Hmm… Erich73 and DJPaul, private group invite worked for me on my sandbox BP install.

I’m on WPMU 2.8.1 and BP 1.0.3.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Ooh… good question, cozzie.

I don’t think there’s a parameter that combines both the “personal” and “friends” type.

For the avatar, I’m guessing you would need to either hack the “/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-templatetags.php” file or write a filter to override one of the existing ones in bp-activity, which would include the avatar.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Okay, I found an easier way for this.

Instead of creating a new stylesheet, you can use your existing admin bar CSS, but define some new rules for just the WPMU admin area.

Use this as your CSS selector:

body.wp-admin #wp-admin-bar {ENTER YOUR STYLES HERE}

Remember to define the body.wp-admin selector for each BuddyBar element you want to style.

eg.

body.wp-admin #wp-admin-bar {

background:yellow !important;}



body.wp-admin #wp-admin-bar li * {

font:12px normal georgia,times,serif !important;

}

This will change the BuddyBar background colour to yellow and the font to a serif for the WPMU admin area.

Hope that helps!

Ahh okay, that’s great!

Thanks for verifying Jeff.

I’ve recently started doing this for the purpose of renaming a few of the predefined labels as well.

I use PoEdit and followed the instructions listed here:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

The “Labels and Messages” section is what you want to read up on.

Follow them explicitly and you should be good to go.

You’ll probably want to find a PoEdit tutorial on Google as well.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Good question.

Has anyone over on the bbPress forums experienced a similar thing when upgrading from 0.9 -> 1.0+, while integrating WP(MU)?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

I haven’t upgraded my sandbox install of WPMU to 2.8.2 yet.

So I couldn’t tell you if it was a WPMU-specific issue.

Hopefully someone who’s on MU 2.8.2 can answer your question.

However, I am on MU 2.8.1 with BP 1.0.3 and the site-activity widget is working as expected.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

By “post”, what do you mean exactly?

A BuddyPress forum post, or just a regular blog post?

If it’s a blog post, I’m quite certain a WordPress plugin can handle that.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

You’d have to define a separate stylesheet for the admin BuddyBar, and hook it into the admin_head.

You can start work on that separate stylesheet, after you’ve done that I can help you hook it in the admin area.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Haha! No problem!

I know how that feels.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

I notice you’re using WPMU 2.8.2. Was the widget working in WPMU 2.8.1?

If you recently upgraded from WPMU 2.7.1, try deactivating your BP widgets and reactivating them again. The widget API has changed since 2.7.1.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

The second one.

Not sure if this will break any custom functionality that the Church theme uses (custom widgets and the like).

But it will make the BuddyBar show up correctly.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

unsalkorkmaz, that’s a totally different topic.

Please look at this thread:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/bp-avatars-and-nothing-else-in-bbpress-possible#post-17431

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Check the Church theme’s footer.php.

Look for a call to wp_footer() amd make sure it is exactly before the </body>.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Rohan, think before you type.

A private community would want their pages and content private.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Clicking on that RSS link doesn’t show anything for me because I’m not a member of your WP site.

It prompts me for a username and password.

You’re logged in, which is why you can view your own feed.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Spam signups != comment spam.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Looks like your RSS feed is password-protected.

That’s why your RSS feed isn’t being parsed by the RSS widget.

What do you mean by “get the RSS feed from a ‘regular’ WP blog”?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

I would also recommend checking out the WPMU forums (if you haven’t already, Roy!), as this seems more appropriate there.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

A member blog is simply a WPMU blog.

What exactly are you having problems with?

eg. A member blog’s RSS feed should be – http://example.com/amemberblog/feed/ or http://amemberblog.example.com/feed/ (if you’re using subdomains).

What happens when you go directly to that link?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

korhanekinci,

Change this line:

$default_grav = bb_get_active_theme_uri() . 'images/mystery-man.gif';

to:

$default_grav = 'wavatar';

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Confirmed, Anointed.

Just tried to post to the group wire. Got the redirect.

—

korhanekinci, this has nothing to do with that thread.

The display name is separate from the username.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Hey unsalkorkmaz,

Submit a ticket (login with the same username and password as on buddypress.org) noting the problem and one of the BP devs will look to see if your problem can be duplicated.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

The “Favorite Topics” functionality was broken when the BuddyPress forums changed the permalink structure from ID to pretty permalinks (I’m speculating, but I think I’m right).

The groups hyperlink is a known bug as well.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Instead of looking at banning users, I would be more concerned with preventing spam signups.

That way you won’t have to think about banning people (at least not often!)
