hran started the forum topic curious… rationale for building on top of wordpress in the group Requests & Feedback: 13 years, 5 months ago

I think WordPress is a great piece of software, and Buddypress is promising. However, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of overlap between the functionality of WordPress and the functionality of Buddypress. Buddypress doesn’t even use WordPress posts, and integration with the WordPress user system is optional. I’m just curious… why not have BuddyPress […]

hran started the forum topic really simple question — having a basic wordpress blog within buddypress in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 8 months ago

I’m sure the answer to this is obvious, but: I have the default BuddyPress theme, with Activity, Groups, Forum, and Members tabs. How can I have a normal tab for just a normal (sitewide) WordPress blog? Basically my organization is going to use BuddyPress for social networking, but would also like to have a plain-vanilla […]

hran posted on the forum topic suggestion: for removing activity, instead of "Delete", say "Hide" in the group Requests & Feedback: 13 years, 8 months ago

I agree with you on a technical level that it is actually deleting it. I just anticipate my users thinking that their Forum post (or photo, or wiki page, etc) is deleted, and becoming upset later when they realize that the post is still there. They’re not used to thinking of Activity as a separate […]

Delete implies that the item itself (e.g. forum post) will be deleted, when really what you’re talking about is removing the item from Activity, i.e. hiding it. So how about renaming Delete to Hide?

hran posted on the forum topic feature request: moderate new users in the group Requests & Feedback: 13 years, 8 months ago

I looked at s2member, but it seems like extreme overkill for the kind of stuff I am going to be doing. We aren’t using PayPal or tiered memberships or anything like that. I just want an intermediate step where user are activated but can’t use the site until I manually approve them. As is, it […]

Cool. What format should patch files be in? Unified diff format?

hran posted on the forum topic disable activity but only in groups in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 8 months ago

SOLUTION: I did this by adding the theme file groups/single/activity.php to my child theme, and then changing the post-form.php to post-form-groups.php. Then I added activity/post-form-groups.php to my child theme as a blank file. Now the “home” part of the group still shows all activity for the group (forum posts, document uploads through the…[Read more]

I’m a software engineer and might like to contribute a few minor bug fixes and enhancements to the Buddypress code base — nothing major, but minor things as I find them. Is this allowed? Is it possible to get an SVN account?

hran started the forum topic disable activity but only in groups in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 8 months ago

Is there a way to keep activity stream for the Activity tab but disable it for groups? It seems confusing that groups have both a Forum and an Activity stream, and I can see users posting an Activity update when they really should have started a Forum thread.

hran started the forum topic feature request: moderate new users in the group Requests & Feedback: 13 years, 8 months ago

It would be good, when open registration is enabled, to be able to approve/disapprove of new users before they are allowed to interact with Buddypress. Right now you can turn off new registrations entirely, or enable them entirely, but it’s hard to moderate them. There is a plugin called Register Plus Redux, which lets you […]

hran started the forum topic can’t override image in the group Creating & Extending: 13 years, 8 months ago

I have the “buddypress-colours” theme which is a really simple theme with just a few CSS colors and some images. I am trying to override the header background image (of the default theme) so that I can make it red instead of blue. I’ve successfully changed the image in wp-contentthemesbuddypress-colours_incimages, but browsers are still loading […]

hran started the forum topic large number of notices showing up in debug mode in the group Installing BuddyPress: 13 years, 8 months ago

Is this normal and expected (WordPress 3.1.1, BuddyPress 1.2.8)? I would think that coding like this would be bad, for example for the undefined offsets and properties, you’d normally want to check that they exist before trying to read. ` Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, […]

hran posted on the forum topic Fatal Error on activating BuddyPress Plugin in the group Installing BuddyPress: 13 years, 8 months ago

I increased the memory to 64mb and that did solve the problem of running out of memory. There are a vast number of notices that show up in debug mode but I’ll post a new thread about them.

Also I’m running PHP 5.2, not 5.3

This is 1.2.8, but your link says it was fixed in 1.2.6. Maybe there was a regression? I agree about fixing this first.

hran posted on the forum topic Fatal Error on activating BuddyPress Plugin in the group Installing BuddyPress: 13 years, 8 months ago

I am having the same problem, but are you sure this isn’t a bug in the plugin? It shouldn’t need 33MB of RAM just to activate the plugin. I got the same error trying to activate Buddypress 1.2.8 on a fresh install of WordPress 3.1.1 on a high-quality host. There are a huge number of […]
