Sounds like a z-index problem. These things can be very tricky to solve even when you have the code in front of you, much less when you’re flying blind like I am :), but here are some things to look at: – Look in the stylesheet of your theme to see if the header has […]

The short answer is that you take the code that creates the activity post box (located in buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/post-form.php) and put it somewhere into one of the members/single profile templates, possibly home.php. I’ve done this on http://commons.gc.cuny.edu (though you won’t be able to see the post box without a login). It…[Read more]

It sounds like a permalink issue. @malik, you said that when you switched your WP permalinks to something other than the default, WP stopped working. It’s probably the case that your provider is missing mod_rewrite or otherwise does not have the correct server configuration to support WP permalinks (which are, in turn, required for BP). Here […]

If you’re using the bp-default theme, the login sidebar is created at buddypress/bp-themes/sidebar.php. You could copy that file to your child theme directory and modify lines 29-56 to contain whatever login markup you’d like.

The BP-Dev plugins used to do this. There’s a chance that these plugins are what is powering the site you gave a screenshot of. http://bp-dev.org/projects/

I’m pretty sure those plugins don’t work with current versions of BP, but it might give you a starting point.

Good suggestions, I like them all.

You can already change the “favorites” language to “bookmarks” or whatever else you’d like with a custom language file: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

@hnla That’s a good start, but it means that the plugin’s notifications will only kick in when activity items/posts are posted by users who are on the whitelist. In other words, if Deryk is on the whitelist and I’m not, then even if Deryk is subscribed to all updates from a group that we’re both a […]

You want to send me what you have and I can have a look at it? Maybe it’d save us both some time.

@hnla Funny you should mention that. I want to do some limited beta testing on my production site before rolling it out to all my users. That’ll require doing exactly what youve mentioned: setting up an array of whitelisted users, and then putting some of the add_actions inside of conditionals so that they’re only shown to […]

The functionality is very stable. My main concern would be server load – I haven’t done anything to stagger digest emails, for instance, so it might cause problems on large installations. I plan to fix this in the future.

Thanks for the catch with the td. I’ll get that fixed this afternoon.

Yeah, I agree with you. At the very least, there should be something at member Settings > Notifications that sets the default for people’s group email notifications, and then if they want to fine tune them from the defaults they should be able to do that. The way that the interface works right now, it’s […]

Right now there aren’t any global settings for group activity notifications. Individuals have to select their subscription level on a group by group basis. The default for group members is in turn determined by the group admin. Not an ideal solution – I would like to have an option for individuals to override specific settings […]

@andrea_r I’d say that MU isn’t distributed in the way that’s important here, because the data is all stored in the same db, on the same server (at least that’s how it works by default). In a truly distributed network, each individual/cluster of individuals would have full, sysadmin level control over his or her data. WP/BP […]

Is your problem that the javascript isn’t loading?

The best way to include the script is with https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script.

You could also just edit the header.php file of your theme to include a script tag.

What @r-a-y said. It can be nice to use templates if you think that other BP themes will possibly provide override template for what you’re building. Unless you’re building a BP plugin that has extremely rich functionality or can only work if it’s extremely customizable, I wouldn’t worry about it – just put the markup code […]
