1.) use anti-aliasing when you are designing the new text logo… that will take the “hard edges” and make them “soft”

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

I would create a custom page template

https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Examples_of_Pages_and_Templates

the page slug would be “login”

then the url would be http://www.yoursite.com/login

because it’s a custom page template AND in your themes directory, it’s “in the loop”

that should work for you

@ M

cool.

beta testing on someone else’s site is not quite the same…. we have a very customized install.

if you package and release your current beta for download, I will test it on my server and report back what I find.

thanks either way

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

@ M

what’s the scheduled release for this?

if you offer up a beta version, lots of us would help test it to completion

thanks

oops…. yeap sorry Jeff… I forgot to turn the lights off

@ Socailpreneur I needed to add BP specific information to the sidebar of the users blogs.. like their avatar, last active, friends, groups, events etc

something like this

‘

<?php

$users = get_users_of_blog( $current_blog->blog_id );

foreach ( $users as $user ) {

$user = new BP_Core_User( $user->user_id );

?>

<div style=”border:1px solid; padding-top:5px; padding-bottom:5px; margin:0px;”>

<div style=”float:left;margin:0px;padding-left:5px;”><?php echo $user->avatar_thumb ?></div>

<h4 align=”center”> Welcome to <?php echo $user->user_link ?>’s Page!</h4>

<small><center><?php the_author(); ?> was last <?php echo $user->last_active ?></center></small>

<?php

global $blog_id;

$blog_details = get_blog_details($blog_id);

echo ‘<center>http://&#8217;.$blog_details->domain,$blog_details->path.’ </center>’ ;

?>

</div>

<div class=”clear”></div>

<?php } ?>

‘

wait… wait…. Andy helped

<?php if ( bp_has_blogs( ‘user_id=’ . bp_displayed_user_id() . ‘&per_page=15’ ) ) : ?>

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

limiting the users to one blog can be done with this handy plugin:

https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/limit-blogs-per-user.1.0.zip .

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

are you trying to disable blogs completely?

or just remove the menu option?

to disable blogs completely:

rename bp-blogs.php and /bp-blogs/

i.e. “bp-blogs.phpDISABLED”

that will remove all menu links to blogs, you’d also want to change registrations to users only and not allow blog registrations.

to remove that menu option from just the profile page, your looking at some core edits, or possibly adding something to bp-custom.php to remove the link from the profile screen.

I forget off hand how to do this. I’ll re-post once I remember

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

BP Version?

WPMU Version?

Host type?

other plugins?

host support wildcard DNS?

“I use the plugin it told me…”

wha?

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

delete the pending request from the database… then re-request

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

@ Atul Singhal

duplicate you /register.php in your buddypress-home theme,

(duplicate it to keep it as a backup)

towards the bottom of register.php you’ll see something like “do_bp_core_signup”

you can comment that out and replace it with the Iframe version of the rpx plugin

‘

<iframe src=”https://buzzwe.rpxnow.com/openid/embed?token_url=http%3A%2F%YOUR_SITE.com%2F%3Frpx_response%3D1%26goback%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252FYOUR_SITE.com/WELCOME_LANDING_CUSTOM_PAGE&#8221;

scrolling=”no” frameBorder=”no” style=”width:400px;height:240px;”>

</iframe>

‘

just change YOUR_SITE and WELCOME_LANDING_CUSTOM_PAGE to your own token url

one issue I have with this on my site, is that the RPX plugin doesn’t gather much information… sometimes it will only get the email/username… sometimes the email is a “proxy mail email ” => @yahoo12343-proxymail.com (I haven’t confirmed this with all the 3rd party login providers)

this will effect how the notifications work… so you’ll proly want your landing page to have instructions to update their profile information

that should work

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

you just need to edit your Members-Theme and move the “post to wire box/function” to where you want it.

bp-themes/buddypress-member/profile/index.php

on the very bottom of the page, you’ll see an IF statement “bp_wire_get_post_list”

just move that where you want it, be sure to keep it in the right DIVs

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

you would edit your bp bp-themes/ or theme/buddypress-home/

depending on where you want it.

you could also add the “tweet” stuff directly to the functions.php file

/themes/buddypress-home/home.php

(the above is the home page, which calls the left,center,right sidebars)

you could manually insert your code there.

there’s a few different way to do that…. some would say creating a plugin/function/bp-custom code is the best

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

widgets don’t like <scripts>

that’s a security issue:

you should manually insert the script into the sidebar, or create a custom sidebar with your script in it.

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

we are having this issue as well, user deletes account, page refreshes and their account is back….?

someone needs to pick up and support this plugin ($$$)

– or drop fbconnect altogether and finish RPX integration

lots of people are going to be having issues

post requests there

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

1.) adding someone as a moderator is the same as admin pretty much

3.) BP is not currently setup to do this, one way to accomplish this though, instead of doing <?PHP if is admin?> to create groups, do <?PHP if user is level X ?> then you can manually select users and make them authors or contributors… then they would have the power to create groups. this would also give them power to create blog posts on the main blog, so you may not want them to have that power.

hopefully in the future, BP will have more control over giving users authority levels and what not…

4.) bp is not setup to do this either yet. you would need to modify the core to allow that content to be displayed to non-members

everything you want IS possible, but would require some modifications to the core of buddypress. and this is not suggested

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

1.) yes, the group admin can add other admin/moderator and ban users

2.) they need to join your group, then under group memebrs you can add them as an admin/moderator

3.) this is possible yes, I accomplished this by adding <?PHP if is admin ?> into the bp-core to hide the create group button from non-admins (your community will want the ability to add groups though)

4.) you can create “private groups” that are visible to everyone, but you can only join if you’re accepted…

why don’t you create a couple different types of groups, then you’ll see all the features/abilities they have

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

I would consider using AWPCP “another wordpress classifieds plugin”

google it, it could easily be used for your purpose

and It works well on wpmu with buddypress

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

this is the same on RC2,

also not working here on buddypress.org

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

hand code in the forgot password link… like this:

http://YOURSITE.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

that will take you to the “lost password” section of wp-login.php

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

switch to the default themes, I bet that will fix your problem, telling you the issue is with your theme.. they say 99% of the time it’s your custom theme

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

WPMU 2.7.1

BP RC2

BP-EVENTS .57

I already had created an \”age\” profile field before installing this plugin.

if the user enters their birthday i.e. 1/2/1983

a birthday event is auto-created (very cool)

but all the birthdays are listed as December 31st, 1969

in the back-end, under the events settings, the dropdown box for

\”Select the \”date selector\” profile field you want to use for the birthday and it will be replaced with an event birthday field\”

the dropdown is blank…. and I cannot select anything.

if I activate birthday field, the \”age\” field I previously created becomes the birthday field… but the birth date is always the same… december 31st 1969

also, if the user creates a regular event, and invites friends, the \”May Attemd\” link in the friends notifications will return a 404 not found…

– if they visit the event itslef and click “may attend” it functions correctly

any thoughts?

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

on our site, we created a simple php script that gets the users email, if the email contains “proxy-XXX” it gives them a javascript popup telling them to update their information, when they click “ok” they are redirected to the Settings> General> to change their email

like Burt said, we’ve created a feature that requires an accurate email, so we use this script in a certain section of our site. When a user visits that page, they get the popup.

we’re also contemplating making a custom redirect for facebook sign-ups (not logins) that will take them to a page explaining the difference between a facebook user account and a regular user account. (i.e. sign in the same way you registered, update your email here, fill in your profile there… etc)

if you want, I can share the php we made to accomplish this.

[@enlightenmental1 Participant 15 years, 7 months ago]

I have achieved something similar…

I added a report a member/contact link

which takes them to a custom page template that gathers all their information:

– username

– name

– email

etc

this information then gets placed in hidden input fields… when they submit the contact form, I get their message and all their information (they dont even know I get their name, email etc)

I am not using a wp plugin for the contact form, just some php

that is one way of doing it
