Search on WP extend plugins directory shows https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery-voting/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

It depends on which Gallery/Album/Media plugin you’re using, whether it be WP- or BP-compatible plugins. Some plugins have ratings added onto their media plugins, some don’t.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

There’s none that I am aware of that does this in group or sitewide forums. You’d either have to write the code yourself or hire a developer to do so.

@hindicell easiest way is to create specific header and footer (matching closing div) files for your register page. To do so:

1. Copy your theme’s header.php file and save copy as header-registerpage.php
2. Copy your theme’s footer.php file and save copy as footer-registerpage.php
3. Open up your theme’s registration/register.php file.
4. At the very top of the register file, change
get_header( 'buddypress' )
to
get_header( 'registerpage' )
5. At the very bottom of the register file, change
get_footer( 'buddypress' )
to
get_footer( 'registerpage' )
6. Adjust codes in your new files as needed.

@willusername after you activate BuddyPress, you have to go through the Installation Wizard https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installation-wizard/

Complete the process first before installing/activating BP Template pack plugin for WP theme compatibility with BP.

Re no admin bar, check if your theme’s footer.php file has the wp_footer call right before the closing body and html tags

We are aware of the issue https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3727 Please create a new topic instead of adding onto 2-year-old threads. Closing this thread.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

There was a free one that hasn’t been updated for a while https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-xtra-signup/ but if you’d like to dive in and update the code yourself go ahead.

There’s a premium TOS plugin which is compatible with BP http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/terms-of-service/

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

There’s a document sharing plugin for BP https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-docs/
And that’s about it except for Gallery/Album plugins
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too.

I see that you’ve posted at the plugin’s forums at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-gtm-system and that’s the best place to post the issue.

Know that this is the holiday season so the possibility that the plugin will be updated within the next few days is low. If you’ve made a backup of your database and server files before you upgraded, I suggest reverting back to your old WP version install with those backups if you need GTM working.

Also restored about 60 pages which some troll had trashed.

That’s downright nasty.
Thanks Paul.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

Thanks. Codex will be back soon.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

Good screenshot. The “widget-like” you are referring to is the sidebar of the theme with what looks to be default widgets

I’ve already gone through step 3 on the BP Compatibility plugin

I see that the instructions of the theme page in Themeforest require you to activate BP template pack plugin “to get the fancy AJAX functionality”, but it didn’t say that you’d have to go through step 3 of the compatibility process — because when you do, the sidebar drops down below content.

You might need to re-upload the clean copy of your theme in server then just activate BP template pack without going through step 3 of the compatiblity process. If that doesn’t work, please contact the theme author for support and clearer instructions since the theme is supposed to be BUDDYPRESS-ready.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

@sbla I see the empty boxes in the other BP pages I visited in your site along the empty boxes in the sidebar of your regular pages e.g. http://siliconbeachla.com/about/our-story/ This is a theme issue. Some solutions:

1) Open up your theme’s sidebar.php and make changes posted here http://pastebin.com/GyrrSgbg @emiluzelac ping!

and/or

2) You can also make the change in Step 3 of the BP compatiblity process. If you intended a full page layout for your BuddyPress pages, then open up the BP template files you made the original changes in and remove the line in each.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

What about the Prev/Next links exactly?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

Cool. Marking this as resolved 🙂

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

Merry Christmas and a Prosperous, Happy New Year!
Peace.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

@sbla Copy over the “BuddyPress Component Finishing Styles” frpm https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ then adjust to taste.

How can I hide this menu item for users who are logged in only as it does not show up in the menus under Appearance.

@voopress The code above shows the link only for logged in users. The link won’t show up if they’re not logged in. Why would you want to “hide this menu item for users who are logged in only”?

instead of hacking the php file

There’s no hacking being done here 🙂 You’re legitimately adding a filter to include the dynamic link to the menu. You can change the markup in the code posted just so those additional class/es would match those of the IfMenu’s. I’m not aware of any menu plugin which allows you to add a dynamic link.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

but I know nothing about programming and can barely read HTML.

That could be a bit of a problem. If given an instruction like in this link (your theme will require a different instruction) http://wp.me/p1I84P-1l can you download folders from server via e.g. FTP and implement the changes as instructed?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

What do you mean by “widget-like”? Does the error show up on your sidebar/s? Could you be more explicit? Site URI?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

and when I go to the setup menu plugin

Do you mean Appearance > Menu panel rather than setup menu plugin?

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

Add to your theme’s functions.php file http://pastebin.com/HSpJNLyV

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

@factorian Re the how to’s in applying the patch: if this is your first time to do anything like this, I would suggest that you implement it on a test installation and not a live site.

Go to https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6326 the files you’d want to change are listed there. Add codes with green backgrounds and delete code in file with red backgrounds. Or, if you know how to use SVN (there are many online tutorials) then you can apply the patch to check if this works for you.

[@mercime Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

@hindicell as Ben mentioned above, go to Users > Profile Fields. You have the option of presenting the choices via Radio Buttons, Select Boxes or Multi Select Box
