for posts made within a group or outside the buddypress context?

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

just taken from the dev meeting logs and 1.2.4 announcement (https://buddypress.org/2010/05/buddypress-1-2-4/)
“This highly anticipated version provides fixes to 74 reported tickets and adds improved support for WordPress 3.0 to help ensure a safe and worry free upgrade.”

same: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/wordpress-3-0-buddypress-1-2-4-1-and-activity-stream-as-front-page-possible-fix/

no solution at the moment

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

yep same file, below – make sure to change “Whatever_You_Named_It_Latest_Topics_Widget” to the name of the widget class

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

This is in local testing finding a code solution but thanks for the response.

(…and technically 1.2.4.1 was suppose to be WP 3.0 ready while BP1.3 dependent on features of WP3.0 )

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

I think a trac bug is already filed for this – when you reply to a private message for some reason the notification is updated again.

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

provide more details? what version did you upgrade to and from? what version of wp? did you backup before updating your plugins?

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

nevermind – adding that will cause all 404 pages to default to the activity stream

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

use the remove_action – it works – modifying the core files will only be wiped out upon your next update (unless you tediously merge each file)

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

well bp-custom.php is loaded before the adminbar – so place the remove_action in your theme’s function.php file

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-group-forum-extras/ and the Forums Index sub-plugin

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

I’m going to assume you have a stock BuddyPress setup and just enabled the BP Component ->”bbPress Forums – Activates bbPress forum support within BuddyPress groups or any other custom component.” to allow group forums – then no. You can change the BuddyPress templates via a child theme though. ( bp-default/forums and bp-default/groups/single/forum/ )

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

If you disable
BuddyPress -> Component Setup -> “bbPress Forums – Activates bbPress forum support within BuddyPress groups or any other custom component.”

You won’t be able to post any group forum topics

If you disable
BuddyPress -> General Settings -> “Disable global forum directory?:”

That will remove the tab and /forums index

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

BuddyPress just wraps bbPress – the admin panel won’t have any control over the group forums within BP.

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

oh sorry, i forgot to include the register widget hook

function my_register_widgets_init() {
add_action(‘widgets_init’, create_function(”, ‘return register_widget(“Whatever_You_Named_It_Latest_Topics_Widget”);’) );
}
add_action( ‘bp_register_widgets’, ‘my_widgets_init’, 15 );

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

regards to the drop down… the group loop (in theme forums/index.php) which only displays public groups needs another || check for:
groups_is_user_member( $bp->loggedin_user->id, bp_get_group_id() )

but if you disable bbPress buddypress component you won’t be able to post any forum topics

though, if a family site – why not lock down the entire site only to logged in users? (a few threads floating around here how to do that)

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

you have to activate the widget under wp-admin > appearance > widgets (drag it to the sidebar)

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

Things have slowed up (trac-wise) and I have noticed less activity on the boards (from Andy too) but it is hard to assume what happens within a company and allocation of resources.

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

just like before – if you are within the topic loop the template will have the scope

$topic_template->post->poster_id

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

for group admin and group mod?

built into bp-core:
function groups_is_user_admin( $user_id, $group_id )
function groups_is_user_mod( $user_id, $group_id )

BUT
those statements will ping the database each time and is not wp_cached

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

it seems you only have one group setup (which is private) so is the forum enabled for that group?

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

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

but doesn’t seem to have the same include option as the other loops (where you pass a string of comma separated ids)

you may need to code something up and just call groups_get_group for each one

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

works for me… in fact i style the first li on my sites:
<li id=”post-<?php bp_the_topic_post_id() ?>” <?php if (my_forum_is_first_post() ) echo ‘class=”first”‘; ?>>

buddypress does not use the same bbpress functions and overrides the majority of the features

*i really hate we can’t post code here – @apeatling please add the functionality (or syntax highlighter – very easy with a few filter tweaks)

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

wp-admin > appearance > widgets

[@nuprn1 Participant 16 years, 4 months ago]

i posted it here (easier to see the code)
