BuddyPress.org

It uses the Google Maps API and a piece of xprofile data (“Current Location”). Here’s a pared down version of what’s used on the site: `function bporg_insert_profile_info_column() { global $bp; ?> displayed_user->id ) ) : ?> Location · <a href="”>Edit var map = null; var geocoder = null; function initialize() { if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {…[Read more]

Check out bp-blogs/bp-blogs-templatetags.php. Those are generally the functions that are called directly in the blog loop.

In your case, you’ll want to filter bp_get_blog_permalink. Something like:function my_change_url_function( $permalink ) {
return $permalink . '/category/blog';
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_blog_permalink',…[Read more]

Please don’t bump your post more than once per day, especially on the weekend.

The Base button corresponds to the Base profile fields group. There is no easy way to turn this off at this time.

The problem is that you’re using email addresses as user names. BuddyPress must usernames to make up URLs. Usually usernames are chosen by the user, so there is no issue with exposed emails as in your case. Are you using a plugin to allow this?

Check out the template file register.php, located in buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php. You have a couple possible strategies: 1) Copy register.php to your child theme and add hidden inputs directly in the markup 2) Hook to one of the many do_actions littered through the code to add your fields. Eg `function…[Read more]

I’m not aware of any documentation outside of the software itself. The functions that do the sync are pretty short and easy to understand. Check out xprofile_sync_wp_profile() and xprofile_sync_bp_profile() in buddypress/bp-xprofile.php to get a sense of just what’s being synced.

@clarklab Do you have access to the database? Have the wp_bp_ tables been created properly? If not, try deactivating BP and then switching it back on.

It’s not possible with a default installation of BuddyPress. While it could be built without too much trouble, I am not aware of a plugin that allows admins to receive these kinds of notifications, either.

Try switching off BP, and registering a new user through WP’s normal signup procedure wp-signup.php. Are WP emails being sent? If not, then this is probably not a BP problem, but is a problem with the configuration of your WP installation.

For the first stage of the process (blog, feeds, twitter integration) BuddyPress is overkill. WordPress by itself will be great for this purpose. If you want forums and other social features, BuddyPress will be a good option. The best place to start is by installing BP on a test installation, playing around with it and […]

I learned PHP by trying to build something. Find a BuddyPress or a WordPress plugin that does something small but interesting, and pick it apart. Try to modify it to do something similar.

If you’ve got a system with lots of people, you may very well have more than one person named “John Smith”. That’s why you need unique identifiers like usernames. The regular name “John Smith” then acts like a piece of profile data. This works the same way in WP as in BP, though WP and […]

You can’t bypass usernames altogether, as they’re needed for (among other things) BP URLs like example.com/members/boonebgorges/profile. But you could autogenerate them from the user’s fullname. You’d need to hijack the registration process by filtering ‘bp_core_validate_user_signup’, unsetting the error that comes from not having a username, and…[Read more]

Nope, this isn’t possible at the moment. With a bit of template and filter wizardry, you could designate a single group as the “public forum” group and then use bp_has_groups( ‘slug=’ . $group_slug ) to display that group in a more forum-ish way.

Thanks, Roger.

The problem seems to be that user_nicenames aren’t getting transfered over properly. Are you running any other plugins? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/

Yeah, it’s not totally reliable with all different kinds of characters. I took the code directly from bbPress without any real modification. One of these days I will take a closer look to see if I can improve the way it escapes special characters.

The code in the pastebin is exactly what’s running on bp.org, so it definitely works. If there’s a problem, it might be a theme-related conflict.

Make sure that you’re only using backticks, not

It looks like some of the escaped characters got stripped. Here’s what it’s supposed to look like: http://pastebin.com/Mvyc8TYx

Has anyone opened a Trac ticket for this issue? It’s more likely to get dedicated developer attention over there.
