If it’s your site and you have access to the relevant files then change the strings at the file level, it’s not strictly the way to do it but you have a point and editing a language file for one word is a PITA.

Running all text strings through the internationalisation functions means that the site is flexible and that alternate languages can be dropped into place via one file.

Ask your host to ensure your domain has a RDNS record for the server

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

I’ve mentioned this quite a few times on this support forum, if you want to get emails through to the more annoying of the email services out there you must ensure you have a RDNS entry PTA record and also an SPF entry for you domain hotmail is failing to be able to check these two records and thus considering mail from your server to be spam.

One thing this isn’t is a problem with BP or WP it’s about server and domain configuration.

It’s using the new bbPress plugin, you will need to grab a copy from the bbPress site and install alongside your BP install – it is in beta stage at the moment though, although not for much longer?

If you check through all the options for groups as admin you will find settings to manage all aspects of a group.

Not sure I understand the second question, you should be able to login from the sidebar which will return you to the front or home page.

If you are still using a custom theme, I would advise you work with the BP default theme first to get used to the system working fully as custom themes can cause issues with missing functionality.

It would help if you showed what you had attempted rather than link to a guide for WP templates, then someone will be able to spot where you are going wrong, also tell us what loop you are trying to query and output.

@mercime I got buddypress-member-profile-stats updated to work with 3.1 and almost had restrict-group-creation working but I think some BP functions/hooks must have changed for 1.3 as it’s proving harder to kick into action.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Have a search through the plugins listings, there’s a plugin that will set admin only group create.

‘Restrict Group Creation’ by nuprn1

edit// forget this I haven’t got it fully working
As this is a useful utility plugin have updated it to work with WP 3.1 as the author no longer supports it but need to contact the author to see how to update the repo.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

You could try:
`ID, ‘ghostpool_layout’, true) == “Full Width” || bp_is_forum_component() && bp_is_directory() )`

You might need to play around with the order of those queries though and I’m not sure what that custom conditional is working on so can’t be sure that is all that is required, does it wrap the sidebar call? The reference to page.php is odd as this doesn’t have anything to do with BP forums the BP forums directory is under the /forums folder index.php

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

That’s just some bare character data ‘welcome back’ would need to be a string echoed e.g echo ‘Welcome Back’;

But why don’t you just add the text to sidebar?

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

You need both template pack and BP, but template pack is only required if you have an existing theme you want to make BP compatible. There are a couple of guides to setting up the template pack in the BP codex. If I were you though I would run with the BP-default theme.

As much as auto installs are discouraged as they often present issues, in theory it should be a one click install, if it isn’t working then it’s really down to the support desk to try and get it sorted not fob you off, but then on a free account I’m afraid I wouldn’t be expecting too much help also you may find that a free account won’t run WP/BP that well as it will be very restricted in allocated resources.

Sadly plugin development has no real earnings model that works, if only half the people that downloaded the more popular plugins – downloaded in the thousands quite often – contributed $1.00 it would at least perhaps spur the authors on but it doesn’t appear to happen.

You might club together with the OP and perhaps approach a developer?

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

By auto install I guess you mean a hosting control panel auto install? If permissions are wrong for your directories and you are on shared hosting then you will need to contact your hosting tech support to resolve the issue.

With the manual install do you mean you tried to FTP the files up to the server?

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

I you need that sort of functionality you always have the option of hiring a BP developer to create it for you, waiting for someone to code up a free plugin might be a long wait.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

updated local trunk and can confirm fix works.

Of course won’t be retrospective for old orphaned replies.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

edit// oops there you go problem solved

Confirmed on trunk, of course one can always go through the activity stream and delete replies manually

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

knew Boone would have the answer, I was only wrong on the assumed complexity of the task, now it just needs to be turned into a plugin with dashboard interface :0

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Forget that html5 an unratified proposal don’t forget things may change, behavior is the safe way of handling this, and anyway you would need to switch to a plain Doc Type sans formal identifier.

You avant guard coders !

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

I guessing there were no responses as the question/request is far from a straightforward one and there isn’t a means to do this within BP.

In theory you can achieve whatever you like as long as your prepared to manipulate the DB at the sql level and undoubtedly it would be possible to create a sql script to handle this, but writing and testing it is likely an involved process.

As to whether BP can handle this many records? don’t see why not ( although these are huge amounts of groups to be having to sort through on the site, and I wonder how effectively one would be able to search through them) unless some query within BP would cause issues, MySQL should handle records/rows with ease, excessive tables are another story.

This is the sort of job for someone quite experienced I would think, however there are some import plugins that might get you halfway there, thinking of boonebgorges Ning importer where there are probably ‘bits’ that could be used and modified

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

You can pass parameters to most loops, for bp_has_members() try

`’&exclude=1′ `or whatever user id is relevant so on the default members dir page in members-loop you would do:

`( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’).’&exclude=1′ ) ) `

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

@mercime isn’t that what I wrote a few posts up although my version was more concise

However since that was written there were other changes made to BP styles so I had to revise that to simply ‘bp-default-main’ as resets ‘spit’ were moved into main, so removing or de-registering reset.css ‘spit’ is no longer needed in this respect.

[@hnla Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Try opening /members/single/home.php and to the element `

` add a class `

`

That should now allow you to add specific styles to any page within a set of member account/profile screens

`.member-account .padder {margin-right: 0;}`

N.B. this is for bp-default theme and you should really effect these changes in a child theme otherwise the changes will be lost on upgrade to BP
