BuddyPress.org

There are some known problems with BuddyPress and “almost pretty” permalinks like index.php/blahblahblah. I know that @djpaul was looking at it at one point. In any case, it’s probably a BP problem at this point.

Guillaume – To the best of my knowledge, bp_get_activities does not currently support multiple arguments like you’d like it to.

Oops, my mistake – I mean that it has to go in wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-email-subscription/languages. You’ll probably have to create that directory, and make sure that you have a backup copy of the .mo file, as it might get overwritten on plugin upgrades.

Hi Guillaume – Looks like the plugin wasn’t set up quite right to allow translation. I just fixed it in version 2.5.3. Now you should be able to put your .mo file in wp-content/languages (with the proper file name – buddypress-group-email-subscription-fr_FR.mo) and translation should work.

It’s a bit tricky because, as far as I know, the group blog doesn’t really know that it’s associated with a particular group. From the point of view of the blog, it’s just a blog with multiple authors. Your best bet is probably to modify or hook into the groupblog plugin to make sure that, […]

This is a known issue with the plugin. I’ll try to take care of it as soon as I can and release an update of BP Group Management that will fix the bug.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I wrote a plugin that begins to address the issue: http://teleogistic.net/code/buddypress/bp-external-activity/

Yeah, sounds like a bug. BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG implementation is a little incomplete at the moment. trac.buddypress.org with the same login credentials

Try commenting out the add_action line in the plugin itself to make sure that it’s the code that is actually causing the problem. If not, then that’s why remove_action doesn’t work.

Otherwise, no, you shouldn’t need to wrap the remove_action in anything.

I don’t know of a good sitewide activity widget, but you can look at the code inside of buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php (the if ( bp_has_activities…. stuff). Using that as a basis, you can build your own sitewide activity display.

Search the plugin files for something that looks like: add_action( 'bp_nav_items' ..... ‘bp_nav_items’ being the operative code here. If you find something, let’s say add_action( 'bp_nav_items', 'add_discussion_tab_function' ); copy that line, change ‘add_action’ to ‘remove_action’, and put it in the functions.php file of your theme. That should…[Read more]

What happens when you try to post? Are you able to *view* forums?

What does it say when you go to Dashboard > BuddyPress > Forums Setup?

Mark – just try putting that code somewhere in sidebar.php of your theme. You might need to wrap it in the appropriate divs in order to get it to display in a widget-like manner.

It looks like this could possibly be done. Technically speaking, each profile must correspond to a user account. But conceivably, you could build a piece of functionality that allows one user to edit another user’s profile. The key function is bp_is_my_profile(), which is checked when the profile edit screen is brought up. By default,…[Read more]

This could be done, but it would take some custom coding. Here’s how I would structure it. 1) Write some JS for the Edit Profile page that inserts a new set of fields based on user input (say, a button that says “Add another employer”). This wouldn’t really require any BP code in and of […]

That’s fantastic news, Leo!

I’m looking at a bunch of Ning export files right now and I can’t find friend data *anywhere*. Weird! Going to work on the rest of the fixes today or tomorrow. Thanks again for all your help!

Cool! Glad we’re making progress. The plugin is not currently set up to import group avatars. There were a few complications that kept me from making it happen. I’ll add it soon (and you should be able to run it again without starting from scratch). The plugin also doesn’t handle friendships. Honestly, I didn’t know […]

Hey Leo – I’m comparing the two versions, and the only difference I can see in the member import process that might be causing a hangup has to do with avatar importing. I made a change for the release version to ensure that the avatar cropping process actually went through, because in some of my […]

A little update. I just did some testing on my local machine where I reduced WP’s memory_limit to 32MB (typical for shared hosting). Surprisingly, it didn’t slow things down that much – 1300 users were imported in five refreshes rather than one or two. Then I opened a top window to monitor CPU processes. It […]

Hi Leo – Thanks for having a look. Using your data on my local machine (BP 1.2.5.1 and WP 3.0), Import from Ning 2.0.1 imports all of your users with just a single refresh. But it does make my computer fans kick on! If you continue to have problems, you might try dividing up the […]
