BuddyPress.org

Go to a group home page, while logged in as the site admin. Click on the “Admin” tab. You should see a list of tabs: “Edit Details”, “Group Settings”, “Group Avatar”, etc. Do you see them? “Email Options” should be on this list too.

HNORTHWAY: Are you sure that the plugin is actually activated? Do you see it under Dashboard > BuddyPress? (It should have a Group Email Options link.) If that’s working, then exactly what are you expecting to see on the front end? The plugin, among other things that it does, adds a group admin tab called […]

The most elegant way to do this is to filter bp_ajax_querystring. Detect whether you’re looking at the activity stream, and if the querystring is empty, add arguments that show friends’ activity. Here’s a thread with an example on how to build such a filter (yours will do a few more conditional checks first):…[Read more]

Here are some hints: – Get the current time with time(), convert the post time to UNIX format with ‘strtotime()’, and subtract the two. Remember that the difference will be in seconds. You can use that for comparison. – Apply CSS selectors conditionally to get what you want. So, assuming that you have set $is_more_than_one_hour […]

Hm. Try installing http://teleogistic.net/code/buddypress/bp-group-management/ and see if you can get to the group that way.

Unfortunately, from the BP end, the only way you can do this is to give users super admin privileges. This will improve in future versions of BP, but for now that’s how it works. You might be able to finagle something on the Dashboard side. I believe that WP also requires you to be a […]

Where are you trying to create new members? On the Dashboard? Are you sure that the user is not actually being created?

As long as you are logged in as the site admin account, you should be able to access the group admin area, where you can delete the group.

By “admin menu” do you mean the menu on the Dashboard? Or are you talking about something on the front-end?

Are you running WP Network mode/multisite?

@nit3watch Thanks for the message, and thanks for sharing the theme. I can’t wait to check it out.

Awesome! Let me know how it goes.

It’s possible, but it’s somewhat cumbersome to code (and to come up with a workable UI). I’ve made a note of the request, though https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs/issues/71

It’s a bit unintuitive, but forum activity items happen in bp-groups.php groups_new_group_forum_post() and groups_new_group_forum_topic(). (It’s because all forum posting happens through groups.)

I haven’t seen this particular text encoding issue before. What language are you posting in?

Glad you’re liking the plugin! Yes, the plugin is built using custom post types. As the admin on the main blog, you should see them appear in your Dashboard as BuddyPress Docs. Unless you have changed something, the CPT name is ‘bp_doc’. If you’re not seeing them in your registered list of post types, it […]

@gregfielding This topic title made my day! I noticed that as a non-logged-in user I was able to see and access the Add New tab and screen. I must have missed that piece of logic (public group, non-logged-in member) for that tab. I’ve opened a ticket and will have it fixed in the next release. https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs/issues/70 […]

WP has a function add_query_arg() that works for this purpose. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_query_arg

You might also be able to save a bit of time (or at least make your code a bit shorter) by using paginate_links() https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/paginate_links

It’s not a bug. The widget was changed to use one big text field instead of separate ones, as a result of widespread feedback that the separate fields were hard to style and clumsy for users to navigate. I should go ahead and take out the “Number of fields to display” box, though. The maximum […]

Yeah, I know about Etherpad, and I really love it. But the server requirements and installation procedure for Etherpad are way, way too high to be part of a basic WP plugin. I would love to build a BP wrapper for Etherpad (maybe so that you can use it instead of the default Docs editor) […]

It’s not entirely clear how you would integrate this into BuddyPress itself, since every installation will have different “links” between profile fields. What kind of interface would be used to allow site admins to dictate such dependencies? If anyone is interested in providing a patch, or building a plugin, it might be worth looking at […]

It’s not so much an “issue” as it is a feature of the way things work in BP. The activity action (“James posted a new forum topic…”) is saved directly to the database; it is translatable at the time of creation, but after that it is a literal string in the database and cannot be […]
