You have a good point. I’ll unlock your thread. I suggest that you place a link back to this thread (for reference) and explain why you’re creating a new thread so that some other moderator does not do what I did!

So, you’ve managed to output the tab but cannot get the link to work?

Have you looked at the Skeleton Component–in particular in bp-example-core.php at the function bp_example_load_template_filter() and the section below that entitled “Screen Functions”?

Thread reopened.

You’re welcome! I’m glad you are up and running with BP Group forums. With respect to a forum control panel in WP’s back end, you are not missing anything. When using bbPress as a BP Groups forum component, there is no sitewide bbPress admin control. Instead, each BP group has the ability to have its […]

Your issue should be easy to fix! 1. Before going through this process, double check to make sure that the bbpress directory exists under /plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/. It should be there as it comes with a clean install of BP. 2. Assuming that checks out, then the next step is to make sure you have a backup […]

Please see my first post in this thread as I may have been editing it as you were typing your response. As for your immediate post question above, the table prefix is not necessarily an issue (but it could be). It really depends on how you are trying to use bbPress (as a standalone forum, […]

Are you trying to integrate an existing bbPress install with BP group’s? Or, is this a brand new bbPress install with no data? If the latter, there is no reason to do a separate install of bbPress. BuddyPress comes with a barebones version of bbPress already. It allows BP Groups to each have their own […]

That’s not possible with BuddyPress at this time. See this: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/faqs/ In fact, I don’t see this ever being an option in BP–even when the new bbPress plugin becomes available. Both BP and the upcoming plugin version of bbP are software layers that sit on top of WordPress. So each is responsible for their own […]

The way in which you check to make sure BuddyPress is installed and activated has changed over time. As @djpaul indicates, the proper way is to use a mypluginname_loader.php file and hook into the bp_include event: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/checking-buddypress-is-active/ The BuddyPress Skeleton Component is woefully out of…[Read more]

@brianfactor –

Oops! Nice catch. It is next Monday, November 15 as detailed in my BP update here: https://buddypress.org/community/members/jeffsayre/activity/115287

Interesting write up, @peterkirn. Please suggested this topic as a possible agenda item for tomorrow’s BP dev meeting: http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2010/10/30/the-next-dev-chat-will-be-on-wednesday-3/

Also, I assume that you’ve seen this older thread started by @foxly?…[Read more]

I have a single Apache/PHP install (the default MAMP version) and simply use Apache’s virtual host directive to host 9 different WordPress development sites locally. They all have their own test domain (they do not use “localhost”), and they use the default Apache port (80) and MySQL port (3306). It’s simple to set up and […]

I gave up a long time ago rolling my own WordPress and BuddyPress installs directly on OS X. It was too much of a pain for very little benefit. I switched to using MAMP (the free version) and both install easily without issue.

“For BP 1.3, we’re going to add current_user_can checks throughout so if someone wanted to add a capability to a certain role or user, they could.” Providing that flexibility is nice. However, with the exception of groups, there is no reason that the current BP core components need to offer the ability to assign roles. […]
