ch8rt started the forum topic Checking if activity entry is a forum topic or not in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 8 months ago

Is there a way to do this so I can show topics and reply’s to them in a different way to regular activity updates?
ch8rt started the forum topic Group activity by keyword in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 8 months ago

Would it be possible to pull in comments on posts with particular keywords to a groups activity stream?

I’m currently showing related news based on using the group name as a keyword, but I’d like the comments to appear in the activity stream, like they do in the global activity template.
ch8rt posted on the forum topic All links related to groups redirect to home page upon upgrade in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 8 months ago

Yep, I’m struggling with a similar issue. Just moved a dev site onto a live server for testing. Everything worked fine on my local machine but now all the forum stuff appears to be redirect straight to the homepage.
ch8rt started the forum topic Display posts by tag on group page in the group Creating & Extending: 13 years, 9 months ago

I’ve changed the structure of my Buddypress so we effectively have one forum but multiple groups. I would like to show topics by tag on group pages so in group ‘One’ we get forum topics tagged with ‘One’. I can’t find any reference to forum query’s that would allow this, any ideas? On a side […]

A massive help yet again. Thanks Roger for taking the time to answer these questions.
ch8rt posted on the forum topic Template tag for activity_username in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 2 months ago

Well Its a bit messy, but I’m trying to re-engineer the meta part of the entry, so I’ll be using it in a few places like <a class="activity-avatar" title="" href=" " title="user name here"> </a> To add the username as a title on the Avatar, so it shows on mouseover. And <a class="author" href=""> said: </a> As…

I was hoping that would fix it, apparently not, it just shows the ID number still.
ch8rt posted on the forum topic Template tag for activity_username in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 2 months ago

Seems a bizzarre way around it? if I can use bp_activity_user_id() to get the id of the user that posted the item why isn’t there a ‘bp_activity_user_nicename()’ or something similar?

Anyway, I’ll look into your suggestion on both this and the other topic you’ve replied to, thanks.
ch8rt posted on the forum topic How to Exclude a Group From the Groups Loop in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 2 months ago

Yep, works a charm. Big Thanks.

I wasn’t getting anything with the in_array (must’ve had brackets in the wrong place or something) and then started thinking that the array call in the function up top would do that bit?

Again, thanks.
ch8rt posted on the forum topic How to Exclude a Group From the Groups Loop in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 2 months ago

I’m still trying to get this working, an array seems the best way, like you said, but I have no idea on how to code it properly. The documentation for php always seems to go over my head. This is what I have so far. /*special group*/ /*none special group*/ But thats not working. […]

ch8rt posted on the forum topic Changing fonts in the BuddyPress Default theme? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 2 months ago

I would recommend this as a great place to start looking into child themes. Its not advisable to edit the default theme, since your changes could be overwritten if/when you update your buddypress plugin. For a quick a dirty change however you’ll need to change some values in the default.css file which can be found […]
ch8rt posted on the forum topic Changing fonts in the BuddyPress Default theme? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 2 months ago

This should be a CSS change, your probably best to use a something like firebug ( a plugin for Firefox ) to locate the attributes that need changing and then searching for them within the stylesheet your site is using. Without knowing how much you’ve changed or whether your using a child theme its difficult […]
ch8rt started the forum topic Template tag for activity_username in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 2 months ago

I can’t find any documentation around the template tag for the username of the person that created an item in the activity stream.

At the moment I’m stuck with the ID of that user, does anyone know the tag?
ch8rt started the forum topic Group loop in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 2 months ago

I’m having trouble calling a group loop within a group page. I’ve created a menu full of a users groups, which works fine on the top levels ( forums, groups directory, activity etc.) but when it appears on a single group page it shows only that group in the list?

Any ideas?

Cheers Roger, I’ll look at that.
ch8rt started the forum topic Combine Activity stream with WordPress posts in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 3 months ago

Is it possible to have one loop that fetches all items from both buddypress and wordpress?
ch8rt posted on the forum topic How to Exclude a Group From the Groups Loop in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 4 months ago

I’m totally up on my php so could someone help with converting this into an ‘if’ ‘else’ statement that allows for multiple group names rather than just one. So far I’ve got this if(bp_get_group_name() != ‘Community’ ) : if(bp_get_group_name() != ‘General’ ) : if(bp_get_group_name() != ‘Off Topic’ ) : but I need to endif 3 […]

@apeatling @apeatling Hi Andy, I’m trying to get an alternative view of my buddypress forums setup, effectively just like the one you’ve done for this website, any chance you could detail down somewhere how to achieve this output, and add it has an extra tab next to all topics and my topics in the forum?
