BuddyPress.org

Thanks for your comments, and good luck with your site.

Not aware, but hopefully it gives an idea of what anyone else could recreate with a bit of time, a pinch of expertise, and BuddyPress.

If this is a new build, wipe it all clean again, and just install WordPress. Test that a default, out-of-the-box WordPress works fine. This means things like writing posts, editing posts, writing comments, changing theme, and — specifically — make sure you can customise the permalinks (Settings -> Permalinks, in wp-admin).

Ah, yes; you’ve run into a known issue when if WordPress is in a subdir, the BuddyPress URL can’t share any of the same words. In this case, you need to rename the mentors group to something else.

Anything in your browser’s javascript console?

That is a pretty cool bit of template to share. Maybe we could add it to codex.buddypress.org — perhaps add a new page or section about forums so we can link to it rather than having to re-type all the options available each time

Hi, take a look at https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

Specifically, you’ll want:
define ( 'BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES', true );

If you run Firefox, get Firebug, or if you’re running Chrome or Safari, use the developer tools to inspect the element you’re trying to change. You can figure out what might be overriding your style changes. It might take a little time to become familiar with the process, but it’ll pay dividends in the future

Hi @s37n

You’re looking in the right place. /css/admin.css is used on the edit/add screens. For the dropdown boxes, look at form.achievement-edit-form select. It looks like I only set the width, not the font size. That must be coming from your theme (or from the BP-Default theme).

I’m wondering why you want to store meta in the posts table as opposed to, say, the posts meta table? 🙂

I disagree. The activity stream item’s delete button does delete the activity stream item, not hide it. There’s no way to get it to reappear, so “hide” would be inaccurate. There’s a bit of an uneasy tension between the activity stream items and the actual content that they refer to, but I don’t think renaming […]

Most? all? of the core patches suggested by wpmuguru have made it into trunk (v1.3). I think there’s one patch still to look at. I don’t know what else would be required beyond this point. Boone and John have made a number of changes as to where we store data in certain multisite situations, so […]

You’ll have to look at the tempting function used for the progress bar. Without looking, I can’t remember if I added a direct function for such a thing or not.

Ok – so you’re going to your profile’s private message, compose; what type of search term do you enter in the name field? Do you get any autocompletion results (an AJAX script ought to be running)? Does the search term match up to a particular user? Just trying to understand where it’s falling out. BuddyPress […]

Hello! Achievements is being re-written to use post types; I think it’s up to one post type and two custom taxonomies so far. I think you can and should use a custom post type for this. Don’t underestimate the power of the post types and taxonomies APIs, but remember you can also make your own […]

You can do what you, but I think there’s not much scope other than post formats for any more changes to the theme on the upcoming release cycle. If you want to prove me wrong, I suggest making some mockups before you start writing code.

Regarding the theme: if you want to make your own version, do as hnla suggests. Otherwise, how about mocking up some designs for post formats support and see how things go?

Yep. ‘svn diff > patchfile’ I what I usually do. Trunk is where the dev is happening, so if you’ve spotted things you want to fix, check out a trunk install and check that we haven’t fixed it already. If you’re looking for things to fix, typically any ticket on trac is valid and warrants […]

The private messaging doesn’t use the email addresses directly. I spent a bunch of hours this last weekend fixing problems with the private messaging system in certain situations involving differences between the user’s log in, and user nickname fields, and when the compat mode constant is set (I assume you have set this in your […]
