@hypnoscribe @milenushka To be honest I deactivated and uninstalled Buddypress a few weeks ago. There was no response to this query and given it’s a key part of the BP experience I found that quite disappointing. Although at the same time, I do acknowledge the plugin is maintained by volunteers. I’m now using a different plugin for a community feature which expands on the default WordPress user accounts, and links nicely with the big social networks for good exposure. Sorry I can’t help in resolving this.

[@style960 Participant 12 years ago]

By default Buddypress doesn’t have it’s own Login or Forgot Password pages. The behaviour of your site is correct. You could create your own page templates for separate pages, or use a plugin something like this:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/clean-login/ or
https://wordpress.org/plugins/zm-ajax-login-register/

To redirect users on login/logout:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/peters-login-redirect/

[@style960 Participant 12 years ago]

@king-generous Are you using any of the following:

A theme with a custom login page?
A plugin to create a custom login page?
A plugin to change the URL of the WordPress login page?

Buddypress uses the standard WordPress login page at http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php

@icaroferraira For toolbar modifications I would recommend WP Symposium Toolbar – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-symposium-toolbar/

You can decide which WordPress roles should see which toolbar items, and create custom menus of your own should you want to.

I can pass that information on, but I’m no developer myself 🙂

[@style960 Participant 12 years ago]

2.1 and 4.0 are fine, just tested. I’ll pass that on when I get a response.

[@style960 Participant 12 years ago]

@henrywright

The plugin is meant to trigger the notifications bubble in the toolbar – since 2.1.1 this just doesn’t happen. I’m not sure how to diagnose it to be honest. I’ve switched themes, and tested on a vanilla install with just that and BP installed, no joy. I will go backwards with BP versions tonight, pretty sure 2.1 was good.

[@style960 Participant 12 years ago]

@henrywright

I think the usefulness or desirability of email notifications depends more on the environment than the community. If you took the view that there’s a good chance the majority of users will use a tablet or mobile device, the friendliness of email notifications decreases greatly, while the opposite would be true of live notifications.

The problem I have is the Live Notifications plugin doesn’t work with BP 2.1.1, and the problem isn’t theme related. If the plugin was regularly updated to become compatible, I’d be happy with that 🙂

[@style960 Participant 12 years ago]

Hi @henrywright

Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll put a request in on Trac shortly. At present, I’m probably going to be forced into using my second choice as a theme just to have these feature. From a regular users point of view, I find it unlikely they’ll even bother to acknowledge new email notifications, whereas live web notifications are standard, even expected in other widely used applications, both personal and workplace.

Thanks for your help.

[@style960 Participant 12 years ago]

As a secondary to this – the live notification plugin no longer works with any theme as of BP 2.1.1.
I have contacted the developer, waiting for a response.

[@style960 Participant 12 years ago]

@iryna_b This might be an obvious suggestion but have you tried adding !important to one of those styles that aren’t taking effect? So as an example:

.button:hover, .button:active { background: #dd823b; }
.button:hover, .button:active { background: #dd823b!important; }

[@style960 Participant 12 years ago]

Without trying it myself I would suggest page templates are one potential option. You can customize those BP pages and future proof them by adding them to your child theme. Recreate the same folder structure as your parent theme in your child theme, and it should work fine.

[@style960 Participant 12 years ago]

@milenushka This behaviour isn’t limited to Activity. Any page you set Buddypress to utilize – Groups, Members etc. won’t be available to edit. I’ll have to plead ignorance on this one though – just installed BP 1.81 and while the same pages are available to edit, those changes don’t show on the front-end. I’m not sure what you’ve been able to do with these pages in the past? I suspect the edit link has now been removed to avoid confusion rather than anything else.

[@style960 Participant 12 years ago]

@chatty24 Yeah it’s about removing the need for the commenting user (on an activity page or forum) to open the OP’s or last repliers profile to get the required @handle.

Although this is now showing on these forums at least. Maybe it’s been tested? It’s much more practical!

[@style960 Participant 12 years ago]

Sorry Hugo, my mistake. I appreciate BP is written by volunteers, who do a job beyond expectation, but sometimes the replies from moderators, like yourself, show a pretty poor attitude. Close this ticket. I was only requesting an update, like ‘tornatillo’ was, 2 weeks and 4 days ago.

[@style960 Participant 12 years ago]

Bumping this, no update received.

[@style960 Participant 12 years ago]

To create a member only site, I would highly recommend this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/jonradio-private-site/

[@style960 Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

@mercime If you visit http://falcon.everygoalmatters.com you can see the sidebar is present on every page. I set the ‘left sidebar’ template for the Register page, but no sidebar displayed. I then contact Buddyboss support who advised of the page template above to edit. Which I’ve also done, but still no sidebar will show. Off the top of my head, is it not the case that the Register page has no call to sidebar? I’ve swapped around with a few themes recently and saw the same issue on each one.

Thanks,
Paul.

[@style960 Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

@danbp I don’t know where those two files are you’ve noted. Maybe I wasn’t clear. It would seem logical to me for example, the ‘Sitewide Activity’ stream showed the @ handle of the posting or commenting user. This would make it far easier to reply instead of having to open the relevant user profile first, then go back a page and add your own comment. Think Twitter.

[@style960 Participant 12 years, 5 months ago]

@mercime Excellent. Thanks for the quick response.

[@style960 Participant 12 years, 7 months ago]

I’m happy to do some custom styling. Would be nice if the templates can do some of the leg work – BP is basically unusable on mobile on a default install.

[@style960 Participant 12 years, 7 months ago]

Can I ask how or when these template packs will be implemented? I’ve installed the 2.0 beta, but none of the BP pages look any different?

Thanks,
Paul.

[@style960 Participant 12 years, 7 months ago]

Good stuff 🙂 That might go some way to solving my biggest headache.

Thanks.

[@style960 Participant 12 years, 7 months ago]

@valuser I’ve received the email with your new update on but for some reason it’s not showing here?

BP-Resahre is what I’m looking for. Something which should be part of the core in my opinion. It does need some work as the reshare button shows for the original user but doesn’t work (needs logic to not appear), and it also needs a little css work, but it certainly functions correctly.

Thanks again.

[@style960 Participant 12 years, 7 months ago]

So it wouldn’t be possible to move the activity streams from Mentions and Favourites into the Personal tab to create one clean user activity log?

Then (on my site) move Following and Group activity streams into one tab?

That would seem to make a much cleaner profile page – one tab relative to the users actions only, and a secondary tab showing the actions of those they are friends/followers of, or groups they’re a member of.

I just feel the amount of tabs at present on both sitewide activity and user activity doesn’t make for a slick end-user experience.

Been able to select them from menus would be an improvement for sure but I thought it would be possible to do this by changing streams or loops? I’ve only had a skim read of that stuff at present to be honest.

Thanks.
