@burt yes i have noticed that it is really slow… how can i get this sorted do i contact my server… could my site be slow due to all the plugins.. ??

for the privacy I used a redirect url script that just redirect people who are not logged in.. i will try repost here when i find it.. its just i cant go into my server until my uni lecturers have marked my project.. : (

the welcome bar is really simple just a if user loged in php statement that i used from the buddypress nav bars.. again i cant remember exactly how to right this but ill find it on my mac and in the cod and repost..

thanks all

Burtadsit.. ive done what you surgest and i have had no joy.

i honestly think that it is a problem with the patch. defining the groups only and not allowing for members to come into it.. ??

@andy

@burtadsit

could the patch that burt has made here.. https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/723 change the way that this bit of code works in my post-list.php in my theme.

<?php if ( bp_has_wire_posts( 'item_id=' . bp_wire_item_id() . '&can_post=' . bp_wire_can_post() ) ) : ?>

basically andy you offerd this as a fix but i am just wondering that now that the issues with the slugs in the core files that are fixed on groups wire now effect the way in which the wires post display on the profile side of things..

does tha make sense??

In other words i am try the fix the fact that the wire posts are not displaying on profile pages.

they were working perfectly before burt and i fixed the groups wire??

[trcwest]

yes ther is problem with the slugs and certain bit of code that means that wire is broken on the groups page

burt helped me get this to work..

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/723

the problem i have now is that when i went through this i managed to break the displaying of the profile wire.. the post submit ok but the display of them has conked??

can any one think what it could be… they were working well before..

one thing i did do is define change ( ‘BP_GROUPS_DB_VERSION’, ‘1300’ ); to 1301 and this may have broken it i changed it back now.. could it have…

where is the display wire for profile part

[trcwest]

On the normal signup page an email has to be given and it works nicely with emails.

BUT with the facebook conect plugin it obviously does not give the users email. So the fbc plugin cannot require email as it would break

SO i want to have a feature that prompts them to update there email to stay conected.

I dont know how to make this so some help would be great

[trcwest]

does any one know of anoyher forum topic for this.

I would really appreciate some help…

thanks

[trcwest]

I would like to ad an extra thing to your bp dev groups extra plugin.. that is a description field to explain what the field is all about..

Spot Email … DESC info@trcwest.com

etc..

also how could i set it up so that when it sees an url or email it uses it correctly..

is there a way of filtering groups by your extra fields as i have used it to tag them??

i have also got things working quite well on the gmaps thing… just have a few litle problems.. but thanks i used your plugin..

[trcwest]

GREAT NEWS>>>

http://spotskenya.com can now officially geo tag groups or in my case spots..

it was all possible with nicola grecos extra group fields plugin and a few fairly dodgey but effective hacks..

WHAT can you do ??

1) when making a group (spot) you can find it on the gmap and set the exact location

2) when the group has been saved you can then view the marker on a the map on the goups page

3) you can then edit the exact location in the admin…

WOOP

a few thigns that are not working is..

for a pop up box with in the gmap i need to have the name and the avata and short description show..

so i have found these functions..

This is the scrip that calls the the name of the spot is there a way of putting this in a pop up box on the showmap page

<h1>"><?php bp_group_name() ?></h1>

this is the script that calls the spots avatar.

<?php bp_group_avatar() ?>

but in order for these to work i am going to need to know which php files need to be included for the functions to exist.

i am working on making an xml file that calls all the groups and plots them on the map… an thoughts on how to get..

1) NAme

2) avatar

3) description from all the different tables.

4) lat and long

a search function would also be cool..

any way just wanted to see what people thought and some advice on the gettting ong the name for the popup

[trcwest]

Good News….

I have been able to hook in the gmap and to get the Lat and the Lng through a marker..

it is addin the lat and long to the database through nicolagrecos extra groups plugin..

I just need to figure out to give either a unique ID to the lat and long td p tag.. or just parse through the lat and long so that the gmap can display it on the page..

So any thoughts on how to do this.. would be ace

Thank you so so so so so much that worked nicely..

[trcwest]

sounds pretty sweet.. when its all working ill try impliment it.. cheers

[trcwest]

the main thing is to just work through the header then throught he content and then through the footer..

just take it slow..

you will need to know css and be able to identify the tags and then right the corresponding styles

[trcwest]

i realise i may have to define the user name and then echo it but i dont know how to do this..

[trcwest]

This is what i have in my main blog theme that works nicely.. in the wordpress header..

http://buddypress.pastebin.com/m63552cf1

I just want to do the same thing on the buddy press side of things..

the above code doesnt work on the buddy press side.

I have been trying things like..

<?php echo bp_the_site_member_name(); ?>

The idea is to just alow for a quick create group button that takes dynamically adds the users username based on this url..

http://spotskenya.com/spotters/!!!!!username!!!!!/spots/create/

does that make sense??

[trcwest]

http://spotskenya.com/groups/&lt;? bp_core_get_username( bp_the_site_member_user_id() );?> /group/create/”

oops

[trcwest]

if you just want to echo the user name for a url how can i do this.. there doesnt seem to be a exact answere.. eg

/group/create/”>

[trcwest]

Any thoughts any one..

[trcwest]

Cheers got it

[trcwest]

Jjj

I have no idea how to use funtions or filters. But if you can explain how to do this or a good tutorial.

I have had a look at this but it doesn’t hook in well with the latest svn as the plugins have moved so the plugin doesn’t work. I have asked about this but sadly ok reply.

The problem is that I kinda need to be led through things as I am not so good with the technical code

[trcwest]

yeah mee too.. i have transfered the profile/index.php accross to my theme.. but its still not working..

[trcwest]

ok ill do that…

i have just reverted to v 1325 and it works nice..

are the upgrade instructions in the readme in the latest svn… ?? or is a post or codex post??

[trcwest]

also is there any way of just patching this accross for groups.. this would really help my project??

[trcwest]

Bergsten

how do we use your plugin for the new buddypress things that are now in plugins/buddypress/ not mu-plugins ??

because i notice that the bp-core.php that it calls is no longer in mu plugins and that is giving me a php error.. ???

If you can please let me know.. i would love to use it??

[trcwest]

@Peterverkooijen

Great stuff i have that implimented nicely on my signup.php page..

thanks
