That’s odd, there is no file called bb-config.php located in the root of standard installs, in fact on my install I cannot find a file of that name at all.

Either way I’m thinking that you mist have some sort of compatibility issue that is stopping bbPress from loading. Have you tried deactivating all of your plugins apart from buddypress and bbPress and trying again?

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

I’ve not tested it myself but there are plugins such as “One Click Childtheme” available, maybe for newbies we should be recommending that?

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

I’ve just tested WP ULike and it seems to work fine, you have to setup the buddypress and bbPress side of things but thats easy enough

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

Another option you might like to look at is WP Ulike, this is a like function that works on WP Posts, Buddypress Activity and also bbpress topics. so It’s got wider appeal.

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

If the go to the GitHub for this plugin, there is a development version you can download from there that works. Not sure why the author has not updated the version on WordPress.

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

What I did was to set the content pages and posts as private in WordPress and then I gave the member role the ability to view private content using a user role editor plugin

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

I’ve found the file I think activity.php, but no clue as to what changes to make.

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

Yes, you would like the extra page to be ready built in the group with mandatory fields for group admin to fill in, this gives the group admin an option to create a new page, with their choice of layout and fields.

One plugin that might help with this is BuddyPress Group Extras

Have you tried PRivate Content?

Have you tried deactivating all the plugins apart from BuddyPress?

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

@danbp I’ve got an article in draft in the codex, do I submit it to someone for proof reading etc?

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

I remember looking at a plugin called something like Buddypress custom profile menu, maybe that would do it for you?

Sorry about the poor formatting, I’ve not had time to tidy it up

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

Just tried this and it works great, thanks for the code.

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

Thanks Henry

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

Finally cracked it with the following:

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘activity’ ).’&display_comments=stream’ ) ) : ?>

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

Actually no, that did not work, I was looking in the wrong view. Did I use that code right?

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

Yay! I guessed my way to success, I added the following to activity-loop.php:

‘*/
do_action( ‘bp_before_activity_loop’ ); ?>

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘activity’ ).’&object=groups,profile,status,friends,blogs’ ).’&action=display_comments=stream’ ) : ?>’

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

I’m looking at the activity-loop document in the codex, I’m wondering if display_comments stream is what I’m looking for.

Trouble is, from that document I have no idea where to place that argument or how to structure it. Ideally there would be an example of usage below every argument type.

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

I think this is a behaviour issue rather than a bug. I assumed that all comments would be displayed in the activity feed one the date that they are submitted. However it seems that activity for posts means that all comments are anchored under the original post which will appear in the activity feed on the date that it was posted.

So in otherwords, for a comment made yesterday to a blog submitted three days ago, you would need to scroll back through three days worth of activity updates in order to see the comment.

Filtering for comments only breaks this link to the original post and they are therefore seen as separate items, in the date order that they arrived, removed from the context of the original post.

Is there anyway I can change this behaviour? I want all comments to be displayed in the activity feed in the date order that they arrived, I’d be happy if they were separated from the original post since the comment itself holds the context link to the original post.

Is there some editing I can do to activity-loop or similar to achieve this?

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

Thanks for this, tested them and they work great.

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

OK, I’ve managed to replicate the problem on my test site. It seems to be related to comments on older posts.

I’m running 2015 and Buddypress, that’s all.

Comments on older posts are not showing in the activity feed when it is set to Everything, they can only be seen if comments only are selected in the filter.

Comments on recent posts are shown under the update for that post.

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

Thanks for the suggestion

Yep that is set.

The strange thing is, If I filter it to show only comments, the comments show up.

[@venutius Moderator 11 years ago]

Nope that wasn’t the problem after all, turns out that post was just using standard comments and not the bbPress forums. back to the drawing board.
