Gah! Good that it’s known, I guess.

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

The fix that @shamus posted sort of worked for me…I still get the red error box if I try to delete a user from the front end, but I’m able to do it just fine from the admin panel.

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

@AviM: If you wanted attempt to go the child theme route (which really isn’t that hard at all), you could always just put a bp_group_is_admin conditional around the group activity stream update form on groups/single/activity.php. It’s worked fine for me.

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

@foralien: changing that one line totally did it! Thanks so much for the help!!

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

@foralien: thanks so much for even taking the time to look! Ill definitely play around with the changes you’ve suggested and see if that fixes the issue. If not, it’s not too big a deal, just another thing on the “when I get to it” to-do list, lol

And thanks for the compliment on the site! I know I haven’t really done too much exciting stuff with design/layout, but I’ve worked really hard on under-the-hood stuff

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

Thanks

I’m up for any help I can get…I checked out your list of top sites, but unfortunately, mine doesn’t fit very well into any of them.

At this point, I’m planning on posting on other parenting, cloth diaper, and crafting related sites (mine is geared toward all of those communities), as well as trying to motivate my beta users to spread the word. I’m also thinking of covertly taping quarter page fliers to the backs of disposable diaper boxes at Target, but my husband thinks that might be going a bit too far, lol!

No one wants to share?

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

Nevermind, someone in #wordpress IRC just wrote me a plugin

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

I whole heartedly agree with @dennis_h about the forums being the group default tab/group landing page. I honestly don’t even understand the point of having both group forums and group activity streams. It’s very confusing. On my site, I’ve done the little hack found here in the support forums to make groups open directly onto the group’s forum, and put a conditional around the group activity stream post box so that only group admins can even see it.

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

I haven’t had anyone complaining, really, but I do have new members constantly saying that it’s going to take them a while to figure out how things work. I’m pandering to a vbulletin forum crowd, but most of them are also Facebookers, so I don’t really understand what’s so confusing for them *shrug*

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

Aha! That’s what I needed, thanks Rich

One of these days some of this syntax crap will actually sink into my brain and I won’t have to ask silly n00b questions like this anymore!

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

Ok, I sorta figured it out, but have another issue…I’m using the bp_default theme, and on forums/forums-loop.php, line #1, we have (all brackets replaced by curlies b/c I have no idea how to add code to this forum):

{?php if ( bp_has_forum_topics( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘forums’ ) ) ) : ?}

According to the bp docs, I’m supposed to add this to that line somehow:

per_page=5

Um, where would I add that? I tried just doing this, but it totally broke the pagination (which I need):

{?php if ( bp_has_forum_topics( ‘per_page=5’ ) ) : ?}

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

@Dwenaus: is this the piece of code from the group tags plugin that I’m supposed to be looking at? I’m not sure what to do with it

Solved via a ridiculously complicated process that I’ve detailed here:

Hope that helps someone else!

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

I have the same thing happening in 3.0 RC3.

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

Not sure what to tel you about the theme issues you’re having (I just modified the BP default one), but I get what you mean about the BP groups/forums confusion.

The audience I’m after is used to vbulletin forums, so I actually found some code posted here on BP.org that made groups open onto the group forum by default, and then I put a conditional around the activity stream posting thing on the group activity pages that only allows admins to see/use that. This way, all group activity id funneled into the forums, unless the group admin just feels the need to post something to the activity stream. I also just did away with the ability to post activity stream updates from the sitewide stream page, but you could just modify the ‘post update to’ dropdown menu there to hide and make it post to the user’s profile only.

All in all, I’ve found that Buddypress can be a bit of work if you want to change the way it does certain things, but for most people the features are worth the trade-off of some extra work. I hope you get it all figured out and working the way you’d like

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

resolved!

@him666, you have to create one. It goes in the plugins folder

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

bump!

Thanks for the offer to help! I feel like I need a lot of it nowadays, unfortunately. I can’t wait until I’m familiar enough with BP to start helping others!

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

thanks for the reply, @foralien! A lot of what you said has gone right over my head, though

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

@foralien‘s fix did not work on my site. I use subdirectories for member sites…could that be the problem, and can the fix code be altered for use with subdirectory setups?

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

hello in here!

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

nevermind, it was the fault of a plugin *headdesk*

[@justbishop Member 16 years, 4 months ago]

Anyone? Pretty please?
