BuddyPress.org

Even the bbPress plugin comes with a small set of fallback template files (as a child theme of twentyten) to display forums. I didn’t say we’d get rid of bp-default! bp-default can continue to be a parent theme. Even if we backport the simplest changes from bbPress for now like get_template_part() to BP (instead of locate_template() […]

Thanks for posting about this problem.

This is fixed in the upcoming release of BP, though not for v1.2:

Apply a filter to “bp_get_group_description_excerpt” (located in bp-groups/bp-groups-templatetags.php).

The default is 20 words.

Try something like this in your theme’s functions.php:
function my_group_excerpt() {
global $groups_template;

$group = $groups_template->group;
return bp_create_excerpt( $group->description, 40 ); // change 40 to…[Read more]

You could try using jQuery’s submit event handler:

It’s possible, you could try setting up the timezones as an xprofile field, but you’d still have to write a custom plugin to override any timestamp that has a filter like bp_activity_time_since (available in bp-activity-templatetags.php).

A little late to this thread, anyway, I’m in total agreement with MrMaz; while there’s some nice work going on in bp-default to make it blog and theme-review compatible, I don’t believe it should be the job of the core devs to maintain a blogging theme. BP should only worry about the templating aspects of […]

@ewebber – I haven’t come across this myself. The only thing I can think of at the moment is it could be a caching issue. If you have a caching plugin, try disabling it perhaps? Sorry for the late reply.

@luvs123 – BP_Core_User refers to an older version of BuddyPress.

I would try something like what shanebp outlines here:

According to YouTube, you can’t customize the oEmbed request for YouTube yet:

You could probably manually apply a filter to YouTube video content to support custom colors. However, I probably won’t be adding such a feature to this plugin.

Works for me. Make sure you’re using the Embedly code posted in the sticky.

No lightbox script will work out of the box I’m afraid.
There are filters in place you could potentially hook into to add support for a lightbox script.

@embergermedia – I believe this is the thread you’re talking about:

If it is a WordPress post or page, check out this function:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_page

If it is a BuddyPress page, then you’ll need to use bp_is_blog_page() to check to see if you’re on a BuddyPress page.

@embergermedia – Notifications get cleared depending on the component screen that is loaded. Which notification are you having trouble clearing?

If you can wait a bit, activity stream excerpts are coming in BP 1.3. You can test this functionality on testbp.org.

Hi aaberg,

Try reading this:

Pay no attention to Stacy. The person gives potentially harmful advice.

What you should try doing is re-installing BuddyPress. Re-upload a fresh copy and try again.

I’ve noticed; I’m going to ping the admins to let them know.
