BuddyPress.org

Did this work on your test / development site? Have you run through all of the questions / checks Paul has given you to the letter – when it comes to BuddyPress, he knows what he’s talking about.

Ok, my […]

Yes, but you could modify those pages to use an alternative avatar function

This comment sounds like a general WordPress / User Role Editor plugin issue, and not anything to do with BuddyPress – Have you asked on their forums?

BuddyPress provides a filter to let you do this.

If you look through the code for recording a post (hooked on save_post) in the bp-blogs component, you should be able to figure out how to use it.

Have you switched to bp-default theme as well, and tested.

By default BuddyPress doesn’t send ‘crazy amounts of emails’, and doesn’t typically email to every user — what emails are you receiving? What notifications do you have turned on? Is it site wide […]

It can be achieved, but will involve a number of changes. If you are not a competent PHP / BuddyPress developer, then you would be best to hire one for this job

If you have a look at the bp_message_thread_avatar() function in the BuddyPress codebase, you can see which arguments it accepts, and also which functions it calls onto to get an avatar.

That should help you […]

No, no PHP required.

Just do it with CSS and nested selectors.

Something like:

.directory li.nav-item, .my-account li.nav-item {
background-color: blue;
}

Have a look at some of the classes applied to body — there’s no single class being used for BuddyPress pages, but the set is quite small, and you should be able to base your selectors on them to capture whether […]

It may be possible to implement this — would have to investigate further — please feel to get drop me a line at info@21inspired.com

Glad the solution worked. Thanks for the feedback

Posts are added to the activity stream when the post is saved.

It’s done in the bp_blogs_record_post() function, which is hooked on to the save_post action.

There isn’t any easy way to filter […]

Doug — the notification will be because I explicitly @mention ‘d you in the reply.

Yes, the behaviour of these forums is not a good advert for BuddyPress — although some of that is down to the coding of this […]

BuddyPress follows the same language and internationalisation patterns as WordPress — so, multiple language versions of each text string can be added through .pot files.

Switching on a per user basis is more […]

@douglerner —

There are some off the shelf plugins for import from CSV file, but I’ve heard varying reports on whether they work successfully.

In the cases were we’ve needed it, we built our own custom […]

It’s possible – but not via the extended profile fields.

The best solution probably involves developing a custom BP profile component to handle the images, and then some front end manipulation to make it […]

Actions are a standard part of WordPress programming – if you check the WordPress.org documentation, or any good book on advanced WordPress PHP development, you should be able to find good guidance.

You have a number of ways to build links to member profile:

Outside the loop, you can pass the member’s user id to bp_core_get_user_domain()

Inside a members loop, you can use functions such as […]

@pawriter – if you go to wordpress.com — the reader shows you latest featured blog posts from the blogs on the site. Which is what the described solution tells you how to achieve using BuddyPress in a multisite install
