Cool. Thanks so much for this tweak. Very much appreciated.

P.S. This is an example of the kind of code you add in your page editor:

Some text before the columns could go here.



[column width="30%" padding="5%"]

<strong>Latest news</strong>[showposts category="3" num="4"]

[/column]

[column width="30%" padding="5%"]

<strong>Recent Group Documents</strong>[showposts category="4" num="4"]

[/column]

[column width="30%" padding="0"]

<strong>Groups</strong>[showposts category="5" num="4"]

[/column]

[end_columns]

There is potentially a way of doing this without having to get your hands wet in code.

If the posts are in different categories, then you could grab the “WP Post Columns” plugin (http://www.samburdge.co.uk/plugins/wp-post-columns-plugin-2) and the “Show Post Shortcode” plugin (on the WordPress.org plugin repository). You can then add shortcodes for three columns within a page (through the backend editor for the page) and, within each column, use the shortcode for showing posts in each of the relevant three categories. I’ve tried this for testing purposes, in a test BP1.2 install, and have had it working perfectly. The column code widths are expressed as percentages so they expand and contract along with the flexible theme.

Thanks for the awesome plugin.

Is anyone else getting this error though?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_ajax_querystring() in /home/richbest/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-links/themes/bp-links-default/links-loop.php on line 3

Many thanks

Thanks very much for this widgetised homepage Modemlooper. Much appreciated.

I’d recommend using the Gravity Forms plugin. You can set it up to add posts to the site through a front end form. Beautiful interface. R.

Better still, purchase the Gravity Forms plugin. It makes posting from the front end an absolute breeze. Brilliant.

Hi Peter

I’ve sent you an email but thought it might help to post the message here too in case it’s relevant to others:

Hi Peter

Many thanks for the great Group Documents plugin for BuddyPress, which I’m testing with BuddyPress 1.2 RC3.

In my testing, I’ve come across the following error when uploading a document to a group:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/richbest/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/include/notifications.php on line 23

Do you know what might be causing that please?

Would be grateful for your help.

Many thanks.

Best regards

Richard

[nzde]

Ah, I see. Was wondering whether that might have been it. Thanks Andy. Guess I should wait until the next BuddyPress release then. Thanks.

[nzde]

Thanks Xevo, but yes it is active. Can’t figure this one out. Have deactivated, reactivated etc to no avail…

Hi All

Is anyone getting this kind of fatal error when activating the new default theme?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_is_member() in /home/axiomat/public_html/wp-content/themes/bp-default/header.php on line 47

Many thanks

Richard

Cool. Thanks Bowe!

Hi there – Really like the look of the new default theme. Sorry if this is stupid question, but is it possible to download the current not-yet-final version as a zip file anywhere please?
