@hal9000 to get alternating colors on any of your loops (activity, members, groups, blog listings, forums, whatever)… using this code (uses CSS3)
li { background: green; }
li:nth-child(odd) { background: red; }more specifically:
in the default.css stylesheet of the buddypress default theme… you should find on line 396:
ul.item-list li {
position: relative;
padding: 15px 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #eaeaea;
}replace that with this:
ul.item-list li {
position: relative;
padding: 15px 0;
border-bottom: none;
background: green;
}ul.item-list li:nth-child(odd) {
background: red;
}and wolla!! ofcourse… please change the red and green to the colors of your theme… also, if you need it specifically for members, or groups, etc… then in the source code of each page , for eg, in groups, it is under a particular id: groups-list… put the styles under that id and so on.. hope that makes sense to you.
dont look like both those methods worked out for me…still on the hunt, will update when i find something

They say this will help, but read the reviews.. i think there are some people having problems out there. But i have wp 3.1.3 and bp 1.2.8… and i cannot see the backend admin link for this! good luck though.. and let me know if this works out for you…
is no one using the BP Chat module from Buddydev.com… its free… and kinda decent… http://buddydev.com/buddypress/bp-chat-a-facebook-like-chatting-plugin-for-buddypress/
am sure it’ll be improved as time goes on by, but right now there are a few holes in it still… was wondering if there is a better alternative out there…
there is a way out… and its called Global forums by buddydev.com… but its got its share of issues… still under development, and active development, a lot of things are being resolved… so hold on for a couple months more, think something is gona clear out soon enough!
i have the same one too!! what a shame… i had a cool pic of mine to post.. but guess no one wants to see my face
@pisanojm you raise some very valid points about spamming over here… but tell me, why is it that you chose to avoid the “confirmation email link” option… its a sureshot way of overcoming most of the automated spam-bots out there… yes, you can still have manual registrations who want to mess with your site… but this is something we just have to deal with.
Max we as admin can do is to spot the bad guys (community flagging), and delete there stuff as well as bar them from registering again… atleast thats my opinion.

am sure its a clash between your theme files and the menu in BP? Am assuming you are aware that in order to get BP up and running, you need to have a BP theme… its different from any other wordpress theme… this might help you out: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
@christophg not having albums within a user’s photos was one of the biggest reasons i opted to go with buddydev.com’s premium plugin BP Gallery. It’s about 30$ to take the 3 month member, and a lot has been written both for and against this plugin, and the concept of paying money for plugins… but let me tell you this… BP Gallery is simply superb. Period. Its an amazing plugin, and even if BP Album + releases 1.9.. i doubt if they can get it like this… but there are a couple of issues with BP Gallery: rating and flagging of comments and pictures is still not yet implemented.. its work under progress… final word… go for BP Gallery… its wayyyy too cool to miss out on.
Cant think of a ready to use plugin out there for this cause, but how about this: what if you can get one psot created for every single member. And disguise it as something different from a normal post… a nice background, this and that… and on it put a rating plugin… so whenever users come in to rate a certain member, they’re actually just rating a post he’s created… but it morphs as the rating of the member…. sounds silly, but i think it’ll work.
I use buddydev.com’s BP Gallery… it satisfies what i need to be done for my site… but you do bring up a good point, and i too would actually be interested in that… i cam across the following plugins.. they are for videos, but may be they could work for photos as well… you could give it a shot:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/carousel-free-video-gallery/ (has a carousel effect built into it)
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/ultimate-free-video-gallery/it depends on the theme you’re using… could you please give some more details…
can you please elaborate a little more on what you mean? Are you saying you want to have a “WYSIWYG box when you add a post?”…
@Histrion its really easy dissing on what others do… please remember this is an open-source platform and buddydev.com is not obligated to give you a flawless piece of code… now, lets be realistic in our assesment of bp-chat from buddydev…
amongst all the available free chat modules out there, this one is the best… it has its flaws… not denying it, but its still under improvement. Give it another 6 months or so, and it’ll be really good.
until then, try having a looking at bowob.com… seems like it’ll work too.
in addition to what @paul gibbs has to say…
this is the answer you need guys: it helped me out too…
Here is solution:
1) delete buddypress.
2) It might be useful to check if the tables for bbpress were deleted. Check also there is no bb-config.php in the web root folder.
3) reinstall buddypress
4) change ‘TYPE = MYISAM’ to ‘ENGINE = MYISAM’ in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-admin/includes/defaults.bb-schema.php before creating groups and using forums.
5) create groups and test forums.And I find it here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/bbpress-posting-errors-missing-database-tables/?topic_page=2&num=15

a member @fladnag pointed this out in a different thread…
@fladnag thank you soooo much for that reply… believe me, i found atleast 10-15 forums talking about this issue… but no one put it asa neatly and precisely as you did… thanks!
when you say “comments are being held for moderation”… do you men, that when a user posts a comment, he gets the message, “Your comment is awaiting moderation.”…. if this is what you are referring to…. then the answer is as follows. If this is not the issue, then please clarify and i’ll try and help you out…
Right… in the blog settings (Blog > Settings > Discussion), under the heading “Before a comment appears”… there are two checkboxes… one that says “An administrator must always approve the comment “, and another that says “Comment author must have a previously approved comment”… make sure both of these are NOT checked… the second one comes checked by default… this was the answer to my problem anyway.I had the same problem too, and thats when i realised that in the blog settings (Blog > Settings > Privacy)… you’ve got to select the option that says “I would like my site to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Bing, Technorati) and archivers”… and then, the blog and its comments will appear in the activity stream of the members posting comments or posting blog articles.. hope this helps.
