In reply to: users complaining
I also hate buddypress.org since they started to “eat their own dog food”. Ironic. I find is very difficult to find past postings.
bp.org needs a tab with forum topics started similar to the “My Topics” tab on the forums tab available on a stock BP install.
The whole “eat your own dog food” logic doesn’t really apply well on a site like bp.org because bp.org is not supposed to be like a social site. It’s more of a developer community that isn’t activity stream centric. Even Facebook uses an older version of PunBB for their developer community, FB doesn’t eat their own dog food.

And the whole “comment on a forum post in the stream *OR* in the original thread” is absolutely insane. When a user makes a comment… don’t make them THINK about where to make it. They should just make the comment and it should show up in *BOTH* places.
I brought up this issue a long time ago when BP 1.2 was being built. Easier said than done I’m afraid. That’s why there’s a “disable activity commenting for blog posts and forum threads” in the BP admin area. If it was easy, I’m sure it would have been implemented.

It also drives me crazy how you can message anyone by typing their username in “Compose > Sent To” but only your friends show up in auto-complete. Makes no sense
Actualy, it does make sense. You’d most likely message your friends for the most part. This also helps prevent PM spam. If you really wanted to message someone, you could go to their profile page and message them. Or if you intend to message them more than once, become their friend.
Your request could be extended via a plugin (which doesn’t exist yet!).
@rossagrant – This is fixed in the upcoming release of BP 1.2.5:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2409In reply to: template tags1) Copy /bp-default/activity/index.php to your child theme and modify to your liking.
2) Copy /bp-default/members/single/activity.php to your child theme and modify to your liking.
3) bp_activity_date_recorded() might be what you’re looking for (available in /bp-activity/bp-activity-templatetags.php).
View and delete are not separated. Check out bp_insert_activity_meta(). You could apply a filter to it.
In reply to: link for new post, edit posts, etc…Check out the bp_adminbar_blogs_menu() function in /bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php for hints.
Depending on your needs, you could also use the blogs loop:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-blogs-loop/Okay, I’ve added this as a bug report on Trac:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2450Though, it’s working for me on a sub-blog BuddyPress is activated on.
In reply to: A question for theme designersI’m sure there are going to be theme designers that want the functionality you’re building.
One thing to note is have you checked your plugin with the BP Groupblog plugin?
Also what do you mean by “public profile version” of your plugin?Check out the internal configuration settings page on the codex:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings/What you’re looking for specifically is this:
define ( 'BP_MEMBERS_SLUG', 'users' );Change “users” to whatever you want.
Add this code to wp-config.php.
In reply to: How do I use buddypress?Just to add to this, if you’re using a custom WP theme and you want to add BuddyPress functionality, then you’ll need to use the BP Template Pack plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/If you’re used to customizing themes, then you’ll feel right at home with BP templates and custom loops. Check out the codex for more info.
What hnla is talking about is if you’re using WP 3.0 and you want to add user blogs, you’ll need to add network functionality. Read this post by Pete Mall for more info:
http://developersmind.com/2010/05/17/enable-multi-site-in-wordpress-3-0/In reply to: How do I display a Blog like wordpressMUYou need to use a WPMU plugin like New Blog Defaults:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-new-blog-defaults/Put the PHP file (not the folder) in /wp-content/mu-plugins/
Haven’t tested compatibility with WP 3.0, but it should work.
In reply to: ETA on Buddypress 1.3 – when will it be released?There are still a lot of tickets on Trac for BP 1.3; I’m guessing a month or longer:
http://is.gd/cUn3vHowever, there will be an intermediary point release on the 1.2 branch – v1.2.5 – hopefully that will be released in the next week or so.
@hnla – While your method is well-intentioned, it breaks actual 404 pages. Try typing in example.com/hfklsadjfkasdhf and you’ll see the activity page, instead of the 404 page!
You could just copy my code directly into the bp-default theme’s functions.php so it will be overwritten when the next version of BP comes out.
FYI, the code can also go in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php as well and not necessarily in a child theme’s functions.php file.
You could try GlotPress:
http://trac.glotpress.comhttp://blog.glotpress.com – GlotPress blog
It’s not a plugin, but it allows you to translate scripts using a front-end interface.
There’s not much documentation or anything like that since it’s still quite an early script, but if you feel the need to edit language files using a front-end script, GlotPress is an option.

[EDIT]
Just found the following WordPress plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-translator/It’s a little old, but you could give that a shot as well.
In reply to: WPMU 2.9.2 to WPMU 3.0 –> Avatars brokenRead and implement everything listed in Pete Mall’s post:
http://is.gd/cT9kBand FYI, it’s WordPress 3.0 now
In reply to: How to disable the Admin-Bar in the Dashboard?Add this to your theme’s functions.php:
remove_action( 'admin_footer', 'bp_core_admin_bar' );In reply to: Changing colors of menu tabs and admin barEdit your theme’s style.css.
And add the following:
#wp-admin-bar .padder, #wp-admin-bar ul li ul {background:red !important;}This is just to get you started.
Again, I advise you to create a child theme to apply your new style changes. Read this guide to build a child theme from the default BP theme:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/In reply to: Can’t reply to activities in StreamCould be a javascript conflict with another plugin.
In reply to: bbpress activity not coming though@AMJCraft – That’s to be expected. If it’s not a BP group forum post, the post will not be added to the activity stream, although if you’re using a deep integrated install of bbPress, it’s possible to add these non-BP posts to the stream.
Check out the friends_check_friendship() function in /bp-friends.php.
The parameters are:
friends_check_friendship( $user_id, $possible_friend_id )And it returns true if the person is a friend.
Example:
global $bp;$is_friend = friends_check_friendship( $bp->loggedin_user->id, $bp->displayed_user->id );
if ( $is_friend ) {
run your custom code;
}
@andrea_r – Or you can simply read Pete’s post

[EDIT]
Updated patch commited by JJJ:
https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/3066In reply to: WordPress 3.0 – Page not FoundNot unless you want to backtrack to WP(MU) 2.9.2… make sure you can revert to your DB backup and filesystem.
I say just wait for a fix unless you’re on a production site.
In reply to: WordPress 3.0 – Page not FoundKeep tabs on this ticket:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2403In reply to: Update Buddypress then Fatal errorI’d recommend not using Twire.
Try Tweetstream instead:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tweetstream/@walid3 – Could be an incompatibility with WP 3.0. I haven’t checked this to confirm though.
Can anyone else who’s using WP 3.0 with root profiles verify?
[EDIT]
Just upgraded to WP 3.0 and root profiles are working for me.You could try re-saving your permalink structure to see if that will have any effect.
