lincme.co.uk posted on the forum topic Remove the 'view' button in the activity stream in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 3 months ago
Hi @rogercoathup; I removed the View link from the activity stream by putting the following in the theme’s functions.php file; add_filter(‘bp_activity_permalink’, create_function(‘$a’, “return null;”)); To remove it from the Profile page required a core hack, which I keep separate so I can restore/overwrite if need be. (I could be wrong about…[Read more]

Hi @antonrsa; I’ve been looking into this myself, but have given up on it for now as very time-consuming to research and do properly. Being as it’s all browser based (not my usual bread and butter), there are lots of ways using JavaScript, and a Google search will provide links to free code that’s not difficult […]

@kevbow; Not sure if this is any help, but @r-a-y‘s oEmbed does a good job with various video formats, turning plain links into embedded videos. You can see it working at one of @erich‘s sites; http://madeinaustria.com/activity. Works really well, and is simple enough for technophobic site members!

@DJPaul Hey Paul. I guess I come across as aggressive or something, as a few people don’t respond well to things I’ve posted on bp.org? I’m certainly not a pushy person, but I do tend to speak my mind, and I think doing so is important for people to honestly share so things move forward. Also, I do take the mickey a lot! There have been occasions…[Read more]

@hotforwords Well what I meant to you in particular was that I doubt there’s any need for the word ‘even’. What I meant to droolers is, don’t drool… you know? Your work is fun, but perhaps too many don’t get it. ๐

All you do is unzip the theme, then copy it into your /wp-content/themes/ folder and activate it in WordPress. Very easy. You can play with it by editing the files, and activate the default theme if you make a mess.

Hi @enginlofca; You can just change the CSS files to alter text sizes, but if you want a theme which provides smaller fonts while still emphasising member posts you’re welcome to a copy of ours. It’s very like Facebook without being a total copy, and is available at http://lincme.co.uk/downloads/bp-facelook.zip

@alanchrishughes; It’s not difficult to create a child theme. I’ll try to put it in newbie terms as I’ve become increasingly aware that a) lots of WP and BP newbies seek help here, and b) we’re all newbies until we know something, at which point it becomes “easy and why didn’t I think of that before”..!

Thanks. What a rip-off eh? Erm, I mean homage, homage, darn it. The Facebook style works well for the purpose I think, as thereโs lots of room for content. Weโll be adding a nice home page slideshow and various goodies soon.

@peterverkooijen Hi Peter. Yeah, I was getting very frustrated with BP on and off, but aside from creating our own tools (maybe in another life) it’s the best option all round. I haven’t tried an older version, but have got the fledgling site looking and working as we want. Lots more to do on it of course, but the basics are there.
I think I was…[Read more]

Can’t find anything about this just now, so if you know a quick answer or can point somewhere I’d be grateful. I want to have public groups, sometimes with long posts in them, but stop the posts from appearing in the main activity stream to keep it tidy. Is there a simple way to do […]

@alierkurt; I found your post here whilst taking a break from, well, breaking things in BP. ๐
Not sure what you mean though. Why would members need to post in a group they haven’t joined? I’d have thought that’s the basic idea; you join one to post in it (and read too, if it’s hidden).

@Dennis_H; Have to laugh! BP has made me cranky as hell during the past couple of weeks, as nothing is easy with it. I actually trashed all the downloaded files, plugins, etc., THREE times in a hissy fit! The thing is, it’s the only way at present to have a working social network with member groups, […]

I’ve just uploaded our Facelook theme to the WP site (which it says will appear on here too sometime). For anyone thinking, “Oh no, not another Facebook clone”, you could change the colours, etc., easily enough. The main aim is lots of space for content, and simplification for ordinary site visitors (ie., non-techies). It’s a […]

@peterverkooijen Hi Peter. Yes, we have a new baby site at lincme.co.uk, which was working ok until a couple of days ago when I upgraded BP. I lost my member friends who were testing it, and am now rebuilding. Ho hum. We’re now on WP 3.0 and BP 1.2.5.
I dumped BP for a third time(!) and used Mingle, but the problem is that we *really* need…[Read more]

I see LincMe is back up. It was down the first time I looked. Looks very slick, more transparant than the default theme at least.
So what are you going to do? Just roll with the snowball. The Members. Groups, Forums mess only seems to have gotten worse between 1.1.3 and 1.2.5. I stick with 1.1.3 in the hope I can simplify and untangle them over…[Read more]

@alanchrishughes; Ah, sorry. I wasn’t implying that you were criticising the BP developers, more that I’ve criticised the project and product, which is easy to do when you’re not involved in it. (And sometimes when you are, too!)

@peterverkooijen; It’s all good, and once we’ve had a few ruffled feathers we can get down to sharing really useful ideas, eh? I don’t think you’re “wrong”, any more than I think I’m “right”. We probably see more the same way than not. As for BP as a project, sadly, it’s perhaps too late to go […]
