In reply to: Adding Subnav Link to Group Pages
Thanks Boone. I didn’t think so either. Is this worthy of putting in Trac as an enhancement request. Maybe not since there is a solution that works. It’s just a little ugly.
P.S. Do you like how the above function adds a group link straight to the invite by email in your Invite Anyone plugin? Everything I know I learned from Boone’s Invite Anyone plugin…lol.
In reply to: Adding Subnav Link to Group PagesI’m not sure why bp_get_group_id() wasn’t working in the above function, but this works instead: $bp->groups->current_group->id
That still leaves these questions:
1. Is there a simpler way to add an external link to the Group Subnav menu than the code above?
2. Can you pass variables into the “screen_function” that the nav calls?In reply to: Report Abuse PluginI’d watch for the BuddyPress Moderation link that @Avatar posted. It’s a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) project and so we should be seeing something from it this summer.
In reply to: Activation Email not workingIn reply to: BP Album+ || New Features Requests and DiscussionAny update on this foxly? I’m excited to see the Group albums in action.
In reply to: I have adapted BP-Real Names pluginHave you contacted the BP-real names plugin creator? That sounds like the first place to go to find people that are interested.
In reply to: How to use BuddyPress in “wordpress.com” blog ?“None whatsoever.”
Unless you’re a wordpress.com VIP member and then there’s some room to negotiate. Although, I’d be very surprised if they let even VIP members run BP on it.
In reply to: WordPress or WordPress MU???eor highlights the other difference. Some plugins were designed for WPMU and won’t work with WP and vice versa. So, the plugins you want to use should be part of the decision also.
In reply to: Buddypress Backup TechniquesSimple answer. Backup the files and the database. Then you’re all good. Every host that I’ve seen has those backup functions available to you. Most call it a home directory backup and a mysql database backup (or something similar).
In reply to: I would like to disable Email activation@Hollosch I turned Andy’s code and my little addition to disable the email at activation into a plugin. I’ve posted it to my blog for now: http://www.crashutah.com/blog/juanchito/2010/05/12/buddypress-disable-email-activation-my-first-buddypress-plugin/ I’m still waiting for the SVN access to be able to add it to the WP plugin repository.
Also, right now the plugin only works for standard WP. I’m still working on disabling the activation email for WPMU, but have to figure out why it’s sending the email still.
@twodeuces I’m not sure that the change of menu will matter with WP 3.0. The various menus are still the same from what I’ve seen.
In reply to: Unable to create groupSounds like a problem with the theme. Which themes are you using? Did you check the theme that doesn’t work to see if the theme files are checking if the user is an admin before displaying the create group button? Maybe the theme that it doesn’t work on is just hiding the button to create, but anyone actually could create one if they just knew the link to create groups.
In reply to: I would like to disable Email activationThanks to Sarah Gooding, I found this plugin which mostly works with WPMU 2.9.2 and BP 1.2.3: http://www.thinkinginwordpress.com/2009/10/autoactivate-users-and-blogs-at-buddypress-signup/ Only problem is that it still sends the activation email despite the email already being active.
My hope is to incorporate the code from Andy so that it will work with both WPMU and WP and then make it so neither one sends the activation email.
If anyone has ideas why it’s sending the activation email in WPMU, I’d appreciate any help. Seems like it might be a priority issue, but I haven’t yet figured that out.
In reply to: Understanding bp_core_load_templateOK. Good to know. I’ll save the templates for other plugin projects. Maybe someone can explain the details of how they work by then.
In reply to: Understanding bp_core_load_templateBoone,
Thanks for the suggestions. I will take a look at the other group plugins. I looked at some, but didn’t have the ones you mentioned on my list to look at.I also tried just putting the content in the display() instead of trying to load a template and that’s working fine. So, I guess the question is why should I load a template versus just using my own code in display()?
In reply to: Recommended Hosting for BuddyPress site?gtn,
They shared hosts get you with the “unlimited bandwidth” Unfortunately, they don’t tell you that the CPU and Memory is limited. Shared hosts will only take you so far with BP, but then you’ll have to grow into something larger. Although, that’s a good problem to have. I wonder if someone won’t start a company just helping people scale BP beyond a shared host solution.Anyone else like my idea of a separate group? Seems like it would be valuable since it’s an important part of the BP decision process.
In reply to: Recommended Hosting for BuddyPress site?I wonder if there shouldn’t be a BP group that talks about BP hosting. One topic for each host or something. Would be interesting to compare.
In reply to: Adding a background image@paulhastings0 Only problem with doing what you describe instead of using a child theme is that the next time BP gets updated, the change you made will get overwritten. Thus the advent of child themes.
In reply to: How do you know who has confirmed ?Create a new test user and don’t activate it and see what it is. Then, you’ll know for sure.
Just make a backup before you delete anything;-)
In reply to: How do you know who has confirmed ?In the database (preferably with something like PHPMyAdmin) you can look at the table wp_signups under the column “active.” That’s WPMU. In WP you can look at the wp_users table. If I remember right, it just changes user_status.
I don’t know of a plugin that’s pulled this information. @boonebgorges has talked about a plugin that would do close to this including resending the activation email and clearing out ones that didn’t activate, but otherwise I don’t know a plugin that will do this.
Seems like this should work:
-Create a Child Theme: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
-Copy the file in the default BP theme folder/registration/register.php and save it in your new child theme folder as a page template (or you could just overwrite the index.php)
-Create a New Page that uses that page template
-Go to Settings–>Reading and set the new page you created as a “Static Page”I saw a plugin to do a sidebar registration for WordPress a while back, but I’m not sure if it works for BP or not.
In reply to: Customize Porifle pager-a-y.
I haven’t seen many plugins that do much of any customization to a person’s profile page. Do you know of any that I might have missed?@rossagrant,
This is a pretty straight forward plugin for most developers. Only variable might be how you want to get the latest price of a stock on the stock market. If you try to automate that, it might take a little work to figure out that automation. Otherwise, most developers on here could do it.If you want to pay someone to do it, just say so and people can contact you through your profile if you’re interested. There are a number of people on this site that do that type of work. Just depends what’s on their plate at the time. There’s not really a separate place to advertise work for now. Maybe we should create a tag for it and admins can make sure the tags applied before the lock the thread.
In reply to: Members onlySorry I misread. I thought you meant “members only” as in paid members. Not just registered members. s2member needs the paid membership and then it will do what you described for paying members.
@nahummadrid
To remove the blog component from the top menu bar I think you can do:
remove_action(‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_blogs_menu’, 6);
