as a habit, the jQuery library that way. Only I got a function for that. Thanks for pointing that out, anyway. I thought you were talking about something else. Otherwise, because I did implement the effect on another site for someone, and run into conflicts with other js libraries, I decided […]

Version 1.0.3
I got a problem when checking the “To Facebook” option in Forums (Create topic, Add a reply).

It actually prints #FACEBOOK in the topic title and/or in the replies for a topic.
Is this a known issue?
And is it fixable?

@thelandman Thanks for your reply. Settings were fine. The characters problem seems to be gone. And since I deactivated the SI Captcha, the slowness too. Except for the homepage, which displays the activity stream. It actually do render fast, but it the loading seems to keep going endelessly, if you know what I mean. Like “something”, […]

I suspect it is the SI Captcha plugin, genereting the slowness. I deactivated and it looks lke speed is back to normal. I need to check this deeper and make sure it actually IS this.

Sometimes, when I reload the admin, the funny characters are gone.
The site is always extremely slow. Both backend and front end.

The website is http://cureuphoria.com All of a sudden yesterday, the site got killing slow and special characters got teh funny symbols (that is in the Admin too). I obviously suspect some hack attack here. I got LOTS of spam registration the last days. I deleted one fake member after the other. Than installed SI Captcha, […]
