The closest that comes to that is
http://demo.rtcamp.com/inspirebook/ [wait for the page to display both columns]Maybe you can ask them for or do yourself the customization to give that time-line look.
Thanks
Firefox > View > Page style > No style – does show the Search box and I could search.
So it is a theme and css issue.
Other search box appears fine on that page.
Did you use mcpeanut’s code with success ?https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seach-box-for-members-does-not-appear-only-the-button?replies=3 – they have said its a BP thing. But they have not said why the BP thing is not being shown by their theme like other themes.
Please post if you solved this. BTW what is the left side bar widget named “Activity” in your site? Its nice. Thanks.
‘
Assuming its WP 4.1.1 Multisite and BP 2.1.1
Go to wp-content/plugins/buddypress
Find and use the buddypress.pot file to create (for example, by Poedit
buddypress-hu_HU.po
buddypress-hu_HU.mo
[name the files exactly as above if hu_HU is your language]1. Create /wp-content/languages/plugins
2. Place these two files there
buddypress-hu_HU.po
buddypress-hu_HU.moRefresh, F5 and see your site again.
@clivoo read WAIT above – please test. Modify your ticket accordingly if needed. Thanks
Plus activity comments and post comments should have the same behavior – if one can be read in the stream the other should also be readable in the stream apart from a link to the actual page position
works the same way for me – you only get about 4 lines of the comment in the AS. I think only for Activity Updates there is a ‘More’ link.
True – I missed that. Long comments are truncated with […] at the end and that does not link to the original comment. W.r.t usability that is a critical bug for me. Thanks
activity entry for that comment does link directly to the post comment using the page anchor
It does not – default install of WP,BP latest versions, default theme – it does not for me. Any demo link with latest WP and BP that does this? Thanks
WAIT : […] does not link to, there is no ‘more’ link that does this BUT the time stamp does this. So I think UI and Userfriendiless tea should link […] to the same link as the time-stamp. Most users are accustomed with ‘more’ or ‘…’ – they won’t know they have to click time-stamp. Please submit an enhancement request. Thanks
Comments are of ‘discussion’ AND often the comment being replied to is part of a long discussion which you might want to familiarize yourself with before replying to a comment to. Each of my pages averages 50 comments AND every 5th comment is sometimes equivalent of one or more A4 pages in length (we have proper discussions).
That is great indeed. What is your site? Typical social nets have small comments these days which is unfortunate ( courtesy FB and Twitter)
However, Buddypress stream does show full comments ( read more etc) and ‘show all comments’ etc so all comments can be read in the stream itself – I think it works that way for me. Is it different for you ? Then there are the Activity filters like ‘Show all’ ‘Show comments only’ etc which are of some help I guess.Replies to my replies or Replies to my post is something not in the Activity filter – I think, but would have been nice to have.
Thanks
If that be the case, may be the most appropriate thing will be to post your problem here : https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket
Mention the WP, BP versions you use, your theme, settings etc
Steps to reproduce your problem
Any site where this problem can be see / testedThanks.
PS : Submitting your problem in the above link may or may not generate any corrective response, in that case maybe you have too look more around the net unless some mods/devs here get you the actual help or actual code.
I have this Buddypress settings enabled
Blog & Forum Comments – Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum postsDoes any of these plugins help ?
wordpress.org/plugins/bwp-recent-comments/
wordpress.org/support/plugin/get-recent-comments
wordpress.org/plugins/get-all-comments-widget/
Thankshttps://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ says “The references to slug Constants are deprecated, this section requires updating.”
I have no idea when that will be updated. Thanks.
PS : If this was an absolute necessity for me maybe I would have tried creating a wordpress page named “fans” or whatever, and inserted the Groups page as an iframe in the content of that page. That way, the url would probably show as desired.
Sorry, for being here repeatedly. Mods delete if needed.
@statusselect
I downloaded Joomla to check out how things are as EasySocial will not run without it.
The initial experience is Joomla is as primitive compared to WP as is BP to Easysocial out-of-the-box. I installed with some default data options but settings and configs are too complex.
Maybe it works better for Joomla users but to me
– no default registration box so that users can sign up and comment (its there ..way hidden)
– no default out-of-the-box commenting ??
– what are the differences between plugins and modules?
– Last but not the least, how can I enable Joomla so that users can come to my site and have their own blogs with own themes, covers and own side-bars with own ability for comment moderation on their individual blogs?Thanks.
This is really an annoying problem. I cannot see many of my older posts. If this issue is not getting corrected with some urgent love due to lack of free time by devs , is it impossible to add a sticky to this forum to keep copies of our own post for future reference OR increase the number of posts per page so that pagination is not needed at least for the first 50 or 100 items?
There is some workaround which I faintly remember by typing some ?=2 or something but that is not the way things should go.
There has been many forum posts as well as tickets on this. No resolution. So @djsteveb resubmitting may be marked duplicate and closed promptly. Thanks.
One such ticket : https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5808#ticket
And it seems, the two shall never meet ……
BTW @statusselect, have you been able to use https://www.corephp.com/joomla-products/wordpress-for-joomla with Easysocial with Likes/Favs comment sync between the two – stream to blog, blog to stream
The two things lacking in BP after I saw Easysocial in some details is the
– Sharebox – it comes with nice at mention and hashtag ( hashtag plugin in BP is not Unicode compliant)
– Album and photo – nicely built into core – something not in BP’s agenda with their own reasoning.The Sharebox which Easysocial uses can be instantly done in BP by someone who has some coding skills and BP love using the plugins avaialble – buddypress activity plus, buddypress privacy, bp checkins, Event Manager and a Media plugin. But then ….
Easysocial theme is responsive in a fantastic way and similar BP theme like the Boss of Buddyboss costs $100+ while Easysocial, without the bbundle is $90 – so this may be another attractive point for those who need Social more than multiuser blogging. Easysocial is lesser known till now and probably they do not have a favorable stance towards WP.
And the two shall never meet ….
People shall choose whatever they want, and BP devs and debvelopment will follow the path that suits them best. One thing is true, if BP was something like Jetpack, things would have evolved faster, imhoThanks.
Hi @statusselect Thanks.
http://stackideas.com/bundles cost $240 – Is EasySocial operable without the Blog and comments ? Please keep in mind that we, users of WP + BP, need both good blogging and commenting.
Is there Blog like WP MS/MU blogs integrated there ? I could not find in the demo.
By blog integration I mean each site member can have her own blog with own theme and widgets etc, nicely customizable as in WordPress Multisite. Blog posts can also be commented and “liked” from both the stream and the blog post itself. [ BP lacks both-way Liking]
In their demo site, I found “Blog” is an App which the user has to load, and for me it did not load actually but took time and more time with the loading icon going on for ever.
If the Multiuser Blog experience is more or less similar to WP, then yes, it is worth exploring EasySocial.Other questions :
– Can Friends be stacked into various “workmate” “batchmate” etc like Elgg ?
– Can an user Block another user ?
– How does the script handle excerpts of blogs in stream, how does it handle toooo loooong names or words ? How does it handle Unicode?
– How easy is the theme to customize for a non-dev? Language can be changed easily?I did not find any pre-sales forum there or any github repo. Which would be great. They also do not have a test-downloadable version like SocialEngine.
Thanks for your answers.
PS : BP devs have their own logic, priority, speed etc. Its more than six years I guess BP lacks 2 way favoriting and a standard status/whats new box. The moment you say “standard” you may hear what is standard to one is not standard to other. That way, EasySocial has very well understood the needs of “standard”. I can only wish if they integrated EasySocial with WP Multisite it would have been an unbeatablle product. Ideas have a very few or no pickers at all. Unless we can code for ourselves or have enough money to pay Devs to bring changes the way we want, posting in forum is really not going to change the evolution of BP. IMHO. Thanks.
The Sharebox or the equivalent of Whats New box in BP is fantastic. Its not “sophisticated” but integrates in a simple user friendly way that members need. – I agree.
But what are the pros and cons featurewise ? Resource-hungriness? Security ? Back-up ? Code cleaniless and less-bulikness?
Most importantly can each and every user have their own blog with own themes and widgets like WordPress Multisite ?
Personal reason I am using WordPress- BUddypress is for the seamless WordPress Integartion [ except Favorites/Likes] – if Elgg / Oxwall / Easysocial offered this WP integration things would have been different, probably.Now, another important part Easyocial is $250, BP is free.. It follows a business model. [However anyone will love the approach at stackideas.com/support]. BP is developed out of free available time by Devs, and the Dev is not oriented so much towards Features out of box rather towards backend “geeky” things which is supposed to make it robust and less bulky for other devs who can produce feature-based plugin 🙂
Easysocial sharebox and some features are what BP ideally should push in overnight but that is really never going to happen in years. I suggest you please post a detailed review and please explain how multi-blogging (each user having own blog with own theme etc) is in Easysocial.
Thanks
It has got not to do with WP or BP
This is a problem with the host. Please write to them and/or set up a demo site and ask to test for themselves.Thanks
@minglonaire you can also try https://bp-tricks.com/design/easily-hide-specific-tabs-on-buddypress-member-and-group-pages/ AND remove Activity from Themes > Menu in your wordpress admin dashboard
edit-profile page of which user ? Thanks.
BTW, whats your installation of ? Any plugins ?
Hmm, I guess you can use shortcodes in a page specifically meant for a specific group and make the url of that page your Activity url in the menu.
For example, using Brajesh’s codes
Add a new page
Paste in that shortcode [activity-stream object=groups primary_id=2]
See this linksBuddyPress Activity Shortcode: Embed BuddyPress Activities anywhere
https://bp-tricks.com/featured/buddypress-shortcodes-plugin/Thanks
@martni You can get some ideas here:
https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/adding-a-single-group-activity-stream-to-bp-social-home-page
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-filter-custom-activity-stream-to-display-only-new-groups-new-topics-new-replies/Another way may be, making the other groups private, if that suits you / your site at all.
Thanks
