My preferred setup is Chassis to provide local WordPress environment on vagrant; then adding BuddyPress however you prefer (from wp-admin or manually). Works great on OSX (although there are some general config changes with VirtualBox on El Capitan).

if you provide contact details on your post, will be happy to send through some details on reference sites.

this is all achievable with a custom build on top of BuddyPress and WordPress.

We’ve built similar marketplace type sites on the platform in the past. BP is a useful base for the profiles in this scenario, but also the messaging, and the activity items (which can help with audit trails and transaction history).

However, 50 hours is…[Read more]

One solution is to create your own custom page templates, and embed the code for the activity, member and group loops in the template. You’d then assign it to your duplicate pages. You can read more about coding your own loops in the documentation…[Read more]

For point 4 — members will typically show once they have logged into the site

By default, comment synching won’t work on sites where search engines are discouraged. If so, you’ll need to filter bp_blog_is_public to return true to enable comment synching.

Take your group_id, instantiate a group, and pass it to bp_group_name():


$args = array(
'group_id' => $my_id
);

$group = groups_get_group( $args );
..
bp_group_name( $group);


Then a my groups widget can have a simple core like this:


<?php if ( bp_has_groups( 'type=alphabetical&user_id=' . bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ) : ?>

<ul id="my-groups-list">
<?php while ( bp_groups() )…[Read more]

Anyway:

In your PHP template for displaying the user, you can add the following code:

echo get_user_field('s2member_access_label', $user_id);

and to get the $user_id for the displayed user, you can use:

global $bp;
$user_id =…[Read more]

BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG is a BuddyPress constant that, when defined as true, allows your BuddyPress content to be displayed on any site in […]

The intro is confusing, but if you jump to the second section, it tells you where to find files and where they need to be added to your theme, if you want to override them.

Defining the constant BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG in bp-custom.php fixed the problem.

@boone – any thoughts on this vs. enabling BP on a site by site basis (as suggested as preferable in your in file comments)? Is activity / members / groups, etc. shared when BP is activated separately for each site?

Multilingual Press uses a multisite setup, with a different sub-domain (or sub directory), for each language version of the site, e.g.: mysite.com, fr.mysite.com (for the French version), de.mysite.com (for the German version) and so…[Read more]

If you look in the implementation bp_has_activities(), you’ll see if no user id is supplied as an argument it will default to the displayed_user id on a member page.

See lines 316 and 382 of bp-activity-template.php

If you’re on a non member page it will show activity relative to the logged in user (line 382).

… quick correction, apparently 3rd behind Villa and the Hammers.

I know I can do this by creating my own class named BP_Legacy in my theme and customising, but this doesn’t seem a correct approach.

Is the BP_Legacy class supposed to behave like a pluggable function? i.e. you are expected to redeclare the class with the same name?

Is this an intended feature? It certainly shouldn’t happen by default.

What’s the recommended process for removing?

Yes, had looked at the implementation in the default BP components, and ‘gotten’ my head around it.

Good to get confirmation that this is the right approach for 3rd party as well.

Thanks, Roger

thanks, yes, BuddyDrive looks to have the ‘correct’ solution.

It creates a BP_Theme_Compat class for the component – the same approach that the internal components (Groups, Activity, etc.) do.

@boone, @r-a-y … is that the recommended approach for 3rd party components going forward?

Cheers,
Roger

Has this been taken down deliberately?

I note the problem doesn’t seem to occur on testbp.org

I assume some BP script in the backend was timing out.

We solved by:

1. exporting our users / user_meta table. Leaving just the admin user
2. upgrading BP
3. Reimporting the users

This worked fine.…[Read more]
