Edit your text in .mo .po file. Have a look under docs on this site

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

@nunomad – you could try this approach as a workaround –

Keep your main site as a WordPress site based on Thesis template and install BuddyPress in a secondary site (see instructions under docs on here)

That should preserve your hooks in the primary site. You’ll have to do some work with your urls, nav and bp site theming though

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

@johnwinch42 –

It may, but without knowing all of your themes’ CSS setups, it’s not possible to say for sure. Order of CSS is important, later definitions will override previous ones. More specific selectors might interfere, as might indiscriminate use of !important.

Give it a try!

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Are you working with your own bespoke child theme, but using the JavaScript from the default theme?

If so, you may have removed / altered some of the markup around the first element that the JavaScript for editing requires.

Have a look at the selectors in your JavaScript and see if you can spot anything obvious

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

p.s. you might hit problems if you are using forums, as the current version of BP (1.2.x) doesn’t support a single ‘standalone’ forum. I’ve a feeling this was supported in 1.0.3

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

@nunomad

yes, they were on separate themes in 1.0.3, but the primary site and BP pages now share a single theme.

If you take a look at this plugin, you should be able to update thesis for BuddyPress:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

Once updated, activate the theme in your admin system and select it instead of the default.

I’m sure others will have updated thesis, so you might be able to get specific help if you run into difficulties.

I suggest asking them as a separate forum thread.

Good luck!

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

I do seem to remember we used to see odd count numbers with 1.0.3. on one site. Unfortunately, it’s no longer up and running, and I don’t have the code anymore.

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Are you using the default theme?

The default theme shows the profile on a separate tab when you visit the member’s page. If you want to move the view profile content onto the activity tab you can look at copying the content from members/single/profile.php into members/single/activity.php (do this in a child theme of course).

If you want something more sophisticated, take a look at the custom loop examples under Support …. Docs on this site

Adding a link – Have a look at this thread: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-moverelocate-the-links-in-the-admin-bars-my-account-individuallyseparately-to-the-sidebar/

Your other issues are CSS rather than BuddyPress related. Check the admin bar CSS settings in the different themes you are using for your blogs. If you want them to look the same, they will have to have the same settings.

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

If you are adding your own filters you can add them either in your theme’s function.php file or in bp-custom.php in your plugins folder.

This article introduces you to the concept of filters in WordPress (albeit from a plugin perspective): https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API#Filters

To find the hook in question (content_save_pre), I suggest using your file editor and searching the files in your WordPress install. Also have a Google, and you’ll find some information: e.g. http://adambrown.info/p/wp_hooks/hook/content_save_pre?version=1.5.2&file=xmlrpc.php

[Edit: Rich has already given you the line to add for the filter – try it in your functions.php]

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

details on removing from the nav bar:

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

To remove from the admin menu, add something like this to your functions.php:

if ( bp_core_is_multisite() )
remove_action( ‘bp_adminbar_menus’, ‘bp_adminbar_blogs_menu’, 6 );

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

This is exactly the same post you made 1 month ago: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/users-blogs-show-up-broken/

Your first link is just a Google Blogger blog, and locks a visitor’s browser to some extent… I don’t advise clicking on it.

Your second link is a blank page.

I don’t see any sign of BuddyPress on your sites.

Are you trying to install WordPress multisite and give people a blog? – this should be your starting point: https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

If anyone has developed a full solution for removing @mention, please let me know

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

@nunomad – slightly off track – why’ve you gone with 1.0.3? That’s an old old version. The latest BuddyPress (and the best option for support, etc.) is 1.2.5

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

hxxp is just a placeholder to stop everything being turned into links in the post. You should use http

p.s. I’m not sure you need to make the avatar path changes if this is a new install (rather than moving an existing BP install from the root blog). Perhaps @r-a-y can confirm this.

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

@johnwinch42 –

‘fix’ isn’t the right word, as it’s not really broken – in general, WordPress blog post text is left as the original author intended it to be written (with the exception of some meddling by Matt mullenweg).

If you want to modify your blog posts to convert @pseudo references into clickable links, you can probably do it by filtering the blog content when it is saved.

BuddyPress uses the function bp_activity_at_name_filter() to create those links. Take a look at it (it’s defined in bp-activity-filters.php) and see if you can adapt / use it for the filters on blog content saves.

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

Take a look at @Pollyplummer‘s recent article on front page posting http://wpmu.org/8-wordpress-plugins-that-enable-posting-and-editing-from-the-front-end/

it’s item 9 on this list for BuddyPress 1.3:

Wed 28th July Dev Chat homework

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

@modemlooper – roles would restrict you to just one level of categorisation

Category and tag taxonomies for members would allow you to implement much more complex groupings, e.g. hierarchical nested groups of members, allocation of members to multiple categories, etc.

[Edit: This argument applies to groups as well as members, and is something Burt Adsit tried to achieve in the early 1.0 BuddyPress days]

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

@thelandman – yes, that should do it

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

@thelandman, @hitler

With some template coding, you can enable writing on other people’s walls – it’s done on this site for instance… click through to any member, and you’ll see the post box at the top!

I haven’t looked in to the coding, but suspect it’s just a ‘simple’ case of hiding the @mention ‘behind’ the post form

[@rogercoathup Participant 16 years, 1 month ago]

I’m not sure roles is the correct solution to this.

What we really want is the capability to extend the existing category / tags concept to include member profiles as well as posts.

I’m sure there’s probably a lot of discussion on this topic already, under the heading ‘taxonomies’. Unfortunately, most articles using the term ‘taxonomy’ descend rapidly into unintelligible tech speak !
