Sorry guys for some reason I don’t get emails sent to me when there is activity in my groups and I haven’t been too active here for a while. I have made a start and produced something usable, but haven’t worked on it for a while, so I would like to make this code available to anyone who is interested to expand on it. I managed to implement a feature to force users to complete mandatory fields in their profile if they haven’t done so.

Help yourselves… http://www.utechworld.com/files/public/buddypress-utech-user-manager.zip

Have fun …

Thanks to some terrific people, here is the solution now… https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-disable-activity-commenting/#post-92892

Hey thanks folks – it’s working! The form does not appear any more and I can still see all the activities. I used the “blank post-form.php file” method…
I appreciate your support.

[Meini]

Thanks mercime, so far I haven’t been able to get it to work. For some reason it does not “pick up” the information in activity/index.php in the child theme. I’ll have to do some more testing I guess, but so far, what you say makes sense, but nothing else does at the moment.

[Meini]

Thanks @mercime
Yes, I tried that, but it does not seem to have any effect. Users still have the option to type and post something in the “What’s new…” box

[Meini]

hey @mowie
Would you mind sharing your insight with the rest of us? What did you do so it stills shows all activities, but people can’t leave a comment on the activity page?
Also your website creates and error message when I click on a group, e.g. http://www.spinabifidabulldogs.com/groups/general/forum

Hey @pjnu
have you been able to sort out this issue? I am having the same.
Thanks
Meini

Hey Boone – you are such a genius! Thank you so much for your quick response and fix. My users will thank you! And thank you @LPH2005 too, for your input, which was very useful as it exactly reflected my issue.

[Meini]

Thanks for your replies so far. I too had set $bb_attachments =”read”, which had worked until recently. Changing it to “participate” hasn’t fixed the issue either, despite the fact that logged in users have the participate role turned on.

[Meini]

I am currently working on a user management plugin. It is still early days, but I have already implemented an initial version on a client’s website….

[Meini]

@myjive, did you find a solution? I am having the same issue here and can’t work out how to fix it.

[Meini]

#wp-admin-bar ul li ul {
bottom:25px;
}

should to that trick… hth

@jon, try this in your child theme’s css:

#wp-admin-bar {
top:inherit;
bottom:0;
}

you still have to change the drop down menu to rise up though. But it is a start….
Cheers
Meini

[Meini]

Actually – the workaround would be to Google for site:http://codex.buddypress.org followed by the term you look for.
HTH

[Meini]

Ah, thanks @Xevo, I started to think I was the only one as this situation has been like this for a while. Do you know who fixes these things? Or do you have a workaround?

[Meini]

Works great! Thanks @gasparking
I am also on 1.2.3 and @apeatling aka Andy reckons it will be in the next version… https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/whos-online-widget-not-working-think-its-a-mysql-timezone-problem/#post-49166

[Meini]

Solved it: Compatibility View was turned on in IE8. Once I turned it off, things worked as expected.

[Meini]

I have hit a problem with the drop down menu. I have been using David’s code successfully and adjusted it to my needs, but only noticed now that Internet Explorer does not show the menu correctly. It gets covered up by the main page I don’t understand why or how to fix it. It works in FireFox and Chrome though.

If someone could point me in the right direction please, that would be great.

[Meini]

@takeo David you are a genius! Thank you so much – works really well. I just wonder how it is done here on buddypress.org where the entire “community” is sitting in its own subfolder? Does anyone know? (I know the thread is a bit old, but…)

[Meini]

@kallemagnusson, I originally had the same issue as you. I always install WP in a sub folder and BP does not seem to cope too well with it. The fix that @gian-ava and @r-a-y recommended worked only on some of the links. Since I am very new to BuddyPress and this is a brand new site, I ended up moving the lot up one level so WP is now in the root folder. This will do for a start (path of least resistance)

Did you find a better solution?

[Meini]

Did you enclose it into php tags?
