Here’s a little loop we used to get a thumbnail strip of latest photos for v1.0.8, based on the activity stream: bp_album_picture, 'max' => 5 ); ?> < ?php echo implode(explode(&quot;</a>", bp_get_activity_content_body(), -1)); ?> The implode(explode()) removes all the superfluous image description, and just leaves you with the thumbnail. This…[Read more]

The basic function for checking whether they are logged in is:

is_user_logged_in()

You could combine this with logic for php page redirect: e.g. http://www.totallyphp.co.uk/code/page_redirect.htm

Implement a static page / template with this code, and set it as the front page (via wp-admin… settings… reading… front page displays)

@foxly … yes, we’ve built quite a few ‘large’ sites. I was referring specifically to the templates for v1.0.8 of bp-media+. I’d previously used one of your 1.0.9 builds and that had lots and lots of its own templates. v1.0.8 just has three templates of its own, and works (as you and I pointed out) with […]

to answer my own question: members/single/plugins.php

@johnwinch42 I’m not really sure what you are asking: Do you want to allow all blogs to have their own choice of theme, but ensure that they use the same font for the admin bar? That’s not really possible, because you don’t have any control over the CSS files in the sub site themes – if […]

@sulley – on the flip side – with one company developing it, you have a single point of weakness. if they go under, the whole project disappears – not just one plugin. However, I tend to agree with you: BuddyPress would definitely be a more attractive development platform if a solid company took more responsibility for […]

@rossagrant – It’s not possible with the current profile implementation to have structured fields made up of several component parts (they’d be useful though!). As a workaround – you could group them together in their own profile group – and then it would require some rework of the edit / view profile templates to present the […]

To show blog activity you’d typically customise your home page template to include a customised activity loop that just shows blog posts. Check under Docs… Custom buddypress loops on ths site for details on how to do that. There might also be off the shelf widgets that will work for you, but you will need […]

DUPLICATE
This is the same question you posted a few hours ago: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-show-status-updates-in-the-frontpage/

For the solution, please see this thread: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/customizing-buddypress-profile-page-default-tab-and-item-nav-order/?topic_page=1&num=15

@mercime – that may give a solution for @jwack.. Although the original post was asking featured blogs, not for specific featured posts

1 solution: Add profile fields for them to enter their blog details, create your directory template with a custom members loop that checks for the blog fields and displays them. This may be inefficient for a sparse databse with lots of members

@hnla ja ja stimmt! I thought long and hard about that, but decided proper names and all shouldn’t be translated… Honest guv! 🙂

If you want the activity stream as your front page – go to wp-admin … settings … reading … front page displays If you just want a small area to show updates, try a widgetised theme, and add the sitewide activity widget If you want something more bespoke, i.e. just status updates… you will have […]

update: for an individual activity BP uses the function call $fav_count = bp_activity_get_meta( $activity_id, ‘favorite_count’ );

If you look at bp_activity_get_meta you should be able to determine the table used, and the SQL query to build.
