In reply to: Remove search box from header in Default bp theme
@desininja
I’m not sure exactly what you mean. Are you talking about a simplified version of https://buddypress.org/community/groups/cd-bp-avatar-bubble/ You could always take that plugin and modify it to just be the core elements you want. Or maybe I’m not sure what exactly you are trying to accomplish.In reply to: How do I change the main “index”?When you override the index.php you can remove ALL of the BP/WP code and make it look like whatever you want. Otherwise, you can use the bp_core_redirect (I think that’s the function) that could redirect the main page to a different page.
In reply to: Upgrade Guide for Child Themes?Sounds like a good contribution you could make to the community. Provide a list of theme changes that people will need to consider for their themes.
In reply to: Respond to forum posts by emailWordPress.com has been steadily building some of these features for blogs. However, they have yet to release any sort of plugin to be able to do this. I have a feeling it’s because it would require a fair amount of server configuration that most people wouldn’t know how or be able to do. I’ve seen people ask for them to release it, so maybe they will some day. If they do, then we’ll probably see a lot of things built on this like the forum reply as you describe. However, I haven’t seen anything else that does this in the WordPress world either.
That link doesn’t seem to be working. How similar is this to the Achievements plugin that @PJGibbs is working on? I heard a little birdie tell me that he’s almost ready to release a new version.
In reply to: Remove search box from header in Default bp theme@desininja
Simple enough. Create a child theme: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ Override the header.php and in the new header.php file, remove the search section.In reply to: validate email on registrationOk, so I don’t think that there’s any function to know if the email bounced or not. So, BP would think that it was sent successfully even if it’s a fake email. You’d have to setup something to catch the bounced email to then know that it was bad or something. Unfortunately, email doesn’t respond with a successful reply when an email is received so that you’d be able to cue off of that.
I think the solution to the spam accounts that weren’t activated is a plugin that will allow people to easily clear out these never activated accounts.
In reply to: BuddyPress Dev Chat –Looks like that’s where are the cool people will be!
In reply to: Members only siteI thought I’d seen another method. I’m glad you knew where it was cause I couldn’t find it.
In reply to: validate email on registrationWhat’s wrong with creating the user before the activation email is sent? If it doesn’t get sent, then the user won’t be created and they’ll never be able to login since the user account won’t be activated.
Of course, if you’re using the plugins that r-a-y mentions, then that’s a different story.
In reply to: Members only sites2member is great if you want to require payment to access the member only site.
Absolute Privacy looks like it just requires a login to get to any pages.
@r-a-y had some code in a past thread (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/members-only-2/#post-52901) which I believe will just redirect all pages to the login page if you’re not logged in already. Simple solution
In reply to: How do I change the main “index”?@porscheheritage
I’d suggest using a child theme: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ You’ll just want to override the index.php and you can make it look however you want.In reply to: Bug in Buddypress Group@laloma
You should submit this to Trac: https://trac.buddypress.org/ Just use your same login as this site to login.In reply to: Is WP Supercache okay to use with BP?W3 Total Cache looks interesting. Am I seeing it right that essentially W3 Total Cache essentially is a plugin to be able to implement a CDN? Does anyone know the cost of a CDN using W3 total cache?
In reply to: BuddyPress 1.2.5 tickets are cleared out@lincme
You should be able change the wording using a pot file. See this page: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/Although, your suggestion is a good one and could be added as a trac ticket for people to discuss and add to the core as appropriate.
In reply to: users complaining@gregfielding Maybe for you BP is about the blogs. For my BP install it’s about the groups. Everyone uses BP a little different, so it’s hard to make broad statements like that.
In reply to: Irrational Games AchievementsI’ve been debating the idea of creating a plugin with http://www.bigdoor.com/ to do achievements, levels etc. I haven’t completely though through the pros and cons of using an API like this versus an self contained open source plugin like the achievements one mentioned.
In reply to: Register username with uppercase?@Leroy12
JJJ commented on the trac ticket. You might check it out. I know that WordPress use to allow and even check for the uppercase. Although, I just tried and it’s no longer worrying about case it seems. Maybe you could look into it more and update the trac ticket as well.In reply to: I would like to disable Email activation@tober11 Thanks. It’s nice to hear. I figured if I was going to be building my project on the back of BuddyPress I should try to do my part to give back. I’m all in with BuddyPress, so you’ll see me around here for a while.
BTW, this plugin is now release officially: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-disable-activation/ and will be part of Welcome Pack 2.2 in the future.
In reply to: I cannot find .htaccess file to moderate it@angelntini You’ll probably have to create the file if that folder’s not writeable. I use to have to do that. Just create a blank .htaccess file. Then, paste the code in. Or make it writeable so that it can be updated from within WordPress.
In reply to: Group Invite by EmailJust go into the /invite-anyone/by-email/by-email.php file and find where it adds the “Send Invites” nav and change it to only show for admins. Although, I think that there’s also some options so that only Admin’s can see it in the options for the plugin. Maybe those options only work for the other invites, not email invites.
If you don’t know enough code to change it, leave a comment on the link I put above and I bet Boone will add that option for you once he’s done with his traveling around with his new wife.
I think that I read somewhere that @apetling was reticent to do that since he didn’t want tons of other BP sites popping up that would look the same as this site. Which kind of makes sense so that it doesn’t confuse people that don’t know the difference. Maybe he’d be willing to publish parts of the code to help you get close.
In reply to: Store values at create_screen_saveHow about sharing the answer for others that might want be having the same problem.
In reply to: e-mail confirmingTry the solutions in this thread: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/email-notification-not-working/?topic_page=2&num=15
In reply to: Show Nav Link for Group Members Only in WP (not MU)You’ll need to give a bit more details. Is this a new group page? Is it an existing group page? Does it have sub navs?
It will take understanding a bit of coding, but if you give some details we can try and help.
