@BuyCampusBooks You do have “allow registering” turned on in settings/general, right?

[@chrisclayton Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

@derek-melo While, their is no front end interface for it (though, i’m sure afew plugins will popup) It’s VERY easy to modify the admin bar/toolbar in the 1.6 trunk of buddypress.

@jack-v I agree, privacy is a required component that needs to come out sooner than later. Afew people ( @cnorris23) have been working on privacy – https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3695

To modify that index.html page via your wordpress admin, you will need to move wordpress into your root https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

and delete index.html.

Or; you can use wordpress on that html page – see this – https://codex.wordpress.org/Integrating_WordPress_with_Your_Website

@Sharetest This is similar to what was originally suggested here – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/third-party-components-plugins/forum/topic/hey-where-did-the-bp-media-support-forum-go/

@johnjamesjacoby said
“I like the idea of eventually having a popular plugin page. If that happens, clearly BP Media stands out. I think the best way to keep things running smoothly currently is to focus on BuddyPress core development and support, and iterate on the third-party plugin experience for what it is.”

I agree, we need this feature. And Please, can everyone keep this on-topic of a ‘sort’ feature in-order to ensure this thread doesn’t get closed prematurely so that others can also voice their opinion, thanks. If you have other problems, please create a new thread.

[@chrisclayton Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

Anytime.
The original code you tried may have crashed because you might already have some of the component’s buttons already registered and you where trying to repeat them, you may want to double check that the button’s are working inside groups and inside all of the directories (such as the blog directory, members directory ect.)

@petergriffyn

As per the roadmap – https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/
“Full integration and migration for bbPress 2.0” will be in BP 1.6

[@chrisclayton Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

@Memfis – I notice your using a custom theme (rather than a childtheme of bp-default)

Have you registered the buttons in your functions.php file?
Have a peek through the bp-default functions.php file for the code and copy it into yours.

It’ll be something like
`add_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’, ‘bp_add_friend_button’ );`

[@chrisclayton Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

Sure can. Two ways. Functions.php or a plugin

Have a nice day. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-buddypress/

@filmoreha – I’m slightly confused,

“I think the codex needs to be updated to say that if you’re only using Site Wide Forums, you need to disable the Discussion Forums component since this is meant for Groups integration.”

As @djpaul said, you dont NEED to disable the group forum component… to have both running at the same time you simply need to ensure their not fighting with each other by ensuring that one of the slugs have been changed.

“Yes I understand you can map the forum’s component to a different page or change the bbPress settings away from “forums” but that isn’t necessary if you ONLY want site wide forums. It’s just easier to disable the Discussion Forum component in BuddyPress settings since that only affects Group Forums.”

This is where i’m confused. Before, you mentioned (or implied?) that the forum component is required to be disabled inorder to use the sitewide forum, but now your stating that you disabled it because of simplicity?

Did i get read this thread the wrong way? Could you clarify what you mean, as i think i ended up in the wrong street…

[@chrisclayton Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

@Helmi as Paul said, any plugins for wordpress will (should) work. and their IS alot of them (about 177 plugins come up with a search – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=facebook+connect & https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=twitter+login)

Their is also a premium facebook connect plugin designed for Buddypress – http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-facebook-connect-plus/

[@chrisclayton Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

@djpaul – That was the answer i was afraid of.
Thanks Paul for the quick response.

[@chrisclayton Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

buddypress.org has 71,877 active member – https://buddypress.org/community/members/
and testbp.org has 31,147 active members – http://testbp.org/members/

it can handle quite a bit.

“Or have a link that explains how?”

Ask, and you shall recieve! https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/

[@chrisclayton Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

1. WP Admin bar will be properly intergrated into buddypress in 1.6 (this site is one step ahead of us)… on a similar topic: Looking at your avatar… you dont look blonde…

2. Have you seen the three listed in the plugin directory? https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/?search=privacy

[@chrisclayton Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

@abysshorror I know, a proper privacy plugin is something ALOT of users want, including myself – but sadly, this plugin does not achieve that and i don’t think their is an easy way to force the plugin to hide activity… (if it was that easy, we’d already have a real privacy plugin and wouldn’t be having this conversation. lol)

i remember reading a reply from @modemlooper (though, i might have mis-read it, or something) on his plugin’s forum before he closed it stating that he wasn’t putting proper activity privacy into the plugin because the core devs are supposedly working on a privacy component and it’s something that needs to be in core.

[@chrisclayton Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

@abysshorror It’s called Bp-PROFILE-privacy for a reason The plugin seems to currently only hide the activity profile page rather than hiding the activity from people.

Also, while i’m here – just so anyone doesn’t get a shock when 1.6 is released… the plugin author has stated that he is no longer supporting or updating these plugins [Source: http://buddychimp.com/%5D

[@chrisclayton Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

the whole bbpress+buddypress thing is expected to become alot easier and better in BP 1.6. (so it’s subject to change)

But for now, Sitewide forums are using bbpress 2.0 theming have a look here – https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility

[@chrisclayton Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

Does this help?
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-group-organizer/

[@chrisclayton Participant 14 years, 5 months ago]

@bryanjwatson out of the box, buddypress doesn’t really do much with multi-site blogs. Afew features are planned however – such as allowing users to post from the front end rather than requiring the need to go to the admin panel (refer to https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap). That’s one feature i’m calmly waiting for :p

Currently, If you have the tracking option you mentioned above selected, it will post your users blog posts to the activity stream. It will also links the logged-in users comments and the blog posts author links to their buddypress members profiles and It also adds a listing of users blogs on their profile and in a directory on the front-end. That’s really all it does out-of the box. It’s still your regular multisite experience that your used to.

Have any other ideas on how to further-enhance the multisite social experience?

[@chrisclayton Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

That makes a lot more sense. thanks @r-a-y

[@chrisclayton Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

hrm, i got it working by hacking it and using “

i guess this will work for now, it accomplishes what i need.

`<a href="/activity/p/”> ago · `

is their a better way?

[@chrisclayton Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Thanks alot @r-a-y, the amount of times you have directly and indirectly helped me out.

i tried this –
“

But it stripped out the item id.

maybe im doing something wrong? in my entry.php i put

`<a href="
“> ago · `

[@chrisclayton Participant 17 years ago]

type in a unique username for it, when i installed bbpress, i chose ‘forumadmin’. you can easily make your ‘admin’ username the keymaster for it later, when its setup.

[@chrisclayton Participant 17 years ago]

does anyone know if anythings happening with this?
