BuddyPress.org

@qrahaman – thanks for the feedback. We used Buddyvents on a few projects at the time, but more recently have been working with Modern Tribe’s Event Manager plugin.

Hi,
Check this

/**

* Check if the current user has an uploaded avatar

* @return boolean

*/

function current_user_has_avatar() {

global $bp;

if ( bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( 'item_id' => $bp->loggedin_user->id, 'no_grav' => true,'html'=> false ) ) != bp_core_avatar_default() )

return true;

return false;

}

@chouf1
– I am using a child theme of bp-default theme, a port of apeatling’s design of BP 1.0 BuddyPress theme https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.0/bp-themes/bphome/screenshot.png
– Also that IS screenshot of the BuddyPress Group Forums new topic page. You can see the Group Name and Group Admins above the forum topic

But going back to the syntax highlighter, I do see the issue now if I post HTML/PHP code just like yours instead of CSS which I posted above and used lately. I was able to find a work-around by using `[ sourcecode lang=”title” ] the code [ /sourcecode ]` (just remove the spaces before ahd after the brackets) Result: https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/bp161-shevolved-php.png

@rogercoathup,

Your site looks great. Nice styling of the Buddyvents plugin.

@rbasmaji if I recall well from recent forum posts, Custom Community theme needs to be updated. Change to bp-default theme and check if issue is resolved.

@bifrost you need to make your WP theme compatible with BuddyPress by installing/activating the BP Template Pack plugin. Then go to Appearance > BP Compatibility process.

Unless said bbPress plugin specifically notes that it also works with the BuddyPress Group Forums, then no.

@mumbaipav you’re welcome. Sure you can use a different sidebar. For example you have a sidebar-mumbaipav.php, you copy that file and Save As > sidebar-buddypress.php then add the codes I posted above at the very TOP and at the very BOTTOM of that new file and upload to server.

@chouf1 site is private, but I took a screenshot of the group forum topic I made for you as well as the screenshot of the config settings. I post code usually e.g.
[ sourcecode lang=”css” ] the code [ /sourcecode ]
or [ php ] the code [ /php ]
P.S. had to put the spacings between brackets or else it won’t show up here.

I struggled with this too, but here’s the best solution I came up with:

My apologies I’m terrible with my understanding of php etc.. but when I copied the code above for another Themeblvd theme (Akita) the resulting page comes up blank? Is their a solution for the Akita theme?
The themes page.php file is as follows:

[ Edit – removed code.

Hmmm.. I agree Dannyjimmy.. I was excited to see an “official” link on caching for BP, but it looks like I’ve found nothing.

@thirstcard — image replacement techniques for small pieces of text like this are used throughout the web (find a modern website that doesn’t do it somewhere or other) — Google is not going to punish you for this. Have a read around, there are hundreds of articles on this and SEO.

Here’s Jeffrey Zeldman’s post on the latest technique to use: http://www.zeldman.com/2012/03/01/replacing-the-9999px-hack-new-image-replacement/

@modemlooper – I missed where you made that point?

@synergywp – I understand where you are coming from re: visibility of username in the url and the consequent reduction in site security.

It’s a fundamental part of the way BuddyPress sets up the URL structure, but should theoretically be
possible to rework the rewrite system to implement something more secure. Perhaps in the Facebook style, where user ID in the URL is just a number (until they change it to a preferred name), and does not reveal their login username (an email).

Would be interesting to get feedback from an informed core developer on this subject — did you check the trac to see if it had been raised before.

[EDIT: having said all that, is Facebook much more secure? — if someone knows my email address, they know my username]

Options:

Create a new user then give that user admin privileges and then delete the admin account This may delete the content associated with the deleted account.

Edit database directly. Links may get broken.
