BuddyPress.org

hi @mercime this is the site http://www.habakwahaba.com/ what i basically want is groups for
Real Estate
Stocks
Techprenuers
Stocks

each group has a forum .i would like each of the group to have forums on a separate page .earlier i put bbpress but the css is not pleasing .plus i want the members of fthe groups to interact .

I would be glad if you assist

I am using BBpress login widget, could that be the problem?

@bphelp, Wow and thank you for the awesome tutorial. This is perfect! I was actually using the original site I put up as a tempsite until I had the whole Buddy Press and bbpress thing figured out. I am in the process now of building our new site which will up be and running shortly.

The information you sent me is great. The register and log-in pages are wonderful. I am probably going to have to make some changes to our WP theme as I found out just recently that they have published a bbpress child theme which works great with the original WP theme. In fact, I’ll even give them a little plug here…Mysitemyway.com has some awesome premium wordpress themes that are definitely work a “look see” by anyone that is light on WP coding and wants a truly beautiful theme! So there guys…there’s your “plug’o the day!” from LDJ! LOL

Since learning a bunch of new things playing with the old temp site, the new site is going to be formatted completely different. I owe it to everyone here for their help during this learning curve and thank you everybody for all your great advice.

I’ll put up the new url as soon as I get the stuff up and running and I know I’ll be back here to get more help as we move forward with our forum site.

Thanks again for all your help!

Here’s the plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/rating-widget/

The developer said: “seems like you are using the standalone version of bbPress … we only support BuddyPress’es bbPress forums.”

I don’t have any group forums, as they’re not necessary. Using most recent version of WP & BP under Woo’s Canvas theme. Thanks!

FirmaSite 1.1.4 released.

Biggest improvement is adding Flatly named theme style. You can check demo here:

Ok. I played around with it until I found out the issue, but I don’t know how to solve it.

In groups > forum > topics > My New Topic … when I inspect the element for the href for the modify link (and others) are as follows…

href=”http://mysite.com/groups/Sailing/forum/topic/edit?_wpnonce=xxx”. This gives me a blank page, or bbpress edit form.

If I slightly modify the url to href=”http://mysite.com/groups/Sailing/forum/topic/my-new topic/edit?_wpnonce=xxx” then I see things exactly how they are supposed to be. So the modify link was taking me to the wrong page.

I have no idea how to modify the url to insert the topic title. This would completely resolve my issue

The modify link is embedded in the bp_the_topic_admin_links function.

function bp_the_topic_admin_links( $args = '' ) {
	echo bp_get_the_topic_admin_links( $args );
}
	function bp_get_the_topic_admin_links( $args = '' ) {
		global $forum_template;

		$defaults = array(
			'seperator' => '|'
		);

		$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
		extract( $r, EXTR_SKIP );

		$links[] = '<a href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_the_topic_permalink() . 'edit', 'bp_forums_edit_topic' ) . '">' . __( 'Edit Topic', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';

		if ( bp_is_item_admin() || bp_is_item_mod() || bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' ) ) {
			if ( 0 == (int) $forum_template->topic->topic_sticky )
				$links[] = '<a href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_the_topic_permalink() . 'stick', 'bp_forums_stick_topic' ) . '">' . __( 'Sticky Topic', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';
			else
				$links[] = '<a href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_the_topic_permalink() . 'unstick', 'bp_forums_unstick_topic' ) . '">' . __( 'Un-stick Topic', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';

			if ( 0 == (int) $forum_template->topic->topic_open )
				$links[] = '<a href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_the_topic_permalink() . 'open', 'bp_forums_open_topic' ) . '">' . __( 'Open Topic', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';
			else
				$links[] = '<a href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_the_topic_permalink() . 'close', 'bp_forums_close_topic' ) . '">' . __( 'Close Topic', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';

			$links[] = '<a class="confirm" id="topic-delete-link" href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_the_topic_permalink() . 'delete', 'bp_forums_delete_topic' ) . '">' . __( 'Delete Topic', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';
		}

		return implode( ' ' . $seperator . ' ', (array) $links );
	}

ALSO, is there a way to disable bbpress user profiles, completely? I only want bp profiles active.

Thanks for responding.

-I’m using WP 3.5
-BP 1.7 is installed in a directory.
-I have bbpress 2.2.4 running
Please let me know if you need anymore info

@mercime, I did download and install the integration but that didn’t seem to make any difference with the issues that I’ve been having. I just deleted the files from my site and I’m going to have a guy who helps us with our coding remove any traces of bbPress or BuddyPress from the myPHPadmin file and the reinstall everything.

Wordpress 3.5.1, Buddypress 1.7.2, using Bonpress free theme from WPZOOM. I just realized there might be a conflict with WordPress Social Login, which is pulling avatar data from Facebook/Twitter when registering new members, or just when logging them back in with the social options.

When I shut off WordPress Social Login, the Buddypress avatars show up in BBPress. When I turn social login back on, the original avatars from when the user signed up take over the BBPress avatars.

OK, color me confused. Registration is working (the only thing I changed was not directly linking to the /register page, but I can’t see how that would be an issue), but now there’s another problem.

When a user registers, they’re forwarded along to the “wait for your confirmation” message. Once a user clicks the activation link in the e-mail, the system says they have successfully activated the account.

But this is where it gets interesting: I’m using the bbPress login widget in the header. If they try to login immediately (which would be the logical course for the user), the system responds with the red box and says they need to need enter their activation key.

Yet, they’re logged in.

Anyway to bypass this, or at the very least add a link they can click on? It seems silly to tell people “Congrats on signing up” and then not give the user an action.

Any help would be appreciated!

Sorry, I just found a ticket is open here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2279
