BuddyPress.org

@mycreativeway –

jqueryui has an autocomplete widget you can work with (or have a look at the older autocomplete plugin that’s used already in BuddyPress for usernames e.g. when you send a message). […]

ok, we are experiencing the same problem on one of our client sites

You need to create / edit the bp activity item for that post directly in your gravity forms filter.. As you are not saving / updating the post, so missing the default bp hook that does the activity admin for you

@thinkluke –

A couple of points:

1. You are passing the post_id into your my_set_post_thumbnail() function – so don’t know why don’t just use that, rather than doing a get_post with that id, and then trying to use the […]

@tindell – this is one of several areas where the BuddyPress core API embeds too much markup and presentation, causing a consequent problem for developers.

If you look at my solution on page 1 of this thread, you have the […]

@katemgilbert – just noticed this. We built helloecoliving.com.

For that site, BuddyPress is installed on the main blog, not a sub-blog.

It just takes a little bit of work in your theme to create a separate tab / page for […]

Bp-default .. Not no-default! Auto-correct spelling!

Which theme are you using? Does it work (with attempt one) if you switch to no-default theme?

If not, did you cut and paste the line? You may have incorrect type of quotes. Try typing line from scratch in editor

This is often a problem with the Javascript code (from the default theme) requiring a very specific div naming and layout structure. If you change (improve and simplify) the default themes’s html in your theme, then the Javascript for managing the ordering / sorting will no longer work correctly.

In early BP versions, there used to be a few handy pre-populated profile fields – including a country list (I think).

Would be nice to have them back. As @djpaul suggests, some SQL and a bit of plugin coding should do the trick…. Paul: is there a nice schematic of the xprofile tables available?

Timing! I suspect the thumbnail is getting created by your plugin after the BuddyPress activity create hook.

@tindell: adding the excerpt should be straightforward – around line 32 in my pastebin code (from page 1), after you’ve assigned the thumbnail to the activity_content – you’ll need to do something like: (for standard WP excerpt): $activity_content .= $post->post_excerpt; (for BP excerpt): $activity_content .= bp_create_excerpt…[Read more]

@leoplaw – apologies for the late heads up – BP builds / stores all the activity records when the activity happens, not when you want to display them. So, all old activity will be as per the software you had running when the activity happened. If you want to process old activity and update them, you […]

@mercime – yes, we had already had to adopt the solution of writing our own version of bp_core_add_settings_nav() – similarly to your suggestion.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t answer why bp_core_new_nav_default() doesn’t work with the settings menu.

… unfortunately, we’ve not been able to get this to work with the settings menu… will post separately

We’ve built a lot of sites on BuddyPress now… if I’d time to write about it, I’d unfortunately probably be agreeing with woothemes. There’s a lot of great functionality ‘hidden’ in BuddyPress, but the API / template tags need some serious work – especially removing all the html they unnecessarily throw in – design & […]
