BuddyPress.org

This is because the dir-search class is set to position relative. Just take out the position:relative for div.dir-search in wp-content/plugins/buddyvents/css/events.css on line 1.

Hey Guys,

I am having trouble with the @gregfielding technique. I’ve tried the 3 steps of getting the form on the home page but i simply receive a: HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error). I am using the buddyboss template. Any ideas?

Currenty I have copied the HTML from mywebsite.com/regiser and I am using the form along with the form tag:

<form action="” name=”signup_form” id=”signup_form” class=”standard-form” method=”post” enctype=”multipart/form-data”>

When the form is submitted I am taken to mywebsite.com/regiser and I receive this error:

“Are you sure you want to do this?
Please try again.”

With the ‘Please Try Again’ Linking back to the home page.

Any idea how I can resolve either ?!

@ad33lx This issue would be better addressed by the developers of the premium plugin and theme developers in their own fora..

If I’m not mistaken BuddyBoss require you to click a join link. The box you refer to is the login form.

You can add “Blog” page in BP-compatible themes much like how you can do this in a regular WP site – http://www.nathanrice.net/blog/creating-a-blog-page-with-paging/

If that doesn’t work for you, contact BuddyBoss theme authors as they would know if there were any blocks to creating the “Blog” page per instructions above.

You might want to inquire of your hosts support why this is happening as it’s not that desirable on a member login site

`503: Service Temporarily Unavailable

Please contact Support if you require assistance.`

As for the issue this is simply one where you need to get stuck into the CSS it’s the job of the front-end developer to ensure cross browser compat and there are no plugins that will do this for you, as you are a web developer I guess this falls down to you however I see you have actually used a pre built theme ‘buddyboss’ so you might want to speak to the authors and see if there’s a fix they can provide.

Please check out http://www.buddyboss.com. Our theme has a built in Facebook wall out of the box. It’s the real deal, much more Facebook-like than even buddypress.org.

Check out http://www.buddyboss.com/demo. The theme has a built-in Facebook Wall. It doesn’t allow for picture uploads but it works just like a Facebook wall and you can add videos in via oEmbed. Full disclosure: I built that theme.

@josh101. @mentions are confusing to 99% of users, for real. I have built lots of client sites and literally *every* client asks me WTF are @mentions. I tell them how it works and they say why doesn’t it just work like Facebook, and I pretty much have no response because I agree with them. Hence, http://www.buddyboss.com

I have long thought BuddyPress was confusing, and so I decided to take on the task of building a theme that would solve every issue I have with BuddyPress. It can be downloaded at http://www.buddyboss.com.

1. Groups and Forums are combined in an INTUITIVE way on my theme. It finally makes sense!
2. @mentions are gone. In their place is a TRUE Facebook wall on every profile. Post on friend’s profiles and status updates with threaded comments. You’ve got to try it to see how sweet it is
3. Stripped out all of the nonsense that adds to BuddyPress’ general chaos, and what’s left is a simple and enjoyable experience.

Try the BuddyBoss theme at http://www.buddyboss.com. It combines groups and forums in a way that is MUCH more intuitive than the default BuddyPress setup, no hacking required. I think a big issue with BuddyPress is that the layout of groups and forums is usually confusing to people. We’ve fixed that

Here’s the answer! It has always frustrated me how @mentions work in BuddyPress as I find it chaotic and confusing for users. So I built a theme that converts the @mentions system into a TRUE Facebook wall with post to profile and threaded replies. If you every need to, at any time you can deactivate our Wall Component from the dashboard and your content will revert to @mentions, You can download the theme at http://www.buddyboss.com.

Yes. The BuddyBoss theme at http://www.buddyboss.com has a true Facebook-style wall built in. It converts @mentions into an intuitive wall posting system with threaded replies.

I created a theme that comes with a true Facebook wall. It converts all @mentions into Wall posts that can be replied to and threaded on your profile and is extremely intuitive to use, and it makes use of some of the code in R-a-y’s plugin. You can get it at http://www.buddyboss.com.

You might want to try the BuddyBoss theme at http://www.buddyboss.com. It has a built in Wall on user profiles. Images and video can be added via oEmbed for BuddyPress, and the wall functions like a true Facebook wall in terms of how the conversation flows. It converts @mentions into wall posts so the BP Gallery plugin could potentially be integrated if you know what you’re doing.

I suggest that you take advantage of BuddyBase theme dev’s forums or download a copy of the theme and re-upload manually via FTP or cpanel etc.

EDIT – on second thought after seeing their forums, I suggest re-uploading copy of theme since something got lost in a revision or file transmission. It should look like the demo http://www.buddyboss.com/buddybase/the-museum-of-science-and-industry/

You could possible use the group docs plugin or create your own component or even use something like gravity forms.
