BuddyPress.org

Hi @pjtna,

There are many ways to accomplish what you want, depending essentially of your php/html knowledge.
First thing you have to do anyway is to create a child theme.

Second, IMO, the easiest would be to create a widget with help of the TextWidget delivered with WP and phpexec plugin. This plugin allows to insert php, css and HTML into the TextWidget. No need then to hack into the sidebar file.

Note: you can search on this forum with Google. Use `buddypress.org: your search terms`
This would bring you many answers.
And apologize if I push an opened door

Hi

http://polkadot-developers.co.za/ specialized in WordPress and Buddypress.

You can use bbPress 2.1+ today with BuddyPress 1.6+. It works great for new sites, but if you’ve got existing group forum content you’d need to migrate, I’d hold off until bbPress 2.2.

I don’t know about the other details; I know JJJ spoke about them, but not sure what’s decided. I imagine any new features would be released incrementally.

BP group forum specific plugins will become incompatible, yes.

“Group forums will be scripted to use the Sitewide Forums pretty soon”
music to my ears!.
But even then there are few hitchs.

Can we start sub forums or categories within a group forum?
what about buddypress group forum specific plugins? Will they become incompatible?

Thanks for this. I found it and deleted a group. This process needs simplification and user consideration. If each step is exceptionally time consuming and complex, using Buddypress is not possible. I appreciate it is free. We cannot complain but it really isn’t free if you are spending weeks of time to achieve patch it temporary solutions that fall apart, one update or plug in later. We still cannot solve our posts, forum or basic search issues. Once again, it is free and we should appreciate that but….

The default BuddyPress theme there is a folder called buddypress/_inc/

This folder includes a file called global.js. That file controls the appearance of the post submission button. I checked and it doesn’t appear that your theme has that js file. I haven’t done much work with the template pack so can’t say whether or not it has this, but the missing js is why it isn’t loading.

You could get around this by adding the following to the bottom of your theme’s CSS:
`#whats-new-options { height: 40px; }`

Hope that helps!

Have you tried deactivating all your other plugins apart from BuddyPress? If not try that in conjunction with the default theme. If that works, you know the problem is in your plugins rather than a corrupted database / installation.

My clients are currently also interested in threaded replies in the Group Forums. Any luck in finding a solution @Matt and @energynet?

btw. @mercime Do you know when the Group Forums are going to be scripted to use the Sitewide Forums from bbPress?

@c0rp53 agree and right on point

Hi @Chouf1,

that actually works very well! Since now there isn’t any redirection the page loads without a redirection delay too. Thanks a lot for pointing that page out!

(Edit)

After using
`
define( ‘BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION’, ‘forum’ );
`

I found this repeating over and over again in my error log:
`
[20-Aug-2012 18:56:13] PHP Warning: call_user_func_array(): First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘redirect_to_forum’ was given in /home2/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 484
`

I’m not sure what I should do now.. any clue?

Edit:

Sorry, this was caused by my silly mistake of forgetting to delete
`
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘redirect_to_forum’ );
`

You should post this in the jobs board group: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/

Also, include your contact details.

If you use BP 1.6.x you can find here some new improvements
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

Why do you want to remove html code when you don’t know what genrate it ?
That said, the profile textarea’s content is in the DB (xprofile tab from memory)
But you have to find what plugin genrates the double insertion. The unique solution is to proceed like i explained previously.

First activate the bp-default theme with no plugins except BP and create a new profile field for testing.
If the field shows correctly, you have to update the Huddle theme (you can use Template Pack plugin to do this easily).
If the problem remains, you have to reactive one by one your plugins.

Hi @travcentralen,

you source code contains some tags that should not be there. A doubled href in this case:
`

<a href="http://www.travcentralen.se/medlemmar/?s=1985&#8243;; rel=”nofollow”>1985

`

instead of
`

http://www.travcentralen.se/medlemmar/?s=1985; rel=”nofollow”>1985

`

EDIT: Sorry for the code, but buddypress is stripping it despite backsticks.

Did you insert your datas with HTML code ? Or do you use an old pulgin ?

Deactivate all your plugins except buddypress.
Then test with bp-degfault and see if the problem remains.
Than reactivate your plugins one by one to find the culprit.
