BuddyPress.org

BuddyPress currently has an unusual forum implementation – it’s based on bbPress and integrated with the BuddyPress Groups concept: https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/buddypress-forum/ You set it up from wp-admin… buddypress… forum setup , but have to create the forums within your BuddyPress groups. A new bbPress plugin…[Read more]

By default, WordPress sends system email using sendmail. If you receive admin emails (new user joining, password changes, etc.), your email server is working, and it should send out notification emails to members without problem. Members configure their settings: My Account … Settings … Notifications If you want to use a different email…[Read more]

p.d. en general, no me gusta tu solución – son privados por un razón! Si en realidad, quieres mas ‘vida’ por tu red, quizás hay una solución mejor. Por ejemplo: http://wpmu.org/introducing-buddystream-a-social-network-synchronization-plugin-for-buddypress/ Cómo se dice: “If you’re having difficulty getting your users to post updates on your BuddyP…[Read more]

@leguis08 algunas cosas: 1. You should not change the core BuddyPress files (e.g. bp-activity-templatetags.php). If you do this, you will make it much harder to upgrade your site. 2. If you want to show all activity items on the home page (including the hidden items), you can do this in your theme files (without changing the […]

@johnwinch42 –

Sorry, I don’t.

Marco Rossi experimented with some plugins for this on the site we created for him at http://fisherbook.com/fisherbook-magazine – but, I notice he is no longer using them, so they mustn’t have been successful

p.s.

this doesn’t remove the permalink pages themselves, and I think the @mention notifications still lead to them.

So, you should still create the template in your theme – add some doodles or animated gifs or something.

You would have to ask on the support forum for that plugin (if they have one)

@ashwanim Ok, that’s very advanced level stuff – some quick answers below – BUT, please post your xprofile questions as separate threads – and give a better indication of the problem in the title (“plugin development – please help” is way too general, and unfortunately likely lead to your question being overlooked). 1. I don’t know […]

Yes, the existing setup doesn’t work… There are groups already, but I don’t think they are noticed because the support tab just presents one merged set of threads. As you say, there is a lot of none bp, and it’s also very difficult to find tech advice that’s been given. Better docs, better forums, but […]

Ok… there are few things you need to look at to achieve this: You should create a new theme where you are going to implement your reworked profile / activity sub-nav menu. I suggest deriving this from the bp-default theme: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ In the default theme, the activity…[Read more]

@askunky There are any number of ways you can do this using CSS positioning (and developing your own bespoke website theme). This isn’t really a BuddyPress question though, it’s a general website development / CSS question. I suggest a good book on CSS would be a starting point. Incidentally: There’s no need for div wrappers just […]

You can write your own customised BuddyPress website (theme) to achieve this: Please check the codex reference I gave you – it has all the details on how to write your own custom (filtered as you want it) activity loop. Also check under docs on this site for details on how to write your own […]

cross reference is good – answered now!

@ehegwer You should add an action function to the xprofile_updated_profile() hook. It’s called when a profile is edited. In your action function, you can use bp_activity_add() to create a new activity item each time a profile is edited. You can find those functions in bp-xprofile.php and bp-activity.php, and it’s probably worth checking to see how…[Read more]

@ehegwer – post your question as a separate thread, if you want users to find and answer it

Yes, there are already filters for this in the default theme.

Also, take a look at: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/

Hi @bowromir, This has the makings of a good debate, (and nothing to do with “get non activated users”.. Someone close this thread!) I want to argue with you, refute your points, etc., etc. – but in reality, I tend to agree with a lot of them. You are right, this site is very poor when […]

@paulhastings0 – are you suggesting we should copy good code snippets from these forums across to a 3rd party site that will sell themes? That’s sounds like a lot of freely acquired content and SEO for what’s ostensibly a commercial business. I’m generally happy to submit and publish code to help people on these forums (and […]

@rossagrant – these Codex pages on the loop are your ‘bread and butter’ when theming with WordPress blogs.
