BuddyPress.org

the setting is in the main buddypress settings under the settings tab.

hi check this thread you need to create that file:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-can-i-use-old-buddypress-admin-bar-if-i-dont-want-to-use-this-new-one-in-1-6/

Short answer is yes! You can use bp-profile-search plugin to search for specific profile fields. Not certain it works with the current versions of WordPress and BuddyPress though. It works great in WP 3.2.1 and BP 1.5.1
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-search/
The standard search works well too but you have to know what your searching for. BP-Profile-Search shows a visible form and a user can choose what to search for based on the criteria you set up in the plugin.

@swaggstar Where in BP-Loader.php did you place the file? I’m having the same issue and have been since 1.6.x released.

I installed BuddyPress and it crashed my site, so I installed it on two test-sites we own. We were locked out of the dash board on all three attempts. I deleted the plugin files via ftp and replaced the .htaccess file before I could access the dashboards again. The .htaccess files needed to be replaced because the following two lines of code mysteriously disappeared:

AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

We are wondering if the problem lies with our hosting company, as we have had similar issues with the .htaccess file before. (We use 1and1.com).

I really need this functionality on my website and would very much appreciate any advice or assistance in this matter.

Thank you!!!

@shawn38 thanks for your help i figured things out after reading this post i also figured out that the plugin does work you just can’t turn it on or off using the new toolbar so what i did was using the custom file to temporarily activate the old toolbar in order to activate the ninja plugin. thanks again for all your help here and on the other topic!

Have you tried this plugin?

Are you using a BuddyPress compatible theme?

@karmatosed,

Right. I wasn’t clear. What I meant was that if a running history of “notifications” were stored and available, then it should also be available for viewing. So, would that mean that the yellow notifications dropdown under the avatar becomes its own menu item… I figure that it shouldn’t be incumbent upon the user to determine whether a “notification” is worth remembering and thus, have to make a decision to “remember” that it occurred sometime. If I’m still swimming in muddy water, let me know and I’ll give it another shot.

I like the layout, specifically, the customized header. It definitely would get more user interaction and ownership of their own profile if provided the opportunity to customize it–could slot a slider in there… It would be pretty sweet.

@karmatosed,

I prefer your third variation(eyes focus on one area); however, I would prefer having the option of viewing a timeline of notifications, not just the most recent.

Closing this thread @newpress I’m starting to get a wee bit annoyed now Please do not open old threads for no good reason.

Did you wrap the code @mercime gave you in opening and closing php tags? Like this:
`<?php
add_action(“plugins_loaded”,”bpdev_init_sm_mode”);
function bpdev_init_sm_mode(){
if(is_site_admin())
remove_action(“wp_head”,”bp_core_record_activity”); //id SM is on, remove the record activity hook
}
?>`

@rogercoathup thanks for responding sorry for the delay in my response wasn’t getting site updates for a while there. either way would be fine but I’m not very adapt at coding (sql or otherwise). id wait for an update to the plugin but we all know that goes sometimes and it seems like @francescolaffi is off on some kind of extended vacation or sabbatical. actually holding off on upgrading to 1.6 on a client site because of the issue

If you think it’s a problem, please create an enhancement ticket on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/, using your username and password that you used to log into this site, explaining why you think the behaviour should be changed, and we’ll take a look at it.

well I’m only suggesting frame based nav as a possible solution to the issue that @FIQ is raising as it pertains to the spacing issues when it comes to the vertical versus horizontal nav. i have some ideas stirring about how you would implement that in collapsed form but nothing solid enough to share quite yet. ill try to throw something together this weekend.

i have a new(ish) idea if you click the customize from the wp admin bar on wp.com web site you’ll get a frame which comes out from the side so technically it takes no horizontal space in collapsed mode. i think the only challenge (besides maybe coding related stuff as mentioned by @jjj when asked about the popup media uploader box) is that in the collapsed mode it may be too obscure for people to even know its there but i think that particular thing should be easy in that we would just make it more noticeable but i think the real advantage is that being on a separate frame it wouldn’t really matter what the theme was doing. anyway heres an image for those of you who don’t have wp.com accounts:
