Plugin forums have been removed. This is no longer a place for support for third party plugins. legacy forums can be found on the front support page.

This issue with using plugins to create such a specific site as you wish is that you are placing bets on if a plugin will continue to work or be supported. This is why I suggest you may need coding skills.

If its my plugin, read instructions. You need to edit template files

Use WordPress a page template and hard code a BuddyPress group loop in the page template. Create a WordPress page in the admin. You do the same thing when you created those pages when you install BuddyPress. BuddyPress just overrides the page that gets loaded with it’s own template which is why you don’t have to create the page template yourself.

This type of thing would have to be theme specific so i dont think you would see a plugin for this.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

Anything can be acomplished given the skills. This would require custom code.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

Look through the BuddyPress code. The core components extend a class BP_Component. You extend this class to create your own components. In folder bp-groups you can see how the groups component is being created and use it as an example.

You can choose the my friends option to at least block all fields to a users friends. You can also look over @boone code to add your own visibility options. https://github.com/boonebgorges/bbg-custom-bp-field-visibility

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

Its not really a membership plugin. It turns your site into a social network where users can sign up get profiles, groups and discussion forums. There are many plugins that add additonal features.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

Go into the wp-admin Users > Profile fields and change the visibility options to profiles fields

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

look at the record activity function http://pastebin.com/kNqTrRzc

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

`function my_friends_only_activity( $query ) {

$friends_id = bp_get_friend_ids( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ;

$query = ‘&user_id=’ . $friends_id ;

return $query;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring’, ‘my_friends_only_activity’ );`

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

You get user id’s with code not manually.

`bp_get_friend_ids( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ; `

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

Not too difficult. You can filter activity stream by passing a comma seperated list of user id’s. just get logged in users friends id’s. read the codex on how to filter loops

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

There is no activity privacy feature in 1.7. Google friends only activity stream. I think a plugin already exists. You can look through plugin as an example of code

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

Fluid layouts will squish on small screens. BP-default has some responsive design. If you are not using bp-default then you will need to contact the theme developer about issues with sidebars. If you are concerned about mobile you should use sliders that are responsive.

`I expect that I should be allowed this privilege solely on the basis that I am willing to do so`

I’m using this in every job interview from this point on. *snort

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

explain more about your set up. multisite? using custom themes? plugins? Sounds like you are using template pack on various sub sites, yes?

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

Going over that team link which I had totally forgot about. Some good info. I am moving this thread over there. I have a suggestion to get it rolling. https://codex.buddypress.org/team/

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

I wasn’t trying to sound dismissive. There are many users of BuddyPress that can easily contribute on the user side of documentation. My statement was in regards that my time is better spent on development of features/plugins. When I have free time I write in the codex.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

If you are using the BuddyPress template pack then deactivate it.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

You use the groups extension API https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

what @hnla said plus I want to add we should use the WordPress codex as a template on how to structure the content. People are familiar with WordPress and it makes sense to display the content as such.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

in the custom theme folder it is most likely missing the create.php file in the blogs folder

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 11 months ago]

@mercime We had a team but it fell apart after a few weeks. I think it’s because there was no leadership. It was a do anything to help approach and that seems daunting. WordPress has loads more people on development/documentation and that is the reason this codex is behind. Just not enough people/time to get it done. We should bring this up during the dev chat.
