Logged in as the same user in both Firefox and Opera, I see a different set of Forum topics for a Group->Forum subpage. Currently there are 3 topics. Opera shows all 3, FF says viewing topic 1 to 3 (of 3 topics) but only shows one. Yes I have cleared he cache. Repeatedly. They are […]

I’m noticing this behavior as well – even though it was ‘fixed’ in April … https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/2921

Don’t know if that fix was included in the latest release?

Issue 1 resolved by editing the offending group title and saving again. Strage.

Issue 2 – still haven’t found a workaround.

Woohoo! Persistence pays… Once again, thanks to boone and r-a-y

Found the solution here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/changing-group-tab-display-defaults/#post-55449

Wraped it all in a

Hmmm. Well, I can kill the home tab, but since thats the default landing for a group, it means I get kicked to the site homepage whenever I try to open a group…

Ok… so now to find how to change the default landing page of a group.

I see a partial solution here:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/custom-groups-or-activating-different-plugins-in-different-groups/ (thanks boone)

The only other things I need to complete the process is a way for the end-user to easily set groupmeta. Can’t have em mucking about in the db now can…[Read more]

OK – thanks for the reply. Your forum suite is indispensable.

Cheers

(as an aside, what would it take to make the modules integrated into one plugin – like “theme my login” does so they are not taking up so much plugin page real-estate … just a low-priority admin aesthetics thought. – Thanks)

What happens if I mistakenly post a forum topic here? Does anyone hear the tree falling in the forest?

Anyone know of an elegant solution to disable the Home tab on a group? I have certain groups that are public that I want to be “Forum Only” groups. Right now, people land on he “Home” tab and mistakenly post forum topics in the activity stream… I would like to: 1) Completely hide the activity […]

Great response – I agree its up to the users to see what they are comfortable with… I’m running into the issue that the site I am developing is mainly for non-native English speakers so the subtleties of Blog Comment vs. Forum Topic, vs Status Update are maybe a little too subtle, yet I have […]

Greetings – great work, thanks for the plugin. I’m noticing strange behavior on the Form Index module: 1) The first forum listed has the wrong Avatar and Title (but the right link) 2) Several group listings don’t include their tag-line (I think the ones with line-breaks in them… though even when I change the tagline […]

@MariusOoms There’s a lot of interest in the groupblog plugin…

In fact, I wager its a vital piece of the Buddypress experience. Any thoughts on continued development?

Driftless1 posted on the forum topic GroupBlog Plugin – User Role in the group Creating & Extending: 14 years, 4 months ago

Hi @Bpisimone –

No worries – I’ve been using Filosofo Remove Dashboard plugin from wordpress. And I fixed the above issue by adding:

if (preg_match(‘#wp-admin/?(.*)?$#’,$_SERVER) && (‘index.php’ != $menu)) //send everything packing
wp_redirect(get_option(‘siteurl’));

Around line 53 – just below the index.php redirect.

Hi @Beckb – I was seeing it in the GROP -> FORUM tab… however, now Admin can see all forum topics…. but it was there! I swear!

I will get back with more information if it happens again.

Addendum – I see a similar (7 month old) thread here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/have-i-misunderstood-what-buddypress-is-about/ that also tackles this issue… It seems this is not a new idea – but perhaps an idea who’s time has come?

OK. I’ve been struggling with this concept as well… and just wrote a rant (of sorts) here https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/forum-activity-blog-wheres-the-beef-i-e-what-is-buddypress/ I think this question has been fielded enough times that it is indicating a bigger issue.
