You could try looking through the WordPress Plugin Directory first to see if any of the functionality you need has already been made available. Once you’ve exhausted the free options, recalculate your development requirements and hopefully the developer effort needed will have reduced somewhat.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

Does front-page.php exist in your theme’s folder? If so, then that’ll override whatever you have in home.php.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 2 months ago]

Try the BP Disable Activation Reloaded plugin.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

You can put all of your custom BP snippets in your theme’s functions.php. Alternatively, if you plan to swap themes regularly, they can go into your bp-custom.php file (if you don’t have one of these already, you can create one).

Hi @hich-em

You should ask this question on the plugin’s support forum.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

It’s unusual that BuddyPress isn’t working with a theme due to the Theme Compatibility that was introduced in 1.7. I suggest you open a support request with the theme author asking them to investigate why the theme isn’t working properly with BP. Most theme authors are happy to make their themes BP-compatible so hopefully you’ll get a response.

You can filter the title with the wp_title hook.

You will need to set some conditions to be sure you’re filtering the title of the right page. See the Template Tags Reference for more info.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Are you using any plugins? Also, which theme are you using?

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

although I thought that I had seen somewhere in the forums that using an API to sign new members up was “a bad thing”. But I can’t remember why!

The reason was likely related to user privacy. Perhaps incorporate something in the third-party CMS’s terms of use so that at least users will be made aware of what will happen. But, that’s a business decision you’ll need to make.

Take a look here. You should be able to see how BuddyPress registers users by looking at the bp_core_screen_signup() function.

Hope this helps 🙂

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

The third-party CMS users would need to be registered with BuddyPress (WordPress). Registration will allocate each person with an ID, username and so on. Without these, authentication won’t be possible.

You’ll probably need to import existing users, and then going forward, each time someone registers with the third-party CMS, you’d need to automatically sign them up with BuddyPress (WordPress).

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Not that I’m aware of. Have you tried reporting the problems you’re seeing on the plugin’s support forum?

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

I haven’t seen a plugin that does this myself. Try searching the directory

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

The reason the BP Attachment API was built was to avoid these problems. It provides a solid foundation for developers to build upon. The API is kind of new (introduced in 2.3), so it’s just waiting for developers to grab hold of it and build things like galleries and albums. One plugin I know that is under development is @modemlooper’s BP Media.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

There has been some talk recently by the core devs about providing media uploads and management. See this tweet. Nothing has been built yet.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

To customise the text, you can localise. See the Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs article.

To add more to the confirmation page, you can use the bp_before_registration_confirmed and bp_after_registration_confirmed hooks.

To override the whole register.php template, see the Template Hierarchy article.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Go to Settings > BuddyPress and then under the Components tab make sure Site Tracking is checked.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

You can certainly create new tables but this should be done only if absolutely necessary. Take a look at the Creating Tables with Plugins article for more info.

As to whether this will be a good idea verses utilising the existing activity table, only you can decide. It’ll depend on what exactly you need to do.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Those are not featured post images, but images that are embedded at the very beginning of posts.

I can see that the problem doesn’t exist when you navigate to the post. The image is nicely floated left and comes before the text in the source. BuddyPress seems to be changing the order of the image and text when it comes to the activity stream display. I’m not so sure that’s a good thing.

You could open a Trac ticket for this requesting that the order of text and images remain the same as they were input in the post form?

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

Hi @fiush,

I’m not sure that is what @andy277 wants. @andy277 can you confirm?

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

So far it appears there is no conditional for it.

In that case you’ll need to use the && operator to exclude the pages you don’t want.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

If not, then take a look here. That’s everything that’s currently available that relates to user pages.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

bp_is_user() might be what you need. It will return true when there is a displayed user. For example, all of the following would return true:

example.com/members/user
example.com/members/user/profile
example.com/members/user/friends

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

bp_is_user_profile() will return true if the current page is a profile page. Does that help?

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 3 months ago]

How are you adding the image to the activity stream? Are you using something like bp_activity_excerpt_append_text?
