Mind the language please.

Mercime has pointed you to a guide what issue are you still having?

You must have a blank page (title only) created i.e ‘members’ then when you go back to BP settings ‘pages’ you will find it’s available to be selected as the page to use for that component.

If the thread dissolves into personal criticisms then there is no choice but to invoke ‘Hitler and the Nazis’ and bring things to a close, keep it meaningful and on topic and it can run on.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 2 months ago]

No I’m not going to invoke the ‘Nazis’ rule on the thread, it not necessarily negative, and closing threads too easily smacks of censorship.

@FIQ I have to say I think you are entirely wrong in your view that the forum is geared towards developers, as nothing could be further from the truth. The forum is geared, as is BP, firmly towards the non code, the fact is that up to now there are aspects of BP that cause much angst for developers – if you scan through the codex it’s main content is not developer focussed but there to guide newbs and non coders, the detail developers require is not really there.

BP paid an inordinate amount of time to the out of the box experience – too much imho – however it did do that in a pretty effective manner and that suites and suited the non coder, the problem arises where those non coders get the impression that to start customizing the install/experience should be equally as easy as the original install and that notion in seen quite often, when in fact to take BP beyond that which has been offered does require skills be learnt and where it’s not necessarily easy or valid to provide simple solutions on a forum such as this.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 2 months ago]

@FIQ it is somewhat churlish to suggest things are already decided and a little rude, I have said get stuck in and help guide this you clearly have a level of understanding so don’t be put off put those views across and DO attend the dev chats.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 2 months ago]

Tutorials abound all over the net for basic coding, users that are seriously interested in learning how to code a little only have to do a simple google search. The BP Codex should really be kept for guides and instruction specific to BP, resources not watered down offering basic coding instruction.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 2 months ago]

We have always stated here that while BP will technically run on shared hosting, a shared hosting account will not serve very well for long, these types of sites require resources and access to manage the server for optimal performance of the site, shared hosting has to place a lot of restriction on general server configuration in order to maintain – generally – a huge volume of sites all fighting for a share of cpu / memory resource.

A VPS is the way to go and they are not that expensive, although a fair jump from cheap shared hosting but it’s simply one of the costs involved in running a popular and active site that has to be borne.

Closing this thread @newpress I’m starting to get a wee bit annoyed now Please do not open old threads for no good reason.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 2 months ago]

Filters can be difficult to figure out ; examples of how people arrived at their solution are always useful for anyone else searching on this topic.

All tagged versions in the SVN repository still exist and can always be downloaded.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags – not sure where the zip files are.
Not sure though why there would be a difference between 1.5.7 and 1.6 you may want to pass that by the theme authors.

You need to use / choose your theme not select BP out of the box

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 2 months ago]

Yes it’s xprofile fields. Check your user menu in the backend, and your BP settings.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 2 months ago]

For profile fields you could either of the following:

`bp_get_profile_field_data(‘field=location&user_id=’ . bp_get_group_member_id()) `
Echo it or pass it to a variable
or:
`echo xprofile_get_field_data( ‘location’ , bp_get_group_member_id() ) `

The file that runs the group members is `/groups/single/members.php`

Edit a copy of that file and place the output where best suits your layout.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 2 months ago]

Please kindly solve this fast.

As you have you have confirmed it’s not an issue with BP but with your custom theme, the advice already given earlier needs to be followed re updating the custom theme. For starters try doing a visual compare of the profile display files in members/single/profile/profile-loop.php of bp-default and your theme version.

@gamelord

Just for the record and as it’s important to understand how things work, you didn’t really need to go through all the DB editing which is best avoided. BP needs these pages for url path purposes only, they do not need to be automagically created all that you need do is create these pages with any name and then select them from the BP page settings and these pages are empty! pages they do not and should not have any content or other options set simply a title.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

Drupal and ‘Commons’ is not intended or aimed at non developers so the comparison is somewhat null and void, it’s a developers platform.

This thread isn’t really suitable for this forum and it has been mentioned to newpress before.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

If you don’t want threads locked do not! insult people or get tetchy it does you no favours. No one is obliged to help and one takes what help one does receive with good grace even if not quite what what one was after, also do bear in mind tech help forums are not services, members are not obliged to write code snippets for people.

As for giving free time be careful using that as reasoning; many of us give a huge amount of our time, seldom spare, and is not something insignificant, for instance a few of us are just bringing a community theme to fruition which has taken a lot of our time little of which could really be said to be ‘spare’ time and when this is how you make your living, especially in a freelance capacity that is best not overlooked as something insignificant.

I’m closing this thread as it does not ask any questions that can be answered.

@shawn38

Shawn Roger provides a great deal of help and support of the forum, and has provided you with some valuable pointers and guidance here which should have helped you. Throwing that help back in someone’s face and insulting them is not very wise, nor is it ever acceptable behaviour on open forums.

Many of us that can provide the help people require are ‘Professionals’ in the strict meaning of the word we earn our living from web development, I, nor any of the others I suspect, take kindly to phrases like and the ones that use it to gain money should be banned! it’s not a very clever thing to say!

This thread has become unproductive and I’m closing it.

Please avoid insulting members on this forum in future.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

The thread is over two years old! Many people use s2 member for one reason or another, it works well depending on what you want to do. If you have a specific question start a new thread on it.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

or simply declare the function ‘bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles()’ in your functions file which will stop BP loading it’s version then re-declare the stylesheets pointing back up to bp excluding responsive which you can keep locally.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

Not sure why you don’t just de-register the file then and re-enqueue it in your child theme then you can edit as you like?

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

What has been a problem, in what manner other than not appearing, has anyone furnished any clues as to what’s wrong? You’ll need to supply a little detail for any meaningful response, although this may be a question better asked on what ever support this plugin provides?

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

Has Frisco overloaded that file? are you in fact editing the correct copy?

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

It’s vital to read the posts carefully and pick up on all the questions that may be asked by us as they are all asked for a definite reason and will allow us to work out the issue and hopefully the solution quickly with minimum of posts

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

What result did you expect? changing logins and taking your site down do not cure anything they are basic principles you must follow in advance of sitting down to examine those items I mentioned above.

You change logins so that you ensure if your passwords have been hacked then that entry point is closed immediately to prevent further exploits from happening, you take your site off line so poor hapless souls don’t visit your site and possibly pick up some nasty infection.

I would also contact your hosts tech support, often they can help.

[@hnla Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

Sounds like you’ve been compromised then, but little we can do to help based on the info you have supplied and this forum isn’t probably the best place to be asking really.

You need to investigate and you should by now have taken your site down from public access, changed all your login details; WP logins FTP/SSH then you need to start looking at your files and server logs – have you started any of that yet?

For security issues you will probably be better off posting on the WP forums.
