😆

And yes that was the page I was referring to.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

It should be. Check the WP codes dev docs functions page for category functions, you would need one that returns a posts category then you could run an if not this category display comment reply form

Phantom page? Paul

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Well you can edit text to a degree from within files but I would suggest that you read through the pages in the codex first then if things still not clear or further questions post back to the thread.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

This page will show you the parameters that can be passed:

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/

What you show should work to limit the qnt returned

forums are installed automatically by WP

How so? have you attempted the BP forum install? as I said in an earlier comment, I didn’t spot any BB tables in your list

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

I suspect that your rewrite rules are not working, especially as you are running on IIS server which handles rewrites slightly differently from Apache. I would check the WordPress codex on rewrites and IIS

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

I have edited your post with connection details and replaced the sensitive stuff with ‘*’ but the post has been public for a while so you are best advised to request new details be set or change them yourself if possible then update those two files.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

btw you really now need to go and change your DB details, perhaps should have mentioned that , but you don’t ever expose db details like user and passwords on a public site.

when you’re secure again try running through the forum setup procedure from the backend using the existing setup option

and also visit the WP permalinks page under ‘Settings’ to ensure that the rules are flushed.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Should be: /members/single/activity/permalink.php

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Right that’s hugely significant set of events you DIDN’T recount to us. You have to be very clear about events and you were asked the question very early on as to changes made if any and you responded in the negative.

As you can now see the details in these two files are NOT the same and need to be adjusted.

It might have been wise to use one of those developers to make the move for you all things considered, then you might not have had this problem arise.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

It’s a known issue being dealt with.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

connection strings are the details for the DB connection i.e the DB name, user, domain, pwd, easy to spot near the top of the file. Both files should carry the same details.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Very neat and useful and aptly named

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Are you referring to API key? in which case you must obtain one first and replace the one in the example code.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

It’s gpl code, Apart from the fact that no would know, give due attribution to the original authors of the work/ code snippet and unlikely anyone will eat your www

The code above that Paul shows in the pastebin example is run as a standalone snippet that you would place where you wanted the map to display or you could run it from a functions.php file using add_action function to place the code on the page where there is an action hook such as bp_profile_header_meta.

To see the code working try placing it somewhere in the members-header.php file perhaps for testing purposes before or after the div item-meta block of code. As for where it really needs to go for your requirements that’s harder to say

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Are you asking for permission?

You can hack anything you like, preferable is to write it yourself where possible. Paul provides you with the code you need above though so it might be better to use that but perhaps update it to use V3 map api.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

It’s sensible for the moment to assume the worst. Firstly change your FTP loggin, then look through the actual files for any JavaScript that shouldn’t be there, There are JavaScript Iframe injection attacks that could account for this , however I would expect the iframe to show on all pages injected through index.php files or the html header so would hope there is some other cause in your case.

bp adminbar requires a little work in that respect, I’ve created my own set of links for users with elevated roles from ‘Subscriber’ have a look at :
https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/

It will give you some guidance to modifying the adminbar.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Why can’t the author role create blog posts it ought to be able to that’s the point of the role!

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

yep that’s the other option to try glad it’s working.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

It is a rather important bit of information the server platform Apache and IIS have different approaches to rewrite capability, you may need to speak to your hosts and explain that you need some form of url rewriting for your site.

This WP Codex page gives some detail on IIS and permalink structures and rewriting.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

This is essentially an issue resting with the core app WP rather than BP

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

I’ve posted on this forum topic issue previously, but in a nutshell this can cure the issue, go into the group as admin access the admin settings for the group – admin->group settings and ensuring the create forum box is checked re save that initial page then try again to post a topic; hopefully that will ensure the table exists in the DB.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Then explain exactly what you can’t do. You say you have enabled registrations, then what happens when you are logged out and try one of the register links? do you not get the user new user form? if you have the form what happens when you complete and submit it? see where I’m going? we need as much detail as you can supply , we can’t necessarily guess at what may be wrong.

One thing to do is disable BP and ensure WP is working as expected in all respects before proceeding to add the BP layer to it, and also disable any other plugins that may be running and that are not necessary.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

In respect of role management plugins I would recommend Justin Tadlocks ‘Members 0.1.1’ . Tested three out of around four or five available and found the other two mildly confusing but Justins was the most featured and usable with a useful selectable modular approach. Roles and Capabilities need to be understood though as it’s extremely easy to get things badly wrong if not sure what capabilities do what. Ability to create new Roles though does extend the flexibility of things quite a lot, even if they have the same capabilities it would allow for a form of pseudo user grouping.
