BuddyPress.org

Yes, it works really well for this organisation – their build has been running for over two years now, and we add new features on a fairly continual basis.

There are some added twists that the shared user base lets us introduce – e.g. as well the main domain being the corporate home, we are able to offer personalised versions of the main site that the members can ‘present’ to their colleagues and connections.

Meanwhile, the member area (BuddyPress based) remains hidden away, and only visible to logged in members.

Does anybody have a clue how to achieve this : https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/topic/giveing-only-specific-users-access-to-albumpictures/

Thank you for your help.

@StSmith – we use exactly this setup on one of our client builds.

They have a standard WP install on the root domain for their corporate front end, with a BuddyPress install on a subdomain for their members to access social elements, book events and so on.

They share the same database, and we even ‘share’ some stories from the corporate site direct in the member domain, and vice versa with some photo uploads.

There are lots of options in addition to multisite – e.g. bespoke code to integrate a shop built from scratch with the profile, or integration of an existing shop into profile, with a member front end for product upload.

For an off the shelf solution, you can have a look at MarketPress from wpmu.

None exist yet. The only option is to us multi site and have each user run a store on their own blog

Your pages are reading the CSS perfectly correctly.

It’s your templates that need adjusting – you’ve installed a photo plugin, and not rewritten the templates to work with your theme.

You may find a kindly soul on here who’ll rewrite your templates for free for you – alternatively, you could try posting on the job board for a developer: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/forum/

Codestyling is a great plugin and works with BuddyPress. You do need to translate all instances of the word group since it appears on several places in different .php files in the code.

@blixus let’s work on the alignment first. Open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all code, paste into pastebin.com, click submit and post the generated URI here. Do the same for your theme’s page.php, index.php, sidebar.php and footer.php

.. and here’s a write up on how to use hooks (or in this case filters), to add your dynamic menu item:

Obviously, you’ll have to adapt the code to add your BuddyPress profile links.

You can also ignore the comment about playing with the priority number for ordering (that’s nonsense). You’d have to take the item list (incoming parameter), and manipulate that – inserting your menu at the right point.

It’s not ‘cut and paste’ though, and you’ll need some reasonable PHP development skills to get it set up correctly.

@maryefern so something’s blocking the creation of the bb tables.
– Delete bb-config.php,
– change to bp-default theme,
– deactivate ALL plugins except BuddyPPress,
– go to BuddyPress > Forums
– reinstall Group Forums
– check if bb tables are created in DB

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/codestyling-localization/ could be useful…

I haven’t tried it myself. It does claim buddypress compatibility…

@andrea_r thank you. At the time I answered in my second post, @maryefern ‘s site had the Eleven40 theme and many plugins activated in the site as it is right now, hence reference to Genesis plugin and forums.

@maryefern

1. check if the seven xx_bb_xx tables for the group forums were created in your database when you installed Group Forums, as seen here

2. if the tables are there, then change to bp-default theme and deactivate ALL plugins except BuddyPress to check if issue is resolved.

“You’ll find the template at bp-default” check
could be in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/activity

or in your themes members folder as per mercime

cheers

@alexcurrie123 You’ll find the template at bp-default or your theme’s /members/single/activity/permalink.php

I can’t find how to change any of the slugs. Even if I change the ‘group’ slug to ‘clans’ it only changes like 1 thing. There are tons of buttons and pages with the word ‘group’ everywhere. Have been trying to change “group” to “clan” for days, no one seems to know how except the language file method, I guess I have to do that.

I tried doing it this way: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/

Never worked for me. Is there no plugin where I can just go edit the slugs? Would make this whole thing a million times easier.

You can try this https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

Seems excessive to change every instance of the word “group” (it appears A LOT).
