@bpisimone – A good first step is to search the web and look for someone – anyone – who has put together a decent tutorial on at least part of the process you’re interested in. Hopefully they’ve released it under a CC or some other openish license. Then start compiling into something cohesive. No need to […]

@r-a-y – Wow, such enthusiasm 😀 I am on the fence about Syntax Highlighter. It’s pretty, and I use it on my own site, but it does add an extra step for the target audience of posted code – namely, they need to hit the button to get the plain-text popup before copying and pasting. Could […]

Cool idea, @bpisimone. Does such a page exist on the WP codex? If not, maybe we could lobby to have one created there, and then create a BP codex page that adds additional information relevant to BP.

I got your drift, @hnla – I’m suggesting that you start creating that outline 😉 Seriously, though, please do. Or anyone in this thread, please start making an outline. The rest of us can pitch in and help to clean it up. I’ll think about it tonight and if no one else starts something by tomorrow, […]

You know what would be really helpful? Even if you don’t want to do the slow, methodical stuff documentation itself, it would be very helpful to have a sketch or two of what the overall structure of the codex should be like. – What are some pages that are currently missing? – Where would those […]

What is the URL that the links are pointing to? (Hover over and look in the status bar at the bottom of the browser window, or view page source.) Does it look like this? http://example.com/members//profile – with those two slashes next to each other?

If you’re looking for a bit of PHP to generate such a link in your BP templates, try this:

<a href="<?php bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?>/messages/inbox">Inbox</a>


Two steps:
1) Rename the slug
2) Change references in a language file

Both steps are described in detail here: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

I think that the only way to add new pages is to go to https://codex.buddypress.org/wp-admin > Pages. Make sure you give them the proper parents. (BTW – I’m unsure whether this option is available to everyone – let me know if it’s not and I’ll make stubs for you)

+1 @hnla. The specific quote I got from the person who emailed me was: “BuddyPress appears to have a pretty skimpy codex, one that covers installation and technical issues more than descriptions of various parts of BP, like the how user roles are defined”. The good news is that this is a part of the codex […]

@xrun Does the Load More link work without that filter in bp-custom.php? Sounds like it might be a javascript issue unrelated to the custom function.

This sometimes happens to me when one of the plugin-created widgets is coded incorrectly, which messes up the way that the drag-n-drop javascript works on some browsers. Try dragging the very first widget on your widget list – does it work? If so, try the second, and the third, etc until you find the one […]

@hnla You raise an interesting point about plugin development vs core development. Speaking from the point of view of someone who makes a living off of WP and BP-related development, I can note that it’s often quite easy to justify the development of plugin-type functionality for a client. The client’s job needs a specific type of […]

Check out this post by Rich: http://blog.etiviti.com/2010/03/buddypress-hack-remove-non-friend-updates-from-the-activity-stream/ You’ll want to change line 10 to be something like if ( $activity->user_id == $filtered_user_id ) (or use in_array if you have a number of users whose content you want to filter). Not a perfect solution – it’ll screw up…[Read more]
