BuddyPress.org

Have you used something like firebug / Safari (or Chrome) developer tools to see what code it is actually generating for your link?

What’ve you written above looks nothing like a link — has something been lost in your pasting of code?

As, I said earlier in the thread… this is fairly basic PHP / HTML stuff, and not really a BuddyPress question anymore.

Edit:
`<a href="displayed_user->domain?>”>Profile` is how you would write it in a template file

@johnjamesjacoby

What you recommend?
should I uninstall buddypress’s default installation and go for bbpress 2? And also another thing noteworthy is if you use bbpress as group’s forums you can simply import and export forums, topics and replies easily

A lot of the BP URL processing is done by component — components register their base URL part (in this case ‘groups’), and provide functions to process the URL and screen redirects.

If you look in bp-groups-loader.php you can see where the slug is set up, and a walk through of the code in bp-groups-screen.php will show you how the screens are being called.

I’m fairly sure but can’t remember for certain, that BP is grabbing the URLs and processing them, before passing any ‘non-BP’ urls to the standard WP URL rewrite arrays for processing.

[Edit: You may be able to hook in before this happens, and do your group processing]. We’ve done this on one of our sites, but I can’t remember the details off the top of my head.

However, how are you going to recognise the endpoint as a group, as opposed to a standard WP page or post? Are you planning to have a test that gets the endpoint and checks whether it is a group name?

p.s. uk-chess-group? Are you going to be at the British in next couple of weeks?

@newpress Please post only if you have something relevant to add to the thread.

As for limiting your member base from commenting / posting too frequently I simply don’t get the point, doubt you’ll ever grow a healthy content rich site by doing that, but each to their own.

@newpress We’ve discussed you pushing this app newpress and I stated that it wasn’t really appropriate on this support forum. On this thread the OP is asking about BP themes and others have responded with some ideas, Oxwall is NOT a BP theme it is not even related to BP or WP so please stop mentioning it on this forum, thanks.

@murasaki — it seems this thread is getting hijacked. If you need further help / specific questions on the feedback above, it may be best to open a new thread

If your after themes, give Oxwall a try

Long live Frisco!

buddypress profile map is certainly one candidate

@blinkybill01 99% of the time, it’s different instructions for different themes because of the variety of HTML structures/template tags..

== The theme I’m using, and it’s subject to change, is called “The Secret World” ==

Are you going to change your theme or shall we proceed with the compatibility process?

Change profile name field to something other than login name. Then read this https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/how-to-see-your-own-forum-topics/

@frank13 I followed the instructions of @mercime and changed my “Name (required)” to Asynaptic (from Synaptic)… ??! nothing changed

I still can’t find a way to see all my posts or replies – the link still just 301’s

to clarify, going here to attempt to view the topics you’ve started (once logged in):

https://buddypress.org/community/members/synaptic/forums/topics

301’s to this URL
https://buddypress.org/community/members/synaptic/forums/

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

EDIT: apparently you can see a list of yours and others posts/replies here

https://buddypress.org/community/members/frank13/

or

https://buddypress.org/community/members/USERNAME

But there are 2 caveats, the previous link I provided should show you this since that is what the menu selection says “Forum>Topics Started/Replies/Favorite Topics” but for some reason it doesn’t, go figure (dogfood)

Second, only the posts and replies that you made after making the “Name (required)” change are shown, anything you may have written previous to the change will not be shown

I asked this exact same question – this is obviously an important issue for people, who knows how many other times it has been brought up (and ignored) – can the developers please address it?!

one of the best ways to develop something is “eating your own dogfood” but the corollary to that idea is the continuous improvement of the “dogfood” because you are being forced to eat it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food

for some weird reason that just doesn’t apply to buddypress! we’re stuck eating dogfood… lol

can we please combine testbp.org and buddypress.org and implement these “dogfood” improvements please?

another VERY annoying factor is the horrible hosting for buddypress.org – the load time is horrendous! throw on a caching plugin, I dunno, heard of varnish? use a CDN or maybe just switch hosts? there are many affordable hosting solutions that would provide for much faster load times

thank you

@jomjom the modifications I gave were for the page with sidebar -> page.php

I had to remove the “ call from the footer since it gave me an error. Now it’s looking good but still i can’t get rid of the sidebar content, it keeps showing under the buddypress content when I’m in “Full Page.” Thoughts? Thanks again for your help!

Right here, read how to customize beyond the admin screens: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

The action fix is necessary if you want your GF forms working on/from a BP screen, it was originally a fix I requested of GF support when attempting to process a form rendering on a bp new account screen which was simply failing silently, this was their provided solution.

p.s. I think the switch action fix is a must if you want GF to work with BP

@shanebp — yeah, we have s2member on the same sites — and not getting a conflict.

We’re using s2 for the registration forms though (plus a few mods), with gravity picking up on some heavy loading for us on user content submission.
