Unless someone can see a better way to optimize this file, this is my final online version:

This turns out to be a buggered up .htaccess – and since I didn’t touch it – something in a plugin went rummaging through the file and wiped out the optimizations.

Here is my current one – maybe someone can share a really good one that is optimized:

Maybe this will help. But I don’t use this plugin so I’m not sure if it includes the widget used on this site.

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/gpress/

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Yes, hnla, an active session.

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2575 looks like the same issue.

BP 1.2.5.2

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Go to the domain.com/member/account and use the pull down from the admin bar to mark the account as “not a spammer”

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Are you sure that the email was not placed in a spam folder?

Login as admin and go to domain.name/members/userid

There should be a marking stating the person is marked as a spammer. This comes from not activating the account from the email. It can be easily changed by pulling down from the admin bar.

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

“I’d do it with jquery. When the page loads, replace all but the most recent replies with a Read More link.”

Would you mind sharing this code? I’d love to see it working.

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

This is the activity loop

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/

And I see options for how many to show but setting a max of 2 wouldn’t place a link for others to be seen … at least not that I can tell.

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Interesting request – anyone have a suggestion?

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Found my error ! Thank you. Just in case someone else wants to try this, here is the code:

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

You might check out https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

Done. Fixed the css and child theme so that the tutoring area looks acceptable.

http://www.thechembook.com/tutoring/

Here is the code in case someone else is interested. This is the [child-theme]/forums/index.php file

http://pastebin.com/cEGmNL5X

Hope this helps.

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

Thank you but I can’t seem to get

if ( bp_has_groups( ‘slug=announcements’) )

to do anything for me. It’s just ignored … hmm.

In contrast, I can get max=5 to work

if ( bp_has_groups( ‘max=5’ ) )

Update

These are the options:

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-groups-loop/

But slug doesn’t seem to work for me.

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

Yippeee ! LOL

OK. All emotion aside – I’m almost there! http://www.thechembook.com/tutoring/

There needs to be some ways to limit the number of topics shown.

Boone, I almost did what you suggested but decided to copy the table code from the /forum-loop.php directly into the index.php file rather than calling the forum-loop.

Also, the code for limiting to only certain groups isn’t working for me. I must be doing something wrong there.

Here is what is online right now (and almost works!)

http://pastebin.com/BMfzexrz

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

I’m back: fed and rested.

Thank you Boone for helping. I’m only looking for topics shown as sorted by group … So, let me repeat some of this back and see if my understanding was your intent.

First, [theme]/forums/index.php is the file to edit.

Second, if I only want topics sorted within groups then I can create a bp_has_groups() that includes the while statements you suggest.

Third, thank you (again!) for the short version. I’ll see what I can do to try to figure this out.

In the meantime, if someone already has code to share then please feel free to post.

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

UGH. I’m getting so irritated that it’s time to leave the computer. There must be a way to get my site to work like https://buddypress.org/support/topics/grouped/. It seems such a simple request. I can’t believe it isn’t an option or obvious. Nothing I’ve tried seems to work.

Time for a break. Maybe someone with knowledge will take pity here and help.

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

Tried to modify /forum/index.php and insert slug=GroupName if statement and all of the topics are returned … so either the slug name is incorrect or the code … or the placement of the code … or … just too many options here.

Guess this means BP devs should consider a better way to do this when bbpress becomes its own plugin acting in concert with BP (4th quarter of this year or so). This should just simply be an option.

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

@Modemlooper

I’ve been looking at your code and can’t seem to get the GroupName slug to match up with anything. Is the GroupName the URL? Or is it something else?

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

Now we are talking! Thank you both for information.

Yes, I’ve seen the /grouped and that is why I asked about it. It’s the way the forum topics need to be shown on my site.

Oooo … @deanjrobinson has done a SWEET job on http://help.deanjrobinson.com/

Now – if only someone would share what they’ve done! It looks like Dean planned on a theme – but plans can always get off to a slow start

@Modemlooper – well – I have the forum extra’s plugin and that gives an index. But the preference is to have the group shown with the latest topics below them (pagination necessary).

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

Is this code anywhere? I can’t believe I’m the only one interested in this code – it makes so much sense – to be able to sort the latest topics into groups …

Sigh.

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

It’s great to see this site active – but (smile) – is the theme developer online these days to answer this question? I’d love for the forum topic list to be sorted into groups ….

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

A search doesn’t bring up an answer – anyone know how to find this code?

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

I decided to add “BuddyPress Registration Groups” plugin — but this doesn’t solve most of the issues but it’s a start.

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

Yep – I have it installed but I have students from last year that need to be moved out of one group and have new kids registering that are not getting into the correct ones … so I’m looking for a fast way to get things fixed (organized).

[@lph2005 Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

Is there a way so Courseware only shows in one particular group and not all of the groups?
