If you’re logged in, you can create a group from the Group directory page:
example.com/groups

There should be a button that says “Create a Group”.

If you don’t see this button, there is a problem with your theme. nit3watch eludes to the following file – /groups/index.php – in your theme’s folder.

There appears to be a bug with the bp_get_activity_avatar() function. On closer inspection, these are loafers… wait sorry… it looks like the function is trying to pass the group ID and the component as group, but it adds a redundant check for a user ID, which breaks this functionality.

Going to create a patch right now.

Have you tried adding this to your theme’s functions.php?
remove_action( 'bp_register_widgets', 'bp_core_register_widgets' );

Not a plugin. Just some custom javascript. Brush up on your jQuery!

Check out the links loop in /buddypress-links/themes/bp-links-default.php.
For parameters in the links loop, check out the bp_has_links() function in /buddypress-links/bp-links-templatetags.php.

The links loop works similar to any BP loop:

Can you be specific?

Are you talking about the blog author on the left hand side of the blog entry?

If so, copy over /bp-themes/bp-default/single.php to your child theme and remove the “author-box” div.

Then in your CSS to remove the left margin, do this:

div.post div.post-content {margin-left:0 !important;}

Try the WPMU New Blog Defaults plugin:

Request to change your password again.
Check your junk folder for the email confirmation.

Or:
If you’re the admin, simply login to the WP dashboard, navigate to “Users” and either remove the user or click on “Edit” to change the email address associated with the account.

You shouldn’t need to download JCrop, as it should already be called when you’re on the crop avatar page.
I’m guessing that you’re using another JS script that is interfering with it.

It’s possible, you’d have to check the current blog and the activity type before the activity is saved to the DB.

Apply a filter to “bp_activity_type_before_save” (located in bp-activity/bp-activity-classes.php), check to see if the activity is a blog post or a blog comment.
Then, check the global $current_blog variable to see if it matches the root blog only.

That should give you a few pointers to run with.

Saw your Trac ticket:

This is a weird bug. It shouldn’t show the RSS link on an AJAX request. If you have any other plugins or custom code running, please disable them and only have BuddyPress and the BP default theme running

You can’t have two FB AutoConnect buttons on the same page. Remove one of them.

PMs for Friends Only works; I just haven’t bumped the compatibility tag.

Also do check the oEmbed for BP v0.6 beta.

I’d say that most of the BP plugins should work. Only plugins that interact with WordPress in some manner should be flagged for testing.

In your child theme’s stylesheet, add this:
a {color:red !important;}

If you made a copy of the bp-default stylesheets in your child theme, that rule would be located in /_inc/css/default.css.

Use BP_MEMBERS_SLUG as it’s a constant.

eg.
echo 'This is my cool ' . BP_MEMBERS_SLUG . ' slug for members';

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 3 months ago]

@odiggy – You could also use:
bp_loggedin_user_avatar( 'html=false' );
(available in /bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php)

Because that will automatically call the logged in user’s avatar without using the generic bp_core_fetch_avatar() and needing additional parameters.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 3 months ago]

@nickmy – That’s actually your code, I just corrected it

You should do a conditional for only the group you want to modify.

if ( bp_get_group_slug() == 'YOURSLUG' )
locate_template( array( 'groups/single/'. bp_get_group_slug() . '.php' ), true )

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 3 months ago]

Use bp_core_fetch_avatar() and pass the “html” argument as false.

Check out bp_core_fetch_avatar() @ /bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 3 months ago]

@nickmy – You have the right idea.

However change bp_group_slug() to bp_get_group_slug().

locate_template( array( 'groups/single/'. bp_get_group_slug() . '.php' ), true )

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 3 months ago]

@shimmermoss – Make the changes as outlined in the patch. There are three files you have to modify. You’ll most likely have to access these files via FTP to edit them.

There’s a tutorial for this on BuddyDev.com:

I believe Daniel wants to add a tab on the group directory page.

That would require manipulating the “bp_ajax_querystring” filter located in /bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 3 months ago]

If you remove that function and filter, you cannot set the activity stream as frontpage.

if that is not an issue for you, then go ahead and remove the filter:
remove_filter( 'page_template', 'bp_dtheme_page_on_front_template' );

The problem probably has something to do with the empty $wp_query->post->ID.

The DAP team should either remove the filter and create a compatibility filter or change how it looks for the empty post ID.
