Hehe so CowPress don’t work… Darn . Happy beta testing though.

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

No problem glad you found something.

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

Anything WordPress could be creeping over and not playing well is my worry to be honest. I’d really recommend as much as possible trying a default set up. Not sure what theme you are using but defaulting there could also be good as a back to basics test. Least if you get it working you can build up from there?

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

Hmm guess it may be time then for you to do the old “remove plugins turn one by one on”. I know it can be a pain but that may be required.

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

Are you using any plugins aside from BuddyPress? If so what happens when they are removed?

Also do you have perhaps a link to your site and can you look in your error logs for PHP if you can even ask your hosting company about that?

One final check is that you are using PHP 5 on your server?

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

Without modification this is what you are limited to with regards to roles and capabilities:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

However there are a number of permissions and membership level plugins out there which may offer variations.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=Permissions&sort=
https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/?search=User

I think perhaps though your sticking point may be admin check without admin rights though.

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

I don’t seem able to edit which is … however also a third part to question: do you mean activity showing on the front?

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

Do you just want a list of blog posts or posts from the network on the front?

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

I just tested this and whilst yes I can ‘see’ I can’t edit. I get this message:

“You must log in to access the page you requested.”

I’m not really sure about the ins and outs of what should / shouldn’t happen there but if you think a different behaviour then I’d encourage you to log a ticket. I just tried in the 1.3 trunk so it is something you’d want to perhaps also test on that. Even better would be if you logged the ticket and have a patch as that’s always really cool.

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

This probably would be better as a feaure request over on trac :

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

I’m assuming you are looking to get this done as a change to BuddyPress not just a custom edit or plugin right?

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

Could this work with a empty checking or null value on the $data? That would be my first suggestion.

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

I haven’t tried it so not 100% sure how compatible this one is:

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

I don’t get any cropping issues so my first thoughts would be you say you have a version of the default theme from an older BuddyPress install. Can you try the newer version that came with 1.2.9 please? Also do you have any issues with other media uploading say through the media uploader?

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

Just my two cents but alphabetical to me would just be on name not on other fields also. Others may have different opinions but to me just being on name makes sense as a default

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

Are you using the default theme? I say this as in the header there is a search along with on the member pages. Perhaps you can confirm what theme and maybe provide a link so I can take a look?

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

There is the now outdated BuddyPress mobile plugin.

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-mobile

However perhaps a different take and you could look at using a responsive theme that caters for multiple devices there was recently one released. I will add I’ve not used it but heard good things.

http://themeloom.com/themes/xi-theme/

Also you may want to check the repo out for anyone doing that for free (https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/) – I seem to recall a free one was in works which is really cool.

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

Assuming you’ve made it as a page template and assigned it then you want to go under settings > reading and there you can set the pages for the front and also blog posts.

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

Are you using a theme or a custom theme for this? Would help in narrowing down the issue to also have a link to your site – it’s a little hard to give a response otherwise without knowing everything.

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

No problem it’s also a great opportunity with BuddyPress 1.4 for people to get stuck in UI and design / theme wise so I’d strongly encourage anyone theme / design focused to start attending the developer meetings on Wednesday. Really exciting shiny pixel pusher times

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

Glad this one is in repo sterling job there @mercime.

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

Hmm weird I’m seeing it working for me. I’m using the default BuddyPress theme and it shows friend activity for me.

My first thoughts are ‘maybe’ (long shot) a theme or plugin could be interfering – have you tried without plugins and using the default theme. Seems that probably wouldn’t cause that though.

Scratching my head a little as in a few tests I come up with it working for me sorry. Maybe someone else will be able to replicate if you can let us know your version for WordPress and BuddyPress and browser (long shot again that it’s browser but playing safe).

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

It could be a plugin it could also be something easily fixed with a browser cache clear – have you tried that? Best practice advice would be to browser cache clear, remove each plugin one by one, remove each widget one by one… all else fails try the default BuddyPress theme and rest your permlinks.

If all that doesn’t work just post a link to your site and that will help people in looking at what is going on to see if they can help you.

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

Your going to be best off having a look at plugins – your developer should be able to do this for you also.

A good starting point is the extend section of this site. https://buddypress.org/extend/

Lets see if we can get one on track though for you. For the activity stream editor you may want to start with: http://teleogistic.net/code/buddypress/bp-tinymce/

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

I think the answer is fairly varied. My view is do you want a community or just the upload bit? Do you want discussions around mix tapes? Favourites?

An upload and share nothing else yes could be done using a BuddyPress but it could also with just WordPress. I’d guess though the community stuff really would also be important right? If so then yes use BuddyPress. Sounds an interesting adaption of a BuddyPress site.

[@karmatosed Moderator 15 years, 3 months ago]

Just to clarify, did you get that message when you installed or when you clicked a particular page? In other words at what point did you get that error?
