Just disable it from the BuddyPress admin menu and all of the user blog links/pages will disappear.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

Not possible out of the box. Not sure if anyone’s released a plugin that does this, I’m not aware of any.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

Not so much your theme, but compare the 1.1 default BuddyPress theme http://dangerous-minds.org to the 1.2 theme http://testbp.org/. 1.2 also has the following big features:

Standard WordPress support (not just MU)

Activity stream threaded commenting.

Ability to mark an activity stream item as a favorite.

Activity stream item permalinks.

Advanced activity stream filters.

New default theme with improved usability and customization options

There have been some template tag changes (incl. the template tag loops), I would advise you get a copy of the 1.1 default and 1.2 default theme, look at the changes and apply them to your site. There’s no documentation written yet.

This sort of request for help is why we have this thread -> https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/when-asking-for-support

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

No way out of the box and I’m not aware of any plugins that do this, as it’s non-trivial at this stage.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

Oh, and to answer your question, yes, there’s a base theme. You can create a child theme to get started straight away.

What I suggest you do is on a test site is install the current trunk version of BP 1.2 (https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/2400/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip or if you know how to use SVN, https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/). The new theme, as seen on http://testbp.org/ is called bp-default and you will find it in /buddypress/bp-themes/ however you do NOT need to move this to wp-content/themes/.

You can just build your new child theme as usual and put it in wp-content/themes/ and Bob’s your uncle

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

No.

In fact, I’d say there will be a reasonably-solid beta out within a 2 week time frame, then some time for testing yet to be determined, then a final release.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

Old thread is old. Jjj has a plugin for this.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

Keep this thread civil and on-topic else it will be moderated.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

I’ve marked this as not a support issue as it is an issue with a BuddyPress plugin and not BuddyPress itself.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 9 months ago]

Probably fixed. See if you can recreate this on http://testbp.org/

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 10 months ago]

Do trackbacks work when BuddyPress is disabled?

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 10 months ago]

I think Nicola Greco might have done something back in around BP 1.0, but that’s a long time ago + probably best to start over.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 10 months ago]

Really great to see this released MrMaz, well done.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 10 months ago]

I did write “new users” on the first post, not “new developers”

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 10 months ago]

Works for me. You obviously have to be a member of the private group to see updates, and you only see them listed on the activity section of the Group page (not the list on the homepage of the site).

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 10 months ago]

I’m not sure of the intended behaviour of this element.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 10 months ago]

Thanks John, this might be a good plugin idea (a forum not attached to a specific group) or something to think about adding support for back into the core post 1.2?

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 10 months ago]

I don’t think there was anything special you had to do back in the BP 1.0 days. User authentication/cookies was a bit of a pickle, and there were a pair of plugins which hid forums you didn’t belong to (or similar).

I am not sure specifically with regards to the forum component, but all the deprecated code is being moved to a seperate plugin. I wonder if this method of forum installation would use some of that deprecated code (and it not being in trunk anyway, which would explain why it doesn’t work for you). I’ll ping a couple of guys and see if we can figure it.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 10 months ago]

You’re welcome

Locking old thread as original author’s account appears to have been deleted or removed.

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 10 months ago]

Does the “use existing install” button on the BuddyPress wp-admin backend (under ‘forum setup’, or something), not do the job?

[@djpaul Keymaster 16 years, 10 months ago]

Either by creating a custom “translation” file https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

or

The only thing you might want to look into is to show/hide specific xprofile fields for different groups. That’s more advanced and requires some new code to be written by someone

This is possible without too much effort, I have recently done it for a client. I considered using usermeta to indicate the type but it worked better for my client’s site to have it is an xprofile field. I wrote some code to not display or permit changes to it after registration, too.
