awesome @johnmcole — how did you fix this via CSS as you mention?

do you have code you can share, or somehow indicate what it is exactly you did?

i’d be eternally grateful for this…please post when you can, thanks!

[@lookingahead Participant 8 years, 1 month ago]

you are aaamaaaazing, @prashantvatsh !!!! thank you!!!!

[@lookingahead Participant 8 years, 1 month ago]

Any update to this bug being fixed? I’m having the same issue.

[@lookingahead Participant 8 years, 1 month ago]

P.S. — I have combed through several files in the plugin folder…I thought it might be in the “groups-loop” file but changing a few things in there didn’t work out. Maybe I changed the wrong things, lol…

[@lookingahead Participant 8 years, 1 month ago]

and if this is not the correct file in which to change that message as i’m trying to change….please let me know.

[@lookingahead Participant 8 years, 1 month ago]

oh that fixed it by the way, thanks for the link @shanebp

now, the only weird thing i need to fix is the fact that the group title is not showing and instead says, ‘hidden group’

why in the world this would be something to show in lieu of the group title is beyond me. the group title is nowhere to be shown on the page, at all….so if a user is part of multiple hidden groups it can get confusing very fast, if they can’t figure out which group they’re in without going through comments, etc…i’d rather not do that to users.

i want the title of the group to show where it says, ‘hidden group’ rather than the message that it’s hidden.

if for some reason that is ‘too complex a task’ for buddypress to handle or involves a lot of wacky workarounds, i’d rather change that message to something else that i can use as a default, and then just use the description to signify which group they’re in, and what the group was created for.

@ipokkel lol NEVERMIND….was looking at the wrong file.

used your fix and it worked. 😀 THANK YOUUUUUU

P.S.: going on a coffee run right now. lol it’s apparent that i neeeed it, haha….

😀

[@lookingahead Participant 8 years, 1 month ago]

@ipokkel unfortunately that line (line 62) does not exist, and it appears there’s been a change to that file since you posted your workaround.

so where would i place that fix now? there appear to be several places that are similar to the code you mentioned, but nothing is exactly the code you mentioned…i think. i may have missed it if it is elsewhere; short on coffee today. 😀

thoughts?

here’s the code in that file:

<?php
/**
 * BuddyPress - Groups Header
 *
 * @since 3.0.0
 * @version 3.1.0
 */
?>

<?php bp_get_template_part( 'groups/single/parts/header-item-actions' ); ?>

<?php if ( ! bp_disable_group_avatar_uploads() ) : ?>
	<div id="item-header-avatar">
		<a href="<?php echo esc_url( bp_get_group_permalink() ); ?>" class="bp-tooltip" data-bp-tooltip="<?php echo esc_attr( bp_get_group_name() ); ?>">

			<?php bp_group_avatar(); ?>

		</a>
	</div><!-- #item-header-avatar -->
<?php endif; ?>

<div id="item-header-content">

	<p class="highlight group-status"><strong><?php echo esc_html( bp_nouveau_group_meta()->status ); ?></strong></p>

	<p class="activity" data-livestamp="<?php bp_core_iso8601_date( bp_get_group_last_active( 0, array( 'relative' => false ) ) ); ?>">
		<?php
		echo esc_html(
			sprintf(
				/* translators: %s = last activity timestamp (e.g. "active 1 hour ago") */
				__( 'active %s', 'buddypress' ),
				bp_get_group_last_active()
			)
		);
		?>
	</p>

	<?php bp_nouveau_group_hook( 'before', 'header_meta' ); ?>

	<?php if ( bp_nouveau_group_has_meta_extra() ) : ?>
		<div class="item-meta">

			<?php echo bp_nouveau_group_meta()->extra; ?>

		</div><!-- .item-meta -->
	<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if ( ! bp_nouveau_groups_front_page_description() ) { ?>
			<?php if ( bp_nouveau_group_meta()->description ) { ?>
				<div class="group-description">
					<?php echo bp_nouveau_group_meta()->description; ?>
				</div><!-- //.group_description -->
			<?php	} ?>
		<?php } ?>

</div><!-- #item-header-content -->

<?php bp_nouveau_group_header_buttons(); ?>

Thanks, @shanebp — is this also tied to why I can’t change the cover photo and why I can’t change the avatar?

[@lookingahead Participant 8 years, 1 month ago]

Here’s what I’m talking about:

[@lookingahead Participant 8 years, 1 month ago]

Oh, and also the weird box with gradients and etc. goes away with switching to “avatar only”…but it remains when I have “cover photo only” enabled. So it has something to do with the cover photo layout…

[@lookingahead Participant 8 years, 1 month ago]

that plugin has several issues…unfortunately. one look at the reviews and i knew that was not a plugin i’d ever use.

i decided to not try to upload pics in the activity stream afterall. i’m going to just go with the forums and am using GD image there; works well.

my new issue: trying to figure out where the template/shortcode is in either bbPress or BuddyPress that creates a topic discussion page. the page where the actual topic discussion takes place…not merely the default forum page with all the topics listed there.

if you know where i can find that shortcode/code that structures the topic page where the topic itself is discussed, please let me know…

[@lookingahead Participant 8 years, 1 month ago]

yes — i’m aware, @shanebp lol

i’m asking how to do this in buddypress and mentioned bbpress for reference

can you actually help or are you just responding to tell me to go elsewhere?

[@lookingahead Participant 8 years, 1 month ago]

tried — did not work.

[@lookingahead Participant 8 years, 1 month ago]

P.S.: I’m using bbPress with BuddyPress….

And when I mentioned (above) that an alternative solution could be using the activity stream to “allow for uploading pictures,” I’m referring to the ‘updates’ (comments) people make that are made ~directly~ on the group front page.

So what I was trying to make happen was that group members would be able to include pictures in their direct updates to the group ‘wall’/front page.

I’m not referring to updates that they make in forums elsewhere on the site that populate in the Activity Stream automatically. 🙂
