BuddyPress.org

Hi David. It’s impossible to tell from what you give here exactly what’s going on. My guess is that something that you’re doing in functions.php is throwing an error that can’t be printed to the screen because of other stuff that BP core has already output. Try some var_dump statements in the passages leading up […]

I just took a peek at the BP source, and it looks like the group *has* been created by the point in question, but the information hasn’t been loaded into $bp->groups->current_group yet. Here’s a variant on the code that might work (or something like it): ` function bbg_save_extra_group_details() { global $bp; if ( $bp->groups->new_group_id )…

bp_get_member_user_id() only works inside of a member loop. To get the id of the logged in user, try bp_loggedin_user_id(), id

Are you using a custom theme? It sounds like the theme wasn’t updated to account for the new BP_Button class.

I built this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-lotsa-feeds/ but it doesn’t provide exactly the feed you’re looking for. I’ll file it as an enhancement ticket and maybe get around to it one of these days.

Once you have activated a BuddyPress-compatible theme, such as the packaged bp-default, you will see a Groups tab at the top of the main page. Click on it. You should then see a Create A Group button at the top of the Groups directory.

Installation

Activate forums in a given group at that group’s Admin > Group Settings.

AND THERE’S NO NEED TO SHOUT!!!!!

As I stated above, the problem is not with the BuddyPress software, it is with the environment in which the buddypress.org website is hosted. It is a universal truth that websites will not allow you to upload files (like avatars) unless their permissions have been properly configured. In the case of buddypress.org, they are not […]

For a new tab, check out the BP Skeleton Component. It’ll show you how to create a new tab, how to register a new component (for a top-level URL like http://example.com/custom-forum-page), and how to use a screen function to display the content.

It’s a problem with buddypress.org’s hosting situation. As @crashutah alludes to, buddypress.org shares user database with wordpress.org, which at the moment has pretty severe restrictions on the kinds of files that can be uploaded. I’ve spoken with some of the staff at Automattic about the problem, and they’ve informed me that the general…[Read more]

You shouldn’t need more functions, just conditional checks inside of the plugins. Something like: function bbg_save_extra_group_details() { global $bp; if ( 'yes' == groups_get_groupmeta( $bp->groups->current_group->id, 'is_this_group_a' ) ) { // do some group A stuff } else { // do some group B stuff } } You don’t have to use groupmeta to…[Read more]

Make sure it’s /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php (‘bp’ as in ‘BuddyPress’, not ‘bg’ as in ‘Boone Gorges’) 🙂

It’s fine to keep it in your functions.php if it works for you, though.

It’s hard for me to guess without seeing the markup. Keep in mind that the css that you’ve posted is looking for a *child* of div.activity-list with the class name “red”. Make sure that the activity item markup still has its CSS class rendered by the following code (in entry.php of your child theme): class=" " […]

Basically, you’ll need two functions to make it happen. One will create the form markup, and the other will process the data. Here’s a skeleton: function bbg_extra_group_fields_markup() { // Put your form markup here, eg: ?> Country groups->current_group->id, 'country', $_POST ); } add_action( 'groups_group_details_edited',…[Read more]

No, you’re not doing anything wrong – this appears to be intended behavior. Check out bp_activity_get_permalink() in bp-activity.php. The primary_link is used for the View href only when the activity type is new_blog_post, new_blog_comment, new_forum_topic, or new_forum_post. Would you consider opening an enhancement ticket on trac.buddypress.org…[Read more]

Thanks for the note about the API key. I removed it from the original post. The kind of sorting you’re talking about is possible but is quite a bit trickier. I have successfully used https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-geo/ is a starting point for that kind of filtering, but the repo version of the plugin is broken, and I’ve […]
