In reply to: IP address shows in user profile
Wouldn’t say it’s normal but can be displayed but not best practise, mods admins generally have access to this level of information, there’s not really a need to inform the general public of someones IP.
This however is a bbPress issue not BP so you will need to raise the mater on their forums support.
In reply to: If statement for latest activityand that is exactly what is being explained – read through again. The if block – that is the start of the if to the endif – wraps any content you wish to hide; it says if this function has data do something – if the function has no data then the if( has_some_data() ) is the equivalent of false and thus anything inside the block will not be shown:
thus:
if ( bp_get_activity_latest_update ( bp_displayed_user_id() ) ) :
show me stuff
endif;
will only show if there is activity data so wrap that around anything you don’t want to show if no data returned.
Do give it a go best way of working things out is to experiment – on a local site copy naturally.
In reply to: If statement for latest activityThink we were hoping to see what you had tried or were having trouble with. In that snippet of code it actually shows the principle of checking whether a function returns true or false in the line <code>if ( bp_is_active( ‘activity’ ) ) :</code>
That line is saying if the activity component is active then render the code that follows it that ends just before the line ‘endif;’
In a similar way <code> bp_get_activity_latest_update(bp_displayed_user_id())</code> will only be true if there is a latest update.
To use the function as a check you need to wrap blocks of code in:
if():
endif;
Have a go if you still get stuck edit that gist code snippet so we can see your workings and advise.
N.B my earlier example function was incorrect you need to use :
<code>bp_get_activity_latest_update(bp_displayed_user_id())</code>
In reply to: If statement for latest activityYou should be able to simply take the ‘get’ function and do an if( bp_get_last_activity( bp_displayed_user_id() ) to return a false/true result and wrap your markup in that
In reply to: Need BP help for geotheme integrationUnderstand your frustration.
Afraid I couldn’t say when a German language file may be available for 1.7
In reply to: BP updated deleted my themesBP does not delete files outside it’s own directory, no plugin would any files or directories in /wp-content/themes/ would never be touched.
In reply to: Need BP help for geotheme integrationNot really that nice to refer to people in this manner “The developers are really lame people atm,” .
What have you attempted in trying to get your theme and BP running together ? Have you installed the template pack, and followed the guide for configuring files outlined in the BP codex documentation?
If not that is where you need to start then ask for help when you get stuck, bearing in mind this forum is not strictly for third party themening.
Id possible you would be best off waiting for BP 1.7 as this will work with any theme.
In reply to: CSS questionedit// X posted with above
There are a number of properties that won’t suit your theme such as 100% width and margin left that is causing the issue for order-by li selector.
All those styles are maintained from bp.css in the template pack plugin folder, you can either try and override those styles using the themes style.css file or disable those styles and copy them over to your theme somewhere more convenient to work on. You will probably need to get comfortable with using Firebug to identify what rulesets are managing a particular aspect of layout elements.
Alternatively if you can wait BP 1.7 will dispense with the need for template pack and allow BP to work with any theme making life much easier for non coders.
In reply to: Locked out of siteWorry about ‘If’ after proving this is not the fix – but the process then would be stripping back the install to only essential plugins i.e BP and the BP default theme and then if that works enabling plugins one by one to find a possible problem one. But that also was mentioned by mercime on the post 4 above this one.
In reply to: Locked out of siteAnd Hugo wrote earlier:
What you may have an issue with is insufficient PHP script memory, if that’s the case you’ll probably have to contact your host to resolve, although the WP codex does provide a page on how you can try managing this aspect yourself.
It’s important to read posts, I gave you the answer, reading your log should have clued you in 🙂
In reply to: 1.7 theme definedThanks @famous but I get enough emails as it is and only want notifications if they are important for me to check on 🙂 .
As for the ticket referenced earlier in this thread ignore it as important as it was, it’s been punted/shelved and won’t happen for this initial release. If you want or need to customise templates and are stuck by the constraints of whatever template file BP injects into i.e page.php then your main option is as before really simply oberload the BP files as before /members/single/home.php in your custom theme .
In reply to: Locked out of sitecheck your server logs then to see what’s causing the problem.
In reply to: want to make compatible with bp my themePlease do not place conditions on the FREE help you may receive here, this forum is for support matters related to the BP plugin and default theme itself not third party themes, , there is a pretty clear guide to making BP compatible with third party themes and also a plugin provided to help with that, but the onus is on the user to do this work themselves, it requires a basic understanding of markup.
You do have a choice in this process in choosing a theme that is actually BP compatible or selecting one from the long list that Mercime has already worked through to make compatible, but if you are going to wait for mercime to do the work for you then you must wait patiently as Mercime, as do all of us providing any level of help & support here, are busy people with much to get through daily before we can give our free time.
Thankfully BP 1.7 will sort all your issues out with third party themes I suggest you hang on for that release to drop then life will be easier for non coders.
In reply to: Locked out of siteNope not at all!
For more helpful help you’ll need to explain in detail what’s happening, what versions of WP/BP your running, any error messages etc etc
Don’t delete BP just rename the folder as that will force a deactivation and saves all the hassle of re-uploading.
What you may have an issue with is insufficient PHP script memory, if that’s the case you’ll probably have to contact your host to resolve, although the WP codex does provide a page on how you can try managing this aspect yourself.
It’s been resolved mercime – personally not sure of this ‘requirement’ but hey ho! p.s it’s not a constant though! and very badly named 🙂 .
In reply to: custom xprofile field for users? How?I certainly wouldn’t be vouching for successful map display if you are using three different plugins attempting to render maps – if that is what you mean by the above post – I Wouldn’t and didn’t test multiple plugins dealing with maps so clashes may be a real possibility.
With maps you need to feed something to google geoloaction that it can make sense of, I show some examples of simple addresses that ought to return a result.
Bear in mind with my offering it is very much up to the user to set the address or state parts of an address, if you want to be specific give the user an example of the address format they should use via the xprofile field description.
My offering – in terms of geolocating – is very simplistic it was never intended to be clever, although in time revisions may be added to improve this aspect, but it’s a fair bit of work to do.
In reply to: Profile LinksWhat doesn’t work? Sometimes one has to apply a little effort to get things to work , and I am not implying in any way you do not.
You may moan but where stuff is free, it has little meaning 🙂
In reply to: Profile Links| Would love for something to work straight out of the box just once.
Yep it’s annoying all this free stuff and it doesn’t work staright out of the box 😉
In reply to: quality of avatarYou have already opened one thread on this subject and bumped it so please do not open a duplicate it’s bad forum nettiquette as is bumping a thread so quickly especially on a weekend.
Closing this thread continue in your original please.
In reply to: custom xprofile field for users? How?I don’t really understand what the issue is you are having. Having added an extended profile field for ‘location’ ( incidentily it’s coded so you can use whatever label you choose) your user then needs to add a valid address that google will be able to return a map on, how you get your users to do this is a matter you will need to think about. If a user does not enter an address then quite simply no map will display.
Not sure why you are playing around with the shortcode provided ( you certainly do not paste a shortcode into a profile field box) this is provided, as is the function call, as a convenience, the shortcode allows you to embed a map in a page feeding a location manually, the function is similar but allows you directly place the map where you want in say a template. These two functions do require some knowledge to use but do not really come into play if you simply want to render user profile maps in accounts or on members listing pages.
I did provide fairly detailed set of examples and guide to using the plugin on the settings page
In reply to: Convert Groups into Custom TaxonomiesWell I see you have opened a ticket, yet when I visited to check out the work there’s no more than:
CPT’s as :
‘Groups’
‘messages’
I sort of thought the ticket might have actually fleshed out a little more detail than that? maybe actually said why, what benefit, set out the initial basis for a discussion?
As for ‘proof of concept patches’ in the two months since that ticket was opened have you managed to get things rolling with an example patch we might look at?
As far as I was aware the general nature of BP components as CPT’s is already a matter for discussion, is there not a blog post by JJJ somewhere on the subject?
In reply to: BP DataUse ‘example’ in all examples it’s a reserved domain. http://example.com/
In reply to: getting blank all pageIn all cases install WP – ensure WP is running properly; Install BP activate bp-default theme – check BP is running properly, only after those two steps should you proceed to activating a child theme or custom theme. If that theme does not work as expected / required then you must take it to the theme author in the first instance, this help forum can’t really support custom themes it’s here to support BP core and the default theme.
However things will get easier soon when 1.7 is released which will work far better with any theme chosen.
Finished almost exactly the same requirement for a private community, certain profile fields consist of data needed to be added by the site rather than individual users, so set specific edit profile fields to super_admin only but allowed the public view, then as admin you just need to navigate to the users account and then use the admin links on adminbar to edit users profile.
Users are not a BP managed item, Users belong to WP thus adding new users does not present the same xprofile fields for editing.
In reply to: “Join Group” button missing from Groups DirectorySame point to be reiterated as that which @mercime mentioned above, is this issue happening with the BP-Deafult theme?
First thing that must be done when issues arise is revert to the default BP theme , if then the issue clears up you have an problem with your custom theme – custom themes are not necessarily a concern of this help forum though as this forums purpose is to provide help/guidance with the BP core application and it’s default theme.
In the first instance issues with custom themes must be taken to the theme author or that themes forum – if one exists.
If, however, an issue persists then the next step is to disable the fifty nine plugins that are running as any one of those ‘May’ be causing a problem and that needs to be confirmed one way or another by the user – we can’t do that for them.
If having run through those steps an issue persists then it may well be a BP issue that needs attention.
