Does the validator work when you go to youdomain.com/wp-register.php? If so, then the plugin likely does not support BuddyPress.

@mercime – We are using group forums. We are, however, rewriting the urls using the forum slug constant in wp-config.php.

It is weird, because this is only happening on our DEV environment. It seems to be working fine on LIVE.

Any other thoughts? Possible avenues to explore?

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

Thanks for the reply, Paul.

Here is a 30-second screencast I made showing the issue in action as well as the weird solution.

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

Something like this might do the trick:

`
global $bp, $current_user;
$username = $current_user->user_login;
echo ‘My Profile‘;
`

[@themightymo Participant 13 years, 10 months ago]

BuddyPress uses loops like regular WordPress, so you need to update your theme or functions.php to give you this functionality.

I know this isn’t a solution, but hopefully it gets you going down the right path.

FYI, I am using WP 3.4.1 with BP 1.5.6.

Step 1: Build a BuddyPress child theme: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Step 2: Add a style for h1: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp

I believe you can run a wp_query function before the loop in the template to restrict which blogs display (by blog id).

[@themightymo Participant 14 years, 1 month ago]

Are you referring to the tabs within groups (admin, topics, etc.)?

If so, the quick and dirty way to hide them is via CSS.

Paul, You are a genius! Thank you!!!

[@themightymo Participant 14 years, 1 month ago]

Is the button in the html output of the page?

[@themightymo Participant 14 years, 1 month ago]

You can add this to wp-config.php:

`define( ‘BP_FORUMS_SLUG’, ‘conversations’ );`

That will change the slug. To change the actual text that is rendered on the page, check out the “Custom Groups Name” plugin at http://hardlyneutral.com/wordpress-plugins/

…and if you are feeling adventurous, go ahead and start editing your translation files!

I am interested in threaded forum posts as well.

[@themightymo Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

The following function seems to work:

function my_bp_nav_adder()
{
bp_core_new_nav_item(
array(
'name' => __('All Conversations Button', 'buddypress'),
'slug' => 'all-conversations',
'position' => 75,
'show_for_displayed_user' => true,
'screen_function' => 'all_conversations_link',
'item_css_id' => 'all-conversations'
));
}
function all_conversations_link () {
//add title and content here - last is to call the members plugin.php template
add_action( 'bp_template_title', 'my_all_conversations_title' );
add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'my_all_conversations_content' );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
}

function my_all_conversations_title() {
echo 'My Page Title';
}
function my_all_conversations_content() {
echo 'Add the loop here';
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'my_bp_nav_adder', 100 );

[@themightymo Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

The latest function (above) brings me to the correct url (not to the home page), and it echoes the all_conversations_link() function before the html “doctype” declaration on the resulting page.

How do I get the all_conversations_link() function to echo on the tab that the bp_core_new_nav_item() function creates?

Thanks!

[@themightymo Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

I created a wrapper function, which seems to be a better way to go, but the problem persists. When I click the “All Conversations Button” link, I am redirected to the home page.

function my_bp_nav_adder()
{
bp_core_new_nav_item(
array(
'name' => __('All Conversations Button', 'buddypress'),
'slug' => 'all-conversations',
'position' => 75,
'show_for_displayed_user' => true,
'screen_function' => 'all_conversations_link',
'item_css_id' => 'all-conversations'
));
}
function all_conversations_link () {
echo 'my loop will go here';
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'my_bp_nav_adder' );

Any ideas?

Thanks!

By the way, I am running WP 3.1.2 with BuddyPress 1.2.8.

[@themightymo Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

The links work fine for me. Has this issue been resolved?

[@themightymo Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

This might not be the ideal way to do it, but if you are looking for a quick fix, you can hide the reply button with CSS.

[@themightymo Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

@nicholmikey – Did you figure this out? I am having the same issue.

[@themightymo Participant 14 years, 11 months ago]

@oldrow – With hosting, a lot of times you get what you pay for. I don’t have experience with Lunar Pages, but I do know that if you want to control how fast your site loads, you need either a better shared hosting environment or a VPS or better.

If you want to stick with cheap hosts, you might try another one. For example, I have had decent luck with Hostgator.

[@themightymo Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

You need to set that up during the installation process. I believe it is very difficult to switch from a sub-folder setup to a sub-directory setup.

[@themightymo Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

Google Analytics is great for seeing the number of page views, but it won’t give you information about specific users.

We just released an alpha version of Heavy Analytics (http://heavyanalytics.com) for single-user WordPress installations. This plugin handles analytics and reporting on the WordPress and user level, picking up where Google Analytics leaves off.

In the near future, we will be releasing a BuddyPress add-on for Heavy Analytics, which will give you all sorts of information about how users are using your BuddyPress site – how they are interacting with each other, who are the quality contributors, etc.

[@themightymo Participant 15 years, 4 months ago]

@davidn879 – Much of that functionality will be included in our BuddyPress add-on for Heavy Analytics.
