Well I don’t know the best way to do this but you could just wrap a div around the activity if bp_activity_id is an admin id and just format that div with css… the hooks you need are ‘bp_before_activity_entry’ and ‘bp_after_activity_entry’

firetag posted on the forum topic New Buddypress Groups design.. Group Hierarchy in the group Creating & Extending: 14 years, 5 months ago

Ok an update on this…. You can now categorize groups as much as you want… like game_consoles->game_publishers->genres->games or whatever…. but I have been thinking that for genres or something you may want to organize this by tags? Right now the meta tags that this requires for each group are ‘parent_cat’ which holds the parent groups […]

support ticket #1706 is already addressing this….I am going to stop looking into this for now and I’m going to finish up some other plugins I’m working on…

firetag posted on the forum topic New Buddypress Groups design.. in the group Creating & Extending: 14 years, 5 months ago

@pcwriter I planned on preserving the present group structure for the sub category groups… but all these different ‘types’ of groups I believe still should be made by extending the current groups code… because otherwise wouldn’t I just be recreating the wheel? Also I love the idea of organizing group categories with the tabs great idea! […]

firetag posted on the forum topic Loops not to display some users/blogs in the group Creating & Extending: 14 years, 5 months ago

I think for my use I would just skip over certain blog types, but to answer @viniciusandre ‘s question I’d say that in order to achieve this you would have to change the query in the core… but it depends on which blogs you want to filter such as Paul brought up…

firetag posted on the forum topic Loops not to display some users/blogs in the group Creating & Extending: 14 years, 5 months ago

+1 if you create a plugin for this it would be really useful for a group types plugin I’m going to be finishing up in hopefully a few weeks

I am developing a plugin and my sql $wpdb->query( $sql); continues to return false and I have no idea why. I have another save function using just about the same code just a different table and it works great! I was thinking maybe you need to register each table and bind it to the plugin, […]

firetag posted on the forum topic Anyone have any idea why my sql is returning false in the group Creating & Extending: 14 years, 5 months ago

here is what gets passed to the $wpdp->query()

UPDATE wp_bp_mlgfantasy_user SET pick_one = ‘Walshy’, pick_two = ‘Neighbor’, pick_three = ‘Roy’, pick_four = ‘Legit’ WHERE owner_id = 1

is that what it should look like?
