BuddyPress.org

Yes, the default of BuddyPress is to show the common social network but you don’t have to go that route. Look at the Tasty Kitchen site as an example. The authors post recipes and they use BuddyPress to manage the user profile and connect ratings and such.

@cristian-mihai Initial scan shows that you might only need to create 2 files for BP compatibility. What’s the name of the theme? Theme demo URl? Need to double-check.

Hi again, @sakarya I’m not quite sure of what you refer to when you say you’re using them for content, but you can customize everything having a group “tagged” as a page. I have scrapped Facebook’s categories and kept just a few that has to do with my own community (www.soysurfista.com) f.e: Local commerce or business / Institution / Surf School / Public or famous person / Professional sportsman / Music artist or band and so on…
Then I list only that “groups” in separate directory pages, and customize everithing in the creation process and the way they look. For example, if it’s a “local commerce” I add a google interactive map with the address. If it’s a person not, of course. You can do preety much everything…

the button is hidden until you click inside the textarea. JavaScript is used to show button. Are you using the BP-default theme?

these topics relate:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/activity-stream-not-showing-comments/

don’t have a solution yet — btw: what’s the easiest way to figure out what file is being discussed in the codex?

best,

@mercime I tried going through the installation wizard again while on Twenty Eleven theme, but when I get to Theme, the page still shows a complete blank. After that, I uninstalled and reinstalled BP in case the problem was caused by an improper BP installation. Also tried to switch to the BP default theme before running installation wizard. Same problem still. Do you know what else could be causing such an issue?

== What I need, is, to put the Members, Activities, Blogs, Forums, … from Buddypress installed under wandlungen.org also under spirituell.ws. ==

@bomio Are the users/members in spirituall.ws the same users/members in the main site?
Did you want to enable members of spirituell.ws to post to e.g. Forums of main site in spirituell.ws or do you want to have a separate BP installation for spirituell.ws?
Btw, did you use the Domain Mapping plugin to point spirituell.ws to http://spirituell.wandlungen.org?

After 1.7 is out and I get back to mobile dev I’ll create mobile wap template for BuddyPress that should work on feature phones.

They’re having issues with the latest update. You’d be better to following the plugin here:

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-media

@nicholmikey You can make a WP theme compatible with BP by installing/activating the BP template pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP compatibility process.
– the process at a glance with some “template-packed” WP themes near bottom of page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
– a recently “template-packed” artisteer theme https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/bp-compatibility-plugin-with-an-artisteer-theme/

The plugin author did not enable the Plugin’s Group Forums in this site. You can post support questions straight in plugin’s WP forums. Go to https://buddypress.org/community/groups/events-manager/ and click on the Support tab/link.

B. COPY sidebar.php and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php file

Open up sidebar-buddypress.php and at the very TOP of the file above all other code, add:
``

Keep the file open, and at the very BOTTOM of the file below all other code, add:

`

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
if ( jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).length && !jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).hasClass(‘show’) )
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).toggle();
jQuery( ‘input#signup_with_blog’ ).click( function() {
jQuery(‘div#blog-details’).fadeOut().toggle();
});
});

`

Save file.

C. Upload header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to your theme folder in server wp-content/themes/themorningafter/ in the same directory where your regular header.php and sidebar.php files are

D. Final note: Copy the style modifications for some BP elements https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-dev-bp-template-pack-walkthrough-twenty-ten-bp-1-5/3/ and paste those at the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet, then adjust to taste.

@hnla BP 1.7 after Xmas/New Year break I hope

@jacques24 You only need to create two new files, header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php to make your theme compatible with BP.

If you’ve revised any of the BP template files transferred to your themorningafter theme folder in server during the BP Compatibility process, please delete the 6 BP folders transferred to your themorningafter theme folder in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /members, /groups, /register – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to make sure that you have clean template files.

A. COPY your theme’s header.php and Save As > header-buddypress.php

Open up header-buddypress.php and at the BOTTOM of the file, below other code contained within, add this:
`<?php
global $woo_options;
get_template_part( ‘top-banner’ );
?>

@platzenderhirsch check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/events-manager/ which has BP support.

@gcchick01 haven’t seen a similar plugin which is compatible with BuddyPress/BP profiles. Best place to make a request and possibly a donation to extend plugin for BP compatibility is with the plugin author

Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean it can’t be done. You can create all the functionality you want by extending BuddyPress. BuddyPress should not obtain a position that its a be all. It should have a core that helps someone to extend functionality. It would be very easy if it’s not already a plugin to have a like feature for WP content.

In my opinion, Buddypress should be a social network that connects authors, readers, and every creation in between.

You can have this. you just have to tweak BuddyPress to accomplish this.

@nanetteturner, if you are talking about video embed as that is what i can see on you site, You can change the height and width by going to your dashboard

>settings

>Media. then you wiil see embed section where you can set width and height.
