Nice idea,
I’d be interested in making this happen too.

Sorry for such a noobish question but I want to host a few PDF’s on my site. When I’m uploading them to my server, wheich directory do they go in? I’m getting them on the server but when I try to link to them I’m getting 404 errors so they musn’t be in the right […]

rossagrant started the forum topic How would this work? Change to position of forum posting input box in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 6 months ago

With the ability to change the order of forum posts through Paul’s BP patch, changing the order to newest posts showing on page one, I think the ultimate mod would be to then place the reply box at the top of the page. Therefore whenever you clicked on a forum you would see the latest […]

Any updates on this Frances?

rossagrant started the forum topic Applying a BP Patch in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 6 months ago

Hi guys,
Need to apply a patch that Paul has so very kindly done for BP to enable a reordering of forum posts from newest to oldest.

Detailed in this TRAC https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2354

How do I go about applying a patch.

rossagrant started the forum topic Is there actually an 'elegant' way to use an iframe? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 6 months ago

Hi guys, I want to integrate an external website into my site but I hate the way iframes work and I often find that the external site is too wide to fit into the content of my page fully and thus displays horrid scroll bars. Is it possible to display a site in a lightbox […]

rossagrant posted on the forum topic Would this plugin be possible? Adding another tab to a BP group to allow us to display ANYTHING in i in the group Creating & Extending: 15 years, 6 months ago

Cheers Paul, I have only just started up using WP and BP and although I’m learning how to use the software, the programming side of stuff is a little out of my depth for now so I didn’t know if people around this site would actually do work for you if requested. Is there a […]

rossagrant posted on the forum topic Would this plugin be possible? Adding another tab to a BP group to allow us to display ANYTHING in i in the group Creating & Extending: 15 years, 6 months ago

Cheers Boone, I need to read up on this and experiment. Basically one of the tabs I am needing to create needs to have a separate piece of html code in it which will be DIFFERENT for each group. How can I achieve this? Effectively it’s a different widget for each group and I have […]

rossagrant posted on the forum topic Would this plugin be possible? Adding another tab to a BP group to allow us to display ANYTHING in i in the group Creating & Extending: 15 years, 6 months ago

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. I’m totally new to BP and WP and have no idea where to start coding a plugin myself but at least I know it’s possible. Where can I read up on this and how long would it take to create? I might need 2 extra tabs on the groups […]

rossagrant started the forum topic Would this plugin be possible? Adding another tab to a BP group to allow us to display ANYTHING in i in the group Creating & Extending: 15 years, 6 months ago

Hi there, Just wondering if a plugin would be at all possible to add to another tab to a group (like group documents does) but to allow us to place anything in it like text HTML etc? It would effectively be a blank page on a group that you can add anything to as an […]

rossagrant posted on the forum topic I just want ONE consistent username to appear EVERYWHERE in WP/ BP in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 6 months ago

Sound Great Ray, I noticed it in private messaging, on the sidebar that tells you you are logged in and when posting a comment. If we could leave the name on the registration form that is fine but I just want the username displayed on all front end stuff that the user can contribute to. […]

rossagrant posted on the forum topic I just want ONE consistent username to appear EVERYWHERE in WP/ BP in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 6 months ago

Great idea,
Yeah it would be good to somehow hide the first and last name fields and have them filled with copies of the username somehow.
Let me know how you get on!

rossagrant posted on the forum topic Order of posts in Group forums in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 6 months ago

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2354

So the patch there enables the order of forum posts to be reversed with the latest on page one.

How do I apply a patch or can anyone turn this into a plugin?

rossagrant posted on the forum topic I just want ONE consistent username to appear EVERYWHERE in WP/ BP in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 6 months ago

Nice one Andrea. As I mentioned, it still shows the users full name in private messages and on their actual login sidebar. Any way we can alter the code to show username here also?

rossagrant posted on the forum topic I just want ONE consistent username to appear EVERYWHERE in WP/ BP in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 6 months ago

Right the only places I still see the BP Name (required) field showing, rather than the username is in private messages sent to users and in my OWN sidebar where I have logged in.

Is this something on the roadmap to centralise with WP as it does cause lots of confusion?

rossagrant posted on the forum topic I just want ONE consistent username to appear EVERYWHERE in WP/ BP in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 6 months ago

Hi Ray!
That’s amazing mate,
Will this display the uername sitewide? Forums, Groups, activity, messages etc? And is this something that will be integrated into BP as standard in the future?

With regards to the parent activity, you said there might be a better way for this? In what way do you mean?

rossagrant posted on the forum topic I just want ONE consistent username to appear EVERYWHERE in WP/ BP in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 6 months ago

When someone uses the @username are you supposed to get a notification because you don’t. It says you do when you click on the ? next to the @username on someones profile but you only get it appearing under the @mentions. It would be good to get a notification wouldn’t it? With regards to names, their should […]

Hi guys, I’ve been setting up a site over the last few months and before I launch I want a completely clean site. If I want to get rid of all activity before launch am I safe to delete the entire data in the BP activity table or are there some things in there that […]
