BuddyPress.org

I had to do this recently. Here’s a few hints. – First, you have to create an interface for changing the usermeta in question. Here’s a simple example, where I added a dropdown to the WP Dashboard Edit User page. the dropdown contains the options “Teacher” and “Student”, and when the profile is saved, the […]

There could be a load-order issue. IIRC functions.php gets loaded well after bp-custom.php, so if you have functions that hook to actions early in the WP/BP loading process, they might not fire when placed into functions.php.

Thanks for fixing it so quickly, Jeff! Your plugin is one of those that I don’t have to use that often, but when I do, it’s REALLY important (and helpful!). So thanks!

Does this still happen when you have BuddyPress turned off? I’d be surprised if this problem were caused by BP.

@caplain – You’re right, the codex search isn’t working for me either. I’ve added this to the buddypress.org bug list, and will have a closer look when the bp.org Ninjas project https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-org-ninjas/ kicks into high gear.

techguy is right – there isn’t really robust documentation at the moment. (Though you are welcome to participate in expanding the documentation at codex.buddypress.org as you figure things out!) Just off the top of my head, you might look in the following places: – for determining the admins of a group, look at…[Read more]

How much do you know about jQuery and AJAX? You’d have to extend the bp-default javascript so that, on the AJAX response, it also updates the contents of div#latest-update. Not too difficult, but it would take a bit of time custom coding the necessary JS, as well as the PHP callback that would produce the […]

@thekmen – Glad it’s working for you!

@tyr – I was having some header issues myself on my local server (different from yours, but header-related all the same) but I figured they were idiosyncratic to my setup. I’ll have a look at the issue soon and see if I can find a fix.

Got it. Thanks for providing it, Caspar. I will have a look at it when I get a chance, hopefully in the near future.

I’d like to develop the importer to work with content, but I don’t have the time right now. If anyone can send me a copy of the JSON export from their active network, it would give me something to work with.

This issue has been fixed in the bugfix release 0.6.4 that I just tagged. Let me know if it works for you, and thanks for your help finding those bugs!

Thanks for the kind words! Please do provide links to whatever presentations or blog posts that you create about BP – there are lots of folks in the education world who are hungry for more info about BuddyPress being used in an educational setting.

I agree that it’s crucial. It’s currently at the very top of the list of Major problems. Fixing it will be among the first orders of business once I get the logistics of accessing buddypress.org sorted out.

@thekmen Can you ping me at my bp.org user name at gmail.com?

Yup, this issue has been noted. It’s listed on this document http://123.writeboard.com/7555930eb348e12b5 under “Major” as “Activity permalinks are broken”.

Hi guys. Thanks for the info. I’ve been poking around and I can’t reproduce the problem (wp 3.0, bp 1.2.5.2). Invitations are being sent, and there’s no redirect. I’ve tried both with the admin account and with a normal member account, and i’ve had no problems. What do the two of you have under Dashboard […]

Ok, that gives me a good hint of where to look. Thanks.

I wonder if this is only happening on 1.2.5+? I’ll have a look as soon as I can to see if I can reproduce it. In the meantime, have the two of you had luck on earlier versions of BP? Are you certain it’s not ending up in the Spam mailbox? @tyr, are you also being […]
