heh heh…I am an educator at heart.

I think a good enhancement would be to allow dummy tabs, ie tabs that go to a more-or-less hardcoded URL (which is essentially what you have above). That could either be another argument in bp_core_new_subnav_item or another function like bp_core_new_subnav_link().

@mazen – @djpaul‘s advice is good, you should use bp_has_members()

You might want to have a look at a plugin I wrote called BP Group Management http://teleogistic.net/code/buddypress/bp-group-management/ which creates a similar sort of admin panel, except for groups.

I think the answers are:
(1) No
(2) No
🙂

(2) means you’ll have to rebuild stuff like $group_link once you get into the screen function.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no place in the bp-default javascript where z-index would be overwritten or affected. Are you using a child of bp-default, or the BuddyPress Template Pack, or something totally custom? Is there a link you can share?

The code that people are giving should work. The only way we could test any further is if you posted the code you’re trying to use in context. Are you using a common theme, or one you developed yourself? If the latter, can you put the contents of header.php into a pastebin so others can […]

Here are some of the accepted arguments: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/

Also, check out the inline documentation in buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-templatetags.php.

@nuprn1 is right that you need to pass in user_id=0.

I’d be happy to jump in and provide what help I can. Are you guys developing in a shared repo? PM me the creds 🙂

Custom post types seem better to me in most ways. They have the full force of WP behind them, which means that things like attachments, media, and all sorts of other plugins will just work. The theming architecture is very well established, since it just uses the regular WP post loop. And you’d have the […]

Awesome, glad it works! It’s best to make your changes in a child theme rather than in bp-default. Just copy the file from bp-default into your theme file and edit it there, and it’ll override the default theme file. Make sure you respect the directory structure; groups/home.php has to go in a folder called groups […]

rich – What do you think is the advantage of rewriting the forums on the activity stream as opposed to with custom post types? I can think of a couple reasons to go either way, but I’m curious to know what you think.

Alternatively, from the command line, cd to the plugin directory, then
svn add ./
then
svn ci -m "Checking in new code"

@stef78 If the activity items already exist, you can try something like the following: http://pastebin.com/baERuzVQ Obviously there are some holes to be filled in, but the comments should lead you in the right direction. This is not, by the way, a very efficient way to handle it, as switch_to_blog() is a bit of a resource hog. […]

If you just want to display static content on the group’s home page in place of the activity stream, I wouldn’t go hacking activity-loop.php (it’s too far upstream, so to speak). In /groups/single/home.php, there’s a string of conditionals starting around line 28. Play with them to get what you want. As for the current group […]

@study You might have more luck finding help if you post your question in a new forum topic. This thread has to do with the BP Groupblog plugin, which seems unrelated to your problem.

Your second, third and fourth requests can be taken care of by making sure the groups are set as Private. That means that they don’t show up in public listings, and their contents are only visible to members of the group. In order to make sure that people can only be part of a single […]

With this plugin, digests and immediate notifications use the same logic. When an activity item is saved, a plugin function runs that checks to see whether each member of the group should receive a notification (either immediate or digest). If they receive an immediate notification, it is sent with wp_mail. If it’s a digest notification, […]

Without a lot of custom coding, I don’t think you’re going to be able to make this work with xprofile fields. Those fields can only store data when they have been defined in the wp_bp_xprofile_fields table, but if they’re dynamically generated, that’ll be hard to do. It might be more straightforward to save the data […]

@drmunden Like @claud925 said, it’s probably a permalink issue. What are your settings at Dashboard > Settings > Permalink? BuddyPress will not work with permalinks set to the default option. On your live server, do WP pretty (ie non-default) permalinks work without BP activated? If not, it’s likely that your host does not have the proper modules…
