firetag posted on the forum topic Get rid of the name field upon registration? in the group BuddyPress Usernames Only: 14 years, 4 months ago

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I can’t follow this site more than I already do. I see how there is value to the name field so I’ve decided it would be best to keep it… I was thinking it should continue to work the way it does its just users need to have an easier […]

yeah i have it running .. but it requires theme edits and all kinds of hacks… there are lots of other developing the same thing… maybe they have better solutions…it would require a few core changes to make it so there are no theme edits… there are still a few major bugs with current code so I need to clean it up a little bit before i…[Read more]

Should I just get rid of the name field when a user registers?… and then i could just save the username as the name… the only problem with this is that usernames must be lowercase with no numbers? what the heck is up with that? theres probably something in the trac lemma see

I don’t understand why but for some reason I added in the wp nonce check and it worked..(posted this just incase anyone is experiencing similar issues)
firetag started the forum topic groups api custom creation steps?.. not working at all in the group Creating & Extending: 14 years, 5 months ago

I am making a custom creation step using the groups extension api and there are quite a few problems with it… I looked in the trac, but I’m not sure if there are open tickets for the problems I am experiencing or not… The first problem I am experiencing is that the api seems to […]

firetag posted on the forum topic Sticky a group in the directory? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 5 months ago

well i don’t know how buddypress works with bb but in the wp_bb_topics table (created using the default bb install using buddypress) there is a topic sticky field and the default value is 0… I think if you set it too one it would become a sticky but I’m not sure how buddypress works with […]

firetag started the forum topic update group meta upon group creation in the group Creating & Extending: 14 years, 5 months ago

I am working on my group categories plugin and I don’t know how to organize users picking which category their new group belongs to. I don’t want it to be a whole step like the BP Group Extension makes it because the problem is the way buddypress is designed new groups are created and added […]
firetag posted on the forum topic removing certain group activity and groups from my groups section in the group Creating & Extending: 14 years, 5 months ago

alright I figured this out with a one line core hack, but I decided that it almost doesn’t make since to hide it from the activity stream… I don’t know if that’s what I want it to do anymore or not… I don’t know what does everyone else think? EDIT: I just don’t know if […]

@pcwriter hmm yeah I guess I could make a new status type… I know in a future release of buddypress though there is one more status type which is in between public and private like we need here… I’ll check it out on the trac…. that only problem is I’d like a quick solution with no […]
firetag posted on the forum topic removing certain group activity and groups from my groups section in the group Creating & Extending: 14 years, 5 months ago

@pcwriter actually thanks for posting this will work so much better because I would still like to have activity for the group just not show up anywhere, but on that group page so this will work great! I’ll still have to do some poking around though in order to make sure people can join without being […]

I am almost done with my group categories/types plugin and one of the last things I need to do is stop certain groups from having membership to them users still join the group but it appears they never joined anything… I started doing this by getting rid of the send invites and members sub nav […]
